P.R. industrial department, is signi- ficant of Kingston's awakened interest in -- manufacturing. . Mr. Timmerman ! follows up every industrial movement everywhere, and identifies jt with the great corporation which he represents. In other words he sees where the bu- siness of a community and the com- pany can be mutually advanced and {acts accordingly. "It will be good mews that the King: | "ston Pipe Mill has come under the : a .of the Industry Department ol { the C.P.R. and that Mr. Timmerman deemed it important enough yesterday afternoon to look into the while, situation and lend a hand in the, clearing of it. The C.P.R. has pro- perty within the city limits which is deemed suitable for the purposes "the pipe mill, and it is very proba: ble that it will le transferred to the ! company - whose afiairs will rapidly 'take shape after tHe eligible rate payers have passed upon the by-law on Nov, 3rd. Mr. Timmerman, at a meeting ol + =the Council of the Board of Trade, edie he had been associated with one of the directors of the proposed pipe "mill, in the establishment of a large | and growing industry in Quebec, and | felt assured. that the interest of this ' gentleman in the new industry meant ! "its complete success. So far as he ' can see the outlook for the pipe mill 'here was very encoursging and the Industrial Department of the C.P.R. would do. all it could to contribute \ to ita early operation.

The Winnipeg Board of .Fducation | has emphatically rejected the qver- Itures of the Separate School Board, was presented some months ego. It will be. remembered that the legisla- ture amended the Public School Awt | might be suph co-operation between the boards as. circumstances should The petition from the Se 2801 arate School Board followed. In Winnipeg there are eight private schools in which there are 2,029 child- !{he Roman Catholic population. In Job ,4dition to supporting these schools Roman Catholic ratepayers ave sup- "the taxed and have paid taxes to port the public schools of the city, and their separate schools are taxed like .the other property off the city. Lhe cost per pupil Sn the public is $28.77, and a similar a- mount per pupil in the separate ' schools. The petitioners had "conscientious indies to the charauter of the pre- gent public schools," because they held that religious training should go hand in hand with the secular school training. The plan, therefore, was to have the separate schools remain as they are, but under the direction of 'the Public School Board, and this body to provide for the maintenance jof the separate schools out of the ! public funds. In order to defmne what was meant lw certain passages in the petition questions were asked, and these 'were 'answered by the Separate School Board. It was set out that it was 'not the intemtion to change the man- "ner in which religious instruction was given fn the separate schools; that it desire the same text books {should be used in the separate us in !the public schools; and that such a {dnion as that which was proposed in Manitoba had occurred in Nova Sco- tia and New Brunswick with satisfac tory results. The counsel of the Public School Board finally gave an opinion which made the proposed amalgamation of schools impossible. He said that the Separate School « Board had avoided answering one question--Would the teachers in the separate schools, un- 'der the Public Svhool Act, wear the garb or costumes of clerical orders ot sisterhoods ? The public schools must be entirely non-sectarian. In Nova Scotia and New Brunswick the teachers of the separate schools may wear the garb of their orders, by a spacial arrangement, and without af- fecting the situation in Manitoba. The i is making living cheaper in the U nited| costumes - are "symbolic of one church, States, bit not in Canada. That is! and it makes the wearers of them sec- the | point which the Canadian minie- | tarian and ineligible as teachers, and ters must not overlook. Livifig is not | this reason, (School Act), "Em- cheaper in Canada, and the démand {bloms o of a denominational character 'that it shall be made cheaper comes from 'a rapidly increasing number 'of | consumers and bread winners. HE'S DOWN AND OUT. Mr. Sulzer wanted to open fire upon Dsus 'ammany Hall during his impeach- _ment, but was restrained and prevent. 'od by his counsel. Now he is occupy: ,ing many columns oi the New York Ee 'papers while he details his experiences "with Mr. Murphy, the head of Tam: . many Hall. Mr.. Sulzer shows that 'upon his election as governor of New Divyork he was waited on by Mr. Mur phy, who realized that he was in debt raapd wanted to give him enough mon: Lagy' to wipe out all his indebtedness and put him in easy circumstances. §=~"Mr. Sulzer knew what that meani-- "the putting of himseli in the hands control of the master politician, | he declined all help. Then. began, C-- continued all "through his short. #d boisterous term of office the calls Mr. Murphy for all sorts of fa yours, for the surrender of tho govern or with regard to public appoint: meats, for his complete abnegation.. > "Tammany chief began persuasive | ly, but gradually became threatening, individual and the collosal political | power which Tammany represented, aud the defeat of the governor fol 'lowed in due time! "The story of Mr. Sulzer reads like the revelation of . a truthful man--o man who has suffered for his contact With Tammany Hall and his partici | pation in its wohemes. He gives times and places where Mr. Mu i plaze_n attempted to bulldoze him, : shall 'not be exhibited in a { school during the regulnr hours." And thus the matter rests. public school There can be no umion of vohools in Manito-' {ba unless the evidences of discrimina- | tion between them emtirely disappear, and the separate school supporters ane not prepared apparently for an obli- teration; of all that makes their schools distinctive from the public schools.
