From the st. Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN
There seems to be considerable
speculation as to the division of the
public money to the school districts,
and members of the board of educa-
ton are advising districts to pro-
long the winter term in order to meet
the requirements of the law. Let US
reason the matter The law stipu-
| lateS that districts maintain a school
| tWenty-fOur weeks in year, that
! they may draw their full share at the
end of the year; but does not say
| that we shall sustain a school twenty
four weeks in nine months or the
fractional part of a year. Now in
changing the time for the school year
to commence, it leaves a fractional
part of the year. And if the law SAYS
what we are to do in a whole year,
will not just reasoning tell what we
are to accomplish in part of a year.
That would not give US to under
stand that we were to do the work of
u whole year in nine months, What
is to be done? 1t would not do to
reckon the work done in proportion
to the time left to do it, as some dis
tricts hold three eight weeks terms.
and one term might come after the
first of April and those districts
would come short two weeks of
school in proportion to the time
The right way would be, where dis
tricts at their last annual meeting,
made provision for maintaining
twenty-fOuP weeks or more of school |
in the ensuing year and have shown
their intention of carrying out the !
same, should be entitled to their fulI |
share OF the public money. Let the I
selectmen take this course in the di- |
vision of the public money the com |
ing year and they will do Justice to !
all. ~

Gov. Page and the New School Law.

Gov. Page and the New School Law.
Gov. Page was in Montpelier in
consultation with State Superintend-
ent of Education Palmer last Satur-
day. 1t is hardly necessary to say
that the object of their conference was
to discover some method bywhich an
extra session Of the Legislature may
be avoided. 1t was finally thought
best that the Governor should confer
with the Judges of the Supreme court,
asking their opinions as to the con-
structiOn of the school law with refer
ence to the school year. This the
Governor has done, and if the opin-
ions Indicate much diversity of senti-
ment on the part of the Judges, there
will probably be no other way but to
call the Judges together under the
authority given the Governor by Sec
795 of the Revised Laws. d.
Ii their decision should be that no
school district can draw it's share of
the public money unless twenty-fouP
weeks of school shall have been kept
therein during the nine months next
preceding the Goth day of March. it is
not unlikely that an extra session
may be called. 1t is hoped, however,
(and this hope is strengthened by the
opinion of Judge Wheeler) that the
intention of the Legislature may gov
ern, even though the language of the
law may seem to point to a nine
months year. No one doubts what
the Legislature intended to do, nor
can any one for a moment believe
that their purpose of assisting the
weaker districts should not be faith.
fully carried out, even though an ex-
ira session may be necessary to ac-
complish that purpose. TheGoYernor.
from the first, has strenuously 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. He
still so believes, but if the Supreme
court shall otherwise decide, he is at
present inclined to the view that.
rather than compel the poorer dis
tricts to lose their share of the public
money, it will be his duty to call an
extra session.

Elghty-one years ago Monday in
Liverpool, England, was born n man
whose life and work have been an in
spiration to civilization. VIM, Ew-
art Gladstone began his parliamen-
tary. career in 1882, a year after
leaving Oxford, and began it. too. as
a conservative. For nineteen wears
hon0rs showered upon him, but in
1871 he renowned his allegiance to
the party of Peel, offered himself be-
lore the electors of Oxford, and was
returned by such decisive majority
that the year following saw him ele-
waited to the chanceliorship of the
eXchequer. Succeeding Lord Palmer
ston as leader of the commons in
1860, he rapidly became the fore
most statesman of his generation,
and his political career since is every
where known. IN scholarship, phi
lanthrOpy and domestic virtues the
grand Old man is equally grand. And
America delights to tender him its
hearty esteem and good will.

"COnant's Vermont" tells why the
name Williams river was given to the
stream that empties into the Con
necticut river just north of Bellows
Falls. At the time of the burning OF
Deerfield in the early part of 1904
the pastor of the place was Rev John
Williams, and his family were among
the captives which were started
toward Canada by the French and
Indian marauders. During the
march Mrs. Williams was killed by an
Indian with tomahawk because she
did not travel fastenOugh. Thenext
Sunday the party eamped at the
mouth of Williams river, and Mr..
Williams preached there to his fellow
captives, and from this circumstance
the stream was given it's name.
