THE PROPOSED
NEW ASSESSMENT.
---
Mayor Wiglee proposal for a new and
systematic valuation of the assessable
preties of the Lon has much to com-
meM it. As His Worship has stated.
h.s'proposal is in nowise a reflection upon
the work of the present municipal asses -
sur. It is admittedly difficult for an as-
sesax to make radical changes from yeal
to year in the ordinary assesement; but
with the support of the council an inde-
pendent valuation might be secured
which would form the basis for future
years of the work of the regular assessor.
- As is the case m most municiealities,
the taxable properties in Goderich are
not assessed at their full value. and the
tendency is to assess the less valuable
properties at a higher prop.ertion of their
real value than the more valuable ()nes.
It every property were placed un the as-
arament roll at its full value there could
he no complaint that one man was get -
t ng off with e smaller proportionate as-
sessment than another. The result would
be of course, a considerable addition to
the aggregate assessment of the town, and
there would be a danger that the council,
with a larger valuation to levy upon.
would he tempted to spend more money.
Unless the council is determined to keep
down the expenditures, and levy a small-
er rate on the dollar in proportion to the
increase in the assessment. it might he
just as well to leave the asstesrnent as it
is. Mayor Wigle ne doubt appreciates
this danger and is prepared with the as-
si, tance of the council to hold a stiff hand
on expenditures, so that a low rate may
be levied on the new assessment. If this
is assured, His Worship's proposal. we
believe. should meet with general ap-
proval.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
•
Have you got your seed catalogue yet?
Toronto Saturday light speaks of "pre-'
ventative" officers. What are (hey? We
know of "preventive" officers; perhaps
this is a new kind. r
In Alberta they have a tax on (astute*
voted land. and as a result some ot this
land is being forced on the market.
One large farming syndicate from Ohio
has bought a large block of it and will
bring in settlers from the United States to
cultivate it. The tax on wild land is a
damper on speculation.
The two parties in the Legislature have
reached an agreement for the extension of
the life of the present Pa, lament which
is7to continue until one year has elapsed
and a session iif the Legislature has been
held after the return of the Canadian
soldiers from overseas at tie close of the
\111
war. This might mean a term of ten
Sears or more for the present Legislature.

THE LEGISLATURE.
The Liberal members in the Legisla
ture,•have taken an active pest during t
past tteek in the budget dllte; The

I .
Elliott (1114t kliddlesex) led t
Opposition in the eleba.ie, which iv
characterized throughout br moderation
language and friendliness in criticism.
The Provineiel Treasurer claimed a sur
plus of $1,75E371. Mr. EllOtt paint
out that this surplus was aide* entire

