That religious and moral instruc- tion will eventually form part of the . regular gurriculum of all public schools is the opinion of many prom- inent members of the Ontario Boards ~of Education and the clergy. Dr. ohn Seath, who, under instructions rom the department of education, has * lately been canvassing the opinions of - members of the various denomina- tions regarding the introduction of moral and religious instruction into the public schools, has made a report "in which the scheme is divided into three departments--instruction in de- nominational doctrine, instruction in bible knowledge and systematic train- ing. in morality. Dr. Seath's scheme, which will not interfere with the re- lar work of the schools; will be in the hands of special instructors who will combine with the literary and his- torical study whatever doctrinal mat- ters it is deemed advisable to take up. It is recognized by many that to place the subject on the school curri- um would be to cause dissension among the various sects, and this is the chief objection to the scheme, Some of the ministers and clergymen and school trustees have expressed their opinions as follows: Rev. T. W. Savary--The proposal to, as I understand it from a recent newspaper article, &xamine in public schools our religious instruction, [ should agree with. Denominationally . 1 believe Protestant people should and do agree on the fundamentals of Christianity. - We already have, to a certain extent; bible reading in the classes, Rev. Alfred Brown--While I have not yet gone into the question to any . degree, the general principles com- mend themselves to me, and I am dis- posed to at once endorse the scheme to that extent. School Trustee James ' Craig--Tn my opinion discord would assuredly result should this scheme of religious instruction, or any one similar, be in- troduced into the public schools. The effect of it in classes where the pu- pils have been reared in families of different denominations, and *different religions (for there are many Jewish children) would inevitably Be unde- sirable. I agree with bible reading in all schools and good moral influences around the children. The Sunday school and the home are * where ligious instruction should be given Trustee W. H. Macnee --Yes, I be- lieve that something should be done in this matter of religious instruction in the public schools. Of course, in this the Sunday schools and the home have the special opportunity, but in the case of the latter, are the parents discharging this responsibility? I be- lieve, on the whole, the answer is No. However, many points require care- ful consideration, particularly that of "denomination" instruction. ~ Trustee Thomas Mills--I would not care to express myself on the matter # at this time, without further thought "upon 'it. This question of religious and moral in fon. in the «schools requires careful treatment. Rev. J. W. McIntosh--I am emphati cally in" favor and consider that it is essential to the preservation and cul- ture of the ideals handed down to us by she founders of Canada, that the rising generation should be acquainted with the scriptures on which these ideals rest, ! Rev. F, G. Robinson--I am greatly ain favor of teaching the scripture in | schools with proper text books, com- petent teachers, and examinations on re scripture, Without commentation by the temners the divided condition of Protestantisin it is in my mind: impossible 10 y Study into the' school. 1 unless it might be the simple reading o TEL ST Wh that in the schools the making of citizens was the desired goal; that it was our duty "fo build up in the school pu- pils a er, strong, true, vigor ous, intelligent and patriotic." 1 think so still. The teachers of King: ston, stand for the truest and best in life and can breathe into the child: ren the verv spirit of morality, in: dustry and frugality. False impres: sions of life should be taught out of the children. home should do its share in moral teaching and char- acker building, but unfortunately it does not, hence the one-sided fight of the teacher agninst baneful influen- ces outside. I am comvinced that the education that will tell in the life of the country must be grounded in mor- al force and gemuine worth. Studv out of books will not do this as ef: fectively as though the teacher in- structed his pupils incidentally and net pri ily. Training the pupils for helpful service should be the aim of all Boards of Fducation and of all teachers: teach the gospel of ser- vice, of rightness, of morality, by precept and example. R. Meck--Dr. Seath proposes, in his plan of religious study, the one thing necessary to give effect to the plan of study adopted by the Board of Pducation in Kingston. There has been study, but no examinations. The Seath scheme' requires religions train- ing in the home and Sunday school.

Mr. Barnes, though oniy forty-three years of age, had been a great sufferer Seven years ago his disease was diag- nosed as diabetis and, although the best medical skill was employed, and he was faithfully nursed and cared for by his de- voted wife the doctor could hold out no hope of his ultimate re covery. Manfully he bore his suffer- ings and hopefully availed himeel! of every remedy recommended by his numerous friends, but to. nc avail and finaly with his trust in the Saviour, to whom hes had ever turn- gd. he succumbed andl looked forward with Christian faith and' fortitude to the end.

Eigen Rp THE --- 3 3 The Prince of Wales Enjoys Only the Life of a Country Gentleman. The Prince of Wales, George V. | that is to be, has no taste 'innate or acquired Yor 'sovereignty. He is less thn his grand. closure at Ascot or Epsom or Don: caster. The prince is one of the best shots in England, keen to follow the rouse across the moor or at the stalk. in Scotland. The Kin has an amiable liking and a practice familiarity with the arts~music, the drama, painting, - seulpture, letters, The prince is indifferent to all these things. They do not interest him; he cannot make them interest him. The King has a kind of instinctive apti- tude for thé formalities of sovereignty; now that the prince has begun to ex- arcise some of them he had needed se. dulous coaching. The King's tact, the King's talents for sovereignty, the King's genuine capaeity for constitu- tional monarchy have not descended 0 his son. The King's traits are warm- ly outlined in his life, and they are clearly in play wherever and when ever he is in close contact with his subjects. . Many of them are the aris. tocratic traits that in sovereigns, in their lighter relations with their peo- ple, so commend them to a democra- tic community. The prince lacks such distinctions, and he is outwardly so cold 'of temperament that he seems distant and indifferent when it is the least of his wishes so to be. England is conventionally "loyal" to the Prince of Wales. It holds the King in an affectionate regard that makes "loyal" seem an academic adjective. His Rescue. Before the erection of the pier at the Castle Rock passengers from Dumbarton, Scotland, had to be con- | veyed down the Leven to: the Clyde stearhers by a ferryboat, rowed by two sturdy and generally elderly ferry- men. On one occasion an English commercial traveler had eeated him- self on the gunwale at the stern. One of the-old ferrymen, aware of the dan- ger to any one so placed when the rope of the steamer should be attach- ed to the bow of the boat, took acca- siol to warn the man of his danger. "Noo, my man, come down aff that or ye'll coup over." The traveler replied by telling him to mind his own business and trust him to take care of himself. "Weel," said the ferryman, "mind I've telt ye. As sure as ye're sittin' there ye'll coup over." No sooner had rope been soups and gravies.

However, being in the water, it be- hooved that every effort should be made to rescue him. So the ferryman made a grab at what seemed the hair of his head, when a wig came away. Throwipg this impatiently into the boat, he made a grip at the collar of his shirt, when the front came away. Casting this from him with still greater -soorn, he shouted to his com- panion: "Tammas, come and help save as muckle o' this man as ye can, for he's comin' awa' in bits!" Wet and Dry Moons. There is an old superstitution, which dies hard, that the position of the horns of the new moon tells what the weather will be; if the horns of the crescent are on the same level, it will hold water ,and hence it is dry moon; but if it is tipped up, then the water will run out, and 'it'is a wet moon. One thing has helped keep this be- lief alive; the moon is "dry™ in the part of the spring that is usually fair, while 'it is "'wet'. during the season of autumn rains, If this were a sure sign of the wea- ther we could have our predictions years in advance, for an astronomer can predict the exact position of the moon at any time in the future. The cause for the different positions of the crescent is simple: The moon is south of the sun in the autumn and north of it in spring. The crescent is formed by the light of the sun fall ing on the moon, and the horns are naturally in a line perpendicular to the direction of the sun from the moon. That is all there is to it.
