Chlnery, IN ART III everything
during the past fifty years than
during a half a dozen centuries
before. If this rapid pro-
erosion continues where is it
going to end? The ingenuity
of the inventors is making
more rapid strides than that of
the many millions of people
who have not the ability to in
vent. In the stuggle to keep
up with the smarties y some
one is going to get hurt. The
average man is not a clam ="
and he is willing to move with
the age. but can he move fast
enough? Echo answers:
scarcely.
This of course applies to
the uses to which some
things are put, not all. Way
back in the sixties " the people
in New York had to depend
upon the pony express as a
medium for bringing news
from their friends in far off
California. The railway had
not crossed the barrier that
divides the east from the west;
the promise of Puck to "put a
girdle round the earth in 40
minutes was not fulfilled SO
far as it applied to a telegraph
line across the American CONT
nent until early in 81 or '62.
The last thirty years has
brought wonderful improve
ments in these respects-in-
stead of the numbering stage
coach we have the vestibule
trains which go laundering
along at the rate of fifty and
sixty miles an hour and before
many weeks the resident of
New York City may eat late
dinner at his home and have
breakfast next morning in
Chicago. This is progress.
The telegraph now reaches to
almost every country on the
globe except the Hawaiian ISL
ands but progress is going to
bring it here, and soon, too.
1t is in history that thirty
years ago the "old fashioned
iron Eagle Flows were the
only ones used here; then
some one from the States in
troduced what was then a
modern pillow. But the coun-
try was growing. immigration
was on the increase, and with
new residents came new ideas.
The merchants here had to
keep up with them progress
sion" had begun to take notice
and be noticed the old style
Eagle pillow was cast aside and
something better was intro
duced until the Blank Steel
Plow and Breaker was made
and was thought to be the best
the people here ever saw. But
progression again came into
play and other dealers in plows
exercised their genius and put
on the market what they eacf
believed to be the only " break
ing" plow fit to use. AS com
petition increased the POPULAR
ty of the & first prizers " begun
to wane, and for the past five
years it has been a case O
improving the improved unit
it has eliminated in thu
Hendry Breaker
We believe we have reached
the par excellence of breaking
plows in this one. Progression
in this respect will cease nov
and the plantation man wh'
fails to see its many point
of excellence is the one who i
welded to antiquated ideas.
Only a few weeks since, a
was stated in this column a
the time, our pillow was sen
out to be tried with a half
dozen breakers from other deal
ers. We we're not present a

standard. That it needs to be elevated
in this County, and probably in other
parts of the State, goes without saying.
Something of permanent value to the
schools would be accomplished in this
direction if the examinations could be so
managed as to induce teachers to prepare
for them.
The general deficiency in history and
literature has been mentioned. Would
it not be advantageous to have half the
questions in each of those branches set
upon special part of the subjectP In
United States history, for instance, let
half the questions cover the subject, as
now, in general way, and let the other
half be directed to some special period,
the same to be announced some months
IN advance, and the teachers to be held
to strict accountal fifty for thorough prep
aration. If teachers knew previously
that half the questions in history would
be upon Vermont from the time of her
settlement to her admission into the
Union, they would know definitely what
to study, and they ,gOuld study, and they
would come prepared to show they had
done good work. At the next examina-
ton the special questions would of
course be upon another part of the
subject. Some such plan might perhaps
be adopted for the Principles of Educa-
ton The examinations in that subject,
in this County at least, are barren of re-
suits. The teachers know nothing about
it, and the field to them seems so mac
cessible that none of them attempt its
conquest. Would it not be a step IN the
right direction to announce that at such
and such an examination teachers will
be held responsible for what is found in
Pages Theory and Practice of Teach
ing" or Aliens "Mind Studies" or
Whites elements of Pedagogy" or
JohonnOt's principles and Practice of
Teaching" or in some other work of the
kind, assigning a different book for each
examination? Many teachers have given
the assurance that this plan would en-
courage them to work upward.
Additional encouragement is needed
also in another direction. Very few
teachers at present, try to obtain the
first grade certificate. The large num-
Der of subjects to be taken at one ex-
animation renders failure in one or more
of them extremely probable, even with
teachers who are well informed. Would
it not be a just encouragement and adj
vantage tU allow candidates two COIL
secutiye examinations in which to Sc
cure the first grade certificate? Teachers
would then, in case of failure in one or
two branches, have a strong inducement
to make up by study the deficiencies re-
vealed in the first trial. These SUCCESS
tiOns are respectfully made in the firm
belief that whatever encourages teach
ers to better mental equipment will re-
suit in marked advantage to the schools.
In conclusion, the Examiner wishes to-
acknowledge the numerous expressions
of courtesy and regard which have come
from teachers, the encouraging interest
shown by some of the Town Superin-
tendents, and especially the kindly CO.,
operation and helpful suggestions of the.
State Superintendent.
Respectfully submitted,
CHAs. S. DAVIS, County Examiner.

