Talks on Educational Topics.
ny j. W. NEWTON

The last general assembly of the
state of Vermont took long step for
ward in passing the new school law.
One mistake was made: the law should
have been enacted to stand four or six
years If this can be done in this state,
because there is a great deal of mis-
understanding about the town system
of schools, and people will not learn
the value of it in two years; so that
there will very likely be half-hearted
carrying out of its provisions on the
part of many who are opposed to it.
Then there will be chance to repeal
it, or make one of those crude and I'M
called.for changes which the legisla-
ture sometimes blunders into. What
is specially needed at this time is that
the tide of public opinion-in the back
districts especially-should be turned
in favor of the town system of schools
The district system was introduced
here when the state was first settled.
The districts we're formed mainly,
suppose, with the idea of having them
of such a size that the children could
conveniently go to the school.house,
which is usually near the center of the
district. Great changes in population
have taken place; districts which once
contained many children now, in many
cases, contain only from four to six,
and under such system good schools
are not easily nor often obtained. The
district system is expensive. In many
cases the burden of taxation falls most
heavily on the poorer districts. 1t costs
nearly as much to run school with
four scholars as il does to run one with
twenty scholars, If justice is done to
the four scholars.
Now, the town system OF managing
schools abOlishes the old districts and

Editorial Notlngs.

A RECENT decision OF the Iowa su-
preme court says that il an engineer of
a railroad engine, in approaching a
point where it is his duty to sound his
whistle, as required by the statute, OBJ
oorvos a man struggling with team of
horses hitChed to wagon, and can see
from the surroundings that to sound a
whistle will make the team unmanage-
able and greatly endanger the team and
man, it is his duty to desist until the
danger point ia past, or if necessary, to
stop his train, and if he does not, but
heedlessly sounds his whistle and per-
mits steam to escape, causing the horses
to run away, the company is liable for
the injuries inflicted. 1t would seem
that in Iowa, at least, the plain people
are getting some protection against
corporate lawlessness.

REFERRING to Mr.. Sanford's paper
read at the Morrisville Dairy Meeting,
which we recently printed, Mr.. Gilbert,
of the Mdine Farmer, says: THE APP
probation in which grass and the re-
sulting hay fodder is held in the econ
omy of dairy farming by the Vermont
dairyman is shown in the excellent pa
per reported in full for the Farmer,
read at their convention by Mr.. San
ford. Rich land, two crops year, and
three tons to the acre seems to be the
key note which Mr.. Sanford and many
other of the long-noted dairymen of
that justly celebrated dairy state are
sounding. We were not a little sur
prised at the estimate placed on this
common product of the field and the
pasture by all of those noted dairymen
who are making the surprising records
OF 300 to 400 pounds average of butter
to COW. So much has been said and
written of late, through experiment sta
ton work, of ensilage, bran, cotton seed
meal and linseed, that one might rea-
sonably conclude that modern dairying
is beholden to these folders for its ex-
isteuce. But right in the midst of all
this the Vermont farmer comes in and
beats the world, with grass as his foun-
dation. With all that has been revealed
TO US through modern dairy investiga
ton, it is clearly proven, then, that we
have this link still connecting the pres
ent with the past. Grass it was that
made Vermont a dairy state; grass gave
its butter product the reputation for
quality it long ago acquired; grass has
been the foundation, and still is, of the
profits these Green Mountain farmers
have realized out of the business, and
grass, green or dry, gives them in these
modern times the medals of honor won
on holly contested fields"

puts the schools in each town in the
hands of three or six school directors,
who are elected by the town meeting.
These directors " have the powers and
perform all the duties heretofore de-
volving upon the prudential committee
and clerk of school district" The
law further provides that there shall be
kept in every town "a sufficient num-
Der of schools for the instruction of all
the children who may legally attend all
the public schools therein" 1t also
provides that "Sad school shall be
within the limits of said town, aud at
such places and held at such times as,
in the judgment Of the board of direc
tors, will best subserve the Interests of
education and give all the scholars Of said
town as nearly equal advantages az may
bepracticable and said school board may
use portion of the school money, not
exc 3eding twenty-five per cent thereof,
tor the purpose of conveying scholars
to and from such schools" (See Watch.
man Publishing Company's edition Of
Laws of Vermont, p. 26)
Now, is there really any ground of
objection to such an arrangement?
There are none but may be easily
avoided. l hope to consider these in
another article, but now there are two
points which l wish to make. One is
that much, very much, depends upon
the persons chosen for directors and
superintendent. 1t is going to be a
delicate matter to adjust the schools in
the best interests of all concerned, both
educationally and financially. And the
greatest obstacle to the success of the
new system-and this is my second
points the prejudice against the town
system of schools. This prejudice
arises partly from the innate conserva
tism of the farmers, and partly from
lack of information. 1t seems to me
that every friend of good education
should aim to do all in his power to
create a public sentiment in favor of
the new system.
1t is not an easy matter for a man
who lives back here among the hills to
realize the progress which is being
made in schools and educational mat
tiers. l know of only one way for
people TO keep posted about such things,
and that is to learn about educational
progress in the same way that they
learn ABOUT progress In other things.
1t is through the newspapers that we
learn of other things, but it does not
come within the province of the news
paper to devote a large amount of space
to educational matters. There is an
educational world, and big one it is,
with about thirteen millions of pupils
and over three hundred fifty thousand
teachers in this country The best
way, and the only way that know of,
to keep we'll Informed as to educational
matters is to read papers devoted to
education. This is especially needful
for those who have to do with schools.
I have read the Journal of Education,
published at Boston, and it seems to me
that would not take hundred dollars
year for the information obtained
from it. The feeling of opposition to
anything new in school systems would
soon be dissipated by the reading OF
such paper. No class will be more
benefited by the new law than the
farmers, and yet they are just the ones
who oppose it most strenuously.

