That where -teachers have been engaged for a year, an effort is to be made to compel them by law to keep their word fo at leasta term, That the strange anomaly' exists on the Advisory Board to the Minister of Education of sixteen educational employees to two of the Educational employers o). the Province. That some desire is shown to extend the course of studies by the more genet al introduction of Domestic Science and MGnua' Training, coupled :with, the gro-iing feeling among others that the` curriculum of the Public School is altogether too wide spread and would be better for being considerably l in- ited in range of subjects. Thatreg- ular' medical inspectibn of the school is still in the forefront of advanced educational thought and was strong- ly advocated by IDr. Helen McMurchy, of Toronto.

RAD PROBLEM Ontario has been discussing roads. foe several years, andit is an . im- portant question which needs discuss- ion and action. It does not seem to have been tackled in the right 'way in the province. At certain sea- sons ei the year our roads are nearly, all in a passable condition and many of them good, brft there are other seasons when the roads to a very large extent are altogether unfit for travel. No one has yet evolved a practical and comprehensive scheme. for improvings all roads ,and keeping them good after they are improved. This will come ire time, no doubt, but in the meantime a lotof, money is being' spent on roads in a more or less hap -hazard fashion, and without permanent provision for maintenance and the future up -keep of the road. A government a county or township may spend thousands of dollars to build roads, but if no provision is made to maintain the, roads after they are built, that money will, to a large extent be wasted. What is required is. a.. comprehensiveschemecovering all the roads and so planned that some body will be responsible for even road. This is worked out, in the United States by- the State ' assum- ing _ responsibility for certain main roads,- the, counties tor roads leading to these, and the township for,the balance all working under one definite plan This seems to be a workable plan for securing permancy . in road building and maintenance. All the roads cannot be built at once. But if some definite, comprehensive plan were decided upon' and a begin - 'Mg „made to carry it into execution there would be more accomplished than the present hit •• and miss scheme, with no one responsible for keeping the roads in proper repair after they are built, Hh FARMER TEAC1•IING THE BUSINESS MAN, Mr: Business • Ma -n, have you no- ticed how the fartner has been using the advertising columns of ,this paper of late? If he bas anything to sell he makes it known in theWantdolumns. If he has an auction sale he no long- er relies upon posters, but pays additi anal cash to ha'Ve it announced in the paper,.
