The second Wednesday in each yeur is the day appointed for hold- ing the annual school meetings throughout the province and much importance ought to be attached to such meetings.

In Brock® as in Port Perry and Scugog much of the poetry was 'money thus paid is to sce the rising genera. tion all around receiving such an education as will fit them for the efficient performance of the active dulics of after life, and every [ child suffered $0 grow up in ignorance is just so much of the money wasted. But in school matters as in all clse one may "pay too duar for his whistle", and while it is the duty of the trustees to sce that every child in the section is receiving a proper ed=cation it is no less their duty to see that not one dollar isunnecessarily expended and that the taxpayers are not called upon.to pay a taken out of tho election in conse- quence of Mr. Gillespie, the head of the council having been returned by of the school is submitted to the ratepayers, a full, dewiled statement ot the income and expenditure for the year just past, with a careful audit of said accounts. When it is considered that the vital and all ab- sorbing subject of the education of the young has so much to do with the proceedings of said meetings, the cold such meetings ure generally regard. It is most indifference with which ed is difficult of explanation. with much veluctarce that people attend such meetings and when they do attend they appear neither to know nor care anything about the nature of the proceedings. It is true that in very many in- stances no effort is made to render such meetings interesting or even intelligible; some one gets up and mumbles over the.annual report with the most perfect indifference while the few listeners seem impatient for the close of the farce. Now some one within the enclosure moves that Mr be re-elected to the office of Trustee for another term. No soon. er said thar done, the innocent souls all raise their hands in token of acquiescence and the farce proceeds, A short tilt of mutual admiration follows and the invocent crowd are profligate with their votes of thanks 10 everybody winding up with a "tiger" for the chairman which completes the burlesque and the meeting breaks up mot one in ten knowing any mare about tho pro- weedings than they do of the pro- ion of the equi . Noone we believe knowing anything of the proceedings of such meetings will attempt to deny that the above is only a too faitkful picture of nine out of every ter of such meetings. -- T'hat some school meetings are pro perly condmcted does not at all militate against the accuracy of our description 6f a vast majority of such moetings; the mistortune that the jpreture is too accurate and the wonder is that a. intelligentand otherwise energetic people should «den wo loosely with a matter of so much importance. Isa councilor to beelected the whole municipality is on end, évery candidate is subjected to the most thorough overhaul and be must pass through the crucible of an election contestere he can be elected to the position, und this is as it ought to be and none but those pro- perly qualified should be elected to the municipal council. But willany one attempt to assert that the office of School Trustee is less important than that of municipal eouncilor or that the trust committed to his care is less important. Is tho pro- per training and education of the young of less importance than the repairing of roads and bridges, or is the five or six cent tax on the $100 for municipal purposes at the dispos- 'of of our municipal fathers of more consequence than thesixty orseven- ty cents'on the $100 placed atthe dis: posal of our School Trustees. Is it a matter of no consequence who our School Trustees muy be, will not incompetency and neglect of duty on their part militate against the jnterests of the school and of the gection and do a lasting injury to tho children? Granted that trustees are not teachers, but an active, ut- tantive board of trustees co operating with the teacher can do very much in the in'erest of the scheol and in forwarding the education of the pupils. Trustees' duties are no less varied than important and without the active sympathy and support of the trustees the bost teacher that ever entered a school will find bis efforts crippled, his hands tied to u greater or less extent, and were the -people foolish enough to appoint a _ trustee who cannot or will not at- fond to bis dutics the unworthy rustee is no less blamable on that ¢ and it is a contemptible din any man accepting of the 'who is not in a position and ned to perform tbe duties 15 pitchfork a teacher into | and fot Bim sink or swim; of trustees that they will hold single dollar more than is absolutely necess is it all education which is, title.

In Port Perry the vote was well in and much interest was manifested in the contest; the candidates show- favorite candidates. The Reeve having been returned by acclama, tion there were only four coun- cilors to elect and there were six good men in the field to select from, viz ; Messrs Major, Bruce, Crandell, Dawes, Rolph, and Phillippo. They were all elected the first four to the council and the last two to stay at home ; personally the last two are gainers by the loss, they are both any council. The corporation will have no cause to regrot their choice The voting was close except for Mr. Major who took a sweeping vote of 192, the others were 156, 147, 135, 126 and 126. Popular favor is as fickle as the wind. REACH. In Reach the snow banks had a cooling effect and while there was not a little underground work going on all day there was scarcely a rip- ple on the surface, Mr. Dobson having been returned for 1st D. Reeve by acclamation left only four to be elected for these positions, there were 8 real candidates. There ballots but three of these Messrs. T. Graham, H. Fitchet and A.

