The Evolution OF n Government.

The approaching centennial of the
one hundredth anniversary of the first
inauguration of Washington as presi-
dent of the United States directs pub
lie attention anew to the history of the
establishment of the government un-
der which the people of America are
now living. This last of the remark
able series of great historical centen-
malls the country has been celebrating
since the 10Th of April, 1875, affords
the Young American, whose knowledge
of political history is too apt to be
acquired amid the feverish excitements
and to bear the somewhat lurid i'm
press of a presidential canvass, the
opportunity to learn something of the
formation of the government and
strongly impress it Upon his mind.
In general way, the average Ameri-
can youth of the present age has an
understanding more or less vague of
some unpleasantness between Great
Britain and her American colonies in
the last century, of a final "appeal to
the God of Battles" of Lexington,
Bunker Hill and the Fourth of July.
If Young America cherished all the
events of that period with so much
patriotic fervor as the latter, he would
be prodigy of historic lore. But
knowledge of the political revolution
that followed the successful termina-
ton of the military revolution against
the power of England, and which gave
the government its stable character, is
confined too much, for the good of the
country, to the student of civil govern
ment. The opportunity of this centen-
NAL should be seized by the youth who

Educational Meeting in Chittenden
County.

On Saturday, April -, 1889, Super
intendent Palmer met the designated
Board of Education for Chittenden
county at Essex junction for the pur-
pose of discussing questions relating
to the duties and qualifications of
county supervisor. The meeting was
attended by some one hundred fifty in
terested people from various parts of
the county, and great interest and unan-
unity of purpose and sentiment was
manifested throughout. Among the
speakers were President Buckham of
the University of Vermont, Judge H.
Henry Powers of the supreme court,
Principals Conant and Campbell of
the Randolph and johnson Normal
schools, and Principal j. A. DeBoer of
Montpelier. The opening address of
Supt. Palmer may be contracted as
follows: We are met to consider the
question of appointing teacher of
teachers. This discussion touches our
sons and daughters, and is valuable be-
cause it considers their interests during
time when character is being formed.
Milton owes everything to the love of
classic learning which his early tutor

Quaker teacher gave the great orator
that love of learning which followed
him through life. Mistakes pursue
communities, as they do individuals, for
years. We must make no mistake in
putting into operation law which, for
the present, is an experiment. The
condition of our schools demands that
we make no mistake. The people de-
mand that we make no mistake. The
people, by the character of the county
board everywhere selected, have mani
tested their interest in the new school
law. The superintendent then read
from the new law and argued that the
supervisor sh ould be scholar, tacti-
clan, an inspiration. An educational
atmosphere should be created, and the
public press, doctors, lawyers, mer-
chants, all good people, should manifest
interest in this important matter.
President Buckham said, in effect :
When Superintendent Palmer desig-
mates these preliminary meetings i'm
portant, heartily endorse the saying.
When he calls upon me to sustain him
and the law, / do so cordially, for this
is the duty of all good citizens. / con-
fess that there are things about this new
law which ] should like to have had
otherwise, but l am one of those who

there are in Ireland. And he might

AMONG the heads that fell into the
basket yesterday, appear the familiar
features of our contemporary, Hiram
Atkins of Montpelier, superintendent
of construction of the public building
there. Editor Atkins experience as
builder is bounded by the rotten po-

construct for the Vermont democracy,
and in consideration of that experience
alone he obtained this last job for
which the government was MIXED for
goodly wages.-Sprmqfeld Republican.

our schools, must insure the teacher in
his Office and keep school affairs out of
politics.
Judge Powers began by telling the
story of traveller, who, belated on his
journey, sought an inn, at which, by
reason of overcrov ding, he was forced
to sleep with negro. The latter, dis
pleased Herewith during the night arose
and with burnt cork blackened the face
of the traveller Early the next day the
keeper of the inn called his traveller,
who hastily clad himself and ran down
stairs. When the inn-keeper beheld
him he cried: Go back to bed, you
black rascal, I've called the wrong
man." The speaker, however, made
valuable addition to the discussion. In
his judgment the country school is the
poor boys college, and anything that
will improve it is great gain to the
state. The old district school was good
because its teacher was. He favored
the idea of a teacher who boarded
around. He had done that and he
knew that this fact made it possible for
a teacher to better study the wants,
the character, and the human nature, of
the people among whom he taught. 1t
taught the teacher to understand the
way in which the common people think,
the two-fold government, the child.
Yes, those early school days were some
of the happiest in the pupils life.
Those were the days of tin pals and
doughnuts. Why, he, on careful esti-
nation, had concluded that he must
have eaten eighty cords of those veneer
able articles. But now things are
changed. The teacher wants a board
| ing-house and more wages, and there is
different atmosphere about it. The
town-system of supervision had not
always been well administered. Bad
men had been frequently chosen. But,
as for this new apprenticeship, what he
should be, how we'll he would fill the
bill, it was hard to say. Much de-
ponds on the unforeseen circumstances
that may arise. AT all events, he could
sum up his idea of the right man under
the expression "level-headed." If
any one desired portrait of the COM
ing supervisor, let him recall Secretary
j. S. Adams, who was able, even in a
back town, like Belvidere, to render
men and women practically crazy on

possible, overcome or minimize antago-

and there can be no doubt but that
under the direction of Superintendent
Palmer, cordially and periodically sup

