Educational Changes.
Course of Study in Public and High
13chools—iiig1 School Grants.
The following is a summary of some
of the improvements recommended by
• the Minister of Education for adoption
at the end of the summer vacation. :-
1. PLIBLIO SCHOOLS—COURSE OF STUDY.
The separation of the first four
classes, as part one, from the 5th and
6th classes distinguishes the elementary
from the secondary Bubjects. The re-
spective proportion of pupils in the 5th
and 6th classes, is only 3 per cent., and
340ths of one per cent. of the , total
number of children. The course in
part onecan thus be more readily made
Similar in Public Schools generally, as
well as in the Provincial and CouutY
Model Schools. The obligatory subjects
are confined to sueh as are essential in
elementary education. It is also now
placed within the pewer of trustees to
afford elementary instruction in ele-
mentary physics and principles of agri-
culture, and proper text -books are au-
thorized therefor. Suggestions .for the
guidance of trustees and teanhers will
be prepared by the Central Committee
of Examinere in explanation of the scab-
• Teets in the course, as well as to the
methods of teaching them. The sub-
jects and courses are to be taken as ob-
ligatory only upon trustees so far as the
circumstances of the particular school
in their judgment will allow.
2. HIGH scHOOL—COURSE OE STuDy.
Lower School—The subjects of study
which are obligatory are confined to
such as are essential in secondary edu-
cation, such as English grammar, litera-
ture,composition,history and geography,
arithmetic and. bookkeeping, dm, while
such higher subjects as algebra and
eaclid, natural philosophy, chemistry
and botany, Latin and Greek, etc., are
made optional with High . School
• Boards as they think expedient in the
circumstances of their school.
The intermediate • examination be-
comes only a test of the fitness of each
pupil to proceed to the Upper School,
and the obligatory subjects are now
confined to three groups instead of four,
and. limited to English grammar and
literature, composition, dictation, arith-
metic, and drawing and one of the fol.
lowingeultjects or groups, at the option
of colt candidate, viz. (1) algebra and
euella, (2) history and geography, (3)
any two of natural philosophy, chem-
istry, botany, (4) Latin, (5) any two of
French, music, German. La order to,
prevent immaturity and consequent
craendning each candidate must have
attended two years at least in the
High School, or in the Public School
dth and 6th classes after passing
through the 4th classes.
In the upper school, while the sub-
jects may be as high as required of first
class non-professional teachers' certifi-
cates, and for junior and senior metric-
rds.tion, yet the parent or guardian of
any child is at liberty to select with the
approval of the head master any au-
thorized subjects which will best suit
the putposes of the child. High School
Boards can, if they choose, provide in-
struction in botany, and principlee in
agriculture, and text -books are au-
thorized for these purposes.
HIGH SCHOOL GRANT.
The distribution ofthe High School
grant, to take effect '1st of January
next, no longer recognizes any payment
upon the results of the intermediate or
upon average attendante, and instead,
each school having' two teachers will
receive a. fixed grant of 8500, and in ad.-
dition 45 per cent. of the amount of
the aggregate salaries above 02.000, bat
not to exceed $750 in all. Collegiate
institutes may receive, in addition to
the above, the further grant of 33t per
cent. of the aggregate a,naount of the
teachers' salaries paid in excess of
#5,000, bat limited to the sum of $750.
Collegiate institutes—Conditions re-
tenired are: Suitable buildings and
premises: laboratory and apparatus for
teaching cheinistry practically; four
masters, specially qualified in English,
mathematics, classics, natural sciencee,
and modern languages, and excellence
of school thus required always to be
maintained. No new collegiate insti-
tute is to be established unless all these
conditions are complied with, and un-
less the yearly salaries of four masters
shell amount in the aggregate to $5,000.
A Modern Sermon, by an
Amateur Preacher.
Brethren, the words of my text are:
"'Old Mother Hubbard, she went to the cup-
board,
To get her poor dog a hone;
But when she got there the cupboard was bare,
And co the poor dog had none."
