here, but the the sohool lot has a very
neglected appearance, being littered with
tile, eoattered wood, and debris of various
kinds. The water in the well is also very
bad, totally unfit to drink.
Messrs. Oe mpboll, Strath and Inspeotor
Robb visited S.S. No. 8, Grey, ou Sept.
0th. They found the school premises
neat, Olean and oomplete. They oom•
plimanted Mae Simpson on the work of
the pupils and the home like appearance
of the sohool house and eobool yard, and
also the neatness of the pupils which was
in harmony with their environment.
S.S. No. 3, Grey, was visited by P. S.
Inepeotor on Thursday, Sept. let. There
were 34 pupils present. These acquitted'
themselves very meditably and were com-
plimented by the Inspeotor who promoted
a Part 2nd class to Second Book. When
the new well ie dug the sohool premien
will be in good shape. For moms years
the teacher could not offer to a visitor the
smallest of all oharitiea,—a cup of cold
water.
8. S. No. 4, Grey, was visited on Sept.
811 by Seo.-Treas. Bryans, Trustee
Praiser, Mr. Breckenridge and the sohool
Inspeotor. The work of this school is in
a very satisfactory state. The teacher,
Mr. Thompson, and pupils ware praised
by the visitors on the standing of the
pupils and the cleanliness and neatness
of the premises. Here as elsewhere,
the pupils are in harmony with their
surroundings, olean, neat and oontented.
Pnnnreom rm.—A. well attended and en-
thusiastic meeting in the interest of the
Prohibition question was held on Wed.
neaday evening, 31st August in the sohool
house of No. 1 Section, Grey. T. Strach-
an, Bairn, was elected ohairman and de.
livered an exoellent address in which be
touched upon many of the different
phase° of the subject. He stated that the
affair belongs to neither political party.
It has been brought in by the peanut
government but bas been foroed upon
them by the people. The opinion is
rapidly growing that this evil oannob be
overthrown without Prohibition. He
said that if the majority say we want
Prohibition, we will have it. The argu.
meat that there will be no a000mmodation
for the travelling public has very little
force. He believed that hotels would still
exist but there would be no bar -room.
Turning to the moral aide of the question
Mr. Strachan said that no paean is °at-
tain that be or the will not fall a victim
to this terrible evil if allowed to remain
in our land. Men are seedy led astray.
Many a man would be an ornament to
society to -day were is not for intoxicants.
We are on the right side. Tho best men
and women of this country are with us.
There has always been difficulty in bring.
ing about moral reform. In the days of
slavery many a miuieter favored the nye.
tem. Today the minister would be
ashamed to be considered on that side, I
do not say that total abetioeuoe will make
men Christiane but Re tendency is in that
direction. The liquor traffic is a relict
heathendom and should be driven from a
Christian land. Mr, Ritchie °ailed the
attention of the meeting teethe fact that
there need be no fear of the revenue.
There will be fewer paupers and fewera
of ioers to look after priaons and prisoners.
Asa resnit the present poet of the eonntry
will be very much lessened. Mr. Bielby
reminded the audience that the eider part
of the Prohibition done not moan that
you cannot make apple juice, but that
eider is fermented liquor which must not
be manufaoturod for drinking purposes.'
James Mitchell referred in a humorous
manner to the medicinal aide of the ques-
tion, As far as hie obeervation went it
seemed to be more of a poison than it
medioine. W. 13, Stewart said that ho
has had created within him a lasting
hatred to the traffic. Having lived der.
ing 110 oltildhood close to a hotel bo had
ample opportunity to observe its evils.
He tboutht that as far asinjurions results
are concerned all anyone needed to do
was to open bin eyes and loots around
bim. No person ebould say that as the -
business does not hurt him he need not
trouble himself about it. It we nave the
power and opportunity to alleviate human
suffering we are in duty bound to do so.
