The days of daily papers and hand
bills had not arrived. Clocks and
watches, too, were rare. The village
drummer was town crier or bellmar.
In villages the town crier announced
the hour of bedtime BY rattling his
drum, until, at a later date, bells were
introduced. BY raising flag or beat
ing a drum in these earlier times the
hour Of Sabbath service was announced.
Sometimes a good deacon, with cooked
hat and small clothes, solemnly beat
the drum from hill to hill on Sabbath
morning; In primitive New Haven the
Sunday morning drum was beaten BY

RIGHTS OF STUDENTS.
An Interesting Case Decided by the MI
souri, Court of Appeals.

An Interesting Case Decided by the Mis-
souri, Court of Appeals.
A matter of interest all over the
United States has been decided by the
court of appeals in Missouri. A lady
student of the State Normal School at
tended a party without the consent OF
the faculty and was expelled from the
institution because of her insubordina-
tion. The father of the young lady
took the matter into the courts, and as
result the faculty has been ordered to
restore the name of the young lady to
the rolla
The point at issue in the Missouri
case seems to be as to whether or not
the management of State institution
of learning has the power to regulate
the details of the private life Of students
outside of hours of school labor. The
court decides that in this matter the
parents are the only arbiters and that
they alone have the right to say how
their sons and daughters shall conduct
themselves-of course-within the linn
its of propriety and right. The deci-
sion is q just one.
College faculties sometimes over-es-
innate the degree of their responsibility.
They seek to regulate the existence ol
students at all hours. and are guilty of 8
grand error in so doing. College stu.
dents are ordinarily of an age when an
attempted complete suppression OF al
animal spirits and all instincts results
in some impulsive outbreak which may
be dangerous. 1t has been demon
strated that in those institutions o
learning where. advice is substituted
for strictly enforced rules the demeanol
OF the students is such as to compart
favorably with that of the students il
more vigorously conducted colleges
Faculties, however, have their owl
ideas, and they are not always OF tn
practical, common-sense world.
In the University of Michigan, il
Cornell, in Heidelberg, and in othe
great universities which might be men
toned. the students are scarcely unde
control save during recitation hours
and the result is not immortality no
even recklessness. .Selfrespect take
the place of insubordination. The Mis-
souri, court has shown good sense.

HINTS ON ADVERTISING.


The Importance of Having Announce
ments written Up in Good style.
The preparation of the copy for an
advertisement is a matter OF import
ance, and a subject for study. The time
now is when the bare, tame and stereo-
typed advertisement is considered by
the wide-awake advertiser as OF little
real value. Chestnuts are as little APP
preciated by the reader as by the ad-
vertiser. The advertisement of to-day
must be unique 1t must not only at
tract attention, but it must also inter-
est, SO as to hold the attention until 1t
is carefully read. In aword it must be
newsy, or very novel. The average
country merchant can not write such an
advertisement None are better aware
of this fact than himself, and he hates
to attempt the task.
The newspaper man who has tact sees
this point and very often secures a gen
erous order and perhaps a longtime
customer by preparing in advance a
well-written advertisement, and one
adapted to the whims or hobby OF the
merchant The order secured and the
advertisement running regularly, it is
we'll, according to my experience, moi
to forget the new patron, but on the
contrary, cultivate his acquaintance
hold up the points of display or posi-
ton, and see to it that the advertise
ment is kept fresh and seasonable. This
plan followed up, ten to one the pub
Usher has secured a permanent Gus
toner.
AS an example of the Importance o
properly written advertisement, i
has come to my knowledge that Bos
tor man has lately surrendered lucra
tive position in order to make bust
ness of writing advertisements. Hi
terms are moderate $40 an hour
and his time is so fully engaged that h
can not fill his orders. Many larg
firms understand this matter so wei
that they are satisfied to pay salaries o
from S., 900 to $1,000 a year to expert
who do this work exclusively. Th
gentleman referred to goes SO far as t
say that the value of the medium i
which an advertisement is to appear
of secondary Importance; tits the mar
ner in which an advertisement is wri
ten and worded which governs Its valu
, or worthlessness. National Editorii
