Patronage.

We do not like the word as COM
monty applied to newspapers. There
is no patronage where equivalents
pass between the parties. If it be
admitted that newspaper in given
community is good for nothing, and
yet is maintained by contributions,
whether called subscription payments
or something else, by the people of
that community, then that sheet is
s'patronized. And if there be such
sheet it's patron is fool. Better let
it die and a live man build on its ruins
thing of worth. But when, as we
believe is usually the case, the news
paper gives vastly more of value than
it receiveS-in many an issue a whole
volume of matter for five cents-it
would be more appropriate and truer
to the fact to say that the newspaper
patronizes it's subscribers than that
they patroniZe the paper. We want
to see the press get credit for what it
does. And we want to see it come in
the concrete. OF course everybody
admits that the press-the great
American far-off presS-iS q benefac-
tor, great educator, the voice of lib.
erty, and all that. When it comes to
the home paper, however, that is too
near to be fairly judged. 1t is the
prophet not without honor save in its
own country. Yet the newspaper is
the leading promoter of new indus
tries, the voice which calls the people
together for action in emergencies,
and in many ways an essential public
institution-in every issue perform
ing services to the public which from
their nature cannot be scheduled for
remuneration, and are still of high
value. Let every publisher repudi-
ate patronage. We must find
better name for transactions in which
we give a full consideration for all
that is received.
A certain independence is pervad-
ing the profession in some quarters
which it is pleasant to notice. We
have heard lately of publisher who
was waited upon in his office by cit
izen, who with a grand air, informed
him, that, though he already had
more newspapers than he could read,
he nevertheless thought he would
patronize the paper at home by CIV
log in his two dollars. The publisher
resented his visitors lofty style by in
forming him that he was not in need
of his money, and should not take it
on any such terms. The matter ended
in the mans taking the paper because
he wanted it to read, and in his hav-
ing a different opinion from what he
had previously entertained of its pub
Usher. People are apt to accept a
mans valuation of his own property,
especially if it be low one. 1t pays
to have a good opinion of ones self
and ones profession, if it is not high
er than it ought to be, and self-depre-
citation in business is positive weak
ness,--The Newspaper Union.

1t is said that $4,000 people die an

this disease. In some sections of the
country one death in every three is
from Consumption. This can be, and
should be avoided; our people are too
careless about an ordinary cough or

and lung affections that lead to this
disease. You should arrest it while
it is in the germ. Two or three doses

Our Duty to the Big Boys" and Girls of the
Common Schools.

Read at the last Teachers Association,
held ia River Falls. by Miss Blanche Baird.
Our Duty to the big Boys" and Girls Of the
Common Schools.
In considering duty in our work
you must decide for yourselves what
education is to this world. / have de-
cided to my own satisfaction, that, if
we are to have less reform schools,
less occupants in our jails and poor
houses, less of the crime and sin
which is filling our newspapers more
every day, less train robberies and
less Ed Maxwells, education is to do
it. If we are to have less lunatics,
less drunkards, less debauchery, edu-
cation is to do it. If we are to have
less delicate and weakly women aud
more homes that will attract and not
repel, if we are to have more hope and
less despair in our world we must look
to education as our savior.
Not the education only that teaches
the boy or girl principle of arithme-
tic or rule of grammar, but the edu-
cation that teaches them broader
manhood and nobler womanhood.
You will perhaps say that it is not a
part of our duty to tronble ourselves
with these problems of lie, that we
are only to deal with that which will
give them knowledge of the differ
ent branches usually taught in school.
You cannot teach without meeting
your pupils in the next social relation
to that of the family and no true
teacher would wish to meet his pupils
any other way.
To one who has porked with us any
length of time it seems to me the duty
is palmer than the hoU to perform
that duty.
I've thought it over and over and
this is the range of my thoughts if you
will follow me.
Before me are my pupils and am to
educate or do my part. Education, it
is broad, broad field to plow, to SOW,
to harrow, to reap. Why education is
the whole, it is not done in all the life
that we know of and have not one
but many to do this duty toward. Per-
haps have only four months of time
for my part and | must fix my part of
the duty very definitely in my mind to
accomplish it. Here the reyerie ends

Dear Sir:-The general rule of law
is that contract with minor binds
the adult but not the minor-such a
contract is perfectly valid if the mi
nor chooses to conform to the terms
of the contract.
In the case of Davies VS.. Lurton.
18th Wis. 1856, Chief Justice Dixon
gives the following opinion on the
subject:
"The privilege conferred by the
common law upon infants is personal
in its nature, and no one can take ad-
vantage of it but the infants them
selves, their personal representatives,
executors, administrators, and privies
in blood. Hence though their con-
tracts or deeds are voidable as to
themselves, they are binding upon
persons of full age"
The above seems to be the accepted
theory of the law. Truly yours,
