The sisters wished two of their num- "#o qualify as teachers and thought that the board of education might grant them the privilege of at tending the public school! classes. This was a month ago, and the request was relérred to the madagement com- mittee for report, a motion of J. D. Thompson to grant the request being defeated. Last evening the manage; ment committee recommended that the reported be not granted. It was moved in amendment by Mr. Godwin, 'seconded by Prof. Macgilli- vray that the request be granted the sisters, visits to be under the direc- tion of the inspector. Mr. Godwin said there was no rea son why the sisters should not be yiv- en permission to attend the kinder gartens. They would not disturb the classes any more than the pedagogy teachers in-training. Dr. Richardson, chairman of the management committee om being asked for information, stated that the ob- ject of 'the two sisters was to qualify for teachers at the July examinations. As the board had not taken action a month ago, the sisters came to the! conclusion that the two of their num- ber could not get up the nee ssary work in the limited time now at their disrosal. In view of that the commit- tee decided to report as it had done, Mr. Craig stated that he had always been treated liberally by olies, and could see no objection granting the request. would vote that way. Daniel Reeves said he hoped to see the day when separate and public schools would become a great na- tional school. Cut away prejudice And bigotry, he said. If the HKoman Catholics were not liberal, Mr. Reeves «aid the Protestants should take the lead in the matter. Mr. Godwin pointed out that the public schools were not Protestant schools. I'hev were public schools and open to children of all religions. The vote on Mr. Godwin's gmend- ment was then taken and resulted : Yeas --Messrs, Craig, Godwin, Mac- gillivray, Medley, Reeves, Thompson, Gibson. --T7. Navs-- Messrs. Martin, Anglin, Chown, Lambert, Marshall, Meek, Mclean, Renton, Richardson, Walkem --10. Dr. Gibson Retires. Then followed Dr. Gibson's resigna- tion. In resigning his position as a member of the board Dr. Gibson made this statement : "Members, | hope, wil pardon the narrowness of my mind which will not permit me to remain longer a member body which treats with discour- tesy 5 communication addressed to that body in most courteous and re- spectiul language. | feel, sirs, that i could no longer serve on its commit- tees, nor attend at its general meet- ings, remembering the course that has been pursued by this body in the matter just under consideration." The chairman didn't want to receive the resignation, but Dr. Gibson press- ed it, saying that he wouldn't remain a mbmber of the board longer. The hoard could forward his resignation to the city council. Sins sisters' ne . of a Charged With Discourtesy. Dy. uibson strongly opposed the management committee s recommenda- tion. He held that the request of the sisters should have been granted a mputh ago when it was made, it was a simple. request, and' there was no good ground for réfusing it. He charged the board with discourtesy in not acceding to the request at the meeting at which the communication wus read. A decisive answer should have been given. br. Gibson declared that if the supporters of the separate schools were in the majority, possess. ing all the schools now possessed Ly those supporting public schools, and possessing facilities for kindergarten msthuction, and an enlightened board of education; and if a lew teachers of the public schools sunt a communica- tion to the board for pernfission for two of their number to atiend as teachers in-trafming or visors, the request would have been granted at once. Prof. Macgillivray said that at the! last regular meeting, he voted to re- fer the matter to the management committee, because he thought the committee would meet at once and report back at a special meeting of the board. Now, he wished to go on record as being in favor of the sis de Wren . ters' request. He ridiculed some of the Rev. C. A.

Addresses were also given by the president of the association, kl mer Davis, who occupied the char, K. E. Meclelland, Ald., Harty and Mi chael Sullivan. Elmer Davis referred to the short space of time between now and elec tion day, and stated that the first duty should be the looking after of the registration. He urged that this be given every attemtion, in order that every vote might be polled. The registration booths would Le opened next week, and everyone should work. In the present election the circum- stances were different from the last election four years ago. At that time the Ross government was in power, and the other side did everything pos- sible to put the government aside. The liberal party had to hear the burden of all the criticism, while the other party had: nothing to bear. However, things were different. Mr. Dyvis then went on to speak of some of Mr. Whitney's pre-election promises, He referred to the scheme for cheapy/power to the province asa whole, 'he speaker wished to be fair, and would say that this question was a very large one, and one that could not be dealt with in a day, but he would say that during four yeas, Mr. Whitney had 'had a fair opportun ity of doing something, It was only fair that there should be some -con- crete evidence forthcoming, but this was lacking. Cheap school Looks had also been promised. The Whitney gov ernment would say that the ccst of books had been reduced a little. The cost had been put down to some ex tent, but this was because the govern ment was disposing of an old stock, When the election was over, there would another change, and per- haps a still higher price would "he sked, for the books. The Ross government had been se verely criticized for its expénditure of money. It was claimed that there was extravagance with the people's money, and this would be reduced when the Whitney government was placed in power. And what was the state of affairs after the four years of servive? In that time the expenditure had Leen nearly doubled, the amount had leon in¢reased by several millions. I'he speaker referred to the discov. ery of the Cobalt, during the closing years of the Ross administration, and for which 'the Whitney government claimed all the credié. For the proper development of the country, the Ross government decided that a railway should be built from" North Bay to the Hudson's Bay, amd such a plan was proposed in the legislature. This plan was opposed 'by the oppogition, on the ground that it was tok the benefit of party friends, who were con tractors. However, the scheme was passed, and it was in/the opening up of this new road. that silver had heen discovered. The speaker then referred to the *'La Rose incident," which has beer much discussed of late, This arose over the claim made by Messer; ('Brien and La Rose, and the grant ing of $130,000 to Mr. ba Ewnse, a. re lative of Mr. Cochrane by the Whitney government. The matter hed bern tled by a commission appointed the Ross governmunt, but Mr Rose claimed that he had been unfair Iv treated, in the settlement, and this sum mentioned had been Liven to the La Ros: syndicate, by the Whitney government to compensate them for what they considered had been an un- fair decision. The question had ben settled before, and the had no right to throw awey the peo- rle's money in this way. It wes just like making the syndicate a present of this mopey. As minister of crown lands, Mr. MacKay abided by the de cision of the commi-gion which had made careful examination of the case, and which was looked upon as a most favorable award under all the evi dence. In his cloking remarks, Mr. Davi: urged all thd) membe's to do their share ofthe Work. Liberalism he said, had established a great record in Kingston, and this record could casi Iv be kept up by continued hard work, ""We are all proud of our candidate," said Mr. Davis. "He is a man who has of his time and be set by La government With him, Kingston al has the first congderation, in this coming election rate upon us individually. Po not be willing to stand aside and let the exe cutive do all the werk. There is work for all: fil the work, and emrry it out." 'Mr. Pense was then called upon, and was greeted with rousing cheers. He said that his canvas amone the voters in Kingston, had been most satisfac tory., This was the fifth trip he had made around ihe city, in this line of usin, he was well able to judge the situation.
