The Advance hat been asked to aUaku i>lain to its readers the new ft'Kuialiou i our school law with re- lard t" (lit rril'f-ction of school suoiiies. as there appears to be differ- t-ice of opinion and uusund*trstaod- iiig of tl. iuatt> r among ratepa/rs. To U'xiu wo will quote sec. 1W f the j'liblic school act, which reads as follows : 10U. (1) The municipal council of every township shall Itvy ut) col- lect by afktbhimn!, nj i>n tbc taxable proprrty of the public school siippor- Ui.< of the whul* i.uhip, in the iuui.iii-r pruvidtd by thn Act, and by the municipal jnd !< Bsroutt Act*. Uie bum of $100 at least fur every public school therein in which a public school has been kept open the whole year exclusive of vacations. V in it- the public school has been kept open for six months or over, a I r< H"n tiunati' ainouut of the said sum of 1100 at haul shall b levied and colkctfd by usMbsiui'iit upon the tax- ab!r |>i-uperty of the whole township An additional sum of $50 at Ua*l shall be levied and collected in a sim- Uur manner for every assistant tea:h- r eiiKMged for the whole year, and a proportionate aruoDot if such assisunt teacher is engaged for six uiontha or over. (2) In the case of union school sections the municipal council of each municipality of which the union hchool section is composed shall levy k.n<l collect i.pnn the t&xable property of the respective municipalities the said sum in lh proportton tixcd by iLe <|uali/atiou piovided uuder action '.'.'> of this Act. (3) The municipal council of the township .-hall collect from the tax ahlf property in each section such other Hums as may be required by the ti ucti i s thereof for nchool purposes. li. . O. c. 226, s. 117. The above clause is not a new one, but has been pennitwibla since 1886. Last M ssiui it \va uuide compulsory upon municipal rniineils tu levy this rate. To make it still more plain w will give an instance of its working. For example, this section, employing two teachers, is assessed for the above I>III|>.IM flK7.41 and receives $150. Btc. No 'J, i miilimnyone teacher, is as.M , s> (1 for f l:W.!)7 und receives $100; r. i . No. 10 is uS'i'ssc'il for $44.05 and reciivcs $100, and so on.

MATTERS. was found that there had been ovoi charges in theic brauc)is,but as the officials had nothing but precedent to go by it cannot be claimed that they were guilty of boodling and pilfering, as one of the reeves insinu- ated. These clmrges, too, fsll very ihit when it is remembered that the very man who made them drew twenty dollars for acting as chair- man of two committees, which sum was an illegal payment on the part of trie county council, but one which it has been customary to make here- tofore. W think it would not be at all out of place to hve a judici al in- quiry into the working of our county council and at the same time secure a finding as to the necessity of pav- ing sncli a fl'wk of representatives as the municipalities semi-anuually t ot up to the county town.

Ii AI: hii: Mr W S.Inkster makes the following st-iteiiii-nt in your laat issue : '-Mr. I:. own next state* that he was not made ucipiuintcd with the fact that the door would be locked, the afttruiutivu of which was never stated." In his first letter he speaks of the plan to lock the door, ami im- mediately Bta'o 1 , I "was acquainted thoroughly with the whole case" an.1 stated before he was "ready to prove every statement in church or ciul court.'' His brother John stated, the Sabbath lUv Mr. H riches pave his eaplamtion of the matter in Mr. Geo. Allisttr's, ii' -u I-'. V. rij.iin, that 1 came and ac']irainteil me of the fact that the dixir would be locked. He also stated in Mr. Little's blacksmith shop, M.IV.VI !!. that he told me 1 had b< tu task the key. Any school boy will see tlnit the necessity for a key states the "alliimative," the door ia locked. Others have used the fact that 1 hud I.e. n loll all tlm as an argument to justify the course taken in locking the door, and yet "the af lirmativn" "was m.-vcr stated." Thanks Mr. Ivhtor, the truth is about known. My friend can "bury the hatchet" if he wishes. Yi.urs truly. liKV.ll. A. HKOWN. 1'armrrV Imttltatc.

Not so, however, with Mr. Thouipaon, who will probably Imvi two in the neM against him, Mr. 1 1 Latiroer and Mr. Henderson, of V. ,u 1 1. am, being spoken of as his pos- siblo opponents.
