Case of Annie Gross , Joseph Gross , Lucy Grocs and Herman Gross Against Libble Gross and Morltz Gross Deferred Litigation Begins. The Oniuha Hoc says : The case of Annie dross , Joseph Gross , Lucy dross and Herman dross , complain ants , against Libido dross and Morltz dross , respondents , Is being argued heforo Judge Mungor In the I'nltod States district court ami presents such features as to maUo it unliiuu In the history of such cases in this state. In fact , U.vslo I. Abbot , as attorney for the complainants , asserts that the ground on which the counsel for the respondents ask for n reopening of the case are not recorded In any other case of a like nature over tried In this state or In any other , so far as he is able to learn. The case was begun by Mr. Abbot In May , 1800 , his clients claiming a part nership In a tract of 900 acres of land In Madison county and asking for an accounting of the proceeds of said tract for a term of lUteen years , or from 1SS5 up to the time of the bring ing of the action. John S. Robinson , a well known attorney of Madison , who was later elected to congress and served upon the district bench as well , was retained by the respondents and In turn employed Hrome & Hurnett of this city in the conduct of the case. The action was brought in the circuit court of the I'nited States and by that court referred to Hon.V. . \V. Mors- man as master in chancery to make a finding on the evidence- and return the same lo the circuit court on which to babe his decision. Procedure is Unique. Mr. Abbot and Mr. Bronio spent a week or more In taking the evidence at Madlbon , as shown by the record , and during that time Mr. Hohlnson dli ! not appear in the case , nor did Mr. Abbot , according to his atlldavlt made since , over see him to Unow who he The master in chancery found foi the complainants and his decision was sustained by the circuit court when the matter \sas argued on exceptions A year or two after the case as begun Allen & lleod also were cm ployed by the respondents , and througl Allen & Heed the court is now askei to rule that there was a partnershli between all the parties and that I existed not only from 1SSB. but fron 1SU9.

Artistic Job printing at The News TEXT OF PAPER READ AT WO- MAN'S CLUB CONVENTION. DELIVERED BY MRS. MEMMINGER An Excellent Discourse Pertaining to the Duty of Patrons to Their Own Public School System Printed In Accordance With Club Resolution. lly permission the following paper , which was written , and road before he district convention of Woman's lulm In this city Thursday , by Mrs. P. F. Mommlngor of Madison , Is irlnted. It IH printed In accordance with a resolution passed by the con vention , that the paper ho published n Thu Dally News : "I can not say one word that you lave not already heard , or cpioto one Ine with which you are unfamiliar , ipon this subject which rivals that mo of perpetual motion In Its over present and never falling attributes , ml I hope to emphasi/o a few things important In our loyalty , ( which means duty ) to the public school. "Long before there wns a mothers' cougresH or n woman's club llossoaii said , 'If you would recall everyone to his highest duties , begin with the mothers ; \ < m will bo astonished at the effect. ' As ( line has passed It has been discovered that the true Ideals of education thrive only when thn atmosphere of the home and the school Is harmonious , sympathetic and full of mutual good will. There Is no factor more potent than cooperation eration In bettering our schools. The best efforts of schools tire thwarted through the Ignorance and distrust of mothers , and often teachers con- eel vo false notions of affairs caused by misconceptions regarding parents' motives. One may well wonder how children escape with any original el ements of life , save that of original sin , since they tire so often held by the right hand at school and thu wrong one at homo or vice versa , and pulled In opposite directions , but it usually happens that they slip out from the grasp of ouch and limp out Into the world carrying the scars of early training. Kate Douglas Wig- gin says , 'The parent whoso sole an swer to a criticism Is ' 1 have a right to do what 1 like with my own child , ' 'Is the only imiH > ssihlo parent. ' And to him she would say as Jacques did to Orlando , 'God be with you ; let's meet as little am we can. ' There Is no teacher who will not receive crit icism If given in a spirit of kindness. Foreign critics say that American children are disloyal to their schools , mt the blame IB not upon the school ) iit upon the Indifference of the home n regard to attendance , and the en- onvor of the parent to make the road ) f learning too easy and that the hah is of application and concentration ire not cultivated. If this bo true , oyalty should lead to the Inquiry Are our IIOJB and girls growing up vithoiit the homo training necessary o respect for authority and rospon- IblllU and entering school with Ideas ) f discipline which are detrimental o any well organized Institution ? ' Mother's training of the child should tot lack In habits of industry and in trinciples to the dignity and Import- uico of the teacher's work. Their aults are frequently our faults re- loatod. Their