The LAWYER.

The profession of the law in its more
exalted spheres is undoubtedly among
the noblest of human avocations. 1t has
been so considered from the time when
Cicero gave it history down past the
memorable era when its modern glories
radiated from the massive brow of
Webster, the weird countenance of
Rufus Choat, the fiery presence of Sar-
gent Smith Prentiss, and the spirit
haunted atmosphere which surrounded
Edward Dickson Baker, whether in the
log court house of the prairies, or under
the spreading dome of the national cap
itol. A knowledge of the law is essen
tial to enlightened craftsmanship, and
the profession is itself the eminence
from which nearly all our great states
men have begun to ascend. In secu-
lar point of view, nothing can transcend
the lofty altitude where the truly great
lawyer stands, in behalf of the poor and
defenceless accused, pleading for justice
and for life, before the iron-visaged aud
inexorable law. That is the nearest APP
proach which man can make to the con-
dition of the gods, when he unselfishy
smites the rock and summons forth the
sparkling and reviving fountains of
Mercy. The seat of law, as old Hooker
said, sis in the bosom of God, and her
voice the harmony of the world: all
things in heaven and earth do her
homage: the very smallest feeling her
care, and the greatest are not exempt
from her power. When we linger over
the splendid history of the British EN-
pire, it is not to follow the sangunary
track of its armies, or the history of its
kings, but to listen to the still reverbrat
ing thunder of Burke, launching his hot
bolts through the icy heart of Warren
Hastings, and exercising the more than
demon cruelty of the British govern
ment iu its East India possessions. 1t
is to bursts of eloquence such as these
that the soul nobly responds, and under
the spell of the great orator excaims,
will anyone ever again doubt that God
still inspires man.

Commends Board of Trade.

The board of trade has done splendid
work in securing for Montpelier the
meeting of the State Teachers Associ.
alton for next October. This is the big
gest convention of the year in Vermont
and will assemble thousand people or
more. Our new city hall is an ideal
place for such a convention, but smaller
halls will be required for various de-
partment meetings and conferences. We
must see to it that our visitors have such
an enjoyable meeting that they will
want to come again. Before that meet
ing occurs we ought to be able to an
nounce that we have made plans for the
erection of new high school building

New Hampshire for Reciprocity.

In spite of the fact that Mr.. Bachel-
der, head of the national Grange, tried
to get the subordinate Oranges of the
Granite State to come out in opposition
to reciprocity with Canada, the remark
able statement is made that the Senate
of that State voted in favor of the agree
ment, thus concurring with the recent
endorsement of the project by the New
Hampshire House.
Now the New Hampshire House has
no less that 4l3 members, and many of
their number must be farmers. Under
these circumstances the endorsement of
President Tafts plan for closer trade re.
lations with Canada is significant. New
Hampshire, like Vermont, borders on
Canada, and the farmers of that State
would be affected by the discussed com.
petition with Canadian farmers as to
prices just as the farmers of Vermont
would be affected.
We are glad that the New Hampshi hire
Legislature has thus given definite ex-
preston 30 its views regarding recipro
city with Canada, as outlined by the
President. 1t is difficult matter for
ANYBODY to get definite opinion of
sentiment among people throughout the
State, based upon discussion of the
subject like that in the New Hampshire
Legislature when no body like the legis-
lature is in session.

Education in Vermont.

There have been all sorts of rumors
regarding the changes and proposed
changes in Vermont. The facts seem
to be as follows:-
The normal schools in Vermont have
been below the national standard. The
principal course has been taken by girls
coming directly from the elementary
and rural schools. They have previ-
ously given these girls two years train
Ing and sent them out as normal trained
teachers. This is four years lower in
standard for admission and graduation
than the standard for Massachusetts,
New Hampshire or New York. Re-
Gently they have increased this lower

The establishment of an agricultural
high school at Randolph Center is a
noteworthy achievement from which
great results may be expected. At the
outset the teaching force will be three
experts in scientific agriculture who will
demonstrate to some thirty or more
students the possibilities of new meth-
DDS applied to tillage, crop-raisiDg,
gardening, orcharding, forestry, dairy
ing, stock-raising, farm management,
marketing, domestic science aud the
manual arts.
No doubt there is truth in the guess
that farming in the beautiful Green
Mountain, State could be made more
attractive to the sons of farmers through
the trial of new methods; and we may
be sure the victory in competition de-
ponds upon perfection of farm products

Isn't it about time that sickening sen.
sationalism in methods OF defense of
persons accused of such atrocious deeds
as that committed by Mrs Muller
should be sternly reouked in gatherings
of lawyers? The possibility that such
persons did not merit the misfortunes
which might predispose them to crime
does not warrant posing them as mar
tyrs before judge and jury. A woman
capable of murder should be as justly
dealt with as men in that position, for
extreme cruelty is just as possible to a
trail little woman as it is to mascu.
lar giant of the so-called stern sex.

course to three years, but il has not been
in operation sufficiently long to produce
any teachers. The higher course Was
for high school aud academy graduates,
and Was for one Year only. This has
been increased to two Years. Very few
high school aud academy graduates have
taken the Course. The product has
been extremely high in cost considering
the character of the product itself.
The schools have been unfortunately
located, each Of the three being in places
where there are insufficient children for
demonstration and practical purposes
Furthermore, they were in rather in-
accessible places. The Randolph Nor
NAL school was in very small village,
80 miles from the railroad. Its attend
ance was in the vicinity of 80. There
fore, MS this school WAS in fiue agri-
cultural section, it seemed wise to cou-
vert it into an agricultural high school
rather than to maintain it as a normal
school. This has been done. A bill is
before the Legislature at present for the
erection and establishment of normal
school to be state-owned in buildings
and such school to be of the same grade
and character as are maintained in the
other New England states.
In order that opportunities for train
ing may be afforded all sections of the
state, bill has passed for the establish
ment of teacher-training courses in higl
schools aud academies which are so 10
Gated and equipped that they can rro
vide teachers for rural schools. A teach
er training course requires specials
in preparing teachers, the state payint
at least $500 of the salary. There mus
be at least 10 in the class, the class com
posed of seniors and graduates of higI
school. Vermont is distinctively ruraI
and it is almost impossible to provid
teachers for the rural schools. Tn
adoption of the teacher training cours
is for the purpose of producing a bod
of well-equipped teachers.-Journal q
