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 law of school-life is therefore the law of change - Change in Child-nature. Upon the teachers of the Public Schools rests very greatly the responsibility so to direct the child's mind that he will in after life fill the leading positions in Church and State, instead of the asylums and penitentiaries. Habit and sentiment combined master the world. They master the world because they master individuals; hence we see the importance of fixing right habits and im...211 planting proper sentiments in the young. The duty of giving attention to this is imperative upon the school, because 213 of the purpose for which it was established and is main.214 tained, namely: To prepare the child for useful citizenship. 214 The following habits should be formed by the pupil during school-life. Self Direction of Effort-that essential individuality may be developed, and with it a spirit of proper indepen MORALS IN THE SCHOOL-ROOM AND IN SO-dence, and a sense of personal responsibility for public af Obedience to the Dictates of Conscience-that each may promptly yield to the higher law of right. As complemen tary to this work, the seeds of love, truth, honesty, and patriotism must be sowa in the school. The teacher must sow these seeds. James Russell Lowell says, "All the beautiful sentiments. in the world weigh less than a single lovely action." This being true, it follows that the teachers will not inculcate in her pupils right principles and morals by repeating beau tiful sentiments only. We teach consciously and by words, but we teach a great deal more unconsciously and He starts upon this bridge a possibility, he is expected to without words. From the moment the teacher comes into The school is a bridge over which the child is to pass from inefficiency to efficiency, from ignorance to knowledge, from strength to power, from impulse to reason. |
