People living in cities and villages and
having little or no conception of cOndi-

board of education as reasonable condi-
tiOns under which the children of Yer

represent some rather radical changes

conditions under which you would wish
your own children to go to school and
conditions which some of YOU are in

too, il we are to keep our population in

In setting up these standards. the

Better Rural Schools.
(Rutland Herald

Mrs. Dorothy Garfield Fisher, whose
efforts toward improving rural condi-
tons found first and concrete express
sion in the model school cdifices which
she succeeded in getting built in Airing
ton, is very earnestly devoted to inn
proving rural school buildings in other
towns. and in this she has the hearty CO
operation of Commissioner Dempsey and
the rest of the board of education.
Some talk has been occasioncd by
Mrs. Canfield'S widely quoted statement
that out of HOO rural schools in Yer
mont only six came up to the commits
siOn'S standard. This has been inter
pretcd as a reflection on the schools of
Vermont, but it is far from that. 1t
simply means that the commission has
set 4 very advanced objective for the
country schools and that six so far have
achieved it.
. \ great many things enter into the
qualifications of superior rural
school, teaching standard. books, equip
ment, buildings. etc, and the standard
is purpOsely placed very high in order
to have something whose attainment
means real progress.
Schools that fall below that standard
are not penalized; neither is there any
disgrace attached to a failure to reach
that standard at one jump, but schools
which d1 excel are rewarded. not only by
an added prestige and increased educa-
state appropriations under the admins
tration of the state board.
This plan may or NAV not work out
as a widespread, general incentive to
better rural schools. 1t Will undoubt-
cdly be found that a great many school
buildings cannot. by any process of I'M
provement, be brought within the stand
ard set ND by the department. so that
new buildings may be necessary before
the same are rated as standard, but the
general tendency will he toward better
rural school plants and teaching stalls,
and new superior schools viii doubtless
be added year by year as the work goes
on
The fair thing to remember is, how
ever that while the number of these
standard schools is comparatively small,
there has been great deal of real prog
rcss and that schools which have been
improved almost to the superior standard
are entitled to as much credit. in a COM
paratiye way, as those which have gone
over the top.
The way to state the situation is not,
therefore. that there are only six su-
perior schools in Vermont, but that all
Vermont schools have been improved, six
of which have reached the very high
standard set up by the department.

The Cash Register Duty.
lSpringieId Republican.D

When Mr.. Munsey's New York Her
aid said that it could not stand for
damn fool protectionism, it must have
had in mind such duties as that one o9
cash registers now carried in the pend
ing tariff BILL Under the old tariff law
cash registers are on the free list. The
McCumber bill places a 25 per cent ad
yaloTem duty on them.
The National Cash Register Co of
Dayton, O., is the leading maker of
this line Of goods. 1t IS a very prosper
Gus concern It has two classes of pre-
ferred stock on which seven per cent
dividends have been paid regularly for
years. The common stock has not
missed a dividend since the present COM
pany was Incorporated in 1906. In the
years 1917-1921 the common stock re-
ceived seven and a half per cent divi-
dends, while 30 per cent stock dividends
were paid to holders Of the first pre-
ferred and the second preferred shares
in 1916 and 1921 respectively.
On Thursday. last, the senate voted
to place a % per cent duty on cash reg
listers. On Friday Senator Willis OF
Ohio in a clash with Senator Harrison
of Missouri announced that the head OF
the National Cash Register Co. of Day
ton O.. was opposed to taking cash reg
listers off the free list. Senator Harri-
son thereupon proposed that since the
head of the largest cash register concern
in America did not want tariff protec
ton. the p per cent duty be eliminated
Itut HIS motion to restore cash registers
to the free list was lost.
These are the simple facts about casl
registers. which are in universal use il
the retail trade of America. If Mr.
Munsey. a consistent Republican protec
ZIONIST of somewhat older school, get
profane in repudiating such legislation
his oaths help to expose an evil ant
