And while discussin, and stipends, the Lampman the view that there were churches in Kingston. More than one denomination could do with less build- ings. The ones that are not needed are not the outlying ones either, he says, for these are gathering in the people who otherwise might never at- tend church, When I asked the Lampman what he thought about the personnel of the town school board, he said he agreed, with his worship the mayor that the board was a strong and representa- tive body. He was glad to see his old friend, "Bill" Godwin, chosen chair- man. "Thats just where 'Bill' should be,"" he remarked. "For nearly forty years he presided 'over school classes, and he's, therefore, used to presid- ing."" Chairman Godwin, the Lamp- man said, was a terror to the bad boys of the old Queen street school, where he whacked the evil-doers as they deserved. "It's a pity 'Bill' didn't get a chance to give the cast- ing vote on the vaccination question," added the Lampman. '"'He would have cast a good big one in favor of al- lowing all pupils back to the schools, whether they are vaccinated or not. 1 fail to see why trustees can vote to allow unhealthy pupils back without being vaccinated, and keep the healthy and stubborn ones out. All or none should have been kept out. They can) talk law for a week, but law one-two-three in the game with com- mon sense. In speaking about Ald. Kent's state- ment at the town streets' committee meeting, that the trees were not trim- med as they should be, the Lampman said the Ontario ward representative was right. If the trees on some thor- oughfares were attended to, the roads would be in better condition. On Bagot street, from West to William streets, the trees are too thick alto- gether, the Lampman says, and the roadway is always wet. He says that Ald. Kent, last year, opposed cutting down trees, but this is! essential in many portions of the city, if sufficient light is to be allowed upon them. When it is a choice betwegn light and health as opposed to landscape, the former should be chosen. The unpro- fitable. tree. should be cut down now just as readily as it was in Biblical times. --THE TOWN WATCHMAN. FROM SCIENCE HALL. The Annual Dance Will Be Held on Feb. 5th.
