NOT LEGAL TO CLOSE. There is one aspect of 'the school question that has not been dwelt up- on--the legal aspect. Can a board close the schools legally before the date specified in the School Act? It would appear not. The law that is so emphatic in every other respect, that must be implicitely obeyed, must be observed and obeyed in this. It is true that in past years--and for spe cial reasons--the schools have closed prior to the day named in the law, but there was no authority for the proceeding and it is almost certain there would have been 3 sharp decis the board had some one its action.

The situ- ation only emphasizes the difficulties of the way, and difficulties that become the more apparent in the discussion of Sir Joseph Ward's imperial council and the British government's consulta- tive committee. Theories look nice, until they pass under critical examina- are found, in some respects, to be practically workable. Lord Selbourne does not like the proposed agreement between Canada and the United States, but, though he talks much about unity of action he has not advanced any idea on which practical men ean act. W-------------- ' SAVING CHILDREN'S TEETH. The New York Herald, on Satur- day, contained the picture of a "Pub School Children's Free Dental Clinic," a room fitted up plainly and fully, with dental chairs and all the other and necessary equipment for a dental oflice. "Three women were in charge. It seems that a nurse, Mar- jorie Clark, found many children, her rounds, who were suffering "from bad teeth, and made representations which were at once acted upon by Judge Barlow. He got into touch with those who had the means, and as a result established the free clinic, which he placed in charge of Miss Clark. She has-two dental assistants, women, and in the last year they gave 14,000 treatments to -the child- ren's teeth.

'I asked the bride if she thought she could find her husband after had married them," said Judge Newcomer, "and in reply she wrapped her arms around him and gave him. two or three good hugs. The man really does not look so small, for. his facial muscles are well developed, but when you fee of him he feels as if wind would blow him away." see VETOES NEWSPAPER LAW, Act Which Forbade Printing of Crime Stories is Annulled.

The Kingston old boys of Chicago, Toronto and Ot- tawa are coming home on Jily 29th to spend three days in the limestone city. It is expected that there will be 2,000 of them: What is the city council going to do in regard * to their entertain- ment? It is time that the ,mayor and the aldernfen got busy and made preparations for the reception B of this large contingent of Kings- ton's sons and daughters and the strangers who will be with them. So far not a thing has been done by the council, and a month of pre- paration is necessary for a worthy celebration. During the past few years the city council has done practically nothing for the old boys, be- yond having them greeted at the railway stations by a band. Last year not even a band was engaged for the greeting, and there was a good deal of unfavorable talk about the lack of a civic reception and the additional lack of entertainment on the civic holiday, On July 31st this year there should be a grand celebration by the city, and the city' council should discuss the matter at its--meeting next Monday evening and make prelimin- ary preparations. $4400000000000000s00sksarersnserersrssrerstes Cost of Old Age Pensions.
