THE SCHOOL BY-LAW. •
The :attexnteeneaf• the ratepayers' is
called to the by-law being published
un the, local ,papers,, and which will be
voted on on Monday, Oct; 20th. The
Board of Education find it necessary
to have more high school room, and
to relieve the cotngetettion, fit is pro-
poeed to build an, addition of two
roeente and a basement at a coat of
$700. '. As will blot steenrl',istu reading the
by-law the money is+ to be paid in
five equal anriusul instalments, Of $1616.-
79 each—covering principal and inter-
est. This means; about two mills on
the dollar—but the county will pay 1
to us, :each year an amount which is
more than one half of the annual 3n-
atallm•ents—so that the actual cost to '
the ratepayer wiU be not over one
mill o:n. the dollar. That makes the
issue clear cut—the tax rate will teat
be over one mill an the dollar more
than before. The large attendance at
the high school has reduced the call '
on
the- town tells year by about toque
mill. To keep up theattendance the
aew room are needed. The large at-
t+andaanoe reduces the rate of taxa-
tion, so that it is simply a Matter of -
ecenomy to vote fon- the by-law.

In a letter to Rev. Dr. T. Albert
Moore, Prime Mtinitster Ferguson has
said that in case the people vote for
goverment ent control the.government
will be; the sole importer of and ael'et
of liquors. No i;nd::vidual will be aa -
lowed to import or to sell,; also thet t
' will be no return to the bar or sa: e

' trent, he said; will honestly and zeal-

people's wish, whatever that may be,
as ,expressed at the polls.

ference between; Hon. Howard Fergu-

It was not intended that home work
sl±,ould be abotleshed 'altogether, but,
with some changes in the curriculum,
home work 'would be rendered less ar-

that regulations +governing the manage-
ment of public schools had been cut
down by 40 per cent., abolishing absol-
u to provisions, combining others, and
making all more flexible to permit local
