A Remarkable Growth.

The Minneapolis Tribune is sold for
five cents, but the New Years number
is worth "a hundred thousand dollars to
the growth and prosperity of that city.
1t is a twenty-fOur page edition giving
a full history of the marvellous growth
of that city and it's industry and i'm
prOvements for the past year. New
buildings were erected to- the number
of 2l65, costing 81, I64, 500, against
35lS, costing so, 533, 900, in 1853. The
real estate transfers amounted to S2I, =
O76, :359 against 500 ,977 sos in the pre-
vOus year The clearings amounted
to $40, 556 $40, against So ,56S 900 for
1883 gain of about p per cent. Job
bers' sales were $I37 $50, 4G2 in 1854,
against SIS, Doc, 575 in 1883. OF the
two great interests. the Touring mills
turned out 5,9SO, 2O2 barrels of flour in
1884 against 4,52O,65 in 1883. The
daily capacity of the mills now in OPP
Grafton is about 81. 400 barrels, and this
is to he increased to something like
81 900 by the immediate equipment of
another mill. The lumber cut of the
year is 300, 724 ,}73 feet, as against pa, =
Glib, $50 in ISS3. The Increase of the
population for the year is estimated at
about 10000.

prentice once learned everything in
the line of news and job printing, from
making roller TO making mp an eight
page form-frGm working hand
press to getting book form ready on
stop cylinder. Now enc set of hands
set the type for the newspaper, another
make up these forms, and still another
do the press work, while the rollers
are made in Boston.
The result of this change is most
detrimental to the boys. There is
really nothing for boys to do. Parents
are at loss what TO do with them ; no
one wants boy to work at IA mans
wages, consequently they grow mp in
idleness. 1t is as true now as ever
that the devil finds mischief for idle
hands to do, and very many bright, tai
ented boys go to the bad simply be-
cause they have no regular, steady
employment. The man who inaugu-
rates apprenticeships again and makes
it possible for young men to learn good
trades and get employment at them
when learned, will save more boys
from ruin than all the missionary so
cieties and Christian associations in
this land, and yet we believe in both
these things most heartily.

The Letter Tripped Them.

The interest in PresideDt-electC leve-
lands letter Oh civil service reform
printed in last weeks Caledouian- in
creased rapidly after the first day or
two of its appearance. Whether 1t
means much or little we do not pro
pose to discuss here; time will tell.
But some ludicrous, not to say ridlcu-
lous things have appeared in connec-
ton with it, chief among which may
he mentioned the attempt of the New
York Tribune and New York Sun to
ignore il altogether. When these great
metropolitan dailies found that all the
world was reading the letter and com
menting upon it, they both "braced
up and gave it To their readers after
all the other dailics had printed it.
The Tribune wisely kept silent about
it's omission, but the Sun undertook to
account for it's non appearance saying
that it was "only through an accident
that Mr. Cleveland's letter was not
published on Tuesday" The copy was
lost from the assistant editors desk,
"either by some person taking 1t. or
by the wind blowing it away, or the
office cat eating it up"
BY and by both great and small pa
pers will understand that the public
want to know the news, aud facts
about current affairs, whether said
facts agree with their preconceived
ideas or not. Reading people want
newspapers, not organs.

Note and Comment.

1t looks as though Logan would be
elected senator by the Illinois legisla-
ture. If Evarts is elected in New York,
as some predict, it will keep up the av-
erage.
Walter Allen, editor of the Portland
Press, has accepted the position as ed
itor- chief of the Boston Advertiser.
Mr.. Allen would not make the Press
treason.
Miss Kate Fields lecture on Nor
monism is attracting much attention
and is very highly spoken of. Miss
Field is an educated lady, and has
achieved name as a literary woman,
her articles to the newspapers and
magazines being abundant and able.
Her latest and greatest work is per
sonal investigation of MOrmonism on
the ground. Its nature, extent and
tendencies, rs set forth by her, are
most startling.
The people of Dakota are much eX-
ercised about the removal of the CAPT
tai from YanktOn to Bismarck and
there is talk of an attempt to relocate.
No one wishes to see Gen. Grant
want for any of the comforts of life and
so it is pleasant to learn that G.. w
Chids of Philadelphia has secured the
: 100. 600 necessary to cancel his debt to
Mr.. Vanderbilt.
Fhe heart of the people will sympa-
thize with Gen. Hancock i'll the death
of his only son. Gen. Hancock's only
daughter died ten years ago, and he is
now childless.
1t is noted rs an evidence of the hos
tility of MOrmonism to the prosperity
of this nation that Utah is the only ter
ritory unrepresented at the New Or
leans exposition.

years.

The Rum Demon has been unusually
active in Vermont the past week or
two. A young mana mere boy in
fact-at Jericho, goes to a new years
dance, gets intoxicated, awakes in the
morning filled with remorse, and goes
into his fathers store and shoots him
self. Another young man, at MOhtpe-
lier, son Of worthy parents, drank to
excess, became morose and Respondent,
and took his own life. The man now
lying at Barton Landing, with one
foot, one eye and no hands, was the
victim of drink, and all the calamity
that has come to this unfortunate man
is directly traceable to drink. Isn't it
time that the prejudice against tenn
perance effort should give way, and
that all good men and women unite IN
a determination to drive this demon
from the land

Paupers and Skating Kinks.

