The country has long since taken the measure of these gentlemen, who have discredited the proceedings of parliament, and by their wilful obstruction blocked. public business until the machinery of the House of Commons was disorganized and thrown out of gear. The people welcome any amendment of the rules which will forever put a stop to senseless obstruc- tion, and permit the business of the country to be carried on santly and with dignity, and it seems to be a habit of many bewyers in coat to "iusinuate," "browbeat," etc„" and. judges rarely diecipline 'them.

Dr. Field, Public School Inspector in his report to the Winghana Public School Board, makes the following excellent suggestion :-"There iS in excess in the primary department, which has no doubt been further in- creased since my visit.

This Di worthy of the best thought of the board. Winghana ehould have a kindergarten. Even if it were just kept open from Hester until Christmas each year, it would be a great boon to our children.
