THE NEW SCHOOL LAW.

We wish to call attention to some OF
the more prominent provisions of the
new school law. The law itself is a
very lengthy affair, but much of it re-
Iates to details of the new school sys-
tenn. The law provides for superin-
tendent of education TO be chosen by
the general assembly whose salary shall
be 81, 900 annually and an allowance
of sum not exceeding 5000 for incl
dental expenses, and whose duties al
though more clearly defned,a not es-
sentially different from those OF the
same officer under the old system. At
the annual town meeting in each town
one person shall be chosento be men,
ber of county board of education.-
This board shall have oversight of The
schools in the county, shall determine
as TO the textbooks to be used, and on
the first Tuesday Of next May and on.
the first Tuesday of May of every Sec
ond year thereafter shall choose a SUI
pervisor of schools who shall be resi-
dent of the county during his term of
office, and who shall give his whole at
tention TO the supervision of the schools
of the county in which he holds office.
The salary is fixed by statute varying
in the different counties, and provision
is also made for assistants in the large
counties. The salary in most of the
counties is $1,000 and an allowance for
incidental expenses not to exceed one
fourth of the annual salary. The du-
ties of the county supervisor are of a
nature similar to those of town super
intendents, with enlargements and va
riations. Teachers not holding certif-
Gates from the normal schools or from
any other source, valid throughout the
state. must obtain them from the coun-
ty supervisor at a public examination
of teachers to be held by him at certain
specified times and places, except in
certain cases specially provided. Ger
tifcates are Of three grades. The first
grade is granted only to those who have
taught full forty weeks and is good for
FIVE years. The second grade is grant
ed after twelve weeks service and is
good for two years. The third grade
is good for specified time not exceed
ng one year and may be limited to a
particular school. No certificate shall

matter are not essentially different from
those that now exist. Chap. provides
for the organization of school districts,
the appointment of officers, etc. The
annual school meeting shall be held in
each district on the last Tuesday in
June in each year, and the school year
shall begin with the first day of July
and end with the last day of June. Wo-
men shall have the same right as men
to vote in school meetings and in the
election of school officers in towns and
cities. Towns may at an annual meet
ing vote to establish town central
school for the free instruction of the
advanced pupils of the town. Any
town which has abolished the district
system and adopted the town system,
may, at the annual town meeting in
March, 1889, and at any fifth annual
town meeting thereafter, abolish its
town system of schools by vote of the
majority Of the legal voters of the town
present, and the selectmen shall insert
an article in the warning to that effect
upon the application of ten legal voters.
Towns that retain :he town system will
carry on their schools essentially as at
present, except in the matter of grant
ing certificates and general supervision.
The process of adjustment where a
change is made is essentially as at pres
ent. No provision is made for town
to change from the district to the town
system. The term school age is made
to include all children between FIVE and
eighteen years Of age, and no children
under five years of age can be admitted
to the public schools except upon GER
tain conditions which the law specifies.
Every person who has the control of ~
sound child between the ages Of eight
and fourteen years shall cause that
child to attend public school at least
twenty weeks in the year, or shall 9TH
erwise furnish it the means of educa-
lion for like amount of time. Other
regulations regarding compulsory at
tendance are made and penalties for
neglect are affixed. This part of the.
law is an improvement upon similar
provisions in the old law. Each dis
trict is required to maintain school
for twenty-four weeks at least. The
county board of education snail in the
year 1890 and every fifth year thereaf-
Ter select the textbooks for the county,
and hygiene textbooks are
exempted from this selection the first
lime choice is made Needy child
ren may be supplied with textbooks at
the public expense. Towns or districts
may buy textbooks and hold them for
The use of the schools. Space viii per-
nit us to call attention to only few
points. The principal changes are in
ihe matter of supervision. Whether
the law will be generally acceptable re-
mains to be seen. We hope ii will have
4 fair trial.

The people of Chicago are evidently
not through with the anarchists. The
anarchist fires are smouldering, and
now and then they break out sufficient
ly to show where the deadly element is
lurking. The police are determined to
prevent any outward demonstrations to
fan the flame, and as much as possible
those gatherings where they meet to
keep up their enthusiasm and plot mis-
chiet The worst feature about the
anarchist business is the Sunday in
struction of children in imitation of
Christian Sunday Schools, though the
deadly foes of Christianity. They are
preparing a dangerous class to let loose
upon society. If these could be pre-
vented it might save trouble hereafter.
We tolerate almost everything in this
country, but safety requires that we
draw line somewhere. We had bet
ter begin by taking the anarchists. by
the throat and choking them down.

The bill to elect postmasters by the
people seems to be the right thing.
The following from the Woodstock
Standards "Gen. Grout received a
good endorsement at the hands of the
legislature for the election Of postmas-
tiers by the people, joint resolution
having been adopted the last night of
the session asking our congressman to
favor the bill. 1t is long time since
we have seen a statement of the scope
Of this bin but our impression is that
it does not apply to first class offices,
which embrace most of the cities, and
perhaps not offices Of the second class,
in which are Burlington, Rutland and
several of the large towns of the state.
1t does apply to all below these grades
and so is entirely practicable, to say
the least, and ought to prove satisfac-
tory to the greatest number. The
management OF the postoffice is a mat
ter of everyday interest to everybody
and it isn't to be supposed that if called
upon to vote the people would elect
man unsuitable for the place and the
business. To serve aeceptably a per-
son should be active, quick of percep-
lion, accurate in detail, courteous in
address, and he should possess long

A foul murder was committed in the
city of Birmingham, Ala. the other
day. The supposed murderer was safe
ly lodged in Jail. A mob undertook to
take the prisoner out of the hands of
the officers. The sheriff turned a Cat
ling upon the mob. The prisoner was
not lynched, but ten of the mob were
killed and thirty wounded. The un-
fortunate thing about the matter is, that
some who were innocent were among
the victims. The sherif's conduct is
approved by the Gov. of the state, and
by the governors of the Southern states
generally. We are glad that one man
has met the mob spirit that has been
growing in the South and West, in the
most effective way. Two or three
more lessons of this kind will civilize
this element great deal more than
a spelling-book. The best way to sup
press mobs is for the courts to deal ont
certain and even-handed justice.

The Direct Tax bill has passed the

This is bill to reimburse the loyal

has been bitterly opposed by the demo-
Gratis at former sessions. Perhaps they
think there is no use in fighting any
longer against the inevitable. The
democrats have discovered that in keep

Would it not be a good plan for the
newspapers to drop the White House
scandals? The assumption that Pres.
Cleveland was defeated by the use of
these scandals in the hands of the re-
publicans is most too thin. Let the
