this is divided into two committees, the i Roman Catholic and the Protestant, J each independent of the other.Both have certain powers over the schools under their control, such as appointing school inspectors and receiving reports where complaints are made, and the power to investigate and judge upon these cases.The school system is divided into elementary, model and academy, and it is the Committee of Public Instruction that chooses books and other requirements that go to make up the needs of a school.Throughout the province each municipality has a school board or a school trustee, who manage the schools under their care and fix the rate of school tax to meet the necessary expense in the upkeep of the schools.The trustees engage teachers and assure all the responsibility-financial and otherwise, in the management.I wish to call your attention to this feature of our system as it exists in the rural districts.The men elected as school trustees are too often those who are ignorant themselves and do not fully appreciate the advantage of education and treat the matter in an unbecoming way, largely from the fact that it touches their own pockets.That is the system of elementary education as given to the children of the province.PRESENT GOVERNMENT GENEROUS.\u201cThe present Government has certainly been most generous in its expenditure on education.Eight years ngn $400,000 was spent, while to-day it amounts to $1,400,000, and through this propti schools have been erected, salaries have been considerably increased, additional inspectors appointed and techn cal schools built in Montreal and Quebec.Although conditions have improved they are very far from being satisfactory, and X speak cspepially of the country schools.While the salaries of the teachers have been increased in many Large sums of money are being spent and the result is far from being satisfactory, owing to the lack of system.The education of our children, especially in the country schools, is not producing results as it ôhould do.Illiteracy, as it exists to such an extent, is not creditable to the state.ADOPTED IN PROGRESSIVE COUNTRIES.\u201cAll progressive countries have adopted compulsory education, and those countries by so doing lead the world in arts, manufactures and everything that goes to make a prosperous country.Almost every state in the union to the south has adopted compulsory education many years ago, and the effect is apparent without debating the question at all.Great Britain, \u2018Germany, France, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden and even littl?Japan, that was practically a pagan nation two generations ago, have adopted compulsory education.I will give you a list of the principal countries and the percentage of illiteracy that exists and I am sure you will not fail to judge for yourselves that the most power lies behind those countries which are the most educated : \tPercentage of Countries.\tof illiteracy.Austria \t\t\t 25 Belgium \t \t\t\t 18 Bulgaria \t\t\t, \t 65 Denmark \t\t\t 1-5 of 1 England and Wales \t\t\t U Finland \t\tH France \t\t\t 14 Germany \t\t\t 4-5 of 1 Ireland \t\t\t 17 Italy \t\t\t\t .\t40 Poland \t\t Netherlands \t\t\t 14 Portugal \t\t\t 73 Russia \t\t\t\t 70 Scotland \t\t\t 14 Servia \t\t\t 36 Spain \t \t\t Sweden \t\t.1-3 of 1 Switzerland \t\t\t 1-2 of 1 United States \t\t\t\t 7.7 i This is largely made\tup by the colored states and the\tforeign ele- ment constantly streaming into the\t country.)

