Trade, Pull, Yank, Grab.
Burlington Clipper)

A fight royal is staged for the next
session of the legislature and it Is
going TO be over the school question.
The location of the teachers training
school at Burlington viii come up for
opposition. While the legislature
cannot change the location the school
cannot function without funds and it
will be UP to the legislature to pro-
vide the where-with-all.
Johnson and Castleton are up IN
arms over their normal schools. Nat
urally they want them continued and
an effort will be made to carry out
this plan.
Can the state stand the cost of the
teachers training school at Burling-
ton and the two normal schools? That
campaign is out for continuing the
Johnson school and will probably sacri-
fee anything TO get it.
There is only one way TO settle this
question and settle it right. The
matter has got TO be looked at in a
broad spirit of what is best for the
state as a whole. While a normal
school at Johnson would be a benefit
to that town, yet il should be aban-
doned If it is not for the best inter
est of the state.
There is generally too much grab
bling and pulling in the legislature.
Every member wants to get some
thing for his town. There are trades
and dickers. ''You help me and ]
will help veu," is the way the thing
goes. 1t is all simply a grab at the
state treasury and the ones who can
make the best trades get the most
for their towns.
Why be so narrow? While the
members represent their towns yet
the state as a whole should be con-
sidered when state money is to be
spent. The towns should throw off
their selfish greed and act for the
state as a whole.
This school question is not a local
or a town issue. Training teachers
is ma unqualified state issue and what
is best for the state as a whole should
be done. The towns have got to sink
their local pride.

Capitalization plan would tend to edu-
cate away from the rural communi-
ties. If / understand it correctly, the
great need today is for rural teachers,
and the reason why / shall fight to
have these two normal schools re-es-
tablished is that this need may be sup
piled.
We believe that the lavish expendi-
ture of money during the past three
years, especially at the Johnson
school, like the employing of 16 or
Is high salaried instructors and as
sistants for less than 25 students,
was a deliberate and premeditated
move on the part of the administra-
ton to squelch the school by making
it so expensive that the state would
not stand for it, and that this was the
reason why the last legislature re-
fused a renewal of the charters of the
two schools.
With so much pronounced dlssatls-
faction as / hear concerning the pres
ent educational system, my fear IS
that the next legislature will be dis
posed to 90 too far and tear down
more than it can be rebuild on improv-
ed lines.
If we sustain these charges before
the next legislature, then our eonten-
tons must fail.
Very respectfully yours.

Teachers Training College Question
(St. Adams Messenger.)


The matter of a state teachers col
lege operated by the state is by no
means settled While there IS law
which authorizes the state board of
education, the old age question of
WAYS and means arises and this will
have to be handled by some legisla-
ture which is not yet in existence.
1t is very likely that someone in
some coming legislature will raise
the question of whether Vermont as
a state needs teachers training in
stitution of collegiate grade. When
such question is seriously raised by
some law-maker, popular interest will
be focused on that point.
It will not be an inexpensive affair
to maintain a college of the proper
character. Thousands upon thou
sands of dollars must be spent annual
" for its faculty and the other items
which make up the budget of such an
institution.
Then arises the question of wheth-
er Vermont will receive a proportion
ate return from such an investment.
VIII young men and women who hold
a degree from such a college be con-
tent with returning to the grades and
especially to the rural schools, or will
IAICN ~ AASA
schools and the larger salaries and
more congenial working conditions ?
Another element Is, whether the
regular cold line" colleges are not
turning out satisfactory teachers for
the high schools. Up TO this time
there seems not to have been much
complaint on this score. Good teach
ers, practically all of our teachers in
high schools, have come from the reg
ular colleges.
The Messenger has an open mind
on this whole matter. And yet it be-
lieves that the burden of proof, and
rather a heavy burden, rests with
those who would establish such a col
lege in Vermont at state expense. And
the first question of all that must be
answered is whether Vermont needs
training institution of collegiate
grade.

s1OO,OOO,OOO WILSON FUND
WHAT BECAME OF 1T
Pocket Money Congress Gave
President For Great Peace
Trip to France
By Harvey's Weekly

Answering a correspondent who
asked if there had ever been any ac-
counting of the S100,000,000 which
Congress gave the President as pocket
change to spend during the war, the
Albany Knickerbocker Press very
properly points out that when the
President asked for the money he
expressly stipulated that he should
not be called upon TO render any
account of how it was spent. Mr..
Wilson felt and said that it might
be embarrassing" for him TO be so
called upon.
This is quite understandable. But
our Albany neighbor reminds its cor
respondent, and the rest of US, of GER
tain items supposedly met from the
little hundred-million dollar chicken
feed benevolence. There was, to be-
gin with, the grand European joy ride
which has kept US out OF peace for
the last two years. That alone must
nave cost a pretty penny. The sup
perb steamer George Washington had
to be practically remodeled TO carry
our rowing autocrat aboard Then
there was the battalion of 50-count

of our large hotels, together with a
very large 1Ild very cApG1ASlNG OAGAASS-

clerks, stenographers and so on, to-
gether with their sisters, their cous-

sTEARNs ON NORMAL SCHOOLS
Attempts to Show that Johnson~is
Unfairly Treated.

