THE SCHOOL SALARY LAW.
Ever Niece the passing of the es
actment of hat seN*ion of the Legish
tote fixing the satlarien of rural 'whim
teachers there has leen an inten
feeling of uppueiti to it in the rum
cummunitisw. This feeling does m
appear to diminish as time goes on
but Nereus likely to increase as th
nateprayers receive their tax -bills wit
the increased charges for school Nut
(ort. It is not only the increased
expense to which objection is taken.
hut the action of the Government in
taking the control u( eateries out of
fhr hands of the trustees is looked
upon as arbitrary and ab a blunt in-
\ timation of lack of confidence in the
intelligence of the people of runt
section. and their ability to manage
their schools properly. That town
and village schools were not include('
in the legislation is nn addilisxlal
ramie of resentment, and it is state(!
that %o deep IN the feeling agaihst. the
Government's action in some sections
in thy. Bounty that the truslrrs
threaten to resign in a body at the
chase of their prement terns, leaving
the schools to be closed or to look
after theru•elyea.
The Signal has always looked opus
the legislation in question se a sincere
attempt upon the part of the Prowl!).
clad educational authorities to im-
prove the conditions of the rural
schools+, although it was doubtful of
the results of the particular method
adopted of reaching the mach-de*it d
end. Certainly it war it mistake to
discriminate between rural and urban
.chools, and in other respects it is
now to be seen that the legislation is
decidedly faulty. The raising of the
standard of tests for teachers' certifi-
rates would be a much more reason-
able way of improving the status of
the profession, and the recognized law
of supply and demand may Ise relied
upon for the determination of the
salaries to be paid. It is altogether
likely that at the next session of the
Legislature the enactment will conte
up either for repeal or for radical
amendment, as the Government can-
not fall to be informed of the storm of
opposition it haft rained throughout
the country and of the harmful effects
such a feeling is hound to have upon
the rause of «duration.
Certainly something was needed for
the improvement of educational ('001-
dition* in many placem. The spectncle
of immature girl's and 'oym trying to
teach things which they themselves
only imp -erectly. understood, and en-
deavoring to place upon the hinds of
their pupils the imprint of characters
only themselves beginning to tw devel-
opers, was one which enttid not hut
diacourage those who had a true
conceptiot>, of the value of education.
For education is of supreme value,
and the )duration of the youth of our
land is one of the absolutely essen-
tial things if our country is to lw

dren in competent hands.
The trustees of rural ..rbool pert inns
in their attitude towards the legislation

will s0 direct their efforts that the

Kays :
••1t the caleulatiuns in the rep ort
are even approximately eortect, and
we are justified i1) concl4diug that
they are, it has been demonstrated
that it is practicable to supply the
must of this county with electrical
energy from the Maitland River falls
near Uoderirh and at prices below the
present cost of .trawl or any other,
lower that is now used. A cowpan
has already been formed fur thede=
veto' •wt of the Maitland River
power. Judging from this report, the
%chrome is not only feasible, but can he
carried out at c parativa•ly t oderat•
cost. And if the power can Ise furn-
ished at anything like the prices given
in the report all the power that ran tae
