NORMAL SCHOOL
FIGHT EXPLAINED
Member of Board of Educa-
ton Answers Questions
Made by C. I'll. Stearns
SCHOOLS CLOSED BY
NATURAL CONDITIONS

No String Attached to Carnegie Cor
poratiOn Offer to State of 100000 -
Local Prejudice Back of Attempt to
Reestablish Normal Schools.
RANDOLPH, Oct 30.-Ths prospec-
tive legislative fight over Yermont's ed
ucational system, including the attempt
to reestablish the two normal schools, Is
given extended editorial consideration
in the current issue of the Herald and
News, whose editor, Luther B. Johnson,
is a member of the state board Of edu-
cation. The article, which is in response
to letter from Charles II. Stearns of
Johnson to the Brattleboro Reformer, is
as follows:
1t has been understood for some time
that if the plan for teacher training in
Vermont expected of the state board Of
restoration of the two normal schools
discontinued by action of the last legis-
lature, the friends and supporters of
these schools would antagOnize it as con-
ficting with their interests. In fact, no
tice to this effect was served on the
board. If the board had followed the
line of least resistance it would have
because in conscientious discharge of its
duty it could not. In following its chO-
sen course the board we'll understood
that it would invite a spirited attack
aimed not only at the plan ITSELF but
very likely also at the board.
To this there could be no valid OBJ
lection, as constructive work to be OF
value should be able to stand the test
Of criticism; and the best laid plans us
uaIlV come through the fire Of sincere
opposition refined and improved. 1t was
hoped however, that the paramount in
terests of all good citizens in any plan
looking to the bettermeut of our schools
would bring about an examination made
with sole reference to its merit, and de
velOp a discussion free from acrimony oil
unwarranted charges of bad faith or ap-
peal to local pride or prejudice. The
whole discussion can and should be con

STRANGE Hotel.

What is probably the queerest hotel
and restaurant in the world is that
recently erected at Atlantic City. N.
j. 1t takes the form Of n monster
elephant. Seen from a distance the
resemblance Of the structure to a live
elephant is remarkable. AS you ap-
proach 1t its huge size becomes appar-
ent, but you quickly observe that IT
is only a thing of wood and iron, but
most cleverly contrived. 1t boasts of
many beds, and dining pavilion Oh
the animals back capable of accom-
modating two hundred people. One
reaches this novel restaurant by
means of a staircase which runs up
through the animals legs and body.
Here and there windows give the nee
essary light. Needless to say the
elephant hotel is causing quite an at
traction, and its owner bids fair to
reap a good harvest as a result of
his ingenuity.

ALL DELIGHT TO HONOR F0CH

The rooms of that modest first floor
fiat are crowded with the trophies
which all civilization has offered In
homage to the man who led the allies
to victory Such profusion of beauti-
full things and notable works of art
is rare, and admidst it the unassum-

Gold caskets, jeweled swords of

glass cabinets that line the walls.
Here is all the respect, all the enthu-

the ingenuity of great artists, sculp-
