COMMISSIONER DEMPSEY

Like all other states, like all other /
human organizations, Vermont does
not find it easy to hit on exactly !
tie right way to utilize the cash and /
energy available to run the State gov
eminent. Unlike some Of her sisters
she has never had to struggle with |
the dark forces of political corrup-
ton, but there are plenty of other
complications which beset men when
they try to act together intelligently
and wisely. The Greater-Vermont
meeting in Rutland In November sug.
gested a certain number Of wasteful
and loose-jolnted uncertainties in the
State organizations, some of which
seem almost inevitable in any sort
Of governing device which men can
devise.
But wise man has said about sys
tens Of all sorts. that If you have the
right men to run them, you get the
right results. even If the systems
have many faults; and, If the wrong
men are running them. the most per.
feet systems will give wrong results.
In the last analysis the element of
personal ty is the vita one.
The Vermont State system of edu-
cation has been turned over and over
several times In its history, In the at

gani2ation, and its present form has
ties disadvantages, perhaps uuavoid

sharing of responsibility between the
State Board OF Education and the
State Commissioner OF Education
may be, probably is, the best and
safest way in which the work of the
department can be done; but It
leaves the State Comm ssioner in a
position which demands a very leve'

of patient tenacity OF purpose. A

In his nature would soon fall back on