There is not a township in tho province with a better supply of that material trom which first-class councils are made and the presont council will eompare most favor- ably with any other council in the province. Our Skating Rink. The enterprising young men who at considerable risk and much labor have succeeded in preparing and fitt- ing up a SkatingRink for the accom- modation of all, deserve the coun- tenance and support'of the public in their enterprise. This is a splendid rink and got up for the accomioda tion of all, especially for the young folks of this and the surrounding municipalities. They have thus furnished an opportunity to ull of enjoying the most healthful and in- vigorating exercise during the cold season a means of proper and agree. -|able enjoyment especially for the soung men and fair daughters of the whole neighborhood. The Rink is finely lighted up every evening (Sun- days excepted) thus affording an opportunity for pleasing and health- ful recreation invigorating to both body and mind when the business of the day is over, The strictest order is maintained, the proprietors will under no circumstances allow any approach to impropriety of any kind so that while all are welcome the slightest attempt at disorder or impropriety would be suppressed at once or the party expelled; even were the proprietors not to interfere the young mon themselves would at once crush out any attempt atim propriety, so that no one either male or female need fear annoyance of any kind. The energy and enterprise of the proprietors deserve recogni- tion and parties should patronize the rink; the season ticket is only $1. In this connection we cannot re- frain from alluding to the follow ing paragraph clipped from Standard of lust weck and Lin' us. " After the grand masquerade and skating carnival, the kitchen mechanics, who con- stituted the greater portion of the fair sex, cut a sorry figure next morning in effecting an entrance, through the back window to their respective place of abode, and not a few of the other inmutes were disgusted thereat," Is it possible to conceive of a more dastardly milignant attempt to in- jure the prospects of the proprietors of therink by means the most con- tomptable, an attack on tbe charact- ers of the young men and yourg women who attended the opening night. of this locality will compare most favorably in point of honor, intelli- gence and general bearing with any class of young men any where else in the province and the young men who attended on the opening nigby were just such 2s any community might feel proud of. The partics had done nothing for which they could be assailed, but a wretched subterfuge, false as perdition, is bad rccoursv to in order to got a slap at the proprietors over the backs of those who attended. Could there possibly be a more treacherousslap aimed at the prospects of any enterprise ? Ilere is your Skating Rink with the young men and "Kitchen Mechanics" hov ering round it till four in the morn- ing, then sneaking home when the "Kitchen Mechanics" must "crawl in by a back window." Fortunately there is not a word of truth in the the infamous slander. Were it even partially true it would te damning alike to the characters of the young men and of those whom the Standard anics.' 1f there were even n foan~ contest the election and virtually, the | As a whole the young "men. is Pleased to stlye "Kitchen Moch- would not Port Perry be a precious parterre for rearing either young men or young women, who would wish to bring in children or send young men or young women into a locality where such habits are toler ated? The slander is a sweeping one, is not confined to the "Kitchen Mechanics" but it is a direct and in- tamoas libel on the morality of the households where the "crawling-in- by-a- back-window" process is tol- erated or even possible. But fortunately for all concerned the libellous Standard paragraph is a base fabrication from beginning to end and is 48 malicious as it is false. Wo are in a position to know that the young men who wero present at the opening of the rink would do credit to any community or gather- ing and that there were only two ladies present und these were such as any company might feel proud of. The manifest aim of the Standard 1s to vont his spleen on the proprietors of the rink, and rather than be de- prived of the malignant pleasure he will sacrifice every principle of truth and honor, and assassin like stab at the reputation of our young men and fair davghters and tread over their prostrate reputations to get at the object of his malice. But who are they referred to in the contemptuous phrase * Kitchen Mechanics" ? They constitute one of tho most deserving, industrious and useful classos of the female portion of the community, of whom we havo reason to feel proud and who so far from being maligned, in. sulted and dubbed with insolent epithets are worthy of the esteem | and regard of the whole people. If our worthy girls were not in every respect superior to their reviler thoy would sharply resent