But to get back to the general prin- ciples and conditions of the problem discussed in these articles during the past- weeks. In bringing public opin ion to bear as a solid force upon any gubject, it is of the highest import ance that a programme be outlined on which people of diverse tastes and in- terests can in large measure come to- gether. The difficulty is greatest in artistic matters, because questions of taste are notoriously subjects of iscord. And yet it is perhaps not im- Sissons. " tablish certain thi : all fo ---- and certain others in regard to which there is no bopeless discord of opinion. It may be taken ior grant- ed that the vast majority of people want to have the city as attractive as possible. Now and then one comes across & conspicuous exception, a man who frankly does not care for 'looks so long as business is good, who would make every building | as cheap as possible, "art" as impractical folly. The type used to be rather common in America, but times hisve changed notably in this respect, and the charms of beauty are now generally allowed. The chief dif- ficulty just at present is the lack of a common ideal, and of a dfn and ved programme on Ww 0 tig The oy we must get the -ex- perts to work out for us (and there are now more men than ever before who are able to give competent advice on artistic matters); as to individual taste, we must learn to sacrifice some things for the sake of getting others of different likes and dislikes to co- operate heartily with us. It is im possible to make a city to suit the taste of everybody at all points; there are 00 Mm kinds of people : § (1) The indifierent, who simply don't nee. : (3) The Puritans, who care nothing for "art" but are strong on cleani ness. (3) The Bohemians, who rather pre- fer dirt as a pict ue setting for art, and detest orderliness. (4) The nature worshippers, who think that nature is your only guide, even in a city, and would make "rus in urbe" their motto. (8) The decorators, who think - nature has 10 be improved, if o with whitewash wtones and cast-iron so much that they would cut down a fine tree rather than bend a nice sidew aja yard. (7) Those who trees, so that would let themselves and their houses rot rather than molest a single (8) Those who appreciate beauty, but are cawtious of the tax rate, (9) Those who would light-heartedly mortgage everything in st for im- » wullicient gcrord for practical . poses in to the apecific to be sooght and the methods 10 be . Even those who are per sonally 'indifferent to art ought to take an interest in the work lor the sake of the community, for it must not be for tten that the coming gen- eration will have better rtunities and a wider culture in things than have been enjoyed by the major- ity of Canadians who are now adults. The self-made man takes a generous pleasure in giving his children gdvant- ages that he lacked etter schooling, better social opportimities, a richer, pleasanter life in every way. lt is not the least of such advantages to be reared in a charming city, a city to be loved and admired through life. So let us take a broad and unselfish view of the matter gnd soberly set to work to see what can be done pow and in the yemrs to come, to make Kingston as beautiful as possible, an ideal place to live in. Perhaps as easy a point as any from which to « a discussion as to what ought to done to make the city beautiful, is the gonaiteration the first impression wm upon - t visitor. For the effect of a first im- pression is rarely effaced. Travellers wisely plan their approaches to fam: ous cities 50 a8 to have their beauties flash at once upon the sight. The for: eigner who sails up New York bay will forgive much of the ugliness he will see later for the sake of that first view, while no one who has approach: ed a city on the seamy side, which evil precedents have turned toward the railways, can carry away an un mixed impression of beauty. Tumble down shanties, hen-houses, masses of factory buildings and waste lund along the railways make the scene simply hideous. Polite society bas not only moved away from the track steeli, but is quite careless of the feel: ings of visitors. It all dates back to the early days of the railroads, vhen their economic advantage so over shadowed everything else that no thought was taken for the future in- terests of the city in adjusting loca- tions, und the country has been grow- ing so fast that few towns have yet had time to clean up their disreputable back yards. At the least, whatever is offensive to the eve can be done away with or screened irom view, and grateful green of nature can be culled in to heal the ugly gashes made Ly man. The question of approaches 10 a city is a thing to be kept in mind, and a thing on which substantial agreement ought not to be difficult to obtain. In part the problem is very difficult, yet the expenditure of a4 mo- dest sum of money would bring a very substantial betterment. But to obtain results worth while there must be a carefully laid and consistent plan. The approaches to a city ought to be worked out as thought- fully as the approaches to a private estate or a great exposition, and when the time comes the problem should he put | into the hands of ex- perts. It ought to no im ible thing to make the way in -- of a city as attractive as the city itself. That first im jon, so sasily form- ed, so indelible, is worth tinting. (To be continued.)

New York, May 2--Miss Rosalie Coe Campbell has recently reached the age of eighteen, and ber mother, Mrs. Emeline F. Parsons, says ance of $6,000 a year is mot ample to propurly maintain her from now om rs. Parsons has therefore taken pro- ceedings in the supreme court to have her deughter"s allowance increased to $9000 a year. The allowance is to come from the young woman's in come, which at present is about $10. 000 annually. Mise Campbell resides with her mo- ther at Bar Harbor, Me. Most of her estate is in the control of the United States trust company, as guardians. Some years age $197 688 was put to the credit of the girl in the company. and since then thy accumulations have increased the amount to SX, 275, Miss Campbell is also entitles] under the will of her late father, Richard L.

By the provision of the will of her grandfather, Charles A. Coe, she will receive $250,000 when her mother dies and she bas a contingent interest in other property. Mrs. Parsons says her daughter has attained an wi it is proper and to bring, her out into sbei- ety; and 16 meet the expense she asks for an increased allowance. SCHOOL BOOKS. A Bit of Information the Tories Won't Cite. A good deal is being said just now about the cost of the text books used in our public schools. It is safe to say, however, that there is ome hit of information with regard thereto that the opposition will not cite, viz: the report of the school book arbitration which was appointed in 180, and con- sisted of James Bain, librarian of the Toronto public library, representing the government; Richa Brown, wholesale book manufacturer, repre- senting the book manufacturers, and [dee Morgan. After a session of urteen days and examination of twenty-one witnesses, the arbitrators reported against 5 reduction:in price of the text hooks used in the public and high schools, with the exception of one, viz.: the high school drawing course. The weduction in this case recommended was from 20 cents per copy to 15 cents. The following ex- tract from the report of the arbitra: tors is worthy of note : An examination into the price charged in the United States for school books almost identical with those forming the subject of this re ference, has satisfied us that the prices of Canadian school hooks are far below the prices obtmined in the United States, and that the education department of Ontario has exercised extreme care in dealing with each work a8 to the retail price thereof, so that the public bas obtained the books at lower pricex than could have been obtained under any other system than the system of authorization now adopted by the department, and this system, while it fully protects the lic and wecures low -pwiced school ks, appears to be reasonably fair to the publisher, The arbitrators proved their state ments by comparisons of prices be tween American and Ontario school books. The schoolbook commission ap winted gt a later date made a simi sr report. : The vernment has steadily re duced the number of tewt hooks un- til now there in only one text book in each course, it has made as few changes a8 possible in the text books themselves, and it has sought to en courage our own teachers to under take the aothorship of all school books. The result of its efforts to lessen the cost is shown by the fact whereas in 1875 it required 24 text books at 4 cost of $10.53 to com- plete the public school course it can now be completed with almost one third the anmber of books at a cost of vomething like ¥5.
