PROFESSOR COMFORT expounded his plan
ior tne study OF languages in colleges before
Ihe rhiloioglcal Convention in session this
week at New Haven. The question has Gre
ated lengthy discussions in the past and ;s
likely to do SO in the future. On tho ,rho,o
those who would secure reform have poinod
much, for there is a strong element of com
mon sense in the idea of a practical and p,
tional course. Tie theory of PRO-. Comfort
is really "new departure" and is worthy of
serious consideration and actual trial. His
plan is this. The primary school having
ing taught the pupil one living language, a
second, (say French or GERMANY should be
'earned two years before the beginning of a
.o.ese course. These two living languages

more year, the history of those lano,,o,' 'opno-

will commence in the last term of the sonho

and both will be continued until the end If
the College course. The highest instruction

while Pathological Associations, like that now
sitting in New Haven, will discuss mootod
problems.

Political Notes.

The Bangor Democrat hopes Superintend-
ent johnson will accept the offer ofthe place
of principal of the Rhode Island Normal
School 1t dosn't want him in Maine. Like
other Democratic authorities, it counts those
who engage in the active advocacy of educa-
tional reform among the dangerous classes"
Sheriff A. b. Spaudins of Hancock Coun-
ty announces that he is candidare for re-
election to his present office, in formidable
manifesto that seems more like the pronun-
ciament of a Mexican Chief than anything
often seen in this latitude.
His Ex-Excellency Andrew johnson has
friends who insist, that his chances are first
rate for Democratic candidate for the next
presidency; but it is now stated that Mr..
johnson is expected in Paris where it is pos
sible that he is going to avoid temptation.
1t is shown by the Sacramento Union thai
the Democratic Governor of California, now
a candidate for reelection on the anti-Subsidy
platform, signed bills granting aid to railroads
to the amount of $30,OOO,OOO, which the Dem
oclatic Legislature passed.

The DRUGoIsTs LAw.-The examination Of
druggists aid drug clerks in New York, under
the new law, is now going on The applicants
for certificates of license to dispense medical
connections are ''put through" rigid course
of questioning in pharmacy. materia medica
chemistry, practical science, the nature and
efficacy of poisons, ETC., and the examinations
so far have been generally favorable. DR.. Do.
remus, the President of the Board of Examin-
ers, in letter to the Journal of Commerce
gives the number of druggists in the city as
about 500, exclusive of the wholesale mer.
chants, and the clerks will number about $50.
Their licenses will amount to about 1922 800.
He shows the fitness of the Board for the duty
to be performed, and contends that a csrtif-
cate issued by it will prove of advantage to
the possessor within six months, after which
time it will be illegal to prosecute the business
without certificate. The effect OF the exami.
nation, be says, will be to remand incompetent
parsons and novices to more thorough prep.
aration, swell the classes of the pharmaceuti-
cal schools, elevate the profession and protect
the community.
The fact that this examination will throw a
large number of worthless and ignorant drug
gists out OF the business has led to an indie
nant protest by portion 'of the trade, and an
organization to secure the repeal of the law
providing for an examination and license.

PRESIDENTIAL VAcATIoNs.-The following
scraps OF history are worth noting. They serve
to shed some light on the wanderings of our
late Presidents. The seaside recreations Of
Gen. Grant are not new departure:'
John Quincy Adams was close and careful
administrator OF bis Office, but he took his III.
tie vacations. In 1925 he was absent from