Peru Australia New Zealand .1-3 Japan .9 (\u2018Well done, little Japan !\u2019) ILLITERACY REDUCED TO MINIMUM.\u201cNova Scotia, P.E.Island, Ontario and British Columbia have adopted compulsory education, and as a consequence illiteracy in these provinces is reduced to a minimum.Their sons and daughters for intelligence and success in the different walks in life will compare with any the world over.Throughout the.United States and other countries these Canadian boys are holding their own on account of their abilities which their education gives them opportunities to being into use.When I speak of compulsory education I include free tuition and uniformity of hooks.In \u2019Ontario poor families get the hooks gratis, and I think it is only a matter of time when they will distribute the books and all requirements of the school without any charge at all.I would also include In compulsory education proper sanitary conditions in the schools in their most modern sense.THE COUNTRY SCHOOL.The country school is not only badly ventilated, but lias everything that is repulsive about it.In Ontario particular attention is being paid not only to ventilation and the necessary sanitary arrangements, hut the walls are being decorated with patriotic pictures and anything else that appeals to the childs\u2019 talents.OBJECTS OF BILL.\u201cBefore proceeding to explain the object of my bill for compulsory education, which I have twice introduc-(Continued on Page 6) ONE MAN IS DEAD AND ANOTHER' IS BELIEVED TO BE FATALLY SHOT.Dallas, Texas, Feb.21.\u2014During a conference over a proposed real estate deal in an office building here yesterday, James L.White, treasurer of the Republic Trust Company, of this city, was shot and killed, and A.Silvers\u2019, vice-president of the Republic Trust Company, and president of A.Silvers & Company, was probably fatally shot.J.A.Clapton, of San Antonio, the third man in the conference, is charged with the crimes.It is said the trouble started over differences of opinion as to how the proposed deal should be financed.PRESIDENT HUERTA TOOK THE OATH OF OFFICE\u2014NEW GOVERNMENT COMPLETE.Mexico City, Feb.21.\u2014That Francisco Madero will get out of Mexico without having to face official investigations for one thing or another now appears improbable.He has already been charged with responsibility for the death of Colonel Riveroll, whom he is alleged to have shot at the time of his arrest in the palace.A committee of deputies has now asked that Madero he forced to account for moneys expended by the administration.This committee called upon President Huerta yesterday afternoon and urged that Madero be held accountable for the depleted condition of the treasury.The last details of the organization of Mexico\u2019s new government were completed at 4 o\u2019clock yesterday afternoon, when the members of President Huerta\u2019s official family took the oath in the Yellow Room in the \u2022palace immediately above that occupied by the deposed president and vice-president.Unable to witness the scenes from their room, Madero and Suarez were yet able to hear the plaudits of the crowds in the streets and in the big square in front, and the bugle \u2018calls of the united arms.Significant of the birth in battle of the new administration was the display of soldiers, and the effect on the crowds was not lost.HOT ¦ HAK IWJMION Will Construct Two Connecting Links to Complete System to Massachusetts WILL RUN PARALLEL LINE TO THAI OF THE CENTRAL VERMONT RAILWAY.Montpelier, Vt., Feb.21.\u2014Two bills which would give the Boston & Maine Railroad permission to construct two connecting links to complete its system down the Connecticut River valley to Massachusetts, parallel with the tracks of the Central Vermont Railway, a Grand Trunk subsidiary, were passed upon favorably in the Legislature yesterday.Counsel for the road said last night, however, that the connecting links would not be built so long as the present agreement between the Grand Trunk and the Boston & Maint lor the joint use of the existing tracks remained in effect.The agreement might he abrogated by either company, according to the counsel, when the arrangement should be found unsatisfactory.One bill passed by the House in concurrence with the Senate provided \u2019or the extension of the Sullivan County Railroad from Windsor to White River Junction.The other bill, which has been act-id upon favorably by the House, was passed by the Senate.It provides for the extension of the Vermont Valley Railroad from Brattleboro to the Massachusetts line at South Vernon.laiter Admits That She Incited Followers to Carry (lut Explosion HALF A DOZEN SUFFRAGETTE WINDOW SMASHERS SENTENCED TO SIX MONTHS.London, Feb.21.