three-year-old mare, Lizzie B., owned by
Mr.. c. A. Chapman. She brought $3.50.

IhE CONGREGATIONAL CLus.

The Congregational club of Western
Vermont held its second meeting at Rut-
land on Tuesday. There was large at
tendance and an interesting session.
President Carter of Burlington presided
and the opening exercises were conducted
by Prof. Wager. The first paper was by
Rev. Geo. w. Phillips, ID. D., of Rutland,
the subject being "The Tendency Of Con-
gregationalism toward Independency,"
and the topic was further discussed by
Prest Brainerd, Rev. NJ. C. Stebbins of
Cornwall, Rev. w. b. Hague of New Ha-
ven and others. Rev. C. III. Merrill read
most interesting paper upon the sub
ject, "Some Phases of the Problem of
the Country Church." About 80 sat
down to the banquet at the Bates House.
After dinner the paper of Mr.. Merrill
was discussed. Then came an able pa
per upon "The preparation for the min
stry now demanded by the work laid
upon the churches" by Prof. Graham
Taylor of the Hartford (Conn.) TheOlog-
ical seminary. Mr.. Taylor recited his
experiences, methods and means adopted
in the course of his missionary work in

SPRING SCHOOLS,

Although the new school law is a
model of lucid English, misunderstand-
ings of its provisions are beginning to
make themselves felt in one way and
another. just what shall be done about
spring schools is apparently a problem
in many districts, some of which do
nothing, while others attempt to act and
do anything but the right thing.

means and how its provisions are to be

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Rutlanders don't have to be told that
Rutland is the largest town in the United
States. They all know it and still are
not satisfied. What they want it to be
is the largest town on earth with itself
for the center.-[ Fair Haven Era.
Hon. John A. Kasson of Iowa, the
chairman of the commission which is to
60 to Berlin and straighten out the Samo-
an muss, is put down in the newspapers
as a native of Burlington. The fact, we
believe, is that he was born in Charlotte,
where his father was the principal hotel
keeper 60 or more years ago.
Secretary Proctor, like the good Meth
odst which the legislative directory says
he is, will soon issue an order abolishing
the Sunday dress parades at all the posts
throughout the army, as the present
commanding general recently recommen-
ded the abolition of the dress parades
and all other unnecessary work on Sun
day.

COUNTY CONTROL OF HIGHWAYS.


The new school law introduces some
what novel principle into Vermont legis-
lation. Hitherto the primary schools
haye been district affairs, although the
town had little something to say about
them. Under the recent legislation these
schools become in a sense county institu-
tons; the districts still manage them,
but they are all supervised by one man,
who does the business for the whole
county. The present order of things
seems to be recognition of the fact that
the whole county is interested in having
its schools the best attanable, for the
sake of the common welfare.
1t looks as if the same principle ap-
piled, and with still greater force, to our
main highways, and as if IA thorough
county supervision of them would re-
suit in more easily passable roads. 1t is
true that we have a county road commits
sion. but it is rather weak affair, with
too limited powers to do the work thor
oughlv. What is needed is a commission
tire system of main roads the county
over. They should be given full control
over them, either to build them or to su-
perintend their building and repair.
The goodness or badness of the leading
thoroughfares is the concern of the coun-
ty rather than of any town. Portions of
them may, and often are, little travelled
by the inhabitants of the town in which
they lie. 1t is, for instance, of vastly
greater consequence to the majority Of
Cornwall people than to the majority o.
the citizens of Middebury whether the
road from the Cornwall line to this vii
lage is poor or good; and the dwelers in
Addison who do business in Mddlebury
might possibly take more exceptions to
the highways of Weybridge than would
the residents of the latter town. Illus
trations could be multipliedaindefinitely
but it seems as though there were good
deal to be said in favor of the plan.
