M. B. Hillegas Is Going
Back to Columbia Uni
versity October |
HIS SUCCESSOR
NOT YET CHOSEN
State Board of Education
Has Matter Under Con-
sideration Some Time

Vermont is looking for a new state
commissioner of education; in fact, has
been looking for one for some time
since it became known to the board
that NJ B. Hillegas was desirous of
terminating his work in order to ac-
eept chair in the teachers college OF
Columbia university. Publicity regard
ing DIR. HiIegas' intention was held
up pending the efforts of the state
board TO secure his successor; but yes
terday afternoon the announcement
was made at Montpelier that DR.. Hill
legas is to leave the position on Oc-
tober /, next, or sooner if arrange
ments can be made.
Several persons have been under con
sideration by the board, it is under
stood; and it is said that the position
was offered Payson Smith, the Massa
chusetts commissioner, who was earn
estly desired by the board. Some time
ago Mr.. Smith made known to the
board that he would not accept the APP
pointment Mr.. Hillegas' formal resig
nation had been held in allegiance until
yesterday afternoon.
DIR. Hillegas' new position brings him
close to the work of the dean of the
teachers college in Columbia and he
will have supervision of instruction.
(, DR.. Hillegas first came to Vermont
when the Carnegie foundation was
making its investigation Of the Yer
mont school system, having been on
the committee that did the work. Aft
er that was completed he went back to
the faculty of Columbia and. in 1915,
he again came TO Vermont, having been
appointed commissioner of education
Under his supervision the education
al system of the state has been brought
into national prominence more than it
has been in many years. The new
teacher training school will be one of
the first Of that kind to be conducted in
the nation He has developed the sys-
tenn along the lines which the founda-
tion advised. The appointment which
he has accepted gives him wider OPP
portunity at considerably larger sal
ary than Vermont pays.
