On Monday evg.,vgz in consequence ce of the dissatisfaction which had .av'isen amongst the ratepayers in the matter of a selection of a principal of . the Exeter public sohools, and also owing to the resignations of two of the trustees not being accepted by the Board of educa- tion, a public meeting of the ratepayers was called by the chairman of the board, in the town hall ; and notwithstanding the contra posters, issued by four of the trustees, arguing the foolishness and illegality of the meeting so called by the chairman, the representation of the electorate was yery large. The chair- man Mr. Wm. Grigg and Dr. Lutz' whose resignations had been laid before the Board and not accepted, and who could not hold with the others in the appointment made, desired to lay the matter before the public in order that they might govern themselves in aocord • ince with the wishes of their constituents, in resigning and forfeiting $20 each or holding their positions on the Board.

He got no seconder, and what was he to do ? The other trustees seemed to have their inan pick - d and hacl no difficulty in carrying a motion selecting Mr Tom. The doctor's idea of a teacher was a man of'maturer years, of thorough experience and ,one highly capable of taking charge of our schools,—among the most important in the county. At a subsequent meeting of the Board the doctor tendered his resignation but it was net accepted. He would not sign the appointment of Mr Tom and was thus placed in a ,peculiar position. He knew that by sanctioning the appointment would not be pleas• ing the people, and was glad he had an opportunity of putting hisposition fairly before the ratepayers. Mr. Tom was a respected young man, well educated, but as principal of the Exeter schoolshe did not consider hint thoroughly adapted. He was willing to do as the meeting, which represented the majority of the ratepayers, would think best,—resign and forfeit $20 or hold his position en ` the Board. He was placed there to look after the interests of the people, ,and when a matter greatly affecting the public welfare comes up in which, by acting against his conscience, he would not be doing right, and as public sentiment seemed to be in his favor, he thought it quite proper that the people should have his reasons for dissenting. He had given his reasons and now he wanted their opinion. • Mr. D. Mill the only trustee on the defence was called upon. Mr. Mill who was suffering from a cold, in giving his address labored under much giving. He said he did not regret the selection ; he would do the same again. He consider- ed Mr. Tom eminently qualified in every respect. He did not know that any un due haste was exercised_ For his part he had not had any particular man in his mind before the meeting. Dr. Lutz made his motion but got no seconder. Tb.e doctor had spoken of acouple of applicants at a distance, but preferring a man whom we know, I favored Mr. Tom. Mr, Hol. man was au applicant. I know Mr. Hol- man, he is a very fine man and I., reaped him. He (Mr. Mill) said he was placed in a bad position, and for a time d;l, not know which of the two men two.lipped. :Thinking NIr. Tom better qualified he supported him. Some persons speak of promising beforehand. For his part Mr. Mill promised no person lois support. He could not speak for the other trustees. He had been informed that the meeting called by the chairman of the Board was illegal, inasmuch as the sanction of the entire 13oard should have been given.

Collins was then called Contingencies upon to give his opinion on a question in dispute. Mr. Collius said to answer such a. question he would require the regular fee of $5, As a citizen and a supporter of the schools by his money, if nothing else, he re- gretted very much that school matters had drifted iu such an unfortunate course. He had taught school for a great many years, and at the best, even when the parents are at a teacher's lack, be had round it difficult to get the scholars under proper control. He thought it was unfor- tunate that any such trouble should arise. The scholars would keenly take advautago of it, discuss among themselves the situa- tion thoroughly and exercise a certain amount of rebellion, even were any teacher other than Mr Holman of lir Tom, engag- ed. They have been encouraged to do so and no matter who takes the situation be will encounter uphill work. It will of course be more difficult for Mr. Torn. With regard the chairman having a right to call the meeting he would say that, under the circumstances he was justified in doing so. While respecting Mr Tom, he did not deem him altogether the man for the position. He would advocate as lir. Grigg bad said; the engagement of a first class man, and if such a man cannot be selected from the number of applications at hand advertise again, offering a stated salary and specify - Mg the man then` there would be no difficulty in securing the principal desired. Mr. Collins thought the trustees who had hastily made the appointment had acted unwisely, injudiciously, and that in all fairness to their coustitneuts, they should reconsider their action, and if possible, secure a first-class Iran as principal of our schools. Realizing that we have no high school in Exeter we should aim at elevat- ing our public , schools to the highest standard. Mr. Mills speaks of being in a bad position between two men, Mr. Collins tasked how about the other this teen; why were their applicationa ignored 7 Several other eitiesus spoke, disapprov- ingly of the action of thea trustees, after which it was the unanimous request that a vote of the 'mooting be taken, asking the trustees to ro-consider their action, and rocind their selootioo, In response to the chairman's request a vast majority of the ratepayers stood up in favor of the motion only five approviug,of the action of thetrustees. 84500 00 40 00 150 00 s 135 00 175 00 100 00 135 00 200 00 34 89 $5499 89 Exeter council.

Carried AI. a.crl:T1; plant Total The Sphere of a Joarnal- The test of true journalism as of everything else lies in its effects, which should be educative and elevating, in- fusing a love of right, a hatred of what is Iow, petty ..and false, a zeal fur the reform of what is wrong and to uphold the cause of right and truth. If when rising from the perusal of a journal we feel-stimu- lated. eelstimulated. to take sides with the cause of righteoasnesss and justice, even at the seeming sacrifice of our personal interests, we may feel assured that such a publication is founded upon the eternal verities. Such a journalist asks himself first and foremost in the consideration of every topic, What is right ? Where lies the truth ? and after having settled this is plain sailing. Thus to elevate any sub- ject is to remove it out of the mists end fogs of prejudice and passion and petty personality. Self and all its binding influence are left behind and the truth is luminous in its own heavenly light. Such a journal can never be moved from its moorings, and any opposition is as futile as the angry waves at the base of a heaven -piercing rock, whose basking is unheard and unheeded at its summit. This is the sphere of true journalism, and the spirit should pre- vade its whole course. In this way the press can be made a power and a bless- ing. To lower the standard to mere personality is pro tanto to abuse the power of (the press, to degrade those within its influence, and to be veered around with every wind of passion or self-interest. Such journalism is n counterfeit unworthy of the name. 3fou purchase goods ,with no exoc - tattoa of aying fr hem, says Dr.,, Tal• Tal - maim, or go into debts which you cannot meet, you steel just so much money. ,If I gointo a gr•coer's store, and I buy sugars, coffees and greats, with no capacity to pay, for them, I am more dishonest than if I go into the store, and when the grocer's face is turned the other way, I fill my pockets r es with the astral of merchandise witand carr off a ham. In the one ease I take the merchant's time and Iris messenger to transfer the goods to my, house, whsle hi the other ease I fake none of the time of the nie'chant, and I wait' upon myself , and I transfer the goods 'without.. any trouble to him.
