' ,HE Parkhill Gazette urgee.that School
boards be elected en bloc each:. year, in-
steed•of only one or two being 'annually
elegted, so that people would have. more.
direct control of school affairs, and on-.itc-
couht of such direct control would: take
a more lively interest in. School' .matters.
:.Gbit method might possibly induce pec-
ple to take a greater interest in school
matters, but it is doubtful.; We admix
that something is necessary to arfiuse'them.
on this subject, but whitt that particular
something is, it is hard to say. A school
trustee occupies a very responsible Posi-
tion, but people act as if' it was .•quite•
otherwise. Jr trustees were elected annu,
ally we would favor a reduction in the
number. One for each ward, in'our opins
ion,,is quite sufficient. • •
tT Is stated on unquestionable authori-
ty that about fifteen hundred mechanics

and It is proposed to start a soup. kitchen
for their benefit. It iscertainly hard to
see amen unemployed at this season of the
year, particularly if they have families
dependent upon them, but`the 'men who
promised "constant employment and' high
wages," under the N. P., should come to
the'Irelier of those men. They . duped
these men by false promises, and profitted
by their cupidity, and it would only be
genirous -to afford the needed relief...
Such parties, unfortunately, are not; lieu -
ally generous and open-hearted.
AT THE G.derich on urinations eine of

imaginable that not only they, but every

'know perfectly well that it would be bet-

that at no greatly distant day` a change is

MCiNTREAL has been the scene, during
the past year, of more financial swindles
than any place of similar size on the con-
tinent of America,' Its business men have
hitherto been considered shrewd and eau-,
tions, but they'appear to be swindled as.
easily as a schoolboy. Since the failure
of :the Exchange Bank, one fraud after
another hie been (Rewire -red, in which its
manager figures prominently, and every
