ergy is so much greater in these days,
that it is practically an impossi-
billity to do any work beyond the
common school studies, even though
the pupils are less in number. In con-
sequence, those who would continue
study must either be sent away to
school at the expense of parents or
friends, or go unprovided for.
By law in the state of New Hamp-
shire, each town, if not maintaining a
high school, must pay tuition at some
school within easy reach the expense
being somewhat lessened by small
rebate from the state.
Massachusetts is discussing the sub
iect and the statutes of Vermont even
make mention of a possible provision,
by the directors, for such needs, in a
certain section of school law. The
education and right training of our
boys and girls at this age should not
be dropped here or relegated, neces-
sarily, to schools in other towns.
Further, in regard to expenditure of
money he asks, "Have we had the
worth of it?'' IF not" he replies,
"where does the blame lie? With
the teachers? Doubtless, to consid-
cradle extent. With the directors?
Certainly, to a larger extent than with
the teachers. Has any one else been
in fault? Yes. Primarily, and more
than all the others, the parents, guard
ians and tax payers of the town have
been at fault, if the fault has had an
existence.
Public money should only be ex-
pended for the public good. If one
cent is diverted from its proper chan
mel, wrong has been done. If the
public will see to it no official will
fail to do his duty, and no official has
any excuse for failing whether he is
watched or not. But watch your
schools, school officers and teachers
carefully, for they have in their care
the training, and to an extent the
making, of the men and women of
the future.
"See to it that attendance at school
is uninterrupted and if you would
have the very best results, do not let
any selfish motive prevent a more
complete consolidation of our schools.
Pay more for transportation and have
less schools. A school of six pupils is
a school with none of the advantages
that came from contact with others
and the friendly school emulation,
that is productive of good results.
Let us think on these things.

GENERAL ORDER.

Adiutant General w. H. Gilmore,
by order of Governor Stickney, has is
sued the following general orders re-
garding the death of Brigadier Cen
era j. J. Estey, retired:
The Commander in Chief is panied
to announce to the officers and mem
bers of the Vermont National Guard
the sudden and lamented death, this
day, at Brattleboro, of Brigadier Cen
eral Estey, (retired).
General Estey was a graduate of
Norwich University, in the class of
and without his previous knowledge
elected Captain of Co. 1, First Regi-
ment Infantry, and for twentysiX
years afterward was devoted to the in
terests of the Guard in 1881 be was
chosen Lieutenant Colonel, in 1881,
Colonel, and in 1892 Brigadier Cen
eral serving as such until his retire
ment in 1900, the Legislature having
upon his own recommendation abol-
ished that office.
AS mark of respect to one who
has served the State so well, the Off
GERS of the Guard will wear the usual
badge of mourning for thirty days, and
the regimental colors will be draped
for the same time: the commanding
officer of the section of artillery at
Norwich University will cause a sa-
lutte of thirteen guns to be fired on
Monday, the 10th inst, at the hour of
interment, and the flags on all arm
cries and at the military college will
be flown at half mast until sunset of
the day of the burial.