Mr.. Editor:
You recently copied from the Rut-
land Herald an editorial concerning
the fight which is to take place over
the normal school question and / ask
for space IN your paper to try and
throw some side lights on this propo-
sition which / consider of very vital
Importance to the people and to the
educational interests of Vermont.
First, / want to say that the Rut-
land Herald is wrong in its state
ment, ''that the attack of the Johnson
cohorts and Mr.. Stearns will be direct
ed along these lines, first, ineficiency
of the state board of education; sec
ond, its expense; third, its remoteness
and overlordship." We are also sure
that the Rutland Herald is wrong in
its statement that the board receive
expenses only, when away from home.
This, however, has nothing to do with
the question.
Our attack, if you are pleased to
call it that, will be made along these
lines; first, to show that these normal
schools have been most unfairly treat
ed, and that continuous effort, COW
er1ng period of many years, on the
part of those at the head of our edu-
catlonal system, has been made to put
these schools out of existence and es-
tablish a central normal school:
second, to show that these schools
have been most valuable asset to
the state in furnishing trained teach
ers by the thousands, at a less cost
per capita than in any other state;
third, that the offer of 100000 by the
Carnegie Foundation is just bait to
Idea" for the training of teachers,
which method has been tried out in
other states, also in New York City
and abandoned. The spectacle of YER
mont being turned over to Columbia
university for experiment and exploit
tation, is a grim one. Their plan, if
ever adopted will be an expensive
proposition for Vermont.
? You will notice that the Free Press
IN all its articles on the subject, saws
nothing IN regard to one of the con-
dltlons of the Carnegie offer, which is,
that the state shall make a yearly an
preparation of 100000 for the main
tenance of this central training col
lege- Does this look like a less ex-
pensive proposition for the training
! of teachers? Further, do you believe
/ for moment that young person
trained in a college like this one pro
posed. Will ever 90 into a rural school
school to teach? Most certainly not.

The plea of one Wilfred A. Bailey,
alias, Russell G. Bancroft, in court
before sentence by Judge Fish last
week, was the plea of a master. In
his promotion of Camp Westmore and
his dealings with people in this sec
ton his ability to carry conviction
was uncanny, and that he was outwit-
ted and finally brought to justice is
. compliment to the officials. 1t is
sad indeed TO contemplate that a man
OF such marked ability should choose
to lend his ability to fraud when the
same ability applied to pursuits of
public benefit might reflect great
credit and honor. And the difference
between the two extremes is not so
wide ehasm as might at first be
thought. At some past time in this
mans life he came to a decision, prob
ably of some trivial nature, in which
he chose the path of least resistance.
Thereafter it became easier and easier
60 follow that path and more and more
difficult to do the right thing, with the
sad end we now contemplate. The
same might be said Of others who re-
eeived sentence in court along with
Bailey. And still we often choose
to make it easy for our young peo-
pie to start on the wrong path rather
than difficult. We laugh at reform,
and let things go. Little things and
little vices and little law breaking and
minor questionable acts. Why are we

in use by the swarming hordes of the
White House Court suite.
We don't know whether Mr.. Wilson
paid for all this and the rent of an
entire Paris hotel, with an incidental
bill of million dollars for damages
out of his hundred million dollar slush
fund or not. If he did and If he paid
out of it also the cost of the royal
progresses through all the accessible
capitals of Europe, that alone must
have eaten appreciably into the dem
milton total of the fund. Our recol-
lection, however, is that a special ap-
preparation of $5,000,000 was made to
cover these expenditures.
And then there were the other
George Washington trips across the
Atlantic. Of course, a hundred mil
lion dollars will go good ways, but
you can get within hailing distance
of the bottom of even that pile If you
indulge in free-for all international
migrations. And that, too, even I'M

lcity of Jeffersonian Democracy.
How much might have been left
of the hundred millions after this
trans-oceanic blowout is pure spec
ulation. But if the President paid all
those bills out of the loose change
Congress gave him how could he have
had enough left to dump S4O,OOO,OOO
into that Muscle Shoals nitro plant!
And this to say nothing of financing

best you can say about it.
For 80 years the Muscle Shoals
crew had been hanging around Con-
gress to unload the thing on the
country in some way. But it was a
case of nothing doing" until the war
came, and then everything was doing
and the American taxpayer was done

War Department did after Congress

dumped in $40,000,0 900 nlore-likewise
of taxpayer money-was to build a
10000 horse power steam plant and
buy more horsepower from a distant

To date, the entire concern has cost
