[" Pare rn pgs + BI Coe @amadian Gleaner Huxrincoox, Q., Ave.16, 1906.NOTES OF THR WERK As suggesting & remedy for the de plorable state into which the schools of the Quebet minority have fallen the meeting of Tuesday was a disap pointment.Changes that would al leviate the situation were suggested but that does not mest the case.Wher & patient is stricken with an {lines that may prove mortal, remedies that will ease his pains snd prolong life by à few hours or days Is not wha! is called for, but a radical cure of the disease.The figures given by Mr Fisher himself were proof of the seriousness Of the cass.When he told that out of some 980 schools 431 are inefficient from lack of support, and a speaker who followed him stated that the doors of 66 schools had been closed last year, and were nol likely to be opened again, the suggested remedies sounded somewhat puerile.The imputation that the English- speaking farmers are chiefly to blame, we resent.The statement that 316 per scholar is their average yearly contribution to the cause of education ie incorrect.\u201d That is the amount for the province ss a whole.Surely itis unfair to impute to the minority the financial shortcominge of the majority.Many schools can be named wich 7 or 8 scholars which cost over 3300 a year to maintain, and we are conti- dent 325 per acholar would more nearly represent what our English-speak- ing farmers are doing for education teen 310.In considering the educational crisis, commonsense would indicate that the first step to be taken towards finding a remedy is to discover the cause of tha crisis.On Tuesday the visiting speakers walked round the question, carefully avoiding pointing out what ia at the @oot of the trouble.The average farm of the English-speaking sections ie 3 acres wide, 80 that it is seldom over 8 families can be counted to a mile, This governs the size of school districts.Under favorable circumstances, where every farm is asgessable, it is not easy to support a school in the country, and, at the best, it will fall below the desired standard.When however, every farm is not assess- able, jt is simply Impossible to have a echool doing passable work.An English-speaking section will ga on for half a century and more maintain ing a school that answers the needs of its children.From some causeor other one of the number desires to leave.Hoe finds a purchaser in a Catholic, who dissents, and the tax on that farm ie lost to the school.Another leaves and another, until the time comes when only a few of the farme in the district pay rates towards the support of the school, which necessarily lessons in efficiency with its declining support, .until the point is reached, when its door is shut.We know of two schools, one that has been In existence for over 80 years, the other for 70, which muet close for lack of support when & single farm more passes into the hands of a Cath- olfe.There are several schools which have had so much difficulty thissum- mer In getting teachers, that their continuance next year is doubted, This 1s a bald statement of facts which body denies.Now what do these fa teach?Is it not that the cause of they whole trouble that has over taken sthools of the minority In the rural parts 18 the sectarian system?It lie utterly Impossible for à farming population to maintain two efficient achools.They can supply means to support ons, but the moment the law demands they shall support two, one must dwindle and, unless a change is speedily made in the law, will die.The aparmeñess in population \u201ctnat nécemsarily chéracterises à farm- tas community, makes It utterly impossible for a district to maintains Catholic and a non-Catholic school.Where it ls self-ppparent one alone OAR find the means for, existences, it follows the other must go urfder.The only possible remedy is t0\u201dbanieh se tarianiem from education, and have only ome school in eash district\u2014a public school.We are told that it Is impracticablo\u2014~are faved by the sternal nen-possemues-thet agitation for such » Shange ia cut of the question.If thet be se, then the seheels of the English-epoaking minority are doom où.Weli-menning men may coddie can only be for & while, ssting the stesl of the ecclesiastic is reaching for their heart.Would there be anything unreasonable in the Engiieh- speaking farmese uniting in a demand that in the townships, the non-Nd lands of the provinces, publis schoels be the rule?In the parishes, thh Catholics would retain their present Schools: in the townships the schools would be neutral?Would such a compromise not de equitable?Unless such an arrangement is reached, the case is hopeless; the English-speaking farmers will continue to leave and the spectacle furnished the world of a loyal population driven from Briteih soil by the macinations of à few ecclesiastics.The export of cheess to date beats the record.Before the week is out 13 hundred thousand boxes will have left the St Lawrence.It is a pity it cannot be said to be of Canada\u2019s best, for the biz price has induced faetory- men to ship close to the hoop and much green cheese is going forward that cannot fall to lose flavor before reaching the table of the customer.The better price of cheese is reducing the production of butter.The first trains have landed their loads of harvesters at Winnipeg, and the wages offered are not such as to induce a rush.$40 to $46 per month is the idea of the prairie-farmer : 33 per day that of the harvester, and when the time lost In travel is considered, that is not too much.At least half who zo as harvesters think more of sesinz the country with -a view to settling than of the wages they may earn.The loyalty of t'a people to Glen- garry is proverbial.Go where they may, the natives of that county ses no place that so enchains their affections.The holding of a home week at | Cornwall has strikingly brought this out.From every part of the contin- ont there has been a coming of men and women to see the dear pld home with a great outpourinz of local enthusiasm.The program began on Saturday and laste all this week.Its successful carrying out does credit to all.That Montreal is to have another bridge across the St Lawrence seems to be settled.It will cross at or near St Helen's Island, be 2.1-2 miles long and have à 1800 foot span over the ship channel, 150 feet high.It will be a double bridge, the upper deck carry- for foot, vehicle, and trolley-car traffic.It Is understood the Delaware & Hudson is the chief promoter.The city atation will be on St Catherine- street.Canada\u2019s chief exports to Australis are machinery and agricultural! im- ments.Part have gone in free and part at 18 per cent.duty.The taritf has been increased to 15 and 35 per cent.and our manufacturers are surprised at Australia giving them a dose of thelr own protection medicir.e.While the silver craze was on with our neighbors it will be recalled they coined silver doliare beyond what could be forced into elrculation, and they went on accumulating In the treasury vaults at Washington until millions of capital were locked up do- Ing no good to anybody except the owners of mines who sold their silver to the government at a price above what the market warranted and who had so much specie kept out of consumption.When the coining of dollars was stopped, authority was given to melt them into smaller coins and it now wseems the expansion of the population has been such that the surplus cart wheels have gone out In smaller pieces and the government ie again buying silyer, Those in charge of the Panama canal find black labor will never hujld jt and have asked for leave to import Chinese.There Is a howl over thie from the trades unions.\u2019 There is nothing to hinder Mr Gompers and his dupes going to the isthmus and trying their hands at the job proposed tor John Chinaman, whose services are sought because nobody gleg can do the work, The Pope has taken action with regard to the separation of churchand state is Prance, by issuing an en cyclical addressed te- the ppchbishop of Paris.The substanse of it fs, thet the

