will not entertain you by a recital
Of Elias Halls struggle for freedom,
but ! am interested in thee incidental
references in his narrative Of woe to
his business adventures and the sue
cess which attended them. Hall came
to Middlebury in 1900, when the set
tlement was only about dozen years
old, a young man without a cent. He
went to work in a shop and learned
the trade of gunsmith. He says:
"After about ten years industry, and
the most rigid economy, ] found, by
estimation, that | had acquired from
ten to twelve thousand dollars worth
of property; consisting of building
lots and buildings in Middlebury, wild
iands, mills, etc. | had acquired the
whole by my own industry and hard
larnings, not by speculation" Up. 81.
Imagine young mechanic doing that
in Middlebury today, or in any other
town in Vermontl
You have to travel to the far West
before you find similar rapid increase
in estate, or the spirit of ambition and
achievement which leads to it. II is a
pioneer accomplishment. Elias Hall
did it in Vermont, but it was when
Vermont was the pioneer West, when
every town in the State was filled with
young men alert to establish their for
tunes, in the real Western spirit.
To the possibilities of rapid eco
nomic advance in the early days Of
Vermont, the historian from whom
have already quoted, DR.. Williams,
bears striking testimony. He says:
Amidst the hard living and hard
abour that attends the forming new
the settler has the most
iattering prospects and encourage
nents. One hundred acres Of land in
/ new town does not generally cost
him more than he can Gpare from the
wages Of one or two years. Besides
himself, the profits OF his
abour will generally enable a yourS
nan, in that period Of time, to procure
himself such tract Of land. When he
,omes to apply his labour to his own
and, the produce Of II becomes eA-
remely profitable. This first crop cf

edge"
What interests me particularly in
this noble tribute is Thompson's testi-
mony 70 the influence Of his Vermont
environment in his education. His
wanderings in fields and woods up and
down this valley, his excursions in the
mountains, 10 Lake Champlain and
Lake Dunmore, wrought nightly up
on his mind and spirit. The hills and
the forests were important elements in
HIS education. He studied deeply and
intimately also in the early records Of
this region, so that in scaling noun
tains and threading forests he did not
merely look upon beautiful scenery,
but he made real to his mind the char
acter and spirit Of the men who settled
these valleys and won and saved the
freedom Of the early Vermont com
monwealth
We look out today upon the same
majestic mountains as greeted the
eye Of the author Of the story which
gave the world its fixed impression Of
the character Of Ethan Allen and the
early Vermonters. The same docU-
mez.ts and sources are open to US as
those which so stirred his imagination,
and every year is bringing new ones to
light. We ought to make more Of our
Vermont environment. / trust we
may soon find larger use in an educa-
tional way Of the magnificent Green
Mountain Estate which is the unique
possession Of this volloge. Many Of
you are Vermonters by birth and resi-
dence; others have chosen Vermont as
the place Of your college education.
To all Of you Vermont has much to
give, through its rugged climate, its
beauty Of valley ard moun@ufi, ard
through its marvellously
and instructive history, es-
oecially the story Of its founders, the
men Who made Vermont.

SIGN Of boundless fertility, Of almost
miraculous exuberance Of vegetation
which was made upon the early set
tiers by the rich valleys Of Vermont
They felt themselves In Gods new
country Of boundless wealth and
promise-the same feeling that has
come over the Western pioneer in
every stage of his march to the
Pacific.
The kinship Of Vermont with the
ever-receding West is further mani
fest in the rapid requirement Of sub
stantial means by the men who made
tie commonwealth The West has al
ways been a gct-rich-quick country, in
purpose, ambition, and spirit, if not
always, in fact, in individual instances.

Rural School Near Platts-
burg, N. Y, is the Finest
in the Country
An Educators Dream Come True

designed by a master, is built into the
large auditorium; the study rooms
are decorated with masterpieces of
painting and sculpture; the Shakes
peare room for instance, is paneled
in dark English oak; has small paned
windows, and a fireplace fashioned
after that in one of the old clubs in
London frequented by Shakespeare.
In this rural school, every depart
ment of modern vocational training is
thought out, equipped and conducted
on the highest plane in addition to the
regular academic courses. Agricul-
ture has a large emphasis in the
school program, drafting, building,
iron working and metal crafts, ma
chine working, in fact all the indus
trial and agricultural arts, CONNER
cial and business courses, domestic
science, dressmaking, and household
design are available to the pupils
Health and cleanliness are watch
words. Every child learns to swim ir
the wonderful swimming pool and en-
| joys both an indoor and an outdoor
sport. Hot lunches are served tt
every pupil daily. An attractive ane
we'll adapted dormitory near th'
school provides attractive living quar-
ters for single and married instruc
tors. Music of the best, movies, ant
plays are given at night in the audi
torium for the public as well as tn
school; and both the usual and un
usual night classes are open to adults
The school is administered by tn
local school board like other publ
schools, except that an adequate en-
dowment for maintenance supple
ments the county appropriation.

