it not insure the prevalence Of idieness
and disobedience and impertinence
among children? The usual recon-
incubation for the cure Of this is given
thus: Get a smart teacher and
tell hin to make 'em mind and il they
don't mind, turn them out of school.
There are cases when this summary
treatment may be the only course, but
they ought to be rare. The teacher
should not be required to assert the
authority of despot, and we do not
wish to turn any scholars out of
school. II is better on some accounts
that bad children should be retained,
if possible, and taught better habits.
The boy who is dismissed or taken
from school, almost always becomes
an idler. He will also corrupt others
when out of school, if he can, or, if
they avoid him, he will be tempted to
hatred and revenge. In either case
he grows worse, becoming vicious or
passionate. Dismission should be the
last resort, because it very seldom Sc
cures reform. On the contrary, the
determination of the inhabitants of a
district to sustain their teacher in firm
and well directed measures, to secure
puctuality, good manners, regular and
thorough study, will invariably mark
a rapid and sanitary reform among
the idle and evil minded. We COM
mend these subjects to the candid con-
sideration of all interested in the pros
penty of our district schools. To pru-
dental committees it may be well to
suggest that they would often avoid
trouble and expense, if the qualifca-
tons of those who propose to teach,
should be carefully ascertained before
any contracts are made for this SER
vice. In most cases, teachers come
to be examined just as the school is
about to commence; and, in fact, this
year, quite a number have omitted
procuring a certificate of their quail
fications until long after they had
opened their schools. 1t is then too
late for them to correct their faults or
to supply their deficiencies, and bet
ter instructors cannot readily be OBJ
tanned. By comforting with the Super
at an early day, these diff
cultics might be avoided and good
teachers more uniformly secured. No
contract should be closed until he pre-
sents Il certificate ofhis qualifications"

is, it is true, Lieutenant Governor at

he hardly felt at liberty to refuse it.
He was president pro TEN Of the SEN
ate of 1874, and his courteous and oblig-
ing manners so won the esteem of all,
that, when Col. Clarke of the st. Adams
Messenger, then i'm the Senate, in a
pleasant rhyme deli vered at the close
of the session, nominated him for
Lieut.. Gov. in &c, it seemed as though
the sentiment found a lOdgment in ev-
ry breast, and when the time came, not
a name was mentioned prominently
for the Office, saveProctor's and his mod
esty, for if there is a public man of
unassuning modesty in Vermont it is
Proctor, would not allow him to de-
cline. His friends urged upon him at
the time, the wrong he was doing him
self in allowing his name to be used
as Lieut.. Gov, assuring him that he
was wanted for Governor in '78, to
which-hi reply was that he didn't feel
at liberty to decline a nomination
which seemed to be rendered with such
cordially and unanimity. Entirely
unsought, on the contrary accepted as
a duty regardless Of the protestations
of his friends, we much mistake the
temper Of the Republicans of Vermont
if they allow his election to the office
of Lieut.. Governor, under such cir
to in any way interfere
with their desire that he now go up
higher, should it be found, as we be-
lieve it will, that he would otherwise be
the choice of the majority.

EDMUND DIS.
EDMUND HUDSON's WASHINGTON LETTER
TO BOSTON HERALD.

EDMUND HUDsON's WASHINGTON LETTER
TO BOSTON HERALD.
Edmunds of Vermont, the strongest
head in either branch ofCongress, stand
ing with his thumb over his left shout
der, pointing scornfully at Josiah Cald-
wells senator, and telling him to sit
down, is, perhaps, as good scene as
Congress has afforded this winter.
Mr.. CaldwelPs man was trying to de-
magogue it little on the silver ques-
ton, and Edmunds snapped him up
beautifully, and absolutely suppressed
him. The bumptious manner and tur-
bulent speech of this senatorial bene-
ficiary of the expatriated Caldwell
avail nothing against the self-posses-
sion and the sarcasm of the incorrigi-
BILE Edmunds, who was never vet
worsted in debate, and probably never
will be. The best men in the Senate
knew him too well to have any words
with him. | do not recollect any pas
sage at arms between Edmunds and
Conkling, and yet they are not espec-
ial friends, and, believe, are not
much in sympathy. Conkling never
treads on the toes of the Vermont
senator, and, as the latter rarely goes
out of his way to attack anybody, he
does not have any trouble with the New
Yorker. The steady growth of the
power and influence of Senator Ed
munds is one of the few gratifying
things that are noticeable nowadays in
Congress. Whether or not he be the
ablest man in Congress-as l think
him to be-he is certainly the ablest
legislator, and exerts an influence
which makes him a much greater man
than the country knows him to be.
Whatever power he has gained is his
by the purest of titles. If he knows
any of the arts of popularity, he does
not cultivate them. A newspaper puff
of Edmunds of Vermont never gets it.
self written by his connivance. could
pick out hundred men in Congress
to-day whose collective wisdom and
usefulness does not equal that of this
man from the Green mountains. He
is standing protest in the Senate
against cant and fraud and hypocrisy
and woe to the adventurous Antagonist
who attempts to bulldoze him.
