Y. M. C. A. In Bruce County.—A well - attended couvrrtiun of enthusiastic knits (eters and Christian iaynren of Bruce County was held to Walkerton, June 28, .for the purpose of introducing the Coun- ty plan of Y. M. C. A. work in Bruce. A /number of those actively engaged In the work in Canada and United States were present and gave addresses. The County Committee for Bruce was ap- pointed, and as eooa as the budget of $1900,00 for the year le raised, , a County Secretary will be called to begin organization. Bruce la the second of 'the counties in the Dominion to Intro- duce the Y. M. C. A. County Work. TEACHERS' WAGES.—The weary and tare -worn school teat -her le now enjoy- ing a few weeka of much needed rest after a terns of six months of tiresome mental and physical labor. Many per - eons who have had no experience In the tea hi ng line seem to think that any common school teacher whose wages are from $23 to $40 a month ought to make an Independent fortune 111 a short Hine. Let Puoh a one atop and consider what Is expected of a teacher. In the first place ehe is expected to be well dressed at all times, which le no small item of expense. She ea expected to buy all the latest books, and subscribe tar all the popular educational journ- als of the day, and attend teachers' meetings whenever and wherever held. All these requirements are attended by no small expense, and the teachers who comply with them will find at the close of the year, that they have a very small Portion of their earnings to lay up for a "rainy day." Do you not understand by this that such requirements are uaelese. But when It has become al- most absolutely necereary for a teacher to attend all such meetings as those who have supervision over them shall appoint ; it should be also required of the board of education and directors that they pay their teachers such wage. as will enable them to attend and have enough of their earning, left to het them until the school terra le gens again. +--- 1111811 NINE TAKE' ROTH Lucan July 1st.—Before large crowds to -day the Irish nine defeated the Wa- bash team of S•.
