Mr. w. r. Bowen, addressed our peo-
Dle on the Importance of the Dixie
Highway the need of closer coopera-
ton by the people of Perry in secur-
ing more work for this part of the
road through Houston county The
probable outcome of this visit will be

braved the trip despite the inclment
weather.
Continuous rains have impaired the
roads somewhat, but the party was
able 10 meet its appointments on sche-
DUE time, arriving in Macon at 7 D.
n. AT each of the towns along the
Dixie Highway, meetings had been ar
ranged for and quite appreciative au-
diences met the party in Abbeville
and HaWkinsville and an open air
meeting was held at Perry.
The Tour was a success as the re-
11eWed interest created in the adjoin-
ing counties will certainly manifest
itself in betterment of the condition of
the Highway. Steps will be taken to
have the route changed from Perry to
HaWkinsville via Hanesville to the
road through Grovania, as the Hous-
ton county authorities will be better
able to keep up this road through
their county.

Word comes from different parts Of the
State that a number Of representatives IN
The present Vermont House. or former
members. will seek election to tho coming
Legislature Without in any way desir-
ng to interfere with the principle of home
rule for each town by itself in the mat
:er of choosing its own representative, we
desire to impress upon the people in gem
eral the desirability of having always in
the Legislature a certain proportion of
former members. The session thus opens
with the advantage of having men who
know the ropes and work can begin far
more promptly than would be possible
with House made up entirely of new
members
While there are exceptional cases where
a new man may be in a position or quail
fled to make his mark. town usually
gains by returning a former member.
Let US take, for example, town as far
away from the Champlain region as Wood
stock to illustrate our conception of this
situation. We understand Franklin S.
Billings may be candidate for representa-
tive. He has served two terms in the
House of Representatives having been at
one time the efficient chairman of the
committee on appropriations and having
been an excellent working member of
other committees Of Importance. He was
Governor Bells chief of staff, and mem
Der of the Vermont commission on the
conservation of natural resources for two
years. IF in addition to this prestige, for
mer Representative Billings should be a
successful candidate for the speakership
or some other important position, Wood
stock would be put conspicuously on the
map.

EDUCATION IN VERMONT

fFror the New York Sun-Herald)
From the report Of the Carnegie Foun-
da'ion for the Advancement of Teaching
Wa learn that the State of Vermont has
the envianle distinction of paying its COM
missioner Of education more than any
other State officer, including the COVER
uor. The Carnegie Foundation is natu-
rally inclined to emphasize the value Of
good education and the inference Is that
II would be highly pleased to see every
State in the Union follow the lead of Ver-
mont.
1t is doubtless true that the teaching
profession, lock, stock and barrel, is lis
gracefully underpaid. The commissioner
Of education at Washington, who comes
under the jurisdiction of the department.
Of the interior, draws smaller salaly
than the director of geologic survey or
the commissioner of fisheries, and vel
most OF us agree that education Is Of as
much Importance to the national we'll
being as an accurate survey of the Mo-
Jave desert or the adequate protection
of the salmon spawn grounds. But does
Is necessarily follow that commissioners
of education are more worthy of reward
than State governors? Or that, following
the example of Vermont. the chief COM
missioner in Washington should be more
aighly paid than the President?
Plato maintained that the head OF the
State should also be director of educa-
lion, hut Plato never dreamed of Z State
containing over hundred million in
hapitants. When the report OF the Car
1egie Foundation goes on to say that
clai"-s provisio1 expresses the I'M
avoidahle perspective in complete
Democracy" it is difficult to undcrsta
the exact meaning implied. Possibly
our law makers are not great artists,
for it is only among the greatest of
these that true perspective is unavod-
able.
Whether the post Of commissioner of
education will ever be generally exalt-
ed to the level of governor is doubtful.
but it is worth while to watch Vermonts
bid for intellectual supremacy. Possibly
the next report from the Carnegie Foun-
iation will show that tho Green Mountain
boys are more highly educated than
those of neiphboring States. In that case
state governors will have to make way
before the trumphal progress of the eda'
cation commissioners.

Conservation Commission advocated ablll
permitting a shor. trapping season for
beavers under certain restrictions. This
Dill was not passed. and therefore as
heretofore. beavers can be killed only
by agents of the Commission or with
special permit from the Commission. by
property owners who have suffered
damage. Skins Of beavers so killed are
disposed of for the benefit of the State

Just what laws for dealing with the
beaver problem will develop in the future
remains to be seen. II is generally con
coded that the beaver should be pro-
tected from determination and retained
