The Legislative grant to rugal pub- lic aod.separate schools is earned on the salaries and certificates of the teachers. In 1900 it amounted • to $178,265 and ip 1907 (the first year in which the present system for comput- ing grants was used), to 11338,7213.42. As salaries increased, the amount earned approached almost ball a mil- lion, which was almost $100,010 in ex- cess of the appropriation. In 1912 it was arranged that the forty per cent. paid by the Depertwent in respect to salaries should begin at 3360 for prin- cipal and 3291 for Assistant teachers, instead of POO and $1x1 as had form- erly been allowed. lo spite of this an overdraft fur $06,000 had to be ob- tained in order that the grants earned might be paid in foil. The Government has decided Oat° all grants fur educational purposes must not esceed the amount, voted, which is 3400,000, so that a pro rata reduction may be necessary in order that the amount paid to the schools may be within the appropriation above referred to. The grant:on interim ftrst-and sec- ond -cines certificates is now with- drawn in accordance with the policy of the Department. The grant on fiat and second-class permanent tier- tificat.er remains the same, Alex. Young for the Council. In the discussion of possibilities fur the town council of 1913, the name of Al.•x. Young is being mentioned. We do not krow whether Mr. Young will be a candidate or not, but if he allows his tame to go on the ballot he will undoubtedly receive • large support As .t resident of Colborne he had a long experience in municipal affairs, and now that he has become a citizen of l.oderich, with • good deal of leisure time at his disposal, he should be able to give the town good service an a wehtber of the council. We trust that Mr. Young will give the proposal serious consideration. A Good Program. A fairly targe audience listened with great interest to the entertainment given in Victoria street church last Friday evening. The main feature of the program was a dialogue by the young ladies of the }Epworth League. entitled "An 'Old-time Ladies' Aid Meeting at Mohawk Crossroads." The ladies performed their parts with much ability and the humorous touches were duly appreciated. The evening was made stall more enjoy- able by a vocal duet by Dr. and Mts. Medd,.piano solos by Mies Le.sca Elli- ott and readings by Mize Hattie Bel- cher. The entertainment was brought to a close by the singing of "(sod Save the King." An Early daersi.

Monday evening of this week a pleasant time was spent at Hatulink's evaporator, when about twenty of the emplayees gathered to enjoy • bridal time, marking the close of the evap- orator seasob. The evening was spent in the ptsying of various games, and a taffy pull and lunch provided by the ladies added to the pleasure of the es- sembly. Abu 9 o'clock J. McLtrty, who had been the popular foreman of the peeling department during the season, was called forward. when the following address was read to him, and he was made the recipient of an elegant rocking chair : To Mr. J.

The season just closed at the evap- orator has been a very successful one. The employees peeled 33,000 bushels of apples. and four carloads, containing 4,0110 bushels, were shipped to other pointe. The average number of em- ployees duriog the season was about twenty. In addition to the evapora- tor business, Mr. Hamlink handled 5,000 barrels of apples this fall for the Huron Fruit -growers' Association. The first calendars of 1913 begin to appear.