The Battle Monument.


There seems to be an impression abroad
that the entrance to the monument is
free, and some visitors, especially from
out of-town, resent the idea of paying
the nominal fee of ten cents per capita
for going up to the lookout room. They
argue, so we are told, that the structure
is owned by the State, and that there
should be no charge attached TO the as
cent. In some cases parties have gone
away because they would not pay the
fee, and in others the charge has been
paid, and then complaint has been made
and printed that the interior is unclean-
ly and dungeOn-like, etc. .. ...
Now, there is no just cause for any
misrepresentation. The fee is much
smaller than that asked for most other
structures of like pretentions, and in
this case even the directors of the Asso-
cation pay the ten cents each every
time they go up the stairs with friends.
There are no dead heads-everybod is
served alike. The funds accumulated
from this source are used to keep the
grounds, ETC., in order and do not go into
anybOdy's pocket, so that no one is max
ing a cent out of the monument fees.
As to the revenue to the janitOr-one-
half the ten cent fee-the attendance re-
quired is 1856 days each year, and the
whole time of day light During the
present season of summer the total num-
Der of visitors have aggregated 4, 900 since
the season opened in May. Last year
during the entire winter the receipts
that went to the janitOr were only 800
SO the reader can readily see that the
fiye-cents the janitor receives is not a
gold mine each year, and the inference
printed that this official cannot earn the
amount received falls before the facts.
The interior of the monument may be
damp at times, but that is not the fault
of either the janitor or the Association.
The stairs are iron and painted. When
the interior is damp people that wear
kid gloves must not expect the hand
rails to be proof against soiling them,
nor that the walls or stairs will not soil
dresses if they come in contact. We
know, personally, that the interior is
kept in good shape, and that there is no
reasonable cause of complaint. Our peo-
pie should remember that ,oo0den stairs
are not subject to rust, and that the
large expense to appease popular de-
mand. The dark place in the ascent is
due also to the change-the inclined
plane idea not conforming to the win
dOws as placed for the wooden stairs
planned when the monument was build
ing. The dark place" is only a couple
of flights. however, and until the monu-
ment can be lighted by electricity in the
day time must be borne.
We do not apprehend that these re-
marks will stop the complaints mad :, but
they vii tend to show their unreasonable
ness. We have the tallest battle monu-
ment on the globe. The entrance fee is
ten cents. The ascent is up "a easy
flights of iron stairs, AIT steps, and the
caVe-like feeling complained of cannot
be helped. The attention paid TO visi-
tors is equal to that of Bunker Hill and
until our outof-town visitors in Yer
mont began to complain of the fees there
was not one word of fault found.

THE STOCK MARKET,

The market showed little improvement yester-
day and prices were a few cents better very
significant feature was the number OF cash sales
reported, principally in the leading nOrth-end
stocks, and they were the cause Of considerable
comment. Just why stock should be wanted "cash"
when there is much stock in the brokers' Offices Is
hard TO understand Again, the absence OF any
quantity OF stock the early call in the face of
sharp decline and weak market the previous
evening was another thing the public could hardly
understand.
Some OF the brokers report plenty OF the leading
stocks on hand, while others, and leading ones too
report scarcity. II the former are correct Il
surely ought to be easy matter to borrow almost
any OF the leading stocks. but 1t is a well-known
fact that many brokers have been unable to
deliver stock at the regular hour Instead, they
have requested that they be carr led until the
next day, and the same piece OF has made the
rounds Of several Offices and ended up by coming
back to the same ONCE whence IL started All
these facts coupled with the reports published over
the Superiutendents signature that good ore was
showing on every level OF Con. Cal a. Va. point TO
tn fact that the present break is but part OF con-
tempated move 20 depress prices for some reason
other. Hence, II would not be at all suTpris-
Ing TO see reaction in the nOrIh-eud stocks

During a recent rain-storm in Salem,
Mass, electricity played some queer FRANKS
a Porter's market
On the roof Of the building is s. clothes
line Durag tile storm a towel blew from
this line ard lodged upou an electric light
ing wire below. Being wet it wound
around Tie wire and the electricity passed
through il and shot down into the ground,
where it came in contact WITH the water
pipes leading into the building
tran along the pipes and the first thing
it encountered in the basement was a pot Of
hot lard which was boiling on the stove.
The lard was Illuminated and the young
man in charge thought il must be burning
He started 10 remove il from the stove and
received q shock that sent him against the
basement walls.
Pale with fright he rushed upstairs,
where a fellow workman noting his pal.Or,
reached for tle water faucet to get glass
Of water No sooner had he touched the
faucet thau he had occasion 10 pick himself
up from a far corner Of the room.
For q few moments everything seemed
turned into an electric battery, The nails
in the wall became red. electricity few
from the Water-pipes ana flashed around
the bands on the water nails.
At length some one found the cause Of
the trouble and the towel was removed.
