FACTS.

The change of the money standard
of our country was effected without
the knowledge of Congress, the Presi-
dent or the people. This statement is
coined truth. Prof. Earthman has
not brought nor can he bring forward
one scrap of evidence to the contrary.
He thrusts his bare statement against
all records or facts. He cannot point
to solitary Senator, Representative,
or editor, who can show by one little
word that he knew the effect of the
bill at the time of its passage, OF for
two years thereafter. Even the job
bers, "unwhipt of justice" that un-
dertook the villainy, are silent. The
Professor has gone SO far as to name
Congressman who ''dlScusSed the bill
at length" and have proven by his
own wltnesses-these same Congress
men-that they knew nothing of the
bill. He talks OF records that do not
exist. In short he is entirely mistak-
en- as any one by taking little pains
can soon inform himself. Perhaps it
would be more courteous to say that
the Prof. started out in the wrong di-
rection. and would rather stay where
he is than to retrace his steps.
Silver was demonetiZed by fraud and
stealth, but was restored openly and
honestly; and, contrary to Prof.
Earthman' expressed views, silver
has appreciated in value. gold has fall
len to par-for the first time in sixteen
years-and the long looked for curren-
cy trinity is at hand. "'Nothing more
seems to be necessary. and thanking
you, Messrs. Editors. | will subscribe
myself, Respectfully yours,

SCHOOL Law.

The essay of A. P. Weld, ESQ.,, at
the association at River Falls, con-
tanned many points of vital interest to
teachers. We have taken the main
items from the secretary's report. and
submitted them to him for correction
before publishing. He has made some
additions and we hope that teachers
will read and profit by the propositions
laid down. Fl. S. b.
The teacher should know that the
matter of contract has been discussed
at legal board meeting. 1t should
contain the number of weeks or
months during which school is to be
taught, and the wages per day, week
or menth, and days counted FOR q
a month.
No order can be legally given by the
board to the teacher for his wages I'M
less the giving of such order has been
determined at legal meeting of the
board. The fact of hiring a teacher
does not give legality to orders given
without authorization at legal board
meeting. The teacher is not obliged
to travel about the district to the va
rious officers for his order. 1t is their
duty to tender it to him. The teacher
may demand his pay of an officer of
the district on the conclusion of his
contract term, and it is the duty of
the district board to provide legal
means of payment.
1t is the duty Of the district board
to be present at the last day of the
term and if the contract on the part
Of the teacher is performed to pay
him.
The right of the teacher to innict
corporal punishment has never been
denied by any legal authority. The
parent by sending his child to school
legally delegates that right to the
teacher--and many other rights. But
it must be reasonable and not perma-
nently injure OF MAIN the pupil, or
else the teacher will be held for dam
ages. Parents. also, are responsible to
the law for an abuse of this privilege,
in the same way as teachers.

THE completion of hard money
league ut Chicago on the 18th inst, is
an en- raging indication that the fall
lacio' positions of the advocates of
an leemable greenback currency
are met with a systematic and
org ed effort. In the Northwest,
at 70 :, we are of the opinion that
party ties will, to a great extent, be
sundered and that many will be gov
erned solely by the currency question
in casting their ballots. The masses
of the Democraticparty and the liberal
and dissatisfied Republicans will make
up the Greenhack party while the
principles of hard money will be sus-
tanned by the majority of the Republic
can party and the honest money DEM
ocrats. The organization of the Hard
Money League is designed to dissent
nate among the people information of
a reliable nature upon the financial is
sues of the day, that this question may
be better understood to the end that
all classes may be benefited and the
government credit sustained. Hon.
George W. Allen, of Milwaukee, is
President of the League and Thomas
M. Nichol, of Chicago. its Secretary.

The pupils of George Mcintyre, Hal

come very near perfection in their pc.
sition while reading. Both primary
and advanced classes excel.
WE found one school in which the
Intellectual arithmetic was used as "A

correct certain errors. Another teach
er used Ayers almanac for change.
Results favorable.
WE found j. r. Elliott, Morgan
district, Diamond Bluff, doing notably
well in the direction of map drawing,
in teaching language and composition
rather than technical grammar before
the mind could digest it, and in giving
attention to expression in reading.

THE project of starting an evening
school in River Falls, for those who
have no taste for ordinary school, but
who can learn something in an indus
trial line, rs the use Of simple tools, is
receiving some thought. Similar
schools are in operation in Boston,
known as ''Whittling schools, and the
success is nattering. Talk with j. w.
Gordon for particulars.
NJ. j. BAIRD, Martel Village school,
with mixed books in geography has
written examinations in that branch
which show good work. He used
questions of his own, with a general
topical plan. Pupils interested before
school, and at work, point toward a
conclusion that the teacher whose
heart is in his work will scatter that
feeling as contagious disease. Sixty
