In New England there was a man
who would commit himself on
any question. Time and time again
attempts were made to compel him
TO take a*stand, but to no avail. One
daystwo OF his friends decided to make
another attempt.
"Bil," said one Of the men, in the
non-cofnniftAl mans presence, "a
traveller told me that he once saw a
buffalo climb twenty feet into a tree
TO get some grapes"
What's that" exclaimed the
other. "a buffalo climb a tree! Say.
Jim" he continued, turning to the
non-commital one, what do You
think Of q story like that"
II don't know" replied Jim, ''but
there's no telling what a buffalo
might do II he wanted grapes"

matter of population or anything else
In respect to population winter fur
nishes the ebb tide because of the de
sire on the part of some people to es.
cape the rigors of winter, while, on
the other hand, the spring or early
summer is the food tide of population.
Other censuses have been taken in the
spring time when it was to the ad
vantage of state composed largely
of small country towns. Then, again,
Vermont was caught at a decided dis
advantage because so many people had
been attracted to manufacturing cen,
tiers through the offers of high wages
in the rush times of the war and had
not returned in any considerable num-
Der. In fact, the census was taken at a
time when the proper balances be-
tween city and country, the nation
over, had not been struck; the large
cities with their industrial plants had
become swollen while the small towns
given over mostly to agriculture had
been depleted. With the slackening of
work in the industrial centers the pop
ulation naturally grayitated back to
agriculture to a certain extent, and
Vermont was scarcely beginning to feel
that impetus when the census takers
made their rounds. So we are con
WINGED that ver1nont's showing in the
1920 census was not fair represen
tation of the states real population,
and the reported loss of one per cent
is not SO much of Encouragement
as it might be.

CURRENT COMMENT
Resignation of DR.. Hillegas.

The announcement that M. B. Hille
gas has resigned his position as com
missioner of education in Vermont vii
bring disappointment to many people
of the state because they fear it may
bring an end to the Hillegas system
of education in the state. For nearly
five years he has held this important
office with the distinction of being the
highest paid officer of the state, his
salary being $1,000 year. The fact
he has given up this position TO &C.
cept a position in Columbia university
indicates he is considered to be worth
more than that sum. If this is true,
Vermont is obliged to lose another val.
liable man because it cannot pay as
much compensation as other institu-
tions.
The present system of education is
very largely the creation of DR. Hille.
gas. In 1914 he was employed by the
board of education to investigate the
school system of the state and his rec
concentrations were very largely adopt
ed by the board and state legislature.
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 education
al work of the state has been thor
oughly organized and, under his able
leadership, the benefits of his system
have been fully developed. lie can
look upon his experience in Vermont
as constructive and beneficial in the
development of his executive ability.
People will wonder whether the
board of education in naming sue
cessor to DR.. Hillegas win attempt to
continue his system of education or
will seek to have the system modified
to more closely comply with Vermont
conditions. The Hillegas system has
been an expensive one for the state.
The total expenses for the department
of education in Vermont in the year
1900 were Sl3s,l4459 In 1915 they
were s749,56l.2l and are now larger
than that. As we pointed out in yes
terday's Reformer the increased ex-
pense of educating teachers and in
the overhead expenses Of school man
have been enormous. There is a
desire throughout the state to have
more money expended in the schools
and less for officials The board Of
undoubtedly win consider
this desire in selecting a new head for
the educational system Of the state
Reformer.

CHINA FORGING AHEAD.
Once Unprogressive Nation Is More
Reminding One of America.

New York, Sept. 3.--China, for cen.
turtles the unprogressive nation whose
glory was in the past, is forging ahead
in business ways that remind one of
aggressive American progress, William
p Bsncker, general purchasing agent
of the Western Electric Co.. declared
here to-day in resume of trade in
vestigations he had made during a six
months tour of the world
China presents most fertile field
for American enterprise" he said. De
spite an occasional military effort by
some small minority, that nation is
hive of industry. Labor seems plenti-
full and, what Is more important, cheap
In fact the latter feature is so true
that capital has a clear way for pro-
ductive plans and new fields of effort.
The Chinese business men, especial
" those who have been educated
abroad, are adopting American and
British methods and are forging ahead.
Exchange is working to the advantage
of China because of the rise in value Of
silver bullion, which works to the bene
fit of the big republic in its position
in other countries"
India, ancient land Of mystery, also
is making big strides commercially,
with Americans there as in other far
eastern territory laying foundations for
future trade, Mr. Bancker said The
Hindoo is beginning to make himself
an important factor in business and
political circles, he continued adding:
1T is remarkable how the average
Asiastic as a result Of foreign eduea-
tional processes seems TO be losing his |
reputation for self-effacing conserva
tism. To-day you find him in positions
of Importance, competing With all |
sorts Of foreign conditions"
Reverting TO China, Mr.. Bancker
said:
zone fart that Americans have
to the advantage in China is the
boycott which exists against Japan
csc and German relations. The com.
bined chambers Of commerce have gone
on record as declaring l0.year boy
colt against Germany and because OF I
racial differences it is very improbable
Japan win ever get a really 1
strong foothold Australia has been
quick to jump into this breach and is
now supplying quantities Of foodstuffs
which the Chinese use, but IL we can
promise any kind Of a delivery and

ton which everyone abroad is insist

vERNoNT,s PoPrLArIoN.

While the official returns of the 1920
census in Vermont are disappointing
liz cannot be said that the loss therein
revealed was unexpected. Il was ex-
pected that the population would Ell

WOMEN OF BARRE SHOULD
REGISTER.

The women of Barre are going to find
themselves greatly outvoted in the
September primaries by the women of
scores of small towns in the state UNI
less they bestir themselves this week
to get on the checklist. In many of
the smaller communities of Vermont
the women are hocking to the regis
tration offices in order to take advan-
tage of their new-won freedom of the
ballot. For instance, in the town of
Barton which has only about one third
the population of Barre, l25 women
registered on the first day of their OPP
portunity, whereas in Barre only thir-
ty-two women saw fit to appear be-
fore the board of civil authority to get
their names on the voting list. Thus
it seems evident that town like Bar
ton land there are many where the
enthusiasm is equally as greatl will
outvote Barre so far as the women sec
ton of the voting population is con
cerned. Therefore, Barre as a whole
will lose its voting Influence, falling
far short of its possibilities through
failure of the women to get out and
vote, with the other women of the
state.
There is still an opportunity, how
ever, for the women of Barre to realize
on the opportunity presented to them
through the 10Th amendment by going
70 the meetings of the board of civil
authority this week. There are two
sessions, on Wednesday evening, Sept.
S, and Thursday evening, Sept. 0, the
meetings being held at the Barre city
court room. There ought to be as
many as five hundred women to regis
ter on those two nights.
Aside from the privilege of exereis-
ing the right Of citizenship, offered I'M
der the 10th amendment, there is a
special inducement for the women of !
Barre to register this year because a
Barre man, John w. Gordon, is run

tative in Congress; and Mr.. Gordon |
