Some interesting illfor,uption is con twined in the tulnual report of the Minis ter of Education, Hon, Richard Har court, which has just been presented to the Ontario Legislature. The statistics aro for the year 1900, but are neverthe less interesting, as this is the first appear allce these figures have made' since com- pilation by the department. t There were 5,655 Public schools iu On tario in 1900, an inorease of only one over the previous year, while the num- ber of Roman Catholic Public schools was 855, or au inorease of three. There were seven Protestant Separate schools and 120 kindergartens with 250 teachers. There was a total expenditure on ele- mentary schools of $4,228,532, an in- crease of $208,484 iu the twelve months. There was a decrease in the attendance at the Publio schools and kindergartens, while an inorease was recorded in the number of pupils attending the Separate schools, The number of pupils attend- iug the schools between the ages of 5 and 21 was 580,105, a decrease of 6,245. There were registered at the Public schools 420,097, and the average atten- dance was 237,306, or a decrease of 6,019. The number of scholars registering at Catholic schools was 42,897, an increase of 601, while the average attendance was 25,875. The number of teachers employed in the Public schools numbered 8,666, there being 2,530 mon and 6,127 women. This was an inorease of 170 women and a de- crease of 73 male teachers. The number of Normal school teachers had increased to 4,135. The average salary of a male teacher was $404, an inorease of $10, while the female teachers received but $298 on an average, or $4 more than the year before. There were 131 High schools including 38 Collegiates and the teachers employed numbered 573, an increase of five. Pupils attending these schools totalled 21,723, a decrease of 737. The High school teachers' salaries amounted to $529,245, while for building and sites $32,400 was expended. Tho total amount spent on Highfschools was $718,601. The total receipts for the schools amounted to $5,509,988 and the expendi- ture was $4,587,083. The cost per pupil was $9.92 as against $9,28 the year be- fore. For Roman Catholic schools the total receipts were $396,137 antj the ex penditure 8358,551. The total receipts for collegiates amounted to $772,332, and the expenditure, $718,602, the cost per pupil being $33.08. Owing to the organization of continua- tion classes in Public schools, there has not been much increase of ]ate years in the establishment of additional High schools. As continuation classes are really doing High school work, it may be seen that there is a steady progress in the support given the secondary edu- cation. The following table will be of interest regarding the occupation of parents of High school pupils, and will show the classes Of our population receiving most advantages 'from those institutions: - Agricultural, 6,22f; commercial, 5,448; mechanical, 5:054; professional, 1,953;. without occupation, 1,788.

The annual returns of the births, marriages and deaths for the town for 1901 as sent to the registrar general show 50 births, 80 marriages and 59 deaths, the latter being the largest number re- corded for many years. Five of these deaths wore of non-residents who cane here to pass peacefully away and some persons from other places died in jail, which will lessen the number. DISMISSED WITH COSTS. -The civil suit, Campbell .vs. Young, an action to re- cover balance said to be due for digging an artesian well, adjourned . from the December Sessions of the Peace, was concluded on Tuesday. The cause of action was the refusal of defendant to pay the full contract price, $1.05 per foot for digging the 117 feet of the well, his contention being that 85.50 (fifty cents per foot) for eleven feet not cased should be deducted. TEe defendant had paid the amount, less the 85.50, into court, but plaintiff refused to accept a sum less than the contract price. The plaintiff, on the other hand, contended that the job had been properly finished, that the eleven feet not eased did not need casing, as it was through the solid rock, and he further contended that cus- tom in such cases absolved them from casing it. Several witnesses were ex- amined, and at the conclusion His Honor Judge Doyle gave judgment dismissing the action with costs. A t Goderioh, about 45 years ago, John Graham was married by Rev, Dr. Fraser and he and his wife lived together 20 or 25 years, when she left him and went to Ohio. They had seven children, the eldest being born in 1857, and the young- est in 1870. On October 1st, 1898, Gra- ham, saying he was a widower, was married to a woman here by Rev. W. W. Weeks. He died recently, leaving $360 cash undisposed of by will. The National Trust Company was asked by the son, Charles A. Graham, and the daughters, Margaret Taylor and Jane Ann Uuitt, to procure administration of this money, as belonging to the. first widow. The second Widow objected and wanted the money for herself as the only true widow. The matter came before Judge McDougall some months since, and he gave out the judgment last week. He went into the question of the mar- riages at length, and has decided that the first widow has the claim. Letters of administration, therefore, will go to the National Trust.

Grand Trunk Secures Space at the Sportmen's Show. The Grand Trunk Railway Company has completed arrangements for an ex- tensive exhibition in connection with the second annual Sportmen's Show to be held in Chicago from February 3 until February 22. The Sportsmen's Show is to bo held in the Coliseum, a Iarge build- ing admirably suited for the purpose. The exposition will probably be the fin- est that has ever taken place iu America, excelling even that held in Philadelphia during last December. The Grand Trunk exhibit will include the collection of large photographs of scenes through- out the. summer resort districts mil stated on its line. including the Muskoka Lakes, Lake of Bays, Magnetawan River, 30,- 000 Islands of the Georgian Bay, ICawar- tha Lakes and Lakes Simcoe and Couch - lolling, as well as views on the Portland division, combining land and water- scapes, scenes in the White Mountains, and surf bathing scones taken on the Maine sea coast. The space to be occupied by the Grand Trunk will be about 4.000 square feet, and will be one of the most attractive and most interesting exhibits at the show. In addition to their pictures, several stuffed fish of a species that inhabit the Canadian waters will also bo included, as well as wild animals that have been caught in the hunting districts in Nor- thern Ontario, The Grand Trunk has expended thou- sands of dollars in briegiug before the people of the ITnited States and foreign comttries the bcantieS of the Can'ldian districts, its efforts being rewarded by exceptional snecess, as the records of the passenger trafflo during the past sea- son Show. In the dis'ricts embraced in what is known as "the Highlands of Ontario" nearly 30,000 tourists were carried during the swimmer months, the majority of whom were from the United States. These districts have become s.1 popular that each yeAr finds the hotel accommodation increasing and modern and up•to"dato structure's are being erected to accommodate the ever iitereas• ing travel that is being brought into Canada.
