INQUIRER.

Your question is one frequently
raised by advertisers, who have taken
but little trouble to investigate the
same. In the first place it would be
absurd to entertain the idea for mo-
ment that a publisher of a weekly
paper, for instance, could afford to
publish an advertisement for one day
at the same pro rata which he would
charge for the same advertisement
occupying the same space for one
year, or fitty-two days, for, according
to that rule, if an advertisement OF
half a column costs 81 dollars for fit
tv-two insertions in weekly, which
is about the price charged in a great
many weekly papers, then one in
scrtion would cost the advertiser but
one dollar, which, Of course, would
hardly pay for handling the copy, far
less for setting up the type, not to
say anything about the thousand
and one expenses which each adver-
tisement has to bear its share in liq-
uidating. This rule applies to all
kinds Of papers in which advertise
ments appear so that person hav
ing an advertisement inserted for a
small fraction of a year, must expect,
in all reason and justice, to pay more
therefor in proportion than he would
il he took the same for a whole year;
consequently We find rule estab-
lislled, the propriety Of which is rec
ognized by all publishers the world
over, that if a person agrees to have
an advertisement inserted for year,
at a given yearly price, and concludes
from some cause or other, after the
expiration of but few weeks or
months, to discontinue the same, he
shall be charged "short rates." or
more in proportion than he would
have to pay did he allow it to be pub
ished for the entire year, Clinton

OF the Board of Directors Of the

Tuesday, Aug, 10th, it was ordered
that the First Primary Department
be divided so that the younger and
less advanced pupils can be heard
before recess both fore andaftcrnoon,
and be dismissed just before recess
each half day, in order that the old
or and more advanced pupils may
have better opportunities for study
near the close of the halliday session.
Although this arrangement might
properly have been referred to the
Principal for Inauguration, the sys-
TEN proposed is eminently judicious
and commendablc, and we believe it
will be conducive to the best interest
