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.

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. '

"Tlie history of education In all ages ,
ni all countries among the savage
tribes and civilized people , among the
churches \\lio believe In the ritod of
i.'onfoi nuitlon the most consummate
care is bestowed upon the child at
this critical transtormaUoii. 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.
The Kind Every Housewife Likes to
Have on Her Table Seven Days
a Week.
"How to Make Bread , " Is a little
book that every bread maker ought
to own , and can own. The North
western Yeast company of Chicago Is
sending It free to any housewife who
writes for it.
This book tells some facts about
the art of making bread that are new
even to the most experienced. U
says , and proves it , that the secret is
In the yeast.
It shows that a pure vegetable
yeast , like Yeast Foam , which Is made
of the finest malt , hops , corn , etc. ,
brings out the nutty flavor and nu
tritious qualities of the wheat In a
new way , and makes sweet , whole
some bread that keeps fresh and good
so long as the batch lasts.
Yeast Foam Is sold hy all grocers
at five cents a package , and is having
a wide and increasing sale. More
and more the best housekeepers are
learning the virtues of a yeast that
can bo kept on hand all the year
round , that turns out never-falling
good bread which keeps their families
healthy , and makes them eat , and
eat , and eat.
