OTE S AND COMMENTS.
The maintenance a High School
and Collegiate Institutes is becoming a
heavy drain on the public tax payers,
and, it is little raarvel that they expos-
tulate. The report of the Minister of
Education for the Province for 1892
showed thab 22,230 pupils attending
High Schools and Collegiate Institutes
eoat the enormous sum of $701,503,
whilat over ten times the number of
pupils in Public Schools, 256,642, only
coat $4,076,241 ; or the Public School
aiupils are educated at a cost of $8.34 a
Pupil, whilst High School scholars cost
the country $34.26 per pupil.
The average cost per pupil on the
number enrolled in 1891 tor counties,
was $7,25 ; for cities, $13.57, and for
towns $8.92. There is a very strong
opinion, setting in that the puplie should
not:be: taxed to support education' any
further than the public schools afford,
or for any education extending further
than the fifth form, ft is contended
that those requiring the higher branches
should be willing to pay for it. Why
Should the artizan, mechanic and labor-
er be taxed to educate the professional
classes? This is tbe argument used.
But further, it is a serious question
whether this higher educationior rather
cramnaing, is not overdone, and the
large expense to the taxpayer for High
School education in the majority of
cases, worse than thrown, away. At the
best, schools only furnish the tools
whereby one may educate himself.
Strictly speaking, every man is aelf ed-
ucated, for no person can think for
another oi use another persores brains.
And the facilities for self -education are
so amplenow thatany'peraon of ordinary
capacity who has passed tbe fifth form
in our public schools by application may
acquire the highest scholaatic attain-
ments without being dependant upon
the public to pay for it.

The Ministers of the Government
have every reason to feel gratified at the
result oftheir tour lathe western part of
the province. They ha,ve been favored
with most delightful weather, have been
listened to by attentive and approving
crowds, have been met with lavish hos-
pitality evorywher
ate te emselves with having made a dis-
tinct impreasioa in their enunoiations of
the policy which they intend to pursue.
Although the tour has been brief, yet it
was everywhere demonstrated that a
truly national spirit prevails', that a
pride of country permeates all elements
of it, and that there has been no such
political unrest as has been pictured.
Thousands of farmers have heard Sir
John Thompson set forth in plain sen -
tomes the business policy which the
Government have decided upon. It has
been shown that at a season of diaaster
-which seems to envelop the world, Can-
ada has:fared better than any other
country, with a safe currency, a careful
and far-seeing banking system and wise
administration of public affairs. The
crisis which has shaken the inatitutions
of other countries and brought financial
disruption upon them, has fallen very
lightly upon Canada.

A Timely Suggestion.
---
Abel Walper, a brainy and secoessful
Usborne township farmer, was in Berlin the
other day talking up a rchenie to remedy
the depression in the export cattle trade.
He suggeste recommending to the mambas
of the Government on their tour through
the West the advisability a establishing
slaughtering stations in the aountry where
fatted cattle could be killal under leaped -
ion and be branded according to quality,
thereafter to be shipped in refrigerator
cars and in refrigerator compute:tents by
steamehip to the old country markets,
thereby overcoming the evils of the en:them°
on live stock and possible losses througn
accident or death in traneit, also creating
a greater impetus in trade and stimulating
a languishing industry. He might also
-
have added to this the great advantage to
agricultural interests which would result
from fattening store cattle at home instead
of sending them abroad to be fitted for
market and then sending over food to be
used in putting the finishing touches on
them in the mother country. The aug-
geetion is decidedly a good one and should
not be lost sight of, as the cattle trade
with Great 13ritein ieassurcdly OHO of the
meet important faotors in ,building up and
maintaining the agricultural resources of
the country. The cold storage system
should provide a predicts' solution to the
problemaud its adoption shoulki not be un-
necessary delayed. By all means let the
subjset be thoroughly discuseed and
promptly brought to the notice of the Min.
isters, who are now wish us for the exprees
purpose of hearing how they can best serve
the interests of their conetituents.

The Stafea Fair.
The annuel all Fair of rthe Hibbert
eel society was held in Staffa on Wed-
nesday last. The weather was fine, the
exhibits lerge, but the attendance smell
owing to the dates being wrongly ad-
vertised in the Seaforth and Mitchell
papers. The gate receipts amounted
to over $100. Altogether this was
good fair and a credit to the directorate
and members. Following la the prize

THE KIRICTON
This fair was held on Thursday and
Friday last, and as usual, was a success
in every, particular, and had it not been
for the bad weather on Friday would
have been a big succese. Every depart-
ment was well filled, the show of stock
being larger than at any fair thie season
(none excepted) and eN erg animal in
good condition. The judges foaled, it
difficult in making meritorious awards.
The indoor display was very large, the
handiwork of the ladies making up a
beautiful exhibit, while in roots and
vegetables there has never been a finer
lot seen m this section.
The speeding on the track drew a
large crowd, and held their attention
throughout.
The Green Trot was keenly contest-
ed, though Mr. Bell'horse maintained
the lead throughout. Following are

