of Huron :
GrNerneto,—I beg leave to report on
the ettto of Publio 0h0o1 education in
the Inepeotorate of East Huron, for the
year 1901, ae f411owe :—
Teacher, salaries—There are 84 rural
Balled Seotione in EaetHuron, and 92
timbers, there being 8 double oohoole.
84 of tinge teaohere are gentlemen and 58
ladies. In 1890 the numbers were 01
male teaohere and 28 female teaohere. If
the change authorized .under the Saltool
Aot just introduced ie the Ontario Legis
laturo, viz grouping te number of rural
SDlnool Bootiono and building a central
graded sohool'to whinh the pupils are to
be drawn in suitablevane, be carried out,
the preesnt number, 84 male towhees, will
be rotund to about 12, so that in the
whole Inspectorate there will not be more
than 20 male teachers in all. We shall
thea have in the townships what we now
have in the oitiee, towns and villages, our
6011001s taught by ladies under a male
protectorate. I sincerely regret the palm-
ing of the male teacher. The average
salary paid male teaobers in rural sections
ie 3865.60, of females 3267,11, ao inorease
of 324.00 for male teaehereand 321.00 for
female teaohere, over 1900.
There were 15 changes of teaohere dur-
ing 1901, and 48 changes at the end of the
year, or 63 changes in all. Our schools
can never resell a high state of eftioienoy
while they change teachers so frequently.

Of these 124 teaohere, 78 are graduates
of some one of our Normal Schools, au
increase of 10 over last year. 4 hold first
class certificates, 77 second class, and 41
third class.
The teaohere all tried to do faithful,
honest work, and in most oases with em-
inent emcees. Four or five failed to give
satisfaction, not so mach from want of
earnestness as from lack of tuning aril -
Examinations, attendance, &o.—The
usual Eritrean and Promotion Examina-
tione were held during the year. 889
candidates wrote on the Entrance Exam-
ination, of which 279 paned Last

In 11 yeare the enrolled attendauoe has
deoreased 2556, end the average attend•
anae has, however, increased 6%..
Sohool houses—Two new sobool houses
were built during last year (1901),—•one in
U. S. S. No. 10, Kellett and Goderioh,
and one in II. S. S. No
12, Morris and
Hulled. The a
latter school house is the
most complete one roomed sobool that I
know of. The school houses of S. S. Noe.
8 and 5, Morrie, were also rebuilt. The
school house in No. 6, Morrie, is praoti
°ally a new building, and is in every way
a credit to the section. Although nearly
all our school houses are now good build-
ings, yet there ere three old shacks in the
Inspectorate,
ndne of which would be
a disgrace to a a to ttlement of Eequimax.
Miscellaneous — A very successful
Teachers' Inetitnte was held at Wiogham
on May17 and 18. The Model Sahoots
as usul, are doing excellent work. The
s
Continuation Class Sohoole in this divis•
ion received it
rant of 3440 from the
Government and an equal amount from
the County, making in all $880. Last
year both grants amounted to $940. I
may add that during the year I visited
every oohool at least twice, and many
oftener, The dates for two visits to each
oohool are appended. I will willingly
furnish any further information you may
desire. I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
D. Bonn.

Mon. The loans have been in amount

A Move is on foot in some of the cities
to abolish the customary ceremonies at
oameteriee in oonneotion with funerale,
thinking them useless, expensive and
often the oanee of eeriooe impairment to
health. There ie another matter of im.
portauoe—an old faehioued ouetom—that
should be done away with, that is the
publio exhibition of the dead at funerals.
Relatives and friends have ample upper.
tunity to Dail and have a last look at the
mortal remains before the publio service.
