The "Fahey of the Legislature," or

of that year, wes so regarded, Passed
away on Wednesday of last week in
the persoe of Mr, 'Thomas Gibson.
klis lovable nature and fine terse
Scottish mode of expressing binsself on
' public carman:me made Ida at all times
popular, and in iris later pareer he
occupied a seat in the Ministerial row,
Je sat for East Huron. Mrs Gibson
died at Wroxeter, aged 07 years, He
was first elected to the Legislature 21st
March, 1871, and retained his seat
until the last General election in 1898,
a period of 27 years. At the time of
his retirement he hed occupied a place
in the house eontinuously longer than
any other member. Born in 0 -reenters',
Berwickshire, Scotland, anct ernigrat.
ing in 1853, fleet to the United States,
and shortly afterwards to Upper
Canada, Mr. Gibson settled with
several of his brothers at Wroxeter,
in the county of Huron, in 1857, when
that part of the province was almost
unbroken bush. His strong common
sense and intelligent grasp of public
affairs brought him early to the front
He was one of the first reeyes of the
town ship of Howick, and at. Confeder-
ation he was selected as the Reform
candidate for the north riding of
Huron,bue was beaten by a narrow
majority by the late: W. T. Hays. To
1871 he was returned to the House, Mr.
Hays again being his opponent, • -and
after one or two subsequent elections
his hold on the riding was never
seriously challenged. Mr. Gibson was
in many respects a typical border
Scotchrnan. Logical and sagaciourshis
advice on quiestions of policy and
adaninstration was trighly esteemed by
the successive Liberal Governmente,
whom he supported, and no one re-
ceived • greater attention when address -
the Legislature. He was a inernber of
the Presbyterian church, and a life-
iong total abstainer, having attached
himself to the teetotal movement at
an early age. He leaves a widow and
one daughter.. Mr, Gibson's health
was unsatisfactory for several ' years
before his death, but a severe attack of
grippe was the immediate cause of his
removal.
THE SCHOOL INSPECTOR' FOR
EAST HURON SAYS SOME
RATEPAYERS ARE READIER
TO PROVIDE EDECATION
FOR THE CHINESE THAN
FOR THEIR OWN CHILD-
REN.
There are 88 Boards of Public school
Trustees in East Huron: These Boards
employ 123 teachers during the entire
year. The Clinton Model school en-
gages an extra assistant during •the
Model term. Of these 123 teachers 52
are male and 71 females-sa decrease of
6 male teachers during the year. Theee
were 14 changesof teachers during the
year and 24 at the end of theyear,rn all
38 changes. • The average length of
service in a sehonl is about three years.
The average salary paid teachers over
the whole Inspectorate is $857 00. For
the rural sections the salaries of the
male eitchers advanced $L40 and
female teaehers $16.25. • The male
teachers arebeing gradually crowded
• out by female teachers. Tuckersmith
pays the male teachers an average
salary of $421.67 per annum; Hullett
comes next paying $348.50. There are
08 Normal trained • teachers; 4 hold
Professional first class certificates, 69
seconds and 50 thirds -an increase of 9
seconds over theprevious year. Two
promotion exminations were taken
during the year, one in March and the
other in October. The teachers are a
unit in favor of these examivations.
For the first time in 1900 the Public
School Leaving time,
papers
were examined in Toronto. and as -a
consequence the fee had to be raised
from one dollar per pupil to two
dollars. One dollar of this fee is given
to the School Board to pay for paper,
ink, &c. and presiding and one dollaris seat et-) the Education Department
to cover the cost of examining the ans.
wer papers. The fee for. the Entrance
Examination is one dollar. This has
not varied for at least • ten years.

Excellent two -roomed brick school
houses have erected in Gortie add Ford-

$2500, and when completed the Gorrie

basement, furnace, and a perfect :rya.
tem of ventilation, was erected at Kin -
burn at a cost about $1500. These
school houses are up-to.date in every

houses will be erected next year, and
two others thoroughly rebuilt. I re*
gret to report that some ratepayere
are much readier to provide education,
&c., for the unwilling Chinese than for
their own or neighbor's Children.
Thi e is particularly so in a couple of
sections which have miserable shacks
in which the children shiver with cold

remains of all that was most beloved and
queenly." 'AtKnox thumb the emigre-
