The Madison Democrat.

Being about to enter upon another
year of its successful career, the at
tention Of the reading public is di-
rected to the MADISON DAILY DEMO
GRAFT.
1t is independent and progressive.
1t is Democratic, but leader of the
new and rapidly growing element of
the party. 1t is a spicy newspaper; it
is clean and elevated in character.
During the legislature it will con-
tain the earliest and most accurate in
formation concerning legislation and
eorrelatiye subjects. The manage
ment will make this journal more ac-
ceptable than ever during the winter,
and have decided to place the sub
scription rate at the low price of so
cents per month, postage prepaid.
This is certainly cheap newspaper.
The WEEKLY DEMOCRAT, the larg-
est newspaper in the state, is $500 per
annum.
The Democrat Printing Company
neither offers cheap chrome ''premi-
ums," nor employs other fraudulent
eatch-penny means for securing sub
scrihers, 1t gives value received in
the newspaper. The rapidly growing
circulation attests the wisdom of a
strict adherence to this policy.
The patronage of the reading pub
lie of Wisconsin is respectfully solic-
tied.

The River Falls Public School.

The River Falls Public School en-
joys the well-earned reputation of be-
ing one of the best of its kind in the
State, and is an institution in which
our people feel just and pardonable
pride. The progressive spirit that
prompted the erection of the hand
some and commodious structure dedi-
Gated to its use is reaping rich re-
ward in the superior excellence of the
school, which we took occasion TO Wis
it on Friday last. In the selection of
Principal the Board has been partic-
ularly fortunate in securing the servi-
ces of Prof. Hosea Barns, who seems
to be admirably fitted for the work of
an educator. In this connection we
will also say that what is true of the
Principal applies as well TO the eff
cient corps of assistants by whom he
is aided. Under the friendly guild
ance OF Prof. Barns we found time to
spend few minutes in each of the
different rooms and were much graft
fed to note the excellent dicipline
which seemed to prevail throughout
the entire school. as we'll as the mani
fest interest of both teachers and pu-
pills in the work before them. The
Principal possesses the happy faculty
of restraining his pupils and securing
their cordial cooperation 10y appeal
ing to their better nature and their
calm conviction of what is best for
their own interests, in consequence of
which his room is model for mental
culture, department and discipline.
The school was closed for the fore
noon by musical exercises in the Prin-
cipal's room, the entire school, with
the exception of a portion Of the pri-
mary departments, fling in and out,
to music, with the precision of train
ed militia-men. The attendance of
students from a distance, who are re-
CURED to pay tuition, is evidence of
the high appreciation in which the
school is elsewhere held. We can
close this article in a manner no more
appropriate than to urge upon patrons
of the school the benefit to be derived
from paying it an occasional visit.
Teachers will be pleased to see an
interest in their work thus indicated,
while your children will be melted to
nobler and greater efforts by such
manifestation of your interest in their
welfare, hopes and aims.
