The representatives of the lakeshore
municipalities who met in Goderich on
Monday had two important matters to
consider. One was the disposition c(

For unionism implies the right to strike
and it means that the right may be ex-
ercised when occasion arises.
If a teacher wishes, he has a right to
withdraw from the profession. He may
terminate an engagement at a time in ac- i
cordance with his agreement. But we 1
question very much whether It would be
right for a large number of teachers to
quit work at any time in a term, and thus
cause great inconvenience and loss to the
public and to he children under their
charge. Teachers are public servants and
in a high and noble sense of the word.
ano they would soil their service and
lower their calling by restating to a

Civil servants of any kind should be
debarred from striking. S) should civic

prises where the safety and convenience
of the public are concerned.

Municipal Board. The municipalities
have a twofold objection to this devia-
tion
ispst-tion of the funds. One is that the muni-
cipalities have been prosecuting a lawsuit
against the Toronto General Trusts Cor-
poration for alleged careless and improper'
use of money derived from the sale of
bands guaranteed by the municipalities.
The other objection is that the mottey.aa
at present disposed will not yield as large
a rate of interest as otherwise it might. It
is proposed that the money be invested in
Vi tory b.nds, the proceeds of which
would practically cover the guaranteed
bonds of the railway. when they become ability to the furtherance of co -opera -

.The que•tion now U. shall a further ap-
peal be made ? ft is unfortunate. perhaps.
that in a matter of this kind all the pros
and cops of the case cannot be publicly
discussed. That large wars of m ,fey
were paid out in a grossly improper man-
ner there can b• no deufe. Whether the
defendants can shie'd themselves behind
the technicalities of the law is another
matter. and the municipal representatives
have a large responsibility in deciding
whether there shall be a further tat of
the law or the case he allowed to drop
and the municipal taxpayers be saddled
with the burden of other people's blun-
dering.
The Signal believes that almost any
sten, if the case were his own. would fight
it out. Not only in consideration of the
money involved -some $200,000 - but also
for the principle at stake. it is desirable to
have the opinion of the highest -curt in
the realm. A palpable wrong has been
done, and we believe if the case could be
openly discussed the general opinion
would be that the resources of the law
should be utilized to the utmost in the
effort to secure redress.

The company organized in connection
with the United Farmers of Ontario to
publish a daily paper has made consider.
abk progress in its preliminary work, but
it will be some time yet before the new
daily makes its bow to the public. in the
meantime a "convention number" has
been issued in magazine form. and we
understand it is the intention to issue nine
more numbers in similar form. making ten
in all, to tide over the time until the
preparations for issuing the daily are com-
pleted.
This "convention number" of The t1n-
ited Farmer of Ontario contains some
ninety pages and is full of readable mat-
ter, of interest especially to those who
wish to be informed concerning the new
farmers' movement. There is a very full
report of the recent U. F. 0. convention,
with editorial and other matter carefully
written. and altogether it is a moat credit-
able introductory number, giving the
reader an appetite for more.

Unionizing Scheel Teachers.
Mount Forest Confederate
Saturday Night. a Toronto publication
that is not a very afe guide. advises
Canadian public scMal teachers to form a
union in order to improve their financial
status. They are to divorce themselves
from the protrusion of pedagogy and ply
the trade of teaching. They are to make
their own scale of pay and not "leave it
to a lot of tightwads in the form of
bards of trustees "

taking the lead in having this article
printed in as many paters as possible
