During the past few weeks I have *seen frequently asked by teachers and trustees regarding the recent 1 school legislation and especially in reference to what has been called the Continuation Class, As I understand it, this clause has no reference to ' country schools but only to such • towns and, villages as are not in a i position to provide a High School, i though their size might warrant their doing so. To meet such cases a new j act has been passed providing for the; establishing of a Continuation Class. 1 This act provides that a teacher shall be employed for this depart- ment wlao shall hold not less than a i High School Assistant's certificate of; qualification. Any pupil who has passed the entrance examination is elegible to this department. The course of study is divided into two' parts: The Public Schools Leaving and Primary. Pupils who are in the Primary class may be charged a fee but those preparing for the P. S. Leaving may attend free of charge.. The principle involved in this arrangement being that all children are entitled to a. free public school education, but the privilege of higher eclacatioll must be paid for . by the individuals receiving it. 'To such schools as may take advantage of the act the government will make a grant equal per pupil to the grants given to High Schools. The County Coun- eile have the privilege ofsupplement- ing these grants but are not compel- led to do so. By this arrangement, parents in many places will be able to give their children the salve edu- cation, as they would receive, by a two years course in a High School, but at a much less cost. Continu- ation Classes cannot be established in places where High Schools already exist, EbI'TOR1A1. NOTES.

Chair taken at 8 o'clock, * * * THE special committee on the abo- lition of Government House decided to report to the Legislature that another year would be .f required so deal with the question. • The sub -committee of investigation report that the property, worth $200,- 000, was utterably unsaleable, owing the depressed condition of Toronto real estate. They found that there was solve ground for believing there •was waste on light and fuel and house funishings. While not ap- proving the abolition, they suggested the Lieutenant -Governor be given a Imp sum to buy his own supplies. No one objeeted to the report, but 4 Messrs. Master, Haycock and Sir Oliver agreed to postpone action for a year. ii- . * WE do not know whether the boys ts.day read "Tota Brown" with as ch delight as died the boys of forty ment.

The friends of the child are utterly at a loss to account !for her read act, And can only recall that during the previous week she seemed deeply affected by the story published in the papers of another girl of sixteen committing suicide in the same way. This seems to bear out the contention that newspapers carry contagion or at all events it fortifies the claim that the State should carry its researches further than the point which establishes the guilt of a person accused of a crime. If it were ascertained that the eating of tomatoes, for instance, superinduc- ed homicidal mania, every man will readily admit that the State should interfere to exterminate the tomato. It should not carry tomatoes free through. the mails and rest content with hanging .those who, having used them, succumbed to the mania pro- duced by them. In the same way, if newspapers that reek with the details of atrocities are found to superinduce homicidal mania, such papers should not be carried free through the mails nor allowed to circulate at all. They should be exterminated in the interest of society, against which they snake war. There seems to be sufiieient ground for making an investigation and sub- jecting to a microscopic examination the mental conditions that precede the commission of crime and the causes of those conditions. If sensa- tional newspapers are not a baneful influence, such an investigation will relieve them from a widespread suspicion. Mack in Saturday night. GORRIE, Sir. Wm.

The auction sale of farm stook, implements, ete., of the estate of Mr. John Keine, insolvent bauket: and farmer, was largely attended on Monday, 30th ult., but owing to the scarcety of money, etc., the proceeds were not as large as expecte&. Auction sales are quite numerous among the farmers this spring on account of the hard times and scar- cety of feed and as a. result farm stock or anything that can "ehew hay" is selling low, An early spring will be welcomed by a great many who are scarce of feed. A sleigh load from here drove oyer to the residence of Mr. Rohl, Leath- ern, near Bluevale, on Friday even- ing' of last week and spent a very enjoyable time, The programme ; consisted of music, reeitations and of a sumptuous repast, prepared by the hostess, Airs.