\u2014(Special) \u2014 Mrs.Emmeline Pankhurst\u2019s assumption in the course of a speech of full responsibility for the explosion of a bomb, by which the country residence of Chancellor Lloyd George at Walton Heath was virtually destroyed, and iier confession that she had conspired with and incited her followers to larry out the scheme, have been seiz-id upon by the Home Office as grounds for her prosecution.The law officers have taken the 5teps which usually precede the fcring-ng of a criminal charge.Half a dozen window smashers were sentenced to-day, each to six months\u2019 mprisonment.All of them pledged themselves to start a hunger strike during their detention.CUILÏÏ OF Hi Faces a Term of 25 Years (Imprisonment in Sing Sing HALF A DOZEN MORE OF MEMBERS OF \u201cARSON TRUST\u201d HAVE YET TO BE DEALT WITH.New York, Fen.21.\u2014 \u201cIzzy the Painter\u2019s\u201d confession that he had fired 3(10 houses at the behest of a local \u201carson trust\u201d bore first fruit yesterday in the conviction of Robert J.Rubin, an insurance adjuster, who, \u201cIzzy\u201d said, was one of his aides.The jury returned a verdict of guilty of second degree arson, aftei twenty minutes\u2019 deliberation.Rubin faces a term of imprisonment up to 25 years.Half a dozen or more other alleged members of the \u201carson trust\u201d are yet to be brought to trial.The case ol one of them, George C.Grutz, was called at once by Justice Golf, a jury having been drawn.Samuel Gold, the first witness, testified that with Grutz\u2019s knowledge \u2018\u2018Izzy the Painter\u201d set fire to the Gold home, after the witness and Grutz had written an insurance policy.The spoils of the scheme, Gold said, amounted to $525 in insurance, of which Grutz got $55 and \u2018\u2018Izzy\u201d $40, the witness retaining the balance.The cashing of the insurance company\u2019s cheque and the division of the money took place in a saloon, Gold testified, after Grutz had described \u201cIzzy\u2019s\u201d incendiary work as a \u201cremarkably good job.\u201d The case is proceeding.Ottawa, Feb.21.\u2014A dramatic conclusion marked the proceedings in the House of Commons last night when at 11.30 Mr.R.C.Miller, Canada\u2019s state prisoner, was sentenced by Speaker Sproule, of the House of Commons, to incarceration in the common jail of Carleton county, Nicholas street, Ottawa, his term of confinement to he until prorogation or at the order of the House.This is the first time since Confederation such drastic action has been taken by Parliament.After a debate which lasted until after eleven o'clock, and which was closed by impressive speeches from the two party leaders, the Speaker put the Middlebro motion to the House, and it was carried without division.The prisoner was then at once recalled to the bar and the Speaker read the sentence as contained in the motion.Mr.Miller bowed low and withdrew in the custody of the sergeant-at-arms.Mr.A.E.Harvey, K.C., of Montreal, stated last night that the verdict of the House was not a surprise to him, and that he would to-day institute Habeas Corpus proceedings to secure the liberty of his client.Mr.Miller refused to make any statement whatever.Whether Habeas Corpus proceedings will have force over this judgment of Parliament is an interesting legal point.Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the leader of the Opposition, conceded at once the necessity of Parliament maintaining its dignity and admitted the power of commitment.He rebuked his followers for raising technicalities, his only objection to the motion being his doubt whether the House could commit to a county jail over which it had not direct authority.PREMIER\u2019S OPINION.Premier Borden said that the prisoner had set the House of Commons at defiance, and if they bowed to him they might as well abolish the Public Accounts Committee.He said that Parliament was perfectly within its rights in committing Miller to the common jail.As far as length of sentence was concerned.Miller was master of the situation.The duty had been thrust upon the House by the prisoner\u2019s attitude and the House would be in a humiliating position if it failed to pass the motion.FINE PORCELAIN COLLECTION COMING.London, Feb.21.\u2014One of the finest collections of old Chinese and other porcelain which has ever passed en bloc into the hands of a single collector has just been acquired for America by Mr.Gorer.It is the entire collection of George R.Davies, for- TO DO AWAY WITH TIPPING BILL INTRODUCED IN PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.Harrisburg, Pa., Feb.21.