Better Than Jazz.

Scripture admits that there may be
time to dance" and some young folks
are so bitten by the mania for jazz that
they will dance in this weather. They do
things better in Felcherville:
The girls met and took up the study

When the girls have a good idea, trust
the boys to fall in with it. Boys have
even been known to go to church IN order
to be first with the coveted opportunity
for Seeing Nelly Home"
Mrs Darius Fletcher, who writes the
above from her home in the old house on
the road from Hyde Park to North Hyde
Park, is 20 years old. does her own house
work and takes care of a grandchild, yet
finds time to foster such worthy enter
prise as getting the girls Interested In the
study of Vermont.
What the average high school graduate
knows about Vermont can usually be con-
densed into a mighty thin thesis. He
couldn't bound the six northern or six
southern or six counties anywhere in the
state. or give their shire towns, either, for
| that matter.
| As to the wonderful history of Vermont,
distributed through almost every county
and with every considerable town a mine
of information, that sort of thing seems
, to be something to be most superfcially
studied, then discarded as soon as the
irksome schedule of school study is &C
lcOmplished.

| old lady-Mrs. Felcher-come over here
sometime next May and examine the grad

whose history we are so proud.

State Courses for Teacher Training.

The state department of education, as
announced in the display advertisement
that appears elsewhere in this issue, has
established and will conduct during the
coming year three one and two-year
training courses for teachers, located at
Burlington, in connection with the Uni
versity of Vermont; at Castleton, in the
former normal school plant. and at Lvn-
don Center, in connection with Lyndon
Institute. These courses, practically
identical in subjects and instruction
offered. are so located as to serve cOnven-
iently all parts of the state.
Each course will have an able and
sufficiently large corps of instructors and
abundant practice facilities. Bennett &.
Douglass. head of the department of peda-
gOgy of the University of Vermont, will be
principal of the Burlington course: Miss
Caroline =. Woodruff of the CaStleton
course. and Miss Eliza &. Allen of the
course at Lyndon Institute, with .. ID.
Mathewson, head of the institute, Co

Gators in Vermont. and will be assisted
by able instructors.
Board and dOrmitory accommodations
will be provided students on very reason
able terms.
The department will also conduct at
| least 21 One-year teacher training courses
! In connection with high schools and acad-
cmies throughout the state as listed in
| the advertisement. These courses will be
| substantially the same as the first year
course at Burlington, CaStleton and Lyn-
| don Center. For those who find it more
convenient, these coures offer fine initial
! training which may be completed later
in the two-year courses, if desired.
| Tuition, books and supplies are free at
any of these two or one-year courses to
all applicants qualified for admission who
agree to teach in the public schools of
/ Vermont for period at least as long as

IMMIGRANTS AND FARMS.

The urban population of the United
States is growing five times as fast as
the rural population. 1t takes no seer
to guess the result within generation
if this continues. The drift to the cities
can only mean continued increase in the
cost of farm products. and the inevitable
increases of unrest, political, industrial
and moral. in our overgrown centers of
population.
And yet the great masses of strangers
within our gates, the immigrants from
overseas, are farmers by training and in
stinet. imneIled to their long journey
by true land hunger. The fact that,
dpspite Americas wealth in fertile farm
land available for cultivation. from one
third to one-half as many immigrants re-
turn overseas as arrive every year, Is
proof that our arrangements for their
reception and assimilation are far from
perfect. Through all the years that we
have had an immigration problem, neither
governmental nor private agency has
evolved Il practicalemethod of getting the
newcomer to the farm land and making
him contented there.
| The immigrant is instinctively gre
garious, accustomed to village rather than
+ isolated life. reluctant to dwell, or make
his family dwell. in that loneliness with
which too many American farmers and
their wives are but too familiar. The
remedy is an obvious one. The lmml
grant must not only be brought to the
Hand. but he must also be brought to II
in groups with people of his own speech
land kind. and such communities as h'
! establishes must have schools and
churches and community centers. There
must be agricultural experts to point thu
way, too.
Private enterprise will not undertake
the work upon the necessary scale. L
lit is done at all, the government must d.
lit. And few viii dispute that it will b.
leminently worth while.

State Economy Needed.
(Randolnh Herald and News.


When former Governor Allen NJ.
Fletcher speaks he usually says something
that is well-considered and to the point.
In a recent address at Essex Junction he
dealt with state topics, on which he is es-
pecially well informed, and called atten-
tion to the tremendous increase in state
expenditures in recent years. In 19O2 he
said the total was $4,000. In 1920 1t
had risen to S4.091 900. and the last legis-
lature, more profligate than any predeces-
sOr, had boosted it so that for the present
biennial period the outlay by the state
will exceed S10.000.000 The per capita
cost has risen from $500 to SLIGO in Is
years. The time to retrench has come.
Mr. Fletcher placed the blame for the big
jump squarely on the legislature, virtually
excusing the governor, who. he said, could
not control the coordinate bodies in these
matters. Apparently the constituencies do
not take it very seriously, for they fail TO
take any positive action looking toward
economy and keep sending up representa-
tiyeS to do the same old thing. Would 1t
| bring the situation home to the voters
more forcibly if the state taxes were levied
directly and as such instead of being COW
cred by a local tax rate? The individual
when he pays his town tax is generally
unaware how large a portion of it goes
| to the state. If the cold figures were
| pumped at him he might become more
thoughtful. The average voter feels that
| his influence on state matters is very re-
mote and hardly worth attempting to
exercise.

too common in Vermont. OF late there
has been a real crime wave of this sort.
with holdups and cracks of very frequent
occurrence. Just why these fellows
should pick out the poor Central Vermont
railway for an almost steady victim by
robbing its depot stations, we cannot see
except as it instances deeper range of
depravity-the absence of the quality of
mercy. Organized gangs, moving gener-
ally by motor vehicles, make these breaks.
They are hard to ward off and hard to
capture, but it has been done in several
cases. A great many perverted men the
country over have come to the conclusion
that plundering is easier than work as
a means of securing a livelihood and are
willing to take the chance of detection.
Drastic effort may be necessarv to break
up this dangerous conviction. re greater

the more encouragement will De offered.

THE LIMIT IN PROFITEERING.

Canada. it appears, can boast-or
cursc-the profiteer par excellence.
A Judge from the States, fishing on
French river in the Dominion, made the
discovery that though pork rind and
clubs, spinners, silver minnows and flies
all failed to lure the wary bass, sand bass
was quite mad about the ordinary, gar
den variety of angle worm. He tried
to dig worms in those parts, but the
ground was dry. He tried to buy them,
and the shameless inhabitants braZenly
demanded no less than five cents a worm
The fact that blue gills and pumpkin
seeds. sinners, perch, catfish and carp
were all eager for the succulent bait
made it worse. and more expensive In
judicial wrath the Yankee wired home for
81 900 night crawlers'- by express.
In years past many men have hired
their small sons to dig bait or seek by
lantern light for night crawlers. Many
more have turned the hose on the flower
bed of an evening instead of sprinkling
the parched lawn, and found abundant
harvest in the morning. Men do strange
things to get bait of various kinds, devise
stratagems both wise and weird. What
might they not do with angle worms a
five cents a head?
Bass fishing may seem a luxury t.
some. but it is truly necessity to thost
who have tried it. and profiteering il
bass bait is beyond forgiveness. We shall
/ await word of n lynching from tn
French river district.
