A Favorable Impression

The absence of anything like formal
ity which characterized the advent OF
a new president at Middlebury Col
lege, the greeting extended to the stu
dents last week at the opening of the
college year by Dr. Paul Dwight
Moody, who, to use homely express
sion. without fuss or feathers, assumed
his duties in a truly democratic man
ner, created a highly favorable I'M
preston of the new executive
1t was just the sort of an impression
which was to be expected President
Moody would create and it is, we be-
lieve. the impression which is to re-
main upon the present student body
when it shall have passed from that
status to the status OF alumni
President Moody's salutatory, and it
may be 50 termed, was calculated to
give the students an insight into the
mind Of their leader and they surely
got a definite idea Of what he believes
should constitute the basic principles
Of higher education. 1t was a plain
talk, not over garnished with rhetori-
cal flights that the students listened
to and they were favorably impressed
A college president, like the head OF
any other institution or OF any indus
try, must make a favorable impression
for therein lies one of his largest assets
if he is to achieve success President
Moody may congratulate himself tn1i
he has at the outset OF his administr1-
ton created such an impression, not
alone upon his students but upon his
faculty associates and the townspeople
the citizens of Middlebury, the town
of his adoption

Maintaining the Pace

The size of the incoming class of Mid
dlebury College is indicative not only
of the popularity of the institution but
of the reputation of the college with
approximately one-fifth of the total
registration of nearly 500 students ac-
counted for by the new class the
strength of the student body is not
only maintained over previous years
but, the records show, sets a new figure
for enrolment in the college.
As is to be expected, the majority OF
the young men and women who have
entered Middlebury College this year
for course are Vermonters and this
is not only very gratifying to the col
lege corporation but emphasizes the
hold which the institution has upon
the youth of the state, True it also IS
that the freshman class contains many
members from outside the state and
this is likewise gratifying to the col
lege and to every Vermonter who may
have the interest Of this institution at
heart.
The growth of the college and in
crease in student membership is strik-
ingly emphasized to those of the town
who, for a half century, have year by
year noted the enrolment each fall
1t has become a problem to house stu
dents yet provision has been made to
accommodate all who have been admit
ted to the college this fall
As one notes the type Of young men
and women who compose the entering
class the strength of character OF these
ambitious students is apparent. There
is perhaps less of the frivolous nature
manifested in this years freshman class
than might have been detected few
years past-in the pge-war period. The
newcomers give evidence from their
actions of having entered college with
a determination to finish their educa-
ton and, in so doing, with a clear-cut
idea as to the value of the dollars
they or their parents must spend to
crafty such laudable ambitions.

Honoring the Morgan Horse

Middlebury citizens deem it a dis
tinctive honor to be afforded an oppor-
tunity tomorrow to witness the dedi-
cation of a statue erected to commem-
crate the part played in the breeding
of the equine by that sturdy family OF
horses originating from the celebrated
sire, Justin Morgan,
No one will question the statement
that more has been done in this town
and county to exploit the Morgan
horse than elsewhere in the country
and The Register for a long period OF
years, under the ownership OF that gen
erous patron OF this strain of equine
blood the late Joseph Battell, was the
official organ OF publicity that heralded
the achievements of the progeny of the
famous sire.
There was more than the prosaic pro-
position of making money tn At
prompted Mr. Battell to spend years
of his active life and many thousands
of dollars in tracing innumerable pedi-
grees of horses and preserving the re-
suits of such research in printed form,
the Morgan Register and companion
works. There was romance in the
gathering of those valuable volumes
of data and Mr. Battell found the
keenest enjoyment in porting over an
cient books and newspapers and read
ing old letters by hundreds in an effort
to cover every available source OF in
formation relating to the Morgan horse.
To Superintendent II. II Reese of
The Morgan Horse farm in Weybridge
and to his predecessor, w. +. Ham
mond, is the federal department OF agri-
culture indebted for the development
Of this breeding establishment Both
men have labored at their tasks with
a different incentive than that which
often underles the activities OF those
Who work for the government. These

duce horses as nearly like the old Nor
gan strain as would result from eX-

The latter has an opportunity tomor-
row to study, briefly though it be, what

Hon. Walter f. Scott, State Treasu'
rer, has surprised his many friends and
the state at large with the announce
ment that he will not seek another
term of his present Office. Mr. Scott
has served the state well and could
continue in the office another term if
he desired to do SO without any oppo-
sition. From the announcement Of
Mr.. Scott it is evident that he believes
a term of eight years is sufficient ser
vice for any state official
Two candidates from Washington
County have already announced their
ambitions to serve the state i'll this
capacity, and they are exceptionally
good men for the position. Hon.
Thomas II. Cave, Jr, Deputy State
Treasurer of Barre, and Senator James
B. Estee of Montpelier have informed
the press and their friends that they
will seek the position, and it is quite
likely that other candidates will enter
the primary.

