Other countries celebrate Christmas and New Year's, the,Queen's Birthday and- Thanks- • • giving- Day, La, Dominion Day . is Cana,ta'. oo n,And has been so, ever since a preciarnation for carrying into effect the enactment of the Imperial Parliament,"for uniting the ‘Province of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick'into one Dominion, under the name of Canada,. was given by Her Majesty at Windsor: •Castle on the .?.?.,nd May 1867,' declaring that on and after tbe • first clay of. July, 18'67, the said provinces ,11,111 form and be one Daminion, under the name of -c amide." ' . - That proclamation' toOk 'ellect thirty one years ago. Some of the sanguine hopes built upon it have • been. disap- poieted, The political millennium • that senile Canadians looked for has not arrived. Canadians still have; to grab 'for aliving, and pay taxes and wear out their old clothes, and sweat id summer, and shovel snow in winter. But, with all its drawb. acks Canadians would not undo it if . they could. The First of July is a holiday. The people go on excursions, or bold pie !lies, or visit their country:cousins. They do not listen to much patriotic oratory. ft is pot a great day for waving the flag. Perhaps thereveuld be more of that sort of thing if.. the new Dominion had been baptized in Wood thirty-one years ago. But as it is the day off is thoroughly enjoyed by tte younger element, which can- not personally recollect the birth of Canadian Confederation. HOME -LESSONS. . At the Normal School closing exercises in Toronto lately, Hon. G. W. Ross, in speaking of the Ontario Medical Association's discussion of the schools, said: Referring to the com- plaint that the home lessons prescribed -.hy teachers were so heavy as to curtail, unduly, tlio time which should he spent in -physical exercise. Mr.. Ross said that it was mistakenly .supposed that those lessons were imposed by the department. He would not say that the teacher had no right to assign home lessons, but when a parent sent a written notice to the -teacher askingthat his child be excused from homework, or where the teacher thought the work of the sehoolroom sufficient, no howe lemons 1* prescribed. A teacher had a right to insiet upon reationable application and diligence in the schoolroom during the five hours prescribed by the law, but the teacher's authority to assign ,home lessons could only b3 exercised in concurrence with the implied wish of the parents. Ile did not, however, wish to inter that he thought home lessons were not useful. He thought, however, that problems too difficult for the child to solve without assis- tance, or,in fact the solution of any, problem not within easy reach of the' I child's attainruentsi should not be assigned. let. 1 here was some difference of opin- ion as to the wisdom of holding • a regimental catnp in Walkerton.' Some, of the volunteers thought that they would not learn as niUch in a regi- mental camp as they would where several battalions • were asserobled. We have spoken tcl, *wend of the, officers and the general' verdict is that the tnen have improved more during' the first week here then they would learn at London in the .twelve•• days -that the • camp lasts. Among the reasons given for the statemenis. are that in London guaM and picket duty is done, by the perinaaent, force and the yelunteers get no opportunity tJ -learn these duties.' Then there are so many officers in the large camps that there is much cmifusion and countermanding of orders. 1 fere they have only the Colonel and his aides. to give Orders and cinfueion is avoided.
