Supervisor w. II. Taylor of Caledonia
county in his annual report declares that
with the adoption of the new school law
new era in educational matters has opened
We are coming to discover what many of our
sister states have known for years, viz:
that school teaching is skilled labor, a pro
fession Of the highest type, and that to main
tain it in its integrity fair compensation
must be offered for tue service rendered, and
every precaution taken to exclude such as
are unwilling to prepare themselves thor
| oughly for the important work - This is
solid truth, as is the further statement made
| by Supervisor Taylor, that 'if Vermont
aspires TO rise from the unenviabie position
concerning educational matters that she has
contented herself with in the past, she must
recede from her penny wise policy SO
generally practiced and treat her schools
with that liberality to which their import
ance entities them.
No one claims perfection for the new
school law but evidence accumulates to
show that it has advanced the schools of the
State to higher position than they before
occupied. In this connection the Manches
ter Journal well says;
The commission which. was appointed to in
| vestigate the matter before the new law was
passed found that one cause for the decadence
| OF the schools was poor teachers To remedy
the, difficulty the law was framed to demand
| higher qualifications on the part Of teachers,
| and IL was expected that this would. for "A
| time. cause a scarcity of teachers and higher
| scale Of wages. This has happened. but the
difficulty IL not likely to be of long duration.
1t was expected that teachers would take
more pains to tit themselves for service, and
! necessarily take time before the full benefit Of
the change in the law ia secured Though
| there may be exceptions yet Oh the whole we
! think there is already considerable improve
ment and n the law is continued with some
slight notifications we think the improve
ment will be much greater in the future. Les,
than two years gives hardly time for fair
test Of the law.
The journal is undoubtedly correct in it,

The Election Bill Not Dead

A democratic exchange says that the
election bill is dead. Not at all. Action
on tine bill has been postponed but under
conditions that make its final passage rea-
sonably sure. The agreement OF the Sen
ate republican caucus held last week has
been fully accepted by the democrats. SO
far as the business of the present session is
concerned. The order of business for the
remainder Of the present session, arranged
by the republican committee of the Sc nate
provides that the consideration of the tariff
bill may be completed without interruption,
except the appropriations bill and con
ference report. Meanwhile the election
bill goes over until next December,
but under an agreement that it is to be
taken up at the beginning of the next SEES
sion, and a special rule is to be adopted
fixing the day on which the vote is to be
taken The difference between the situa-
ton now and what it would have been un-
der Senator Quays resolution is said to be
the difference between the defeat and the
passage OF the election bill Under the
Quay resolution the Senate would bind
itself not to consider the election bill al this
session, and there would have been no
agreement for passing it at the next. As
the matter now stands, however, it leaves
the business pretty much in the
hands OF the republicans to settle among
themselves when the time comes for action.
Notwithstanding their confidence in the
final passage of the election bill, however,
it must be confessed that its friends are
greatly disappointed over the postponement.
Speaker Reed has always maintained that
II the republican senators had acted prompt
ly and manifested determination to secure

failure to pass both the tariff and the cleo

Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge opened the
campaign in speaker Reeds district in Maine
at Portland this week. In the course of his
remarks, after reading the first plank in the
republican platform of 1888, demanding eff
fective legislation to secure the integrity
and purity of elections, he defined the pro
visions of his own election bill SO clearly
that we quote this section of his speech;
Itproyides for this and nothing else, to give
publicity to every step IN the election of con
gressmcn, whenever people of that district
anywhere in the country petition for it, 1t
touches no local officers; it ntcrfercs with no
local system. simply provides that there
shall be United states supcrvisors appointed
by the courts, who shall examine the registra-
ton, examine the naturalization, watch tine
voting, watch the count and make return OF
them to the chief supervisor. II the whole dis
trlct IS under the law, and the certificate OF
the CHIEF supervisor and that of the lnlted
states officers differ, the certificate of the
United States officers is to be prima taclo
evidence over that, but from that there is an
appeal to the courts: The man VIII, holds the
states certificate, If he THINKS lac is wrougcd
by not receiving nited states certificate Is
granted an appeal to the courts. Tint - the
beginning and end of the law. If elections in
district are honest such a law would be wei
coined by every man to pro IL. IL they are
not honest is there any reason why we should
not know it, and bring that crime to punish
mcntf
Referring 10 the cry raised against the
bill that it is "forcc" BILL that it is
''bristling with bayonets" and all that, he
makes very effective use of a few stats
tics. r. 9. Mills, has stat d that there are
30, 600 polling places in the United States.
Now, says Nlr. Lodge, "wo know there are
%, 600 United States troops. Then if you
admit that it is force bill' it
is easy to see you would have five
sevenths of a soldier at every polling place
in the United States 80 The absurdty of
the charge Of force in the measure was well
set forth by Mr.. Lodge, who said: "When
I think Of the $1,000, 600 people in tins

Thc Pconlc's COLLEGES.

The passage by the House Of the Senate
agricultural bill, to which we briefly re
ferred Friday, is worthy more than passing
notice This bill was originally introduced
by Senator Morrill, the author, by the way
of the original agricultural college act of
1862, and justly called the father of this
system of education. The purpose of
the bill which has now passed both
Houses of Congress, and which will
doubtless receive the signature of the presi-
dent, is 'to establish au educational fund
and apply the proceeds OF the public lands
and the receipts from certain Immigrant
railroad companies to the more complete
| endowment and support of colleges for the
advancement of scientific and industrial
education. "
As our own State agricultural college
in common with similar institutions in other
States is to be materially benefited by this
action, brief statement of the
situation with regard to Vermont
will be timely and interesting. In
! 1862 certain amount of land was given
by Congress to each State to endow in each
an agricultural college. The income arts
|
Vermont TO $3.50 year. and this money
| according to Congress was to be used for
| teaching those branches OF learning relating
to agriculture and the mechanic arts. This
was all the aid given by tho general gov
eminent to the University, though the ex-
pense to the University OF teaching the
above branches has been for many years
mure than double this amount annually.
! To this fund the United States now adds
SO, 600 for last year, $40, 600 for this year
and an increase OF thousand year until
the amount shall reach $2j, 900 year,
According to the act this money is "to be
applied only to instruction in agriculture,
the mechanic arts, the English language
and the various branches of mathematical,
! physical, natural and economic science, with
special reference to their applications in
the industries of life and to the facilities
for such instruction"
