Mr.. Editor: Conformably to the
laws of Vermont, few Town Super
intendents of Essex County convened
at the Court House in Guildhall on
Tuesday the first day of April, 1884,
and determined upon, the questions,
regulations, ETC., for the written exam-
ination of applicants for schools in the
various towns. E. A. Smith of Maid
stone was made chairman, and E. NJ .
Dunbar of Brighton, secretary. The
regulations governing examinations
last year were adopted for this. Ten
questions in each study, Grammar,
Arithmetic, History, and Geography,
were prepared and adopted for the
Spring examination, and the same
number, for Fall examination with
the addition of ten questions in
Physiology and Hygiene. Spring
and Fall examinations will be
held in the various towns of the
County, Saturday, the 10Th day of
April, and Saturday, the 4th of Octo-
Der, respectively. The Convention
decided that all teachers licensed in
the Spring as well as applicants for
schools in the Fall must pass sat
isfactory examination in Physiology
and Hygiene at the Fall examinations.
The secretary was requested to men.
ton the fact in this report that only
five towns were represented.

REMARKS.

We wonder if our readers fully ap-
preciate the last sentence in the above
report! Comfy five towns were repre-
sented." Shame! The statement is a
disgrace to the county. On the first
Tuesday of March, town meeting day.
reports are made of the financial, NOR
al and intellectual welfare of the
towns, and in the town superintend-
ent's report, more often the rule than
| the exception, there is complaint
that parents and others having the
care of those who attend school show
an utter indifference to the cause of
education by refraining from visiting
the schools term after term. No doubt
these remarks are we'll meant but is
it consistent to make them and then
set the example of neglect and indiff-
erence by staying away from con-
vention where all things pertaining to
schools, school discipline, and even the
necessary qualifications for teachers,
should be freely and fully discussed
Gan those absent superintendent have
just cause Of complaint if parents
shun the schools, when they (the SUI
perintendents) shan meeting, auth
orized by law, for the perfecting of our
school system? Parents see that the
work has no general interest for the
Superintendent,-that he evidently
looks upon it with the greatest dis
taste. What inducements are there
for parents to visit the schools, if the
man elected as town superintendent
avoids the very place where his pres
ence is most required, his attendance
being one of the duties for which he
was appointed. This lack of energy,
or call it what you will, is the more
disgraceful when one takes into con-
sideration the fact that travelling ex-
penses and a reasonable compensation
are allowed superintendent for at
tending the convention. We regret
that the report did not name the towns
unrepresented. To sum it all up, all
superintendent who have thus failed
in their duty are sinecures and their
services can well be dispensed with.

to say the least about the matter, is
not particularly appalling matter
to the Republicans of the Territory.
The chances are that that maj GRITTY

basing an opiaion on the class Of
immigration that has taken place
since the last general election, to-
gether with the rapidly growing ir-

Of their labors:
We have been IN session eight
days, and have considered and dis
posed of sixteen cases and have
found nine indictments and ignored
seven charges.
We have examined into the con-
dition of the various public offices;
we find the courthouse a substantial
and good structure; recommend that
for the better safety and keeping of
the public records and papers that
the various vaults be shelved; that
for the security of transacting busi-
ness free from eavesdroppers that
the various offices should be prompt

SPECIAL REPORT.

To the Hon. D. II. Pinney, District
Judge, Second Judicial District of
Arizona:
Your special Grand Jury have
deemed it their duty to investigate
the Office of the Probate Court of
this, Maricopa, county. and the lin
tied time allotted to said exanina-
ton has revealed state of affairs
unsatisfactory TO your Grand Jury,
of which examination tLis is an i'm
| partial report.
We are sorry to say that we think
the office very badly managed its
books and papers incompetenily
kept.
We have particularly examined
into two estates: One where the
testator lett the sum of sixteen
thousand dollars in money; said
money was in banks in San Fran
cisco, nearer testator's heirs than
this county. The estate was not 10
debt, and no claims outside of flu
neral and other minor expenses were
against said estate; that testator
named in his will executors, one re-
siding in San Francisco and the
olher in Phoenix; that the executor
of said will RESTING in Phoenix did
not give full bonds to administer on
the entire estate, but sanctioned the
appointment by said Probate Court
of o-admlnistrator, which we
think was un~arranted by law, and
upon said estate in money after lis
being in possession Of said admin
istraiion for one year and half and
some nearly two years, all that was
allotted to the heirs of said will was
twelve thousand eight hundred and
thirty>four dollars and 76-100. VIII e
the sum Of three thousand TWO hum
dred and eighty aud 24-100 dollars
WAS by the order of said Probate
Court expended in fees to the Court,
fees and percentage to executors,
fees for services to CO. administrator,
attorneys fees and the minor funer>
al expenses herein alluded to; all of
which your Grand Jury deem un>
lawful aud uuwarranted rxtrava>
gauce.
While the other estate examined
by your committee reveals q like
unwarranted aud unlawful extrava-
gance'

matter.
A statement by reliable person
| has been made to the fact that the
keeper eff the asylum where the in
sane of this Territory are sent is an
improper person; that when an in
| sane was delivered to him he was in
an intoxicated condition. We es-
pecsally recommend this to the Su-
pervisors 10 make an inquiry.
We recon mend that the Record
er's books and papers of the Super
visors be placed in vault and not
exposed as they seem to be; that
the old iron cell be sold.
We have examined the various
Offices and found that of Treasurer
and Sheriff well kept, particularly
the latter.
We have received all the assists |
suce from the officers desired; we
find the Sheriff has closely collected |
and promptly paid over the revenues
of the county. aud thst the books
are kept in neat, Intelligent and
correct manner.
The District Attorney has been
prompt in his attention on the
Grand Jury and arduous in bis la
bors; we think between Court and
Grand Jury his labores are two
heavy and we recommend that during
this season of Court aud Grand Jus
ries he ghould be allowed an assists
ant which would facilitate the bus
mess.
siany of the cases submitted for
our consideration were of trivial on
fences, some that should have been
settled by the magistrates court and
some that had scarcely any proof
at ali we suggest greater care in
these cases; they are heavy tax On
he public treasury and none should |
be sent up except there is sufficient
proof of guilt. We desire To- thank
he District Attorney especially for
ais faithful attendance on the Grand
Jury. his polite treatmen of every
mem per of the Grand Jury and the
labor he has so we'll S
performed.
