LONG JURY COMPLETED;

ABOUT I,500 TEACHERS
ATTENDING CONFERENCE
Vermont State Teachers Association Is
Bringing Out Some Interesting
Discussion-City Hall
Packed with People.

While the registration is not complete,
it is expected that about 1900 teachers
are attending the annual convention Of
the Vermont State Teachers association,
taking place to-day and tomorrow in
Montpelier The city hall auditorium
was packed to the doors at the after
noon and evening sessions Wednesday.
DR., John NJ. Thomas, who spoke in the
afternoon, gave very interesting ad-
dress upon the subject of the demands
which the new world will make upon
public education He told OF the exten-
sion of effort that must be made; that
the schools are not giving enough to the
training for manhood He condemned
the law of 1896, which gives towns the
authority to pay tuitions of pupils go
ing to high schools in other towns, be-
cause, he said, from Monday until Sat
urday the children are without super
vision at that time in life when they
need it most, and that it is perilous
situation that should be remedied by
amendment of the law He discussed this
subject at considerable length. He said
some trustees are looking toward dol
lars instead of towards the welfare OF
the coming generation. He said the de-
mands of the United States are greater
than before the war, that this country
now as a world power must assume re.
sponsibilities that it did not have before
that time and that many of these are in
education.
Mrs. Margaret Kelley was unable to
be present, but her address upon rural
schools was read. II was an interesting
one. She claims that the inexperienced
teachers should be sent to the graded
schools, where only grade is taught,
and the trained teachers to the rural
schools, where problems are complex, and
then pay the rural teachers more for
their training.
