NEW HIGHSCHOOL (iOtRSE—An in- terim schedule of regulatinns for High School examinations has been adopted by the Education Department. This, it was announced at the _Education Department, is an addition to the new regulations for the Normal Schools. The High school schedule is prepar- atory to final action in the new curr- iculum which was presented to the Ontario Educational Association. It provides with respect to Latin that all marks over 50 per cent. may be added to the aggregate in other subjects. The commercial course diploma exam- inations are all abolished. Local Boards of Education are empowered to arrange their own commercial course with reference to local require- ments Rev. Irl. R. Hicks, of St, Louis,- has issued his forecasts for August includ- ing till the 8th. The whole month of August will feel more or less the in- fluence of the equinox of the planet Mars. The Mars disturbance will be central on the 20th, extending from the last of July, well into September. If at the entrance of a Mars period it is dry and warm, it is safe to say that The Harvey Bros. have this week shut down the grist mill in order to al- 1owof the placingof new machinery which is this week being installed, The machinery in general is receive- ing a good over hauling and clean- ing up, They expect to be running again in the course of a few weeks better equip3 than ever to attend to the wants of the public. The prizelist for the Stephen and Usborne Agricultural Fall Show have been published and will be ready for distribution about Aug. lst. There has been a groat revision of the list, especially in the ladies' department. The Molsons Bank, Exeter, have do- nated a special prize for the largest and best display of grain grown by a farmer in South Huron, one bushel of each. 1st prize $3.00, 2nd $2. The Hamilton Spectotor advertised for boy to hold copy as assistant to tts proof reader, and received many boyof 17 applications, selecting a who declared that he had aquired in the Collegiate Institute "a fundamental system of bookkeeping and business forms." . To test his spelling he was given 25 ordinary everyday newspa- per words, and of these he spelled just five correctly, The Spectator says, probably very truly, "This boy is no freak. He is a fair sample of the boys who have the advantage of the great- est system of eclucatiea in the world, as administered by the Hamilton Board of Education," But in one of the fundamental principals of a useful - education his training has been ne- glected, The school system is respon- sible for this, and it is not the only defect. The experience in this office , has been that correct and ;intelligible reading is another requisite that is too much neglected, and the defects in this lino acquired in early school life are too often intensified after the pub- lic schools are parsed, DOMINION ExHnIBTION DAYS—The ?Dominion Exhibition days have been apportioned as follows: Thursday, Aug. 27th, and Priday, Aug. 28th, dreparation days Saturday.

Your children feel they cannot allow the day to pass without expressing their gratitude to God that you both have been spared fo them in the land of the living. They desire also to convey their pro- found thankfulness to yourselves for the wise and godly manner in which you directed their steps in childhood, and for the parental love always uppermost in your hearts as well as the wholesome influence your example and precept has ever exercised upon us. Not many families have been favoured with life and health as ours has been. That the parents should enjoy aulunbroken union for half a century, and that all their children but two should not only survive in- fancy but should live to see this au- spicious day, constitutes an except- ional family record. The course of nature forbids us to hope that this record shall be continued for many more years, but we fervently trust another happy reunion awaits us be- yond the River. Four sons, five daughters, and twenty-two grand- children unanimously unite in mani- festing towards you their sincere aff- ections on this the advent of your Golden wedding. We therefore beg to mark this happy event with a simple token of our filial love. Will you dear father accept this gold chain and locket, and you dear mother will you please accept this gold lined cake basket. These simple gifts, we hope shall he to you, at once, emblems the same kind of weather will largely of the undying affections of your predominate until this period is past. grateful children and thereby hecome If we come well into a Mars period a delighful memory of this happy day.

The regular storm periods will not be obliterated, but the dis- turbance athese hese regular times will a be modified or aggravated in the dir- ection of existing conditions when the Mars period was entered. Hence, if the present case is not an exception to the rule. we may expect, in the main, the kind of weather existing the last week in July, throughout August and into Septemder. Whatever degree of intensity may be given to them, reg- ular storm disturbances will be due from the ht to the 4th of Angust.
