The Normal Schools.

The legislature is dead. The normal
schools live. This is as IL should be.
The former had little reason for being
As long as there is life there is hope
for the latter.
This paper was not believer in the
central normal school idea, and the prin-
eipal reason is that those who get their
ideas Of teaching from the normal
schools of Vermont are not in positions
of such large affluence as to afford the
money it would cost tosreaeh the normal
centrally located Some criticism has
been made because most of the pupils
at the Csstleton normal were from Rut-
land county Where else would they
come froml There should be enough
would-be teachers in the largest county
I'll the state to fill one normal school, the
size Of the one at Castleton, and there
is. judging from the number now en-
rolled at that school, The Castleton
normal is good school, much better
than it was some years ago, and it is
to-day doing good work, as good as
could be expected for the money that the
state has been putting out upon il. Per-
haps when II has more money from the
state, as it win have when the present
appropriation becomes available, it will
be made still better. and even more Of
credit to the state than it is to.

Whatever the legislatures of the flu

as strong and foreible as they are at
the present time The people need them
located about where they are. As TO
the one in this county, it might be in
Rutland as we'll as in Castleton, but as
Rutland is not over and above anxious
for it and appears to be perfectly salts
fed to let it remain in Castleton, why
let it stay here. The same things can
undoubtedly be said for the school at
johnson that eau be said for the one at
Castleton Both are local institutions
and will forever remain such, unless the
state should appropriate a sum for their
betterment that would cause them TO
rank with similar schools in larger
states. something that Vermont legis

Bourbon Nonsense About Reciprocity.

The following is from the Worcester
telegram:
'If Canadian reciprocity with its doom
to agriculture in the border states is
re.enaeted by president who presumes
to dictate to Congress, the United States
flag will be half-masted elsewhere than
on Gloucester shipping. Vermont will
90 Democratic, as will all other border
states. They will never forget the blight,
the poverty that was theirs under for
mer experience with Canadian reciproc-
ity."
This sort of talk respecting the con-
sequences of freer or even free trade
between the United States and Canada
was more familiar years ago than it has
been Of late. 1t was the veriest nonsense
then and has become more so perhaps
in the progress of time and the neces-
sarily close approximation Of labor and
other industrial conditions of Canada to
those of the United States.
Let us, however, consider "the blight,
the poverty" into which Vermont agrl-
culture is said to have fallen under the
old Canadian reciprocity experience
That experience extended from 1855 to
1866. and here is the United States cen
