Hillegas Again Praises o. H. S.

In an address before the Montpe-
lier board of trade last week Com
missioner of Education Hillegas men
toned again the agricultural course
of our high school. We quote few
sentences which are worthy Of peru
sal outside the fact of the mention
of our school.
'There is not one modern educa-
tional movement suited to conditions
in Vermont that is not in operation
somewhere in the state. Vermonters
need to realize that, measured by any
of the standards ordinarily applied to
schools, their state ranks well toward
the top. In particular, the coopera-
tive arrangement between the high
school, and the shops in Springfield, is
probably the most effective organiza-
ton of that sort to be found in the
country. No better arrangement of
agricultural courses in the high
school can be found anywhere than
exists in Orleans. Arlington has set
an example of rural school improve
ment by the community concerned.
Boys and girls from this state bring
home from various national meetings
prizes and rewards for the excellence
of their work.
