do with his court and he deserved
a reappointment.
1t is understood that Governo,
Clement in making the appointment
did not consult with any member of
the county delegation now in the leg-
islature, and Senator Carr and Rep
resentative Writer'S knew nothing
about the appointment until after
it was made. Neither were any of
the local bar consulted and the ap-
pointment came as a great surprise
20 them. Governor Clement wished
TO reward Mr.. Morse for his services
which is commendatble.
The Office of municipal judge should
be in St. Johnsbury for the conven-
fence Of the county as whole and
because it can be conducted
here at a far less expense to the
state. The sheriff and states attorney
are here, and the local business be-
fore the court constitutes by far the
greater part of it.

Woman on School Board
Stirs Up Discussion

Mention was made in Mondays
Caledonian of the agitation" over
the election of a woman on the school
board. The item concluded with that
much overworked saying that it is a
wrong time to "change horses while
crossing a stream" In electing the
third member of a school board of
three, there never would come time
when you would not be crossing a
stream; there never should come a
time in a live community when there
should not be something of import
ancc just ahead to accomplish. No
tice, in the first place that it is asked
that only one woman not three be
placed on the board; and secondly,
that it is where matters of import
ance are arising in regard to the well
fare of children that woman's view
point is needed. How many fathers
left with the care of young children
have not often longed for the help
and counsel of the mother? Then
surely in dealing with SO or more
children, why should not a woman's
advice and assistance be of the ut
most Importance?
In the present instance the Office
