THE DEFEAT OF THE TEACHER
TRAINING BILL.


The overwhelming defeat of the
teacher college bill in the Vermont
House after the measure had passed
the Senate by a good-sized majority
means, in all probability, that the pres
ent system of training teachers in
Vermont will be continued for another
period Of two years and that, in turn
means that Vermont will not secure
all the teachers of required standard
which the schools of the state need
1t is probable that the majority in the
Senate would block the opposing ma
iority in the House, so that the session
will end with the age-long controversy
still unsettled and with Vermont the
victim of prejudice, prejudice developed
to a deadening degree. 1t is this sort
of prejudice which is holding Vermont
back from the progress which IS her
right. We are harming the state by
failure to look at some of the great
problems from a broad viewpoint, We
do not mean to say that there Is not
merit on both sides of the controversy
for there undoubtedly are good points
to be brought up in favor of each con
tention; but there is, we believe,

Formal approval has been given to
the reorganized company of the Yer
mont National Guard at Mortified,
increasing the number of companies in
the state organization to seven. There
are prospects of two more companies
being added in a short time, one at
Richmond and the other at Windsor,
as steps are being made to form organ
izations. This rehabilitation of the
safes military arm is encouraging, not
as an indication of larlike tenden.
cies but as revelation of good citi-
zenship and desire to render service.
1t is expected that in due time the Yer
mont National Guard will be restored
to a condition that will be at least as
good as it was before the declaration
of war by the United States against
Germany.

Five members of the Vermont legis-
lature of 1900 became governors of
Vermont. Those who have been watch
ing the affairs of the 1920 legislature
are wondering if there will be five from
that body to become chief executives of
the state; and if so, which ones. No
doubt there are gubernatorial aspira
lions developing in the minds of sew
eral of the gentlemen.

marked preponderance OF merit IN Ia
vor of the plan which proposed to es-
tablish state teachers college, con-
tinue and enlarge the present system
of teacher training in secondary schools
and conduct summer schools for the
benefit of teachers already in the pro-
fession, in contradistinction to the pol
lev of sending more of the states good
money into two normal schools which
failed to demonstrate their worth to
the state.
1t is probable, however, that the
state will not revive the mistake of
appropriating money for the two nor
nal schools at Johnson and Castleton,
the sponsors of which furnished the
chief opposition to the policy of state
teachers college as outlined by the
state board of education. These lat
ter, led by Representative Stearns OF
johnson, carried their point in defeat
ing the state board of education's plan
but they probably could not convince
enough members of the Senate, and
perhaps not of the House, to induce
the state to continue bad investment.
If, as it seems likely, the state is to
stand on its present platform regard
ing the training of teachers it will be
necessary to develop and strengthen
the teacher training courses in the high
schools and academies of the state
which, by the judgment OF those in
position to know, are doing good work
in preparing teachers for the rural and
elementary schools of the state. We
ought to sink our prejudice and unite
for the time being at least on a pol
icy of developing these teacher-makers'

NITRATE PLANT
 LOST IN HOUSE
Friends of Muscle Shoals Con- tinue Fight-Majority House Against Appropriation Only Eleven.

Washington, Feb 25.-Notwith- standing the rejection by the House today of the Senate amendment to the sundry civil bill appropriating .$10000,000 for continuing work on the Wilson dam at Muscle Shoals, Ala bama, proponents of the proposition were still hopeful tonight that way might yet be found for obtaining fa- vorable action. Action now, it was explained, depends to large extent on the Senate Should it insist on retaining the amendment the matter would go before the House for an other vote. The vote was 193 to 1892 Tennessee's flop from the solid south was discussed in the debate.
 House proponents of the project were hopeful of acceptance of the ap- propriation, should there be another vote, pointing out that the majority against the amendment today was only II, with 2S of their number ab- sent.
 The conferees of the two houses will have to hold another meeting or several disagreements on amendments including Muscle Shoals, before the bill is finally through the executive stages.

BIG NAVY
 IS DEMANDED
President-EIect Rebuffs Naval Holiday Plan-BOrah Resolu- tion Expected to Be Passed by Senate.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The infu- ence of President-elect Harding today was thrown behind the big navy pro- gramme of the Senate naval affairs committee majority and against the stand of the House for decreased ap- propriations for the naval establish ments
 The views of the president-elect were set forth in letter to Repub ican eaders in the House and Senate Party leaders promptly predicted MT Harding's letter would have potent influence in the forthcoming contest in the Senate over the naval appro- priations, which were increased $100,- 000,000 by the Senate naval com mittee.
 The president-elect in his letter, it was said authoritatively, expressed himself as desiring continuation of the present naval building programme without substantial reduction.
 No reference was made by MT. Harding in his letter, it was stated, to the disarmament proposal of Sen ator Borah of Idaho. Republican and Democratic leaders, however, joined in private predictions that the Borah resolution requesting the president to call naval disarmament conference of representatives of the United States, Great Britain and Japan would be adopted by the Senate, eith- CT in the form of separate resolu- tion or as a rider to the appropriation bill Senator Borah is understood to favor the latter course.

 The Cornish estate owns land near CT to the Rogers we'll than to the Busey gusher, the original producer of the Fl Dorado field. The land of the Cornish estate is within three quarters of a mile of the Busey well, which greatly enhanced the value of the land when oil was found and the Rogers No. l being still nearer the Cornish holdings makes the value of the land reach the peak
