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.'" —Portsmouth (gng.) Monitor. , - [ 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. —Tankers Gazette. 1 —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.
