THE CIRCUIT JUDGEsHIP.

The convention held at Menomonie
last Thursday nominated Henry S.
Cousins, Esq. of Eau Claire, for the
office of Circuit Judge, III opposition
to Judge Bundy who is candidate for
reelection. While we have hoisted
the name of the latter and have no in
tention of hauling it down, and while
we have given our reasons for support
ing Judge Bundy for reelection, it is
but fair to acquaint our readers with
the reasons given by the friends of Mr..
Cousins why the Republicans of this
circuit ought to give him their sup
port. This circuit is overwhelmingly
Republican; and as long as the Repub-
lcans have plenty of men who are ev-
cry way qualified, there does not seem
to be any reason why this circuit
should choose q Democrat, as Demo-
Gratis never dream of electing a Repub-
lican wherever they have Il majority.
Mr.. Cousins is an able lawyer, stands
high in the community where he is
best known, and is a consistent Re-
publican; hence ought to receive the
support of the Republican voters of the
circuit.
We have heretofore expressed the
opinion that politics ought to have
nothing to do with the election of ju-
dicial officers; still, as many of our
readers undoubtedly think otherwise.
we deemed it but just to make the
above statement about Mr.. Cousins
gentleman whom we should have been
pleased to support under other circum-
stances.

COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT
THE AIMS OF THE NORMAL
SCHOOL.

1t was the aim of the previous pa
per TO recognize the good purposes
with which students seek the Normal.
and to carry the impression that those
purposes will insure most satisfactory
results if proper time be taken for this
realization. 1t is the aim of the pres
ent paper to show that ignorance of
the nature of mind however, is likely
to stimulate hope of results which
cannot be realized. The farmer spends
time in rolling his fields after drag
ging; the merchant spends time in
advertising after he has secured Gus
toners; a mechanic spends time in
sand-papering after using smoothing
tools; the progressive mind spends
time and search for more truth after
some truth is possessed, and all this
expenditure of time has the definite
object of better products.
The mind is subject to similar con-
ditions mot identical conditions) to
those of material, and notwithstand-
ing youth and adult too are taught by
unvarying law of force and matter
that time is essential to desired re-
suits, youth and adult alike are suffi-
GENTLY uniformed as to mental pro-
cesses to see that 50 much more time is
a factor of mental development, as is
the time required for manhood's stat
ure more than the time required to at
tain full stature by the organism of
less complication than mans body.
To think vigorously upon worthy SUBJ
jects is the work of the pupil, and to
think vigorously and comprehensively
upon worthy subjects is the difficult
task of the Normal student. In the
work of the latter there is always in
VOWED the condition OF relevance of
matter and manner to the uniformed
mind; in the work of the pupil i'll
general this relevance is ignored.
The general pupil inquiries what is the
fact and how are it's causes and effects
related to me; the Normal must ask
those questions and another--what is
the fact and how are its causes related
to me and to mig uniajormed pupil.
The pupil studies a fact effectively,
simply as fact--the Normal studies
tile fact effectively, and then subjec-
lively too as the proper thought for
stimulus and enlightenment of the
minds of others.
The Normal undertakes to teach the
fact we'll and to teach so much manner
of teaching that fact to others, as will
give it's student q certainty of some
manner and stimulus to comparisons
of methods of different teachers under
varying circumstances, so he may ac-
commodate himself to the mobile re-
lations in which he shall find himself
But very much to the surprise of
the observer the Normal finds its stu
dents much more faeile in learning
the methods than in unlearning error
and again learning facts. 1t Will be
the purpose of the next paper to show
the chief obstacle to the work of the
Normal in relation to facts.

SCHOOL LAW.

A contract between the teacher and
district mast be in writing. No
amount of oral testimony will prove
q Contract of this kind. A verbal
cOnCrac,, then, unless the same is re-
duced to writing, is of no validity.
A teachers contract, unless the ques-
ton of hiring him has been discussed
at legal meeting of the board, is of
no account, even if signed by all men,
bers of the board. A legal meeting of
the board implies that all the men,
beers have been notified at least "a
hours previous to the appointed time.
and that at least two members are
present. Should the entire board
meet by accident. and all agree to call
the same a legal meeting, business
transacted would be legal. But if one
objects it cannot be so considered.
An endorsed certificate is of no legal
value.
A certificate granted without any
examination is invalid.
A contract expires with the certif-
cate unless the holder obtains another
one before the date of expiration.
The right of expulsion from school
rests with the board but the teacher
may temporarily suspend.
A contract is void with teacher
who has not a certificate from tile
superintendent OF the county in which
the school house is located.
A contract with a minor binds the
district but not the teacher unless he
chooses to be bound.
In the last JOURNAL I saw that the
Martel Teachers Association resolved
ssThat it is the duty of parents who
send children to school to visit that
school and watch carefully the pro
gress of the pupils.
Suppose the parent who sends his
children to school does visit that
school and watch carefully the pro-
gress of the pupils and becomes salts
fed that the school might be greatly
improved by different system of in
struction from that used by the teach
er-what then is the duty of the par

