Query.-Is contract binding, made
between school directors and teachers to
the effect that if teachers do attend In
stitute, they will not take the time off
their term answered by w. N. Seibert,
ESQ.,: Such contract is void, because
against public policy, and the teacher is
not bound by it. Mr.. Edgar presented
further question: What effect has the
argument that the waiver of the exemp-
tion law by individual, proves that a
teacher can waive? answered by Seibert.
That is no argument, the exemption law
is for the personal. benefit of the indi-
vidual he can waive his personal privi-
lege, but he can not waive that which is
not for his benefit, but for the benefit
of the public, as Institutes are. Question
! by G. G. Palm. Are not Directors a
part of the public answered by Seibert
"Yes but that avails not, as the law is
mandatory on them to allow the time.

Miss Sanford. A talk.-Adjourned
Up. M. Wednesday evening.
Music, Meek and Lowly."
Lecture by Miss Sanford. The "Chil-
dren at Home" She called attention to
the fact that too many children do not
receive that training which would fit
them for useful, noble life. That pa
rents are so engrossed in business and
providing for the physical wants of
their children, that they neglect their
souls. They are not gentle and tender
as they should be, and so shut out from
their homes and hearts, the glory and
blessing which love brings.
1t is not riches that makes q happy
home, but thoughtful kindness and un-
selfish devotion to the happiness of
others. 1t is of vital importance that
children be taught obedience, lesson
which is sadly neglected. The stability
and glory of our nation depends upon
the habits of obedience formed in child
hood. Parents should study the dispo-
sition of their children.