Of those already published, one is

Of those already published, one is
unquestionably the most self-reveal-
ing. That is Theodore Roosevelt's
Letters to His Children" In some
respects this comparatively small book
is worth all the other volumes to-
gether. In this, it is not the national
hero who is writing for the admir-
ing public to read. In reading these
letters, one is not interrupted by the
voice of a Boswell, unable to restrain
some pride at having been familiar
with a great man. Though the Roose-
velt ledgend will probably continue to
grow. the various books written by
admirers may add to the pleasantness
of his qualities little that is not shown
in these letters written for such a
special audience. 1t is already possible
for one to collect an entire shelf OF
books about Theodore Roosevelt.
Many a home in the United States
will doubtless rejoice to have such
shelf. Yet the discerning may not SO
much wish to collect everything writ
ten about a man whom they like as to
have three or four books that satisfy
their discernment. One wonders which
of the books about Theodore Roose-
velt to be published this autumn viii
simply extend the legend, and which
will be for the Observation-Disclosures
Science Monitor.

The finest rural school in the
United States has been built, and IS
accommodating 500 children OF
Clinton County, N. Y. 1t is fifteen
miles from Plattsburg in village OF
800 people and to it the children from
the ten surrounding rural school dis
tricts are brought in high-powered
motor buses. The school has been
built with future growth in mind and
can accommodate 1000 pupils. 1t
takes the child through the elemen-
tary and high school grades.
The Chazy Central Rural School is
the gift of a well-known inventor who
was born in the county, and nothing
has been omitted from it's construc-
ton, design and equipment which can
contribute to modern education. A
description of this school sounds like
the fairest dreams Of all our creative
educators. The attitude of the people
of Clinton county sounds like dream
too, for they love the school and ap-
preciate it happily, from the Oldest
inhabitant to the six-year-old young
ster building houses and barns on the
sand table in an elementary class
room.
The Clinton county school is of
Spanish architecture, beautiful
building in an appropriate setting
with the architectural details of the
interior adapted to the uses of the
building without sacrificing the charm
of Moorish arches in ceiling and
doorways, of colored plaster walls il
the corridors, and inviting stairways
Corridors and stairs are covered with
thick linoleum effectively silencing the
tramp of many feet. A pipe organ

Books About Roosevelt

So far, each new book about Theo-
dore Roosevelt has added its bit to an
evolving legend of national hero,
sort of Beowulf of the United States,
a model for the more energetic youth
of the present generation to emulate,
an example Of national ideals rea-
lized. Thus we have had Theodore
Roosevelt: An Autobiography"
"Theodore Roosevelt and His Time,
Shown in His Own Letters" by
Joseph Bucklin Bishop; "Talks With
T. r." by John J Leary, Jr.; "1m-
pressions Of Theodore Roosevelt" by
Lawrence F. Abbott; Theodore
Roosevelt" by William Roscoe
Thayer, all of which have been COM
mendable books intended to reveal
admirable qualities of an admirable
man for the benefit of a hero-loving
public. AS yet, however, Theodore
Roosevelt has not had his Lytton
Strachey to represent him in i'm
partial detail, nor even his Gamaliel
Bradford to sketch facile literary
portrait of him. Interesting as the
several biographies are, showing, as
they do, the friendliness of the vari-
Gus writer's, they none of them quite
satisfy the one who is looking for q
full understanding of the man, be.
cause they are all written from much
the same general point Of view. Thai
is why new volumes of impressions
continue to, appear, TO complement
those which have not done full justice
to really large subject.
For this autumn, then, we have al
ready Corinne Roosevelt Robinson
"My Brother: Theodore Roosevelt,
and we are promised "a Friend
Chronicle" by William Allen White
Roosevelt in the Bad Lands" b.
Hermann Hagedorn, and Roosevelt
in the Kansas City STAR" by Ralpl
Stout. And these are only some O
the main titles in what will soon b
long photography. Eventually tn
number Of books about Theodor'
Roosevelt will doubtless exceed tn
number about Abraham Lincoln, fo
the first two decades of the twentieth
century afford material more readil.
than the middle of the nineteenth cen
tury could. The extraordinary mas
of Colonel Roosevelt's letters alon
holds out an almost unbounde'
promise. In these days of the multi
plicity Of written words, can any on
book about great man or woman b
defnitive? Certainly the reader VIII
wishes to understand Theodore Roose
velt in all his variety will lhave man,
volumes to consider.
