WHY OUR YOUNG AUEN GO TO THE
CITIES.
Farm life at its beet is quiet, unevent-
ful, elementary. It gives broad play to
the simple energies, but palls for no buret
of supreme power, offers no field for the
display of imagination, learning, artistry,
oreativd genius. The farmer may be a
student, a thinker, even a profound
eoholar ; but be never feels the fine
stimulation caught from congenial or op-
posing intellectual forces. Be reads and
thinks and is philistine. He feels his
condition and meets it with bourgeois
calmness. He eende bis sons, to college
and makes lawyers, professors, ministers
or brokers out of them. He rarely thinks
of the other aide of the medal, or 000-
eidere the vast freedom, the broad im.
ruanity of hie rural life, what Dares he
is escaping, what strains, what rendinge,
what catnolysms. He would be sur.

his life is really the dream of the poet.
But 11 is neoeseary to check this tide

They are not polite enough,
They do pot try to improve.
They fail to have new ideas,
They are easily dieoouraged,
They underrate the business.
They fail to manage with tact.
They overestimate themselves.
They do not study the children.
They keep away from the pnpils.
They attend no teachers' meetings.

They think the eohool was made for

They read no educational papers or

They know so muoh that they learn no

They think most things take too muoh

They do not study the great masters of

They follow the same methods with

They do not find out what other

Tbey think they outlet learn anything

They neglect to think of the pupil's

They think inferior work does just as
well as gaod worts.
They rely ou the little stook of goods
they began business with. '
They do not determine to be the beet

They forget that the art of teaching is
an art that requires study.
They have become dry, stale and re.
pulsive to live children.
They began with a small stook of ideas
and have not increased them. •
They think any one can teaoh who
knows a little about the studies.
Do not seek for inspiration by study-
ing the methods of the best teachers.
Do not gee that the profession is as
high as the teachers themselves raise it.
Are not in real earnest to teaoh, so
that "to -morrow find them farther than

Do not take common sense as a guide,.
but hug a formalism handed down from
the dark ages..
Drop the 5015001 when it is out and
never think of it again until they come
before their pupils the next morning.
POLITICAL.
N. W. White, 8f. P. for Shelburne, N.
S., hae been made a Senator.
The Ontario Legislature will meet
about the second week in February.
Senator Kaulbaoh, of Denenberg,' N.
S., dropped dead on the floor of the Sen-
ate Chamber at Ottawa.
Provincial Treas. McMillan and Pro-
vieoial
Secretaryameron e
m on were elected
by acolamabion in OWinnipeg.
Lieut. -Governor Chapleau says he has
no intention of returning to political life,
and would never join the resigned Minis-
ters' faction if he did return.
The writ for the South Wentworth
election for the Legislative Assembly has
been issued. Nomination will take place
on Jan. 17th, and )lolling a week later,
the same dates as to West Wellington.
Sir Adolphe Caron bas accused Dr.
Montague of writing anonymous letters

with corruptacoeptanoe of, money. Itis
admitted the lettere were written, but
Dr. Montague denies that he ie the
author.
The natural inurease of Canada's pop•
ulation during the laet census decade
was 000,000. Daring the same decade
886,000 immigrants arrived in the Do-
minion, making a total increase of 1,786,•
000. Of these 500.000 remained in the
Dominion and 1,286,000 joined the exod-
us. 'It is time the policy which caused
euoh results was reversed.
Alexander McKay, M. P., of Hamilton,
has been made Collector. of Customs at
Hamilton, in plane of Mr. Kilvert, who

Arthur Boyle, M. P., of Mouck, becomes
Colleotor of Ouetoms at Niagara Falls,
and Mr. Bain, M. P., for Soulanges, has
been appointed post office inspector for
Montreal district. Tbey are all getting

The election in Viotorin, B. C., con-

Prior at Controller of Inland Revenue,
with a that in the Cabinet, resulted in
the return of that gentleman by a small
majority. The city proper gives Col.
Prior 1,544; Mr. Templeman, 1,486.
Col. Prior's majority will be augmented
by the country vote. There is surprise
in the Tory damy there, where the ma-
jority of over 600 for the Conservative at
the last general election has been reduced
to 86. Mr. Templeman, the Liberal can-
didate, has been beaten, but the fight has
been more of a victory for the Liberals
than a defeat in this nearly twenty yearn'
old Tory stronghold, It means a Liberal
victory in the general elections,

against 8241,000,000 in 1804, a dooreaes

the decrease was $20,000,000. Our ag.
gregate trade with Great Britain was less
in 1896 than in 1804 by $16,000,000, and
with the United States more by over
$6,000,000. Our purchases from Great
Britain were lees than one-half what they
were in 1804, and from the United States
hey were just the same figures as in
874. Our purchases from Great Britain
were lees, and from the United Stator

ties
Theso reatodo,son the advocates of this .re.
form urge for euoh a change, ie the man-
ner in whish the present law disorimin.
at
es es agfkfnet those who employ labor in
improving their property, or in the
manufacture of good. It ie pointed out
that there are two methods of securing
wealth from the land. One method
clears, fences, ereote buildings, raises
grope or manufaoturee goods. The man
who thus uses the land 18 by every pro.
ductive aot industriously, honestly and
beue6cently adding to the prosperity of
the nation, and if a man thug acquiree
wealth, he does it in a way that injures
no one.
On the other hand a man may keep
land in idlenree, employ no labor, and
nothing whatever to prosperity ; but be
may actually injure the country, by re-
tarding and nattering settlement, and
by keeping labor in enforoed idleness.
He may simply wait till inoreaeed settle•
went and the industry and enterprise of
his neighbors have made that land vale
able, as is always the Daae in growing
cities.
Now, here are two uses, or rather a use
of land and an abuse of land. One man
uses land to beget wealth by his industry,
the other uses it to eecnre wealth at the
expense of others. The one use is bene•
Scent and should be encouraged, the
other is injurious and should be dis-
couraged. It is claimed that oar present
Iawe encourage this misuse of the land,
for, if a man improves/ his land in any
way, the law insists that his taxes must
be increased, so that the better a man
doee for his country, the worse the coun-
try does for him. The speculator on the
other hand by avoiding improvement,
keeps down his taxes.
It ie further claimed that in'our •large
cities the land value rises to euoh enor-
mous figures, that, the land owner may
collect from $10,000 to 860,000 per acre
per annum, end euoh is the relation that
this begets in eooiety that while the
farmer moat toil industriously to raise a
crop every year or humauity would
starve, the collectors of these land values
need provide nothing for humanity, and
yet reap the profit of many farms.
Thus while one part of the community
must toil liner ebioall to maintain q the'
burden of eooiety, including the taxation
for Government, and yet enjoy but little
of its benefits, another olaee may enjoy
the bleeensge of eivilization to overflow-
ing, and yet be relieved in perpetuity
from any of its burdens. And it is
further pointedout that the making of
public improvements, euoh as highways
and other means of communication,
while increasing the burden of taxation
on industry, brings additionalfortune to
the ground lords who colleot the enhanc-
ed ' land values in the centres of com-
merce. Thus the burden to one part of
sooiety means riohee to the other part.
Tbie inequality it is sought to remedy
by asking the Legislature to diminish
the taxation on buildings and other im-
provements and thea iuorease taxes on.
laud' values.

The folly of prejudice is frequently
shown by people who prefer to suffer for
years rather than try an advertised rem-
edy. The millions who have no euoh
notions, take Ayer'e Sarsaparilla for
blood dieeaees and are oared. So muoh
for common sense.