"These beautiful words, dear friends,
carry with them a solemn lesson. I
propose this evening to analyze their
meaning, and. to attempt to apply it,
lofty as it may be, to our every -day life.
`Old lother Hubbard. she went to the cup-
board,
To get her poor dog a bone."
"Mother Hubbard, you see, was old;
there being no mention of others, we
may preserne she was alone; a widow
—a friendless, old, solitary widow. Yet,
did she deepair ? Did she sit down and
weep, er read_ a novel, or wring her
hands ! No ! the went to the cupboard.
Stud here observe that she went to the
cupboard. She did not hop, or skip, or
run, or jump, or use any other peripa-
tetic artifice; she solely and merely
went to the cupboard..
"We have seen that she was old and
lonely, -and we -now further see that she
was poor. For, rnark, the words are
dite cupboard.' Not 'One of the cup-
boards,' or the right-hand cupboard,' or
the deft hand cupboard,' or the one
above, or the one below, or the one tin-
der the stair, but just the cupboard.
The one little hurnble cupboard the
poor widow possessed. And why did
she go to the eupboaed ? Was it to
bring forth golden goblets or glittering
peecious stones, or costly apparel, or
feasts, or any other attributes of wealth?
It was to get her poor clog a bone! Not
only was tlae widow poor, but her dog,
the sole prop of her age, was poor too.
We can imagine the scene. The poor
dog crouching in the cdnaer, looking
wistfully at the solitary cupboard, and
the widow pinebto that cupboard—in
hope, in expectation ratty be—to open
it, although we are not distinctly told
that it was not half open or ajar, to
open it for that poor dog.
" 'But when she got there the etiOaarl was bare,
And so the poor dog had non.e.'
I 'Wheu she got there!' You see,
dear brethren, what perseverance is.
You see the beauty of persistence in
doing right. She got there. There
were no turnings and twistings, no
/clippings and. slidings, no leaning to the
neht or falteringt- to the left. With
glorious simplicity we are told she got
there.
"And hew was her noble effort- re-
warded
"'The cupboard was bare!' It was
bare! There were to be found neither
oranges' nor cheesecakes, nor penny
buns, ;tor gingerbread, nor crackers,
nor nu s, nor Moiler matches. The
cupboard was bare! There was but
one, only one solitary cupboard in the
whole p1 hat cottage, and that one,
the sol hope of the widow, and the
glorion loadstar of the poor dog, was
bare! Had there been a leg of mut-
ton, a 1 in of lamb, a fillet of veal, even
an ice rom Gunter's, the case would
have ben differeut, the incident would
have b en otherwise. But it was bare,'
my brethren, bare as a bald head, bare
as an infant born without a caul.
"Many of you will, probably say,
with all the pride of worldly sophistry
—'The widow, no doubt, went out and
boughta dog -biscuit,? Ah, no 1 Far
removed from these earthly ideas, these •
mundane desires, poor Mother Hub-
bard, the widow, whom many thought-
less werldlings would despise, in that
she only owned one cupboard, perceiv-
ed—or I might even say saw—at onoe
the relentless logic of the situation, and
yielded to it with all the heroism of
that nature which had , enabled her
without deviation to reach the barren,
clipboard, She did not attempt, like
the stiffed. -necked sooffers of this gen-
eration, to war against the inevitable;
she did not, try, like the so-called men
of science, to explain what she did not
understand. She did nothing. 'The
poor d,og had none And then at
this point our information ceases. But
do we not know sufficient? Are we
not cognizant of enough?
