VAIL SCHOOL
PLAN RAISES
SERIOUS PROBLEM
Lyndonville Reader Puts
Pointed Question to State
Board of Education
To the Editoi of the
Caledonian-Hecord :--
May I express through the columns
of your paper the sentimcnts of the
people who are interested in argrieul
tural education in answer to the item
published in your paper of August
27th, "Vail School May go to the In
stitute?" .This article jias been read with
much care ami special note made of
the men who were invited by the
Board of Education to advise with
them concerning the matter and we
wonder how many of thesc gentlemen
have sons who are interested in ar-
gricultural education
Do not lose sight of the fact ths;t
the Vail Argricultural School was cs
tablished by Mr. Theodore N. Vail
and given to the state of Vermont
with a view to doing the most good
to the greatest number of Vermont
boys. Most of these boys are not
able to avail themselves of a higher
education through schools, and ev
ery boy who is a graduate of this
school is today in a góod paying po
sition and useful in the world, feel
ing that he owes muchto the Vail
Agricultural School. V
Of necessity, owing to the war, the
school has been small in numbers for
the past few years, and for that rea
son it has been expensive to main
tain. This year, however, the en
rollment bids fair to be large. Forty
boys have not yet f.nished their
course, and there are inquiries and
applications from (iO-75 more boys.
The school could easilv number from
t&.lOOLboy this year. Are ty
worth looking after
How about Young America being
the "Hope of the World" if the
Boards of Education of every State
treat their Agricultural Sfchoos in
thh: manner?.
If a man as far seein gand wise as
the late Mr. Vail saw in such an in
stitution wonderful po.i.sibilities, and
the State of Vermont realized them
six years ago in aecepting Mr. Vail's
gift, are the people of Vermont go-
jng to let this institution slip out of
their hands?
"Does it pay?" we are asked.
How? If you mean does it bring a
revenue into the State? No. Does
any school? But how about a revenue
any school? But how about the boys
of tomorrow if the men of today re
fuse to consider the schools from an
educational standpoint rather than
a fmancial. What about the 40 boys
who haven't finished their course? Is
the aoricultural education of foily of
Vermont's young men worth consid-

CAMPING OUT
IN THE WILDS OF
YELLOWSTONE PARK
Supt A. H. Dinsniore Writes
of His Experiences in Our
National Reserve
My dear Mr. Editor Smith:
From time to time as I paw over
the miscellaneous etreets in my saddle
bags, consisting of fishing tackle,
maps, field .glasscs, strings, shaving
oulfìt and various other things too
nuinerous to mention I come upon a
bundle of yellow envelopes with "The
Caledonian" in big black letters on
them and ara reminded of a promise
made as I was leaving St. Johnsbury
Up to now, the days have been too
full of action to think of its fulfill-nu-nt
but tonight I find myself back
at Mammoth Springs, dose to the
north entrance of the Park, and a
few minutes on my hands after a
busv day, when.I can compose myself
As I look back upon the two
weeks spent in the Park 1 can hardly
see where the time has lipped to, yet
much has been done. On the road.;
we have covered ali the belt line, but
one short strip of uninteresting tim
ber, to which is added the road from
the South entrance up Snake river
to Yellowstone Lake. But this was
only incidential to our pack train trip
in the wilds. And "wilds" is ìight,
for we were three days in a country
entirely without trails,, in which we
saw no "sign" of man, ancient or
modem. ' .
Following my arrivai, several days
were spent in organizing the pack
train, nurchasing supplies and get
ting them to points where the'" can
be picked up as they are needed from
time to time, obviuting the necessity
of a few horses and lightening the
work of loading and unloading as
mòves are made."
Howard Eaton, of "Dude Ranch"
fame had just gone in, picking up
ali the saddles in the countrv for his
50 "dudes." So I had to hire one
horse at Gardiner to complete our
completement of riding saddles and
as the pack team was already at Lone
Star Geyser, 50 miles south in the
Park I undertook to take him out.
This was rash and I have paid the
penalty, believé me.
The Park roads are as familiar to
me as the drive from St. Johnsbury
to the hatchery, alniost. I left Mam
moth Springs at 2 p. m., and made
the f.rst 20 miles at a round trot in
tluee hours and five minutes, not bad
for a tenderfoot who hadn't been in J
the saddle for a year. Next morn
ing, to avoid traffic, I fed my horse !
at 3 a. m., and took the road for the
remainim; "0 miles at 4 o'clock. But
somehow I found it undesirable, for
various reasons generally distri buted
from the top of mv head to my shoe
taps, to hit so brisk a pace and it was
about 10 a. m., when I painfully
pulled myself from the saddle at the
Ranger Stationat the Upper Geyser
Basili. That evening we went into
camn 5 miles beyond and eafly next
morning began our wilderness jour
ney. Six to ten hours in the saddle
daily since then has gradually worked
the sorencsjs out until I am now in
condition so I can take advanta-e
of ali the tricks known to a eood
range rider and iret mile after mile
with comfort both to man and beast.
Our outfit consists of 16 horses, 10
packs and six saddle horses. As
packer and horse wrangler we are
fortunate in having Horace "The In
dian", a man who lived his boyhood
