the colored citizens, who few years

the throes of mighty revolution. These
now are American citizens, with the
same rights at the ballot-box and in the
courts. and the same interest in good
local government, as ifthey had all been

VERMONT ScuooLs.-An address was
delivered in the Representatives Hall.
Tuesday evening, Oct. 20. by John Ii
French, LII. D., of Burlington, Secretary
of the State Board of Education. lie
said there were last year, 81 600 children
between the ages of five and twenty years
in the State, and estimated that $4,000
pupils are enrolled in public and 5000 III
private schools. Deducting one-eighth
for double enrolment, there remains
about $4,000 who actually attended
schools. The total cost Of schools was
$737 900. Vermont having no school
fund, the whole OF this sum has to be
raised by taxation. He recommended a
reduction in number of school district of.
ficers. 1t now takes about $4,000 to
regulate $500 districts, with 4, 500 teach
ers and 10000 children. These officers
are made up of moderators, treasurers,
auditors, and committees. Fifteen hun.
dred would do better. He defended the
State Board against charges of extrava.
gance. The secretary's work cannot well
be performed in less than 72 weeks, and
requires an assistant. The members had
received only about $50 each. The ex'
pense incurred was principally in publish
ing reports-one Of which cost 5000
school reports, etc. If the State Normal
Schools are to be continued, further lcgls'
lation will be necessary. Vermont gives
her children only 20 weeks schooling
while other states give much more, Wis
cousin seven months. He urged the Leg
i,latuae to enact law requiring at leas
six months. Evening schools should also
be required. argus.
