VERMONT SCHOOLS ANALYZED Wmmmmm
Carnegie Foundation Makes Critical
Surrey of Educational System.
MONEY PAID COLLEGES WASTED
Report ncrnmmrnd tbnt SntiMillcs

In TenrhlnK Agriculture unit
' Vocntlonnl Simile,
NEW YORK. Feb. H.-Tho first critical
Investigation or alt the educational fa
cilities of any stato In tlio union has Just
been completed by the Carnegie- Founda
tion for the Advancement of Teaching.
The state selected was Vermont, and the
work was undertaken at the request or
a committee of the state legislature. )
Tvhlch desired (lo exnmlne and Improve
Its entire educational system.
A summary of the foundation's report
was marlo public today. Ono of the rec
ommendations Is the transfer to the pub
lic schools of the money that the state
now gives to colleges. The University of
Vermont. Mlddtebury collcgo and Nor
wich university, no one of which Is
owned or controlled by tho state, have
recently received Increasing state all, a
total of $20,000 a year In 1905. $30,000 In
1911 and $100,000 In 1911 The report recom
mends the withdrawal of theso subsidies
because Vermont cannot afford a regular
state university; becauso It Is unwise to
glvo public money and public prestige to
Private corporations; becauso the col
leges have not used their subsidies
wisely, and becauso they got along very
well before they were given state aid and
It Is evident that they will be cared ror
through prlvato benevolence.
The report says that the University or
Vermont neglected agriculture atvl used
lis appropriation for a medical school
that can never be successful with the
small amount of clinical material that Is
available In Burlington. Norwich uni
versity used Its appropriation for engi
neering In a location and with an mutt.
ment far Inferior to those of the Uni
versity of Vermont. Mlddlebury collcgo
also used Its appropriation for subjects
already provided by the other Institutions
and for a department for training of high
school teachers, of which tho slate has
already an oversupply. The effort to gain
these subsidies from the legislature,
moreover, according to the roport, in
vplvcd the Institutions In an unfortunate
educational and financial rivalry.
Pnbllc School ZVrcil Monpy.
The public schools, on the other hand,
need monoy. They provide the entire
education of more than nlne-tenths of
the children In the state. Half of the
teachers, however, havo had nb profes
sional training and are paid only $3 a
week or less. -The report recommends
that the Blalo spend on tho common
schools what It now gives tho colleges
and as much more as it can afford, giv
ing the teachers better training and bet
ter salaries; providing them with moro
aid and guidanco througH better super
vla!onaand a moro helpful stute admin
istration. It Is recommended that the
down training classes for teachers, that
wer established In tho high schools- In
1910 bo multiplied, so that every now
teacher In tho state shall be a high
school graduato with professional train
ing. Theso classes graduated more-than
100 sUcli .teachers- Inst year, and soon
.will be able to supply tho entire 400 that
'the stataftted annually- The twep'stute
nbrnial. schools, , tho abandonment of
whloh Is recommended, have provided
less than n dozen 'such teachers each
year.
It Is further recommended that the
teachers, together with a now state
commissioner of education, sovcrol dep
uty commissioners and a number of su
pervisors, gradually work out a now pro
gram of studlea for the schools which,
without Interfering with ltn academic
character, wilt relate It moro closely to
the dolly life of the pupils. It Is rccom
mended that the hlRh schools Include- vo
cational courses: that there bo special
'agricultural schools, nnd that the work
of tho Stato Agricultural college be
made or greater valuo to the farmers.
Further school consolidation, With
transportation wherever necessary, Is
also recommended both for elementary
and high schools, so that every com
munity may, be within reach of first rate
schools Inste'ad of scattering Its money
nnd care among a largo number that
nre Inferior.
Kilnrntlnnnl Commlimlnn Named.
Referring further to the existing sys
tern in Vermont, the report says It Is very
good In many respects.
The governor recommended such a
tudy as has been made by tho foundation
to the legislature, and tho legislature, In
TCovember, 1912, constituted an educational
commission with Judge John If. Watson
of. tho supreme court as chairman, and
representative cltltena like Thoodore N.
Vail, president of the American Tele
graph and Telephone company, and Frank
H, Brooks, president of tho Fairbanks
Keale company, and representative educa
tors like Nicholas Murray Butler, presi
dent of Columbia university, New York,
as members. In February, 191$, this com
mission asked the Carnegie Foundation
for the Advancement of Teaching to un
dertake the study. Under the direction
of Its president, Henry 8. Prltchett. a
dozen members of the staff of the founda
tion and specialists from Columbia, Har
vard and Wisconsin universities, and from
the United States Bureau of Standards
devoted six montlis to study In the field
and an equal time to the examination and
presentation of their records and sug-sestlons.
