TEACHER TRIMMING INV.

Vcrmont'S teacher training law, sub
etitute for a substitute of the original
BILL was hastily read once before the
lou~r and senate during the closing hours
inr the legislature. and is little known by
the general public. From printed copy
af the act it is learned that the law re
defines the duties of the state board Of
education. giving il power to establish
luat more than five nor less than three
two-year teacher training courses and
one-year teacher training courses in con
ucction with high schools, seminaries and
academies. authorizes the board to pro
vide necessary practice departments for
the training schools and to increase or
diminish the number of Onc-year or two
year teacher training courses whenever
the interests of teacher training so re
Iquirc," gives the board power to fix quail
ifcatious for entrance to a One-year
t.aining course and requires the quail
Gcations to be uniform throughout the
state
1t changes the provision for free tut
ton to include any person desiring in
stluction in such course who win de-
clare in writing an intention to complete
tine course and make an agreement to
itcach i'm the public schools of this state
for a subsequent period equal to the dur
alton of such course of study"
The board is given power TO contract
with the management Of local institutions
for the use of facilities by such teacher
training courses or can provide such ia
cilities itself. If the interests of the state
can better be served thereby" The board
also is given power to arrange for more
advanced training for teachers request
| ing it at any institution of higher learn
| ing within this state but the amount ex-
jpcndcd for his advanced instruction is
| limited to Onc-fifth of all money expended
| for teacher training.
! The new law increases the amount
Iavaiiable for teacher training from S3J,-
1000 to 100000 and provides that any
| unused portion of this sum shall be added
! to the money to be used for this purpose
/ the following year. In other words $780,
1000 is appropriated every year to be
used when the board decides. The an
/ nual appropriation of $4,000 for the sup
! port Of state normal schools is repealed.
! 1t is evident the state has taken a step
| forward in the training of teachers. with
without assuming the operation of a
100000 building for central teachers
college or accepting the burden of main
! tanning two defunct normal schools
! Training as advanced as that of a CEN
trail school can be secured in the colleges
Iof the state for as many teachers in ell
ementary schools as desire it. In some
wa he result seems more desirable
than either the central teachers training
college or the normal Rchool plan. because
the expense of teacher training is def
nitcly fixed. 1t looks as though Vermont
would be able to train as many teachers
as desire training without commitment to
4 scheme of undetermined expense. and
learn in the next two years how great
the demand for such training is.

state when it says that more trout were
taken in the first few days of the open
season than in any similar period for
many years. As The Banner says this
is doubtless due to the open winter and
carly spring which have made conditions
favorable. and is not because there are
any more fish in the streams. Fishermen
who have frequcutcd Vermont waters for
the past thirty 10 fifty years are sur
priscd and c0mfortcd by the fact that
there are any fish at all. There are more
than twenty times the number of fisher
men there were thirty years ago while
at the same time pollution. modern dams
and coarse fish gradually decrease the cx-
tent of water available for game fish
There are now over 10000 people in
Vermont who go fishing and the number
grows from year to Year. The only way
that fishing can be provided is to take
advantage of all the water suitable for
fish and to steadily increase the stock
ing. Not over half the good water is
now producing any fish worth mention
ing. which is not good business policy.
The fisheries of Vermont are already pro
ducing in actual value many times what
they cost and warrant still further in
ve>tment. The return in food value and
health giving pleasure. place the fisher
les in a class by themselves and The
Banner believes that the fishermen Of
Vermont are willing to have the license
fee still further increased in order to de
velop and improve the fishing.

back of the regulations of the Vermont
fish and game department to realize that
they are framed to help the sportsman
rather than hinder him, and he knew,
ZOO, that in returning the short trout to
the water he was doing his part to in
sure good fishing fer himself and his
ncighbors for the next year.
Ii the brooks are to be kept well
stocked the fisherman must rely upon his
own commonsenSc efforts, rather than
upon the results to be obtained from the
operations of a few expensive artificial
hatchcrics which cannot hope to supply
fish as fast as they are taken.
Short trout have never spawned. II
left for another season they will visit
the headwaters and deposit the eggs from
which the next generation comes. They
will themselves be larger fish and more
worthy of a fNherman's skill. \ good

Despite the belief in some quarters
that the stories about the fabrication of
the steel work for the new Connecticut
river bridge are fabrications in other
than a strictly structural sense it is prob
ably true that work on the long delayed
span will actually be started within a
very short time. In some quarters there
is the hope that the bridge will be com
pletcd before the full rush of summer au-
tomobiIr traffic begins, but there is Moth
ing in the speed heretofore shown by the
contractors to warrant any such Optimi~-
tic view. Most Brattlcboro people have
reached the state of mind that they will
believe work is to start on the bridge
when they actually see work ON the
bridge start, and not before. Seriously,
however. it is hoped that the sclcctmen
will impress upon the contracting firm
the vital importance to BrattlcbOro e.
