The state board of education seem to
nave reached an excellent solution of the
problem involved in the selection of n new
state commissioner of education. Com
missioner Clarence H. Dempsey is well
and favorably known in Vermont He is
wei qualified for the position He has not
been involved in factional fights in the
state. lie is, therefore, what the political
generals would call an available candi-
date" Commissioner Dempsey has a ire
mendous task before him to satisfy the
dlscordant demands in Vermont at this
particular time. We believe he will sue
coed, however. 1t. is the patriotic duty
81 every. one of us to help him to solve
Nermont's school problem.

STATE. TEACHERS COLLEGE.

STATE. TEACHERS COLLEGE.
The announcement by the state board
Of cducatian of its decision to establish
a state teachers college at Burlington
in connection with the University of Yer
mont is arousing some criticism on the
part of people who desired the school
located elsewhere The criticism seems
rai~p,acad because the location of such
en institution at Burlington undoubtedly
best serves the state a. a whole. More
students can reach burlington with a
comparatively .short mileage than any
OTHER point of the state and the uniyer-
sitv can give many auxiliary advantages
that could not he secured elsewhere.
Further. the board announces that the
university will give the state a salts
factory site for the building on its
grounds and as soon as some minor
details are worked out the university
will take the initiative in raising the
balance of the fund beyond that con-
tributed by the Carnegie foundation. for
the establishment of the teachers col
lege. The university and Burlington
are earning their right to have the in
stitution located there.
The board of education plans to con
tinue the onc-vear courses in teacher
training in the necessary number of
high schools and secondary educational
institutions to accommodate the stu
dents in all parts of the state and to
make the teachers college a training
place for high school principals. assist
ants. instructors in special branches, su-
pc1intcndents and supervisors.
1t will generally be conceded that the
board has decided upon a good plan and
it is hored one that viii give better
tra.nrd .a~chers for all classes of schools
The success of the plan viii depend upon
the number Of young people in the state
desiring thorough training for the work
of teaching. If there are enough to give
the Instructors capacity service in teach
ing it viii be a great success. If, on the
other hand, but few young people are
willing to enter the institution there
will not be enough students to proftabIy
employ a competent force of teachers.
That has been the trouble with the nor
NAL schools recently closed. So few
students were in attendance that a corps
Of instructors sufficient to give them
satisfactory training made the expense
per pupil very high, excessive in fact.
All citizens hope the central school for
teacher training will not meet a similar
fate.

The New Commissioner.
est. Adams Messenger

Two important announcements in
state educational circles are made pub
Nc today: First. the appointment of
Clarence II. Dempsey of Milton, Mass.
as commissioner of education to succeed
DR.. Hillegas, and the recommendation
by the state board of education that
a state teachers college be founded at
burlington in connection with the Uni
ver~ity of Vermont.
The appointment of Mr.. Dempsey
puts an end to the period of doubt and
uncertainty as to who should be the
boards selection of such an official. The
state must depend upon the wisdom of
the members of the state board in their
appointment, for hardly anyone in the
state is able from personal information
to pass judgment upon the competence
OF the new commissioner.
lie comes highly recommended by Pay
son Smith, commissioner of education of
Massachusetts, and one notes with sat
lstaction that Mr.. Dempsey has had
some nine wears of experience with Yer
mont schools, which should stand him in
good stead in his new work. Mr.. Demp-
sey should encounter a spirit of SYM
pathetic cooperation from the people of
the state. who naturally hope that he
will quickly establish himself in the con-
fdence Of the public

And things and things and things and

Prevention of cruelty to animals is a
worthy object the public should gen
orally support. But there is question
of the wisdom of the societies in New
Hampshire and Massachusetts interfer-
ing with the equine endurance contest
now in progress between Fort Ethan
Allen and Camp Devens, Mass First.
the contest is for scientific purposes to
demonstrate the superiority of some
breed Of horses for cavalry mounts. Sec
ond. no horse over-wearied or famed can
hope to win in the contest and naturally
will not be continued in the contest
after his unftness is demonstrated.
Third, the horses have been trained and
hardened for the contest and probably
arc able to make the tour without Sc
rious damage or injury. These reasons
indicate there is no call for interference
on the part of over-zealous cranks.

wheat as a food for the consumer or its

mined by just such speculation and will

A new type of bars designed for
prisons are of hollow metal filled with
water. These pipes are all connected
with a central pump, and the water is
kept under high pressure. Thus, the
slightest break in any bar would cause
a powerful Jet of water to spurt. To
continue filing the bar would be al
most impossible. Also the fact that
there was a leakage somewhere would
be registered on dial on the central
pump, and lead to speedy investigation.

Sensationalism in PLAYS
Deplored by Drinkwater
Dramatist Warns Against Time.
Worn Tricks Used to Hold
Attention of Audience

John Drinkwater. the English dram
atist who wrote abraham Lincoln"
now being presented in New York,
speaking yesterday afternoon in the
Garrick Theater to the members of the
New York Drama League, deplored the
tendency which, he said, exists among
modern English and American play
wrights to depend upon time-worn
tricks of the stage and sensationaIism
to hold the attention of audiences.
There are two kinds of plays, Mr..
Drinkwater said-one in which action
is used for its own unrelated excite
ment, and the other where action is
seen as arising from or showing the
development of human character.
''In the present days Of jaded nerves
and minds tired by the rush Of the
times in which we live" he continued.
"the tendency is almost entirely toward
the productions Of the first class, and
away from the dramas which are more
true to life and more artistic 1t is the
artists business to draw from the
great chaotic mass Of his own and
others experience, and, by showing the
relation in which the varioug elements
stand to each other, to make life more
clear to the rcst of us. Every play
which is or ever has been successful
owes that success to just one thing
