The resignation of John NJ. Thomas as
president of AIiddlebury college to ac-
cept the presidency of the Pennsylvania
state college is loss to the state of Yer
mont President Thomas received his
college education Mt Middlebury, grad
uated from Union Theological seminary
II New York and later spent a years
theological study at University of Mar
burg in Germany. giving him broad and
thorough education. Perhaps broader
and more thorough was his knowledge of
non which enabled him. when he as.
,umed the presidency of Middlcbury col
ege in 1908. to comprehend the needs
md opportunities of Vermont character,
adapt his aims and purposes to it and
adopt correct methods of serving it. Few
men have more accurately represented
the best spirit of Vermont than he. He
was the pioneer in directing a Vermont
rollege to this education of young people
FOR life work in the state and has gradu-
tied a large number of earnest young
ncn and women to teach in the schools
nd serve in other ranks of useful citi-
:enship i'm the state.
The marvellous development of Mid
llebury college during the past II years.
is improved financial strength and in
.reased attendance are results of Presi-
lent Thomas's work. Perhaps the great
st result is the close personal relation
hip among the students of the institu-
ion which gives a small college great
advantage over larger institutions. Pres
dent Thomas has made great the work
# small educational institution.
The extent of Middlebury's loss can
not be stated until it is known whether
n not DR.. Thomas has developed a corps
If professors and instructors capable OF
continuing his methods and work. If
hese men are not worthy of his mantle
he institution will suffer seriously. If
hey are able to continue his work and
leadership, the institutions will prove
greater than the man who has made it.
VermOnters will hope the latter state
nent may prove true and that the educa-
ional forces of Vermont are not losing
man indispensable to their continued
Isefulness, but are giving to a larger and
better paying institution u man whose
conscientious, able and unstinted service
o a small Vermont college has prepared
him for a greater field. and made hin
worthy of this promising opportunity
While VermOnters feel the going of Pres
dent Thomas is a loss, they may feel {
Unsuitable pride that the state can spare
% its larger neighbOr a man of such abil
ity, character and distinguished service

Properly Dealt With.
(Barre Timcs.)


A BrattlebOro court judge dealt prop
erly with a young masher who accosted &
young lady on the street in Brattleboro
and attempted to escort her, the respond
ent being fined ten dollars. with costs,
and placed under a suspended sentence
of ninety days in the county Jail. But
the sentence was no more just than the
lesson which the young masher got from
the girl herself when she slapped him
vigorously in the face for mis- impudence.
The calibre of the young masher was
plainly shown then when he turned and
struck the girl quite forcibly, the act re-
Sulting in his arrest. No one but man
of cheap stamp would accost a young
lady who was unknown to him and at
tempt to force his attentions on her ::
and few of such cheap stamp would fur
Their reveal their raw natures by striking
the young lady when she very properly
rebuked him for his effrontery. There
have been six complaints of similar ma
ture recently reported in BrattleborO, but
none of them followed up because the
identity of the masher was not known.
Perhaps the experience of the young fell
low who was caught will have the de-
sired effect of putting an end to such in
science.
