A New Spirit

The time was when many college
athletes felt a sort of immunity from
scholastic requirements; they consid-
cred that their athletic proves was of
sufficient importance to make up for
classroom delinquency and general lack
of attention to college studies. These
athletes were toadied to by their fell
ow-studentS and more or less so by
various members OF the faculty, so
that the false notion OF substitution Of
muscular prowess for mental attain
ments gained ground steadily i'll the
minds of the athletes Then came a
reversion to first principles, and the
false god of athletic proves was rele-
gated to its proper place i'll the scheme
of things collegiate Faculties became

are at present 27GO school teachers in
Vermont 26l6 of whom hold regular

on state permits and 80 teaching on di-
rectors permits. The latter, of course,
are emergency permits, and should be
replaced as soon as possible by regular
certificates.
The commissioner also states that
the prospects are that there will be
enough trained teachers to supply all
the schools this fall This is very good
