THE SCHOOL APPROPRIATIONS.
Members of the House Appropriations
Committee DO Not See Why Ii Is Neces.
sary TO shorten the school Term.

Members of the House appropriations COM
mittee who had the District bill in charge are
at a loss to know the meaning of the declara-
tion that enough money is not appropriated
for the payment of teachers of the District
schools this year, and there is some indigna-
tion at the implied censure of the committee
Mr.Wilson, the chairman of the sub-commit-
tee in charge OF the bill, devoted great deal of
time and attention to the subject of schools
and was very liberal in his Recommendations
The estimates for the salaries of teachers was
100000. The appropriation was $415, 400
a clear SIS, 900 more than was asked for in the
regular estimates. The District Commissioners
advised in supplementary estimates that the
the interest Mr.. Wilson took in the matter the
five thousand four hundred dollars above this
amount was added SO as to insure a sufiiciency.
In view of these facts Mr.. Wilson cannot see
upon what grounds. it is proposed to shorten
the school term. He says the school board
an action would be an evasion, ii not a viola
tiOn, of the law. The money is appropriated
more than was asked for-to keep up the schools
during the recognized term, ana any deviation
from this is in violation OF the intention OF the
law. They have no right, Mr.. Wilson says, to
sacrifice either ssh any part OF the term or the
any favorite high grade teachers He does not
know what private schedules the school board
may have, but the committee gave all the
money that could possibly be needed, according
to the Information they had. The com mittee
found that the board had been evading the law
by having about SO sub-assistant teachers at
salaries of $3.50 per annum. These the COM
mittee aimed to do away with, but provided for
an increased number OF full teachers. For the
year 1883 there were sos teachers at an aver
age salary of $665 per year, making the
total $685., 1926; for 1854, 525 teachers,
sss year saa shsi 81 @
average salary of S67O, making the appropria-
tion Tor salaries OF teachers, 1871 $50. The
cluding the sub-assistants, or, as the commit
tee consider them, "blind" teachers) The
committee appropriated for $40 regular teach-
ers, twenty-four more than the whole number
asked tor and sixty more than the number OF
regular teachers.

INGToN's HOME RULE POLICY.
London dispatches assert that an agreement

Harrington is still reluctant TO join a conserve
tive ministry, although he has pledged himself
TO support coercive measures and the general
policy OF the conservatives. The Parnellites
say they will never accept Lord Hartington's o
scheme, and Will fight and wait until they
have secured the passage of the full Gladston-
ian measure.
Mr.. Parnell has written letter I'm which he
says: 1.-The statements OF Lord Harrington that

Ireland or America beyond what have learned
from the newspapers. 1 have never had any
