JA)t, 1, 1886; TRUSTEE NOMINATION. -- According to statute the nomination of candidates for trustees for the School Board was held in the Council Cham - her on Wednesday of this week. Mrs. Hayden and 0. R, Cooper were nom- inated by J. R. Smith, seoonded by Jae. Buyers, Thos, Fletcher and H. Dennis were nominated by J. J. Den- man, seoonded by Goo. Armstrong. Election will take plane on Wednes- day of next week at the Town Hall, poll to be open from 0 a.m. to 5 p.m. James Buyers was called to the chair and the candidates and other gentlemen heard, T. Fletcher was a candidate at tate wish of his friends. Ho had always taken an interest in school matters. He believed in elect• ing trustees by ballot, was opposed to the teacher being Sec.-Treas. of the Board. If elected he would do all in his power to keep down expenses and work for the interests of the school. 0. R. Cooper said although strong• ly opposed he expected to be elected, Believed truateee should be elected by ballot. He believed in electing all teacbersby competition, from the Prin- oipal down. He did not approve of the Principal being Seo. -Trees, of the School Board. The teacher's agree ments could be conoelled at 8 months notice. One 2nd class teacher should not receive more than auothee. No teacher should be engaged for any particular room. He thought the stir last year was the mesas of doing good. If elected he would do his duty to the best of his ability. When the teacher's salaries were so high in our schools there were two let olass teachers, now competition was )teen and teacher's salaries lower, as the supply exceeded the demand. H. Dennis said he was asking the support of the electors for the first time. He had been put under a wrong light by persons canvassing for his opponents, as he was not brought out by the School Board, nor had he ever been asked about what he would do if elected. If some members of that Board supported him it showed their good cense. He ob- jected to the See.-Treas. being a teacher in the school. He believed in engaging good teachers. If there was one clique, as it was stated, he thought there were two. H e believed in economy and was willing to pay his share of taxes in keeping np the school. He had nothing to say about any other candidate. He would favor electing truetees by ballot. D. Hayden, in the absence of Mrs. Hayden, said :—If she was elected she would serve to the beet of her ability. As ehe was well vereed in school affairs, she would endeavor to help conduct business with efficiency and economy. Speeches were also made by J. R, Smith, F. S. Scott and E. E. Wade. The chairman of the Board pre - anted a statement of the attendance of pupils and a financial statement, from which the following was glean- ed :—Total attendance on roll, 844; Receipts for last year, balance from 331uc vale. The Chrietmae trees last week, both Presbyterian and Methodist, drew good houses. The proceeds which were $18 and $17, respectively will be applied to Sunday School pur- poses. About 75 men, mostly farmers, with a liberal sprinkling of eehool teachers, assembled in Johnston's Hall Monday 28th inst., at 12 o'clock to listen to the nomination of Beeves and Councilmen for 1886. The old Council, without an exception, were nominated to fill the positions, the same as last year. Samuel Black and Wm. Mundell also received nom. ination, but Black deolined to accept and Mundell, who was not present, is to bo heard from, If he cannot be prevailed on to resign, an election will be held next Monday, but it is safe to say that in any event the old Council will be the new Council. Considerable spouting was indulged in. The Poor House scheme, Iron Bridges and County Council coming in for severe denunciation. The taxpayers grew wrathy and eloquent over that grievous expensive fraud —the County Council. A suggestion by one of the orators, to abolish the preeent Council of 50 -odd members, and substitute an elective board of 9 members, 3 for each Riding, 2 to re- present the sons of toil, and 1 the dwellers in the towns and villages, was received with enthuaeiastic ap• plause. Politica and Scott Act were not even hinted at. One hundred and twenty-four can- didates wrote at the high achool en- trance examination in Stralhroy. The Colonist, Victoria, (B.O.,) has been sued for $10,000, and the Post for $5,000 for libel on Judge Walken, committed by publishing a report of the evidence of McNamee, a dry-dock contractor, before the Supreme Court of Ottawa, in which it was alleged that Walkup, while Premier of the Province, was interested in the dry dock contract.

WADE, Chairman B.P.S. Board. Sts.—In accordance with the regulations of the Education Department. I beg to submit my report of your school whioh I recently visited and inspected. The exam- inotian was partly oral andpartly written. In addition to my own examination of class- es I heard each teacher at work, thus en. ebling me to judge of his or her efficiency, and for the sake of clearness I take each department in order. In the first department, that of the Principal, I found a large class, and the examination showed that the pupils were well taught. They acquitted themselves in a vory creditable manner. I also noticed with pleasure that the order, discipline and management were of a very satisfactory charaotor. Tho second department, under charge of Miss Adams, I found also in an efficient straw—The pupils, in addition to being well taught, are under good control and pro greseibg favorably. In the third department, under Wee Richardson, the pupils did very well in the different subjects with the exception of arithmetic, which wife nearly equal to the rest. The discipline of this division is scarcely as good as it might be, I have no doubt but that it would improve if longer under the ohergo of the name teacher. With reference to the fourth division I can not report 80 favorably as upon the rest, this division is not under good control and discipline and oonsequently not as efficient as it should be, There is room for much improvement to be effected by the next teacher in charge of room. The remaining one, under Miss Boss, hAM improved since my last visit, the dieetpline is bettor and consequently the efficiency and progress of the room. I was very well pleased indeed with the state of this division. On the whole 1 was much pleased with the general efficiency and management of the school, flaw the honor to bo, Tour obedient soevant, D. M. MAnnoce, I. P. 5, Clinton, Deo, 80, North Huron.
