THE AIMS OF THE NORMAL
SCHOOL.

by the practices of the Normal
School Reading becomes process of
oSsnmuncating ideas understanding
ly by means of articulate Sounds, and
Telescope of Reading widens sufficiently
to comprehend all science.
Arithmetic becomes the science of
numbers and it exhibits it's most per-
slstent relevances in the inception of
the appllcations,-the ground rules are
literally made the basis of all future
work in the science.
Geography comprehends all physical
SCIENCE, commencing at home with
the primary pupil. and at the Nebular
Hypothesis with the experienced stu
dent, it finally outlines the phys
ical sciences 50 that the transition to
them as set subjects for examination
in the Higher Course is easy and profit
able. The branches denominated
"higher" are taught to such students
as attain creditable standings in the
elementary branches.
The whole work of the Normal is in
fluenced by the intention of the facul-
ty to help the common schools through
work upon the teachers whose under
standing can be broadened, whose
knowledge OF facts in the elementary
branches can be made more ample,
and through the development of
thought as to approved means of man.
aging schools and classes.
The Normal recognizes the influence
of the schooling THAT students have
previously had as exhibited in their
power to do other similar work, and it
fortifes them in their credence of facts
so far as fact can at once displace error
which has been learned as fact. The
school invites the inspection of all
persons and it purposes to deserve
the commentator of average intelli-
gence.

4 RADICAL difference of opinion just
now exists between the people of La
| Crosse and Barraboo, and large in
dignation meeting was held i'll the
| former city on Saturday evening,
March 30th, for the purpose of en-
aiding the people therein to give eX-
preston to their side of the question.
The occasion for this wide difference
of opinion is as follows: 1t appears
| that on the 30th of December, 1876,
Dr., Eli Chamberlain, evidently high
ly respected citizen of La Crosse, was
assassinated by one Oscar Wissinger,
also Of that city. The provocation for
the murder seems to have been an al
| legged improper intimacy, years be-
| fore, between DR.. Chamberlain and the
wife of Wissinger. Wissinger was
| placed under arrest and committed for
| trial, but so bitter was the feeling
against him that an impartial trial in
| that city was next to impossible and
so IL change Of venue was taken to
Sank county in Judge Stewards Cir.
cult and the case tried at the recent
term of Court held therein at Barra'
boo. Some of the most able attorneys
in the State were engaged both in the
prosecution and the defense. There
appeared to be no question about the
murder, but the plea of insanity was
effectually put in and the jury return
ed a verdict of not guilty. 1t seems
that Wissinger had won the sympa
thy of the Barraboo people who made
rather indiscreet demonstrations OF
their intense satisfa ction with the yer
dict of the jury upon its announce
ment. The feelings of the people OF
Barraboo in favor of the prisoner had
been so wrought up that the counsel
for the prosecution, OF indeed those
whose sympathies were supposed to be
against him, hardly received decent
treatment at their hands. And, while
Wissinger could not have had an i'm
partial trial at La Crosse, neither was
the one Witnessed at Barraboo-tht
two localities representing the two ex
IRENE phases OF popular feeling, fol
and against the prisoner; Barraboo
possessed as eager sentiment for ac
uuittal as La Crosse did an earnest de
sire for conviction. The speeches and
preamble and resolutions of the La
| Crosse Indignation meeting will be in
teresting reading for the denizens OF
Baraboo who will mentally, if not 9th
erwise, hurl their worst anathemas al
the La Crosse Folks.

rHE JUDICIAL ELECTION.

BY the compromise entered into be-
tween the two great political parties
OF this State through their represent
atives, the election of the two addit-
ional Associate Justices of the Supreme
Court WAS removed from political
contest and Hon. III. S. Orion and Hon.
David Taylor We're elected without
opposition. Judge Pulling, of the
Third Circuit, Judge, Park, of the
Seventh, Judge Bundy, of the Eighth
and Judge Stewart, of the ninth, were
re-elected-the latter without opposi-
ton.
We trust that the emphatic majority
by which Judge Bundy was reelected
will convince those ardent Republic
cans of Eau Claire who arrogated to
themselves the mission of instructing
members of their party in the st.
Croix Valley how TO vote, that the peo-
pie hereabouts had deliberately made
up their minds to support Judge Bum
dy for reelection and that having
done this they were not of those who
would dishonor their implied or ex-
pressed pledges. We deny that the
press or people of this Circuit as con-
stituted the first of January made I'M
due haste to commit themselves in
Judge Bundy's favor. The Republic
cans hereof, one year ago, nominated
a candidate against Judge Bundy and
though it was Republican Circuit,
their candidate was ''scooped;' Judge
Bundy having proven quite acceptable
TO the people, men of all parties recog-
nize his fitness for the position, and
favored his candidacy for reelection
without regard to party, at the proper
time for the consideration of this sub
ject. And in view of the singular
unanimity in Judge Bundy's favor it
will hardly become the Eau Claire pol
iticians who undertook to force par
ty contest at so late day, and after
SO large number Of Republicans had
resolved to vote for that gentleman,
to attempt to ride out of the party all
Republicans who failed to respond to
their frantic appeals in this instance;
for, when the time comes for the cleo
ton of Congressman and members of
the Legislature, their votes will be
needed.

WHATEVER may be the differences of
opinion among the rank and file of the
Republican party concerning the South
ern policy of President Hayes, they
admire almost as one man his refresh
ing independence of the dictation of
congressman of the appointment of
Federal officials, who have heretofore
secured appointments where they
''would do the most good in effecting
tl.eir own reelection. Hayes is not a
candidate for reelection and cares
nothing for their threats or jeers, and
if they can afford to use their efforts
in elfecting a disruption of the party
and thus throw themselves out of a
Job and the country IN the hands of
the Democracy, Hayes can certainly
stand it.