A KENTUCKY experiment stations
bulletin says; "Plants vary largely as to
the amount of potash they require.
For example, an acre of wheat yielding
20 bushels requires about % pounds of
potash; while an average crop of pota-
toes requires 100 pounds of potash per
acre, and an acre of tobacco yielding
$500 pouHds of leaves and stalks assim-
Hates over 200 pounds of potash. 1t is
evident, therefore, that the continual
cropping of soils with potatoes or to-
bacco will in time exhaust the potash
supply. Light and sandy soils require
this element almost from the start"

A Use for Each.

The pine tree grew In the wood,
Tai ering, straight and high;
Stately and proud II stood,
Black-green against the sky.
Crowded 80 close, 1t sought the blue,
And ever upward II reached and grew.
The oak tree stood in the field,
Beneath 1t do2ed the herds;
II gave to the mower shield,
1t gave home to the birds.
Sturdy and broad 1t guarded the farms,
with lite brawny trunk and knotted arms
The apple tree grew by the wall,
Ugly and crooked and black
But it knew tin gardeners call,
And the children rode on its back
1t scattered its blossoms upon the air.
1t covered the ground with fruitage fair.
Now, hey" said the pine, " for the wood
Come. live with the forest band;
Our comrades will do you good.
And tall and straight you will stand"
And he swung his boughs to wltching sound,
And flung his cones like coins around

a. The life of the field for me.

My branches are broad and free,
Grow straight and slim In the woods If you will
Give me tine sun anu tne Wlnu-bWept NIL
And the apple tree murInured low;
81 am neither straight nor strong
Crooked my back doth grow
With bearing my burdens long"
And 1t dropped its fruit as 1t dropped tear,
And Redeemed the ground with fragrant cheer
And the Lord of the harvest heard,
And he said: ~ have use for all.
For the bOugh that shelters a bird;
For the beam that pillars hall;
And grow they tall, or grow they Ill,
They grow but to wait their Masters will"
So a ship of the oak was sent
Far over the ocean blue,
And the pine was the mast that bent
As over the waves IL few,
And the rudy fruit of the apple tree
Was borne to a starving isle of the sea.
Now the farmer grows like the oak,
And the townsman is proud and tall.
And the city and field are full of folk
But the Lord has need of all.
And who will be like the apple tree
That fed the starving over the sea-

WE have received card from a
Montpelier correspondent, referring to
a clipping in this department of the
paper, January 4, saying that twenty
drops of tincture of aconite, once an
hour for seven or eight hours, in some
Cruel, will cure milk fever in COW.
The correspondent asks if we endorse
this. We have not yet had to treat a
case of milk fever in our herd; but we
are quite familiar with the action of the
tincture of acOnite root, as a controller
of the hearts action, and indirectly,
at least, relieving the symptoms, and
thus favoring the recovery of animals
suffering from febrile attacks, The
clipping, we think, was from the Stock
man and Farmer, and as 1t struck us
very favorably, we copied 1t. Farmers
generally, in our vicinity, keep aconite
tincture on hand for such occasions.
Though a strong poison, yet if used
with discretion, it's marked power OF
controlling the hearts action makes il
useful in great variety Of casee. The
small dose required is AN additional ad.

BUT this is not all. Premiums are
offered for great many varieties that
are of little or no value, and the reports
Of judges take no note of this, or of
other most important points. "A
handsome plate" often gets high
award, when really there may be sew
eral plain reasons why it should be dis
qualified. SO long as the old way of
judging by picked-up committees is
followed, premiums must continue to
be not only wrongly awarded, but val
ueless to the receiver because of the
plain incompetence or Indifference to
justice and good sense in the awards.

In the West, as in the East, these

in the Stockm0n and Farmer, says:
" An examination of the premium lists
issued by number of the county agri-
cultural societies in Ohio shows that
the apples originating in that state have
been greatly overlooked, for some UNI
known reason. The same is true of
the lists of the Ohio State Board of Ag-
riculture. In the latter, premiums are
offered for varieties from Massachu-
sets, Connecticut, New York, Mime
sofa, and from England (even the
worthless Ribston Pippin), but for only
one of Ohio origin, Western Beauty

RESPECTING the conditions of our
agriculture in New England the same
paper wisely observes that the basis
of all wealth is agriculture, and the
highest material and moral advance.
ment of people is dependent on the
harmonious development of their ag-
ricultural, manufacturing and CONNER
cal interests. The free interchange of
commodities between the nations,
which is likely to come in the not re-
mote future, may lessen the rigidity of
this requirement, so far as concerns the
leading nations, but it cannot safely be
disregarded altogether. A time must
come, under existing tendencies, when
farm articles will command, with respect
to other commodities, price sufficiently
high to render their production more
profitable than at present. Then the
drift from farm to factory and mercau-
tile house will slowly subside, and a
general reimbursement of employment
and interests will gradually be brought
about"