gasoline company of Montreal ie engaged installing their eystem.It has besn inaugurated in the Larocque house, where it is now in partial operation and giving, as it is claimed, satisfactory results.York and Fisher are introducing the system in their underwear factory, where their special line of \u2018work calls for the use of an improved plant.It is claimed that the apparatus can be effectively used for cooking purposes.We consider the cost of installation to be à heavy factor in the expense bill.An excursion of 300 members of the Licensed Victuallers\u2019 association of Montreal reached Valleyfield, over the New York Central, Wednesday forenoon.On their arrival the visitors were taken In hand by the members of the local org anisation.who drove them around to view the principal points of interest, in the city.Atter supper the party boarded Lhe steamer Garnet, which ran the rapids to Montreal.The case of Z.Major came up for hearing before magistrate Lanctot, who further remanded the enquiry until the 17th instant.Rumor says that an hotel-kesper in town was robbed last week of over $500 by a member of -his family, who has fled to parts unknown.A complaint was laid before the police authorities, who are taking steps for the recovery of both thief and money.A staff of engineers from the hydro- graphic bureau, Ottawa, are continu- iny the work besan some two yeare ago of preparing a chart of lake St Francis and {ts tributaries.A large number of nuns and etu- dents reached here Friday evening to pass their examinations so as to qualify themselves as school teachers.A wrestling match, announced to take place between a couple of Montreal professionals in the cercle Emard Thursday, turned out into a fizzle, not 10 people attending.Saturday, notwithstanding that the weather was threatening, had {'s usual number of excursions by land and water.The attendance was not so large as usual.Miss Albertine Lapointe, daughter of deputy prothonotary Lapointe, has carried off a first-class certificate, with the title of Mus.Bac.at the recent examinations of the Montreal Polytechnic school classes.The afternoons of Friday and Saturday were devoted to a series of trotting races at St Onge's driving park, Grande Isle, but failed to draw a crowd, The league lacrosse match drew quite a few of our local admirers of the game to Cornwall on Baturday afternoon.They were well repaid for their visit, as the game was most interesting.In order to improve the sanitary conditions in Bellerive ward, the Montreal Cotton Co.has has had all the sewerage drains under its control flushed this week.Admirers of flowers are invited to visit the section covered by the Montreal Cotton Co.'s cottages.Thesur- roundings are now pesplendent witha rich covering of sweet-smelling

