¢ ------ Porth Bnturio Ghseher : a LY ONB DOLLAR > Ta 2 wear PORT PERRY, MAY 28, isn4. c Our School Sections CONTINUED FROM OUR LAST. A thorough readjustment of the 'boundaries of the several sections would entail a large amount of both trouble anid expense, school sites would have to be changed, school * houses moved and new ones built. Most of our sections already possess .good houses, some having but re- cently taxed themselves pretty . severely for the erection of these houses and might well demur at * any change likely to entail upon them additional outlay for school buildings. * This iu any case, to a very large extent at least, could be avoided and ought to be. None of «our sections can build a house with- out feellingitt .and when they bave built one they de not relish the idea of building asecond. A careful val- nation of the property in each secti- on previous to any change of bound- ary would completely obviate the necessity for any one losing any- Ahing by any change which might ihereffected. 'The other mode of - meeting - the difficulity is thedoing away with the seperate sections altogether and bringing all the schools in the stownship under one board of trus- 'tees, making a uniform school rate -over all thestownship and allowing parties to send to.swhich, ever school they please. Tt must pot be suppos- 'ed that this system would be all plain sailing. lu the first place it could not be expected that a town- ship board would take as much in terest in tho several sections as the trustees living in the section would .do. The system too would be much more expensive than the present-- not necessarily so--but trom the very working of the system it would tend to increase the expense: Every section. would clamor for as good a house and furniture as any other section. One section would argue that they pay. asmuch as.any-other section and thepefore {hey have a perfect right 'to have as good a house, furniture,.and teacher as any othrer section. All this would vastly increase the general expense . of ourschoolsif it would not prove an insurmountable bone of contention. That sections w hich are too small to support a good and vigorous school, and those which are so laid out that soma of the children cannot get to school ars unbearable nusin- ances and demand aspeedy remedy no one we think .will gdinsay; but great care is-required in providing the remedy 'lest 'the remedy should prove to be worse than the disease Railway Bonuses. The railway acts passed during the late sessionof 'the provincial parliament contain all the grouping clauses in their most virulent form. 'Buppese for instance that fifty or ~moré qualified electors in any town- ship wished the township to grant a bonus to either of our projected railways these fifty or more electors 'have only to get up a petitien-o that «effect, stating how much they wish the towuship to grant, let at least fifty of them sign the petition and present it to the council, the council must within six weeks after the pres- ~antation of said petition meet and :puss a by<law to have the. matter .submitted . to the qualified voters of «the towmship, Or .if a bonus is wanted from only -a :portion of a township fifty or more qualified vot- . ers within that portion from which ithe.bonus is to be asked get up a spetition, setting forth the metes and beunds of the portion from which the bonus is to be. asked with, the .. amount. of bonus wanted; and present dng thisio the council, the council m.ast within six weeks pass a by-law as inbove andsubmit it to the qualifi- ed v.o*ers of the portion referred to.

Unwavering devotion to his master's interests brought & corresponding reward. When the days of chivalry passed away and men settled down to peaceful pursuits the opportuni- tibs for gaining distinction increased, and the quality and degrees of pre- ferment became more varied. To win gne's spurs in the days ot-chiv- alry was no easy task, they had to be won at the sword's point; and the deeds of daring registered in blood. Now, however, marks of distinction: if Jess valuable,are muuch more casily obtained ; they can be gathered in the fields of literature, science and art as well as on the battle field® or on the blood-stained ocean's breast ; and one pass of the royal weapon on the back of the sage or clown *fol- lowed by the significant phrase « Rise Sir Knight," raises both to a cgmmon level in society and both far above the rank of ordinary mor- #als. While royalty reserves to it-- self the exelusive right, the incom- . municable power of conferring the higher degrees,it has deligated to its subordinates the power of conferring the lower degrees. We had a strik- 'ing illustration of this in North On- tario very rocently. Mr. Parton the M. P. P. for North Qatario, has had. a'large, intelligent and faithful following allburning for distinction amongst thejr fellowmen and anxious to ascend to a height attained only by the few. These presented their claims to their. ador- able leader, demanding some recog- nition at his hand. Accordingly Mr :Paxten, 'being willing to exercise his semi=royal prerogative and with a magnanimity characteristic of all great minds or- dered them to prostrate themselves at once at his feet while he grasped the royal weapon. No sooner said than done, down they go by the bundred on all fours, .anxiously waiting the longed for command, « Rise Sir Knight," In the mean time the would-be potentate swings the regal weapon with a judicion and precision in keeping with the highly lsuperior intelligence, and cute dis- crimination of our M. P. P. and down comes the legal blade on the back of this one, that one and the other accompanied by the longed for phrase, "Rise Sir Squire I" and then there steod-up a mighty great army of Squires bristling and blazing in their newly acquired honors, being crowd and placed on an elevation of honor and dignity unapproachable by the rank and file. But while these all stand -and "bask jn the ,| smiles of-hanor, there were hundreds still prostrate impatiently waiting the longed for pass of the semi-regul weapon and to be dubbed squire.-- Their disappointment, chagrin and disgust may be more easily imagined than described when the potentate exclaimed "Ft is enough," sheathed his sword - and sent his .deseiples forth to administer justice to all the world. The still prostrate expect ants seeing no further hope of pre- ferment, gathered themselves up as best they could aud slunk awey.-- One runs t the disappointed sorrowing ones at every corner.-- The cliagrin of the more anxious expectarts is very afflicting and if they dq not.commit something des- perate it will be a wonder. the parties whose long, faithful and devoted serviceg bave secured for them a distinction amongst their fellow men ; those were filled with humors while hundreds. of their pros. trate fellows were sant . 4mpty . and growling away.