\u2014A bill making it a misdemeahor punishable by a fine of from $10 to $25 for any person to give, solicit or receive directly or indirectly a tip was introduced in the Pennsylvania Legislature yesterday.The bill contains a preamble reciting that \u201cthe iniquitous custom of tipping has grown to enormous proportions in this country and has long since become an intolerable burden to Americans, but unfair and unjust and works a hard- MV GffjMCIK Amendment to Voters' List Act Would Give Them Right in Municipal Elections IF CARRIED WOULD ALSO HAVE EFFECT OF DISENFRANCHISING MEN WHO VOTE ON WIFE\u2019S PROPERTY.Toronto, Feb.21.\u2014Married women whose names appear on the assessment roll as property fielders are to be given the municipal franchise, if an amendaient to the Voters\u2019 Lists Act introduced by Findlay MacDiar mid, member for West Elgin, secures the approval of the Legislature.The bill is the work of tbs Hon.W.J.Hanna, and its introduction by a private member instead of as a Government Bill leaves the proposal open for general discussion.Whether it becomes law or not will depend entirely upon the members of the House, freed of party considerations, but it is expected the opposition will not be pronounced.The MacDiarmid bill is an interesting one, owing to the fact that its adoption will practically mean the disfranchisement, as far as municipal elections are concerned, of all men whose only right to vote at present is on the property held in the name of their wives, and will prevent more than one civic representative running for office again.In other words the bill declares that a woman owning property shall have the right upon giving notice to the assessor or the court of revision to exercise the municipal franchise, the husband being prevented thereby Irom voting on that property.The same point lies in the fact that unless the woman gives such notice the husband may continue as at present to vote on his wife\u2019s property.LI HIGHWAY Government Has The Money Ready to Spend on Work ESTIMATED THAT $1,000,000 WILL BE SPENT ON ROADS THIS SUMMER.Montreal, Feb.21.\u2014II labor and experienced contractors can be procured, the Provincial Government will spend $1,000,000 on roads this summer, according to a statement made by the Hon.Mr.Caron, Minister of Agriculture, who was in the city.The bulk of this sum will be expended on the Montreal-Quebec and Sherbrooke-Derby Line routes.Mr.Caron declared that the Government had lots of money to spend on road-makiag, and was willing to make the outlay, but merly of Forest Hill, Hartford, Che- .shire.It numbers about six hundred 1 ship on many who cannot afford the pieces and is of the rarest and very many petty exactions caused by this

of the recent warm spell, has caused widespread agricultural disaster.Only so short a time ago as February 6th the warm weather brought the bloom to plants in the suburbs of Paris, while buds ware bursting on the fruit trees in the orchards of Normandy and Brittany.The south of France is now suffering from heavy gales and snow storms.The steamer Oleron has been wrecked off Cette, eight persons being drowned.CANADIANS ARE SAFE.Ottawa, Feb.21.\u2014News of a reassuring character regarding the fate of Canadians in Mexico has reached Ottawa.Messages were received announcing the fall of the Mexican Government, and stating that so far as could be learned no Canadians had lost their lives in the fighting in the City of Mexico.WASHINGTON LETTER BRINGS $1250.London, Feb.21\u2014A letter written by George Washington at Mount Vernon on February 5th, 1789, referring to the election of the representatives to the first United States Congress, was sold by auction here for $1250.It was

relatives, the residue of the estate, estimated at $20,-000,000.is left to the testator's son, John Sanford.AMBASSADOR TO RUSSIA Paris, Feb.21.\u2014Théophile Delcasse, formerly French minister of foreign affairs and minister of marine, has been appointed French ambassador to Russia in succession to Georges Louis, who has retired on reaching the age limit.FIVE INJURED IN Portland Train onG.T.R.Ran Into Rear of New York Train serious difficulty was found in getting contractors who understood the work, and even when an experienced contractor was unearthed ' e had difficulty in procuring laborers who understood road-making.The Minister of Agriculture indignantly denied the imputation that the rejection of tenders received for the construction of the new highway from Quebec to Montreal was m lueuced by politics.All the tenders received, be said, were much too high, became if a contractor was to build £0 n îles of road he required a plant equipment that would enable him to build 100 miles, and expected the Government to pay for this.The result was that the tenders received were from 50 to 100 per cent higher than what was considered reasonable.VOTE FOR GERMAN PETROLEUM MONOPOLY.Berlin, Feb.H.-A trade convention representing the German Chambers of Commerce, passes a resolution in favor of the German Government\u2019s petroleum monopoly bill on condition that it be based on guarantees of an adequate supply and moderate prices, with compensation for the middlemen and employees affected by the consolidation.The resolution, however, was strongly opposed by a powerful minority in the convention.$15.000 FOR LOSS OF A LEG.Quebec, February\t21.\u2014Yesterday afternoon, in the Superior Court, Judge Malouin presiding, the jury returned a verdict of

