THE EVENING SESSION.


Chancellor G.. ~ Sims OF Syracuse
university gave his audience Friday at
the Methodist church a rare treat in his
lecture, "Our NeighbOrs-a study of So
ciety." Rev. DR.. SIMS is one of the most
magnetic and able lecturers to whom Bur
lingtouians have the pleasure OF listening,
and his platform efforts are characterized
by beauty of thought and rhetoric, while
the spirit of broad and sympathetic hui
manty pervading them j. not their least
merit We have space for brief abstract
of the lecture only, which, at best, can do
1t but meagre justice.
Chancellor Sims said, our neighbors are
social beings whom nothing could induce
to live alone. And yet the first thing men
do is to build jHilS and fee lawyers To
keep their neighbOrs from picking their
pockets In this nature lies the depart
ment of friendship. The chuncellor's def
milton of Il true friend was, one who would
be as quick to defend Il friend behind his
back as before his face. Now what
are our neighbOrly relations They are
those of similarity which all the social
distinctions do not obiterate. There Is no
difference in us. Ont of our llkenesSeS
grow common experiences and out OF
these should grow great consideration for
one another. Humanity's unlikenesses
were classified as those self-wrought,
and those not self-wrought. The inequali-
ties OF life are imposed by Providence III
order that the especially favored may
share a portion of the overplus with their
less favored brethren. The jewels of life
lie along Il line of self sacrifice.
Prof. II. y. Willard of SaXton's River
concluded the session with an able and
exhaustive paper on The Relations OF
Secondary Schools to Colleges" Starting
out with il comparison of the poor prepare
ton Of the American college student with
that of the German and French, the form
er having nine, and the latter Il SIN
years preparation. he strongly urged
the need of cooperation among college,
in the matter of requirements tor admis
sion, etc, as greatly facilitating the work
of the secondary schools Mr.. Willard
paper was an able one, and nothing but
the pressure of other matter prevents /
more extended notice of it, AT the close
of this paper the association adjourned fol
the afternoon.

pal Leavenworth " of Castleton. who
said his experience had been substantially
the same ass chat Of the previous
speaker. In the last examination at the
CastlctOn Normal school, ont of 81 who
underwent examinations, about half Of
them failed to pass successfully, and many
had been teachers at that. He REINFORCED
Principal Commits idea that the standard
of the common schools should be raised.
ID. j. Foster, who had had some expert
ence, he said, as state Normal school eX-
aminer drew the distinction between nor
NAL and common schools, the former he
ing not so much to educate in the sense in
which the latter did, ~ to teach the stu
dent how to teach and maintained the
position that time was wasted in impart-
ing rudimentary education in normal
schools. Their course is only two years,
and every moment of that time Is too
valuable to be spent in rudimentary work.

Rev. Thomas Burgess of ST. Adams be.
ing absent, superintendent Wheeler Of
this city read his paper. The writer
gave interesting pictures of the condition
of things in the nelghburhood of st. Al
bans, showngI the unattractiVe features
of the district system and the advantages
which the town system would afford The
writer also spoke in strong terms of the
burdens which the district teacher has to
bear and OF the duties of superintendent
toward them. superintendent can do
much in The way of sympathy and advice
to aid discouraged teachers.
Rev. j. X. Fuller of Bakersfield said
that if able ne would disfranchse the
ignorant and vicious in the mat ter of school
supervision The district schools Of Yer
mont are running down in numbers and in
many cases in quality. The compulsory
law is not enforced because its enforce
ment is so near the people There are not
enough good teachers tosupply the schools
so that poor teachers are frequently
licensed, and in some instances teachers
are hired without Il license. The only
remedy for our schools is the town system,
but the difficulty is that the masses are in
different to that system.

The habit of administering quinine in pow
erful doses, as an antidode TO malarial malad-
les, was once dangerously common. Happily
this practice has undergone wide reform.
Not only the public, but professional men
have adopted, not wholly, of course, but large
ly, Hostetter's stomach Btters AS safe boz
tanic substitute for the pernicious alkaloid.
The consequences of this change are most i'm
portant Now fever and ague sufferers are
cured formerlA their complaints were only
for the time relieved, or half cured-the rem
cav eventually failing to produce any appre-
ciuble effect except the doses were increased,
A course OF the Bitters, persistently followed,
breaks up the worst attacks and prevents
their return. The evidence in favor of this
sterling specific and household medicine is of
no ambiguous character, but positive and sat
sfactory, and the sources whence 1t proceeds
are very numerous.

