City Engineer Mo. Clelland baulked him on the gues- dil, - therefore Hip was considered fair game for the choleric '|alderman, Alderman Graham tries to put the blame of delay in preparing by. laws upon the shoulders of the eity engineer, But what city engineer could prepare by-laws when he did not know what class of material the connell was to provide, when he did not know that any material would be provided? Alderman Graham by Ide blocking tactics in fhe allotment of the contracts for material was the primary cause of the whole delay. The people of Kingston have not yet forgotten the bungle he made of the asphaMic paving material contract, of the way in which he fought the road 'oil by-law, and of the lost by- law which held up the letting of the contract for two weeks more. And * for none of these things can the city sagineer be held responsible. That the health of the city en- gineer should break down at this 0 {particular time Is unfortunate, for o (if Be were able to be on duty, then he would be able to answer the charges of Alderman Graham in a satisfactory manner. But the chair man of the Board of Works seized 'the opportunity provided by his ab- sence to make an attack upon him. He to forget that it is easy for him to have things done with the large staff of engineers at his com- mand. After refusing to give the city engineer an office aseistant to attend to the office. while he was out on the streets looking after the jobs on hand, he immediately turns around and puts three more engi- neers on. the job, THUS GIVING THE CITY FOUR ENGINEERS, ute of which, Engineer McClelland, 1s on sick leave It ig therefore easy for the other three to do more work than oné man formerly did without assistance. Financlally, the city is about five thousand dollars a year to the bad in salaries, in addit'on to the money that is being squandered in road work. For the chairman of the board of works, in an endeavour to blacken the reputatique of Engineer MeCleland, is spendin; money like water in an effort to get a large smount of work done, without any conwideration of the character of the work he is doing. ' Limestone roads are being patthed with tarvia, a senseless proceeding, and gallons of road oll are being wasted by being poured into the holes on various streets. Of course, this may be part of Alderman Graham's plan to dis eredit the use. of asphaltic oil, which he opposéd so strenuously at tho council meeting In April. The best thing Alderman Graham has done this year was thas handing in of hig resignation-a3 chairman of the board of works, coupled with is threat to resign from council; The best thing that could happen would be the acceptance of his re- ignation. His threat simply meant that the council has to discharge the city engiheer or Alderman Graham will resign. He says, in effect, that either Engineer MeClelland or him- self must go. Then by all méans let him go. Any alderman who thinks he can take the rest of the city coun- cil by the throat and demand that he be allowed to have his own way or he will resign is unworthy to rel present any of the electors of King- ston. His attitude was childish, Hke that of the schoolboy, who says: "If you da not play the game my way, I will not play at all.' The resigna- tion that was handed to the city cleric must be acted upon, and for the good of the city, and, in order that the council may -be rid of a man who has persistently blocked every pri- ve measure that hag been dis cussed this year, it must bs acespte: Phere Is no other course which wil give so much satisfaction to the-great majority of the electors. AGRICU IN THE SCHOOLS, last the artiisnt of Bduca- tion has come to recognize & Jong nes {glected duty it owed to Canada abd 3 Iture. Outside of the variousf| | provincial, departmants of agricul ture, our educationalists held aloot derman Graham was prepared to go nowietze hitherto sndroamed and the farmer's children able them to attain the highest det| gree of success, now b#ing 'conducted: at Guelph and Whitby show that there is a record attendance of school teachers this year, the number being 540, includ- ing 37 teachers frgm the Roman Ca- tholic Separate schools. The first ¢lass was opened in 1911 when the number in attendance was 100. The teachers present this year are from every part of the provincd between Ottawa and Kenora. In addition to the manual work of digging the soil and seeding, the subjects taught are bee-keeping, care of poultry, phys- ics, bicteriology, entomology, botany, weather, chemistry, fleld husbandry, live stock, dairying, solls, organiza- tion and methods. The great ma- ority of the students are women,al- though there is a goodly number of men, and there are classes for prin- cipals and inspectors, The benefit of this policy to Can-| ada Is incalculable, as it will assured- ly result in stimulating new interest in agriculture, as a vocation, for growing youths will receive appro- priate instruction and the teacher will be regarded as a vital part of the life of the community, Much of the credit for this great advancement is die to the farmers themselves, many of whom have been sending their sons to the agri- cultural colleges and dairy schools for years, where. they found that ir agriculture was to be made what it ought to be the benefits of techni- cal training should be within the reach of all. oc oPON_| Another Objection.