P. will sit vith the worst possible grace ; for it is notorious that they have been at swords' points with justice for the past dozen years. As might have been expected the sudden elevation of some of ournew- ly fledged J. P's has brought on them a dangerous type of insanity, which we hope may pass away with the glitter of office. England's gresttest poet has said : " The quahty of justice is not strain- ed, it droppeth as the gentle dew from heaven upon the place be- neath." 5 But in the case of ore of our new- made J P's justice seems to flash as the thunder bolts from 'heavep.-- Only a eouple of days ago one of our new justices tried to convince bis client that digging post holes was an unwarrantable tickling of the bowels of the earth. The un- fortunate client did not seem to comprehend the argument when justice dashed from tho shoulder of the irate J. P. with such convincing effect that the position of the obdur- ate client xvks instantly changed from that of .a perpendicular to a horizontdl. The prosterate client feeling the effect of Mr. Justice's powerful arguments bogan to use like arguments with telling effect on the facial organs of the represen- tative of the blind godess. The min- ister of justice was several times --aunder the powerful arguments of his client--made to.stoop down and whisper something to the ground. Our J. P. not relishing this sort of debate rushed from the field with his honors thick upon.him--such honors as assailants who get worsted and have to ru» always. wear.

Go and secure choice Furniture, See Posters and Ad, Teauvhers' Institute. To-morrow and Saturday Dr. Sangster,one of the best educationists in the Dominion, will meet the School Teachers of the County of Ontario, at Uxbridge, for the purpose of having a talk with them on educational af- fairs, and of giving them his advice and as- sistance in forming a Teachers' Institute for the County. A highly important part of the proceedings, and one which many more than teachers willbe glad to, witness, will ;be .the Dr's illustrations of his. method of teaching the moré important branches taught in our public schools, while the lecture on the evening of to-morrow, Friday, will doubtless be a treat both rich and rare. That the Dr. iis admirably fitted, for the dntivs hg has un- dertake is well known to everyone who knows anything of our educational instita- tions or of their chicf promoters, Dr.Sangste has long occupied a foremost place in the front ranks of our most distinguished educa- tionists, whether asan author and compiler of school books, an active and successful in-- structor of youth and trainer of teachers, or the moving spirit of our great training ip- stitution, the Normal School. Every true friend of the thorough educaticn of our youth will regard the present vikit of the Doctor with unmixed feelings of satisfaction and pleasure! What teacher who values his pro. fession, who feels desirous of knowing the best mode of bandling the several Lranches taught in our public schools ut will be anxious to witness the Doctor's illustrations and to have a talk with him on the all im- portant matters connected with our public schools and their management. 'Which parent having the educational in- terests of his offspring at heart will not be glad of the Doctor's visit amongst the teach- ers of their children, as by such visits the teachers will acquire a knowledge of the best modes of teaching the several branches taught in our schools. So that teachers, pupils, parents and the community at large will not only be interested but benefitted by the Doctor's visit. At this particular season of the year when the seyeral branches of the protestant church in this coun- try hold their annual conference, the advantages and disadvantages of the system of itinerancy amongst the preachers can scarcely efail to present themselves to almost every- one at all observant of the changes which take place around. That a good deal might be said in favor of and against the system, ayill be ad ri by all ; but we beliexe:a xery large preponderence of the argument will remain in favorofthe principle. When the faithtul and earnest la- borer, obgerves on the right hand and on the left, the seeds of his labor be- ginning to germinate and sand forth tender buds, he must with reluctance leave that field of labor to, for aught he knows, unskillful hands or at least to one in a great measure ig- norant of the soil he has got to till, and equally unacquainted with the description otf the plants he has got to handle ; and it may be that unskillful bandling shall blight the buds and prevent their further de- velopment. The mother and family may Ue pleasantly located in an agreeable, intelligent neighborhood, supplied | with good sehools;and other import- anfadyantages tending to make life comfortable, must feel when told to ariseand. move whither they know not, and iv may be locate where neither of the above advantages may be found. This would be a decided privation and at first sight appears to severely militate against the sys- tem of itinerency. But the circum- stancos may sxaly be reversed, the ocated where his utmost efforts and prayerful anxiety appear to produce uo fruit, where the soil appears barren and virtue at a discount ; where the advantages of a good school, intelligent society and a pleasant neighborhood are not to Dr, Sangster is about to be elected a mem- ber of the Council of Public Instruction by the public school teachers of the Provinge of Ontario, and for some reason or other the Toronto Globe, followed by his whole pack of echoes is ou his track slinging the globu- lar mud with his usual fairness and good taste. What the Doctor has done to bring upon himself the hot displeasure of the Globe and, as a matter. of course, of his whole troupe, is not easily guessed, and it certainly matters very little. We wonder if Sangster had any hand in administering to the Globe those unmerciful castigations he received from the educational department ou. severs! occasions during past, years, Doubtless the Globe fecls his sores, but it would be childish to acknowledge it, and with a malignity cruel as the grave he enters intg the confines ot the domestic circle of the man whom he secks to ruin, and with the utmost gusto drags to public gaze matters the merits o which neither he nor the public understand and with which they have got pothing to do' Neither she Globe nor its following dae de-- ny the superior qualifications possessed by Dr.8 for the th gh disch of the dutigs of the office to which the teachers of Ontario are about to elect him. But he -is not the Globular choice and he must be put dpwn by and means however contempt-- ible. The teachers of Ontario are made of sterner stuff than to be wheeled jnto line by the Globe and made his subservient tools in helping him to pay the Dr. for an old grudge. The teachers know that there is no man in the Dominion better qualified: for, the position of a member of the Council of pub- lic Justruction than Dr. Sangster and they will show their appreciation of first class abilities by sending him to represent them ad.
