Act No. II, approved Nov. 6, is
exactly Act No. Is, approved
Nov. 20, except that the latter
provides for % weeks and the
former for &c, and that this is a
gross Inconsistency and contra
diction. Now the simple fact
about all that is that one o.
those acts was introduced into
one branch of the legislature and
the other into the other branch,
and they passed each other in
getting through the houses and
were both passed and approved.
With the twenty eight weeks
school the legislature became
content, and upon the principle
that the last Act approvcd would
prevail theyl let the ma tier stand.
Now which is the commendable
course for people who assume to
instruct the public? To ass ume
or state well known principles of
construction like that all statutes
must be reasonably construed,
that if such construction can be
placed upon them that both can
be maintained, and if not that
the latter shall prevail thus Civ
ing the people the real situation,
or to undertake to make out
that the law is filled with insur-
mountable doubts and difficult
les? Which course is the most
friendly to the subject and the
most friendly and beneficial to
the cause of education? 1t is
true that it would be better if
Act No. II was in some way re-
jected for surplusage, but it
really and in fact does not inter
fere in the least with the realcon
struction of the other two acts.
From all these acts result exactly
what after all the discussion that
was had became the settled con-
victions of the Assembly.

EsLAND POND. VI EERRuARrI
Schools and School Men.


The Educational Meetings and
Teachers Institutes held in Essex
County last week remind us that
we have had in mind one or two
suggestions which it may be
proper at this time to make. One
is that if individuals would lay
aside self and the putting of ego.
tistical notions of their own into
controversial attitudes with
school work, and assert their
opinions independently, but i'll an
advisory and conciliatory man.
ner so as to bring about candid
comparisons and results, the
school work would be less i'm
peded. To illustrate: The State
Superintendent expresses his
views in reference to a most in
congruous feature of education
in the state and thereupon his
election is opposed. Not on the
ground of incompetency, nor in
the manner in which he has done
any of the work. And so he has
to spend a large portion of his
time in keeping on his own feet.
Then when he finally gets to his
work he has to spend another
large portion of his time in ex-
planning to individuals why legis-
lation was not had according to
the peculiar ideas of each man
with whom he comes in contact,
a matter with which he has moth
ing to do whatever. What little
time is left after this he is at lib
erty to devote to school work.
Besides this he is at work in a
system which at every session of
the legislature almost totters on
its foundations. To hear some
men talk about their deserted
school house, and the centre Of
interest being removed to some
more central portion of the town,
and their children taken from
home to be educated, almost
makes one think of the declara-
ton that men were transported
beyond the seas for trial. They
entirely forget that economy and
the best facilities for instruction
come from bringing scholars I'M
der the most efficient influences in
town instead of sending an in
competent teacher to instruct a
little handful without means to
do so. Besides this there are
many who endeavor to raise
themselves to prominence by as
Stunning to know so much about
the subject by posing as educat-
ors. Now we opine that if they
will all get their peculiar notions
out of the way and let the system
have a fair trial we should soon
see a system of education in Yer
mont that would rival any other
in New England. Our educational
workers must have a fair chance
to work.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1895-02-01

Apropos to this men are too
apt if their own peculiar notions
are not adopted to seek oppor-
tunities to find fault with legisla-
ton on the subject. This gives
opportunity to show profound
learning with reference to legisla-
ton. To again illustrate: In
1890 a law was passed providing
for tax for school purposes. 1t
provided that the State Treasur-
er should notify commissioners of
taxes of the amount required
from the unorganized towns un-
der their charge, and they were
to raise and remit the same. The
treasurer of each town was to be
informed of the portion required
from his town, and was to COM
nunicate this to the selectmen
and they to cause the same to be
RENTED to the State Treasurer
The distribution was to be made
on the basis of the number of legal
schools kept in town. In 1894
Act No. 10 was passed declaring
that "a legal school for the pur-
poses of this act shall be one
which has been maintained for
at least twenty-six weeks" etc.
This act related to nothing but
the raising of that tax, and the
twenty-six weeks of school was
prescribed for that purpose and
no other. BY Act No. IS it was
provided that in every town there
should be kept a sufficient num-
Der of schools, etc, for at least
twenty-eight weeks in each year
,
for general purposes. This had
no reference whatever to Act No.
10, which latter as we have said
was simply for the purpose of es-
tablishing a basis on which the
money was to be distributed
Now the one is in nopossible way
whatever in conflict with the
other, and yet it Is made a pre-
text accomplishing men to rush
into print and talk about the
laundering inconsistency oflegis-
latlon. But they say further that

One encouraging feature of the
work exhibited by these educa-
tlonal meetings was the manner
in which teaching was sinplifed.
These gentlemen seem to be get
ting down to the true essence of
teaching. To illustrate: Our
state superintendent talked a.
bout School Government, and
when he came to the subject of
punishment he talked about the
abstract right to inflict it, the
nature of offences to which it
should be applied, the degrees of
punishment, the justice upon
which it was founded, and it's
necessity in correcting and adj
justing the relations between the
members of school. The boys
leaned forward and gazed intent
ly at the speaker, caught every
word he uttered, and understood
clearly the principles of right and
justice upon which punishment
should be founded. Whether
consciously or unconsciouslv he
was discussing the law of torts,
the animus that legally enters
into the commission of offences,
the laws of negligence, and con-
tributory negligence, in short he
was discussing in the simplest
manner the elements on which
were founded the most pro-
found principles and upon which
arise the most intricate legal
questions, and every boy under
stood him. Now what is more
important than to teach the re-
lations which one bears to an
other and to duties and obliga-
tons which grow out of men
acting in a collective capacity?
And why not have books that
will bring these things down to
the capacity of boys and girls as
this man did instead of placing
before them abstract and COM
plicated theories so stated as to

A condition of gross wrong ex-
listed for years and prevented the
adoption of free text books.
While a majority recognized the
wisdom and justice of such a
provision, their adoption was
prevented simply because of a
difference of opinion as to how
the selection should be made. So
large sums were expended by
those getting up the books in Sc
curing their adoption, that in
order to be reimbursed they were
obliged to charge many times
their real value, which came I'M
equally from the poor. Thus the
poorest classes were compelled to
pay not only for their books but
for the enormous expense of
getting them introduced. And
when the act providing for free
books was passed it just barely
got through between a heated
controversy between the friends
of county and those of town
uniformity. But thank fortune
they are at last secured, and if
anybody is to be gouged in their
sale the oppression will not fall
most heavily upon the poor, but
upon corporations best able to
vindicate their own interests.

PROF. SCOTS LECTURE.

On last Friday evening the first
lecture of the Twice Five Club"
course was given by Professor Sc ut,
of the O. S. L Columbus, Ohio.
The audience was large and ap-
preciative, as is most always the case
in regard to these entertainments.
The theme of the Prof's. lecture
was 1.-The Individual" and evidenced
much deep research and profound
Thought.
The speaker took the position, tha
in order that man should attain to
his standard and best fnlill the objects
of his creation, he should allow no
force, neither Fashion, Politics, Relig-
ion nor social status to rob him of
his individuality, bat, as an individ-
ual, with an individual countenance,
unique mind and disposition, he must
carry these traits into every relation
Of life, or be dwarfed in all his parts.
The lecture as a whole was logical,
learned and luminous snd did great
credit both to the speaker aud the
Club.
