which before had NJ high school. Some
notable successes nave been scored by
these schools in retaining their pupils
through to graduation. The vocational
courses conducted in these schools ave
proven popular and of great value
1T will surprise most people to learn
that there are today more junior and
junior-senior high schools in Vermont
than old so-calied classical high schools.
The number of Junior and Junior senior
high schools at present is AZ and of elias
steal high schools, including four, three
and two two-year schools, 81, a total of
81. Many of the four year classical high
schools nave been transformed to Junior
senior schools, giving the siX-year course.
In addition to the general duties of

class of instructors secured. In sincerity
and sympathy it undertook to promote
these institutions as superior teacher
training agencies. Notwithstanding. the
student bodies gradually lessened i'm size.
During the wal period, and principally
on account of it, attendance sank to a
low level, as did that of practically all
similar institutions throughout the coun-
try.
THE Vermont system has gained wide
notoriety and approval throughout the
entire country. Other states have used
1t as a pattern, notably our close neigh
Dor, New Hampshire. which two years
ago adopted it practically entire. Time
and experience will doubtless bring i'm
provement. The present board essayed
a task in its administration new to most
OF its members. 1t has made mistakes.

to the bolshevik newspaper "Ekon-

Workers Denied Right TO Strike.
The soviets have the whip hand In
their controversy with the workers;
they are the government and the "Red"
army oacks their DEGREES. There Is
final court Of settlement for all dis
agreements between the soviets and
the workers. II Is the "walI'--and the
firing squad. The right of strike is
denied the workers. Many of those
who have dared to strike have paid
for 1t with their lives. The workers
are without recourse when commanded
by the soviet Whether or not they
were the slaves Of the machines be-
fore communism came, IL Is certain
that they are now the slaves Of the
soviets. Even as slaves of the ma
chimes and the capitalists who owned
the machines, they had the right to
strike for their rights. The soviets de-
prived them of this right.
The bolshevik Sosnovsky. reporting
on the condition in the Tver province,
In the "Izvestia" of the provincial so
Wet March 8. 1919, wrote: "The local
communist soviet workers behaved
themselves, with rare exceptions, In
disgusting manner. Misuse of power
is going on constantly"
The conduct of the soviet commits
saries is a general scandal In Russia.
Their conduct is described In No. II.
January IS, 1919, of the "Izevestia" of
the provincial soviets: "The commits
saries were going through the Tar
itzin county in sumptuous carriages,
driven by three and often by six
horses. A great array of adjutants
and large suite accompanied these
commissaries, and an imposing num-
Der of trunks followed along. They
made exorbitant demands upon the
toiling population. coupled with as
saults and brutality; their way of
squandering money right and left is
particularly characteristic. In some
houses the commissaries gambled away
and spent on intoxicants large sums.
The Woodworking population looked
upon these orgies as complete democrat
ization and failure of duty to the
world revolution"
These pen pictures of life in Russia
under the soviet regime are not fur
nished by the enemies of bolshevism;
they are the complaints of bolshevik
leaders. Do we need greater warn
| ing of the menace of bolshevism?
