Board of Education Found it Im- possible to He-open Classes on 'fucsday Next as Work is Not Compieted---The Changes Am ranged For. With the Teaching Stat. n The Whig has good news for the "kiddies" to-day in that the Col- legiate Institute and public schools will pot re-open until Sept. 9th. It was decided to, Tesume the classes on Tuesday ndgkt, but at the weeting of the Board of Education held on Friday night it was report- ed that repair work undertaken at the various schools during the vaca- tion: time had mot been completed, and as a result the schools could not open on the date selected. This will certainly be good news for the pup- ils, but the parents, who have been preparing to paek the children off to school next Tuesday, will not be so wall pleased. ,. At Central" school there is some paiatiog to be doné yet, but for the most part the delay is inthe work undertaken in the lavatories at several of the sehools, The delay has been causéd by the non-arrival of material. © Some of the séhdsis will be ready for opening on Tues- day, but it was felt 'that all the schools should open on the same day. As Monday next is Labor Day, this will be a heliday, so only four dayg will be lost. Trustee Monk, chairman of the property committee; moved that the schobls re-open on Sept: 9th, and his 'motion was passed withdut any objettion. Trustee Macnee was very anxious to Bet some information regarding the work undertaken in the schools, but:unfortunately the architect, Mr. ils, was not present, although the secretary stated that he had been An Important Feature The ncenracy and precis- fon with which we grind the lenses helps make our Kiaunes so satisfactory.

Kelly of the Cent- ral 'school gtaff be appointed princi- pal of Sydenham school, Wellington street. x That the Third and fourth book pupils of the Orphans' Home to the number of about ten be admitted to adjacent schools as may be found most convenient without payment of fees.

Miller of Smith's Falls, be appointed household science teacher at a salary of $900; plug $100 to be allowed by the fa- culty of education.

The organization recommended in this report reserves a class room in Central school for the use of the model school as requested by the Department of Education. It is pected that the influx of new pupils after Christmas will again bring this room into use "for public school purposes. Owing to the changes made in the Central school building some thirty- two pupils' desks and a re-arran ment of the present desks will be required in order to secure the for- mer accommodation. This matter was referred to the property com- mittee. ford; first 'to Report Property Committee. The report of the property com- mitee, which was adopted, was as follows: That 32 No. 3 pupils' desks and 4 rears be procured for the princi- pal's room; Central school. These are necessary owing to the changes being made in the building: The old desks in some of the rooms are so large that adequate seating accom- modation cannot be procured with- out a number of changes being made. This work hag been done, and with the new desks, every room will accommodate from 45 to 50 pupils. That a barrel of cement be pur- chased for use on the school lava- tory floors. This liquid puts a tile face on the cement and therefore de- #troys its obsorbent qualities, thus doing away, in a great degree, with offensive and dangerous odors. That the desks in the roems of Miss Bureau and Miss Parrott, Vic- toria school, be interchanged. This impr: vement was recommended by the inspector. Heavy Water Charges.

Trustee Macnee compared these two schools, ad stated that there certainly must va | something wrong in the charges, ana {Il asked that the preperty committee in-| vestigate the matter, and the board agreed. 5 Trustee Lemmon drew the atten- tion of the board to the fact that the vacancy on the management commit- tee, due to the death of Trustes t doles Sleek, had not been filled, and on his motion, seconded by Trustee Macnee, the vacancy was filled by the SPpointmens of Trustee W, M. Camp- e Trustee Macnee asked if anything had been done regarding the arrange- ments between the board and the Faculty of Education, of Queen's Uni- versity. He said he understood that the college calendar had been pre- pared without consulting the board, and he regarded this as rather unfair. The chairman stated that a meeting, had been arranged for next week to! deal with the. matter... | Chairman Farrell asked that the management committee take up as soon as possible, the question of a! dental clinic for the pupils. "We should not lag in this matter," Te- | marked the chairman, who pointed out the good that had been derived from the work of the school nurse, in keeping down sickness among the children, The care of the teeth was also a most important matter, and he was anxious that the board adopy! some scheme with the dental profesd| sion, 80 as the welfare of the chil-| dren along these lines would not be' neglected. | Trustee Lemmon informed the| chairman that the management com-| mittee already had the matter in| ul hand.

Prices on Grains are Becoming lower Following Arrival of Some Local Grades--Hide Prices Are Firmer 'With Receipts Less Than Demand. | (Market Prices on Page 12.) | The appearance of some of the lo-' cal grains in quantity on the mar- kets has brought about the only fea- ture of the week's prices, At one feed store both local and Manitoba oafs dropped considerably as well as local wheat. In last week's market reports the discrepency between the prices supplied to the Whig, and those that grevailed in other places was noted. The local quotations were verified as, Porrect but this week's prices show a substantial decline," At one store the minimum price for local oats was lowered from $1 a bushel to 90¢., and local wheat also took a drop from more in line with the prices quoted in other Ontario towns and cities, $Beef was a trifle up on. minimum prices on the cuts for the cheaper grades, although porterhouse steaks were being quoted down several cents. 'The demand"for lamb and mutton, which characterized the mar- ket during the past few weeks, seems to have subsided slightly, and mutton was weaker. In the hide market prices are firm and thes de- mand for skins continues steady. There is apparently a dearth of hides even for this season of the year,when business jis slow.' Hide nierchants are willing to raise their rates, but oo a small quantity of skins are ap- pearing. Lamb skins and deacon skins were quoted up 25¢. and shear- lings were worth as much as $1.50 Kips also raised two cents a pound. Few changes are recorded in fruits and the mid-season stability charac- terifies' the quotations. Blackberties are selling at 3§5¢. a box and better grades of Malaga grapes are making an appearance. Poultry, dairy pro- duce and fish are firm, as well at veg- etables, with some varieties beconting searcer.
