THE EDUCATION BILL The Ontario Government deserves credit for its effort to raise the status of the teaching profession by the provision of a minimum mtlary for rural school teachers, which will indirectly affect also the salaries of teachers in the lower grades of the town schools. It has been a ser' complaint for years that the educa- tional opportunities provided for the children of the Province are being seriously impaired by the low salaries offered to teachers in very many school sections, the result being that ai vast amount of intellect and enthusi- asm which might have been retained in the't•anks of the teachers hats been diverted to other pursuits in which the rewards are greater. Whether the fixing of minimum salaries in the tnsnner now proposed by the Govern- ment will do all that may be expected of it is a matter for the futures to determine ; but at the least it cannot but have a beneficial effect.) The prospect would be lance hollefrll if the Government's plans regarding the model schools were of a different character. Persons of practical ex- perience declare that the county,. model schools give results that are vastly more satisfactory than those of the normal schools, and that to abol- ish the model schools will be to do away with the most efficient and practical means for the training of teachers. The scheme of establishing additional normal schools at a few points in the Province, to take the place of the model scheole, will make it much more difficult for young men and women who do not live in the im- mediate vicinity ad these schools to qualify for teaching. and at the sane time will reduce the standard of prac- tical capability, which is most readily developed by the present model schools. It will be unfortunate if such results follow the Government's policy and if we have, instead of the imuprovement to he looked for front the increase in salaries, a decrease in teaching ability through the flooding of the country with poorly -trained teachers. NIAGARA POWER. The question of Niagara Mower is agitating a portion of the Province at the present time, but there seems to lie no reason why any town in the dis- trict west, or north of Stratford should concern itself about the matter, a x• cept in a general way as it affects the interests of the Province as a whole. The estimates of the cost of the dis- tribution of power prepared by the Provincial hydro -electric power com- mission indicate that Niagatn power caudal mit be profitably employed here, For Stratford the cost in estimated at $20.411 to $24.114 pet' horsepower, the figures varying according to the amount of power used. For St. Marys, twelve miles west of Strat- ford,thefigures given are $'L;,IN1 1 $34,'JI. To bring the power to Gode- rich would evidently Bost not less then from $fu to $40 per hors'power. Hot theme figures are only for the trans- mission of the lower en bloc ; by the time it reaches the individual con - Nuttier there is an additiomtl cost of from $.i to CO per horsepower, and it Is tante to estimate that the pries of Niagara power for G,Nderirh menu- facturers would lie not less than from APO to $,ill, a figure equalling or ex- eeeding the cost of power developed trona coal, EDITORIAL NOTES. The rural school teachers think Pyne is pretty good timber. "The People's Joe" hits a achene• tinder his hat which he thinks will discount Niagara power in this neck o' the woods. _ While the mi ' salary prat - vision in the new education hill applies only to rural Reboots, It will affect town s•hodd also by raising the "price" of teachers all around. The Globe is authority for the state- ment.. which may be interesting to old settlers in this Seamy, that the Canada Company still amain 110,7 fi acne of land in Ontsrio, 70,Ia4 of whkh is vacant and the remainder under made. Mr. Foster thinks the lhrtninion Cabinet In its personnel is on the clown grade: he can now PPP very fe-v big men am the Ministeti'd benches, There may be 'thing in it 1 and then, again, it clay las there is some- thing wrong with Mr. Foster's eye- sight. Somme bald -head looking for comfort pretends to have discovered that there are eanperatively few halal criminals or bald lunatics. It may is• true enough, but just t he sample you couldn't find a bald-headed men between here and Moscow who wouldn't giYe his bast dollar for a ge ' • hair cultivator and take the risk of being put in the Cr' ' I or the atasmt-minded clans, The table of exports of ('i Iia! pnoluets for the past nine months give nab a tough idea of the relative impAnnce of the tariouN branches of Canadian industry. (If the prod- ucts of the mine there wad exported. in round figures, $23,1101,0110 worth ; of the products of the fisheries, *13,t100, - nen; of forest pr ducts, $28,011,• 1 N K1 ; of animate And their produce and agricultural pet dlaats, $114,i$10,(1K); and of tn,anufa.