Every Class Room Occupied and Some Are Not Fit For Use--A New School Building of Ten Rooms is much Needed. Inspector Stuart says that, there is urgent need dor more school accom- | modation. In his annual report to the Board af [Bducation he writes: | "Four years ago the board adopted {a programme of school construction which included the addition of four i rooms to Central school and one of | eight rooms to Victoria school. The { addition to Central sehool was de- {ferred pending the completion of Vie- toria school. Next wear the great wa» began, and that was judged a { Recessary Teason for making a fur- | ther 'postponement. Since then the public school enrolment has-increas- ed by over 350, and at the present time every class-room is occupied, in- cluding some that "are not fit for school use. The present average { school enrolment per teacher is 47 | and the average daily attendance per teacher 4 As far as circumstances permit classes are equalized, even though this involves the attendance of children from considerable dist- ances. Tt is impossible to 'maintain a perfect equality, and.several teach- ers---six Jast month---have an average daily attendance of over 45. '""The regulations of the Depart- ment of Educgtion set the legal standard eof class-room attendance as follows; Sec. 4 (2) (a) 'Dhere Should not be more than an average attendance of forty in each class- room of forms k-V.' See. 4 (2) (b) 'On the recommendation of thé in- spector, an additional teacher ind class-room shall be provided by the board when the average attendance in any class-room exceeds forty-five for two cansecutive years.' "There has been no time durine the. 'past four years when the aver- age daily attendance in a number of schools did' not exceed forty-five, and there is therefore a legal obli- gation to provide additional class- room accommodation. : "Some of the school accommoda- tion at present in use is Vey poor, i ity as inferior to the poorest found in any other city in Ontario. The basement rooms in Central school are unsanitary Cataraqui and Rideau schools are obsolete build- ings, very badiy lighted, having no provision for ventilation, and un- suitable in other respects for an efficient modern sehool. "The meed of increased and Im- proved school accommodation north of Princess street is greater now than Howas four years ago, and the proposed addition of fou" rooms to Central school would nof be an ade- quate provision for present needs. The most desirable plan would pro- bably be for a mew school of ten class-ropms to take. the place of Catardqui school, The . additional } accommodation 'would permit the basement rooms to be vacated, pro- | vide for. the present Peripetetie model scaool, and also for a highly desirable kindergarten in Catacaqui ward. - Sn "As all the schools are now fully occupied and there is np Srnec] of an early addition of new class TCOmMS a 1 tion in the present en- rokment in the primary classes can only. be obtained at the expense of some other g , and it becomes a question" for consideration how the present accommodation can be util ized ito the best advantage. "In view! of these conditions I re- commend that beginning with Sep- tember next the present kindergar- ten-classes be abolished and that the! services of the kindergartners be more fully utilized 'in primary "kin- dergarten classes which can | S0 organized as to serve at leas as mally children as are now enrolled inthe kindergartens, but which will | carry them through the first year's primary work in reading, language, writing -and mumber. The general atmosphere and method and many of the exercises of the kindepgarten will be preserved, but the courses of formal instruction will be articulat- ed with those of the grades above, "Children minder five years of age will necessarily -be excluded from these classes, but the better organi- zation secured should work to the general advantage and eventually tt A isin THE.-DREAD OF AN OPERATION 3 -- | Keeps Many Pile Sufferers From This Risky and Expensive Method of Treatment -- You Can Be Cured Without an Operation. | \ St. Jean, Que., Jan. 16.-- Possibly yon are a sufferér from piles, and, have beeen disheartened and dis- couraged because your physician has! operation will cure yot.

COURT WILL HOLD MONEY. Alleged Divorce Figures in Question of Ownership of Insurance. * Justice Latchford bas made an or- der allowing the Oddfellows' Ralief Association, of Canada to pay into court $666%6, being two-thirds of 2 policy taken out by W, J. nks, of Waterford, in 1893, At that ime he named "Lilly May Banks, wife," as beneficiary. Last April Mr. Banks, yy his will, reapportioned the policy, giving one-third each to hls son, his brother and his sister. Four months later he died. His former wife, now Mrs, C. A. Wiles, claims two-thirds of the policy on the ground that under the status the insured could only res- appropriate within a preferred class, without the consent of the prior beneficiary. The brother and sister, she claims, are not within that class, and she has asked for payment to fier of their shares, : The executor and beneficiaries op- pose Mrs, Wiles' claims, saying that she had been divorced, The question as to who is entitled to the money which will be paid into court will come up at a later date, . ARE THEY ALL LEGAL? Car Owners Want' Authorities Name Correct Lenses. Though the winter time is here, the automobile owners of the city are even now planning for the com- ing summer. One of the questions which the pdlice might answer is whether any particplar make of the many new lenses on the market will comply with the Ontario law which is that the light from car headlights must be below forty-two inches from the ground at forty-five feet from the car. There are at least a dozen kinds being offered and SoM. Are all of these satisfactory? The Whig has been asked to seek this information by car driveds who do not want to make a second investment in head- light lenses. to LAD¥ CONDUCTORS SHOVELLED. Helped to Clear the Tracks After the Big Snow Storm. That = Kingston's lady condiictors can do mofé than coMect fares, was ably demonstrated on Monday, when they turned out and armed with shovels, helped the staff of men to dlear the tracks. They worked like Trojans and it is stated that they car- ried off the honors of the day. Some of these days there will be no jobs left at home for the boys at all, and they will haye to get 'in khaki or go hegging for a job. The street railways put on a fairly good service on Tuesday. The snow storm, which prevailed all day, made jthe going very hard. WANT LESS FORMALITY, Bishop Bidwell Favors More Infor. mal Evening Service. At the meeting of the Church of England prayer-Book committee held in Toronto on Tuesday, a suggestion was made by the Bishop of Ontario' for a more informal evening service in ¢rowded districts and scattered communities, and with the approval of thé bishop the new order.of ser- vice may be used. m-- Buy Furs- ow At the recent large sales of Raw Furs, the prices have ad- vanced materially pn practically all furs, and this Ao doh that all furs for next season will be ad- vanced in price.