"Who wouiddare to pierce the veil
that shrouds the ulterior face of Old
Mother Hubbard, the poor dog, the
cupboard, or the bone that was not
there? Must we image her still stand-
ing at the open cupboard door—depict
to ourselves the dog still drooping his
disappointed tail upon the fioor —the
sought -for bone still remaining some-
where Ise?eAh no, my dear bretka
ren, we are not permitted to attempt to
reed the future. Suffice it for us to
glean from this beautiful story its many
lessons,; suffice it for us to apply them,
to study them at far as in us lies, and
bearing in mind the natural frailty of
our nature to avoid being widows; to
shun the patronymic of Hubbard; to
have, if our means afford it, more than
one cuPboard in the house, and to keep
stores in them all. And, oh! dear
friends, keeping in recollection what we
have leerned this day, let us avoid keep-
ing dogs that are fond of bones. But
brethree, if we do—if Fate has ordain-
ed that we should do any of these
things—let us then go, as Mother Hub-
barddid, straight, without curveting or
prancing, to our cupboard, empty
though it be—let us, like her, aocept
the inevitable with calm steadfastness;
and should we, like her, ever be left
• with a !hungry dog and an empty cup-
board, may future chroniclers be able
ta write also of us, in •the beautiful
words qf our text—
• e 'and so the poor dog had none.'"

[ Free Trade.
The science is now represented in all
the leading universities of the United
States, and the rising intelligence of
the country is inade aware of the fact,
that Free Trade is not a mere crotchet
of a few, economists with the insular
prejudices of Englishmen, but a doctrine
on which all scientific economists,
American and European alike, are
agreed, as demituded by national jaetice
and pru.dence.t Moreover, the neces-
sity for an enormous taxation is di-
minishing every year, in consequence of
the surprising rapidity with which the
war debt is being reduced. Last year
a surpliis of $100,000,000 was applied to
this reduction; and already it has be-
come evident that the high tariff, de-
manded by the war, is no longer a ne-
cessity. The Commission, which has
been recently appointed to revise the
tend', may be thoroughly under the
controhof the privileged classes; but it
willreeuire to make some show Of re-
ducing taxation. It may succeed for a
time in, satisfying the public without
touching any duties that are really pro-
tective ; but the unprotected classes
cannot be always blinded by that trick.
Ere long it must become evident that
the high tariff is not a legitimate bur-
den on the nation, as the cost of the
greet struggle by which it maintained
its national existence, but an illegiti-
mate artifice to swell the profits of a
few by reducing the profits of the tua.ny.
The DOntilliOn Review.
Picking Out a Hotel Beat.
A rePorter of the' Baltimore Herald
asked the head clerk of one of the prin.
eipal hotels in that city how he recog-
nized a dead beat, to which the astute
official replied : "There are several
ways of telling. An experienced beat—
and I Must say they are proportionately
few—will come into an office with a
(pick, businesslike walk, register with
a great &latish, and ask for the
best in the house. Nine out of ten will
pverdo the thing, will be nervous or
halting, and in that way betray them-
selves. They generally ask ten ques-
tions to an honest man's one, and
nearly always cenduct themselves in a
shoddy fashion. There are some beats
who have the business down finer than
this, and they travel all over the coun-
try without' being suspected by the
threwclest -hetel clerk. They are usual-
ly well dreseed, bold, and if attacked
will immediately get on their dignity
and disarm their assailants. There
are also malty women who make a busi-
ness of beating hotels, but they go
ohiefly on their form, and inveigle the
proprietors by their good looks."
Mwat Halsted's Advice.
To the enquiry :—"Which is the most
_ correct way to ask a youug lady to take
your area, and which arm are you to
offer?" Murat Halsted replies as fol-
lows :
Well, ask her to take your arm: do
not grab her by the elbow. You might
gently and softly enquire, "Will you
take ray arm ?" It is rather solemn to
say, "Please take my arra" unless you
are afraid she is about to get hurt, and
you are sebstantially asking her to
save herself.! In that way you may,
Without impertinence, show a tender
solioitude. As to which arm to offer,
other things being equal, the one next
your heart. If you are taking her out
to dinner, something will depend on the
location of the dining room and your
place at the abl°a If you are on the
street, the safest rule is to take the out-
side place so als to serve as a body guard
against runaway horses. The presence
of a fewboys with velocipedesi or tri-
cycles on the sidewalk might change the
situation. Above all things preserve
your composure—remember that you are
a good than and bear up bravely.
