J 11111111i!1111011111111� -A THE CLINTON NEW ERS, The Schools of Neter York. The Ontario Education Department � has published a book of 201 pages on the:,chool System of New Yotk by John Millar, B. A,, Deputy Milliliter of Education which is well worth read- ing, as it nut only contains a great deal of interesting information about the schools of New York, but briefly re- viows the educational systems of many Of the Other states. The Superintendent of Public In- struction for the Stale of New York has must extraordinary powers which no Canadian province would think of entrusting to one man, He is elected by joint ballot of the Senate and As- sembly, and has a 6Nlary of $5000 a year. There is no Board of Education for the State of New York and the Superintendent is not responsible to the Legislature. During his term of ctiice his powers are supreme within the provisions of the law. He has power to make regulations for the ex- aminations of teachers, to grant certi- ficates on examination and revoke the same. He appoints the persons who are to conduct the examinations for teachers and designates the place where the examinations are to be held. He has power to cancel any certificate that has been awarded by a County Commissioner or to de:,lare it diploma ineffective granted by an Normal School,' He may remove from office any County Commissioner or other school officer who wilfully disobeys him or violates any statute, and he may withhold any share of the public money of the State from any district for wilfully disobeying any of his reg- ulations or decisions. The County School Commissioner is another powerful loan in a smaller sphere. His duties are about the same as those of tine school inspector in On- tario, but he hits more authority. In Ontario school inspectors are appoint- ed by the County Councils, while the School Commissioners of New York', State are elected by popular vote, There is an entire absence of any edu- cational qualification for the position of School Commissioner, and it is said that the views of candidates on the tit - riff question often have more to do with their, election than scholastic at- tainments. In the year 1896 New York ,,pent 520,208,574 on education, most of which was raised by municipal taxation. The New York State Government annually levies a direct tax throughout the State for educational purposes, which realized in 1890 the stun of $4,(XP2J)(:3. The greater part of this wits distribu t ed among the schools of the different counties. There ate GO counties in the State, and of these 54 received more from this slate tax than they contrib- uted to it. brie County, in which Bnf- Palo is situatedPn.' td$211,51Y7, and e- ceived only $185,460; king'County, in which Brooklyn is situated, paid .$;>0:3,- 60:3, and received only $:387,$79; and New York County, which included New Vot k Citv, pail $1,884581, ani received only $016,133. ill every in- stance a county ha ving n o large city anadvanto efrrn th' state tax. I P , t is rut gestin o g t note that ladies are employed As teachers much ruore extem•ively in New York State than in Ontario. In cities of New York State only 8 per cent of the teachers are then, while in other schools of the State about 21 per cent of the teachers aremen. In Ontario 6,bout, 11 percent of the teachets in the cities are men, in towns about 19 per cent, and in townships, including villages, 49 per cent. In the cities of New York State the average salary for teachers is $725, as compared with $468 in Ontario cities, In other schools of the state the aver• age salary is $309, while in Ontario it is $308. In New York State the city schools are open for- 195 days of the year, and other schools are open for only 16.5 days, Ill Ontario the legal number of teaching days for urban municipalities is 202, and for rural schools 2I4 days. Thus the children of Ontario cities have longer holidays than those of the country schools, while in New York Slate the position is reversed. Price of Stallions Higher. The prices of draft and coach stallions are higher in Great Britain, France, Ger- many and Belgium than they have been for some time. Importers who have had to pay cash for horses will have to abolish the credit system and sell for cash. Where $1,000 to $2,000 are paid for stallions cheap service fees will have to be given up, and instead of the insurance plan, a more rat- ional one of half cash at breeding. and bal- ance when, mare is known to be in foal cab- stituted. In the United States horsemen are just beginning to find out that there ate not enough good y oung stallions in the coun- try to go around, all the available ones hav- ing been bought, with the expectation of still higher prices in the fall or next winter. A few importers are refusing to sell their stallions for this season's business. This scarcity of good stallions means a scarcity of good horses for the next few years, and it is probably that more money will be made during o the next ten years from breed- ing good horses then for several years back. But the horses bred must be the beet of their class. The day for making money out of scrub horses has gone by, and unless the farmer is prepared to produce only the best of horses we would not advise going very extensively into the business of horse breeding, even though the outlook for the future is bright. To breed good horees the beet types of mares should be used as well as the highest types of stallions. It is con. trary to the laws of nature to expect a first- class animal from a scrub mare, even though the sire may be the best of his class. Farmers„ therefore, would do well not to go too largely into horse breeding unless they are prepared for it. One effect the oharg• ing of a higher price for a stallion's services will have is to shut out Roma of the o,,.,,1, a good figure for the services of a atelllon, he is not likely to use any butt the very beat types of mares for breeding purposes. In this way the increase in the cost of stallions will have a good effect and be the means of producing a better Claes of horses in the country, though the number may not be so large. However, it is quality not quantity that tells in4,oree breeding as well as in anything else. -Farming. Nina E. Lee, the 15 -months old daughter of Joseph and Nellie Lee, Watford, met with a terrible death oil Saturday. During the course of the usual houscleaning some bottles were moved from a high to a lower shelf, among which was one containing car- bolic acid, thoroughly corked. Dur- ing the temporary absence of Mary, who was doing the dusting, little Nina toddled up to the shelf and reached for a bottle secured one, picked out the cork and drank the contents, carbolic acid. me value or a Newspaper The following is clipped from News. . pnperdom, Now York, in its issue of Jona 9: "In the legitimMe extension of ad- vertising patronage to local newspa- Ire is often a lack of public sppll•- It ou the part of some of the manufac- t urere, whulebale merchants and others.

Mexicans Eager for the Bible --- 1 The American Bible Society has re- ceived from, its representative in Mexi- co a report which speaks of a slow and quick movement toward the simpler and deeper religion of the New Testa- ment, though the cases may be few where conviction is crowned with the courage to confess. The Mexicans are said to be not an irreligious people; sheer atheism is not known, but they have been crushed by ecclesiasticism, (in 1 the Church held over two - third oP the property of the capital, and pile the v ) o people ha a abandoned a hundred commands of the old-time religion, they hold to the name, and observe the social requirements of the Roman Clatholic Church sufficiently to keep safe in its circle. Still pictures and images of a hundred saints, the pomp and show of a hundred "feast days' in a year, are more important to them than the study of the Bible; that comes Jast, if at all. Of all the books forbidden by Rome in its "Expurga- tory Index" there has not been known a case in twenty years of any other being burned save the Bible. The more the burning of it, the ruore is the de- mand for it. Lift off that heavy hand of inquisitorial ecclesiasticism and it is believed that the progressive element of Mexico, which i, in the majority now, would accept the Bible in it day. Many of the poor people now, after hearing a chapter of the Bible read, will make any sacrifice to obtain a copy. If they have no money they of- fer a rosary, a crucifix, pictures of saints, the sandals off their- feet, eggs, fir o ewe d anything in heir possession, oasesstou Y g in exchange for a copy of the Book of God, as they call it. The circulation in Mexico in 1897 was 23,13:38 Bibles, Testaments, and portions of the Bible, twenty-two colporteurs being employed in place of thirty-sev- en the revicus year, r when the�r - P 1 , cr cu lation was two thou:ijaxt 'snore.