Albany minus one Pullman and the main coach, which had to be taken off owing to the damage they sustained.The official report gave the cause of the accident as due to the engineer on the Portland

PROSPERITY INCREASED MOVEMENT FOR HIGHER WAGES.Ottawa, Feb.21.\u2014(Special)\u2014 A prominent feature of the current issue of \u201cThe Labor Gazette\u2019 is a comprehensive statement dealing with trade disputes in existence in Canada during the year 1912.The total number of strikes and lockouts during the year was 159.The prevailing trade prosperity considerably increased the movement for higher wages.It is worthy of note, however, that the great proportion of disputes of 1412 were of comparatively small importance, no less than HI of the number that commenced during the year affecting less than 3011 employees, while 85 affected less than 200 employees.There were altogether 10,511 employees involved in trade disputes.A considerable decrease was seen in the loss of time to employees.The number of working days lost in 1912 was approximately i ,09i).,2(i'8, which is only slightly more than one half the number lost during 1911.In this connection it will be noticed from the tables that two disputes of railway construction laborers in British Columbia and one of garment workers at Montreal accounted for the cessation of work 0n the part of 13,-500 employees and for the loss of 584,500 working days.An important feature of the 1912 record was the fact that fifty-two disputes involved workers in the building trades.The majority of these were strikes pending the arrangement of new schedules and were of comparatively short duration.Sixty-six disputes occurred in Ontario; twenty-four in Quebec; sixteen in Saskatchewan, thirteen in Alberta, ten in British Columbia, seven in Manitoba, six in New Brunswick and five in Nova Scotia.In more than 1(16 disputes the wage question was involved, sixty-five occurring from actual demands for higher wages.The trade unipn question and its different phases entered into fourteen disputes and in twenty cases the disputes related either wholly or partly to hours of labor.DISPUTES IN JANUARY.There was further improvement in industrial conditions in regard to the number of trade disputes during January.At the end of the year 1912, thîre were seven disputes in existence of such magnitude as to affect industrial conditions, and two of these were settled during January.Five new disputes occurred, a feature of which was the fact that by none of them were more than 100 employees affected.Disputes in existence in January were twelve i in number as compared with fourteen during December.The number of employees affected als0 showed a decrease, being 2,298 as compared with 3,850 during December.The number of working days lost during January was about 48,000, which represents a decrease of more than 18,000 as compared with the December record.There were seven disnutes left unterminated at the end of the month.PRICES IN CANADA EASIER LAST MONTH WHOLESALE AND RETAIL PRICES SHOW A DROP.Ottawa, Feb.21.\u2014(Special)\u2014 The Department of Labour\u2019s index number of wholesale prices was slightly lower in January, standing at 136.2 as compared with 136.8 in December.Grains and fodders, dairy products, fruit and vegetables were lower, while animals and meat and fresh fish were upward.Winter wheat and barley also were upward.Hog products wore easier.Iron and products of iron showed some advances.Compared with January, 1912, for which the index number was 133.2, a rise of three points is shown.The chief increases appear in the groups, animals and meats, fish, hides, leathers, hoots and shoes, textiles, furs, metals and fuel, with decreases in grains and fodder, dairy products, fruits and vegetables.The index numbers are percentages of the average prices during the decade, 1^90-1899.They are based on 272 commodities representative of Canadian production and consump-tiOH.In retail prices, the feature of the month was the easier market for dairy products, eggs declining in many cities, and butter being much easier, while milk declined in two cities.Some other lines of food were lower also.A year ago at this time meats, dairy products and potatoes were strongly upward.UNIONIST MAJORITY REDUCED.London, Feb.21.