Pears
Soap

Agreeable soap for the
hands is one that dis
solves quickly, washes
quickly, rinses quickly,
and leaves the skin soft
and comfortable. It is
Pears.
Wholesome soap is
one that attacks the dirt
but not the living skin.
It is Pears.
Economical soap is one
that a touch of cleanses.
And this is Pears.
All sorts of stores sell
it, especially druggists;
all sorts of people use it.

Department of Education.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. 3, '92.
BY the terms of the original
contract entered into with Taintor
Bros. & Co. through their agent.
the time for exchange with pupils
wns to expire January l, 1898, aud
q retail agency was to be es-
tablished in every county of the
state. But when this contract
WAS presented to Mr.. Taiutor, he
delayed signing it AID finally re-
fused to sign it. In view of the
extreme cheapuess Of these books,
being cheaper than any excellent
series of readers had ever before
been offered in this country. the
Commission at an adjourned
meeting finally agreed to strike
from the contract that portion pro-
viding for the establishment of
retail agencies in every county of
the state and to limit the time for
exchange with pupils to Septem-
ber %, 1892. With these changes
the contract was signed and the
bond made.
But in the mean time, on the
reasonable supposition that the
company would sign the contract
entered into by its agent, circu-
lars in accordance with the origi-
nal contract had been printed and
sent out in answer to a flood of III
quiries pouring in upon the state
superintendent and members OF
the commission.
All readers should be exchang-
ed before September %, 1892.
After this date, the books cannot
be had for less than the retail
price. In maLy cases, it will be
too late to exchange after school
begins in the fall of 1892. The
board of directors should take
hold of the matter at once and
make the change for their districts
either through the local dealers or
directly with the publishers
Taintor Bros. & Co., New York.
The matter of exchange with
pupils is scarcely less urgent with
regard to the other books adopted
by the Commission, for section II
of the textbook law prohibits, af-
ter September l, 1892, the use of
any other textbook in the san e
branches and of the same grade,
under penalty upon the directors
of not less than five nor more than
twenty-five dollars for each offense.
In the contract with u. III. But
ler d Co., the publishers of But
ler's Biographies, the following
sentence occurs: "The said party
of the second part further agrees
to relieve the dealers of all mer-
chantable stock held by them at
dollar for dollar" In a circular
to dealers sent out by E. Fl, But
Ter & Co. and dated January 7,
1892, [ find the following: 1--WE
would say that our contract with
your State Text Book Commission
requires US to exchange Buffers
Biographies for the merchant
able shelf stock biographies in
the hauds OF dealers. To be mer-
chantable' they should be in good
condition, containing the census
of 1890 and the new states last
admitted into the Union-North
Dakota, South DAKOTA, etc.
This Interpretation is unwsr-
rantable and is a gross imposition
upon the people. If E. H. Butler
q Co. do not retract from this
position, test case should be
taken up at once. This interpre-
tetion of the word Understandable"
would render at least nine-tenths
of all the biographies on the
shelves of the dealers worthless
Very respectfully,

A Monster Evergreen Nursery.

The annual catalogue of the
Evergreen Nurseries Of Ever
green, Wis, has been issued, and
this Office has been favored with q
copy. They now list fully three
hundred varieties of coniferous
evergreens. Some of them are
very strange and unique in form
and habit of growth. They have
been to great pains and expense to
secure seeds and plants of ever
green's found native in all parts of
the earth. If man wants ever
greens cheap but good, for
tcreens, groves, wind-breaks or
hedges, there is no better place to
go to in America. Ii man is
fond of the marvellous, strange
and curious forms iu nature there
is no other place in this country
where his fancy can be satisfied
with rare and beautiful ever
green's.
These nurseries are growing the
plants in immense numbers,
planting the seeds by the ton.
They imported from one seed
house in Germany last season
$500 pounds, besides all they
gathered in this country, getting
large quantities from Colorado,
California, Washington and all
the western states and territories.
1t is well worth any mans while
to send for their lists.

TEACHERS TRAINING SCHOOL,
shall one Be Hela9 Is 8. whsrsg

Editor DEMOCRAT: What are Pope county teachers doing to meet Prof. Shinn's proposition of holding a training school in June in our county? It seems to us they are about to adopt a do-nothing policy. This is the best opportunity that has ever been offered us for advance ment in educational knowledge and surely it will not be allowed to pass by unimproved. When we reflect that at least four-fifths of Pope county teachers are young men with little or no experience in the great art of instructing the young, and know but little of the great and re- sponsible duties that devolve on in structors of the young, r!sss5 Tie import ance of such training is readily ap- parent. It is necessary to do what we do quickly, and as one who is ever interested in the upbuilding of our country and it's institutions, and as teacher who is in favor of all advance movements in education, we appeal to you brother teachers to sit down at once and respond to Prof. Fry's card and tell him where you want said school located, how much you are willing to contribute to- wards raising the $60 necessary for us to raise, and let us have the school on Prof. Shinn's liberal propo sition. It seems to us, an outsider, that as Atkins and Russellville are two of the most available points they might help us some in raising this amount as it's location at either place would certainly be decided and would be worth many times that amount in dollars, laying aside all other considerations Speak out and let all speak at once.