FRIDAYS MEETINGS.
The Town School System-A Committee
Appointed to Present the matter to
the Next Legislature.

A large number of teachers arrived in
town Friday morning and the attend
ance at the meeting of the association was
the largest in its history. The greatest
interest seemed to prevail and the exer-
cises of the day were most profitable
throughout The exhibit of drawings
done by the pupils of the high and gram
mar schools, together with the school
books and apparatus made a very attrac
tive and interesting display, The morn
ing session opened with an interesting
paper on Little things in the School
Room" by Principal A. w. Dana of Barre
While there are many seemingly import
ant matters that go to make a success in
the school room, there are also many
things which though of apparently trivial

the schools, and these are in the practical

The afternoon exercises having refer

Superintendent Fox Holden of the public

Holden's paper were four: First, all
school training ShOnld be in harmony
with the after life of the pupil i'm the
course of tiIe instruction, the aspirations
of the student, and the incentives from
the teacher; second, the exceptional edu-
cation should fit for exceptional callines.

inps: third, the advance in general cdu-
cation has nude academic scholarship less
exceptional; Fourth and consequently we
shall find our academic student. in the
future less in the professions and more in

President Buckham then delivered an
interesting and instructive address ON
what the College has to say to the Fit
ting School" He said that he had it not
in his heart to assail the preparatory
school teachers for deficiency in results,
tor he was aware Of the difficulty Of their
work. The drudgcry Of teaching is in the
lower schools, the luxury Of teaching i'm
the colleges. President Buckham cmpha-
sized the Importance Of tine position OF an
Instructor Of the young. In ENGLAND a
head of II great school ranked prcuuidriiy
ANA socially with the bishops ltcdeplOrcd
the prevailing carcle~sueaS for higher clu-
cation among NermOuters, who OUGHT to
nave more Of the Old New England respect
Tor learning than any other state, since ii
contains the largest proportion of blood of
the puritan strain. The infusion abroad
of this lOjalty to learning lies with Won
teachers. But YOU have also % more inn
pOrtant task, that of caring for the morals
of your pupils. Rarely does college train
ing change the tendencies of young men.
They are made before they yet to college.
President Buckham then spoke of the
courtesy and duty owed to the State Uni
versity, urging greater eXertion in sending
students here.
TIE COMMON SCHOOL SECTION.
The teachers Of grammar schools and
lower met in the afternoon in the High
school room and listened to a dcmoustra-
ton of the methods Of teaching number,
by class Of 20 under the supervision OF
Miss Bliss of st. Adams. The exercise
was illustrated with blocks and other OBJ
iects and blackboard work, and the chill
dren reflected great credit upon them
selves and their teacher
Miss f. j. Chapman, principal of the
PomerOy intermediate school, gave an cX-
hlhiton with her c.aCS in reading, show
ing the same work that can be seen any
dayat her school. The exercise included
"A vocal drill with brief recitations and
showed careful drill. The exhibition was
highly interesting. There was also a
musical exhibition, displaying the meth
ODDS OF musical instruction in the city
schools, of which Prof. y. II. Thompson
had charge. The work done, and eSpe-
cally the manner in which 1t WAS done,
received many ilattering compliments.

SATURDAYS MEETINGS.
Officers Elected for the Ensuing Year
Resolutions Relating to National
Temperance Bill and the Town Sys-
TEN of Schools-List of Papers.

The annual meeting of the State Teach
ers association which opened in this city
last Thursday closed Saturday noon after
Il most interesting and valuable series of
sessions. The attendance was surprising
ly large, including many prominent edu-
Gators not only of Vermont but number
from adjoining States as well. The inter
est that prevailed throughout the meet
ing was good. The papers were of high
order of merit and the discussions which
followed them We're TO the point and inter
esting. Ii was noted with pleasure by
many that the various papers were almost
entirely outside of the old rut of abstract
theorization and the discussions as Il
whole were characterized by elements of
practically and progression such as have
been noticed ut no previous meeting of
the association. 1t was the general testi-
mony alike of superintendent and teach
ers that the present was the most valua-
Bile meeting yet held by the organization.
The session Saturday forenoon opened
with the annual business meeting.
