Senator Morrllls Back Pay.

Mr.. EDITOR 1T appears that the
legislature is at work on bill relative
to Senator Morrill's back pay, and that
the wisdom and virtue of the state I"
are likely to spend several days at an
expense of about one thousand dollars
per day in deciding what disposal to
make of the money.
Every honest Vermonter will regret
that the legislature should spend more
than the least possible amount of time
in the discussion of that question. If
the money was rightfully Senator Nor
rill's it should be accepted without de-
bate. If on the contrary it was in effect
stolen property, money which did not
rightfully belong to the Senator, the
state stands in the same relation as the
receiver Of any stolen goods, and the
legislature should not hesitate in regard
to the proper course to pursue. it is
plain TO every honest thinking man that
the back pay was in effect stolen proper
ty, therefore the legislature should re-
turn Senator Morrill's gift, without de-
bate, and thus free the state from all
participation in that great fraud.

Report of the Secretary of the
Board of Education.

We have received from DIR. French,
Secretary of the Board of Education,
the sixteenth report of the Vermont
Board Of Education, October 1874,
printed at Rutland by futile & Co. We
have bad lime for only glance at its
contents, and copy below the general re-
marks, included in this report, from
some Of the superintendent In this Sec
ton. The uperinteDdents quite gener-
ally favor the adoption of the town sys-
tenn or the consolidation of the Els.
tricts in some form.
We copy first from the report of the
superintendent of this town,
DIR. E. H. PETTENGILL.
The schools, the past year, were quite
successful, as general thing, l think
there seems to be disposition on The
part of committee men TO get, as far as
they are able, experienced teachers.
Still, there is now and then one that
ought to be attending, instead of teach
ing, school.
FROM REV. A. STEVENS OF WESTMINSTER.
The schools in this town are many Of
them small. Good teachers do not want
them, aud poor ones are of no use to
them. This makes the schools in the
back districts of but little account. They
are looked upon by scholars over fifteen
with contempt. Some Of these districts
have a large grand list, but get along
with cheap school, on the excuse that
they have but few scholars. The wealthy
send their children away, the poor are
put OFT with poor schools. The trouble
is not with our system Of education, but
with the general habits of society. Fam
lilies, If they are able, will live in the
village. The farms are left to them who
must make home where they can. We
must bring back to the State the old
fashioned habit Of quiet industry and
thrift on the farms, before we can, by
any system of education, make much Of
the rural districts. The old, neglected
school houses viii mock at our Institutes,
Normal Schools, and examinations Of
teachers, until we have families content
ed to live in quiet neighborhoods, little
back from the railroad, aud get rich by
honest industry-slowly, but surely and
take an interest in raising an intelligent
industrious, and honest family Of bows
and girls.
FROM SAMUEL PHELPS, GRAFTON.
In a majority of our school districts
the number of scholars has dwindleC
down to such small numbers that wher
all are collected together, the assembling,
can scarcely be deemed a public school
Here then a train of evils follow. Thi
defect may be remedied in part eitheI
by the consolidation of school district
or by the adoption of the town system.
There is a reluctance exhibited by tb
people respecting the surrender of an
Of. their old municipal rights, but whel
the subject shall have been suficientli
discussed and considered, and our rea
condition scrutinized with a view to fin,
a remedy, am of the opinion that ID
town system will be tried.
