ing Wednesday night resolution was adopted
requesting the Mayer to use the so, 900 balance
OF the eanal-cleaning appropriation made two
years ago, in employing men to clean OUT a
certain portion of the canal this winter. In
the Councils Monday night, if we remem Der
Alright reference was MADE 10 this same balance
OF appropriation. Now, there is really NO such
balance The appropriation expired with the
Canal Commission; and even had il net expired
by limitation, there would be no such thing As
q balance" to be made available now, as all
familiar with the run of our city affairs are
aware. If Corporation appropriations afforded
basis for expenditure, our worthy Mayor
would row have the snug sum of s3U,OOO,OOO to
spend In city improvements, as there are now
on the statute books, first and last. unexecutad
acts appropriating at least that amount of
money.
As regards the canal appropriation referred

There is growing feeling, We notice, both
IN tins country and in Europe, that much of
the time now devoted to the dead languages in
college EDUCATION is very unprohtably spent.
In England there Is disposition to make
DECIDED reforms In classical education. The
modern languages are gaining favor amongst
the University men there; and it seems to be
admitted that in large number of cases Greek
has proved an utter failure Those who at
tempt to study i, ind themselves really unable
TO master II; and the want of success in Greek
lneIhes people to an untavorable feeling to
all CLASSICAL learning. This feeling has ex-
teEced 10 the mercantile and commercial world.

attaches to Greek. II is now proposed to over
throw Greek In order TO save Latin from the
common wreck, ana TO substitute French and
German for Greek. One modern language. NJ
