FRIDAY, OCT. 28, 1892.
Tan Provinoied elections in Naw Brans-
wiolc on Saturday resulted in the Blair
Administration boiug snetained. The
number of members eleotsd was as fol-
lows :—Goverement, 24 ; Opposition, 13 ;
Independent, 2, with two to hear from,
whioh will probably inoreaso the Govern-
ment's majority. A feature of the day's
polling was the defeat of Premier Blair
in York County.
Timm bave been an unusual number
of largely attended religions gatheriuge
in the Province of Ontario this fall,
The meeting together of Christian people
fog the discuseion of the best modes and
means for carrying en more aggressive
work is one of the most hopeful signs of
the times and presages many a victory
in the moral and spiritual realm. In
the past the laity have allowed the bur.
den of religious work to fall on the
minister bat these Workers' Conventions
are disabusing this old idea and causing
a large increase in the number of seed
sowers entering the field in the hope of
aiding in the gathering of sheaves in the
time to dome. Practical religion is
making rapid advances and by the in.
terohaogs of thought, the constant and
careful perusal of the Bills a nd more
faith in the Giver of every good gift the
churches are awakened to a better ap-
preciation of the urgent work necessary
to be done. The Young people of this
Province have golden opportunities of
employing and imporvingtheir talents.
LAST Friday Sir Oliver Mowat oele-
brated the 21st anniversary of his Pre-
miership of the banner Province of On•
tario. Ontario's Grand Old Mau has
unique distinction in his record as the
obief executive officer in the government
of his native Province. He has been
Premier of Ontario for so long a period
that a parallel to his experience is not to
be found in the government of English.
speaking countries. Sir John Macdonald
was a member of a cumber of govern-
ments in Canada, bat his longest oontin•
eons stretch of power was only thirteen
years, and no anter Canadian Premier
has ever held may coutin000ely for so
long a farm. In Great Britain, Walpole
served bis country as Premier from 1721.

elder Pitt was Premier from 1783 to 1801,
a period of 17 years and 84 (Mos ; and

Government from 1918 to 1897—in all

man who has treaded governments in the
last 100 years ever enjoyed a continuous
term of office extending into double
figures. There are various reasons for
Sir Oliver's uniform success, Oilier
among these is the fact that the people
have faith iu the hone:+ty of his admutis
tratiou. No scandal has beau developed
under his regime, and though some of us
believe chat he moves a little slow in
some matters, it has generally happened
that he has advanced quite as fast ae the
people were wiliiug to give effective sup-
port to his legislative measures. Sir
Oliver, though well up in years, e:ejoye
physical and intellectual vigor superior
to many who are his juniors. Thab he
may live to equal the age of Gladstone,
and continue to serve hie Province in the
capacity in which he has done her such
good service in the past, is a wish thtut
will be indorsed by the large majority of
the electorate,
BRUSSELS SCHOOL BOARD.
Public School affairs in Bru.,sels have
bion a fruitful topic of discussion for
some weeks but until something definite
was done by the Board Tun POST kept,
Mum. The appearance of the advertise•
maul in lasb Saturday's dailies asking for
a staff of teaohere for Brussels school for
1903 establishes the reality of the action
of the last Board meeting. That the
Board is net 0unit has boon borne out
by their own records, whence then the
upheaval ? Inspector Robb, who visits
the various Departments regularly, says
the school is well mauagod and bis writ.
ten reports have been recd at the Board
meetings more then once. Lot tis see
what be has sal,/. Cutler date of April
11 1831 :—
"In Mr. Shaw'e roost I foundfro 8 0 .

eat—a 4th and lith oIs s, Th , pupils did
very well and show the result of uaref"l
t:eachiug. The order and discipline are
of the higheet order, I consider Mr.
Shaw an excellent teacher and at a
Principal he lits no superior and few
equees in this Inspe0torate, llie system
of teething hart this to commend it ;-.-
he teaches pupile to t1ink for themselves
ani not to put their chief dependance in
eiteor lege, or teachers, Thie fe the
highest order of teaching, Mise A. R.
Abraham's room had 45 preeenb when I
visited it, a Janie:: 2nd, senior 2nd, and
junior 8rd, Miss Abraham is doing iaat
oil it

