BOWMANVILLE, FEB. THB Dominion voters' lists will be re· viaed this year. TnEn.& ia a rumor afloat that the Do· minion House will be dissolved after this 11esaion of Pnliament and an appeal ruade to tbe country. Tli:e Yotttig Liberal Club, of Toronto, have decided in favor of having but one official lani;uage in the country-that language the Engli 1h. Mn · .ToBN DRYDEN will introduce a Bill to amend the Act · imposing a tax double the present one on dogs. Good act-five-sixths of the dogs are nuisances. THE new poahge regulations will pro· vide for an increase in the weight of letter under the three cent rate from a half to one ounce, the same as in the United State.. WINNIPEG ia without a Conservative paper, th!! Call having been bought by the Free Presa Co. The Dominion Government anbsidiii;ed the Ca.ll to the amount of $2,856 last year, too. PUBLIO S CHOOL SUPPORT. No departmen~ of tho legislative ma· chinery i1 of greater interest to the people of Ontario tha.n is that h1'~ing to do with our P11blio School system. The principle ~hat every child has a claim on the state ~or auch an educ11.tion as shall fit him to become an intelli~ent citizen is conceded by all, but we save not yet devised a plan by which the cost of this education can be equally diltributed over thti property of the country. While Ontario was yet uncleared in any atriot sense of the term our municipal system took form, dividing up the country Into counties and towaallips-immediately on this came our educational eystem with its net-work of Public School eectioDB. It is not difficult to understand that the1e sections, even at the time <!lf their first formation, from a variety of causes, would of necessity be unequal both in area and value. As time advanced and the country became cleared and cultivated the difficultv aria· iog from unequal 1ections became greater, until now it is recognized a11 one of the mos~ objectionable features of the system. The grants from the Government in aid ' of our Public Schools have all along been distributed with a. view to encourage regularity of attendance. That they have had any effect on ·the attendance may fiµrly be questioned, but unfortunately the method of distributinf( these grants haa added very materi&lly to the difficulty above referred to, as the Government aid almost invariably goes to assist the trustees of large and prosperous sections rather than to assist those of small and poor sections. The· two evils have long been reeognized and regretted by the thinking part oft.he eomm·unity, but how to overcome them has th.is far been a problem that no one has undertaken to aolve. The Ontario Government some three _years ago took a step in the direction of a solution by enactiag that townahi.P councils may raise by a uniform rate on the properly of the municipality $100 towards paying the salary of each head teacher and $50 for each assistant. Small as thi11 promise is there has been a hesitation iu adopting it, Manvers being tho only township in this county that has yet taken advantage of the clause. The l!lyatem of township boa.i:ds is not likely to come into general favor as there il!I no disposition on the part of our people to give up the local control of their echools. We have just perused a paper written by our Pubiic School Inspector, Dr. W. E . Tilley, and read before the Ontario Teachers' Association in Toronto, la1t. August, w.h ich though not professing to deal with this question, contains some valuable hints along that line, au extract from which we intend publishing as soon ff' space permits, p J L Parsons Rev J W Patterson George Pollard John Penfound The Ottawa correspondent of the Ham· Rd T Philp ilton Times in referring to the opening of GREAT ANNUAL ASSEMBLY oil FRIENDS AND Eli Pa~coe li,red Parker Ed Pinder the Dominion Parliament says:-.l\1r.
