Adler calls for all‑education reform at Middlebury

He argued for undifferentiated basic schooling to foster lifelong learning and make the entire population competent as learners, shaping national education for an industrial democracy. He tied liberal schooling to freedom and equality, contrasting quantitative expansion with qualitative achievement.

Horse Care Advice From Bennington Humane Society
The Bennington County Humane Society warns that horses on pasture need more hay and grain as cold weather returns. Quality feed has declined, so more quantity or supplements may be required, and fall worming helps nutrient use. Consult veterinarians or extension agents. ignorance is not a defense against neglect or legal penalties. The shelter cannot house large animals but will help find new homes for unwanted horses and ponies.
