OLDEST AND BEST
MILITARY SCHOOL
Such is the Distinction Given
The Military College of
Vermont

Norwich University, situated at
Mortified, Vermont, now has spa
cious riding hall for its xounted
Corps of Gates, gift in memory OF
an undergraduate who made the su-
preme sacrifice in the ST. Mihiel drive.
Now and then, as by this item of news
we are reminded that the oldest and
best military school of collegiate
grade in the country, excepting only
the Government Academies, is located
on the New England map. Norwich
was teaching national preparedness
for nearly century before other COL
leges and the whole people began to
think about it.
None of our institutions of the high
err Learning is more worthy Of renown
than the Military College of the
State Of Vermont" and few are so lit
tie known. One who might say with
quiet pride that he was IN. u. man"
would probably puzzle an alumnus Of
almost any other college. But Nor
witch graduates than a thou
sand during the century completed
last year-will be found filling res
ponsible positions in the fields of sci
ence and the professions, and we al
ways hear Of them when the war
comes. The Carnegie Foundation,
some years ago, said something that
ought to prove of advantage to the
future of the university, when it ad-
vised the Governor Of Vermont that
the board of trustees was composed
too much of local men, and recon-
mended that they be drawn from all
the Eastern States.
Incidentally the Foundation asked
why Gin these days of peace" mill
tary instruction should be given in
this country college? Norwich soon
made fitting answer to that, when
the whole world was flung into war.
The Vermont Legislature usually has
faithfully backed the trustees and
faculty in upholding the policy Of the
founder of the college, Captain Allen
Partridge, a West Pointer. eff rem
dering mankind ignorant of the sci
ence of war would prevent wars"
said Captain Partridge at Commence
ment three-quarters of century ago,
"then would / unite most cordially
with those usually termed peace-men,
for the purpose of destroying every
vestige of it,

The legislature has met in a most

The legislature has met in a most
important session. The question OF
constitutional changes, the education
al problem and various other ques-
tons of legislation will require the
best thought and attention our rep
resentatives can give. We are de-
pending upon the Orleans county dele
cation to make itself felt in a most
substantial manner. This county is
sending to Montpelier splendid lot
of men who will weigh things and give
proper place to matters of Importance,
while inconsequental items will be
passed over quickly. Every man IN
the legislature will be watched more
closely this year than ever before, be-
cause there are important matters to
come before them, and there is large
new class of voters who are interested
to know who is who and what is
what about lawmakers and law max
ing.

The county clerks Of the state are
to ask for a raise in salaries at the
hands of the legislature as well as
our judges. There can be no doubt
about the inadequate salaries paid
some of our officials and the county
clerk may easily be one in that class.
Take the salary of H. B. Cushman,
clerk of Orleans county, which has
been $17OO. Does anyone suppose
that man can live in Newport and
live as the standard calls for in
town this size, do his duty by charity
calls, support his church, travel ever
so little, and lay by for rainy day
on such a salary? 1t might have been
possible six years ago, when living
was cheap, charity calls comparatively
nothing, church budgets much less
than now and the standard set for a
man in such a position much less ex-
pensive.

North, Florida is said to be confronted
with serious educational and medi-
cal problem. People of slender means
have gone there in their automobiles
with their camping outfits to spend
the winter, expecting thus to avoid
the coal shortage of the North. They
are totally unprepared for changes Of
temperature which do occur even in
Florida, and have not calculated on
the sickness resulting from the over
crowding Of the many central camp
ing places and the loss of educational
opportunities for their children. The
heads of many families too, have not
found the work that they expected, the
mechanical trades being flooded with
applicants flor employment. Better
to have staid at home with the old
job and wrestled with the coal prob
lem under conditions with which they
were acquainted.

Principal Watson of the Newport
high school never spoke truer words
than when he said, "You can't pour
education into boy as water from a
pitcher; there must be cooperation
on the part of the boy" He also
stated that the lack of interest by par
ents was very sore need in solving
educational problems. When fathers
will spend one or two nights a week
at their club or lodge, and mothers
will attend bridge and tea parties and
club meetings several times a month,
but neither take interest enough to
attend school meeting once year
or visit their schools, there can be no
real remedy for educational problems.

were injured and probably 100000
worth of property damage done. This
in the aggregate seems to be a terrible

for personal caution on the part of

VOLUME so.

With this issue the Orleans County
Monitor begins it's 5Oth volume, ripe
age for a country newspaper in north
ern Vermont. Quickly succeeding the
Orleans Independent Standard when it
was moved from Barton to Newport
and consolidated with the Newport
Express, the Monitor Immediately be-
came a newspaper of influence and
character, having much to do with the
development of the southern part of
the county.
Founded by Ellery H. Webster the
Monitor passed to the hands of G. H.
Blake and it remained in the Blake
family about 80 years, when it pass
ed to the present management in
1904 The Monior was first four
page paper of various sizes and was
$500 per year. Later it became an
eight-page affair, each page being
six columns wide and each column 20
inches long. The price was dropped
to $3.50. In recent years the paper
has been enlarged in both the length
and width of the page and little
over a year ago was put back to the
original price of $500 per year.
The Monitor has always been a pa
per with the interest of it's readers
paramount. It has been conservative,
but political influence and an influ
ence for high standards of living.
The paper and it's job printing bust
ness has always been an enterprise
which took it's place among other sue
cessful business interests of it's town
and county and is today one of a unit
of newspapers and printing Offices in
Orleans county under the same man.
agement.
Little did it's founder realize to
what proportions his enterprise would
grow, or what place in the history
of his county it would take. Little
did he appreciate the changes which
would take place and the age to which
the paper would attain, for it only
appears now to be in it's infancy, with
untold years of usefulness ahead. Lit
tie did he know the sorrows and the
nelSnCS OF pleasure us COluIlluS WOuIu
be called upon to record during these
years.
The Monitor stands ready to cor
tinue it's progress with the people Of
southern Orleans county, fighting
their battles, recording their history,
and giving such aid and assistance as
it is possible to give. The service it
is trying to render it's splendid con-
stituency has suffered to Bome degree
in the past few months by conditions
which have surrounded all business
enterprises and which are not entirely
over, but which are bound to right
themselves soon, and then we shall
hope to make the service this paper
can render it's field, better service
and more thorough service than ever
before.
We thank you all for your support
in the past, we hope for it's con-
tinuance and pledge our best to make
the Monitor and its service that which
shall deserve your confidence.
