One Phase of the School Question.

The demand which educators have of late
years been making for recognition as dis
tinctively professional workers takes its
life from the rapid progress which has been
made both in the philosophy and practice
of education. The theory of education,
as now understood, together with the obliga-
tions which the necessities of the times have
placed upon its practice, have induced a
struggle on the part of teachers to harmon
ize two opposing and irreconcilabe de-
mands. The store of what must be taught
in old studies has constantly increased.
New studies manual training, drawing,
music, civil government, the effects of al
cohol upon the human system and the like
have been added as further classes of study.
Every one of these studies is undoubtedly
entitled to the most respectful attention,
and, barring the considerations, would with
all propriety take its place in the public
curriculum But the teacher has been
asked, without consultation as to advisa-
bility, without any displacement of the old
by the new, to accept these recurring an
nexations and find both place and time for
their proper utilization. Time, however,
is with all men and in all work a fixed
quantity, subject to no law of decrease or
increase; and the problem, as yet not salts
factorily answered, is that of assigning to
each of the many studies its proper time
value in practice. To make matters worse
there is added constant pressure from pa
N
shorter hours, attention to physical culture,
while the educational centers continue to
raise their standard of admission from grade
to grade and school to school The teacher,
meantime, maintains this unequal struggle
between the "upper and neither mill
stones 4" of shorter school hours and added
requirements This condition of affairs
must reach its climax very early; for it is
without question absurd, unnatural and
unjust. The people of the state, through
their commission on education have a great,
important, difficult question to consider
when their next general convention is
holden. The newly named governor, w. Z.
Dillingham;, spoke wisely and hopefully on
this question when he made it one of the
strong and important sections in his speech
of acceptance before the late state conven-
ton. We commend its consideration and
his advice to the grave and prudent study of
the people whom it most nearly touches and
concerns. PETER KUIPER.

High Price of School Books.

Complaint is frequently made that
the price of school-books is exor-
bitantly high. This matter was brought
before the Iowa legislature recently
and an effort was made to secure re-
duction proportionate to the price of
other books, but the combine in
that state managed to defeat the meas
ure. 1t would be well for the school
commission in this state to investigate
this matter and report to the coming
legislature, with recommendations In
this connection we print the following

Ne,o- Yorker;

if the Vermonter is to be merged polit-
icaly in the WATCHMAN, which is well,
you should issue new paper purely
agricultural, which could be given a
wide circulation all over the country, If
rightly managed and well advertised.
Vermont is famous for several special
ties, and men interested in these all
over the continent would feel almost
obliged to take paper which was a
true exponent of our dairy and stock
interests" This matter is open for
consideration. AS we have already ex-
planned, the suspension of publication
of the Vermonter, temporarily at least,
is rendered necessary by the INSULT
cheney of the mechanical equipment of
the WATCHMAN establishment, which
is already printing three papers. In
course of time this difficulty can be re-
moved, and if it shall then appear that
a purely agricultural paper can, with
reasonable enterprise, be given wide
and paying circulation, that the farmers
of Vermont will adequately sustain
such a paper, the Vermonter may be
revived as a distinctively agricultural
paper, and a representative also of the
states industrial interests generally.

IT has been generally noticed that Gen.
eral Lew Wallace, the author of Ben Hur is
to write the biography of Ben Harrison. 1t
is certainly an suspicious circumstance that
the campaign biography of such political
leader is to have such an author. What
such work can do for the success of the
presidential canvass will certainly be done
by this one, the result of happy combna-
ton of circumstances. General Wallace,
besides being the author of works deserv-
eddy popular, is one of General Harrison's
lifelong friends and also a distinguished
soldier and trained statesman. These two
qualifications insure superb character
sketch and an adequate presentation of
General Harrisons distinguished abilities.
This work is to be completed in August, and
then published by Hubbard Brothers of
Philadelphia.

THE Iowa railroad commission, re-
Gently created with powers to fix rates,
discovered that the railroads were using
cut rates to favor certain shippers at the
expense of the public. The commission
managed to get hold of one of the
lowest of these cut rates and has made
it obligatory on the company for all
freight. The officers of the road are
terribly indignant and say the COM
pany will be ruined. Possibly it may
lose some money, but its experience
will be worth all it will have cost. The
state can not afford to allow discrim-
ination against any of its citizens by
the corporations it has created. Next
time this Iowa railroad is tempted to
favor anybody its officers will consider
how it would work to let every other
shipper in on the same terms. Why
not give the commission in this state
similar powers?

A Question of Health.
WHAT BAKING POWDER SHALL WE U.