\u2014The bye-election in the Chorley division of Lanceshire, rendered necessary by the elevation of Lord Baicarres to the peerage, following the death of his father, the Earl of Crawford, resulted as follows: Sir Henry Hibbert (Unionist) 7,573 ; Mr.J.T.T.Jackson (Liberal) 5,606 ; Unionist majority, 1,967.There is thus a falling off in the Unionist majority of 569, as compared with the last election, and this is accounted for by differences of purely local origin.The Unionist candidate only polled 150 votes fewer than in 1910, but the Liberal vote advanced by 719.to-morrow-, (Washington's Birthday).Montreal Noon Letter.Dom.Iron broke sharply to 51J soon after the opening, compared with .\"it at last night\u2019s close.The reasons given w-ero lower London prices and liquida tion by tired holders.There was also, some calling of loans in Toronto which had \u201e certain amount of influence.Richelieu was also weaker again today selling down to llfi, and Brazil ran off to 94j, while Montreal Rower lost one and a half to 2231.Granby, O'J, Reserve, 362.FRELIGHBB U RG.The Ladies\u2019 Village Improvement Society reorganized and held their annual meeting with Mrs.W.A.Reynolds on the last Thursday ol January with the present membership of thirty which is increasing steadily.The officers for the coming year were elected and are Mrs.T.i.Cassidy, President; Mrs.E.E.Spencer, Vice-President; Mrs.E.M.Shepard, Secretary Treasurer; Mrs.T.J.Bell, Corresponding Secretary; Directresses Mrs.H.A.Naylor, Mrs.F.A.Ayer, Mrs.E.M.Shepard, Mrs.T.J.Bell.It was decided to give a concert in the B.S.M.Church Hall on Easter Monday night.The programme will consist of three very laughable farces and tableaux, solos, readings and illustrated songs.The next regular meeting was held with Mrs.T.A.Ayer on Thursday 20th.A new- shorthand machine, called the sténotype, has made its appearance in a competition in New York.It takes down 592 words a minute and weighs 8 tb.The working of it is based on phonetic spelling.Several letters can be printed by striking one key, while it is possible to strike two keys with one finger.The twenty three keys represent seven conson-sonants and every combination of sounds used in speech, together with about 150 standard abbreviations\u2014 the sole code that the operator must master.With the macaine a speed of over 180 words a minute has .been obtained.The machine is not being sold to the general public, the sale being restricted to students of business schools qualified as competent operators, in order to keep the device from becoming a drug 0n the market.IE SYNDICATE MEETS Report

reasons why I should persist in presenting this measure.In the recently established technical schools \u20ac0 per cent fail to pass the entrance examination, which should be quite easy for any boy who has finished his elementary course, showing the irregular attendance and other causes as factors in producing these failures.Another feature is that a large number of children will not go to school, or possibly their parents send them out to earn a weekly wage and expose them to the temptations that beset children of all ages.The statistics of the court for juvenile delinquents in Montreal show that 2,000 children have been before the presiding judge, most of them for disobedience to their parents, running the streets, attending moving picture shows and smoking cigarettes, and out of about three hundred who were detained in the house of detention 25 per cent could neither read nor write.Their ages were between nine and fourteen.Most of them were naturally on the high road to a criminal career.Had the compulsory school law been enforced these children would have been attending school, and consequently the court for juvenile delinquents would have had very much less to do.STATE WILL BE BENEFITTED.It is not only the child who is being benefitted, but also the state, in training and educating the future men and women, besides lessening the number of those who are drifting into the criminal classes.Any state or country that is not attending to the education of the child is absolutely falling behind, as a boy or girl who is not sufficiently educated in the elementary branches is seriously handicapped in the struggle for existence, and too often the foreigner forges ahead of our people on this account.That the sentiment is very strong among the English and French-Ca-nadians, I may say that not only have resolutions been passed in favor of it by numerous public bodies, but also by the Trades\u2019 Council of Montreal, representing 23,000.