THE Milwaukee News congratulates
the people of Wisconsin upon the de-
feat of bill to relieve II. N. Smith,
Warden of the State Prison, from all
liability for a sum deposited in the
Corn Exchange Bank, of Waupun,
which failed two or three years ago.
The billin question was not defeated
and the congratulations of the News
are somewhat premature. A chapter
from the News on the ''Calkins claim"
would be interesting reading, as Calk-
ms manages to secure what he reach
es for, of the State Treasury.

The law firm of orion, Keyes & Chy-

by mutual consent. Hon. E. W. Reyes
was some years ago appointed Post
maSter.at Madison and ii. w. Chy-
noweth received the appointment of
Assistant Attorney General at the in
coming of the present administration
last January. The gallant firm brave
ly withstood these fearful inroads on
its members, but when a short time
since Hon. ii. S. orion was selected as
candidate for the Supreme Bench it
had to succumb, as with Orion nom-
ination no one was left to run their
business as a law firm. However, they
will bear with becoming fortitude the
causes which thus lead to their disso-
luton, each being well provided for.

The sine die adjournment of the Leg
islature is made the occasion, by por-
ton of the press of this State, for
some mcalled-for criticism. As it is
known that the Legislature is to meet
again about the last of May, in order
to act upon the report of the commit
tee who have the revision of the stat
utes in charge, it is asserted that, if
an adjourned session had been called
for the time specified, the extra mile
age might have been saved to the
State. This is mistake. Whether
the session in May is extra oradjourn-
ed, the following clause in the State
Constitution settles the mileage ques-
ton:
Art. ". sec. 81. Each member of
the Legislature shall receive for his
services three hundred and fifty dol
lars per annunl, and ten cents for eve
nv mile he shall travel in going to and
returning from the place Of the meee-
ing of the Legislature. on the most
usual route. In case of an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature; no additional
compensation shall be allowed to any
member thereof, either directly OF IN
directly.

DEATHs.-On Saturday last VIM. G.
Forbes, only eighteen years of age, a son
of Mr.. VIM Forbes, died at the residence
of his father, 402 Frederick street, the i'm
mediate cause of his death being hemorr-
hage from the lungs. though he had been
sick for some time. He was from Harris
burg, Pa, and had been learning the
printing business here. He was an up
right and obliging boy, and a favorite with
his employers. and though his residence
in this city had been very brief he had
made many friends. He was buried from
st. Francis Church On Sunday evening,
Father Fltzsimmons preaching the funeral
sermon. Among the pail bearers were
Messrs. Henry Lickliter, Of the ''Vir-
ginian" office; VIM. Straughn, of the
Spectator and Ellis Mills, of the VIM
DICTATOR.
On Monday last Mr.. M. Erskine Miller
lost his only remaining child, little girl
aged five years, of diptheria. 1t is only
few days since the other, an unusually
bright boy OF seven years, died at the
White Sulphur Springs, of the same dis
ease. The little girl died at the residence
of her grandfather, Gen. John Echols.
On Monday, Capt. VIM. d. GilkeIson,
formerly well-kLown conductor on the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad and the Old
Virginia Central, as well as an officer on
other roads i'll Virginia, died of hemorr-
hage Of the lungs at the residence of his
oiher -in-law, Mr. J. H. Blackley, No

A Wait Found.

About O'Clock Monday morning Mr..
John Cline, No. POI Middlebrovk Avenue,
who had but recently had an addition to
his family, was wakened by colored neigh
Dor named jim Keeling, who said there was
a child out on the pavement crying. MI.
e. went out and found lying On the side
walk wrapped in a lady's skirt, III lie
child about three weeks old, dressed taste
fully and having pinned on it's clothing the
following vote:
May Godin his infinite mercy open your
hearts to take this helpless little babe to
your bosomS, and care for it as tenderly as
if it were your own. And may you at last
be rewarded in a brighter and better world
than this for your kind charity to dear
little HERBERT.
Mr.. Cline kindly took the child and his
wife took care of it. Several applications
have been made by various parties to adopt
it. The probabilities are that the babe is
not native of this vicinity and was
brought here by it's mother, evidently, from
the handwriting and text Of the note, a
person Of education who was forced by
shame or poverty to abandon it.