have not seen and much less handied any of it.Farmers are seriously complaining of a grasshopper plague which ie causing much damage to the srowing crops.In some sections farmers are cutting osts before the grain has matured, as a preventative against total loss, also as a substitute for grass, whith is very scarce, owing to the sx- tended drought.The late rain has so hat improved the pastures and started the aftermath of harvested meadows.The milk-flow has considerably decreased, and the price of butter has reached here a high figure, good dairy retailing at 38c a pound.The corporation water works department has started to make a much needed change, in removing the _hydrants from the centre to the outside edge of the foot-walks.This removes a dangerous and Inconvenient encumberance, which has for years back stood as a manifest example of a stupid piece of civil engineering.The sign-board nuisance is again cropping up on à small scale, this with blocking walks with goods, and the unauthorized awning should be vetoed at once by the council.The hotels had the bung-holes of thelr whiskey kege fastened up in great shape on Sunday.What drunks we had, it appears, wers the product of

books and documents, but, through legal interposition, nothinz was done.\u2018The date for homologation of the as- sesament-roll is about due, and this will probably bring matters to a crisis.The Bell Telephone Co.haa decided to lay another section of itm cablesin an underground conduit along Nicol- son and Victoria streets.Court Lasnier, I.O.F., held 1lM annual excursion to Beauharnois on

to throw waste paper and other trash to decorate the strests, and as the watering cart, purchased by the corporation, seems to be more for ornament than \u2018use, ye have dust galore, Bupdocks apd other weeds stem to be quite up te the average Crop, and help out the untidy appearance of things.The town fathers must surely walk with closed eyes to avoid the dust, or the \u201chandy man\" would be spared à day to cut weeds and gather part, et least, ot ths refuse scattered #0 profusely.The Meamery Besuhgrnois end Cha- teaurusy were loaded with gzoursion- insta Saturday night, facing

the Tth smoke suddenly burst from the outbuildings of Mr Thompson.Nothing could be done to save them, and a large barn, stable, and shed were burned to the ground, the dwelling-house escaping.Mr Thompeon cannot account for the origin of the fire otherwise than by supposing a tramp had taken his lodgings {n the hay and struck a match to light his pipe.The loss of buildings and season's hay falls heavily on Mr Thompson, for he had no insurance.DUNDEE CENTRE During the thunderstorm on Saturday the house of Murdoch McDonald was struck by lightning.The bolt hit the chimney, smashing the

Chinese lanterne.The attendance was large and the ladies served supper in their usual first-class style.flongs by Mr Morgan of Orms- town, and Mr Gervin, the student in charge of the Franklin Centre Congregational church, were much enjoy- éd, both being heartily encored.Sev- oral selections by the Rockburn or- chestrs, algo musig by an excellent gramaphone, added to the enjoyment of the

