The Second District.

The active canvass in the Second Con
gressional District for Il successor to Con
gresham Poland closes with the nomna-
ton of Gen. GrOut This result was cN-
pccted by us. as our readers know. and the
choice is one which we think will commend
itself to the calm judgment of the majority
of the people. Against the ability and
truStWorthincss of Gen. CIRCUITS compct-
tors not Il word can be said. but il is an in
diSputablc fact that he can render his
constituents better service than cuNld any
of them. from the simple fact that he has
had two years experience in CoiSrcss. 1t
takes Il congressman .prctty much his
whole first term to learn the ropes
and when one has thus acquired his
Legislative education it is sound policy to
continue him in Office, Gen. Circuit took
an excellent stand and made an honorable
record during his term of service: and
his course then is ample guaranty that he
will creditably and satisfactorily represent
his District and State in the next Congress.
The convention was marked by consider
able excitement and it took eight ballots
to decide the question but Gen Grout ;
lead was IA decided one from the start and
us no combination of the votes cast for his
competitors could be effected against him
his nomination was merely matter OF
time. The result was cheerfully accepted
by all, and the convention adjourned in
excellent feeling Gen. Grout will of course
be elected by anywhere from eleven t.
thirteen thousand majority.

Vermont school Statistics

Hon. JuStus Dartt State Superintend-
ent of Education, has issued his annual
statistical report, covering the year ended
March 3lst, 1854, and highly interesting
report il is. There are in the State, il
seems, 229O school districts and 255O
schools, decrease of three schools since
1888; and the average number of days of
school in the year was only l27 The
number of pupils enrolled shows small

1900 in 1882; and 13,2S3 in 1854 This
shows Il decrease of 3i99 pupils in the five
years lS19-lSS4-a diminution which can
hardly he termed encouraging. There is
Il large decrease in the number of male
teachers. There We're G1s in 1851 G53 in
1882; $50 in 1883 and $40 in 1851 The
number of female teachers remains about
the same. For the present year it is 3123
Of teachers who have attended a Vermont
Normal school, the number grows
smaller every year, In 1851 it was $40
