The New school Inv.

A communication of unusual interest and
Importance is printed on our first page to
day. 1t is from the pen of Judge Hoyt H
Wheeler, who in this way gives expression
to his views upon disputed point of the
new school law. After careful examina-
ton Of the new statute Judge Wheeler ar
rives at a conclusion contrary to that of
Superintendent Palmer as to the number of
weeks of schooling required before next
April 10 entitle districts to their share of
the school money He regards it as plain
that the law of 1890 simply wipes out the
provision of the law Of 1883 In this respect
and restores the old school wear beginning
on the Goth Of March Under this view Of
the case Judge Wheeler holds that it will
plainly he the duty of the selectmen ito
divide the money on the basis required
among the districts that have supported
schools of the required standing between
the 10Th of March, 1890, and the Goth of
March 1891 "
This conclusion is a very important one
to many of the small districts, which, under
super iutehueh1 alulei ConsITuCtlou ol
the new law, would be unable to get in the
required number of weeks of school to Sc
cure their share of the public money 1t i.
needless to say that there is no legal opin-
ion in the state that could carry more
weight on this subject than will Judge
Wheelers. His view of the matter is en-
tirely unprecedented, and is given simply fol

brief summary Of his discourse After al

with recollections Of former celebrations
and of those who had joined with the pres

of whom were now living in distant homes.
while some had entered paradise, the rector
dwelt upon the importance of progress in
the formation of the Christian character
the necessity of repentance for past sins Of
faith in the living God, and of obedience To
the divine law, showing that it is the peni-

rejocings without the observance of the
ancient fast Of Lent, so could there be no
true Christmas JOY without the observance

better rule for Christian living than that
which the church prescrbes in her Christian
year No modern devices no adaptation
of Christian doctrine TO what are termed
the needs Of the nineteenth century, how

compared for an instant with the following
of the old paths and an adherence TO the
