P. A_ MILL
REPORT ON EDUCATION.
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;.

generally conceded that Donald Patter-

It has been proven that Mr. Warnock
of Godorich has Beaton the world in the
matter of raising big squashes, For the
last eleven years he has grown them of
weights running from 318 pounds in IS91
to three in 1898 weighing respectively
844, 855 and 388 pounds,
During the past week work has pro-
gressed steadily on the Summer hotel,
nearly one-third of the window frames,
with glazed sashes, having been put in,
and a large part of the ground floor
flooring fixed, The roof has also been
covered in and now only requires two
coats of paint to finish it.
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.

WILL EXHIBIT AT CHICAGO.
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.
