Reader, Deedsvlle, Ind: An amendment
to Section 45O1 of the Indiana school law,
approved and in force Feb. II, $685. makes
it unlawful for any township trustee to
contract with any teacher to teach in any
common school if the actual term of such
teacher does not begin before the expiration
of the term of Office of sls'ch trustee. Every
contract made in violation of the pro-
visions of this section shall, as to the town
ship represented by such trustee, and the
school fund thereunto belonging, be abso-
lutely void, but such trustee shall be per-
sonally liable to such teacher for all serv-
ices rendered under such contract, and for
all damages which he may sustain by rea-
son thereof.

thought ought to be compensated with $780,
600. He had announced his intention OF
suing for damages In this sum. when the
company offered to compromise, and a ne
gotia-ion followed. which ended in Mr..
Mansfield's accepting $3.50 il. full of all
claims. The difference between his original
claim and the amount which he accepted,
s97,50O, probably represented the difference
between his own estimate of the damages
to which he was entitled and the amount
which the attorneys of the company were
able to convince him that jury would
probably award. Assuming that Mr.. Mans
field at first really thought that the in
jury done his wife and himself. bodily,
mental and nervous, entitled him to 100000.
one is Led to believe that his final accept
ance of $500 must have been due to dis
covery that courts and juries are apt to
estimate damages done to actors and
actresses by the same standard which they
apply to other people. Happily, under our
free and enlightened government, the feel
ings and the nerves of people who walk the
stage are no more sacred or valuable than
those of people who walk the earth.

Another socialistic community, and one
of the oldest in existence, has been
added to the long list of failures. The
members of the Icarian community, near
Corning. Ia, have decided to make di-
vision of the property and disband. The
community, which was founded by emf
grants from France, has been in exist
ence about fifty years, and was conduct
ed on extreme communistic principles as
to labor, earnings, property, etc. Its
failure furnishes cumulative proof that
individuality is a stronger as well as a
healthier principle than socialism.

An article in an exchange is headed "Wom-

thought, have reference to ladies suffering
from double dose of the prevailing malady,
