Ilea Dr. Pott, of Toronto1 in a, e -
cent speech advocatedthat there should
be establisbed tbrougbont Ontario a
minimum rate of salary for public
school teacbers. If it should prove
prate ieable to carry out this idea it
, would in effect be a practical recogni-
tion of the true status of school teach-
ers. Teachers are now, and always
will be, engaged in a work of peeper-
ing and fitting the young people of the
community to fill their plaees in the
community to the best advantage, uot
only of themselves, but also for the
benefit and advancement of the whole
people Knowing then that to thew
public school teachers is delegated this
task of etipretue importance it cat
hardly be add thut Dr. Potts' sugges-
tion to treat teachers as recognized of-
ficers of the etate is unreasonable and
beyond the bounds of careful consider-
ation.
Lest week a number ot apple afestee
,ers waited on tbe members of the
Ontario Government to ask for a, law
to prevent shippera to the English mar-
kets from packing their best apples on
top, and so deceiving buyers as to the
quality of the fruit. This is a Matter
which theDotniniop Parliantent should
deal •with. Ontario is not the only
province which exports apples to Great
Britain. lineraScot;a, New Brunswick
and Prince Edward Island are as deep-
ly interested as ourselves in bringing
about, honest dealing with our English
ottstomera, and putting a stop to a
stractete which will not only ruin the
truit trade but give Canada abed name
besides in the markets in which we
have most to gain or lose, If Canada
an exporters fail to recognize that it is
to their own interest to be honesathey
• must be taught that the Interests of
others are also concerned, and that
such sharper tricks as that referred to
• will he followed by prompt punish-
ment.
-e-
• The general expectation seems to be
tbat Ladysmith will now be left to its
fate, that Gen, Buller will remain in
Natal trerely to check further Boer
aggression, and that the main move-
ment aorthwest will now be made by
Lords Roberts and Kitchener across
the Orange Revere with Bloemfontein
and Pretoria as their objective points.
Lord Roberts will, it ie assumed, have
80,000 men or so at his base in about a
week's' time. •With these 30.000 he is
expectect to join hands with Gets.
• Freuch and Gatacre, giving him in all
45,000 to 50,000 men. V,Thile moving
northward with this force along the
central route, Lord Roberts will pre-
• sumably have the acting co-operation
of Lord Methune from the west, and,
:remembering the promise of a good
ehow at the fighting • front given to
the Canadians, it is to be expected that
Col. Otter aid his men will have every
opportunity Of showing their mettle in
this forward end, we may hope, final
effort

At the at. Marys council meeting on
Monday theaeport of special commit-
tee re wateraorks end electric light
management was read by Mr. Sharp,
who showed clearly that it would be
of great advantage to the towntto have
full control of electric light system,
which emed 1e run in connection witb
the waterworks. He instanced Goder
ath, which at present runs its electric
lighting systeto, and has found it sat-
isfactory." Mr. Sbarp further held
that by having au, two systems toge-
ther the town could have an all-night
supply of electric power for about one-
half present cost. By installing the
proper lights they could be run for 20
days with only one change' of carbon.
As it is now,it takes a roan nearly a
half day six times a week to re -carbon
the lamps which necessarily incurred
a good deal Of extra cost., The follow-
ing was fond to be the estimated cost
of li€,,hting under proposed system e
For stores, 16 candle power (c) 45e; res-
idences, 16 candle power (c) 20 to 30c.,
according to number of lights used.

The field iu 1990 seems more inviting
to the spread of the Enalists languege
than it did in 1$09, Thsyse great ne-

been non-progressive, exclusive, and

and Japan, are gradliallV growing ripe
for the reception of Anglo-Saxon he
etautione, learning and eivilization.
If the Anglo-Saxon nations are true to
their evidently Heaven appointed mis-
sion for the elevation of man to a high-
ly elevate ct plane in government, 'relig-
ion, equal rights, and in all that en -
antes the ritreS, their language must of
necessity Itist spread. The spreading
of the English lanauage does not ne-
asenrily the disuee of the other

foreign nations must learn the Ian-

The recent abandonment of certain
portions of the Proof Lme Road, near

maintained tbe toll gates on the thor-

and Dithlulph township councils are
strenuously protesting against the ac-

the greatest cause for complaint, as it
will be the most seriously affected.
One portion of the road abandoned ex-

to a point a Amyl; distance north of
Brongles bridge, and on it was located
one of the toll gates, the abolition ot

built at a cost of 514,000 or $15,000—an
expense which London township will
have to bear, if the abandonment of

will also:hereto maintain the structure.
.The other. portion abandoned by the
conmany is at the north end of the

and Biddulph, and on this there is also
