r.dmations' Matters in West
Huron.
We make the following interesting
extract; from the very compteheasive
report presented by Mr 3 R. Miller,
Ptiblic School Inspector forth. Western
Division of Huron, to the County Coun-
cil at its last meeting. The report em-
braces a full summary of the work from
1872 to 1881, Inclusive, being the entire
term of Mr. Miller's inspectorate. The
artriet presided over by Mr. Miller em- •
Isnacets the municipalities of Ashfield,
West Wawanosh, Colborne, Goderich
township, Stanley, Bayfield, Hay, Ste
-
Oen, Exeter and ITsborne. The total!
receipts by trustees in the distri
amounted in 1872. to $42,228, and '
1,885 to $45,706. The total awe
spent for all purposes from 1872 to I
inclusive, was $85,048, of this &moan
2510,001 were paid out for teachers' sal-
aries, and $88,543 for school sites and
buildings. It is gratifying to notice
that while the amoutts paid for teach-
ers' salaries have gradually increased,
the expenditure for buildings has each
year grown less. In 1872 there was
paid out for teachers' salaries, $27,665,
and in 1885, $37,764. In 1872 there was
paid oat foreites and buildings, $9,528,
in 1873, $15,543, in 1874, $23,855, and
in 1875, $12,975, While in 1883 there was
only paid out for this purpose, $680; in
1884, $322, and in 1885, $1417. These
figures show the very great progress that
has been made in the improvement cif
school buildings and grounds and the
comparatively light expenditure that is
now necessary.
The following figures show the in-
crease in values of school properties
since 1871. In that year the value of
school property in the district was
$36,820, in 1872, it waio,251,227; 1874,
$96,779, and in 1876, $118,606.
In 1871 there were 27 log buildings,
now only one. New school houses, or
additions which may be considered
equal thereto, have been erected in the
following sections :—Ashfield -1, 2e 4,
5, 6, 7, S, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15 and 16.
Colborne -2, 4, 6 and 7. Goderich-1,
2, 4, 5, 8, 9 and 11. Hay—I, 2, 3, 6,
7, 8, 10 (two houses), 11 and 12. Stan-
ley -1, 4 (two houses), 5, 6, 7, 10, 13
and 14. Stephen -2, 4, 5, 6, 7,- 8, 10,
11 and 12. Usborne-2, 4. 7, 10 and 12.
West Wawanosh-1, 2, 4, 7, 12, 14 and
There are in the division - 30 brick
school houses, 2 stone, 52 frame and 1
log. In 1871 few sections had .the
amount of land required by law, but in
1884 nearly all had complied with . the
law in this respect. In referring to the
ornamentation of play grounds, Mr.
Miller says: Much had been done
previous to 1885, but the action of the
honorable the Minister of Ediication in
proclaiming for the whole province a
holiday to be called ,Arbor day gave an
impetus to the work. He requested all
to unite to clean up yards make flower
plots, and set out trees. yards,
circular with some suggestions of my
own to all trustees. In this part of the
province the weather was very unpleas-
ant, notwithstanding which, much was
done as may be seen from the following
report of trees set out: Ashfield, 409;
Colborne, 129; Goderich, 101; Hay,
231 • Stanley, 149; Stephen, 167 ;
ITsbOrne, 65; West Wawanosh, 140;
Bayfield, 20. Total 1,411.. The num-
ber thus given does not nearly represent
the extent of our tree culture. I can
only estimate, but I am quite within the
mark when I soy that within and sur-
rounding our school grounds are to . be
found about 5,000 trees and shrabs
The result of this work, done princi-
pally by our teachers and pupils, has
been Very favorably commented upon
and the good effects of such on the
neighboring country. One should travel
on the second. concession of Stanley,
where for miles an avenue has been
formed which in a few years, will present
a magnificent monument to the untiring
labors of Mr. George Baird, sr., who for
over a quarter of a century has taught
in the section referred to. The bene-
fits referred to from setting out trees
will be greatly appreciated in West
Haron before many years have passed
away.
From a table published it ,is shown
that the school population iseegradually
decreasing, as for instance, in 1872 it
was ,156;9in 1879 it was 8,963, while
in 1884 it was 7,323 and in 1885 'only
7,250. The average attendance, how-
ever, is considerably increased and is
higher than the average throughout the
Provinee. In 1872 the average attend-
ance was 39 and for the last three years
it has been 47 while in the province it is
only 43. The number of children be-
tween the ages of 7 and 12 reported as
not attending any school in 1872 .was
281, while in 1885 the -number was re-
duced to 41 which is a gratifying de.''
crease, but it seems that 1,150 pupils
attended school less than 100 days dur-
ing 1885, which is not so satisfactory.
