To Teachers.

There seems to be prevalent misun-
derstanding concerning the application of
the changes made at the late session of the
Legislature in the laws affecting teachers
in the public schools. For this reason
State Commissioner DeWolf has issued a
circular placing his construction upon the
new laws, which will be ofinterest to teach
ers or those contemplating becoming such.
For instance the Legislature amended sec
ton 4O74 of the Revised Statutes SO as to
require that no person shall be employed
to teach in the public schools who has not
passed an examination in United States
History, the amendment to take effect
September 1, 1882. The Commissioner in
terprets this to mean that any contract
made before the passage of the law (April
5, 1897 is not affected by it. But, con-
cludes the Commissioner, all teachers
making contract after April 5, 1882, to
teach school continuing beyond Septem-
ber /, 1882, must be examined in United
States History. s 6s4 IN s ls.
Section 4073 of the statutes was amended
so as to permit examiners to grant certif-
icates for Ave years to such applications
as, in addition TO the necessary qualifica-i
tions, have been four years next proceeding
their application engaged in teaching,
eighteen months Of (which experience shall
have been in one place, and such certifi-
Gates for five years shall be renewable with
out examination at the discretion Of the
Board" These changes in the laws gov
erning teachers interest not only instruc-
tors but the officials whose duty 1t II TO
employ them. ~ Bucyrus Forum.

WANTED TEST CASE. AS this is about
the usual time for the paint and oil harvest,
and so much has been said about the diff
ferent kinds and qualities Of paint, that
hardly anybody, but an expert, can tell
which is best, it has been thought best by
the manufacturers ofthe Rail Road Paints
to put up an additional guarantee as fol-
lows: TO pay 81 900 in gold to any firm
who will produce paint that will makes q
better finish, look better and prove more
durable than the Rail Road Paints Of
which Saur IL agent. A dozen houses can
be shown right In the town Of Napoleon
which have been painted with these paints
and which give The very best Of satisfac-
tion. These paints are putup id all shades
and colors in such q way that they will
positively not fade in the least without in
creasing their expense in the least.

What's the use of taking market bas.
ket down town with you when you can
put all the provisions you pay for in your
coat tail pocket. It is nothing uncommon
now to see man slip slyly away from the
meat shop with quarters worth Of steak
in his vest pocket. Ofcourse he pulls his
coat over the vest pocket as he walks UP
the street for fear some envious person
will discover the rich morsel and make
the remark that there goes one of your
wealthy aristocrats who lives on the fat Of
the land, while we poor devils have to get
along on liver and spoiled bacon. No,
don't take your baskets, it looks too
wealthy, for people win imagine you have
Il full, when, perhaps, it is stuffed with
ten cents worth Of untopped radishes and
onions, and sixteen ounce roast beef

Our old Democratic friend Jack Roddy,
of Freedom township, raised very nice
barn last week. As usual, heinvented al
most the whole township, and most all
came, there being 50 persons on hand for
dinner and supper, but Jacks larder was
amply sufficient to feed them all and there
were several baskets full left. We had an
invite but things were so that we could
not attend. Jack promises us full de-
scription of the barn, its dimentions ETC.,
when he gets it itcompleted. It was framed
by John Gretz, Of the same township, and
every piece fitted together as nicely as the
stone with which King Solomon's temple
was built. Success to Jack and may
he live long and prosper.

Pond license bill, and these same worthless
were very active in trying to defeat the

say they are not in favor of licensing the
liquor traffic and yet swing their hats for
that which the Supreme Court decided to

with his business Of farmer and brick
