Considering all the facts available il
would seem that the state board of ed.
ucation has decided wisely in planning
to locate a teachers college at Burling-
ton.
burlington, for such a purpose. is
probably the most accessible point in
the state
The college. according to present
plans, will simply be added to the other
colleges which constitute the University
OF Vermont. The teaching staff and or
ganization of the University will be
available for the students, and in this
way the student-teachers will come in
contact with brilliant minds which.
were the teachers trained along the old
ines would be impossible, as neither
tne salaries, the prestige, nor the facil-
ltIeS for research of a normal school
could attract such high grade men as
Professor Frederick Upper. credited
with being the foremost living author
lty on either side of the Atlantic on
Anglo-Saxon literature, and Professor
Samuel Emerson, sociologist and histor-
ian known throughout the academic
world for his scholarship and vision.
1t IS this type which is needed to in
splre sound and thorough scholarship
ana IN no other environment could this
be so well secured.

General Bramwell Booth, who is sail
ing from England today to begin an ex-
tensive tour of the United States and
Canada, has been c0mmander-in-chief of
the Salvation Army since 1912, when
he succeeded to the post upon the death
of his father, the late General William
Booth. who was the founder of the
world wide organization. Bramwell
Booth was born in Halifax, England, GA
years ago and has been actively con-
nected with the Salvation army since
his earliest years. Among the rank and
file of the organization he enjoys great
popularity on account of his quiet, un-
ostentatious manners and his kindly and
genial nature. When 26 years old the
future commander married Miss Soper,
daughter of a clergyman of Plymouth,
England. She was at that time leader
of the women's rescue and relief work
