For Summer Study.

Teachers and students in university
extension work will hold their summer
meeting this season in Philadelphia. This
is partly because the University Of Penn
sylvania offers exceptional advantages
in the way of libraries, laboratories and
other inducements to students.
The course begins July 2 and ends
July 2S. The studies are different from
those adopted by the Chautauqua circles,
equally excellent in their way. The uni
versity extension course contemplates
the taking up of advanced studies at a
point where the ordinary college leaves
cf. The departments considered excep-
tionally strong and well equipped for the
coming summer course are those of ped
agogy, economies and sociology. The
whole scheme is designed to be especially
helpful to persons already engaged in
teaching. 1t will lift them ont of the
mere school textbook atmosphere into
the higher realm of the philosophy and
abstract principles of the various
branches pursued. We have at present
little of this profounder kind of learning
in America.
In the deeper, wider knowledge in
struction will be given at the university
extension summer school, among other
things, in psychology, music, art, litera-
ture, history and civics. Edward Ever.
EFT Hale, the man who stirs MP thought,
will be one Of the lecturers. Saturdays
will b. devoted to short excursions which
convey uLj.ct lessons in history.

The recent legislature of New

placing of any flag other than the
American upon any public building,
but it has met with a veto from Gov.

as a "textie fabric" Well, come to
think about 1t the American flag has
been out of favor with that party for

We learn that the friends of Hon.
Daniel Sherwln of Jamaica will pres
ent his name to the county conven-

from the north shire. Mr.. Sherwin
is a solid, level-headed man who, with
his legislative experience, is well
equipped for the position. AS Lon

our next-door neighbor, with whom

most friendly relations, it seems al
together probable that our people
will heartily endorse the candidacy

The amount of rot that is biennial
ly injected into the Vermont guberna-
torial canvas is simply amazing. This
year it is all in behalf of the lieuten-
ant governorship. Everybody seems
satisfied with Woodbury., at least no
one has the courage to speak out,
Notwithstanding this gentleman has
always been considered of the ma
chine and his calling and election
made sure two years ago. However,
it is not our purpose to discuss this
matter. The SITTER is entirely salts
fed with Col. Woodbury. and believes,
under the circumstances, that the Re-
publican party cannot do better than
to give him unanimous nomination
and an old-fashioned majority. But
the canvas for lieut-governor. That is
growing somewhat warm. The farm
er is again appealed to to rise in his
might and crush out the ring by NOM
mating a farmer candidate. Now
this is all right in way, and is di-
rectly in line with the principles the
SITTER has steadily advocated. But
what are the facts? How was two it
years ago? 1t was thus: two or three
newspapers presented a farmer can
didate for Governor one everyway
qualified for the position and who
would have reflected credit upon the
state and the party, although he had
never been to Europe and got back
alive. Did the farmers rush to his
support! No! And more, these self
same newspapers, that are now kick
ing up dust to befog the situation,
and trying to alarm the farmer, were
then loud mouthed advocates of Levi
Fuller. There never existed better
opportunity to place in the guberna-
torial chair competent and worthy
farmer than at that time. 1t was fritz
tered away. The machine, the poll
tlcian, for revenue only, and Lewis
money triumphed to the disadvan-
tage and disgrace Of the party. Why
Simply because the farmer has not
been used, in such matters, to be self
reliant. From time immemorial he
has depended upon the village politi
clan for his political pap. If be held
a convention, fair, or meeting of
any description it must be addressed
by a politician. If he wanted to
know how to raise cabbages he sent
for Hooker. If he wanted a lesson
in patriotism he called upon the hero
OF Reyes farm, and so on to'the end.
Now we protest that it comes with i'll
grace, at this day, for men who adj
vocated the election of Fuller, espe-

calling upon the farmer to arise and
claim the lieut-governor. This is but
second place. The farmer, who is
largely in the majority, is clearly en-
titled to first place, and as there is no
chance for that this year the SrFTER's
advice to the farmer, and it is just as
good as anybody's, is that he keeps
quiet and two years hence demand
first place and take it. He should not
be satisfied with anything else. The
securing second place this year, If it
were possible, would only cut him off,
at least for years, from first position,
and there is no reason why he should
be content with playing second fid-
die.
