Cyrus E. Dallin, who has been Sc
lected to design the Pilgrim half dol
lars to be issued in commemoration of
the tercentenary of the landing of the
Pilgrims, is one of the most distinc-
lively national sculptors that the Uni
ted States has produced. The more
conventional of the output of his art
is to be found in his figures in the IL
brary of congress and in his designs
for soldiers monuments at Syracuse,
n. Y, and Hanover Pa. His most en-
during and strikingly individual con
tribution to his people s art viii prove
to be statues like 'fThe Medicine
Man, in Fairmont park, Philadel-
phia: "The Appeal to the Great
Spirit in Boston, and "The Indian
Hunter, in Arlington, Mass. Mr. DIAL
lin was born and grew up in Utah. He
pursued his art studies in Paris and

Universal Acquaintance Not Necessary.

1t is being urged by some supporters
of Porter H. Dale, who is seeking to
return to congress, that man with "a
universal acquaintance with his asso-
ciates can exercise more influence in
saving Vermont from slicing of rep
resentation through apportionment
than a stranger could. That is the first
intimation we have noticed that Dale
is so well known among his associates
as to have "a universal acquaint-
ance;' in fact, it has been the impress
sion not only in Vermont but in reports
coming back from Washington that de-
spite his six years service in the house,
Dale was one of the least known and
not of very great influence among his
fellows As matter of fact, too, the
question of losing a representative IN
the house depends on cold figures rather
than in influence, the figures being Yer
mont's showing in the 1920 census A
stranger in that case would do as
well as a man with ga universal ac-
quaintance.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER l, 1920.
RESIGNATION OF DIR. H1LLEGAs.

The announcement that NJ. B. Hille-
gas has resigned his position as COM
missioner of education in Vermont will
Hring disappointment to many people
of the state because they fear it may
bring an end 20 the Hillegas system of
education in the state. For nearly five
years he has held this important Office
with the distinction of being the high
est paid officer of the state, his salary
being SIS, 900 a year. The fact he has
given up this position to accept po-
sition in Columbia university indicates
he is considered to be worth more than
that sum. If this is true Vermont is
obliged to lose another valuable man
because it cannot pay as much compen
sation as other institutions.
The present system of education is
very largely the creation of DIR. Hille-
gas. In 1914 he was employed by the
board of education to investigate the
school system of the state and his rec
ommendations were very largely
adopted by the board and state legis-
Iature. As soon as the system was
started DIR. Hillegas was engaged as
commissioner of education to put
his system into effect This he did and
the educational work of the state has
been thoroughly organized andy under
his able leadership, the benefits of his
system have been fully developed. He
can look upon his experience in Yer
mont as constructive and beneficial in
the development of his executive abil-
ity.
People will wonder whether the board
of education in naming a successor to
DIR. Hillegas viii attempt to continue
his system of education or will seek to
have the system modified to more
closely comply with Vermont condi-
tions. The Hillegas system has been
an expensive one for the state. The
total expenses for the department of
education in Vermont in the year 1909
were $138, 144.59 In 1918 they were
$749, 561.21 and are now larger than
that. As we pointed out in yesterday s
Reformer the increased expense of ed
ucating teachers and in the overhead
expenses of school management have
been enormous. There is desire
throughout the state to have more
money expended in the schools and less
for officials The board of education
undoubtedly viii consider this desire
i'll selecting new head for the eduea-
tional system Of the state.

Forced to Do 1t.
Barre Times.)

After opening our mail this morning
we can readily understand why the
Brattleboro Reformer is to increase its
selling price from two cents to three
cents per copy and its yearly rate from
six dollars to eight dollars, for the mail
carried the information that the price
of news print paper would be increased
three-quarters of cent pound begin
ming Oct /. As a matter of fact, the
price of paper has been increasing ev-
cry quarter year. The Reformer is the
second afternoon newspaper of Yer
mont to increase its single copy price
to three cents, the Burlington Daily
News being the first to make the
change. The move was forced by the
increased cost of practically everything
entering into the construction of q
newspaper, the increase in news print
being only one of many advances in
materials and labor.
