Bugbee of Ludlow and Supt. George B..
Whitney of Townshend.
The committee on resolutions present
ed the following resolutions which
were adopted.
"Be it resolved that this association
extend to the people of Brattleboro
hearty thanks and appreciation for
their kind hospitality and greeting to
the teachers of the association.
'Be it further resolved that the of
ficers of this association be compliment
ed for the most excellent and helpful
program furnished for the days enter
tainment
"Be it further resolved that all the
speakers of the day, who have so ably
presented their topics, be rendered the
thanks of the association.
"Be it further resolved that the
present plan of one-day session for
the annual meeting of the Southeastern
Vermont Teachers association, in that
it is more effective and inspiring, and
reaches more teachers, be continued
in force for the coming year.
Whereas, Mason S. Stone, our pres
emf commissioner, has given many years
of efficient and faithful service to the
cause of education in Vermont,
"And while we believe that the best
testimonial of this service is to be
found in the changed conditions of our
schools throughout the state, and cspc-
cially in what he has done for the rural
schools, in giving them expert super
intendence and better trained teachers,
by instituting compulsory supervision
and Misunderstanding courses, yet we be-
licve that we as a teachers associa-
ton should publicly show our apprecia-
ton for this service,
"Therefore be it resolved that we,
the Southeastern Vermont Teachers
association, extend TO Mason S. Stone
a vote of appreciation for his services
to us,
"And be it resolved that these rcso-
lutions be printed in the Brattleboro pa
pers and a copy be sent to the Honora-
BILE Mason S. Stone, and that the asso,
citation show its appreciation by ris
ing vote
"Be il further resolved that we, the
teachers of this association, pledge ia
the incoming commissioner of education
Milo b. Hillegas, our hearty and unani
nous support in all his efforts toward
the advancement of education in the
state.'
The afternoon session of the convcn
ton was marked by an address by vii
lis b. Anthony, director of practical
arts of the Fitchburg normal school, on

Little Rock. April PA very er-
roneous idea has become prevalent in
the state about the recent decision OF
the Arkansas supreme court IN the
Alexander road law. The statute has
net been declared invalid as man

by the following paragraph from an
exchange:
'.Bonds issued and sold by road dis
.tricts organized under the Alexander
road law were held invalid by tae
supreme court Monay. The next leg
islaturo is looked 10 70 amend the
law SO as to make it stick -
This and similar statements leave
wrong impression. The constltu-
tionality of the statute has never been
.passed upon, and tae opinion in the
Craighead county case rather
streng hens than weakcns the act. u
IS held that in this particular case
the organization of the district was
mot in accordance with'the provisions
of the law, and it was therefore void
The same conditions apply TO SIX ou'
of twenty cther districts.
