ure of piano; and not long afterwards

citizens elected him a member of the
Waterworks Conunission, of which he
was chosen chairman.

Premier Drury would have free resi-
dences erected for teachers in rural
sections, besides paying then a salary.
His plan is to follow the custom now
ruling with regards to preachers, and
expects this to crake stale instruction
permanent. 11 is interesting to note,
however, that the rural ministry is not
at all satisfied with the small salaries'
given under this' system. It would be
interesting to see whether this would
also apply to teachers.
