month IN which the division is made as it
was under the law Of 1889, when the d.
vision was made in July The allegation
that il this reads March the statement Of
division is to be filed before the division is
made, is not true. The division is to be
made on the Friday before the last Tuesday
of March, aud the selectmen have the rest
Of the month in which TO file their state

The long and the short of the whole mat
ter is that when the school money was to
be divided in July the statement of division
was 10 be filed in July, and now when the
division is TO be made in March the state
ment of such division is to he filed in the
same month. When the school year ended
July the registers were to be returned by
the Both Of June; now when the year ends
April they are to be returned and filed by
the Both Of March before.
The closing reference to section l2i
seems to have no meaning.
The Phoenix makes no attempt to defend
the new school law on its merits. We be
lieve, as we have repeatedly said, that il
was decidedly an act of unwisdom to abolish
the law of 1888 before it had had fair
trial, or had even been got into good work
ing order, so as to be judged by its effects
But that law was overturned, the new on,

visions in a reasonable way and save thu

The Morrisville News and Citizen of this
week, Gov. Pages home paper, rays that the
Governor was at Montpelier last Saturday
in consultation with the state superintend-
ent of education over the disputed points
in the new school law, with a view to de-
vising some means to avoid calling an ex-
ira session of the legislature. 1t was final
ly thought best for the Governor to confer
with the supreme court judges with refer
ence to the length of the school year, and
this has been done by letter, enclosing to
each a copy of Judge Wheeler's letter
printed in The Phoenix last week. If the
weight of opinion is that there must be "a
weeks Of school between July and March
20 it is probable that an extra session will
be called-but Gov. Page, the News and
urged that the construction of the law
given by Judge Wheeler was the fair con.
struction and that, consequently, no extra
session would be required"
In an interview with Gov Page, printed
in the Free Press on Thursday, the Gov
ernor is quoted as saying that State Treas
urer Field refuses to disburse the school
fund of some $3.50, 900 under the present
law, unless the supreme court so construe
the law as to hold him harmless therefor.
Should the judges agree in upholding Su-
perintendent Palmer's view of the law a
special session of the legislature will be
called.

VERMONT BRArrIEBORO FRIDAY JANUARY 1891


The snow which began falling rapidly,
and with an appearance Of being very
much in earnest soon after o'clock on
Friday morning Of last week, continued
without interruption throughout the day
and until far into the night In Bratteboro
the amount which fell was g inches of dry
snow. On the hills il was considerably
more. In the higher parts Of the county
the ground is said 10 be covered 20 a depth
OF three feet on n level The storm was
the worst since the great blizzard Of 1888,
and was one Of the worst which has been
experienced in any recent year The af-
ternoon mail train on Friday came through
nearly ON time, but all trains after that
were very much delayed. The 4.40 train
did not go down until some time in the
night, and the 6:2j train from the south
was several hours late Saturday morn
lng's owl train from the north was five
hours late, and no train came through from
the south until about noon No attempt
was made TO run the narrow gauge pas
senger train up on Friday night. As early
as possible on Saturday morning the big
snow pillow was started out, followed bv the
passenger train, and good time was made
to South Londonderry. The pillow and
train reached Brattleboro on their return
about o'clock, and since then all regular
trips have been made The storm was a
widespread one, extending far to the west
and south.

Another Letter from Judge Wheeler ON
the New school Law.

Doubts seem to arise in the minds of
some about counting the weeks of school
between March and July, which were with
in the school year that ended on the first of
July, towards the "a weeks which districts
are required to maintain in order TO share
in the division of public money to be made
in March under the new school law. They
say public money has been divided upon
those schools once and inquire how that
can be done again. But the public money
was not under the act of 1888, and is not
to be under the new law, divided upon the
number of weeks of school at all: it is di-
vided upon the number of districts and
the number of days of attendance of schol-
airs. The requirement of "a weeks is
limitation upon the right of districts TO
share in the public money unless that num-
Der of weeks has been maintained within
the prescribed time If district has had
a school that number of weeks within the
time indicated by the adoption of another
school year it will be entitled to share;
otherwise not If it has had half that
number, or within one of the number, it
will not share proportionately nor at all,
but will be cut off entirely.
The whole subject was within the power
and control of the legislature; it could fix
this limitation as it saw fit 1t saw fit to
leave it to depend, as to the first division, to
be made under the new law in March, as it
will be in after divisions; that is, if dis
fria bal Ol
weeks within the year ending on the
Goth of March, it will be entitled to share
in the division to he made on the Friday
before the last Tuesday of March, and, if
not, not. The legislature could as well
provide that these weeks which have been
as that districts which have been counted
many times before shall! be counted again
And neither has been counted in respect to
money to be then divided, but only in
respect to other money about which moth
ing will then be to be done.
If the weeks within that school year are
not to be counted then none are to be, and
no division can be made, for no law will
be in force providing any other school year
in which to count them. The law provid-
ing for the school year beginning and
ending at July will have passed away; and
no law ever provided for a school year be-
ginning in July and ending in March in
which to count weeks of school, or for any
purpose. The registers will show the num-
Der of weeks, the school year of the new
law will show the time within which to
count them, and the right of districts to
share can apparently be readily determined.
