The Normal School Fight.

(St. Johnsbury CaledOnian.)
The fight for the two normal schools
of the state has been opened by the
issuing of a little booklet, Facts and
Questions Regarding Vermont $ Nor
NAL Schools, by Charles \. Adams,
principal of the Castleton Normal
school. It is an ingeniously complied
argument for the normal schools, but
it omits one very important fact, name
~, that every investigation of the
normal schools by the state during the
past quarter of century has recon-
mended the discontinuance of state
support for them. Despite this uni
form finding the friends of the schools
have appeared before the Legislature
and defeated the recommendations OF
the investigators. 1t Is evident this
process is TO be tried again this SEES
sion but it is hoped the Legislators will
give proper weight to the unanimous
| finding against these schools by those
best qualified to judge the matter.

named
The gentlemen, the former a strong
Bourbon and the latter a rock-ribbed Re
publican, are both enthusiastic advocates
of the much talked OF north and south
state boulevard for the purpose OF bring
ing the two extreme ends OF this Pc
culiarly constructed state into social and
commercial connection. They are pro-
nouncedly In favor OF the proposition OF
Warden Shook of the state penitentiary,
to at once begin work on +he road
from New Meadows to Grangeville
with large force OF convicts, as soon
as the Shoshone road Is completed,
which IL now undergoing the finishing
touches They studied the road prop
osition In their trip down the river from
the Meadows with view of giving a
reasonably accurate opinions on the un-
del taking, and they believe that II Is
not going to be so much OF a job as
some believe.
They say, as has been heretofore stat
ed in the Globe. that with the mild and
seasonable climate OF the Salmon river
valley, there Will be no difficulty In
working force OF men on this stretch
of road all winter through, which 1t Is
impossible to do In less favored Sec
tions OF the state. This, together with
the abundance OF excellent material for
road construction ready at hand offers
the greatest possible inducement to the
early completion OF one of the finest
pieces of road in the state or In the en-
tire northwest.
Mr. Sutton, who is close friend OF
Governor Alexander, says In conversation
with him recently since the Shook
proposition, the governor said he was
decidedly In favor OF turning the convict
foice loose on this needed stretch of
road, and from this there seems but
little anything now standing in the
way of the promotion Of this great en-
terprise. Certainly. when the highway
commission is fully advised OF an the
! favorable conditions they would offer
no opposition, II the governor and other
prominent officials and citizens stand
firm for the early pushing of the work.
Messrs. Sutton and Jordan say that up
on their return to the south they will
devote some time to the agitation Of
the question, and win use their best
efforts to assist the good work along.

ENGINEERED HIS OWN LAW CASE.
The iKeunen divorce case held the
boards in the district court on Friday
during the closing hours of the term,
and created considerable interest for
the reason that Andy Kuenen under
took to manage his own case. Keunen,
who lives in the northwest part of the
county, has been before the district
court with such regularity for the past
number of years, on one charge or an
other, that he evidently has got the
"habit' and has come to look with
more or less contempt upon the legal
camp followers of Judge Steele's
court. Mrs. Katherine Keunen, who now
makes her home in Lewiston, and from
whom Keunen got divorce some five
years ago without opposition from the
wife, brought suit through her attorney,
f. e. Butler of Lewiston, to have the
divorce secured by Andy set aside and
asked the court ito grant her a divorce
and give her wife's share of the prop
erty. Andy, very naturally, showed OPP
position to such procedure, and hav-

ternity, proceeded to defend his own
cause. Judge Steele showed the legal
