Ottawa, August 7.—For the first them the eOddfellows of Ontario are holding their annual-conNmsition in the Capital of the Dominion.* The Order has been very strong in the eastern part of the province, and the expense that would be incident to . . , meeting in that seetion has hitherto kept the 'Grand bodies in a more westerly di- rection.. It was -decided-, hew -ever, to. try the experiment this year, and as a conse- quence the Oddfellows of Ottawa leave been exerting themselves energetically to make the occasion a notable one. They have got tip! an interesting programme ,for the general [public *on Wednesday, which will inchiele-all manner of garnes, a com- petitive 'drill of uniformed degreecamps d a promenade' concert inethe evening, land the Mayor has proclaimed that day a public holiday. Oia Tuesday the Grand 'Enearneem nt opened at 9 o'clock, with it full attendance of officers and members. From the re- ports of the Gravel offipers it appears that this branch of the order has been prosper- ing during the past year. Two new en- campnents had -been organized; Outaeuis, No. 53; at Ottawa, March 26, and Mizpah, No. 51', at "Barrie 'June 21. • Four uni- formed degree camps were opened at London, Hamilton,, Kingstorri and St. Thoma, while applicati4es'for charters had been re.ceived from other•elocalities. TweritY-nine encarnpmente had increased in membership, six were StatiOnari, ten had slightlyt decreased; the 'reports had not been received from. the 'others. To- ronto Encanipment is the strongest in the •ProvinCe with .ea membership of 141' Harmony, of London,' comes next, with 128. The united membership of the two encamPments in London, however, ex- ceeds that of the Toronto encampments, there Tieing 223 inthe former city and 183 in the latter. The seven largest encamp- -inentsein the Province are these ,—Tciron- to, No.18, 141 members; Harmony-, No. 3, Of London 198 • Brock\\No 9 of Brock- ville, 194; Frontier, No: 2, Windsor,101 ; Adelphiam, No. 38, London, 95; Union, No. 1 St. Cetharines, 92. - . • The following statistics show the opera- tions of the, encampments for the year OUR LETTER BOX: '• The, Nail., El.( does not veld itself responsible for ideas expressed:under this,heading. • • EARNINGS. • 'To the Rdito. ot,the.

Thus, a teacher is engaged for from eighty to ninety days fewer than any other worker, . besides the shorter hours, on the days he is engaged ; making little better than three quarters of the year. • • There was at one time in this section three, school teachers with first-class cee- tificaites, and one with a 'Recood, who had other industries. One owns ten acres and is now superannated. Another forty acres, • which he energetically worked 'betore and After, school, widen off days. Saving from the beginning, he married, and the, wife's = father gave a detached and rough four. or five acres from his farm, on, whieh the teacher built a small house. 'This was disposed of for the forty, andetherlatter fee fifty in an ,adjoining section, on 'which - 'he bnilt an elegant brick hose, and ' then superanuated. Another took up thhmak- itsg . (4 flour barrels ; brit droPped school and coopering for sewing machine and other peddling agencies. These taught in our school, or in (ethers within ...walking 'distance for • inany years. The •last, brought up in the section, a scholar in its school, and then .a teacher in: it for two year; paid his board in labor at home. Girls occupy their leisure about their clothing and care of their room. Two have declibed re-engagerneut from having • the opportunity of taking schbols near their homes.; and two others have been released, so as to.•accept such convenient engage- d -lents. • •, - - • Teaching is sometimes entered upon •only for a time, by students for other pro- feeeions; or for principals of high scheele or collegiate institutes. •.Teachers in towns soneetimes have 'opportunitiesof emolu- eMent by teaching evening schools, er giv- ing private lesson, or keeping books.
