There were 132 in the Inspectorate at the end of 1907, 12 held first class ose- tifioates, 58 bend seconds and 71 thirds. In 1907 there were 35 men teaching at an average salary of $506, and 94 women at an average of $112. There were 58 man receiving au average of $380 in 1897, and 75 women getting an average of $261. The 24 regular teaoh- ere is the urban sohoole at the close of 1907 were all retained for 1908, but 36 of the 107 rural divisions changed teaohers. New ! school 53otious were formed at Belgt�frve and Centralia, and substantial schools erected in eaoh vil- lage. Most of; the school sections have a neglected and untidy appearance. Any school that provides and main- tains a school garden,.meeting the pre- scribed requirements, is entitled to an initial grant of $100 and a subsequent annual grant of $20 to be expended in oaring for such gardens. The Trus- tees cannot make a better investment for their section than to provide a suit- able Library. The Model Sohool4"have done good work, the Modelites being a credit to themselves and the County. Inspector Robb's Report. Of 89 teachers in the rural sohoole 23 are males and 66 females, or 3 to I. This is a decrease of 4 males. In the rural schools the male teacher will soon disappear. As the urban schools always employ female assistants, with a male principal, there is neither in- crease or diminution in these schools. In the rural sohools there was 1 first class, 38 second, and 50 third class teach- ers employed. One third of the rural sofiools changed teachers daring the year. The average salaries paid rural teachers in 1907 was $68.50 higher than in 1906. The rural salaries for 1908 will show a decrease of about $35. The present system of apportioning the government grants does not help those who really need help. For in- stance, a school section in Tuokeramith whose equalized assessed valve is grant $251,160, $132, While the weceived in akest school section in MoKillop, assessed at $100,985' received $27. The. same system is in force for 1908. Daring the year 3 ex- cellent briok schools were ereoted in Union No. 11, Morris, McKillop and Grey; S. S. No. 7 and No. 10 m.oKiliop. They are a credit to the sections, which are not strong. Two other new Sohool houses should have been built but tie the seotions are wealthy and the people have built splendid residen- ces, the ordinary taxes are so fiigh that the trasteea say the people are too poor to build new school houses. Tho No. of pupils Enrolled Iu 1906 was 5357, in 1907 5077-a decrease bf about 800. The entire decrease for this In- spectorate in 17 years ie 2153.

There is little danger of giving the currant plantation too much fertilizer. Unfortunately it is usually the other way, this fruit being often very much neglected. As to the time required for peas to become ready for use after planting Country Gentleman says: On our own grounds, for example, Nott's Excelsior, a standard variety of peas, was ready for picking in 1006 at sixty-five days from planting, while in 1907, on the same ground, we had to wait eighty- three days for the first mess, This should indicate how unsafe any exact statement is. ..
