P Ee i undesirables i £ £5 the time for |op 4o ig He Eitsi Hi " {schools as Queen's College has made 3 3 in-training. Queen's felt that it was being put at a decided disadvantage, and had to undertake the burden of the School of Pedagogy. "Ht is a great pit however, that the education department has been so arbitrary in its demands. Tt may be correct in the assumption that the institute staff, in its entirety, should work reasonably. Its action in this case has been coldly and exaspera- i _ that it repre- tem the fact remains that it has been making its mistakes, and that it will be held to account for them. It may because there was hardly time in which to perfect plans for the present term, but it forced the issue by pre- suming to do pedagogical work in Toronto before it was really ready, and by a resort to the existing resort to them here. In Toronto there were more teach- pick from. and less danger of friction. In Kingston thery is only the ono. institute; and it has been sub- mitted to a hutkied criticiem and more hurtied judgment. Time will de monstrate the wisdom or unwisdom of tho department in insisting upon the reorganization of the staff now. Much will depend upon the quality of the work which will be done during the next six months. For it there will be a difficulty, perhaps in securing teach- ers who will meet the standard of the department. The first consideration will be one of salary, and the citizens will see to it that it is not a local but provigeial one, that all increased lexpenses are met out of grants which the government should as prodigally hand out here as in Toronto. Eventually the institute may secure teachers who will suit everyone, in authority, and suit the taxpayers also, for if truth must be told the experience of the last few years, through the frequent changing of Rachers, has been of the most dis- heartening character.

He Committed uicide Kankakee, on Wednesday. Kankakee, Ill, Dec. 13.--R. P. Eas- ton, forty-eight years old, cashier of the State Bank of Herscher, a small town eighteen miles irom this city, committed suicide in his bank, by shooting himself in the head. Easton, who was favorably known, had been cashier of the bank since its organi- zation, and was one ol its stockhold- ers. When the recent call for the condi- tion of all state banks in Illinois was made, Easton's made one of the best reports that was sent out from this section of the state. The report showed the institution to be in ex- cellent condition. The bank is capi- talized at $250,000, and carries de- posits of $150,000. .

GANANOQUE TID: . Story of a Farmer Whose Horses Ran Away. Gananoque, Dec. 13.--The Women's Missionary Society of Grace church, held a pleasant meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Taylor, Sy- denham street, yesterday afternoon. A musi nd literury' programme was rendered and at the close refreshments were served. Inspector Anderson of Brockville, has been in town during the past conducting the examinations of the students inl the model school here.: The Ramblers hockey team of Lans- downe have reorganized and have been invited to enter into the Gananoque Hockey League, and have decided to accept the invitation. A government: inspector of bread has been in town during the past week looking up -the condition of things in the local bakeries. A well-known farmer living a few miles up the Kingston road came to town, and having business at the grist mill on Tanner street, left his team standing untied before the mill, while he went in. The team took fright .and ran away. He started at once around the other way to head them off, but two small boys climbed in the rear of the wagon, stopped the team, tumed around and went back to the mill, where they found the man had gone up King street. They headed the team for home, leaving the man to get them the best way he could. He was fortunately picked up by a neigh- hor, and arrived home shortly after his team. William Henderson of Port Huron, Mich., spent some time this week in town, having heen summongd here on -atecunt of his mother's dedth. He had been married just a few days previ- ously and was on his honeymoon when he received the sad news. W. McCullough, Belleville, is spend- ing a short time with friends in town. Miss Ruby Cotton, Hickory street, who has been spending some time with friends in Kingston, has returned home. TAILORS HANDICAPPED. Have to Pay Big Profits to Middlemen Who Import Cloths. "We say" is not so convincing as "we know." The same cloth which the Semi-Ready company buy direct from the British mills costs them $1 a yard loss than the custom tailor has to pay. The importing agents' prices are invariably 40 per cent. higher th ose paid by the Semi- Ready corhpany. "We know, because sionally to buy a few from them," said the chief buyer of Semi-Ready fabrics, who is at pre- sent" in England on his semi-annual buying trip.
