If the word “dues” could be construed to include an estate in lands, or if “discharges” were given for interests in realty, this argument might be persuasive; but obviously the clause admits of no such meaning and was designed to confer no such power. It relates to money demands which often prove uncollectible; whereas, the interest of a minor in real estate can be certainly recovered. The statutes in regard to the duties of guardians and curators receive a strict construction and are not allowed to embrace matters not clearly within their terms. Horine v. Horine, 11 Mo. 649; Beal v. Harmon, 38 Mo. 435; Woods v. Boots, 60 Mo. 546.
