Fish Law Declared Unconstitutional

The case of state VS.. Francis n.
Eaton on trial in Orange county, Il
prosecution of Barre druggist for
fishing in Thaycr brook, private
stream in Braintree, which had been
stocked and posted by the state fish
and game commissioners, was ended
on respondents motion to direct Il
verdict. Judge Thompson decided
that section 4,50S of the Vermont
statutes giving the commissioners
the power to stock private streams
and by posting the same to prevent
fishing therein for three years, to be
unconstitutional as to waters not
boatable, which the evidence in this
case showed Thayer brook to be.
Judge Thompson considered the eff
feet of the statute to be the taking of
private property from the owner
without compensation. In directing
the verdict for respondent he said
the question was so SIMPLE and plain
and the answer so evident that the
respondent ought not to be put to
the expense OF maintaining his con-
tention in the supreme court.

Vermont Normal Schools---A Change
in Methods.

The State board of Normal school
commissioners has now assumed
absolute control of the Normal
schools in this state in fact as we'll
as in name. At recent meeting of
the board several new departures
from the former mode of instruction
was decided upon. At the schools
IN Randolph and Johnson the same
principals will be retained but at
CaStlctou ,. Il. Lcavcnworth who
has in the past been engaged as as
sistant principal was at this time
promoted to the position Of prlnci-
pal. There will also be il great
change made in the corps OF instruc-
tors for the schools at Randolph and
Castlcton.
In all the Normal schools radical
changes in the courses of study arc
to be made so that hereafter the
work will be entirely professional.
The qualifications for admission
have been raised SO that only those
will be admitted to these schools
who have thoroughly completed
common school subjects. Training
schools will also be established in
connection with each Norma! school
wherein the students attending the
Normal school will receive the pr;ic-
tical benefits derived from the cN-
pcricncc Of doing ACTUAL teaching in
these training schools.
The principals selected by the
board to have the supervision of the
work in these training schools are as
follows: At Randolph. Miss Me-
tclla |. Paine of Jay; at Castlcton.
Miss Sarah J. Whitney OF Winchcn-
don, Mass. at Johnson, Miss Lizzie

The white pine lumber tax fight
seems to be Il badly mixed up con

western white pine lands ask for the
S. protective tax against Canadian
lumber, while the Burlington luN-
Der men want the duty laid by the

made in the name of protection and
whatever the outcome is one section
or the other is going to suffer.

he would gather new ideas as to the
