Atj present, 0 per cent. of the public

proposal to use t e whole Bible in the

he Deputiy Minis er of Eduoation made
so e dealer done w iloh he thought should
be carried o t in the educational eyetem of
the •Province. He thought tbat there
should be a better mode of distributing the
legislative grant. At present it is based
upon the ,average attendance, and fails to
exert any influence , in the direction of
encouraging trusteee to improve their
schools by securing teachers of high quali•

should be some systent of official recognition
for the high standing of certain teachers.
At present, a third- lase teacher with a
month's experience, as on a legal equality
with a firet-olass teao er of wide experience.
With the high schools the case is different,
as the regulations g verning the appoint-
ment of principals nd specialists eliew.
The Deputy Minister dvottated a system of
free text books, and held that something
should be done to I seen the amount of
home work, in many graded schools. He
thought that high so oohs should be free.
Were the departinen to sot _upon this
suggestion, such aotio would be favorably
felt by many, espeoi ily those who, while
receiving small salaries , are endeavoring to
educate their familie . At present, the
cost of educating several members of a
family a $15 to $201 a year is a serious
drain on the meehisnie, who perhaps does
not make over $400 or $500 per annum.

allowed nothing else to i terfere. He aimed
at testifying the whole c uneel of the grace

Royal Tempters against the Economist, an
insurance newspaper of Toronto, and tried
last week in that city, the jury returned a
verdict for the Tempters, assessing the
damages at one dollar. Mr. Justice Fab
conbridge decided that the costs, whioh are

Economist. The case arose from state-
ments made by the paper as to the insur-
ance department.of the Tempters, which it
'characterized as a fake organization. Offi-
cers ot old line life companies were put in
the box to back up this assertion, whtle offi-
cers of the ' assessment ' and 'friendly so-
cieties' system of insurance took the ground
that the Templars' rates were sufficient,
and that the organization was quite s !vent.

was not thought the Tempters ha4 been
seriously injured by the Economia 's ar-
ticles.

"There was considerable excitement around
town on Monday evening, when it became
known that oar popelar citizen, W. R.
Hodgins, while attendtng a foot ' race at
Kippen, had been made the victin of Miff'
placed confidence. We have not hard full
particulars respecting the affair, ray that
there was a heavy be up and t at while
the race was in progress the staith holder
had joined in the run, carrying iiirith hitn
$420, half of which belonged 0 Mr.
Hedging. The latter a once drove to Hen -
sail and gent telegrams n all directions to
constables asking then to look up the
runaway. Constables Gumtree of coderich;
Bossenberry, of Zurich,, Dumont arid others
joined in the hunt. As it was only a breach
of trust nothing can be done in the matter,
even if the fellow is caught. Mr. Hodgins'
misfoxtune ought to prove a warning to
other e not to fool with the gun when it's
loaded for game."
