Fulton, overseas fruit representative, advises that prospects for Ontario apples in Great Britain for the balance of the season are far from encouraging, although a reaction is expected, after the deplorable market conditions of February, as common storage apples from Nova Scotia and English sources are now practically finished. In order to get values up to remunerative levels before the season finishes in about three weeks' time, it will require shipments of outstanding quality and condition •to regain confidence of the buyers. Owing to the slump in prices and the arrival of apples in an unattractive condition, the trade have lost interest in the 'business as they see no hope of recovery with present supplies. Everyone feels that it will Ottawa, March 27th.--John Buchan, prominent British novelist and writer, and member of Parliament has been appointed next Governor-General of Canada, it was announced here to-day by Sir George Perley, Acting Prime Minister. Mr. Buchan will succeed the Earl of Bessborough whose term of office here expires next fall. take fresh apples to stimulate business, with the result that attention is now being directed to the- Australasian season opening up towards, the end of March, when the first steamers are expected to arrive.

E. A. CONVENTION Without a doubt the most important annual convention held in Canada is the meeting of the Ontario Educational Association at Toronto during Easter week. It is a congress of professors, teachers, trainers', trustees and ratepayers with thirty departments in session simultaneously discussing questions of the utmost import to the youth and the future welfare of our nation. Not the least important body contributing to the deliberations of the association the trustees and ratepayers who directly represent the people. The trustees of this province coukl make themselves a mighty force for good were they to assemble at their own convcr/Jon in the proportion 'of one-fifth of their numbers. The coming season will be an important one and far reaching legislation may be foreshadowed as grave problems confront the department of education with regard to the rural school. The costs have been mounting yearly while at the same time attendance has been falling off and those in authority are casting about for relief and it may be that a larger union thain the present section or district plan may be under consideration. There are in Ontario 1 school with an attendance of 1; 10 with 2; 19 with 3; 42 with 4; 57 with 5; 88 with 6; 101 with 7; 133 with 8; 145 with 9; 152 with 10; 1,066 with 11-15; 1,113 with 16-20; 860 with 21-25; 616 with ?6-30; 252 with 31-35; 352 with 31-35; 175 with 36-40; and 113 with over 40. In some other sections the trustees have realized the futility of keeping going for one or two pupils and have closed their school and provided transportation for the pupils to some neighbouring school. The larger school unit is looming up as topic of disicusston and school boards would be well advised to have their delegates present at the Easter convention at Toronto in April. Dr. W. G.

Robertson, chairman; H. Gale, F. Armstrong, A. Morton, H. S. Keyes, H. J. Mayhew, W. G. Grant, J. F. Wilson. Understanding that the Department of Education are considering radical changes in the educational system and its control, the following recom-mendatons in the matter were passed on motion of trustees Wilson and Mayhew: The Union High School and Public School Board of Education of Colborne recommends as follows 1. Township and County Boarde of Education. This Board recommends that the Provincial Department of Education take no steps ait present towards tin formation of Township or County Boards of Education. Considerations' of economy alone suggest that nothing of this nature be done at present. 2. Curriculum. In view of the fact that the Department of Education has announced that it ia contemplating changes in the curriculum, this Board mends that these changes do come effective until the Boards of Education throughout the Province have had an opportunity to consider and express their opinion on these changes. 4. High School Examinations. This Board recommends1 that the High School Entrance be retained under the present regulations. 4. High School Examiinatons. By a recent regulation the Department of Education has abolished all fees for high school examinations, and has extended to the Upper School iminations the regulations that have hitherto applied to Middle School examinations, that is, pupils who are awarded by their teachers a standing of 66 per cent, are passed without the necessity of wrting an examination in the subject in which the<y are thus awarded pass standing. There will therefore be fewer papers to be marked, and this will saving to the Province and to the municipality.

Admission 25c and m21-28 But there are always a number of students who wifte on paperfcj on which they have no c.'iance to pass, and' the "Province is put to the expense of examining these papers. Since the examination fee is abolished there is likely to be a greater tendency on the part of student write on papers on which they have no chance of obtaining even the r mum pass mark. This Board re* mends therefore that students who lin the opinon of the teachers are not properly prepared to try an examination, should be required to pay a fee if they write. Thus all pupils would be divided into three classes: (1) Those recommended for a pass without trying an examination. (2) Those recommended to write an examination. (3) Those recommended not to write an examination. The latter only should be required to pay a fee if they write.
