SAVE TIME.


There are few teachers who do not
call every class to the recitation seat,
but allow them to remain in their reg
ular seats and stand only to recite.
We desire to urge this course upon all,
when not absolutely impossible.
TO make this convenient. the pupils
should be seated by grades. For in
stance, let one tior of seats be occu-
pied by the third reader; one by the
second, and so on. Ii there are not
enough tiers for each class, then let
one grade occupy the front half of a
tier, and another the rear half. This
course will, or ought to, throw those
together who recite together in all
classes. When blackboard work is
required, those working can leave the
seats, and return at the close of the
task.
The advantages of this course are
numerous. When the plan is adopted,
the teacher can pass from one recita-
tion to the next without the loss of a
moment. Nearly a half hour is
lost in class movements, daily, when
recitation seats are used. Again, the
teacher stands facing his school. near
ly all the time, no small gain in some
cases. There is no noise, nor confus-
ion to call attention from study.
viii not all try it, short time, and
if il proves satisfactory, adopt the plan
permanently Report progress.
ION account of the pressure of other
matter the rest of the educational col
umn is crowded out.-C. r. NJ. & Coz

THE Herald says that the JOURNAL
meekly accepts the decision OF Con-
gress remonetizing silver and the en-
dorsement of that measure by the
Republican District Convention. The
journal has protested and now pro-
tests against any fiat OF Congress
stamping eighty cents worth of silver
as a dollar or any other dishonest
''fiat, and our meek acceptance of
the endorsement by the Eau Claire
Convention of that scheme is doubtless
similar to that exhibited by the Her.
aid upon the failure of that body to
fulfill its hope that the same Conven-
ton ''might rise above the traditions
of party, and startle the country with
a bold, umequivocal declaration in
favor of the abolition of the National
Banking System.'

THE HERALD ON FINANCE.

Since the signal defeat of the Green
back party, at the recent November
election, our Ellsworth contemporary
has become somewhat sensitive upon
the Greenback question and fatty de-
mics that it ever advocated the peculiar
principles of the Greenback portion of
the opposition, as incidentally sug-
gested by us in our issue of the 7th
inst. Among the peculiar principles,
as a party. of the class indicated we
may observe: First-the payment OF
the Government bonds in Greenbacks;
second-the abolition of the National
banking system; and third-a fiat =
which says that about four-ffths of
dollars worth Of silver is dollar.
Every candid, intelligent man who has
given this subject casual thought
will recognize these propositions as
embodying the fundamental principles
upon which the Greenback party, So
called, has reared it's faith. The Her
aid gave quasi support to the bill
prepared last March by the House Com
mittee on Banking and Currency by
which it was proposed to supercede
National Bank notes by the issue of
treasury notes, and claimed that the
obvious advantage of such plan would
be found in the fact that the treasury
notes thus issued would take the place
of SO much of the Understanding
debt as should equal the National
Bank note circulation so redeemed,
implying, practically, the redemption
of bonds in Greenbacks. The Herald
boldly and Zealously advocates the
abolition of the National Banking sys-
TEN. which is the second cardinal
principle of the Greenback party, and
it also persistently champions the sill
yer dollar of 41215 grains the intrinsic
value of which is but little if any
more than eighty cents. 1t is idle for
the Herald to deny these assertions
its Greenback proclivities having been
the subject of general comment-and
if by its advocacy of the cheap money
schemes of the Greenbackers it did
not make them glad, they are certainly
impervious to all emotions of satisfac-
ton or gratitude.

STATUS OF THE LEGAL TENDER
SILVER DOLLAR.

Besides the more Jealous advocates
of the cause of honest money, men
holding conservative views upon the
question of finance as it affects the
business interests of the country will
very generally endorse the movement
inaugurated in the East to resist all
further encroachments of the so-called
legal tender silver dollar. The intrin-
sic value of the silver trade dollar
is ninety cents and of the legal tender
silver dollar eighty-three cents, yet
while the former passes for but ninety
cents the latter is current at one hun
bred cents by reason of the fact that
the law creating it provides that it
shall be legal tender dollar, while our
national law givers have not invested
the trade dollar with that dignity. AT
the time of the re monetization of sill
yer, prejudice and the tendency of
public sentiment for cheap and dis
honest currency were so strong that no
honest and just RECOMMENDATION law
could be passed, and hence the legal
tender silver dollar of 1878 is a ''fiat
dollar so far as the difference between
eighty-three cents and one-hundred
cents is concerned, and this difference
of seventeen cents rests upon precise
" the same basis as would an irredeem-
able Greenback-the "fiat of the Gov
eminent. While the Government may
agree to accept as dollar a coin
the real value of which is only eighty
three cents it cannot compel one indi-
vidual to accept it of another upon the
same terms any more than it can COM
pei the holder of any kind of produce
to sell the same for given sum. Peo-
pie are being educated to realize the
vital importance to the country of
a sound currency, the value of which
will equal the currency used by all CIV
| ilized nations, and our Lawmakers will
soon recognize the fact that the day
is not far distant when an honest and
conservative public sentiment viii toll
erateno equivocation uponthe question
of an honest circulating medium hav-
ing for its enduring basis that precious
metal upon which the entire financial
| system of all prosperous and powerful
nations is founded.

publican. In the 18th Senate Dist, COM

Taylor and Wood counties. Hon. Thos.
B. Scott. of Grand Rapids, has been re-
elected to the Senate; Hon. d. r. Bal

District, composed of the counties of
Ashland. Barron, Bayfield,, Burnett,
Douglas, Polk and st. Croix; Hon. III.
E. Houghton, of Durand, will repre-
sent the Goth District, composed of
the counties of Buffalo, Pepin and
Trempeleau; the Both District, CON-
posed of the counties of Eau Claire,
Dunn and Pierce, is represented by
DR.. A. d. Andrews, of this village;
and the sd, composed of Jackson and
Monroe counties is represented by Hon.
w. T. Price, of Black River Falls; we
might also add with propriety the 4th
District composed of Crawford and
Vernon counties, represented by G.. w.
Swain, and the 31st District, composed
of La Crosse county, represented by
Gen. G. Van Steenwyk. The above
named gentlemen are all Republicans

rience. Passing to the Assembly

Withee, of Neillsville; j. w. DeGrof,
of Buffalo; G. II. Markham, of Trem-
peleau; John Bradley, of La Crosse;
and j. Eckhardt, Jr., and r. Williams,
of Vernon, all Republicans, who with
the Senators we have named will make
up delegation which reflects credit
upon the constituency that it repre-
sents, and does not indicate any alarm
ing prevalence of Democracy or Green
backism up this way. While we have
not the space to speak at length upon
the merits of each Senator and Assem-
blyman we may say that each of the
Senators are gentlemen of more than
ordinary merit and the most of them
have occupied important positions in
legislative assemblies. OF the Assem-
blymen mentioned, Messrs. Hill and
Ingram were members of the last
Assembly and each made for himself
erediiable record, while the others
are known to be practical, representa-
tive men. With this delegation at
Madison next winter, the interests of
this portion of the State seem to be
in good hands and will doubtless re-
ceive that consideration to which they
are justly entitled.