•tutes, $17,0iNI,IhUI. The farm is the touudat' of Coned/ea indus- trial and eumemercial life. President Roosevelt made as speech a few days ago which aerials to have had A'S -rather startling effect in certain circles. Ile tulvucatetl the taxing of large estate's by the state in under to prevent abnormally large fortunes from passing frau the owner, either at death or during life, tat any other single individual : something in the line of the inherit n e tax in this Province, with the difference that in Ontario the object of the tax is to in- crease the Provincial revepue, while President Roosevelt's design is to break up fortunes which have grown Venn excessive amount. The pollen of the proper distribution of wealth is one that may call for drastic treat - went in the not very distant future ; hut it would se•ui t1 he the re sens- ible plan tat try to prevent such un- natural accuumlationn as President Roosevelt has in mind theta to fit-• tempt to break then) up when once former. An ounce of prevention is still worth at pound of cure. In the tariff laws and the laws affecting land tenure in the United States, and in Canada as well, bay be found the canoes of a large ptoplartion of the ab- normal and unjust conditions which give 'nae roan immeasurable wealth and ane ter man desperate poverty. . The Tort to News at tempts to snake a point oat of the fact that of the seven Lihera from the :torthweet Territories in the Hous.` of l' fid at Ottawa. all of whom suppn•ted the autonomy legislation of last secs' , "Mr, Frank Oliver hes bee Min• isler, of the Interior, Mr. Walter Scott Premier of Saskatchewan, Mr. J. II. Lamont Attorney. -General of Saskatchewan, and Mr. Peter Talbot has just received at life Senatorship." It broadly suggests that the support of throne men was purchased by promises of office. There is nothing remarkable in the fact that such men as Mesuare. Oliver, Scott and Lamont, prominent in the councils of their party in the Northwest, should be in the position which they now occupy as a naturff condealuence of the gen- eral shuffle occasioned by the estab- lishing of two new Provincial Cab- inets. But it is remarkable that The News should forget that Mr. Scott is Premier, and Mr. Ion t is Attorney - General, of Saskatchewan, n o t through the favor of anyissly gat Ottawa, but because they possess the confidence of the people of Saskatch- ewan, The News still seems tet have the idea that the people of the West are inenpalrle of doing their own thinking.

(Special correspondence of The Signal.) Ottawa, April 11th. The beetle has changed, Haul. from watching the pro- ceedings on Parliament Hill, the citi- zens of the capital have turned their attention to entertaining royalty. Parliament Ias you know hos ad- journed for Eaasta•r. For four or Hve nights no beacon light will blase from the great tower overlooking the Ottawa River, but Ottawa is bus y larking after young Arthur of ('on - naught, and alt gh he has brought the wet weltther with him trauma the West he is welcome, and the glimpse obtained of hint this alternates as he drove from the station to Rideau Ball in the teeming main has created a very favorable impression. He lacks like at jolly, good-natured, unaffected young Briton who is enjoying the incidents of his trip with a healthy interest and is content tet put up with the eternal Iuutd+lutking and introductions and the vacuous addresses which confront him at every stage of the gauze, be- cause that is one of the uuavoiaable coedit' of the holiday, end he is ready with the Hritisher's devotion to duty to pray the price and•Ioed, as if lie liked it. Opposition Hunting Scandals. But to return to Parliament Hill, The House did not break up fair the holidays in the hest humor: indeed, it wits it lucky thing perhaps that va- cation intervened jest when it did. that everyone (night have a chance to recover his gas) temper. One would alma+t think that sonic of the, old Ataget a—George Eiden Foster, ,ei,d others --had been looking beck to the old sandal days. and comparing then., discontentedly, with, the lest ten years ; and, remembering what the final mute • of those sandals was ton J • 21, Itekil,tilead concluded to try to get history tat repeat itself. Two or three times in the Feast ten days, a quasi -sandal debate has been precipitated upon the House. and al- though it has developed little but hard napes and ebullitions of Incl temper it has not ivaprovel the feeling all rowel.
