1t is not difficult to understand the
unanimity with which the Middlebury
High School seniors petitioned for
omission of the usual class speaking at
their graduation exercises. And con-
sidering that these speeches were oft
times too numerous and an unneces-
sary strain on both the victims, their
parents, and the audience at large. the
public will feel no great disappoint-
ment. Especially is this so this year,
for displacing the young orators will
be Major K B. R. Flint of Mortified,
who last summer was recognized as
a sufficiently popular speaker to have
prominent place on one of the best
Chautauqua circuits in the country,
and who, the past winter, distinguished
himself as one of the high-ranking
members of the Vermont legislature.
Though not unknown in Middlebury,
where he has spent many vacations,
he has not often been heard here, and
the town will welcome him very heart
lily on this popular occasion. Though
his topic is unannounced we might
suggest to the Professor that a live sub
ject here at present is Our Schools.

is the fact that criticisms follow the
natural laws, and for every action
there is an equal and corresponding re-
action. Some of the writers OF recent
letters to The Register have felt that
this reaction was in a sense unfair,
especially that replies of the school
committee were ungentlemanly retail
atoms. We are not prepared to brand
them otherwise, but where our ladies
take issue on civic and political mat
tiers it is doubtful if they have reason
to expect any less rough treatment, ar
gumentatively, than would a critic Of
the other sex, The point is, this re-
action should not in any way affect
their campaign so long as they feel,
as we feel, that they are generally in
the right in the demand for better
methods in our schools. II the hon
orable members of the committee hon
estly feel that they have organized
here one of the best school systems in
the state, is it not poor commentary
on the whole educational system OF
the state? If what they say is true,
they had better look to some other
states for models; for there IS no gain
saying that in dozen respects at
least, Middlebury schools, as good as
they are, fail to carry out as progress
sive ideas or produce as commendable
results as schools we have in mind in
many other places. Our advice to the
school committee is to give ear to the
women, to give thought to the prob
lens, to survey school work in other
fields, and profoundly consider wheth-
er or not, by getting together in the
cause, we cannot make Middlebury
schools superlatively best. 1t would
be something to boast Of, instead Of to
argue about i.r,

DR.. Thomas New Problems

Niiddlebury has not entirely seemed
TO us like the same place since the loss
Of d.. Thomas and his family; but he
has in some measure made his perma-
nent removal less noticeable because
his practice was to make so many trips
abroad in the interests Of the college
that one may as yet feel that he is
merely away on one Of his former trips.
Indeed, Middlebury will gladly wei
come him home over Commencement.
Ii will also feel a sympathetic interest
in news that reaches us to the effect
that the appropriation OF $4ll,2l4
voted by the recent Pennsylvania leg
stature to cover a building and main
tenance program at Penn State for the
next two years, had been cut by the
Governor to S2l5OOOO This cut of
more than a million dollars is the more
keenlv felt because during the past
year Penn State ran up deficiency OF
a quarter Of million. DR.. Thomas
frankly says in an interview that the
reduced appropriation is a bitter dis
appointment to him and will compel
complete revision of plans Of work for
the next two years He further says:
"The amount approved for main
tenance is entirely inadequate to
support the work the people Of the
state are calling upon US to do,
especially in agriculture, engineer
ing and mining.
"The cut of $4,000 from agricul-
tural extension is especially sur
prising since that loses to the state
an equal amount from the federal
government. This money would
have been spent, not at the college
but in GA counties Of the state I'M
der the supervision Of the county
agents. So far as l know, Penn
sylvania is the only state which
has not taken full advantage of the
federal funds available for expert
advice to the people on the farms.
THE reduction in the amount
appropriated for buildings from
$65O,OOO is very serious in the face
of the great pressure for the ad-
mission of more students Ohio
State has just been voted $1,000,
600 for buildings and Penn State ,
gets $4,000. What can we do with
$4,000 for a college of over 1000
students7"
Though dealing now in larger figures,
DR.. Thomas is apparently finding

1t Was milk Week"

Gradually weaving itself away from
intoxicants, little old New York is try
ing a new drinking fad All over the
metropolis it has been Milk Week"
1t is campaign OF wide organization,
led by DR.. Copeland, the Health Com
missioner, to teach the value of milk
as a food We read that even Mayor
Hylan has sworn on to drink quart
Of milk each day at luncheon. The
campaign started Monday when, under
the auspices of the Dairymen's League,
a glass of fresh milk was given free
to every school child in the city. At
innumerable drug stores and other
places, milk bars have been estab-
lished where business men and women
have been INDUCING in "Holstein High
balls" and the big hotels, too, are fea-
turing milk items on their menus All
this is of special interest to Addison
County, as it cannot fail to have
an influence on the dairy business,
through an increased demand for milk
The New York effort to educate folks
as to the value of milk as a food, how
ever, might be brought right back
home We might properly have milk
and butter week on some OF the New
England farms We can recall from
personal observation a certain family
which included half a dozen children,
all living on a dairy farm, where prac-
t;cally nothing but skim milk was saw
ed for home consumption Cream was
not to be had for either cereals or
puddings, not even when this family
was entertaining guests; and a poor
substitute was served for butter We
are led to wonder on how many farms
this penny-wise, pound-foolsh practice
prevails?

More Ideas for Our Schools

1t never rains but it pours Here
comes the Postmaster General with an
other suggestion for the Middlebu1y
School Committee, just as il the folks
at home were not putting over enough
new ideas Mr. Hays, according to a
Washington despatch, wants an e1tire-
ly new course put in the public schools
curriculum. He wants boys and girls
taught the right way to use the mail
while they are young, and he asks
the postmasters throughout the COIN
try to confer with local school au-
thorities to devise means to teach
child to stamp and address a letter
properly" Further, the postmaster
general requests that postmasters
themselves deliver personal talks to
the pupils on the delivery Of the mails,
the classification OF mail matter, the
parcel post, the registry money order
and postal savings system This ap-
parently puts our genial postmaster,
Mr.. Allan Calhoun on the staff as
practice teacher in the Middlebury
Schools. Viii the School Committee
countenance this federal interference?
Or does the Board not feel that a post
age stamp should be used only in emer-
gency?

A Petition from the Riddles

Everybody heartily enjoyed the first
appearance of the Middlebury Band,
Not only was the music well rendered,
particularly in view of the handlcaps
under which the organization has been
launched, but the scene in the park
was delightful, graced as it was with a
hundred or more little children in addi-
ton to the big crowd Of grown-ups.
1t is a rare child that does not love to
romp or march around on the green
grass to the strains of dance or martial
music and an observant onlooker
would have noted this feature partic-
ularly at last weeks concert But the
Riddles, or at least their mothers were
alarmed when they found how late it
was when they got home and it is
hoped that the starting hour may at
future concerts be as early as seven or
seven-thirty 1t is too good thing
to miss, and the children will have to,
if it keeps them out after nine.
