The speaker here alluded to man
in Rutland for information relative to the
schools of this town-The man answered
him in mean style, not becoming a
gentleman. He remarked that he thought
the same man was in the audience before
him. He said that mans education was
incomplete, that he had many things yet
! to learn. He had not learned that civility
costs nothing and buys everything, that

the great enterprises of the age would be
stopped. We need money to build church

the educators of the people. Fine archi-
