THE MoFFETT PUNCH REGISTER
A bill OF injunction was fled an
the United States Circuit Court be-
fore Judge Hughes, by David G. Yueng-
ling, jr., Of New York against Fountain
D. Johnston, of Culpeper, the manufac.
turer of the Moffet punch, to enjoin
Johnston and all other persons against
using the same.
The bill charges that Moifett's regis
ter is an Infringement Of the patent which
was taken out some years ago by Vim
cent Fountain, of New York, for what
the inventor called his Fare-Register or
bell-punch. The following facts appear
from the papers filed with the bill The
right to the exclusive use of this Foun.
tain punch in Virginia was sold last
March to Yuengl.ng. When DR.. Motfett
applied for patent for his punch at the
Patent Office in Washington, two Or
three months ago, his right was contest
ed there by Fountain and Yuengling.-
Each officer of the Patent Office, whose
duty it was to pass upon the question
thus raised, decided in favor Of Foun-
tain and Yuengling.
In due course the case was referred to
a Commission or Board Of Appeals, APP
pointed by the Commissioner Of Pat
ents. This board had the question IN
der examination for some weeks, and
on last Monday agreed unanimously that
Mohett's Punch was an Infringement OF
Fountains. and reported accordingly.
Mr.. Yuengling lost 10 time, after this
decision, in filling his bill Of injunction,
and presented it yesterday to Judge
Hughes, coupled with a motion for a
temporary injunction. The court fixed
the 4th Of September proXimo, for hear
ing the motion, at Alexandria. and
granted an order restraining johnson
and all other persons from making,
vending or using the instrument called
the Mofett Register or Punch until the
further order of the court.
The Judge directed copies of the bill
and Of the restraining order to be serv'
ed on Johnston, the defendant, and al
so upon W. F. Taylor, the Auditor o.
Nirginia.

We were engaged at home until noon,

too late to witness the ascension By
Prof. Saum, which indeed, to them,
would have been a disappointment to

We arrived IN the grove in time to

No school can be thoroughly sue

and your recent action in approprlatlng
money to purchase these is deemed by
the Trustees highly praiseworthy. The
plan ofthe Trustees in this respect, is,
not to expend at one time money sufiic-
lent to supply the school with needed
apparatus, but from time to time to
purchase such as is most needed. In
this way the expense will not be bur-
densome and then your body might
hesitate to appropriate a large sum,
fearing that it might not be properly ex-
pended, and that whatever should be
bought with it, might not be taken care
of. This is becoming solicitude. 1t
would be folly to purchase anything fol
the school merely to have it destroyed.
Action in each case must be guided by
the care taken Of preceding improve
ments. The Trustees look with pride

instructors to preserve the school.

SYSTEMATIC TEACHING.


The fact that there is no Institution
III the State for training teachers, and
no recognized system pursued by any
body of teachers, renders it exceedingly
difficult for school of several teachers
to have one system through all the
grades, thereby entailing a heavy ex-
pense On the school for want of such
system, eyinced in the checked progress
of pupils in going from one grade to
another. The. state Superintendent has
made strenuous efforts to improve
teachers, but it will probably be many
years, owing to the.stralghtened finan-
ces Of the State, before he can acquire
means for the proper training Of teach
ers. This has been the greatest obsta-
Gle ingrading the school and it has ev-
cry indication Of being lasting one.
After two years trial Of the present
arrangement, with a careful studyof its
defects, and their remedies, Mr.. Haislip
has proposeda plan, from considera-
ton Of methods pursued in various in
stitutions, by which thorough system
may be had, and, eventually, some saw
ng Of expense. The plan is, to estab-
lish Normal Course and educate our
own teachers, and, at the same time,
to hold meetings Of our present teachers
to tamilarize themselves, by mutual
suggestion, with the best methods. A
high authority on school questions,
treating Of the Sources from which
graded-schools may derive their teach
ers,' says. that if the system is
crowned with q well organized high
school, its graduates are likely to make
the most successful teachers; and it is
from this source that 1 believe our
graded-schools are destined to draw re-
cruits to their teaching force" We are
willing to place the pupils Of our High
School Department in competition with
those Of any other High School in the
State.
All other matters of interest at this
time will be found in the appended re-
port, made to the Trustees by Mr..
Haislip.
The Trustees are satisfied with the
progress thus far made in the develop
ment Of the school, and feel confident
Of still greater progress for the future.
They have always had the coop
Grafton of your body, the teachers and
the people, for all Of which they feel
grateful.