the base slander attempted to be cast on their fair names by tho Standard scribbler What sort of mechanics were they whom the Standard iately imported into the village, or if not imported, at least domiciled and nourished in a quondam parsonage ? We would be recreant to our trusi as public journalists were we to allow to pass unchallenged so foul a slander' on_ the fair fume of our young men, fair daughters and the family circles. A Disastrous Year. The United Kingdom was unusu- ally prolific in business failures dur- ing the past year, there being no fewer than 48 every day on an average during the year. And if Earl Derby is good authority the prospects for 1879 are no better than the experience of 1878; he recom- mends emigration on a most exten- sive scale as the only hope of the the British workman. Such connscl is by no means cheerifig, but it is honest and the sooner ihe worst is known the better for all concerned. Lengthening the hours of labor and shortening the pay of the work- men are trump cards with employ. ers and the workmen are preparing for 'a stubborn resistance and cer tainly the outlook is dark cnough. To add to the commercial gloom some recent heavy failures are announced and tho. stock market has received a fearful shock in the failure of another Bank with liabil- ities at $5,000.000. The startling news of the failure of the Cornish Bank came floating over the Atlan ti- cable on Saturdey last. Much stress will result from this addi- aonal failure. I'he Afghan steeple chasesill con- inues, the Afghans still proving .chemselves _.he better runners.-- According to British authority the Britishers can't keep in sight of their enemies. But like all other war news little reliance is to be placed on the scraps received from headquarters, especially where--as in the present case, only one side can be heard from and every dis- patch sent by corespondents must be submitted to or dictated by the Officer in command. Every dis- patch so far has been couched in the langunge of the noble Roman, veni, vidi, but minus the wici, for he has not, been able to catch them. The Afghan chief has packed up his treasures and is off with them no one knows whether. The fighting men have kept out of the way and the non-combitants--the women and children wisely refrain from resist ing the invaders.

The last session of the second and last parliament of the Mowat regime commences to-day --pursnant to notice--and of all the jury system they have already given it more stab. Of course lots of crocadile tears will be shed, they will sit in sackcloth and ashes mourning the frailty of human nature and its tendency to follow bad example and a large share of the blame will be charged to the bad example of the defunct than one severe kenzie & Co. Plausible Casey will make a spread with a view to palm off on the provi a ial sham if possible to tide the Government over the breakers.-- Another manifestation of Govermental death hed repentanee will most likely be the re- linquishment for the prescnt session of their iniquitous "salary grab," Of course it would only be for one session if they relin. quish it, for give them a new lease of power and they will at once return to their wallow. dato) Annual School Meeting. The Port Perry Annual School Meeting was held in the town hall on Wednesday 8th considers that the audit should have been printed and circulated amongst the ratepay- ers some time previous . to or at the meeting. It must be obvious to all that the taxes for the maintenance of the schools form a very large item and the taxpayers cannot be blamed if they do feela little curious to know what is done with all the mouey expended on our schools. He is glad to sce so many present on an occasion of +o much importance, It has been noised around that more is being expended on our school than is necessary and he regards this as a suitable opportunity for having the matter fairly and fully discussed, what he wanted to know was whether the amount demanded by the school trustees was really y for the of the school in its most efheient state or whether a less amount would not suffice to run the concern in its full efficiency. He for one would not consent to bave the ex. ing in the mire of Some other conciliatory measures--as make Lelieves--will be pressed on to an interest- ing stage and left there with the promise that if' they are sent back these will cup «f iniquity of the Mowat Government is full to overflowing and the electorate will show their disapprobation in the most unmistakable manner when the opportunity presents itself, So S---- Well Done Shirley. The opening day of th the New Year was one of unusual interest amongst the good folks of Shirley and neighborhood, the family of John Stonehouse, Esq, one of the most deservedly esteemed families in the province was almost carried off on New Year's Day. -- This is admittedly one of the most intelligent, exemplary and deserving famil- ies ia the province and much intercst is manifested in their welfare, and intelligent young men of highly re.