partner, came last Wednesday, to whom he showed whet was wanted, and who, on leaving, told me he would send an estimate of what they would do the job for.On Thursday when I wad told Coun.Kyle had let it to Mr Thomeon, I thought it was a joke, for Coun Kyle had agreed to walt for the estimate from Mr Kelsey.It seemed strange he would give out the work without consulting me.Coun.Walah\u2014I understand Coun.Kyle let the work to Walter Thomson at 31.36 per square yard.Coun.Kelly\u2014Had tenders been asked, it could have been done at $1.38 the square yard.I move that hereafter all new work be advertised and the lowest satisfactory tender accepted.Coun.Walsh, being in sympathy with the motion, would second it.The secretary pointed out thatthe resolution was 80 sweeping that it would bar giving out the amalfist job without preparing specifications and advertising for tenders.Coun.Kelly saw the difficulty and agreed to wait until the matter could be considered, and on the understanding that, until then, no similar work would be given out.Mayor\u2014Are we to understand the laying of the sidewalk was let by Coun.Kyle without the consent of the road committee?Coun.'Will=So far as I am concern- od I can answer I was not only not consulted but it was done without my knowledge.While on his feet, he wanted to direct attention to what the fire on Saturday showed him.The first reel that arrived had only 350 feet of hoss, and when the second res! came they found its hose would not couple to that of the first.Coun.Walsh\u2014I brought this matter up long ago, and was told there were 1000 fest of home.At the fire, there were only 600, and, as stated, the couplings were not in order, and could not have been made to go toge her but for the help of Malcolm Bayd.There should be hose enough to reach any house within 1008 feet of a hydrant, Coun.Kelly~There is a length of hose at the power-house, and there were some hanging in the tower at the fire-station, which could not be got at for the lock.Mayor\u2014What does the village pay an inspector for?Could he not attend to the hose on wet days, see that it is in order and properly wound on the resis?I was under the impression we had over 1200 feet of hose.Where has it gone?Coun.\u2018Will\u2014-There was the same trouble in coupling hose at the Pesver fire.- Coun.Walsh\u2014] am a member of the fire committes but It is a long while since we had a meeting, which te the reagon why some things have been neglected.There ourht always to be 660 fest of hose on the big reel, and properly wqund, not with the nos- zle end first.I will ose that we mest and prepare a peport as to more hose.The danger centre of a fire was in the front atreet, between Bouchette strest and McOoy'e, and there were only threes hydrants.With a big fire one or two gf thess might be Inacces- ible.There ought to be two more, at Ross\u2019s and Hunter's.Magor\u2014The chairman of the light committes is not present.Can any member of it tell what has

Dolightful.The \u201chabitant\u201d has to be frugal, fer bis means of supporting his family\u2014 weually no small family\u2014are somewhat meagre, Nor is frugality unknown amongst those who are in what are calied easy ctroumstances; no bad thing either, seeing that this virtue is the opposite of the vices, wastefulness and extravagance.But though frugal, the French-Canadian is mot miserly; he may be impecunious, but he is not par- simonfous.Fortunately, too, his domestic wants, though many, are simple and easily satisfied.It is said that a Scotchman could live where an Englishman would starve; but à Freneh- Canadian could live where a Sootch- man would find it difficult to supply himself with the simple but nourishing water brose.In this respect he reminds us of those two delightful characters, Dr.Riocabocca and his servamt Glacoma, depicted with such consummate skill by the inimitable Lytton.In the keen competition and maddening hurry and hoartiess strife of the present day, the peaceful and content- od French-Canadian of this generation, sypecially if he Delong to the humbier classes, may not be well adapted to play a leading part.His natural inclination not to be grasping, his quiet life, his domestic disposition, his conservative tendency, all predispose him against wildly struggling in that mad rush for worldly self which is so dis- tinotive of this plutocratic age.Long ago he learned the salutary lesson\u2014 indeed, he seems never to have learned it, but always to have known it intui- tively\u2014\u201cHaving food and raiment, let us be therewith content.\u201d Is he any worse for it?Is he not all the better?Is it really a hindrance to his trye and permanent success in life?And Is it altogether to us, restless and dissatis- fled Anglo-Saxons as we are, to have As our neighbors a race of people, who, by their comparative indifference to Mammon, are constantly reminding us that this life, with its many false am- bitlons, evanescent honors and ephemeral glories, Is not everything?Yes, the \u201chabitant\u201d is frugal, and his domestic economy is one of charming simplicity; but in spite of this\u2014or is It not because of this?\u2014one would bave to travel a long way before coming across à people among whom domestic happiness prevailed more generally.But it !s his courtesy which strikes the tourist more than his frugality, for it 1s more easily seen.One must Le somewhat acquainted with his household arrangements, with his actual home life, to appreciate the latter; one has only to meet him in ordinary intercourse to notice the former.He evidently belongs to the same rece as those old French guards, who, when they had come face to face with thetr British opponents in warfare, politely removed their helmets, and, bowing to their saddlebows, begged the gentlemen of the English arte to &e them the honor to fire the first round, and to do the Englsh justice, they refused to takq advantage of the Frenchmen's excessive politeness: and so commenced firing at the same time.Whether you are visiting in the mansions of the seignieurs, the descendants of the pld noblesse of the old regime, or in the
