A Course for Social Workers.
Barre Times. J

Changes in the activities of life are
typified in some of the changes being
made in our educational institutions.
For instance, there is new course to
ne opened up at the University of Yer
mont next fall for the training of social
workers, as well as the seeretarial
course. A course for the development of
social workers indicates the growth of
4 new aud better idea of life, the idea
IF being ''my brothers Keeper else
there would be no demand for training
in such work as that of going into the
highways and the byways of life and
helping to lift those who, through mis-
fortune or otherwise. have fallen be-
hind in the race of life. Recent news
items in the Vermont press have ind-
Gated clearly that there is work for
social workers even here in little old
Vermont and that there are many of
hese people who have not kept up with
the progress of their fellows in materi-
ai ways. in moral. ways and in spiritual
ways. There are only a few social
workers in Vermont at the present time
due largely to the fact that the work
IS generally pnknown rather than to the
fact that the people and the public are
not willing to lend assistance to those
IN distress or other hard lot in life
Therefore, the prospective course at the
University of Vermont may serve to fill
the ranks of the social working force
OF the state besides supplying workers
to other states. The idea back of the
planning of the course is admirable.

service in the navy and during the re-
cent war was commander of the Ameri-
ca, one of the ships taken from Ger
many and transformed for. American
service. Captain Day took approx
mately $4,000 soldiers across the At
lantic after America entered the war
without serious mishap. The ship
had one very narrow escape when a
torpedo from German submarine
passed within a few feet from it but
it was not hit.
Captain Day is ffty-two years old,
vigorous and active and it will not be
strange if in the course of time he will
be rewarded for his excellent service
during the war and the state of Yer
mont have fourth admiral in its list
of distinguished naval officers.

THE DILLINGHAM; BILL.

The immigration bill introduced by
Senator Dillingham; would repeal all ex-
listing laws relating to Asiatic immi-
grafton and after July !, 1920, restrict
immigration of each nationality to five
per cent of the number of people of
that nationality in this country. Sen
ator Dillingham; in explaining the pur-
pose of the bill said that he believed
it would improve relations with oren-
tai countries and that it would fix
definite limit to the future immigra
tion of laborers, particularly from
southern or eastern Europe, thereby
preventing possible, if not probable,
repetition of the enormous influx of
such immigration which prevailed prior
to the war, and which the immigration
commission found to be highly detri-
mental to labor conditions in this coun-
try
Vermonters will recall that Senator
Dillingham; was chairman of the immi-
grafton commission and that this was
pR ctically the recommendation he
made when the commission reported
its investigation of conditions in Eu-
rope. Congress at that time did not
enact his recommendation into law and
it remains to be seen whether it will
do so now. 1t seems hardly probable
congress will pass such a law to take
effect next July, because it has so many
other weighty problems before it.
There is one distinct advantage in
the bill and that is the prevention of a
great influx of any one nationality in
to America. immigration in the past
has been largely in waves from certain
countries. There was time when the
major portion of the migrants came
from Ireland again from Germany
then from Russia and most recently
from Italy; and each of these waves
gave this country the Irish, German
Russian and Italian problems of cit
izenship. Under the proposed law none
of these nations could furnish such Q
large number of immigrants as they
have in the past.
There is some question whether sucl
law would give this country all the
immigrants it might desire. Immigra
ton is controlled largely by industrial
and political conditions. When indus
! trial occupations here could furnish bet
ter pay and better living condition.

desirable one for this country to adopt

The Spring Wheat Crop

Wheat-cutting is virtually finished in
the Northwest, and threshinp from
shock has started and will be in full
swing this week, providing weather re-
mains favorable. Reports from the
threshing machines confirm the esti.
mates of damage done during July by
blight and rust. Yields are below an
average and the crop appears to be
light in weight, though it is said it will
make strong flour. The average
yield promises to be TO 10 mushels
per acre.
Commenting on the deterioration of
crops in Minnesota the last month,
Paul H. Kirk, Minnesota field agent of
the department of agriculture, SAYS:
Practically every crop in Minnesota
has suffered from multiplicity of dam
ages. Continued floods injured all crops
in the southwest district and along
the lowlands of the Minnesota river.
Several counties m the northwestern
district also suffered severe damage
from floods in the territory tributary
TO Mud lake. Scab, in bad form, ap-
peared during July in practically all
of the spring wheat area. The damage
from this disease was greatest in the
southern two-thirds of the state. In
the extreme northwest there is but lit
tie seab in the wheat. Blight, due to
hot weather and too much moisture, is
another factor causing crop damage
Black rust also developed during July
The damage was not as great as an
tieipated. The major portion of dam
age to small grains was from scab
blight and premature ripening of grain
Flood damage in local areas was the
big factor in crop loss"

Tie Gentleman from Ludlow.
(Rutland News.)

No possibility for the Vermont gov
ernorship in 1920 has thus far been
mentioned who seems to be recognized
as filling the requirements quite as well
as Frank w. Agan of Ludlow. If Mr..
Agan is a candidate and is selected, the
state is certain to get a man of the
most desirable age and experiences
splendid executive. 1t goes without
saying that Mr.. Egan would not seek
or accept the high position as an honor
for himself. To him it would be an OPP
portunity for service, for hard con
scientious, loyal service to the state
which he loves beyond all else and
where he has made conspicuous sue
cess as captain of industry. Keep
the Ludlow man in mind study him.

faith he has in him.
