A BOND DECISION.
pleasure

Many years ago one of the counties in
which one) issued large amount of
bonds, Taxes were levied and the in
terest duly paid until the bonds became
due. Then under state law the bonds
were refunded: that is, the county sold
a lot of new bonds for money which
they used to pay off the old matured
bonds
One of the savings banks in New
Hampshire purchased large amount
Of these bonds, add thought the invest
ment entirely safe, A certain lady in
New Hampshire also bought thirty-fve
thousand dollars of these bonds. The
county continued to levy taxes to pay
the interest on these new bonds until
after awhile some, of the taxpayers APP
piled to the court to enjoin the county
from levying such taxes or paying any
more interest of said bonds on the
ground that the bonds were illegally
issued and void This case was finally
carried to the supreme court of the
United States, where a decision was
rendered to the effect that the liabili
ties for which the first lot of bonds
were issued were unlawful and fraud
ulent, and consequently the bonds in
valid, and that the new bonds that were
sold to get money to pay off the old
bonds. although authorized by a state
law were also invalid, as it was not in
the power of the state to authorize the
issue of bonds to pay debts that were
unlawfully contracted, and the courts
must and would protect all persons
from being compelled to pay taxes to
be used for that purpose. This decision
was final and the bonds became utterly
worthless.
But the question was not decided as
to whether or not the county officials
who issued and sold these illegal bonds
could be held personally liable for the
money so obtained.
The New Hampshire savings bank
that lost their money invested in these
bonds, afterwards failed and had to be
closed up.
Will the city of Mankato. in face of
such decision by the highest court in
the United States issue lot of its
bonds to get money to pay obligations
that were unlawfully contracted by the
late lamented city council and to pay
which no taxes can lawfully be levied
/ think it was'about three'years agothat
this decision was rendered.

RADICAL CHANGES.
Elementary Course at N0rmals
to be Abolished.
The sc" Class Is to be Cut Out After
This Year...Vacati0n in Winter
Instead of Summer.

The state Normal school board
held a meeting in st. Paul Friday.
Thursday the special committee on ar
rangement of courses held session and
acted on several important matters At
ter a long discussion, an agreement
was reached to recommend to the board
today that the &c" classes in the Man
kato, Winona and st. Cloud schools be
discontinued forthwith, except as to
pupils now entered in them.
An exception to the requirements for
entrance is made in favor of teachers
already holding second-grade certifi-
Gates who may have taught with ability
and success for six months. These may
be admitted to take any classes for
which they may be fitted and to receive
diplomas on their work if they COM
plete any of the prescribed courses.
The committee recommends in &C
cordance with this report, that the
presidents revise their courses to agree
with the standard of admission as thus

other end to give professional training
of the highest order" and to continue
academic studies from the point where
the high school leaves off.
1t was agreed unanimously to abolish
the elementary course of three years for
which an inferior diploma is now
given. AS that has been conducted it
enables pupil to do work about
equivalent to the common school edu-
cation with one year of normal study on
top of it and to receive diploma that
purported to be normal school
graduation.
There is an elementary graduate
course that is another affair. This is
for years practice work and theory
study for graduates of high schools.
They may stay two years and get an ad-
vanced diploma or one year and get an
elementary diploma.
In the meeting a plan was to be.
discussed to change the summer vaca-
ton in the normal schools to the win
ter. That would save fuel for one thing
and would give one of the advantages
that was urged for the continuous SEES
sion, that of opening the school to teach
ers who are engaged in the winter
One month of the summer term could be
called summer school, perhaps, and
the normal school appropriation would
be helped out that much without de
priving the summer school fund, they
argue, of any money that belongs to it
or the summer schools of any of their
effectiveness
