appreciativo words :
"Tho essontlal characteristics of

tion iu this colunin.

thoso who havo hnd no oxporiouco

Tho usual commcnts on irregulnrity
of nttoudnnco aud laok of intorcst on
tho part of paronts nro mado. Tho
gonoral sontimont is olcarly voicod in
tho following quotations from tho ro
port of Hon. Z. S. Stnnton, suporin
tondcut of schools, iu tho town of
Roxbury.
In rcgnrd to tho gonoral olllcioucy
of tho schools ho snys: "It is only
tho ill-informed thnt cnn say, 'Our
schools nro not as good as thoy nsod
to bo. ' Thoy aro fonr fold bottor and
if a pupil will avnil himsolf of nll
thnt may boobtained iu our schools,
ho can go forlh into tho world with n
fair, prnctioal educatiou a much bet
tor ono than tho avorago district school
tcachor of tliirty years ngo, possesscd. "
Ho speaks in strong torms of irrcgn-
glar attendauco nnd of thonpparout ut
tor disrcgard of tho childron's own
best interests by thoso who should
havo thom most nt hoart tho paronts.
Ho says: "I nm not nssorting this is
tho caso with tho majority of thoso
sonding pupils to our schools, bnt it is
tho caso with too many. Thrcats of
prosecution, calls upon tho truant ofll
cor, nnd porsoual appeals havo to bo
used to provout children boiug robbed
of thoir bost worldly ostato n good
pducation.
" A siuglo day's non-attondanco is
fruitf ul of moro harm thnn can casily
bo ostimated. Its loss may not bo
remedied duriug tho torm. Its dnm
ngo to othors iu the clnss caunot cas
ily bo moasured.
"Nothing but sickucss rcnl, uot
feigued is tho ouly sxcuso that ought
over to bo allowed for children not
attcnding school.
"Agniu, tlioro is n mauifest disposi
tionwhcn a pupil arrives at the ago
of flftcon yoars to considor that ho is
graduated. Wheu tho poriod arrives
that tlio law has flxod when school at
tendauco is not compulsory, books aro
laid asidc. Nothing is moro productivo
of iguorauco than such a courso.

teon. Boforo that ago,. with good
trainiiig, great preparntion may bo

that ago tho pupil can bo taught to

boforo. ' '

VALUABLE BEQUEST
Tho Vermont Historical Society has
roceived from tho oxocutors of tho es
tato of Mr. Hcnry K. Klkius, an cx
ccodingly vnluablo collection of early
Vermont coins, papcr curronoy and
othor Rovolutionary relics. This in
torosting collection was bequeathed to
tho society by Mr. .Elkins who was
born in Peacham, and died iu Chi
cago, in July, 1001. Mr. Elkins was
n loyal Vormontcr and much intcrest
od in tho carly history of tho State.
His fatlier, Jonathau Elkins, was
ono of tho first settlers of tho towu of
Peacham and among tho dooumeuts
contniued iu this collection is a valu
ablo maiiuscript written by him relat
iug to the early settlement of that
towu and tho diillculties oxperieuced
by tho early sottlors iu clearing tho
country, nnd nlso nn acconnt of tho
captivity of himself and his voyago to
Euglaud uudor arrost and his expori
oncos whilo confincd iu tho Plymouth
mill prison, Laud's Eud, Euglaud.
This manuscript cousists of soveral
pages, aud among other things tells of
tho fact that whilo tho American
prisouers woro couflned in Englnud in
tho Pymonth mill prison Dr. Benja
min Fraukliu, as is woll known, ar
rauged to provido each ono of tho pris
onors with a small amonnt of mouoy
per niouth, for tho purchaso of tho
nocessities of lifo, and how, instead of
usiug all tho money for such purposes,
Jouathan Elkins purchased a blank
book and took iustruction iu matho
matics from ono of his follow prisou
ers. This arithmotio ho carefully
prosorvod and brought homo with him
to Peacham, oxporioncing considerablo
difllcnlty in hidiug it from tho ollleers
011 board ship. This book was suo
cossfully coucenlcd and is now amoiig
tho docuraents in this collection.
Probably tho most valuablo portion
of the collection consists of sovonty
flvo or oighty coins, most of which
woro issued duriug tho years 1783 to
1788, uudor au act of tho legislaturo
passed iu Juno, 1785, authorizing
Roubeu Harmon, Jr., to coiu coppor
monoy. Vormont boing tho first stato
to coin any monov this collection is
particularly valuablo, espocially thoso
coins issned in 1785, which aro now
oxccedingly raro. The collectiou con
tains specimons of nearly all tho types
and varioties of Vormont coius, is
sued in tho years 1785, 178G, 17S7, aud
17S8)aud is consequontly of grent his
toricnl vnluo.
Thoro nro nlso uuniorous raro pieces
of Vorniout papor ourrenoy, somo of
whioh aro uniquo ; also an injunction
writton upon parohmont, datcd March
1800, restraining ono Borry uuder

bearing tho great seal of tho court of

signed by Vnn Ingon, clork in chan
cory, tho Hon. Robert 0. Livingston,
Ohnnoollor, and is an iutorosting doou

gal papors wero issued at that timo.
Tlio coins and othcr nrticlesaro con
tainod in a neat mahogany caso, mado
ospooially for tho purpose, nnd is ln
bclled and will bo known as tho "El
kins collection. "
This bequest to the Vormont Histor
ical Society is wlthout douht ono of
tho most vnlunblo1 collcctions that it
has been tho gooll fortnno of tho so
ciety to recoivo fon mnny years. Tho
interest thnt Mr Elkms took iu
Vermont all'airs nnd ospeoially in tho
oarly history of tho Stato prompted
him to bring togethor this collection
of coins nnd othor articles, which ho
realized woro of great historical value,
and it is to bo hoped thnt tho exnm.
plo sot by him 'in beqnonthing it to
tho sooioty may bo tho means of mak