\u201d OBJECTIONS TO BILL.The principal objection to my bill was that it provided for education among non.Catholic children and also that the penal clauses were too hard and severe.With regard to the first objection, I had not any wish*to invade a territory that might compromise the passing of the act.The principle of the bill was what I was striving for and the rest could have been left to the judgment of the House.Various excuses have been made for a child not being compelled to go to school,\u2014\u2018the child is under instruction at home,\u2019 \u2019the child is unable to attend school by reason of sickness,\u2019 \u2018the schools are too far from some homes,\u2019 \u2019the child is excused by the J.P.or the Principal of the school, having passed a prescribed examination.\u2019 The penal clauses were that the parent may be fined from five to twenty dollars.Then the last clause was that it applied simply to non-Catholic children.We have a very large Jcwiih element in our country.For that reason I.called it \u2018non-Catholic.\u2019 DUTIES OF PARENTS Much was said \u2019 about the parents being compelled by law.Parents should see that a child gets an education.If they bring the children up in ignorance they are inflicting an injury on society and an irreparable injury to the children themselves.The care of the child is the call of the hour everywhere and the Province should rise to that call.There are many difficulties to overcome, especially in the country districts so thinly populated, where some distances are great for the children, yet that would be a rare exception and as difficulties have been overcome in the older provinces they can be overcome in this province.In the cities compulsory education would raise the question of accommodation and they would want more teachers.I would refer to the fact that the teaching of boys is almost entirely in the hands of lady teachers so far as elementary classes go and although not reflecting upon their ability I claim that when a boy is nine years old he should be placed under the care of a male teacher.Boys at that age have to he handled with a firm hand and this can be done in the playground.There are in every hunch of boys some who are inclined- to act the bully.The discipline inculcated by the teacher leaves lessons for the rest of the boy\u2019s days.WOMEN TAKE PLACE OF MEN.For thirty years the male teacher bas been driven out of the field by women.I believe the time is not far distant when school boards will have to go hack to the old system of male teachers for the boys and I am satisfied it will be for the best interests of education.The average salary paid, in the Province is $165.We are not doing our whole duty to those who have the moulding of the characters of our future men and women.In Ontario the average salary is

tables looked very attractive, spread with all the good things provided by the Adult Bible Class and brightened with vases of daffodils and pots of cyclamen.After, supper the Rev.W.D.Reid, B.A., B.D., pastor of the Stanley Street Presbyterian Church of Montreal, gave a short address on \u201cSunny Alberta,\u2019\u2019 relating principally his own experiences and impressions while acting for two years as superintendent of missions for the Presbyterian Church in that province.He spoke of the extremely varied character of the settlers of the West, speaking first of the Mormons and their tremendous increase as colonists and as land owners.Almost every piece of vacant land in Southern Alberta is being bought up ' by them, and they are willing to give higher prices than anyone else.The Presbyterians are the only denomination doing definite work among the Mormons, not, he was sorry to say, with a great measure of success, but at least it was something to be holding their own among the Gentiles around them.Then there are people from Russia, Austria and Galicia, the downtrodden dark countries of Europe.There were 40,000 Galicians in Southern Alberta, foreign in appearance, in language, in ideals and habits, many of them anarchists, socialists and nihilists.The Mounted Police keep them in good order, as far as such people can be managed at all.A large number of them profess to be Roman Catho-| lies, while others claim to be Pro-! testants, calling their church the i United Free Church.Last year they rsked to be affiliated with the Presbyterian Church, but the differences : were too many, as they still have ; their service of mass, etc.Missions among the Galicians were : succeeding well.Mr.Reid gave an account of a mission which his churcht | had established in a colony of Fin-anders, some thirty miles from Red Deer, Alta.A missionary who spoke their own tongue was sent from Boston, and they were most grateful, promising to help all they could, and when they