YER MONT TEACHERS.
Rutland News.

1t cannot fail to be gratifying in a
way that school officials from New
Hampshire have been in Vermont
seeking teaching talent. At the same
time such enterprise should result in
some increase of wages paid country
teachers particularly IN this State.
While in the cities and larger towns
of Vermont the salaries paid teachers
are on fairly even basis with those
given in the neighboring States, in
stances are noted frequently of where
competent teachers are offered else
where practically double the pay given
them here and as consequence YER
mont loses their services. Our school
authorities must bear in mind that as
a commercial proposition the teachers
salaries are in competitive market
with those of other States.

Joy RIDING. "
Rutland News.

Some miscreants entered garage
at Manchester, distracted an auto
mobile, changed the number plates
thereon and proceeded to take
long distance "joy ride" This is a
most serious offence, not less than
grand larceny, as those guilty of it
will doubtless shortly discover. The
crime is also serious offence against
the public, for it may be that those
who surreptitiously took the car, -
which is polite way of saying stole
it,-may not be versed in driving
and if so they are constant menace
to safety while in possession of it. 1t
will be well remembered that there have
been narrow escapes from fatalities in
Rutland as the result of young men
taking in spirit of sportiveness auto
mobiles without permission. 1t is an
offence that deserves short shift.

1t is an encouraging sign to see the
Vermont farmers so deeply interested
in the raising of valuable purebred
cattle. Thousands of dollars changed
hands this week in Rutland at the first
sale of the Vermont Breeders Sales
company. The consignment was from
well-known herds in this State, and the
stock will go to farms over a large
area where it will form the nucleus for
new herds. A single bull from the
Lobell consignment in Wells was bought
for 81 900 by Champion Brothers of Ira
and o. A. Thomas of the town of Rut-
land, and H. C. johnson of Vergennes
paid 500 for a seven-year-old COW
with nearly 3O-pound record. Among
the Windham county purchasers were
A. F. Allen of South Londonderry,
heifer, $3.50; G. j. Dorsett, South
Londonderry, COW, $3.50; Mrs. Mary
Allen, South Londonderry, COW, S225;
Mr.. Dorset, South Londonderry, COW,
Sll5; L. C. Lowell of Bellows Falls,

personal interviews with prospective

1t is interesting to note that George

States senator from Vermont, at the
age of SO years is able to discuss with
vlgor the relations between the United

since he went to the United States
Senate, 60 years since he was first
elected speaker of the Vermont House
of Representatives, and 62 years since
he was first chosen to represent Bur-
lington in the State Legislature. His
name was twice presented as candl-
date for the presidential nomination
in the republican national convention,
first in 1880 and again in 1884. In the
latter year he received a substantial
vote, and he had the support of Massa-
chusetts and the four delegates-at
large from New York, one of whom
was Theodore Roosevelt. He was placed
in nomination by John D. Long of Mas
sachusetts and was seconded by George
