of a puil in the neral schools in this.

The average Salary Paid in the rur-

school year, as compared with $628.00
for the former Year. Legislation was
'niacte'enerative,in. September that the
lowest salary that -could be paid Was
.$500.00, thus making it impossible for
,the"fesv .echoorboards th•at....had been

lowest amount that will enableTteach-

The teachers' convention this year
took an inrusueleform, that of a visit
to Ottawathe Dominion capital. Spe-
ciallsates were secured from the rail-
ways, and the majority of the teach-
ers availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity to rnake themselves' familiar
with this beautiful geity. One day
was spent in visitinP the Ottawa
public sChools and the remainder of
the time in visits to points of inter-
est in and aboutthe city. It was
ree•d iby all who went that the •corie
vention was not only the mast inter-
