| for two schools make sufficient appro-
priation and have them such as in future
years and future results the state will be
proud of and the people profit by. ii
there be need for one only, face the prop
osition, and whether at Randolph or Lyn-
don, make it such as will be credit to
the state and benefit to the people of
the state.
Ut was never my purpose to provide
all the agricultural practical education
for the state, nor to go into competition
with the state, therefore when the state
assumed that field I turned over to the
state my school that / might give such
attention and time as ! could to the de-
velopment of the training and education
of the children in home industries and
the girls in domestic rural duties.
"The state was offered the property at
Lyndon in good faith. 1t was intended
as expressed to make it the leading
school of its kind in the state. Presum-
ably it was accepted in good faith, while
there were some questions raised, mere
statement of facts answered all of them.
A provision was made that if the state
did not want to carry out the obligations
connected with the gift that the property
should revert to Lyndon institute for
educational purposes on rural lines for
girls. There is no other provision or ac-
tivity in this direction as yet, except
that now going on at Lyndon institute.
eff the state does not want to main
tain two at present, and wants to con-
tinue Randolph, let the reversion clause
take effect. Then both boys and girls
will be taken care of so far as rural edu-
cation is concerned.
"The only thing that am interested
in is that SO long as the state continues
the Lyndon property as a boys agricul-
tural school, the spirit of the gift and
should be observed, and when
for any reason the state concludes that
it does not want or that it is not wise to
do this, then let the clause for reyersion
take effect The state as whole win
not lose while possibly the girls might
be benefited.
"The Lyndon institute could then be
made the leading institute of it's kind in
where every Vermont girl could
get an education in those industries
which should be known and understood
by every housewife no matter what be
her social position; be educated in every
thing which is necessary to make resi-
ience or abiding place comfortable
home.
"The property is valuable one either |
TO operate or realize upon. The farms
even under the disadvantages that have |
existed have been practically self-sus-
aiming
Il respectfully submit this for the con-
'ideration of those who will have the de- /
,ision, and trust that the practical adj I
'antages and neither personal, partisan
,r sectional reasons will control that de-
.ision.

"bone dry" amendment to the postal
bill prohibiting shipments of liquor
into states which have prohibition
laws was accepted today by the house
321 to ~. 1t is counted as one of the
most far reaching prohibition measures
in years, because it will make abso-

shipments in limited quantities.
Every effort to change the amend
ment was defeated overwhelmingly.
Cries of bone dry" rang throughout
the house and the sentiment swept the
house until the last vote for concur
renee was cast. Members who at
tempted to explain that they were pro-
hibitionists at heart but stood for
states rights were greeted with
laughter.
The amendment. incomparably the
most far reaching prohibition legisla-
ton ever approved by either house of
congress, would result as a barrier
against the shipment of liquor into 10
states where 1t can be imported legally
