Superintendent's Report.

1.-The report of Superintendent Stuart de-
serves special attention and it's various rec
concentrations merit special approval He
especially recommends that the contingent
fund be increased SO as to provide lectures
for teachers institutes. These are a fea-
ture of prominence in most of the large
cities The expense is not great, and such
series Of lectures. aside from the practical
value to the teachers. have become exceed
ingly popular with the public in the cities
supporting them.
''At present there is no way of properly
caring for the grounds around school build
ings. Where these front on prominent
streets they are often unsightly. For some
OF them this unkempt appearance is height

could be placed under the care and control
Of Col. Bingham, the very efficient COM
missioner of public buildings and grounds,
each school would soon be found in most
attractive setting, instead of being entirely
out of harmony with it's surroundings. In
this connection the work of establishing
home and school gardens has already pro-
duced most pleasing and interesting results
The Secretary of Agriculture and Mr. b. T.
Galloway of his department have taken
great interest In this new scheme. 1t gives
the scholars practical knowledge of flow

HOW TO END STRIKES.

There has been a great deal said by
some newspaper men and speakers re-
Gently about the probability that some
day the public would get exasperated
beyond endurance by the state of affairs
caused by such strikes as that now In
progress in the hard coal region, which
causes great financial loss to many peo-
pie in various parts Of the country and
untold Inconvenience to the public In
general. Many people dismiss this idea
OF the publics putting an end to such a
state of affairs by saying, "What can it
DO about it, Now what it can do is
just what has been done in New Zealand,
1.-The country without strikes" II can
compel the enactment of law requiring
compulsory arbitration in all labor dis
putes and pro Viding for the Continuance
of work by the laborers while the settle
ment is in progress. The decision hav-
ing been once given becomes enforceable
by law and both parties to the dispute
must abide by it. This law has worked
satisfactorily thus far in New Zealand
and similar law would undoubtedly pre-
vent much if not all of the trouble and
! Inconvenience now caused this country
by strikes and at the same time ensure
both employers and employees a fair
hearing and just decision without loss
of time or money in private war. And

ness affairs on sure basis without dan
ger of failure due 10 some sudden te-uI

COMES OUT FOR MCCULLOUGH.

The News has worked for local option
longer than any other Republican paper
in the state, except one. In all that time
ii has steadily held the flag aloft. In all
that time it has consistently directed it's
ammunition TO the education of the peo-
pie and to the election of legislature.
A thousand governors may be elected,
but no reform will come till we have a
legislature. The News, therefore, has
always been satisfied on this question
with any governor the party chose to
nominate. The new idea, however.
seems to be that we must get a local OPP
ton governor 1T whatever cost. The
News fears that such campaign may be
fatal to reform. In our opinion every
effort should be DEVOTED to the legislature.
The governor has no power to make or
unmake laws-We must get a legislature.
There are three candidates for gov
ernOr now in the field. If the legislature
is right, on the issue, neither of the can
didates If elected would do any harm if
he could, and he couldn't If he would
The party managers and party workers
are united on the necessity of Republican
honesty with the platform. The prohi-
bitiOn party is hard at work to defeat To-
cal option in the legislature. Shall We

islature that we can trust?-BurlingtO

THE STATE MILITIA.

The Vermont National Guard has Just
finished another week of military man
ouvres-the annual muster, which in a
way superseded the old-fashioned "June
training" The modern muster is a long
ways in advance of the old June training
and the results are in corresponding pro-
portion. The June training was the gala
time of the people of the state Not merely
did the military turn out, but the civilians
as well, and the occasion was made a
general holiday. The actual good, from
military standpoint, obtained from the
former custom, was in inverse proper
ton to the Importance of the event.
The drills were conducted with all the
pomp that could be mustered, but the
men were not taught the tactics from
the groundwork as they are now, and il
is very probable that the troops left the
muster having had a good time, but not
having received thorough training that
is now given the state militia. 1t Is the
impression among few that the con-
panies now 90 to muster with a desire to
have good time, but 1t is not so. There
may be and probably is, a considerable
amount Of good times mixed in with the

LEGISLATURES MAKES THE LAWS.

The Courier begs to suggest that it
makes little difference TO the license
local option cause whether Mccullough,
McGettrick or Clement is elected gov
ernoI. for each is bound by the platform
on which he is running to favor such a
law. The only difference is that the
democratic platform calls for license
law without a referendum. In the eX-
ctement over the choice of a governor
the advocates of license should not lose
sight of the fact that the legislature
makes the laws, not the governor. and
that the main thing to be accomplished
is the election of legislature that will
enact license local option law that can
be submitted to the people with some
show of its adoption.
And it may happen that the man who
hOwls the lOudest for Mccullough, or for
McGettrick, or for Clement, Is not the
man best calculated TO assist in framing
such law.-Swanton Courier.

A BITTER CAMPAIGN.

Evidence accumulates that Clements
campaign is proving even more of fail
ure than his btterest opponents could
desire. Nowhere is this realized more
than in Rutland, and no stronger proof
Is needed than the course of the Rutland
Herald. which for a week past has print
ed hardly line of truth relative to the
campaign and in its reports of Clement
rallies has taken to wholesale falsehoOd
to bolster up the falling Clement cause.
If anybody wants amusement they can
get it by reading the vaporngs of the
Rutland Herald, but If anybody relies on
it for facts they will prove themselves the
siliest dupes at large. When news
paper begins to falsity its news columns
in an attempt to back up its editorial
claims it ceases to deserve the respect or
consideration of decent people. The
Herald began this when it cut out all re-
ference to Gen. McCullough's speech at
Arlington July n, and it has been con-
tinuing and enlarging the process ever
since Bennington Reformer.
