parent IS the conviction that the
state IN providing for the establish
ment of her schools, prescribing the
subjects to be studied, and compel
ling her youth to receive something
Of their benefits, requires something
more at his hands than special
training of children for various bust
ness pursuits that the training for
intelligent citizenship-the only JUS
tifcation the state can have for in
reference in any way with the mat
ter of education-requires something
more than training for business
Could the teacher act upon the belief
that those processes of training best
adapted to meet the wants of bust
ness taken together with other meth
DDS which he finds useful, would
secure just the kind of culture
which he believes necessary for citi-
zenship: and could the parent be
persuaded that all the possible in
tellectual yigor that the teacher can
by any means develop will greatly
aid in the successful pursuit of any
studies designed to prepare for bust
ness-the existing conflict of pur-
poses would disappear, and the par
ties occupy common ground. The
teacher who can see nothing in the
opinions and aims of the parents of
his pupils worthy of his considera-
ton is not qualified for his business.
The parent who preceives no other
object in the maintenance of public
schools than to prepare his children
to be sklllful salesman, accountants,
o. mechanics fails to comprehend
the scope Of system public edu-
cation.

The Chicago Tribune has the fol
lowing to say on the departure Of
Postmaster General James from the
Cabinet:
Postmaster-General James refused
to resign because Conkling and Platt
did. He told Arthur at the time
that he was 80 years old and capa-
bic Of acting on his own judgment.
For remaining in the Cabinet he
was marked for Boss ostracism, and
when Guiteau put it in Arthur's
power to remove him it was we'll
known that Conkling would demand
it done. He is now out, and the
office is in the hands of a man not
possessing q hundredth part OF
James fitness for the place. He
has left behind him record how
ever. that can't be removed nor
will it fade. He stopped two MILL
ons a year of star-route stealing and
has made the Post-0ffiice self-sus-
taining-a thing it has not done be,
! fore in thirty years.

MINERAL POINT; Wis, Jan. 2, 50

J. H. TERRY, Esq, Mineral
Point, Wisconsin. ~ Dear Sir:-I
was very much pleased when | read
your common-sense letter III the
DEMOCRAT, of the 30th ult. | agree
with you, that every young man
ought at least to know some Of the
principles of Book Keeping, in order
TO keep his accounts understand
ingly, and any sane man who
would pronounce it unimportant
must be practical fool. There are
scores of young men who have not
the means to go to commercial
college, and consequently, are de
barred Of this great privilege, Of
learning at least some of the princi-
piles Of Book Keeping, which in after
life may be of great benefit to them
IN every day life. AS to time. omit
some other study two or three times
n week-Geography, or some other
study you might in your judgment
think best to omit; something far
less important than Book Keeping.
| have seen scores of men who could
write legibly, yet did not seem to
have the remotest idea of how to
keep accounts, fill out a draft or
note, or other business form, and
were obliged to ask some person to
do such things for them. | hope
you will agitate the question, and |
am sure any sensible parent who
would oblrct to it, has indeed a very
contracted idea of business. If /
can help in any way to forward this
very important object, | shall very
willingly do so.
Very Respectfully,
The above letter, written by one of
the citizens Of Mineral Point Though
probably without any view to pub
llcation) is inserted here for the
reason that it suggests several topics
Of sufficient importance to claim the
attention Of teachers and parents.
BY way Of preface, it should be
stated that the article alluded to was
written By Mr.. Schellenger, and to
him belongs the credit for the opin-
ions therein expressed.
10 teachers, letters like this can
not be other than a source Of graft
tlcatloI, not from the mere fact of
indicating harmony Of opinion, by
the reasonable teacher they would be
held in equal esteem though they
expressed dissent but because they
show a deep and active interest in
the work going on at school. Such
expressions Of interest come at too
long intervals to be passed over by
the teacher as commonplace occur
rences. His faith in the generally
received notions regarding parental
affection leads him to the belief that
interest o. TINS KIND exists, but his
experience teaches him that its man
l!estatlon IS quite as apt to appear IN q
form calculated to neutralize his best
efforts rs any other. 1t Is no extra
ordinary thing for him to discover
now ana then sudden and aston
lshing awakening Of parental sollc-
itude, oven ~ cases where all his
previous efforts had failed to pene-
tfate what seemed an lnvulnerable
armor u indifference, but his expe-
rIence teaches him that spasmodic
exhibitions Ike tins often proceed
rom wrong motives, and that they
are not 81 the sort that IT IS safe for
HIM to count upon for sympathy and
cooperation. Only that which has
a permanent place IN the thoughts
and plans Of the parent, and is man
Tested from day to day in his inter
course with his children can be

A Wrana Idea.

Many persons having gotten the
wrong idea that hops are strength
ening, have taken to drinking beer
and ale very freely. The conse-
quence is they feel better for short
time, but when tie reaction comes
they are much weaker than before.
Reader, if you value life, lay aside all
malt and alcoholic beverages and
put your trust in that temperance
preparation, Of iron and vegetable
tonics called Browns Iron Bitters.
It gives real health and strength to
every part of the body, refreshes the
mind restores the nervous system to
its proper standard. Over 100000