The Scissors and the Pen. ,
Some people, ignorant of what- good
editing is, imagine the getting up of
selected matter to be the easiest work
in the world to do, whereas it is the
nicest work done on a newspaper. If
they see the editor with scissors in his
hand, they are sure to say: 'Oh, that's
the waylyou're getting up original mat-
ter eh?' accompanying their new and
witty question withtan idiotic wink or
sinile.. The facts are that the interest,
the variety and usefulness of a paper
depends in no small degree upon the
selected matter, and few men are cap-
able for the position who could not
themselves be able to write many of the
articles they select. A sensible editor
desires considerable selected matter,
because he knows thateme mind cannot
make so good a paper as five or six.

—While working as a blacksmith, the
BOv. B. Hurst, -who lately died in Eng-
land, studied the languages in all his
spare time, writing the conjugations of
Latin, Greek, and French verbs on the
flame-stdne of his forge. Besides these
tongues, he studied Hebrew, Arabic,
Sanscrit, and Syriac.
—The New York Herald says :--" It
looks now as if Great Britain and
Western Europe will need all the grain
we may have to sell, and if it is true
that our grope of all kinds are to be
worth anywhere from five hundred
millions to a thousand millions of dol-
lars it eibuld seem easy to prelict the
coerce) of the 'dock market in the com-
ing months."
—An agreement has been. entered
into between Mexico and the United
States that the regular Federal troops
of the two Republics may reciprocally
crbss the boundary line of the two
countries when in close pursuit of a
band of savage Indians, upon condi-
tion that the crossing shall only occur
in unpopulated or desert parts of the
boundary line.
—Two young women of Kentucky
and Ohio, respectively, have received a
patent for a pan to be sunk in an iron-
ing board, for the reception of the flat-
iron When not in use. The fracture of
joints, burns, and other casualties
caused by flat -irons will be known no
more. This device is a simple iron
mould, one inch deep, eight inches
long and five wide, to be fittedo the
iio
board, and yet for this pateit the
young women were offered $5,0 0 the
day after receiving their papers..!
—The Scientific American for June
10 has an account of a man who has
walked 175,200 miles. It says : " Geo.
Faweett , completed in April last his
forty-seventh year in the English
.Post -Office as a rural messenger. From
1835 to 1842 he rode between Seabergh
and adjacent stations, carrying mails in
this way- a total distance of 67,610
miles. From 1842 to 1882 he has walk-
ed daily between Seabergh and Dent,
thus traversing 175,200 miles. His
entire travel as postman foots up 242,-
360 milea, nearly ten times the distance
round the earth,and 2,360 miles further
than from the earth to the moon."
—The several local papers a couple
of weeks ago recorded the finding of the
body of an aged man, whom no one
could identify, in thewoods near Bay-
field. The Kingston News noted the
paragraph, and remarking thereon says:
From the description given of him, and
from a letter found in his pocket,there is
not the slightest doubt but that he was
an old gentleman named Thomas
Clark, well known to many in Kingston
and in its vicinity. Mr. Clarke was an
Englishman who came to Canada over
forty years ago, and at the time of his
death was seventy-nine years of age,
and when a young man was a corn
merchant in London. Why he bit
England and .spent the rest of his life
wandering aimlessly throtigh Canada
is unknown to the most intimate of his
acquaintances. He received a remit-
tance from England every three
months, but from what source • no one
in Canada knew; he was unmarried
and followed.no regular business. He
was an accomplished scholar, and his
polished manners and pleasing address
gained for him admission into any so-
ciety. He was a gentleman in the
highest sense .of the term, who could
have filled aoceptably any position in
life ; he had few equals and no su-
periors as a penman. He visited the
township of Pittsburg every year,
stopping at the houses of James and
William Atkinson and Thomas Connor
for weeks, at- a time,—quietly he came
and quietly he went, but always a wel-
coine visitor; and that he should die
uncared for in a Canadian wilderness
and be buried in an unknown grave
will, be reed with regret by all who
were acquainted with him; indeed,
many will feel like shedding a tear of
sympathy for this lonely wayfarer of
four -score years, brought up amidst
affluence in one of the "stately homes
of Englardl," dying on the cold damp
ground. on the distant shore of Lake
Huron. Earth, rest gently on the
boom of our friend!
