The NEW BOARD or EDUcArIoN.
Montpelier Freeman says of the new
Board OF Education
SO far as we can judge, it is composed
of independent, thinking, considerate,
iudicious men, who will be guided in
their action by what in their judgment
and they are as likely to be well in
formed as any six gentlemen in the State
will best serve the cause of education.
The business Of selecting the text books
which are to be authoritive after Novem-
ber, 1858, will deyolve upon them, aud
they are gentlemen who will look at that
question in all its aspects, and wholly
with reference to what the educational
interests OF the State demand. The
Board will of course continue Mr.
