HISTORY OF OUR SCHOOLS.

When and Where the First of Such Insii-
tions Was Conducted in Middlebury.
The first schoohouse in town was
built Of log and stood on the hill between
the town farm and the Seeley place. 1t
was taught by Miss Eunice Keep of
Crown Point, a sister of the wife Of
Moses Sheldon Of Salisbury. She was
obliged to abandon it when the settlers
retreated In l77T.
The first school in the village was
taught by Mrs. William Goodrich about
1871 in schOolhouse standing short
distance east of the residence of the late
Manfred Fpo'. About i79s a school was
kept in the south part of the house of the
late John Jackson, now standing a little
north of the Congregational church. AT
the beginning of the 10Th century the
first official action of the village was
taken, as the following record shows:
The subscribers, inhabitants of the school
district in the vicinity of Middlebury Falls,
hereby make application to the selectmen of
Middleeury to warn a meeting of the inhab-
itants of said district at the dwelling house OF
Samuel Mattocks, Jr., in said district on the

noon, to organize said district by choosing
pI roper Office rs for that purpose; to lay a tax
| for the purpose of building two or three
schoolhouses in said district, and for the sup
port of schools in part or in the whole if
judged best, and to transact any other bus

that may be found expedient.

village was divided into two district:

WHAT Is PATERNALISM?

When 4 certain class furiously abuse
what they call "paternalism' and with
equal fervor oXhort all men to beware
of it. it should be clearly defined and
understood what it is that is so abused
and which is to be so sedulously shun-
ned. Not only so. but il should lie
shown indubitable by facts and reason
that this ''paternalism' is worthy of
the abuse heaued on it. and that it is
madness to be needless of the vocifer-
Gus warnings against il.
Rational men. however, frequently
find that men and things are abused.
not because they are abuse- worthy, hut
because they are in somebody's
way and abuse is so easy ana cheap.
Give II dog or man Il bad name, mer-
itcd or unmeriiod, and it will be diff
cult to outlive or get rid of. That is the
plain raiione Of the matter; and the
fair presumption in all cases of mere
abuse that there is little real justinci-
ton for the vilification. And so il is
with respect to what is called ''pater-
naiism' Even the most virulent and
siintcss maligner OF it, Will agree that.

INFLUENCE or THE GROWN.

The power of the crown in Hungary
IS less extensive than in Austria The
Hungarian ministry recognizes respon-
sihilty 10 parliament, while the Aus
irian ministry is responsible to the
crown. The Hungarian ministry thus
appfoachcs the British type. Self gov
ernment through parliament in Hun
fary is of ancient origin. being founded
upon charter called the Golden Bull.
which dates back to 1222 and is thus
almost contemporary with the Magma
Charta of England. The Golden Bull
pla ced rigid limits upon the power of
;ho crown. and the Hungarians have
never lost the tradition of sefgovern-
nent. Thus the personal influence of
Francis Joseph which we noted as

is much less potent in the Independents

are said to include some of the expert cleo
tricians of the city. The promoters of the
company believe that automobiles are soon
to be generally used, entirely superseding
horses. The vehicles, 1t is said, are costly
now, owing to the inability to turn out the

pected to reduce the cost considerably.
