SPEECH 7100/ TUE THRONE,
Hon gentlemen of the Senate:
Gentlemen of the Bouso of Commons:
It is again my pleasing duty to congratu.
late you on the oonttnned prosperity of the
Dominion and on tbo remarkable ihoreaee
in the genera( volume of the reyenug and of
the exports and imports of the country.
TAE CANADIAN CONTINGENTS.
Hostilities having unfortunately broken
out during the reoesa between Great Britain
and the South African Republic, it appeared
to my Ministers expedient to anticipate the
aotion of Parliament by equipping and for-
warding two contingents of volunteers to
the seat of war as a practical evidenoe of
tho profound devotion and loyalty of the en-
tire people of Canada to the Sovereign end
institutions of the nrltlsh Empire. Io this
connection it to a matter of pride and grati-
fication to tbe people of this Dominion that,
in addition to these pontiogents sent by the
Government another Canadian force is be-
ing organized and despatched at the person-
al expense p1 the High Commissioner of
Canada, This generous and patriotic action
upon the part of Lord Strathoona reflects
high honor 00 him and on the Dominion he
represents. I have been instructed to eon-
vev to you Her Majesty's high appreciation
of he loyalty and patriotism thus diepluyed,
which, following the preterenee graatod an -
der the present tariff to artioloe 01 Rritleh
manufacture, hoe had the happiest effect in
cementingand intensifying the oordial re -
Y g
re-
lations existing between 11,11 Canada and the
mother country. A bill will be submitted
for your approval making provision for the
cost of equipping and paying the Canadian
contingent,.
The measures wbioh have been taken from
t
gine to time foodstuffs acrlltate the ante traar ler-
1
have s l20 alto Enr0080 1 marketsh
have resulted is a large iumeaee in the ex-
portation of several important nrtielea of
produce, and it may become necessary in
the interest of thio very important branch
of industry to require a more careful inspec-
tion than hue been auetomary for the pur-
pose of maintaining that high standard of
excellence heretofore secured, and which ie
absolutely indiepeosible if the people of
Canada are to increase their large and pro-
Mtahlo trade with other countries in these
commodities,
THE 008T000I00 0E70000,
I am glad to observe that the return• from
the Poetomoe Department afford gled
grounds for believing that the temporary
loss of revenue caused by the great reduction
recently made in letter postage will eeeedily
be made good by Lha increased correspond-
ence thereon.
Negotiations are now in progress with
several of our sister colonies in the West
Indies, whish, it le hoped may result in in-
creasing and developing 0111 trade with
these islands and possibly with certain pnr-
tioneof the adjacent continent of South
America,
wonarsounN'O 0000TIoxs.
It gives me greatiploasure to observe that
in pursuance of the policy which watt defin-
ed at the last session of Parliament, a care-
fully devised body of regulations hae been
adopted, applicable to all railway and pub-
lic works within the Federal jtvlsdictlon,
making adequate provielon for the sanitary
protection and medical oar° of workmen
Tbo attention of tbe Government hoe been
called to the conflicts which occasionally a-
1'lee between workmen and their employers
While it may not be possible to 'wholly pre -
Tent snob difficulties by legislation, my
Government thinks that many of the dis-
putes might be 000110d'11 better provisions
could be made for the friendly intervention
of a Board of Conciliation. the conclusion,
of which, while not legally binding, would
have much weight with both aides and be
useful in bringing an intelligent pablie opin-
ion to bear on these complicated enblecte.
You will be invited to consider whether the
Provincial legislation in this matter may
not be usefully supplemented by an eaact-
ment providing for the establiehment of a
Dominion tribunal for negating 1.. the eet.
tlement o} such questions.
I am happy to observe that the number
of settlers who have taken up lands in Man-
itoba and in the Northwest Territories 1e
larger than in any previous year, and afford
proof of the euccee1 which has attend-
ed the efforts of my Government to pro-
mote immigration, andI have no doubt
that the greatly iacreaeod production of
the Weet will henceforth add materially to
the growth of trade of the whole Dominion.
While the efforts made to 0eeure increased
population for the West have thus been euo•
ceseful, much attention has also been devot-
ed to the repatriation of Canadians who in
lees prosperous times have left Canada,
You will be pleased to learn that tbie work
hae been attended with satisfactory 000012,.
My Government, during the recce-, has
been giving its attention to the subject of a
railway commission. Valuable information
bee been and ie still being oolleotel, which
will be submitted to you, and will, no doubt,
receive at your hands the importance the
subject requires.
l am pleased to say that our canal system.
connecting the great lakes with the Atlantic
seaboard, has been completed eo as to al-
low ',easels having a draught of f0nrteea feet
to pass from the head of Lake Superior to
the sea. The vigorous and successful prose-
cution of these (works by my Government
has already attracted the attebtioe of those
interested in Western transportation, and
there are good grounds for the hope that,
when the naceseary facilities for the quick
and inexpensive handling of ocean truffle
are provided and which are is progress,
Canadian ports will control a much larger
share of the traffic of the West,

helm was built in S. S. No. 6, Grey, to
replace the one burned down last Winter.
It coat about $900. The Iola was Dover,
ed by fneuranoe. An excellent briok
eohoolhouee of modern design with base-
ment, furnace and complete in every par.
tioular was built in S, 5, No. 1, Tualter-
emith, at a oast of 51,400. A basement
with pine floor, furnace, eta , was put
under the brick schoolhouse in S. S. No.
9, Tuokeremith.
No schoolhouse should bo erected with-
out a basement for use as a furnaeo, fuel
and crap room, and au a playroom for the
junior pupils during wet and stormy
weather. During the present year brick
schoolhouses of the most approved de-
sign will be erected in Kinburn, Corrie
and Ford wicli,
The school lots are now all formed and
during the present year the teachers will
make a special effort to keep the school
premises neat, tidy and free from weeds,
scrape of paper, bread, ate.
TEACHane.
Of the 123 teachers in this division 58
are males and 85 females—a decrease of
one male teacher. There are 52 melee
and 38 females teaching in the rural
schools. During the year there were six-
teen changes of teachers and twenty five
at the end of the year, or forty-one in all.
The average salary paid during 1899 was
5314.10, a decrease of 810.40. The aver-
age salary in 1890 was $367 ; in 1895,
$352 ; in 1897, $334.50 ; in 1898, $324.50
in 1899, $314.10. The average salaries
for the last three years were as follows :
1897 1898 1899
Male teachers in
rural secbione..8358 8540 18 $340 12
Female teachers in

Male teachers in
towns 800 783 34 783 34
Female teachers in
towns 300 312 309 85
The township of Tuokeremith pays its
male teachers the highest average salary
in rural echool'', 5415.72, and McKillop
the lowest, 5280.16. The township of
Morris has the unique distinction of pay-
ing its females teachers a higher average
salary than its male teachers, viz., $300
and 5295 28. There are sixty Normal -
trained teachers ; four hold professional
first class cerrifioates, sixty seconds and
fifty-nine thirds.
The work done by the teachers during
the past year has been very 'satisfactory
as a whole, although a few teachers have
not succeeded as well as they themselves
or their ratepayers would have wished.
