One of those: chiefly responsible for the petitions circulated gmong the public school ratepayers for the ro establishment of the fifth class in the schools, declares that everyone on his list was informed concerning the ex- pense that might be attached to the class, and they all knew what they were signing. A few city officials, why had signed, afterwards withdrew their names. As to the extra expense, the gentle- man in question declares "there need be none. He points out that for some thwe past, J. G. Elliott, a member of the Board of Ediication, has been en- deavoring to get the board to de crease the number of public school teachers. as the number of pupils in some clasées does not warrant so manv ing employed. Now, the gentloman savs, there are ? soveral teachers résignine. Lot the board carry out Mr. Elliott's plan hy de- creasing the teaching staff by two. Then a fifth class teacher can be en- gaged at no extra expense. It was last vear that Mr. Elliott showed wp the attendance in the pub- lie schools. The management -commit- tee of that year refused to double up classes but did reduce the staff by one 'tenchor. This vear Mr. Elliott has not. discussed! attendance at the board. If the gentleman who talks above is sincere he will find a ready helper in Mr. Elliott - to reduce the staff, not, however, to bring in a fifth class, but to save to the city treasury the un: necessary cost which he says is being paid for teachers. that are really not neoded. The fifth class is not a neces- sity, as the collegiate can meet «all the needs and ever so much more ade- avately than. can be dome in the pub- lic schools. QUIET CHURCH WEDDING. Miss M. E.

Ottawa, June -8.--The bill respecting, the Lord's day, as amended by the special committee, has been reprinted, and it is now possible to gather a clearer conception of the provisions than was possible in the first rough draft. The exemption clause is of in terest to many callings and induftries, but there is one extraordinary section, No. 4, the full effect of which has not heretofore been grasped. It provides among 'other things that a domestic servant who is employed on Sundgy is to have a full day off during the en suing" week. It, therefore; means cold dinners on the Sabbath, unless house- hold duties are to he suspended for a complete day later on in the week.

A statue of him stands in front of the railway station at Stoke-on-Trent. A few days ago it was found bedecked with blue ribbons. Much curiosity arose as to why it was so decorated and by whom. In the course of the day the explanation was forthcoming. Josiah (. Wedge- wood, the great-great-grandson of the celebrated inventor, was elected meni. ber of parliament for the neighboring town of Newcastle-under-Lyne. Being afterward in Stoke he conceived the idea of "decorating his notable an- cestor's monument in celebration of the event," He went there in the dead of night, climbed the high pedestal and the figure, and garlanded the eftigv: with blue ribbons, the liberal election colors.
