the absence Of President Guy Potter Ben

Guy w. Bailey to take ONCE on Septem-
Der II, instead of October /, the date
originally set. AS already announced in
the Free Press, Mr.. Bailey's duties will
pertain only to the business half Of the
institution. Of which he will be in charge.
The council of deans will be in admins
trative control. with Dean George H. Per-
kins presiding as acting president. The
four heads of the schools Of the univer-
sity will meet soon to plan their work.
DR.. Benton will sail, II his present plans
hold. during the second week in Septem-
Der. He has already notified the war
work council Of the Y. NJ. c. A. that he
will be unable to make any further SUM-
day addresses at various military camps
In the East. He spoke last Sunday at
Aver. Mass.
The president expects to return to
America In time for the next commence
ment in June. 1913. If the war ends be-
fore that time. his duties would naturally
be suspended at once, he says.

particular duty. His retirement carries
with it nothing that will prevent him from
maintaining his pleasant relations with
the institution. or from cooperating in the
great extension work and other service
for the State which is being done under it's
auspices.
The appointment of Mr.. Lawrence as a
trustee has varied significance. One of
the most significant features of the situa-
ton is that Senator Proctor's resignation
was handed not to the trustees or the
president Of the university, but to Cover
nor Graham, and that Mr. Lawrence was
appointed to the vacancy resulting by the
Governor Of Vermont thus demonstrating
the character Of the university as State

certain number of trustees. Early proof
and precedent were established. The New

KEEPING VERMONT ROADS IN
SHAPE.

People who frequent the highways in
different towns can not have failed to
be impressed by the striking contrast in
methods Of maintenance in various COM
munities. On the road from Underhill to
Cambridge. for example. you may pass
a man driving team with a road drag.
and also carrying a shovel. After a rain
has softened the highway so that ruts
are caused this public benefactor drives
the length Of the highway under his pa
troll. and the surface Of the roadway is
again leveled. the loose gravel being
drawn into the holes and ruts. Whenever
he comes to spot where few extra
shovelfuls of gravel are needed he throws
some Of the material from the side Of the
roadway into the track and the road is
as good before. AS little stone work out
of the new gravel. they are raked off
and the road is left in a smooth and serv-
iceable shape that would be credit to any
city.
The patrolman and the people of that |
community evidently take pride in their |
road. and they have just reason for that
pride. We know of no highway kept in |
better condition as a whole than the road
in question. Now it is easy to figure the |
cost of frequent patrol Of this kind COW
ering miles of roadway. Manifestly the
expense is slight. and the results in every
way satisfactory.
In 9TH to,r, \
loads of gravel pass along the highway
and throw a lot of material in one or two
places and leave numerous small but ag-
gravating holes untouched. These, al
though they make the road rough, were
evidently not deemed large enough to re-
quire treatment. That is where the road
men were grievously in error. If they
would keep tho small holes filled with
gravel. there would never be large hole
to Nil. while the road would be kept in
constantly good condition and at dimin-
ished expense.
The fact that Vermont is not putting
out large sum in new road work this
year on account Of the war, affords not
the slightest excuse for allowing present
roadways to get full of holes and rough
places. One or two men at most with
team and a road drag can keep miles of
highway in good repair.
Burlington long offended by allowing
roadway to go to pieces in this way. Our
department has wonderfully improved.
but we still occasionally have men on this
repair work who apparently do not know
hole when they see 1t, while putting
gravel on the surface. II they will drive
along after a shower. they can easily see
from the wet spots where the holes are
beginning to pound in. needing only a
