Circular No. 17 is the big bone of
contention being the department notice

tone a the official-stteinent, as well
ag f* -1 the known temper of the. de-
'partinent; it may be expected that the
truniO card of "the government will he

of * lurking suspicion that the bile

opponents IA the government for politi-
cal parposes. The queztion has bobbed
up more than once in the last year ,irt

cion is given a friendiy nudge of en-
couragement. Toe Ontario government
is reasonably safe from danger on tnie

Things begin to look as If the On-

The Inecessity for the appointment of

worse. The fight against the govern-

than formerly, bat it still rages in the
city of Ottawa, where a French opeak-
ing majority on the separate -school
beard' has defied the government for
mon* and intends to keep an defy-
ing. They refuse to pay the teachers,
whose salaries thus fell in arrears for
half a year. The English speaking this -
tees had given the qualified English
teachers some sort of a guarantee that
their eateries would be paId, but these
tustees were in .a minority and things
bega Tito look blue. Then the unpaid
teachers talked -of going an strike. Fin-
ally, the department of education Step-,
