was administered by Judge Start to

the new executive presented his mes

touched upon large number of i'm
portant subjects, and abounded in
plain statement and pertinent sug-
gestion. Gov. Smiths was briefer,
but also included some pointed hints
in the direction of taxes and high.
ways. The messages were well re-

little food for thought, and will no

That emphatic Endorsement" o
Politics VS.. Education.

The following editorial, published
in the Montpelier Watchman of Oct.
5, presents remarkable illustration
of the possible union Of "inspira-
tion," discourtesy, politics, misrepre-
sentation. and-last and least-edu-
cation. As an inflated and wordy
"boomlet," launched on the eve Of
the election OF State Superintend-
ent OF Education, it will interest
and amuse our readers. We add
few comments thereto.
The election of Mason S. Stone, State
Superintendent OF Education, to the
presidency of the Vermont State Teach.
ers' Association, at the recent meeting of
that body in this city, was a singularly
spontaneous and happy expression Of
the confidence the teachers OF the state
have in the superintendent and their APP
probation of his labors for the improve
ment of the common schools, the insti-
tutions in which the great bulk OF the
senator's and representatives who con.
vene in the State House today received
their education. The value OF the COM
pliment was greatly enhanced by the
manner Of conveying it. 1t has been the
custom to advance the head OF the execu-
tive committee to the presidency of the
association.
Two men on this committee were
rather recent importations from neigh
boring state and principals of schools OF
the upper class, who had made up the
programme according to their ideas OF
propriety and courtesy. They seem to
have been somewhat out OF sympathy
with the common school administration
in the state, circumstance which, with
Others, had come to the understanding
of teachers generally. The committee
appointed to make nominations report.
ed in favor OF electing a president by
ballot, without formal nomination
Mr.. Stone was chosen president by q
very long lead over any other person
voted for. In view Of all the cirrumsta,.
ces OF the situation, this emphatic tn
dorsement OF the superintendent by hos,
who have had the best CHARGE To btcom
familiar with his administration y
school affairs was highly significant.
