ALLOTMENT OF fi1E.
BIZ s. BROW.

Some time has elapsed since an arti-
Gle by G. G. Mcintyre appeared in the
'.Ed. Column" of the JouRNAL relating
to the allotment of time. As no one
has replied to Mr.. Mclntyre's criti-
cisms. propose to Join in with him
and carry the criticism farther, even
to the .Course of Study
In the daily program, Dn page Al. by
computation, we find tie recitations
in each reading class il the Primary
Form, allowing that eact reading class
recites arithmetic and geography, to
occupy time as follows: Primer, 55
minutes; First Readet, As minutes;
Second Rra,le', IS minits. The reel
tatIons in Middle Fosm occupy 80
minutes. and in Uppei Form lilo min
utes. This allotment We consider
unequal, because small pupils lea n
most by reciting- little by study, and
are incapable OF doing much witt, n
work. We do not think the pupils in
Primary Form should have longer
recitations but would suggest the fol-
lowing changes, to.wit: Have First
Reader recite once more, time 10 min
utes. Form two classesin Oral Arith-
metic, both classes TO oecupy 20 min
utes. Ti,is will add Is minutes of
time to Primary Form. Let this time
be- taken from geography, grammar
and spelling in Upper Form, having
the two former classes occupy 90 min
utes of time and the latter 10 minutes.
We do not expect an! one to adopt
our views, but would like to see the
question discussed further.

SALICYLICA is known as common sense
remedy, because it strikes directly at the
cause Of Rheumatism, Gout and Neuralgia,
while so many so-called specifics and sup

that outward applications, such as rubbing
with oils. ointments, liniments and soothing
lotions will not eradicate these diseases
which ar the result of the p oisoning OF the

1.-The Government Belongs to Its Friends "

The Jacksonan creed, Governor Butler told
his friends at the Revere House banquet, was
not, "To the victors belong the spols. but 1.-The
Government belongs to its friends This is IA
less abrupt statement of the article of the DEM
ocratic faith than the generally accepted version
but in practice it means the same thing and
brings forth the same results, as can be seen BY
referring to the Administration of General Jack
son. Acting upon the theory that ''the Govern
ment belongs 10 lis friends General jackson
made one Samuel Swartwout Collector of the
Port of New York soon after his inauguration
At that time he was notorious as Il spendthrift
and a reckless stock gambler, and was without
credit or character His appointment was
made with a full knowledge of these facts. He
was an active friend of the administration. and
as such part of the government belonged to
him. His default began as soon as he was
fairly in Office For years it was known by the
authorities in Washington. From 1884 to 1887
he filed no official bond, so good friend of the
Government was he. He served eight years
until his second term eXpired-and when he
finally escaped to England 81 DO, 705 of the
money of that Government which ''belongs to
his friends had been appropriated by him and
was past recovery. This is, indeed, practical
application of Governor Buffers revised creed,