Mr. Editor: The communication in
yOur paper of December 25th, signed
"Humanity," was a suitable rebuke to
such unjust legislation against the
dead but | would like to ask "Human-
ity" if he has nothing to say in res lard
to the rights of the living as well as
the dead ? Take for example Act No.
81, passed the last session, the first
section of which is as follow:
No. 3l.-An act to prevent the de-
moraliZation of schools.
IL is hereby enacted, etc:
SEC. /. The prudential committee,
school commissioners, trustees of any
graded school. or Il majority thereof, of
one school district, or directors OF
schools or majority thereof, i'll towns
having the town system of schools,
within this state may, 10y notice in
writing delivered to any proprietor or
manager of a roller skating rink or
place used for the purpose of roller
skating, forbid the attendance at such
roller skating rink or place used for
that purpose, of any person who shall
b. member of the public school of
such school district. And the princi-
pal of any academy, or trustee, of any
normal school within this state. may in
like manner forbid the attendance of
any person who shall be a member of
such academy or normal school at any
such roller skating rink or place used
for the purpose of roller skating.
The second section provides the pen
atty il person is subject to who runs II
skating rink if he admits school
scholar to his place.
Has the time come when n parent
has no right to control his children in
their social amusements, and school
committees, etc, are the only persons
who should have them in charge? In
the case of the pauper he can request
to be buried and thus save himself
from the dissecting table or his
friends can claim the body and take it
away and so only those who forget
TO request to be buried or are ignOr-
ant of the law, stand a chance of being
taken to the dissecting table. But in
the case of the live child the parent
has no voice in the matter whatever,
it is all in the hand of the school com
mittee. Have the people of Vermont
got SO low and degraded that it is nee
essary for the Legislature to step in
and regulate their social amusements ?
| think not, and believe that parents
are yet capable of managing those Of
fees themselves us far as public school
scholars are concerned. Academies and
such institutions are law unto them
selves, and need no such legislation.
An academy makes and enfOrces any
regulations about.its school it pleases,
vested rights.

State Teachers in Council.

The sessions of the State Teachers
Association were begun at Montpclie
| Thursday afternoon, with about on,
hundred teachers and other interested
persons in attendance. President G.. A
| Bunker called the meeting to order anC
introduced Rev II. p. Frost, who deliv
cred an address of welcome. The Presi
dent followed in brief address. Prin
cipal John Packard of the Ludlow
school, addressed the teachers on til,
subject of "Reading," giving his ex,
perienee with pupils in that brancl
and suggesting many excellent meth
DDS by which to attain the best ends OF
what he termed the most important q
the common school studies.
The subject of an address by A. w
Dana, principal of Goddard seminary
of Barre, was "Wasted Powers" il
which the fact that not only do people
entertain erroneous ideas of the rel
alive importance of studies, but tina
bOokmakers themselves have the same
fault, was clearly demonstrated. He
claimed that time and energy had beer
wasted on grammar, arithmetic anC
geography for years. hut he hoped fol
an early correction of this and JUS
division of the students powers be
tween these studies and many Others
now acknowledged their equals, such
us physiology, drawing, civil govern
ment, etc,
In the afternoon some very interest
ing exhibitions of class work were Civ
en- by Miss Thompson and a class OF
young pupils from Mortified, and by
Miss Chamberlin with "a similar class
of Montpelier
Class work illustration was novel
feature and was much better appreci
ated, giving perhaps Al better idea OF
tie hest methods of teaching than
could he given in any other way.
At the Thursday evening session IN
address was delivered by President S.
{. Bartlett of Dartmouth college, his
subject being, "What the Spade has
done for Human History"
Friday morning there was Il ram
bling discussion of methods of teaching
grammar, from which it was apparent
that all favored the system of Reed and
Kellogg's grammar. This was follow
ed by iaudable effort on the part OF
Mrs. K. G.. Greene of st. Adams to get
mp an interest in the study of ''Tem
perance Physiology" In the after
noon a very interesting class exercise
was given by Miss Alice II. Burt and
her pupils of Burlington. Mr.. n. IL.
Thompson followed with an illustra-
ton of class work in music, advancing
many excellent ideas
On Friday evening an address was
delivered by Charles F. King of the
Lewis school, Boston, upon Figures
and Eyes"
Resolutions were adopted favOring
the idea of free text books and the
town system of schools and expressing
gratitude for what little the last legis-
lature did for them.
The following officers of the assOcia-
ton were elected for the ensuing year:
President, b. F. Brigham of Brattle-
bOro; secretary, }. NJ. Hit of North
field; treasurer, John Pickard of Ind
low; executive committee, S. w. Ian
don, Burlington, G. C.. Cove, New Ha-
ven, E. A. Bishop, Montpelier. Four
teen vice presidents were elected. The

How to Save the Boys.

There is a brief article printed on
the second page of this paper which is
of more importance than some imagine,
and accounts in a large measure for
the shiftlessneSs If not the rowdyism
and crime of the later generation. This
is "The advantage of learning trade"
Since the present publisher has print
ell The Caledonian, there has been an
entire revolution in this matter. For
the first ten years of his connection
with it, all the work was done by ap-
prentices excepting few weeks OF
months at the expiration of the APP
til he found work elsewhere. This
method of apprenticeship was general
throughout this town and the country
generally. The scale shops were full
of young men learning tn be machin-
lists and mOulders. The Paddock viii
lage shops all employed apprentices,
a. did the harness makers and shoe
makers.
Now this is all changed here as well
as elsewhere. 1t is rare event now
to find a boy learning trade. Me
chanical works will not employ them,
and few American boys have the per
severance to give three Or four years
time To become master of trade.
Most work is now so divided and clas-
sified that there is no opportunity for
a workman TO do more than one thing !;
and what encouragement is there for a
Young man To become master of the
macLinist trade If his entire life is TO
be spent tending drills The same is
true in other trades. A printers APP
