A wire fence is the best kind for a school lot as it does not vetch the snow and render the school yard useless as a play ground for Winter and wet and muddy for a time in Spring. There are wire fences around certain school Lots that are as good to -day as they were ten years ago. A few were badly put up and lasted but for a short time, and this prevented the universal use of wire fences for school lots Soule Boards of Trustees have vo'ry thought- lessly strung a barbed wire along the tops of the posts. Of cause they did this not knowing that if a child were to be maim- ed in any way throsgh the use of this barbed wire they were rendering the section liable for heavy damages. has withdrawn both boys and girls from sebool before the Entrance standard is rt:,ached.

I wish to lay special stress upon the success of our Continuation Class euhools. The complete work for teachers certifi- cates is now being done by the public schools of !'gingham, Brussels and Blyth.. At Winghantand .Brussels two teachers to each school are occupied in teaching this work alone. Their success at the last departmental examination was particularly satisfactory, Wingham hav- ing passed eight out of fourteen that wrote and Brussels seventeen out of seventeen. In the rural public and smaller graded school very satisfactory. Continuation work is also done, but no attempt is made to cover the full work for teachers' certificates. There were 478 pupils taking up Continutioa Class work iu this Inspectorate last year. Both model schools are doing very satisfactory work and the teachers in training are instructed in the latest and most improved methods of teaching.

Money continues to pour into Canada's treasury in a constantly augmented stream. The total revenue on consoli- dated. fund account for the seven months ending January 31st aggregated $40,317,- 813, or $3,210,099 more than the expend- iture under the same headings.

The pippins, 636 crushed, may also be mixed with water and used as a drink, Lemon juice is the b st anti -scorbutic remedy known ; it not only cores the disease, but, what is better than a cure, it is a preventive. Sailors make a daily use of it for that purpose. It is a good thing to rub the gums daily with lemon juice to keep them in. a healthy condition. It prevents chilblains. Lemon juice in intermittent fevers is mixed with strong, hot black teaor coffee without sugar. Neuralgia may be cured by rubbing the parts af- fected with a lemon. It is valuable, al- so, to cure warts and to destroy dand- ruff on the head by rubbing the roots of the hair with it.

The ordinary expenditure increased fore, lemons are. during the same period by $423,307, and the capital expenditure by $65,600.

If these trustees were compelled to sink a well on the school lot, they would make a shallow hole itt the ground just deep enough to collect some surface water and then hold up a cup of this water for you to smell as a triumphant vindication of their thread -bare assertion that good water cannot be obtained on the school lot although thei • is a good well at the next farm house but a few rods away. A number of sections have solved the difficulty. however, by sinking drilled wells. These have all given good satis- faction. The schools now celebrate Arbor Day by a general cleaning np of the school house and the school yard and the planting of flowers. Not very many trees are now planted as many of the school lots are now well supplied. Indeed too many trees are worse than too few as they tend to keep the yards damp and muddy in Spring and Fall, and as a shade for children are of little u`se, as school is closed during hottest months of the year.

Business was almost. at a complete standstill at the City Cattle Market to -day. The extreme cold weather and the fact that the railroads are again refusing to except live stock at many points, owing to the difficulty of delivering on time, made it not worth while for dealers to stay around the mar- ket. Since Saturday there have been 33 loads delivered in the market, but some California these were bought in the county and , were not for 'eale iu the market, and a few loads were in from Chicago. Most of the others were bought up on Monday, which left only three or four fresh loads of cattle for to -day's market. Notwith- standing the light rens of late, the de- mand is not particularly active, and prices are but just steady at last week's quotations, which towards the latter part of the week eased off a little from the earlier quotations A couple of loads of mixed export ang good butchers' cat- tle sold at $4.30 The total receipts since Saturday con- sist of 480 head of cattle, 365 sheep and and lambs, 325 hogs and 20 calves.

At tele close of 1903 there were 29 emit* and 85 female teachers in this in- spectorate. This is an increase of three male teachers over 1902 and a corres- ponding decrease of female teachers. The great preponderence of female teachers is to be regretted. Education is divided into three great divisions: Physical f dacation, intellectual educat- ion and education of the will Little at- tention is usually given to physical education, as the chores at home and the play instinct train this sufficiently. The special province of the teacher is to edu- cate the intellects and the will. All teachers, male and female, are as a rule, satisfactory trainers of the intellect, hut I do not believe that a majority or even a large minority, of the lady teachers are able to train the boys in the habits of self control, resistance of temptation. obedienee to constituted authority, and the ethical virtues that go to mark np a good and useful citizen. The last two years at least of a boy's public school should be spent nteder a gond male teach- er, who is also a good disciplinorian.

For an autocrat of about a third of the world, his nibs the Czar is a good deal of a whiner.

In urban schools the average male salary was $721 in 1903 and $683.34 in 1902. The average female salary in these schools was 8320.80 as compared with $319.52 in 1902. There has been a slight advance in salaries but they are far too low to induce good men to remain in the professinn. hence in the rural and smaller graded sclionl there is a continual change of teachers which in many eases keep these shoots at a stand- still.
