Obituary.

HUBBARD.-The death of Mr.. Erastus
Hubbard, one of Montpelier's best-known
citizens, occurred Friday afternoon, at about
five o'clock, at his home on Main street.
Mr.. Hubbard was taken ill the week before,
but he soon grew better, and no apprehension
was felt. He seemed to have quite re-
covered by Monday, but that evening he
became worse, gradually failing from that
time. Although during the last twelve
hours there were no hopes of recovery,
death came at last quite suddenly. The
cause was congestion of the lungs, compli-
Gated with heart difficulty. Mr.. Hubbard
was born September s, 1911, and had spent
his entire life in Montpelier. He was
in business at first in a general grocery
store, and afterward was in the hard
ware business at the store now used by
Barrows & Peck. An explosion of powder
in the store many years ago affected his
eyes SO that his sight became quite dim in
recent years, necesstating a withdrawal
from active business. Mr., Hubbard was a
large real estate owner. and much of his
time before his sight failed him was occu-
pied in caring for his property. Two chill
dren-John e. Hubbard and Mrs. b. f.
Fifeld-with his wife and brother Gus
tavus, survive him. The funeral was held
Sunday afternoon at the house.

The Agricultural College.

The reasons why Vermont should es-
tablsh a separate agricultural college
are stated exclusively in recent num-
Der of the Ne,o England Homestead.
The array of facts and figures on the
subject do credit to the papers enter
prise and zeal in the farmers behalf.
The whole subject is discussed in a
clear and convincing way. In the first
place, it is shown that the original Nor
rill act of 1862, the Hatch act of 1887,
and the act of last August all have in
mind the complete and absolute control
by the legislatures of the states and ter
ritores of the funds derived from these
acts. The Hatch act contains this pro-
vision: And in case any state shall
have established, under the provisions
of said act of July 2 aforesaid the Nor
rill act an agricultural department or
experiment station, in connection with
any university, college or institution
not distinctively an agricultural college
tabished or shall hereafter establish a
separate agricultural college or school
which shall have connected Herewith
an experimental farm or station, the
legislature of such state may apply in
whole or in part the appropriation by
this act made to such separate agri-
cultural college or school, and no legiS-
lat,Te shall by contract expressed or inn
piled disable itSeJtrom so doing" These
words leave no doubt as to the we'll
understood position of agricultural col
leges established by the Morrill, act, in
relation to state Legislatures. 1t is to
be noted, too, that the Morrill, act Itself
says that the fund for such colleges
shall be applied in such manner as
the legislatures of the states may
respectively prescribe" Practically
moreover, the legislatures of differen
states have assumed this control, ant
the courts have sustained them. Ii
North and South Carolina, by simple
state laws, the land grant funds wer,
taken away from the old state universe
, ties and given to new agricultural ant
mechanical colleges. In both case
= the universities went to the trouble o
( making exhaustive legal Investigations
. after which they admitted the right o
t the legislatures to complete control o
3 the fund. The claim that legislator
t can not revoke charter or portion O
8 ! a charter can not be seriously set up il

A State School Tax.

The recommendation of Superin-
tendent Palmer that a state school tax
be levied, to be equally divided among
the towns of the state, has been received
with marked favor at the state house.
The drift of private talk on the subject
has been favorable, and two bills max
ing provision for such a tax have been
introduced. That of Mr.. Enright of
Windsor is designed to be substitute
for the present school law, while that
of Mr.. Darling of Chelsea, introduced
yesterday, is of the nature of an amend
ment to the law. Mr.. Darling's bill is
the more simple. 1t would leave the
school law where it is in theory, but
would make it more successful in prac-
tice. 1t is designed to remove the only
reasonable objection to the law, which
is that it weighs too heavily on the rural
towns in the matter of expense. The
standard of teachers has been raised,
and no one regrets it. On the con-
trary, there is not an intelligent citizen
of the state, from Massachusetts to the
Canada line, who is not glad to see
progress made on this vitality important
subject of public school education. But
it is hard for man to be very enthu-
siastic of a system which, while accom-
plshing good results by general adj
mission, taxes him more heavily than
he can bear. Moreover, the man thus
taxed does not always look squarely at
the subject, to see where the fault is.
He is likely to have too much of human
impotence in him to do this. The nat
ural thing for him to do is to cry out
that the law is all wrong-that it must
be repealed. There are more members
than one of the legislature who have
taken this very position regarding the
school law. They see how it compels
the poorer districts to pay higher wages
for teachers than they can well afford .,
and some doubt the benefits of county
supervision. Yet little sober thought
must convince any reasonable man that
the trouble with the law is wholly in
reference to the expense of the schools.
In other respects, it has worked adj
mirably, according to all who have
studied it carefully. 1t has certainly
not been such a failure as to justify its
repeal. 1t has been tried but year.
Can fair judgment be formed in that
time? 1t is well to remember the un-
popularity of the listing law of 1880 at
the end of the first year. Another year
of experience made its hold on the state
too firm to be shaken. Amend the law
by equalizing taxation, by all means.
This is just and practicable. But until
the law has had a longer and fairer trial
than it has had, it would be the height
of puerility to turn back to condition
of things for which the state long had
reason to blush.