WHAT BAKING POWDER SHALL WE USE?
This plain question comes home to every
housekeeper. We all desire pure and whole
some food, and this can not be had with the
use of impure or poisonous baking powder
There can be no longer a question that all
the cheaper, lower grades of baking powders
contain either alum, lime or phosphate acid.
AS loath as we may be to admit so much
against what may have been some OF our
household gods, there can be no gainsaying
the unanimous testimony of the official
chemists. Indeed, analysts seem to find no
baking powder entirely free from some one
of these Objectionable ingredients except
the Royal, and that they report as chemi-
cally pure We find some of the baking
powders advertised as pure to contain,
under the tests of Professors Chandler,
Habirshaw and others, nearly twelve per
cent of lime, while others are made from
alum, with no cream of tartar. This, we
presume, accounts for their lack OF leaven-
ing power, as sometimes complained of by
the cook, and for the bitter taste found in
the biscuits so frequently complained of by
ourselves. But aside from the inferiority of
the work done by these powders, the physi-
clans assure us that lime and alum taken
into the system in such quantities as this are
| injurious. Their physiological effects are
indigestion, dyspepsia, or worse evils. The
question naturally arises, Why do these
cheap baking powder makers nse these
lHlISS ALUM Is IuTtb CENTS d pOuHtl, Iiillc
still cheaper, while cream of tartar costs
thirty-ive or forty. The reasons for the
chemical purity of the Royal Baking Pow
der were recently given in the New York
Times, in an interesting description of new
method for refining argols or crude cream of
tartar. 1t seems that it is only under this
process that cream of tartar can be freed
from the lime natural to it and rendered
chemically pure; that the patents and plant
for this cost the Royal Baking Powder Com
pany about half million dollars, and that
! they maintain exclusive control of the
rights. Professor McMurtrie, late chief
chemist of the department of agriculture at
| Washington, ID. c., made an examination
of this process, and reported upon the result
attained in the refined cream of tartar. The
| following extract from his report would
| seem to answer the question repeated at the
| head of this article, and which is so fire.
quently propounded by the housekeeper
" have examined the cream of tartar used
by the Royal Baking Powder Company in
the manufacture of their baking powder
and find it to be perfectly pure and free from
! lime in any form. The chemical tests to
which have submitted the Royal Baking
Powder prove it perfectly healthful and free
from every deleterious substance. The
Royal Baking Powder is purest in quality
and highest in strength of any baking
powder of which have knowledge"

First District Convention.

The convention of the first congressional
district was held at Rutland last week
Tuesday. Two hundred delegates were
present. Judge ID. Il. Nicholson was elected
chairman unanimously, amid great applause
and was introduced as the first chairman
who ever presided over a republican con-
vention, which event occurred in Rutland
June 7, 1884. Judge Nicholson, in feeling
terms, thanked the convention for the honor,
gave the history of the formation of the re-
publican party and claimed the honor of
naming the party when chairman of the
convention June I, 1854. NJ, w. Wilson
of Bristol was chosen secretary and eX-
Governor Barstow of Shelburne, vice-presi-
dent of the convention. For member of
congress, j. NJ. Slade of Middlebury pre-
sented the name of Hon. j. W. Stewart of
Middlebury. He was seconded by the dele
CATION from each county in the district and
unanimously nominated. For presidential
elector, ID, j, Stafford of Morrisville and C..
s. Forbes of st. Adams were put in nom
ination, and the ballot which followed re-
suited in the nomination of ID. j, Stafford.

The Free Whiskey Cry.

1t is vital to the interests which are
secured by protection that the protect
i've system should be preserved. 1t is
not vital to the interests of temperance
that the internal revenue system should
be preserved. AS matter of fact, the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
the third party, and many leading tenn
perance republicans Mrs. J. Ellen
Foster asked the platform committee
to sweep away the internal revenue
system) believe this policy to be the
true temperance policy. We have dis
agreed with them for the reason that we
believe the tax to be check on the
traffic. How great a check it is we do
not know; but, whatever its restrictive
power, it is manifestly not permanent
principle of temperance reform, but
only temporary eXpedient. AS such
we want it to stand until it has served
its purpose and is superseded by some
thing better, or until it can no longer
be retained without sacrificing a part
of the protective system. AS no tenn
perance advocate claims that national
taxation is the only true and effective
or even that it is the best, method of
promoting the cause, it is absurd to
make all this hue and cry about the re-
publican party declaring for free
whiskey. The platform of the repub-
lican party is more than thirty states,
and the legislation, restrictive and pro.
hibitive, it has secured, are standing
proof of its policy respecting free
whiskey.-NeC York Independent.