Good and Bad Roads

Vermont has too many miles OF poor
roads, but it has some very good Tolus
in certain sections OF the state. The
Vermont highways are better in the
main than are to be found in the rest
of New England, except possibly the
state of Connecticut. This may sound
like Dragging but the tourist, the com
mercial traveller, will bear US out III
the assertion that Vermont highways,
despite many sections of "washboard"
are not as bad as in various sections
of Massachusetts and in Maine and
New Hampshire.
In western Vermont doubtless we
have more reason to complain about
the highways for the reason that the
roads west of the Green Mountains
carry a much heavier traffic than do
those east of the range. Heavy traffic
wears out the improved roads OF our
state, and towards the end OF the sea-
son the condition Of the roads is bound
10 be less conducive to pleasure travel
than at the opening of the season.
After the Vermont highways have
received their early fall treatment with
a drag and scraper the roads will be
greatly improved, and the criticism
will not be heard to the extent that it
has been during the summer months.
The Register has no desire to criti-
else or complain Of the work being
performed by the State Highway De
partment, or the painstaking efforts OF
the County Road Commissioners, but
we do believe that the system now
used in Vermont is old and imprac-
teal and no first class permanent roads
will ever be constructed in the state
until a new and improved system IS
adopted The results attained under
the present crude and impractical sys-
TEN are exceptionally good, and the
roads in certain sections Of the state
where traffic is light are very COM
Portable, but unless we are greatly mis-
taken the main highways, where the
traffic is heavy nine months in the
year, will never stand up as they are
constructed under the present system

Bench, bar and laymen in Vermont
experience a feeling OF disappointment
over the announcement that to Judge
Myer of New York comes the dis
tinction and honor Of appointment to
the United States Circuit court instead
of to that sterling Vermonter, John
w. Redmond of Newport. 1t was not
as a reward for political service that
Vermonters sought to secure recogni-
ton for Mr.. Redmond but because OF
his knowledge of the law and the be-
lief that he would prove a competent
member of the judiciary Of the federal
government
1t is not disclosing an executive Sc
cret to say that President Harding
was strongly in favor of naming Mr.
Redmond and that only the influence
of the powerful New York delegation
in Washington prevailed upon the chief
executive to confer the honor upon
Judge Myer.

As one reads the reports OF the CON
ference of women recently held at Bur
ungton it is easy to find a substantial
basis for predicting the statement that
Vermont women have a desire and an
intention to take a part in mastering
the many intricate problems which face
the state during the rehabilitation
period. Those women who participant
ed in the discussion at Burlington were
not faddists or social butterflies seek
ing an opportunity for self exploita-
ton. They were earnest advocates
of stronger Americanism for Yer
mont and through their efforts, at
home, in public and at the ballot box,
the state will profit.

If one wishes to indulge in rhapso-
dies this is the season of the year when
the changing hues of autumn paint
the landscape of Vermont in a manner
that arouses the poetic instinct, stimu-

cunning to the brush of the artist

its best he must study the hillsides of
Vermont as the shimmering sunsets ac-
centuate the work of the Master Ar

Fish and Game Commissioner Har-

salmon trout for his action in order
ing that a screen be placed at the out
let of Lake Dunmore. The loss each
year of scores, possibly a greater mum
Der, of salmon trout from the lake
through lack of screen has robbed
this body of water of probably hun
dreds of thousands of fry, the greater
part of which would have matured in

Congratulations to James P. Taylor

Generalization to James P. Taylor
The opening of the municipal avia-
ton field at Burlington last week mark
ed Vermont as being far less conserva-
tive than she has been credited and,
incidentally, it added to the many sue
cessful projects engineered by that
high tension and enthusiastic booster
for Vermont, James p Taylor OF Great
er Vermont Association fame, who has
innoculated the Burlington Chamber
Of Commerce with the virus that pro-
duces results.
The establishment of a field upon
which aircraft may land and take
of" in Burlington puts the Queen City
of Vermont on the aviation map OF the
country and warrants the prediction
that the state will play a part in the
development OF the airplane along
commercial lines.
1t is this unhagging attention to any
project which he advocates that has
meant success to Mr.. Taylor in bring
ing about the realization of his ambi-
ton to have a municipal aviation field
in Burlington.
