A feature Of the Vermont school law
which has not come to general attention
prohibits any child who will not become
six years of age before the following
January from entering the public
schools. This feature will undoubtedly
meet the approval Of great majority
Of educators, but it will cause much
discussion and feeling among parents.
Experiment and observation have shown
that the child who enters school at the
age of five years and eight months ad-
vances in his work much more rapidly
than one who begins the course at the
age of five or less. The question Will
arise in this connection as to whether
the public school course should not be
shortened. With nine grades and four
years in the high school it will not be
possible for any student who advances
in the regular way to graduate berore
he is 10 years old, and if by sickness or
any other cause a child drops back the
age at graduation viii be 20 years or
upwards. 1t ought to be possible for a
boy or girl to finish the public school
course at the age of Is.

No man in Vermont is held in higher

banks of st. Johnsbury. In addition
to his years of pastoral work he has
written a history of st. Johnsbury
which will be invaluable to coming
generations. 1t is the kind of a work
that. many towns would appreciate but
which few viii get. Last evening was
a happy occasion for the venerable
clergyman, when the people of the

joined in giving him reception. He
was presented with over 200 and a