sellout teacher in every way. Order and
dieoiplina are quite satisfaobory.In the
lowest 00010 there were 58 pupils, Thie
room is in excellent form. Alias M. Ah•
raliam seems to bo quite equal to hor
Oster Ate the management of children,
She is in full sympathy with her pupils,
13rnusels hoe an exeellout staff of Meehan
and I elctoerely hope that the Board may
be able to retain the same stall until the
town builds to school house worthy of its
teachers and creditable to Brussele. In-
specting tvonld be very pleasant work if
all my eel:eels were tike yours."
Mies Taylor was teaching the Depart.
meat now in charge of Mies Braden and
the rsmarke ooueerniug her roan were
equally oreditable to her. There does
not appear to be any nnoertainty as to
Inspector Robb's opinion in April 1801•
Last March the Board reoeived another
testimonial as to the capability of the
teaohere of wbiah the following 19 a syn.
opsin :--
"I found all the teachers doing faithfnl
work, I find n0 reason to change the
high opinion limes always held of lir.
Shaw and the Misses Abraham, I nen
quite pleased with Miss Braden as a
teacher—her teaching, order and method
of discipline are quite satisfactory."
Again on Out, 8, 1893 a lengthy and
pointed report comes loom the Inspector
and among obher things be says ;—"In
my previous reports I have testified to
the teaohiug ability of the present stuff
and I have no reason to change my
opinion. I 51000rety hope that the Board
will make no rash 'leap in the dark."
Prom Tnii Bnusaoxs Pon I learn that
the Board intend reducing the salaries of
the staff. Of oonrse it may be said in
defence of this course that "a starved cat
makes a good hunter," bet I think that a
little consideration will show that your
salaries at present are not excessive. Ln
Olinton the beadier that does the same
work as Miss Braden reoeivee $375 ; in
Seaforth, $375 ; and in Wingham, $385.
In Clinton the teacher that dors parallel
work with Miss Maud Abraham rooelves
6325 ; in Wingham, $820 ; and Seaforth,
$315. The same grade of work that is
done by Mise Auntie R. Abraham receives
in Clinton, $325 ; in Wingham, $385 ;
and Seaforth, (I think) $830. Blybh
pays its lowest teacher $300. The Prin•
areal of the Public school at Clinton re-
ceives $850 ; in Seaforth, 6800 ; and
Wingham, $050. I do nob see how a
Principal can live on less than 6700 a
year. From the report of the Minister
of Education for 1891 it will be seen that
many villages pay more than 6700 per
annum to the Principals of their schools.
I earnestly urge the Board not to strike
at the efficiency of the solool by reducing
the salaries and thus cause the loss of the
present ufliOient staff and subjecting their
children to the orude experimenting of
"legal infants." I am simply the ser-
vant
ervant of the hoard but it is my duty to
point ontto the Board anytbiog that I
think will be for the good of the school."
As a matter of fact the Wingham
School Board has raised the salary of
their Prinuipal to $700 for next year.
We have heard no complaints during the
past year by the ratepayers as to the
question of salary bnt if the Board is iu
for saving money why offer any stated
sum in en attvertieement 7 Let the
various departments to the lowest bidder.
It has been said by tnembarsuf the Board
that ull the teachers (vide the exception
of Miss Haut Abraham woo goes to the
Normal) ars eligible to apply for the
oreabedvacanciee. This tnay ba so but
if their re.appointmeats are satisfactory
to the Board why all this hubub ? Would
it not have been more business like to
have first interviewed the teachers and
learned their opinious on a question of re-
engaging at reduced pay and then if not
satisfactory advertise for a fresh staff or
whatever number was required ? The
unbiased opinion of Inspector Robb whet,
there was no talk of nhauge and the ox•
presslons from the majority of the Board
would lead us to believe that our teachers
uruebbe doing good work. If the Board
would as energetically push the question
of regular abtendanoe as outlined as their
duty in the School Law they would be
working on lines better calculated to ad-
vance the intereate of both the present
and future well being of the school.
There will no doubt be a large number
of applications received for the four de.
partments but we want to state here and
now that the action of the Board is not
regarded favorably by the ratepayere of
Brussels and unless some better reason
can be given for the course permed than
have boob advanced people will have to
draw their own conolusious as to the why
and wherefore. We have gone into this
question at length so that the residents
of Brussels may understand the true
position of affairs. We have our doubts
if any member of the Board would like
to ha^e his yearly allowance curtailed to
the extent of even $25. "A fair days pay
for an honest day's walk" is not a bad
motto to go by. The next meeting of the
Board will be an interesting one no doubt
and we purpose giving our readers the
particulars.
