The February meeting OF the st.

E. Chittenden, former sunperinten-
dent of the public schools of Bur-

superintendent of Junior schools.
Superintendent Chittenden gave
a most informing talk in which he
told many interestin" things about
this newest branch in the public
educational program. He called
attention to the fact that the dew
elopment of the Junior high school
idea the country over had been
very rapid, but although still in
its experimental stage, its success
had been sufficiently marked to
justify its general accentance as a
standard part Of the educational
system There are now % junior
high schools in Vermont and they
are doing good WORK, The COM
parativc expense per ruril as be
tween the Junior high and the
standard high school has been
found to be much less. Junior
high costs from $50 to $40. while
the high school costs from $50 TO
500. Superintendent Chittenden
stated it was his opinion that If
there was an failure to coordinate
between the schools in St. Johns
bury. it was due to the dual con
troll in school matters and should
he remedied by the representatives
of the two systems ~cttino topet-
her and preparing PROGRAM that
would provide against anv pap in

Reasons Are Many Why Interior
Decorators should Seek wider Scoops.
While there undoubtedly "a an In
stinctlve love for the beautiful In
art and nature, the average man or
woman does not greatly interest
himself or herself In matters or art.
They do not study such subjects
or seek Information unless they be-
come Interested through some
prime motive, Onco there Ia cree
nted an interest IN and desire for
better things. however. they put
forth every effort To learn more of
those things that tend TO beautify
the home.
In most cases this interest can
be aroused effectively through eye
appeal. People must see things with
their eyes Comparatively few per-
sonH reason with their minds alone.
Imagination and construction by
mental process is not a common Mt
tribute. That Ia one OF the reasons
why the interior decorator Is called
upon by people who can afford to
employ such expert service.
incidentally, II has been aptly snid
that II tho average interior decorat-
or would descend from the high
horse OF lofty ideals and absurd fall

ple know he can count dollars In

there would be a tremendous i'm
