It is understood that the School Property Committee will submit to the Board of Education two skotches of the proposed gympasium in connection with the institute. One provides ac- commodation f8r the technical depart- ment, in the basement, but well lighted, and but little under ground and the other for the gymnasium alone. Both buildings will be practi- cally of the size suggested by the edu- cation department, but the excavation for one, and difference in elevation and interior arrangement will make a dif- ference of about $3,500 in cost, or $4,- 000 as against $7,500. The difficulty is that the council has provided only 84,000, and it may be necessary to go to that body for a larger vote; the amount being raised in any event by the issue of deben- tures. without an appeal to the peo- plo. The committee should make a recommendation in order that when the question is disposed of by the board there will be but the onc act un fulfilled, namely, that of sgouring the council's aid in the financing of the The desire io provide a better room for the technical school pressing, inasmuch as the inspector of these schools has for a long time been dissatisfied with the present accommo- dation, and the government gives it an annual grant of $1,000. There is said to be some expectation aid Commission to knock out the Cataract company, in Hamilton, is not much to ite credit. The Cataract company is a local concern, and the people are to be excused for favouring it. Oh, there is no monopoly more heartless than that of a government, apparently. The education department--in fixing the entrance examinations for June 23rd, and the matriculation examina- tions, junior and senior, later--should have decided to make the vaca ton begin on June 15th. These nual examinations, by the way, are becoming more and more disturbing in the schools. : an- Here is the state superintendent of insurance for New York advising a re- duction in the bank interest.