In fact says the Inspector, "Nearly
one-half of all entered on roll attended
less than 100 days in a year. I would
respectfully refer parents, trustees and
teachers to greater exertion so that bet-
-ler results shall be shown. The teacher
is not engaged to teach the few; his
work is, andel am sure he is willing, to
teach all.” '

Staffa.
ENTERTAINMENT.:—A very enjoyable
time was spent on Tueiday evening at
the literary concert,' which was held in
the town hall, Staffa, under the auspices
of the English church. The weather
being favorable large crowds from a dis-
tance, filling the hall to its utmost
capacity. The eirdgramme, though
lengthy, was' interesting throughout,
and at an early our all betook them-
selves to their resp ctive homes, highly
pleased with the vening's entertain-
ment. The procee s were $40.
LOCALITIES.—Mi s. Stewart, teacher
in School Section o. 3, is, -we believe,
unable to attend to er duties on account
of sickness.—We a e glad -to hear of the
appointment of Mij. Toth to the Inspec-
torship of Huron. He is an energetic,
industrious and h rd -working young
man, and is cape le of fulfilling the
duties of his offi e-- efficiently.—The
Rev. 0. Bridgman, English church pas-
tor of Dublin and S ails,, was made the
recipient of an '"'.1"' cutter by his
Dublin parishioner , in token of the
esteem in which e is held by them—
and he is well wo thy of such esteem,
being very zealous n the.." work of do-
ing good for the laster."7–Mr. Page,
who for so long a t" e, has been closely '
confined to bed, is gain able to be up:
—Mr. Saddler sti 1 continues hauling
wood to his brick y rd.—Mr. John Fell,
son of Mr. Thos. 1' 11, who resides near
this place, has retu ned home from Hep-
worth, in the cohnt, of Grey, where he
has been for some t me. He was so un-
fortunate as to get he fingers of his left
hand severely injur d a few days before
he left for horhe s e was taking a horse
out of the stables w en the animal made
a sudden jump awe , draaving the halter
shank, on the end which was a snap,
through Mr. Fell' hand. The snap
caught in his finger and tore the flesh,
making painful wo nds on two of them.
Socialist Rist in London.
A terrible riot to k place in London,
England, on Monday last. It is said to
be the most serious demonstration of
the kind that ever occurred in the Eng-
lish capital. A croud estimated at from
ten to fifteen thoisand, nominally corn -
posed of " starting niechanics, ' but
largely consisting of arid controlled. by
Socialists, assembled inTrafalgar squ re,
i,
where violent resolutions were pa sed
denouncing the GoVerament and calling
upon Parliament td provide immediate
work for the un4ployed of 'the city.
Conspicuous. =meg the leaders of
the multitude was ,Mr. Burns, who ran
as socialist candidate in Nottingham in
the recent election. The police were
utterly, powerless to disperse the im-
mense gathering, which rolled like -a
wave of the sea along Piccadilly to Hyde
park, leaving deetruction, in its track.
Club houses and iptivate residences were
'wrecked; hotelsbwere broken opeh and
food demanded' and taken ; saloons were
raided and the liqtior consumed, inflam-
ing the passions of the rioters; tailors',
shops and jewellery establishments were
entered and the contents thrown out t�
the eager mob, and along the entire
route robbery - and destruction - were
paramount, and nci lives were taken only
because no resisterte.e_ was offered.
The mass meeting, while primarily -
called together ast a labour demonstra-
tion, was completely under the control
is
of the Socialists, ft new and dangeeous
element in a Lon' on outbreak. There
is terrible distrees revailing at present
in the capital, and the political foes of
all sociel order took advantage of this to
further their! own' ends of terrorism.
The demonsteation was a serious one,
and to prevent its repetition with even
more disastrous re:hilts the Government
will be forced into' making at least some
effort to reliete the trade depression ex-
isting throughout the length and breadth
of the United Kingdom. ,
A similar gathering ten thousand
strong occurred on Tuesday, the ma-
jority of the great, crowd being loafers
-and roughs of the worst class'but being
without a recognized leader the police
managed to break pp the mob, driving
the crowd back 'into - lanes and alleys
' where they disappeared.
