Much stress has been laid 10y Lord Sack
vile and his apologists upon the fact that
this was a private letter. That, 50 far from
palliating, has only aggravated the offence.
Had Lord Sackvile written private letter
To his wife or tn some friend IN England
in regard to American politics, ne
have been called into account with respect
TO it. But when he wrote to an American
citizen upon the political issues Of pend
ing Presidential election, he committed a
breach of the privilege of hospitality and of
diplomatic decency. There can he nothing
private about such letter 1t belonged
TO the American public from the moment it
left the hands of its author. Suppose Min
ister Phelps, in England. should write to
some home rule member in the House of
Commons upon political questions now un-
der consideration in the British parliament.

marked "private" mitigate its character as

TLfE SCITOOL BILL.


from our DummelStOn correspondent
We are indebted to Representative Adm
F. Miller for a printed copy Of the school
bill reported by the educational commits
sion and now before the legislature as
House bill No. 3. It is well 10 revise the
existing school laws and make additional
provisions for better instruction in the
schools Of this state Good school laws,
good instruction and good supervision Of
the schools are necessary. With a few
much needed changes in the existing school
laws, what prevents the district schools
from reaching the standard so much to be
desired The schools of Bratteboro viii
lage and other centres of population have
reached high standard Of excellence un-
der the present system of school laws.
What hiuders the ungraded schools from
reaching good standard under the same
system Of laws Many Of the district
schools have now reached good condition,
having had the right teacher in the right
place but far too many have fallen below
what they ought to have been. What has
been the cause of the failure Was it some
needed changes in the school laws Was
it bad supervision on the part Of town su-
perintendents Was it incompetent teach
ers Was it for want of interest on the
part Of parents and committees M,.s oe
it was all Of these combined. 1t is infer
red, however, from the commissioners re-
port that one cause of failure is because
there was not sufficient money expended
for school purposes. Town supervision of
schools was worth only 80 a day and ex-
penses out. County supervision il valued

er. 1t is true that many incompet6fG
teachers are employed in the schools and
1t is true that there is a lack of interest on
the part of many parents and committees
to improve the opportunities now offered
for the good of the schools. We do not
think that town superintendents have been
remiss in the discharge of their duties to
any extent, although compensation was
small and controlling power quite limited
So far as advisory measures are important
their duty has been rightly performed, as
may be shown by their written and print
ed reports. But TO what extent have their
suggestions been needed The annual re
port is expected as surely as a new alma
nae, and like a new almanac is perused
and then consigned TO the waste basket
Suggestions have been made, based on
facts, within the capacity of every district
to fulfil, and often they are no more needed
than the marginal notes of an old almanac
relative to sunshine, cloud, rain, etc.
they are seldom adopted as a rule of ac
ton, but very soon consigned to oblivion,
never to be raked up again, save by anoth-
er bombshell in the shape of an annual re
port and considering the amount of re
form AN annual report effects, one would
suffice for hundred years, and the schools
grow poorer all the time D. IN

Robert Bonner told a Mail and Express
reporter three or four years ago that the
Ledger could be run for five years on the
manuscripts then paid for and slowed away
in his safes without the purchase of anoth-
er line. Still, he is constantly buying, and
by this time is doubtless eight or ten years
ahead. The Century and Harper's Maya
zine, it is claimed, could be published for
fifteen years on matter already accepted.
A sensational story paper inferior to the
Ledger claims to have on hand serials
enough for ten years TO come. And the
story is the same in all periodical publica-
tions where matter is allowed to accumu
late. Yet the avalanche of words poured
forth by the victims of cdcoethes scIribcndi

publication through sympathy with their
