contrary to tjie pubilo policy of this suite
for n pUbllo oftlcer to nsslgm or give a lien
upon his unearned compensation Which Is
Ktvcrt by law whether such cqmpciteatlon

tion howovtr a Cray Mhsj 105 81
If fcuch assignmont Is peimltted the
family of such oflloer might be deprived
of support from tho Htnte thus forcing
the oincer to look to some otner source
thereby depriving the Stale of the careful
and thoughtful attention that tho public
intercut demands This would bo a strong
Imliiciment to resort to methods which If
not dishonest would at least bo Inconsist

considerations which join in bhowtng the

The Cary Lumber company vs First

In order to rtx the liability or an In

bo made on tne last day of grace Article

Article 270 simply declares that three
days of graceHhall be allowed on all bills
of exchange und promlifory notes asaign

purpose of tho former article Is to pro
vide for the fixing of the liability ot draw
ers and lndorsors of negotiable bills and
notei by protes and to apply tho rules
of tho law merchant as to the time and
Place of such protest Upon the proposl
Hon that by the law merchant the bill

should then be noted the authorities
seem to us to be In entire accord Hank

Article 270 merely makes tho rule of the

son to believe that plaintiff In error was
misled by the averment that tho Instru-

The Instrument sued on was a note for

would not affect the validity ot the certl

question whiuli was made In 163t The
purpose of this act wus to prevent the
lifting or certlltaUes and shows that It
was the opinion of tha legislature that
such lifting of withdrawal of a certificate
was lawful at the time v e are of opinion
that tho Smith certificate should prevail
Tho location under which appellees claim

The above U only nn outline of sub

appoint In advnnco two Instructors for
iach subject
It is not expected that thi3 programme
should be strictly followed by any insti-
tute It ls only Intended to Indicate In
this way the amount and character of
work that nn Institute should do The
time of the Institutes should not be con-
sumed In reading papers and making
hpeeclics Thn Institute Instructors Bhould
Instruct the teachers in tho subjects stt
down In tho programme Just as teachers
in a normal school would Instruct their
classes In tho Bame subjects Tho pro
gramme should be placed In the hands of
the teachers Home weeks or months If
possible before the meeting of tho Insti-
tute They Bhould be expected to study
tlie subjects ussgnfd They should be
given tlie names of standard books that
treat of these subjects When the insti-
tute meets they should ba called upon to
form classes nnd recite upon tlie subjects
assigned If tho institute ls large It should
be divided Into sections to that the in-
struction may become thoroughly indvid
uallzed The above programme ii or
rungod for two sections one composed of
teachers holding certificates of second
grade and the other compoied ot teachers
holding first grade certiihates Teachers
holding third grade cert Meatus should be
Included In the second gride section or
they may be placed In a separate Bectlon
It is not meant to Insist that this should
bo tho bas s of classification It Is only
suggested for consideration it Is Insist-
ed however that unless ihe Institute ls
small It should be divided into classes or
sections so that every teacher may lie
called upon In each exerrlxe nnd thus be
made an active participant In the work
The old type of programme for moet
lnga of teachers ntsocations In which
the objects were chiefly social Intercourse
and mutual entertainment Is not adapted
to Institute work If the Instlute work
ls to succeed tho talking and speech mak
ing by n tew teachers mti i give way to
work that Involves active participation on
the p in or ivory teacher Tho Institute
Instructors should piennre th nmulvca not
to talk