were a little richer they hoped to support their own church.There are also Scotch, French and English colonies, the latter belonging principally to the Episcopal Church, so Mr.Reid was not brought into as close personal contact with the English.The Englishman may perhaps be laughed at when he first comes to the country, for his ignorance of the ways, but to use their western expression \u201che stays by his job\u2019\u2019 and many an Alberta town has an Eng-| lishman for a mayor.They usually I turn out good, strong citizens.As I for Americans, it is claimed that 60 per cent, of the rural population of Alberta comes from the other side of the line.There is an initiative and \u201cgo\u201d about the Americans, perhaps not found in any other nationality, but though there are some splendid men in the church, a great many of them do not pay much attention to religion.They make good, loyal citizens in the West, beginning by \u201cboosting\u201d their town, then the :ountry, and finally towards Alberta and the whole of Canada this feeling of personal pride is extended.Then there are a number of Scotch -.oloniste, and Mr.Reid was of course brought into very close touch with many of them.He described a drive i across the prairies to a little settlement forty miles from the railway, where he held their first service and [ organized a board of management, and later a missionary was sent in, ! for which these isolated people were : very thankful.This is a sample of the work being I done on the prairie.The Bcotch-! man whose hospitality Mr.Reid en-1 joyed had been in the country four years, coming from north of the Tweed.In Hcotland he had paid C5 : an acre for his land, and found it dif-j ficuit to make a living.When he | went on to bis homestead in Alberta he had £2 in his pocket.Now he own-! ed 160 acres of land, and had pre-; empted another half-section along i side, had 65 acres of good wheat, 12 ] cows, 8 horses, mowers, threshers and all the other implements necessary for the farmer, and has brought over ! his wife and family.That is what is being done right along on the prairie by thrifty and industrious people.But, on the other hand, of i course, there are many hardships and much loneliness and sometimeH severe | sickness with a doctor from 20 to 50 miles away.There are difficulties, 1 too, with missionaries, who find the lew country very perplexing and of-; ten lack adaptability.There is a I great deal of work to be done out I there to amalgamate and Christian ' ize all those heterogeneous masses flocking to our shores.How is it to be done ?Home people say, educa-i tion.They are looking out for that jin Alberta.Last year they built 4art with some of their hard earned ;aving-> or be entertained by Mr.R.M.H>,1 at the expense of the Govern-! ment.SCHOOL PRINCIPAL RESIGNS.Clarenceville, Feb.21.\u2014(Special) \u2014 Miss Annie Macfie, assistant in tVie j Clarenceville Model School under Miss Vaudry\u2019s charge, is giving good I satisfaction.Disappointment was expressed when it was learned that Miss Vaudry, who has given much satisfaction as principal, had been : engaged in St.Lambert for next I scholastic year.The attendance of pupils shows 76 in Model and Ele-| mentary departments, with an aver-! age attendance of 71.Mr.Parker in his official report speaks very highly of the present teaching staff, Miss Vaudry and Mrs.E.H.Haumer.SUDDEN DEATH AT WARDEN.Warden, Feb.21.\u2014The town was startled Tuesday morning to hear of I SIIESAT KAISER Measure Adopted Whereby the Anti-Jesuit Law was Repealed SOCIALISTS AND CLERICALS HAVE- FORMED A TEMPORARY ALLIANCE.Berlin, Feb.21.\u2014The Reichstag has adopted by a majority made up of Clericals,.Socialists and three Radicals, the measure repealing the anti-Jesuit law.It is considered most improbable that the Bundesrat will concur with ihe Reichstag in its action.The virtual nullification of the Jesuit law in Bavaria led to representations from the imperial authorities.A notable feature of the present situation is the alliance, temporary though it be, of the Socialists and Clericals or Centre party, two opposing forces, one radical, the other conservative.Both, however, have in view the establishment of a parliamentary form of Government, which Germany is whoUy without today.In a parliamentary Government, for instance, a vote of censure, such as that noted above, would have meant the immediate resignation of the Cabinet.In Germany, however, the Cabinet is responsible not to the Reichstag but to the kaiser, as by the constitution the kaiser is not wholly dependent on Parliament funds.£ Farmers Will Meet Foi* Purpose of Organizing Farmers\u2019 Club the sudden death of Mrs.S.Boise, an aged and respected revdent of Warden.Mrs.Boise
