George Midgely, principal of Lamb - ton Mills Public School, writes the World criticizing the education sys- tem of the Province (If Ontario. He says that his reasons for "sweeping out of the Governmene these political educators" are : 1. They have been in too long and consequently becrue dormant to the best Interests ot our country. 2. They are a family compact close- ly alliecl for selfish interests 3. The educational system under their control has become almost no system. 4. Every text book complied by a Grit (and the one that cap give the most Ald to election campeigns) is aothorized, irrespective of it being a required book or not. 5, The text books ate at exorbitant prices to feather the nests of the con - broilers and the ever changing curri- culum a Means for the authorizing of fresh books to drain money for the consolidation of the Grit party. "In closing I might say that I never took any interest in the provincial elections before, but, finding to my sorrow the most glaring evils in the present party in power, I would earn- estly appeal to all interested in educa- tion to weigh this matter thoughtfully and I am sure you canent fail to see some of these evils resulting from the present ROEIS Governin en t." eaes--ast Lirand Military Event, The city of Wiudsor, Ont., is to cele- brate Victoria Day on the 245h and 261.h in right royal style.

It remained for the Senate to take definite steps to restrict immigration to Canada. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, throughout the entire session just broughe to a close, refused to take steps to prevent diseased immigrants from corning to or remaining he Cate- ada. Not even the dumping on Can- adian soil, of persons, who were re- fused admission to the United States by representatives of that country, moved the Canadian authorities to action. The Senate, when theyre- ceived a bill amending the Inamigra- tion Act, at once incorporated amend - meets, which had been unsuccessfully urged in the Commons by members of the opposition. In their mad rush to secure immigrants the government have neglected the safety of those al- ready domiciled in Canada. Under the new regulations the danger from introdiection of disease will be averted in a small measure at least. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.
