School Statirtties.
From the report of the 'Minister of
Eduei tion for 1897, we learn that the
school popiuetioo of Huron,exclusive'
of towns,was`16,378; this is not equalled
by any single county in the province.
Of this number 12,739 attended school.
In Clinton the school population' is
returned as 672, Goderich 1026, Seaforth
758 and Wirgham as691. The number
of rural teachers in Huron was 216, of
which 122 were males and 94' females.
In eunrber of teachers employed there,
are six counties that employ more than
Huron. The highest rural salary paid
in Huron is $700; the average for
males $374, for fem+ties $280. In Wel-
land and York as high as $800 is paid.
The total receipts for school purposes
in Huron were $135,271. and the total
expenditure, $100,624; this includes sal ,
cries, school buildings, rents, etc. There
are six eeparate aehoola in Huron, with
a total attendance of 401, ono fifth of
these being in Goderieb. Clinton, Sea.'

twdck last, Mrs. Melte„. who broke her.
thigh a year ago, ilia been bedfast ever
since, she has lost her petit.r of speech,

person. The house is so crowded now
that some of the inmates have to sleep'
in the basement, a thing that was never'
intended at first. One night recently,
Mrs. McGuire, who is aged 05 years
and as lively* as n Cricket, got up in her
aleop, dress :ed herself, opened the base-
ment window and walked out into the
knelt night air, when she quickly real-
ized what she had dare, and called'
loudly to be let in; Mrs. French got up
and attended to her, eoutracting a se
