POTATO DEAL AIRED
Judge Finds That Blumenthnl Failed
to Keep Agreement With Redmond


A case more than two years old and in
voving the sum Of $50 was disposed of
yesterday in city court by Judge Jed =.
Ladd who spent the day listening to the
evidence produced in the suit Of Samuel
Blumenthal VS.. Robert Redmond The
dispute grows out of a difficulty over
some potatoes in the days when potatoes
were cheap. This was the second time
that Judge Ladd had heard the case. for
it began its career when he was a justice
Of the peace. At that time a verdict was
given the plaintiff by jury. Yesterday.
Judge Ladd reversed the verdict and
awarded the defendant $50. with costs.
According to the testimony introduced
Blumenthal bought 200 bushels of potatoes
from Redmond at SIPS per bushel and
paid s25 to bind the deal. He was to come
after them and pay the balance of the
was put to it for floor space, and finally
sold the potatoes in the city for about
the price expected of Blumenthal.
In the case two years ago Blumenthal
sued Redmond to recover the s25 and a
jury was drawn, Blumenthal won his care
but Redmond took an appeal. Yesterday
Attorneys Page and Mcnamara appeared
for Blumenthal and Black and Villas for
Redmond Judge Ladd held that Blumen-
thai failed to keep his part of the con-
tract in taking the potatoes and paying
for them, and that Redmond was entitled
to the money which Biumenthal had paid
him, with S25 more for the trouble and
expense caused by the plaintiffs failure
to keep his word.

PROBABILITY OF NO
NORMAL SCHOOL
Institutions at Johnson and Cas-
Teton Must BE Closed in Au-
gust, and Legislature Failed
to Make Appropriation for
Authorized Central School

There is more than possibility that
Vermont will be without a normal school
next year NJ. r. Hillegas, state super
intendent of education. when seen at the
Hotel Vermont yesterday, said that un-
less something turned up that would be
the situation. The schools at Johnson and
Castleton must be closed In August. in the
opinion of the attorney-gencral, and no
other place for a school has been selected
While the Legislature authorized the
establishment of a central normal school,
II provided no money to build or operate
one. and no private donations seem forth
coming for such a cause.
There has been a falling off in the de-
mand for normal school education Of
about 20 per cent this year, and there are
at present only about s. students in the
normal schools The reason for this is
that the salaries of teachers are so low
that there are no attractions in that
profession. Pupils who attend schools can
go right out into business and earn more
than those who taught them. The last
bulletin Issued by the government shows
a decrease in the number training to be
teachers of about Is to 20 per cent, and
that is just about the rate in Vermont.
When asked regarding the disposition
of the schools which are to be discon-
tinued next August Mr.. Hillegas stated
that while the State board Of education
had been at work on this proposition,
there was absolutely nothing to report at
this time. No plans have been made for
the disposition of the buildings and no
plans have been decided on as what can
be done for the training of teachers. Even
the subject of the customary summer
training schools has not been gone into
with any result.
The central training school for teachers
will be a difficult thing to finance unless
some individuals give money. for while
the Carnegie Foundation gives money to
educational institutions, it usually takes
up institutions financed by individuals
and not State institutions
