Address, Educational News Co., PATENTS A Tonic FOR INVENTIONS. Equal with the interest of those having claims against the government is that of INVENTORS, who often lose the benefit of valuable inventions because of the incompetency or inattention of the attorneys employed to obtain their patents. Too much care cannot be exercised in employing competent and reliable solicitors to procure patents, for the value of a patent depends greatly, if not entirely, upon the care and skill of the attorney. With the view of protecting inventors from worthless or careless attorneys, and of seeing that inventions are well protected by valid patents, we have retained counsel expert in patent practice, and therefore are prepared to Obtain Patents in the United States and all Foreign Countries, Conduct Interferences, Make Special Examinations, Prosecute Rejected Cases, Register Trade-Marks and Copyrights, Render Opinions as to Scope and Validity of Patents, Prosecute and Defend Infringement Suits, Etc., Etc. If you have an invention on hand send a sketch or photograph thereof, together with a brief description of the important features, and you will be at once advised as to the best course to pursue. Models are seldom necessary. If others are infringing on your rights, or if you are charged with infringement by others, submit the matter to us for a reliable OPINION before acting on the matter.

The indorsement is a writing on the back of a negotiable instrument, signed by the holder, ordering the amount therein paid to a person designated, or to his order, or to bearer. The indorsement must be written on the note or bill, but when the note has been filled by indorsements, further indorsements, if necessary, may be written on a separate piece of paper attached to the note. This is called an allonge, and is never used until the note or bill is filled by the indorsements. An indorsement consists, prima facie, of two distinct contracts; I.

A regular indorsement is one that is made for the purpose of transferring the title to the instrument from one holder to another. An irregular indorsement is one made for any other purpose than to transfer title. Then again, an indorsement may be 1. in full, or spec. ial; 2. in blank; 3. absolute; 4. conditional; 5. restrictive; An indorsement in full, also called a It compels In the former papers of this series the writer has dis-6. without recourse. cussed the three negotiable instruments which are most special indorsement, is one which makes the instrument common, viz: bills of exchange, promissory notes, and payable to the order of a particular indorsee. bank checks.

The effect of an indorsement in blank is to make he payable to "order" the legal title can be transferred the instrument payable to bearer.

The . back of the bill will then present the following appearance: all discipline. Contradictory as this statement seems to be Thomas Smith. John Jones. on the surface, it will bear examination. The seed sown more than sixty years ago by Dr. Thomas Arnold at Rugby school has been bearing fruit, and to-day thousands on both sides of the sea attest to the wisdom of his belief, that to control the boys properly it was necessary "to inspire them with love, reverence and confidence," and that being accomplished no forcible method of discipline will be necessary. His biographer Now each of these indorsers, by his indorsement in tells us that "Dr. Arnold's interest in his boys was that of blank, has impliedly authorized any subsequent bona fide a parent and it was unceasing." Who can calculate the holder to fill his blank indorsement out in full, thus mak- opportunity for good that lies in the power of a man posing it a special indorsement.

Pay to the order of Peter Prong. But if an indorsement is made in full no holder can strike it out and insert an indorsement to himself or to another. An absolute indorsement is simply one without any other conditions than those imposed by the law. A conditional indorsement is one which imposes some further condition upon the liability of the indorser than that imposed by the law. A restrictive indorsement is one that limits the payment to the indorsee, or for a particular use, and thus destroys the negotiability of the instrument. "Pay to John Smith, only," is an example of restrictive indorsement. An indorsement "without recourse" upon indorser, merely transfers the title of the instrument from the indorser to the indorsee without imposing upon the former the liabilities which the ordinary indorser assumes. Scranton, Pa. JAS. J. H. HAMILTON. their plans, the ready helping hand outstretched in all their difficulties, the words of caution and counsel that are sometimes necessary in their differences, as well as the cheering words of encouragement in all their aspirations,these form a tie more binding than the mere relation of teacher and pupil could ever weave, and they are remembered long after "the boys" have left their alma mater and have entered upon a course in that larger and more difficult classroom-the world. Only the most conscientious teacher appreciates the infinite importance of his every word, look and act, for, like the moulder with the pliant clay in his hands, he must make his impressions carefully, thoughtfully, even prayerfully, so that in after years there may be no blemish on the matured character which he has been moulding. A generation ago the subject of severe discipline was regarded as of paramount importance. A teacher was emtials consisted more frequently of a bundle of switches than ployed because he was "to flog" the boys, and his credenof a certificate of scholarship. Schools were selected by parents on account of their rigid rufes rather than the advantages of study they afforded. Demerit rolls marred the classroom walls, which are now adorned by works of art or by scientific illustrations. The relation between teacher and pupil was strained, the latter standing in solemn awe of the former as an unapproachable being. The rules, requirements, duties, demerits and penalties occupied so much of the teacher's attention as to leave little time for regular class room work. Even the hours for recreation were made happy or miserable, were lengthened or shortStep by step with the strides made in other departments ened, according to the record of the demerit roll; what of our higher institutions of learning, the subject of true wonder, then, that such a system of surveillance engendiscipline has advanced, and now bids fair to demonstrate dered, deceit, mistrust, and dislike, and when these feelings to the world what its adherents have always advocated, that are entertained toward a teacher, what are his possibilities perfect discipline does not consist of numerous require- for accomplishing the good which might otherwise be in ments rigidly enforced but that it is, instead, the absence of his power?
