ones being extremely beautiful. They

for the use of the ladies of the church,
A large and very handsome Japanese
umbrella didservice as a booth, beneath
which two charming young ladies dis-
persed bouquets and lemonade. Choice
music from an im provised orchestra filled
the air. A remarkably pretty four-
square arch graced the main entrance,
and a lavish display of evergreens made
a dark background to the scene. The
three essentials to a successful garden
party were not wanting for there were
lots of people, lots of provisions and
lots of phoney, and everybody seemed
hitppy and centented. Proceeds $72,25.
Base Ball Tips.
The Exeter base ball club is endeavor
ing to arrange a match with Ailsa Craig
for the 12th. They have beensosuccess-
f ul in the games thus far played this
season that local clubs are reluctant
about trying conclusions with them.
To give an idea of their superiority we
might mention a series of matches that
have recently been played A few
weeks ago a match was played with the
Mitchell club, the Exeterites defeating
them in a score of 19-4. Mitchell then
defeated St. Marys in a similar score,
and St. Marys "downed" Stratford al-
most as ridiculously. Taking the score
Exeter made over Mitchell and thescore
by which St. Marys defeated Stratford,
Exeter must,be an exceedingly good .
team or Stratford a miserably poor one.
The Godericli Star in the report of the
lst July proceedings, says :—The base
ball game between Exeter andGoderich
proved to be a very one sided perform-
ance, as the Exeter boys were in so
much better training than the Goderich
team that the latter got only two runs
to the twenty obtained by the former
club. There was, however, some very
good work on both sides, although the
sharp play of the visiting team had the
most telling effect upoethe score. W
e
are sorry to report that the Exeter team
was treated very discourteously at the
hands of the Godericli club. The
Godericli team must have keenly felt
their defeat, as when the game was com-
pleted the members deserted the
grounds and the visiting team, allowing
the Exeter boys to pay their own ex-
penses—which in itself is detestably
mean—and refused to tell where the
challenge cup might be found, 'Twas
ever thus with Goderieh. "NsThole hog
or cold shoulder."

RICHARD PICKARD,
Entrance Examinations.
A great many from the surronndin
country besides several 'villager's wer
engaged at the Exeter public school fo
several days of lust week, writing f
admittance to the high schools • an
collegiate institutes. The children an
tioipated a severe examination and ha
been working hard for months previous
getting up textbook work. The paps
are difficult, indeed, for persons of mor
mature years, much less for those o
tender age, and have been prepared
political friends of the Hon. A. M
Ross, Minister of EducationforOntario
regardless of reason on the part of th
compilers, and decidedly contrary t
the principles which should govern. th
capabilities of age. In fact some of th
men chosen to prepare papers for child
ren look upon education from a pedago
gic standpoint. Many of the pape
would even puzzle the teachers to wor
out. Sometimes a paper is submitted t
the High school applicant on grammar
.history and similar subjects thatknock
them dumb, and then a greater portio
of them are "plucked," and, have to g
back to the old routine of commo
school work; and by the time thes
pupils have been plucked two or thre
times on some cranky papers, the
come to the conclusion that there is n
use to try any longer, and drift into lif
but an imperfect knowledge of th
essentials of a practical business educe
tion. A boy might be a Sir Isaac New
ton in mathematics, and a Shakespear
in literature, yet if he lack anything in
his geographical lore he is kept in the
same place for months—no advance
ment. In a graded system there is no
expansion, and according to our presen
examinations thereis little mental scope
The whole thing is grind and cram—a
hot -house mental growth. By the time
the ordinary pupil goes through the
multifarious subjects' fitting him for
High School, Collegiate Institute exam-
inations, be gets into a kind of mental
and nervous prostration, These many
examinations, besides straining the
mind in young children, pooduce a kind
of intellectual surfeit or overload, and
what they learn to -day they forget to-
morrow. The true object of education
is not to put in but to lead out as the
word itself implies. Yearly there are a
great many children come from the
surrounding country and write for en•
trance to the high schools, and all who
pass either go to Clinton of Goderich to
pursue their education, which means to
the parents a heavy outlay annually,
This outlay could be saved by having a
high school in Exeter, while many
others ,vho, in view of the heavy cost
and inconvenience at present do not go
beyond a common school education,
would gladly take advantage of High
school facilities, were Exeter in posses-
sion of such. Itis decidedly unfairthat,
in the centre of the county there should
be located three high schools, while
Wingham and Exeter, the two ends,
have to clo without, and send their
children to Clinton, Seaforth or
Godericli. The day isnot far distant,
however, when the people of the, north
and soutrr'of the county will be privileg-
ed by high school accommodation.