The Heron County union of Christian
Endeavor Societies held its mond annual
convention in the Carmel Presbyterian
29th.
Church, Hensel!, on Friday, September
Ciroulais and invilations had been freely
distributed among all denominations where
Young People's Societies were organized,
asking that delegates be appointed to attend
and help to make this (immolation both
pleasant and profitable. Nor were the
officers disappointed, for the ettendanee
was good, and the aeepeat interest prevail-
ed anoughout the seesionr.
The merniug semi= (10:nuanced at 10
o'clock, with Presideut ileederson in the
(Main
He mince up Rem Mr. Swan, of Hensel],
for th3 address of welcome, who on behalt
of the local sooieties, and the kind people
of Hensall, wished the delegates to enjoy
their extended hospitality.
An acknowledgement was then made on
behalf of those present, by the Rey. John
Ross, of 13rageele.
The minutes of the Winghara*monvention
was read and adopted. Then following re-
ports from the Searetary and the difterent
Sooletlea of the county, ehowing that the
Union had made a very marked increase
over the past year and inspired a deter-
mivation for a most *vigorous campaign the
coaling year.
Rev. Mr. Henderson was appointed dele-
gate to attend the Provincial Convention,
which is to be held in Si. Catharines, ou
October 10th, llth and 121b.
The afternoon mud= was opened with a
prayer and praise meeting led by Rem E.
Softley, Heiman, after whioli reports were
given of the Montreal and Cleeland Inter-
national Convention, by Pres. Henderson,
of Hensel!, and A, X. Coopev, ot Clinton,
respeetively. "e•-• . • m
The following/doom were then reported

Mr, A. Ireland, Wingham ; Seoretary, A,

The President's addrese was lull of good
suggestions, and if space woald permit we
should like to have it printed in full. The
Christian Endeavor stood higher in num-
ber, influence, and power than ever before;
the Society had more infinence on present
civilisation than its ninny system ; it set-
tled the ;question of questionable mese-
meats by substantial employment..
The President elect, Rev. G. H. Cobble -
dick, gave an excellent talk on 'The Pledge.
Why?' Although a subject that has often
been talked from, yet the President brought
to light many new reasons why:this golden
bound pledge should be used by every
S°413HieitnY19 for the Prayer Meeting' was in-
troduced by Miss Stewart of Goderloh,
and she gave suoh an excellent paper that
the Convention, in the disoussion which
followed, knew of no other ways that the
model prayer meetings, asdescribed by Misa
Stewart, could be im;roved on,
Misa Grace Elder, of Seaforth with the
subjeot'The Country Soolety,' gave many
new hints to soeieties in rural districts and
which no doubt will be practised by there
during the coming 12 months.
Rev. Mr. Kadin, of Hayfield, on the
subject 'Evangelization among the young,'
gave his personal experience of the work
done in Liverpool, where he has, until a
few months -previous, resided, and took an
active part in this important work.
The evening program was • somewhat
changed, yet it proved very interesting and
helpful.
Bova. W. Holmes, of Clinton in the
absence of Rev. Sellery, of Wingliam, gave
an enthusiastic address although he did
not know he had to speak until some
twenty minutes previous to the time of
meeting. He said the grandest work to
which one on turn our attention, the place
to be able to do important and responsible
work was to be identified with the cause of
Christ.
Rev. J. H. Larkin, of Chatham, wire
on 'Concentration,' sinoe it was the part
which the Y, P. 5 of 0 E. has emphasized.
He mentioned Drummond as saying what
the World wants is not more men, but 'a
better band of men. You could not please
Satan moro than for a Christian to buckle
on the harness arid jump right into active
work, but thia is what Christ wants.
Good singing was provided by Miss Hoff-
man, of Staffa, and the Goderich and Hen-
ohoirs.
The next convention will be held in
Clinton, the date to be deoided by the
Executive Committee,

Is the sad story of many lives made
!miserable through no fault of their own.
Scrofula is more especially than any other
a hereditary disease, and for this simple
reason: Arising "from impure and llama-
oient blood, the dittoes° locates itselt in the
lymphatics, which are composed of white
tissues, there is a period of loetal life whea
the whole body °etiolate of white themes,
and therefore the unborn child is especially
sueceptible to this dreadful disease. But
there is a remedy fax eorofula, whether
hereditary or acquired. It ia Hood's Sars-
aparilla, which by it powerful effeet on the
blood, expels all trace of the disease and
gives to the vital fluid the quality and
olor of health. If you decide to take
Ifood'e Sarsaparilla do" not accept any
substitute. ,
