Ross introduced into, the Ontario Legislation last week a hill respecting' truancy 'and cornpul- „ sory school attendance. It provides ,that ail children between. 8 and 1.4 ' years of age shall attend school for the term during which -the school of the section or municipality in which they reside is open each year, unless excused for reasons mentioned. The present law places the age limit at 7 `--'and 13 years and the period of attend- : • anee at 100 days. The new Bili also provides that the Police Commission- ers, or, in cases where there are no okce Commissioners, ,the municipal ;;• ' council/of every city, town. incorpor- ated village and township shall appoint 11' one or more persons to act as truant "Officers for the enforcement of this • Act. the truant officer shall, for the Turposes of this Act, be vested with C,Ipolice powers, and shall have authority enter factories, workshops, stores all places where children may be ;mployed, and shall perform such ser- vices as "may be deemed necessary for the enforcement of thie Act. • And it ehall also be his duty to institute ?•,,• ceedings for violation of the Act. As a penalty, instead of as at present, ''the Bill provides that any person or ',officer mentioned in this Act, and des - moat as having duties to rt -'-'"i7:'-"------ #perforin in the enforcement of any of lts provisions, neglecting to perform any such duties, shall be liable to a lhte of not less than $'25 nor more than ',AO for each and every offence.

Over half of the children in this section are sick with grip, mumps, scarlatina, cholera or smallpox. William John is recover- ing impetu-amoria. The War -Cloud—:-We . were just going to say a word to the Sky Island correspondent, but on thinking over his remarks about scriptural texts another one came to our. mind, "Cast not thy pearls before swing lst they turn again and rend thee," so.for this reason we will not address ourselves to him. The only -thing commendable about ' the Sky Island scribe is his obstinacy. Having started a contr&L versy, he like the scolding woniari seems bound to have the last word. Probably if he had studied those texts that he taunts , the Paramount, stribe with knowing, he , would have examined his own eye first and then he might have attempted to pick flaws in that of his Paramount brother; and also his anything but intellectual remarks. about The Paramount writer show that he i as busy with other people's affairs as anybody. We might say more in regard to his polite refer- ences to us, biit Solomon says "Answer not a fool acccording to his folly lest thou also be like him," and in excuse for what we have already written we would again quote that author, who in another pessage• says that 'it is some- times well, to "answer a fool according to his folly lest he be wise in his own conceit."
