Many Changes, Also, Since Pres
ident Benton Came.
Initiated Movement That
Resulted in Shake-up Of Public
School System-Plans for the
Future.

It IL a very different State university
since President Guy Potter Benton took
hold Of affairs six years ago. The execu-
tive's report to the board Of trustees at
their annual meeting showed marked
increase in enrolment during the period,
reminded them Of the fact that the uni
versity initiated the movement which
resulted in the present elementary and
secondary school system Of the State.
etc.
The college Of medicine alone lost in
enrolment, as was inevitable because OF
the tightening Of graduation require
ments. In 1901 the college had 1856 stu
dents; BILE 1870; 1928. IA; 19l3-14, 11S;

500; 1885, $685. 1867, $50. This repre-
sents a gain Of 273 or "a per cent. The

during the six years of 541 or 1851 per

But there is mo merit in numbers

versity also has taken leadership in YER
mont. in these respects: 1. General and
agricultural extension. by projection of
the university out into the remote parts
Of the State. g. In preparing teachers.
particularly in home economics and agri-

sitys suggestion which examined the
States public school system.
ADDITIONS TO CURRICULUM.

executive committee Of the board had
power to carry out his recommendations
In the college of arts and science the
president said in his report that the de-
partments of chemistry. education and
modern languages were of most impor'
lance. The normal curriculum will be
retained and changes will be in the di'

TRAIL GETS PUBLICITY.
Prominent Articles in Review Of Re-
views and Outing.


views and Outing.
The Trail Is mentioned prominently in
an article in the July issue of the Ameri-
can Review of Reviews. and an associate
editor of Outing gathered material with
Secretary James P. Taylor of the Mer-
chants association two or three weeks
ago for long story in Outing.
The author of the Review Of Reviews
article is Philip w. Ayres. and his SUBJ
ject is Mountain Trails in New Eng
land" We quote snatches: 1.-THE Green
Mountain club is doing similar work in
Vermont trail-building, etc.). 1t has
planned a long trail from one end of the
State to the other, over Mt. Killington,
Camers Hump and Mansfield, ard has
already completed about one-third Of
it. Already one may take a fifty
mile tramp through the Green Mountains
or through the White Mountains without
leaving the trail. but the two are not con-
nected." Again the author refers to the
delight of enjoying the Incompatible
views from Cancels Hump. and the high
nose of Mansfield. Those views
from Cancels Hump and Mansfield are
really superb. On clear day one may
easily discern the Adirondacks on one
side and the White Mountains on the
other"
