Leader of the Opposition. In answer -

-If Laurier and his followers think

mistaken. The country has long since

of parliament, and by their wilful
obstruction blocked. public business

Commons was disorganized and thrown
out of gear. The people welcome any

forever put a stop to senseless obstruc-

Kindergarten.
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. As you have
a spate room and an ad t quate heat -
beg plant, it would be. easy for you
to, add a kindergartet department.
Yu would fled the result amply
juetifying the additional expense."
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. We will watch with lot
terest the action of our trustees on
this advice of the school inspector.

man of the eigarette habit can Carry
off soholarships. The business world
does not want the young man with
the stained fingere. To the boys
we would say, iftyou must smoke, get
a cigar or a a pipe and leave the coffin
nails alone, No town should grant a
license for that which undervalues
young men physically and mentally.
The cigarette must go. We have
seen so much of the destruction of
promising intellects by it, that from
this on our voice, pen and vote are
against it.
