THE MADISON DEMOCRAT.

Being about to enter upon another
year of its successful career, the at
tention of the reading public is
directed to the Madison Daily Dem
ocrat.
1t is independent and progressive.
1t is Democratic. but a leader of the
new and rapidly growing element OF
the party. It's spcy newspaper; ii
is clean and elevated in tone and
character.
During the legislature it will con-
tain the earliest and most accurate
information concerning legislation
and corelative subjects The man
agement will make this journal
more acceptable than ever during
the coming winter, and have decided
to place the subscription rate at the
low price Of 80 cents per month,
postage prepaid. This is certainly
cheap newspaper.
The Weekly Democrat, the largest
newspaper in the state. Is 500 per
annum.
The Democrat Printing Company
neither offers chrome premiums /,
nor employs other fraudulent catch
penny means for securing subscrib-
ers. it gives value received in the
newspaper. The rapidly growing cir
culatlon attests the wisdom OF a
strict adherence to this policy.
Ehe patronage of the rea ling
public OF Wisconsin Is respectfully
solicited.

PENMANSHIP.

The progress made IN this branch
is in direct ratio to the amount of
interest the teacher succeeds in de-
veloping. This is little more than
4 truism-an axiom applicable to
all the subjects taught in school;
and vet If it were thoroughly I'M
derstood and acted upon by teachers,
much less time would be wasted in
attempts to teach this branch.
There Is a decided reform in meth
ods Of teaching If no schools can be
found at the present time in which
this exercise is allowed to conduct
itself, while the the teacher conducts
another. No one certainly would
look for any enthusiasm as the re-
suit of such method.
But even in cases where the
teacher devotes sufficient time to it,
the monotonous character of the
drill too often make it drudgery tai
the pupil. There is no progress
then. The learner devotes his
attention more largely to the expi-
ration of the time as it passes
minute by minute, than to the per-
fiction Of his own skill. What
means then shall the teacher use to
create or stimulate enthusiasm? A

few brief hints must suffice for the
present answer of this question.
The teacher should have we'll
defined aim in his own mind. He
is not to produce artists IN this
branch any more than any other
With ornamental penmanship he
has nothing 10 do. Legibility, first,
rapidity afterwards, constitute the
sole purpose to which he should
direct his efforts. He mistakes when
he seeks other ends than TO train the
eye to Disseminate forms and the
hand to execute. This is not an
exercise, adapted to the training of
81 the mental powers
Every effort for improvement
made by the pupil, should be
noticed by the teacher, and due
credit given. Communications will
be found much stronger incentive
than censure Frequent test exer-
cises upon loose slips will be found
useful for comparison of present
with previous exercises nv the same
pupil, and one pupils work with
that of others. Emulation is as
powerful an incentive in this as in
other branches, and a. UNSUITABLE:
hence the rank of each pupil in the
class as determined by these test
exercises may at intervals be an
nounced
Systems Of pennanship should be
taught as a means, and not as an
end. The drill OH principles, and
the descriptions Of letters should be
carried as far as they viii eonduce
to the writing of legiblc hand with
ease and rapidity no farther
Let a part Of the pupils use the
black board ut each exercise; the
practice will aid in several WAYS in
attaining the ends sought.
Abolish the distinguish between
feminine and "a masculine "

Golden takes a seat in the front.
His ancestors were yeomen of the
soil. Born June Sd, 1904, in an
old farmhouse in a sequestered
corner of West Sussex, one of eleven
children, he knew the trials of
poverty stricken home. His oppor-
tunities for education were scanty,
but his eagerness and aptness to
learn were constant and irrepressible.
Thrown upon his resources at the
age Of fifteen, he found a place as
clerk with an uncle in London.
where against the admonition Of
his employer he found and used
facilities to crafty his thirst for
knowledge Advanced at twenty to
the position Of a traveller, he began
that open-eved study of men and
things which was better for him
than the study of books, ami in
which he became an ader.. By
means of credit based on mis- char
acter, he entered into a mercantile
partnership at twenty-four; and in his
twenty-eighth year he took up the
business Of manufacturing print
goods, in which he showed such
capacity and energy as promised
him speedy fortune. But all
along there was developing in him
that generous public spirit which
characterized his whole life. Others
must have the benefit of what
ne knew and thought. He was
mpelled 70 write and speak, as
ono said "up to the top Of his knowl-
edge. At the ripe age of thirty
one he discussed in anonymous
newspaper articles commercial and
economical questions with rare abil
Ity. In the same year he issued his
first political pamphlet entitled, Eng
iand, Ireland, and America. by a
Manchester Manufacturer. Il attrac-
ted great attention. and ran through
several editions. From that time hls
influence began to be felt in public
affairs He soon identified himself
with the .Anti-corn Law movement.
III which lie was drawn into close
friendship with John Bright, which
was for the rest of his life like TIN
friendship of David and Jonathan.
In ISL he was returned to parlia
ment; and that, with the exception.
OF q brief interval, was the arena OF
his subsequent lifcwork There, il
debate. he measured swords with
men Of highest rank and renowl
and was never worsted. His elo-
quenee was not that of refined ora
tory, but that of strong clear
thought, which is the power for eflec-
tive persuasion. He was not given
TO long speeches, but was ready TO
make his point on all subjects
When Golden rose to speak, the
House stilled itself to listen, and his
could not he Indifferent.
Though strong and immovable III
MS convictions, he was not narrow
minded. His power lay in his broad,
far-rcaching views. His judgment
vas respected, and his wise states
lnanship was more and more appre-
ciated. Thus he came Ia be en-
ployed i'll DELEGATE diplomatic nego-
tiations with France Twice he was
urged 70 take 4 place in the ministry.
The Queen would gladly have
honored him with a title of nobility,
But these honors he declined, partly
from principle, but more because he
felt that the House Of Commons was
his true place of power, and he
was right; the title which best be
comes him he won for himself-the
great ConImoner.
