The morning was given up to sectional meetings. The committee appointed last year by the public school department of the asso ciation to wait on Hon. Mr. Har- court, with reference to public school matters, submitted its report. Re- ferring to the suggestion that no certificate be granted to any one under twenty-one years of age, Mr. Harcourt expressed himself as person- ally favorable, but feared that op- position would be offered in some quarters, for SOmMe reasons, such as the increased remuneration which would be demanded, and admitted that there are times when the gov- ernment should lead public opinion, not follow it. He said that the gues- tion of model school teaching was under consideration. and that it was hoped soon to arrange so as (1) to have fewer model schools; (2) to have these well attended; (3) to extend the term to the academies' year. He was personally in favor of making Latin optiodal. As for the educational council, the minister suggested add- ing to it that the representatives elected by the O.E.A., the secretary, the president of the gssociation, chair man of the college and high school, and the public school departments, and one percon elected by each of these two departments.

Canada, Australia and New Zealand have earned the right to be consulted.

Insanity will be the plea of the defence. the The First Anglo-Japanese Treaty. London Chronicle. It will perhaps come as a surprise to many people to learn it was as long ago ue the reign of James | that the first treaty between England and Japan was drawn up and signed. In those days the East India com pany endeavored to open up trade with the island kingdom, this at tempt being fostered by a certain Capt. Saris, who received much as sistance from an English sailor nam- ed Adams, who had been wrecked on Japanese shores. The treaty was drawn up between lyevabu and Sir Thomas Smith, of the East India company. It was very generous in its stipulations, allowing the com pany to trade anywhere in the king- dom without let or hindrance, goods being admitted duty free. Other privileges were that the Eng lish should be allowed to hold lana and build houses, and Japanese sub- jects were called upon to help the strangers if they neeaed it at any time. Another important stipulation was that the traders should be al lowed ex-territorial jurisdiction, so that altogether this early treaty was more favorable to the English than others which have been signed since. Unfortunately," however, it did not re main in force long, for soon after wards the expulsion of the Jesuits togk place, and in 1616 the article al loSing the East India merchants to trade at their pleasure was abrogated, and their operations were confined to Hirado. When the final uprising against foreigners took place this carly® attempt to bring about com mercial relations between the two na- tions came to an end. A Slight Concession.
