CURRENT COMMENT.
History with a Purpose.

At the meeting of the American Histori
cal association at Cincinnati the other
day. Professor Harry A. Sill of Cornell
university, enunciated the principle, in
the course of his opposition to the re-
election of William Roscoe Thayer as
first vice president of the association
that strictly neutral note best becomes
the historian in his work. He would
not have the historian take sides. The
principle did not seem to command itself
strongly to the convention for Mr.. Thay-
er, the object of the criticism, was chosen
once more, without opposition, to the
post he had occupied. There is at least
critical interest in Professor SilPs sug-
gestion, but there is validity in it only
to the extent of the general admission
that the historian should observe scienti-
fic methods. The true historian does not

to present facts without distortion. But

been heard of as historians but for their
basis of liberalism. The same may be

OUR VERMONT SCHOOLS.

The report prepared by Commissioner
M. e. Hillegas of the state department
of education to be presented to the Yer
mont legislature, recommends that the
features of Vermont's school laws be re-
tanned largely as they are at the present
time There is no doubt that consider
able progress has been made under the
administration of those laws, and Yer
mont, once having outlined what appears
to be reasonable policy of school gov
eminent, should not make haste to
change the statutes although here and
there may arise some defect that seems
to demand remedying. One of the most
pleasing results has been the raising of
the standard of teaching both as to the
qualification of those permitted to en-
gage in the work and as to the compen-
sation which is given TO the teachers.
Commissioner Hillegas believes that Yer
mont is on the right track for increasing
the efficiency of the school system of the
state. His conclusions in a condensed
form are printed on another page of to-
days issue, and it will well repay the
public to peruse the statements therein
included in order that they keep in clos
er touch with the progress of school af-
fairs of the state.

A MILD WORD TO THE LEGISLA.
TIRE

II is well not to handicap the legisla-
ture with too much advice or too com
pick recommendations. Such gratuitous
suggestions from newspapers and the
general public only add to the confusion
of the duties which are new to a large
major fraction of the participants in the
law-making operation. Moreover. the
men who 60 to Montpelier are at least
of the average mentality of the state;
more often than not they are men who
have some specia qualifications which
cause them to stand out somewhat high
er than the general average of their com
munities. Hence it is somewhat pre-
sumptive to attempt to tell them what
they should do and what they should not
do during their stay in Montpelier at the
states expense, although, admittedly the
newspapers and the general public have
q right to set forth the wishes OF the
state as regards special matters TO come
up for consideration. But the general
public through the newspapers and 9th
erwise has a distinct right to urge that
the legislators be diligent in their serv-
ice. Therefore. The Times. speaking for
itself and for portion Of the people Of
the state. trusts that the men now as
sembling in Montpelier viii apply them
selves assiduously to their tasks. bring
ing to their work the same business acu-
men that they would apply to their own