disloyalty our disloy- ilty repeated. It was said of a cor- aln congressman that ho was very careful about his children , nnd a lelghbor who knew him well said : Yes , ho Is trying to bring them up in he way he should have gone him self. ' "Tho community that will accept cheap work by cheap teachers are llsloynl to the first principles of edu cation. Wherever and whenever yon can help educate the sentiment of the people on some of the practical needs of our school. The income of the teacher ought to bo that of skilled workmen , but Is it today enough to cover adequate expenses ? The teach er should have the assurance of per manent employment when it Is faith fully performed. The chief essential Is to till our homes of education with such men and women aso desire our children to become. Ho who has a loyal , steadfast will to learn anil love whatever is high and true anil good and fair , has within himself tlu principle and power from which edu cation proceeds , and they who roust and strengthen the will to strive through a life time for truth and jus lice and freedom and light alone de serve the name of loyal teachers. H ( who awakens and conllrms the faltl of his pupil in the priceless work o Intellectual and moral power is the host educator for thus ho turns all his energies to the life \\ork of self edu cation. Nowhere In the public school system is the need as great for the matured , experienced teacher as in those grades just below the high school , attended by pupils from 12 to 1C years of ago. It Is ignorance bor dering on crime to allow untried , per haps Incompetent graduates from the high school to attempt to guide this ago of boys nnd girls who have just reached the epoch designated as the adolescent. In tholr passing Into con scions Individuality they find re stralnt almost unbearable , nnd the typo of boy is here found who sail ! My tencher expects no good of me and I am too much of a gentlomai : to disappoint her. ' \VY nre ftoitnr ' > be Tore liberal than ever in 1TI to u crs of Lion Coffee.

The spirit of activity in mind and body must bo guarded and guided in hab its of'Self control , command over pas sions , emotions and feelings by the stimulating lessons of nobility of pur pose , loyalty to the welfare of homo , school and community and true pa triotism. Music as the essence of order and moral law will help lead these restless minds to all that Is good , just and beautiful. The wo men's clubs can do no better mission ary work when presenting books of reference , pictuies and art aids to the schools if they will put musical Instruments in the grades where gov ernment is a problem to be solved. Teachers should be In all the grades who refuse to overload and crowd a child's intellect at the expense of his moral nature. In the book , 'Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm' we read of Kin- ma Jane who could read and subtract like a streak of lightning and knew her spelling book clear through , but had no thoughts of any kind. Her teacher probably had not the judg ment of the mother who had seven girls and seven methods of training them in right and wrong. We want teachers who can get outside of books and inspire pupils with loyalty to all things uplifting. . If I could ex press my heart's conviction on the in jury wo allow to ho Indicted on our children by the grading on examina tions and the fear of failure to be promoted by the average child I be lieve thinking mothers would agree with mo that this gives the false stan dard for natural development. In Hatavla , N. Y. , nn experiment has been successful In solving perhaps thus grade school problem. It Is ac complished by having a combination of class and Individual instruction. While one teacher hears recitations in each room , ono or more special in structors are employed to go from room to room to give personal atten tion to the backward pupil who soon catches up with the bright ones and discouragement , the bane of the pub lic school , disappears from all faces. The Individual teacher If she under stands her function does not under any circumstances do the work for the child , but directs him In the achievement of learning how to study , bow to concentrate the mind , often unlearned until college is reached. It does away with so much homo study by pupils who arc lacking in scholarship. In the schools where this has been tried there Is no more complaint of overwork and nervous ness from either pupils or teachers , and there is trustworthy evidence that the physical condition of the pupils shows a decided change for the better. Club women who started the move ment of patrons' meetings have been successful In enthusing others to loy alty to schools but It will take some effort yet to Interest the kind of pa rents of the boy who went to his neighbor for advice about spending a dollar for Christmas. The man said , 'Why don't you ask your father for ' stammered 'I-I-I advice ? The boy am not very well acquainted with him. ' "Devotion to an Idea or cause gives it momentum , gains for it respect , helps others and insures success. All our children ask Is the inspiration of parents and teachers to help them to become loyal students and ultimately loyal American citizens. " YEAST FOAM BREAD.
