VOTE FOR I T
Tee citizens of Exeter have a serious
queatlon to tate on Friday, when t
vote on the \Vater-wurks By-law. It la
a serious (natter to vote against t1.1e
by-law which will provide ua wit!: a
system of waterworks for fire purpoaea
of, wretch we have been much In treed
tor many Years. The beat thought of
tee citizens and cauncll has tacit eon-
centrated oa the question for some time
and the proposition now before us Is
tee only feasible one that has been
brought fortt:. Consider It well, rate•
payers, before you decide. Do not have
anything to regret after you have voted.
Do you wise to have a town of that
size in the sante position that an Iselat-
bu:lding might be !n -with no protcctt '
AgaL`:st fire that may occur at any time.
It. any one of a hundred different ways
and with very serious lose where build-
ings are close together? Do not let us
rest in larded security until some day
we awaken to find a goodly portion of
the place in ashes. The lose In that
case would be much greater than the
cojt of the system outlined would be.
After several montes of serious thought
and several years of consideration ties
la the only good proposition offered.
Let us be equal to the occasion and see
tnat Exeter runs eo further risk of be -
Ing wiped out by a fire we are unable
to cope with. Let us accept the chance
teed vote for the by-law on Friday.
NOTE AND COMIJIENT.
In a letter to the Minister of Educa-
tion a school board draws attention to
the difficulty rural boards of trustees
are e>iperlencI g in getting qualified tea-
t -etre for the salaries that are offet•ed.
T:.ey are firtdit,g It next to impossible
to c..gage competent teachers to fill ez-
isting vacancies for any salary short of
44uo. The wonder ought to be. not that
teachers decline to work for lees, but
that they are expected to do so. Four
hundred dollars le nowadays hardly
less of a pittance for a year's service
than $200 was a dozen years ago. The
problem of making ends meet on $20u
a year was not much harder of soar -
Boa than is that of llvh'g on $4110 a
year at prescc:t.
Tee new series of readcra far Rua -
pauses gnat whim it supersedes in pobe
of elccJe:ice of material and manufact-
ure. Heavier paper le used and In the
third and fourth books where !ewer 1!-
luetratic•ns acco.npatcy the test, the coat-
ed parer, who.ae rinse was very r.ard
on the eyes Of t to reader, has been die-
eart'eJ. Alit tie books contain illuetrt-
Beale drawn espeeally for use in thein,
and in the majority o: cases by Carad-
Ian artiste. The new books, too. are
much larger than the old Ontario read-
ers The old printer had 81 pages; the
new has 96. The old first reader had
96 and the new one has 128. The old
eecoarl reader had 154, the new Inas 224.
Tne old third reader had 298 pagee.and
the new has 352. The old fourth book
had 344 pages, the new has 416. The
books for the (ower grades, whir:. for-
merly had limp covers, now have cloth
beallege. At the same time the prices
[.ave been reduced to less than ore -half
of those of the books which are nowt
going out of use.
The amount of the County levy on true
minor municipalities for the year 1909
