SENATOR'S SUMNER AND WILSON ON

where are the two Massachusetts, Sen
ators and what are their opinions on the
present crisis in Massachusetts ~ No
body knowing them has doubted but
we are able TO set this matter at rest by
their authority. We have seen Senator
Sumner and Senator Wilson personally,
and are authorized 10y them TO say, "that
they deeply regret and deplore the extra
ordinary canvass which General Butler
has prccipitaled upon the Common
wealth, and especially the attacks which
he has volunteered against the existing
State Government and the Republican
party Of Massachusetts and that in their
opinion his nomination rs Governor
would he hostile TO the best interests OF

~" liy AN enactment nf the las! lrgis-
lature Of Vermont, any GRADUATES. of
normal schools are 10 br permitted To
serve rs TEACHERS in tie public schools of
the state As there are something over
1000 districts in the state, with not
more than onc-iourtil that number of
available graduates, and the 'normals"
are OF only about 100 school ma am
power annually, of whom ut least 20 per
cent. will get married and retire every
year, the rural districts are necessarily
trying TO reconcile themselves to shutting
up their literary shops until their law
makers come TO their senses.
Republican,
There was no such enactment of the
last Legislature, nor anything like it.. In
1866, five years ago, the Legislature en-
acted that after five years from that lime
onl y the holders Of the certificates of fit
ness to teach, given after examination by
the State Board, or graduates of the
Normal Schools should be employed as
teachers in the public schools, and that
enactment was repealed by the last legis-
laturc. OF course there is no such emer-
gency as is so slashngly described by the
Republicans itemizer. The town super
intendents may and do still grant certti-
Gates to teachers as heretofore, and it is
not our Lawmakers, but the blunderers
who concoct such nonsense as the above,
