No wonder the people of the state
have woke up over the Mclntire child
abuse case in Bennington County. True,
in a measure it was an outrage to charge
the reverend gentleman with the Of
fence, and it was undoubtedly prompted
by personal spite, which is always
unauthorized meanness. But is there
not great principle involved in such a
situation? How many a man suspected
of a crime or misdemeanor, is arrested
on a warrant and incarcerated for weeks
or months in Jail because he is unable
to procure ball. and finally discharged
because the prosecuting officer has not
been able to work up evidence of his
guilt sufficient to warrant the expense
of trial Months in the county jail
and the stigma resting upon him and
his family, and no redress against the
commonwealth, whose prosecuting Off
Ger in it's name suspected he was guilty
of crime under the laws. Many sucf
a case, and we always hear the cry
every one must live above suspicion.
But then this is only another of thos,
problems which we suppose will Away
remain unsolved.

Our compulsory school law is in the
main an act of broad wisdom, but there
are exceptions to every rule. 1t is poor
Improbable business for the state to
attempt to make educated men and
women out of boys and girls whom ma
ture never intended to gain a living by
brain power. 1t is as unnatural for
some children to learn the books as for
an apple tree to bear pumpkins or a
cucumber vine TO, produce roses. 1t is
all bosh to try to drive some boys
through the arithmetic at the expense of
a successful term of school to the bene-
fit of other scholars. As a rule such hoys
are the ones who find their highest sat
isfaction in putting the teacher out of
the school house, or so conducting them
selves as to make the outlay of money
and human energy far worse than use
less. Modern methods of education are
in very many respects an advance move
ment; but some of the good things OF
the olden way have been side track ed
Indeed it is not strange that any condi
ton is possible which can give rise to a
newspaper headline like this: "Turn

"a superb type of the citizen soldier"

And what better and loft er tribute can

The best specimens of strong and
splendid manhood, broad in thought and
lofty in sentiment and rich in hope and
courageous in the face of every danger or

And if any Vermonter was ever entitled
to the tribute General Thomas was.
