Education," Charles A., Seldeh, has written, an article for the November Ladies' Home Jour nal, in which he makes a definite attempt to undo the mischief he did in his former article in that Jour nal traducing the public schools of Vermont, or, if not actually hold ing them up to ridicule at least giv ing the impression to the country at large that the Green Mountain state was in same class with some of the illiterate southern states. Pressure was evidently exerted in high places by some of the' Vermont board of education, and as a result we have included in this new article a more sensible and intelligent re view of the educational status of the state. , ' ; We quote herewith that portion of the article which refers to the Ver mont schools as follows: . Vermont, aroused to her short coming by the disclosures of a Car negie - Foundation sdhool survey, is once more educationally awake and doing remarkable things -in the im provement of rural - school buildings, the training of teachers and the es tablishment of high schools. V iShe now has something over sixteen hun dred, teachers of vnormal school or training class, qualifications, as against less than seven hundred in 1900.' The number of college grad uates in her teaching force has doubled. In the same period the leg islature has increased the appropria tion for training classes from $16,500 to $100,000. There were,, but thirteen per cent of the schools "and twenty one per cent' of the . children of Ver mont under competent supervision in 1900. There are now- competent su perintendents for all schools of the state. i Most important of all in this rural state is the work of Miss Rose Lucia as the supervisor of all the rural schools. She is not only an expert in education but an expert on boys .and girls as human beings as well as pu pils. The average pay of Vermont teachers has increased to twenty three dollars a week. Appropriations for textbooks have doubled. . The, amount provided by the public for free transportation of children to re mote schools has increased ten times. There have been encouraging in creases in the amounts expended on new buildings and the renovation of old ones. High-school enrollment' has doubled to eleven thousand pupils over three per cent of the population, in twenty years. "We have not arrived yet," says Clarence H. Dempsey. the "Vermont state superintendent. "Like the rest of the country, we are far from be ing educated to the point necessary to insure our highest welfare. It should be the endeavor 'of every com munity to work together for the re moval of every 'bad spot' in their school systems. The best and only the best is good enough for Vermont and' her children." . One great hope for Vermont, says Dorothy Canfield Fisher, who is a member of the state board of educa tion, is that it is so full of Ver monters. They have an amazing amount of pride 'in their mountains and rivers, vtheif villages and t small cities. They will improve, but in their own way, and that way is not to tear down , and abandon air that's is old, but to improve the Od and to build upon it. What -Sir Auckland Geddes. the British Ambassador at Washington, once said to-a meeting of American educators applies with perhaps more force to Vermont than to any other state in the Union: "A system of education to be effective must grow out of the soil, out of the genius of the people." It would be as difficult to eradicate the traditions of Vermont as to re move her Green Mountains. To il lustrate: Two miles outside the vil lage of Arlington, near the old an cestral farm, where Dorothy Canfield Fisher lives and writes her books, there is the rural school building in which her great-grandfather got his educatfon. It was a most inadequate structure so far , as modern school building standards go. But it had tradition and, therefore,' worth. So the community improved it. They cut more windows to give the right light and ventilation for the children. They made it santiary and built an addition as large as the original building, to provide for better class room work and for training in the domestic sciences. They put in- a trained' teacher who loves children because she has had her own. And summers they rent" the whole outfit as a cottage and use the proceeds to provide hot lunches fo; the school children all winter. Every woman in the community feels it incumbent upon her to do something for that school. . These examples are fairly illustra tive 6f the new spirit in . America. All together they are the promise that Will Wood's prediction will come true, and the general country wide spread of education that he calls for in a decade is a vital', indis pensable part of this far greater task of character education. There is even a guess hazarded as to the time required for reaching the American charter goal. It is ( not really so much of a guess as the naming of a period long enough to suggest the magnitude of the work. "Perhaps two hundred years,", says Milton Fairchild. "Perhaps three hundred. We need, a long perspective." First Red Rose in England..