Stanley and the " World"

The New York World appears to
have taken a contract for the regula-
ton of all things terrestrial. The
scurrilous sheet, in the plenitude of its
omniscience, ventures to assail the
character of Henry M. Stanley, the
African explorer. The World criti-
cizes the route taken by him to reach
Emin, attacks his management of the
expedition, and asserts that there are
grave discrepancies and eXaggerations
in the narrative of his adventures re-
Gently sent to the relief committee.
"The remarkable feature of SANKEY'S
expedition" says the editor, is that
it seems to have been marked by a trail
of gore. Starting from the mouth of
the Congo with a herd of shcepish ne
groes, Stanley claims to have advanced
into the heart of warlike Africa, shoot
ing and Staying as he went. How
C ,uld his little band stand up against
the fierce fighting hordes of the
interior? 1t is remembered that Baker,
Livingstone, Burton and other noted
explorers found it easy to travel in
Africa without resort to arms. Why
is it that Mr.. SANKEY'S course is ever
marked by bloodshed? Why is it that
he is ever wading through slaughter to
the throne of science? Is it because
he is brute, or is it because he is
pompous, vainglorious liar?" The
charges against SANKEY'S character for
veracity are too empty and baseless to
demand refutation. AS to the criticism
that he took the wrong route and was
guilty of mismanagement and cruelty,
it is barely possible that the expe-
rienced leader knows more about the
different routes across the Dark Con-
tinent and the best way TO manage re-
fractory natives than does the vapor-
Drained editor of the World. But if
our great contemporary must have
something over which to worry its
swollen head, why not let up on Stan
ley, Proctor, and other trivial subjects,
and turn itself loose upon the weary
public as critic of the stellar system,
with view to the detection of flaws in
its management and the reorganization
of the autiquated laws governing the
same?

As illustrating the necessity for in
dependent supervision in school man
agement we produce the following from
a report of recent examination of
teachers: " In glancing at the papers
on history the following expression
was noticed: A treaty of piece was
sined by the french " 1t is not at all
improbable that the parents of the APP
plicant responsible for that sentence
felt injured because a certificate was
not granted. The superintendent had
the courage to make a fair eXamina-
ton of applicants and abide by the re-
suits, though many were called and few
chosen. The difficulty has been that
where one superintendent has had the
ability to make fair examination and
the courage to grant certificates only to
the deserving, score have made the
examination farce and have given
certificates promiscuously. The prac-
teal operation of the old law has been
to legalize incompetency in school in
struction. The new law is designed to
remedy this vital defect in the old sys-
TEN. 1t will remedy the defect, and
therein will incur the greatest danger
of unpopularity. 1t will compel COM
mitteemen to hire teachers who have
had to depend for certificate upon
their ability to teach, ascertained by a
power whose head is beyond reach at
the next March meeting.

THE jubilation of the democracy over
the failure of the republicans to elect
their ticket at the recent general cleo
ton in Rhode Island received sudden
chill last week. The result of the cleo
tions held on Tuesday, in districts
where there was no choice for men,
bers of the legislature at the first cleo
ton, settles the control of the general
assembly in favor of the republicans.
The republicans have majority of
eleven on the joint ballot, with one
senator still to be chosen, thus insuring
the success of the republican state
ticket, which failed of an election by
the people. The assembly has also
settled the contest for state senator
to succeed Jonathan Chace by the cleo

COMMISSIONER VALENTINE, who has
been entrusted with the business of
booming Vermont, should take hint
from the methods of the boomers of
the hundred and one projects outside
of Vermont, into which her people are
putting money by thousands and tens of
thousands. If half that is done in Yer
mont for Fort Payne, Muncie, Texas,
ETC., were done for Vermont in the
places where there is money to invest
and people who want land, wealth
would be flowing into the state. At

GENERAL BoULANGER, Frances
noted political acrobat, who is at pres
ent sojourning in Brussels waiting for
" the clouds to roll BY" has met with
another rebuff. The government of
Belgium has, as it were, put an extin-
guisher upon the fiery patriot. The
authorities have informally warned
him to abstain from political agitation,
which will not be tolerated. If the
general sits still and restraints his large
and prolific talker from pernicious ac-
tivity, he will not be interfered with,
but failure to comply with the wishes
of the government will probably lead
to his expulsion. This is too bad.

The Personal and Talk-of-the-
Day" editors of the New York Tribune
should come to an understanding with
one another. The latter, about three
weeks ago, included among his care
fully-culled literary pansies an item to
the effect that Dr. Reed, the new presi-
dent of Dickinson College, says that
"a young man who plays baseball or
pulls stroke-oar can preach as effec-
lively as the man to whom long hair
and graveyard face give a sacred
look" The item was copied by other
papers and in due season was trans
fixed by the piercing eye of the cleaner
of personals" who last week repro
duced it in his grist. The Talker and
Personifier should cultivate the habit
of inspecting each others departments
and thus avoid boring their customers
with mildewed and shop-worn goods.