Government by way ol taxation from t
nickel companies. as a result of persi
tent agitation be the Liberals in th
House. The increased revenue from su
cession duties, of 8776,132.2s.was not th
result of any Government economy, and
the Government could scarcely clai
credit' for these two large items of .rev
nue. The main portion of:Mr. L
liott's criticism. however. was direct
against the Government's system of ac
counting. He appealed. for a system
whereby capital and ordinary receipts an
expenditures cduid he distinguished with
out laborious research. Ile took occasio
to remind members of the Governmen
that they had adopted several 1.ibera
policies in the past, instancing woma
suffrage. prohibition. the Workmen'
Compensation Act. and the taxatio
of tht• nickel companies: and he
thought they might continue to accep
Liberal suggestions which were in the
public interest. A Minister of Agricul
ture should be appointed who could giv
his whole attention to the duties of th
liepartment, in view of the need for pro-
duction and the shortage of farm help.
Mr. McDonald (North Bruce) con
sidered money could be saved by reduc
ing the personnel of the Ontario license
board. Four men wore paid salaries ag
gregating $20.500. Since prohibition
came into force a board of two member
would be adequate. Ile opposed any ex
tra expenditure for school textbooks this
year, and suggested that examinations
might be held earlier to permit the
older students to go on the farms.
Mr. Mageau (Sturgeon Fal(s) discussed
Northern Ontario affairs and Gavern-
ment House expendgure. Seven thous-
and dollars had beat expended for water,
fuel and light at Government /louse last
year. Ile estimated that the upkeep of
the "Castle" last year, plus six per cent.
on the cost of building. would amount to
fl18.000.
A feature of the debate was the speech
of Mr. Thomas hlarshall. Liberal mem-
ber for Lincoln, in which he declared that
the whole system of educaticain the Prov-
ince was too much centralized and
should he changed. It was too narrow
and autocratic and a committee of ex-
perts should be appointed to consider the
whole question. In the last ten years
there been a great increase 111 the
expenditure of this Department, with no
increase in efficiency. Mr. Marshall re -
(erred to the extra expenses incurred by
the juggling with textbooks. and did not
believe the results warranted the many
changes. In 1916. $22,000 had been paid
to the textbook committee, and 814,000
in 1917. He illustrated the unwarranted
expense which the peblic e as being put to
through the juggling in textbooks. by
pointing out that five different Latin
-
primers had been used in the last twenty
years the present one being 'very little
different from the original.
Mr. Ducharme (North Essex) discussed
the agricultural question and endorsed
the usefulness of tractors on the farms of
the Province. He urged the Govern-
ment to ()Nerve a real politit1I truce by
heeding Me suggestions of the Opposi-
tion.
Mr. Mete (South Essex) suggested to
the Government that experienced farmers
now working in towns and cities should
be sent back to the farms, and hinted at
compulsion.
ker. Dewart t Seuth-West Toronto)
said that had it not been for the nickel
taxation. which was largely due to Op
position criticism. the Government would
have been able to show a surplus of only
Sitil,(X10 instead of the million and three -
q uarters which they now claimed. Ile
expressed the hope that the Government
would collect the arrears of taxation on
nickel. Mr. laeuart considered the ex-
penses of administering the Workmen's
Compensation Board and the Ontario
License Board might be reduced. and sug-
ested the appointment of a 'cost-of-liv-
ng commissioner who could investigate
war profits and arrange that they be
axed.

tarty as the clock, received his own daily
papers, scanned all the other papers, and
departed with his pockets full of litera
ture. It was a liberal education for a boy
to watch him going borne daily laden with
papers, books and letters. his happy
smile indicating that he had found some
treasure, or his abstracted air showing
that he was deeply concerned over some
world problem, or it may be the fate or
fortunes of one of his boys.
He opened up for us a new idea of his-
tory, which up to that time had been
taught everywhere in a lifeless mechanical
way. Just then Mr. John Richard Green
completed his classical History of the
English People. and Dr. Strang at once
introduced us to that fascinating work.
In fact, he was always introducing us to
the best books, which he freely loaned out
of his own libery. Of these "Tom Brown's
School Days,""ToenlBrown at Oxford,"
and Trevelyan's "Life of Macaulay"
stand out in memory as beneficent forces.

While on the lookout for the "Lads of

dullards amongst us, but if we showed
Agin of wanting it he would gladly take
additional classes out of hours. Disci-
plinebever seemed difficult. Unlike the
School of Orbilius, perfect ewe cast out
fear. Meanness withered in his preeence,
and boys who did not work soon found it
convenient to go elsewhere. The tone of
the school was largely treated and domin-
ated by his personality, and the gratitude
of his pupils again and again gathered
them from different parts of the country
to do honor to thele ofd master.
Dr. Strang found time t- write text-
books in English which have been widely
used. His work was recognized by the
Government, by the University of Tor-
oato, by the Educational Association of
Ontario which elected him president. In
his caNcity• err keeping young. he re-
minded one strongly of Oliver Wendell
Hollnes. The road long travelled is apt
to develop ruts, but he carefully avoided
them, and to the last of his teaching days
was open to new ideas. He certainly has
mastered the art of growing old grace-
fully and wisely. Whether in the ardor o(
his youth, the staidness.' of his"middle age -
or the mellow ripeness of his later years,
we always think of him as the Christian
gentleman. the ideal teacher. the true
friend.. If only we could visualize all
that his fife has meant to these fifty-three
classes of boys and kilts who have lived in
and breathed his atmosphere. we could
perceive the marc than hundredfold re-
ward in the fruitfulness of one such life as
our beloved master's. Eternity alone
will reveal the decisive conversations,
wise words, and earrst prayers for the
success of his pupils. Browning has said:
"That low man goes on adding one to
one,
His hundred's soon hit:
This high man aiming asj fsillinn,
Misses an unit."
Hut our friend has not only influ eel the
