IT PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

The following act concerning school visitors and town committees, which is of special interest to the people of this town, has been passed unanimously by both houses of the General Assembly |:
 Section l. No person elected to the office of school visitor or town committee shall be employed as teacher in the town where he or she is school visitor or town committee.
 Section ?. If any school visitor or town committee shall be employed con- trary to the provisions of the preceding section the office of school visitor or town committee to which he was elected shall become vacant and his successor shall be appointed under the provisions of section 2l2l of the general statutes.
 It is a non. partisan, reform measure, which has been earnestly promoted by prominent citizens of both parties from all over the state; everybody wonders now that such law had not been enact ed years ago, and the authors of this bill have received numerous congratulations from all sides, on the success of their efforts to protect the common interests of the people.
 There is no doubt that, as rule, the public school teacher is one of the most honorable and honored of our public ser wants. But alas if reports from differ ent towns are true, there are evidently exceptions to this rule as to all others. Most persons would doubtless be sur prised to learn how many abuses have grown out of the double official relations of men who for political and other req sons do not hesitate to serve themselves and their friends by occupying two or more positions which enable them to put both hands into the public treasury.
 It Is SO obviously unfair that a man should be in any position where he can vote his own salary, and judge his own case, and make money out of one public service at the expense of another public duty, that the wonder is that any civiliz- ed community should ever have permit ted 1t.
 It is said that in one town in this state a man was district committee and school visitor, and hired himself to teach, and qualified and certified himself in all particulars required by the law! If the story Ia true 1t goes to prove that there Is more than one town in which there is urgent need of reformation in school matters.

 And stallion, stallion everywhere.
 It matters not how much you hate it.
 With ghoulish glee-they will debate it. Right then and there we formed club Or rather joint stock corporation Of &3000 dollars capital stock And elected officers by exclamation.
