A great teacher once declared that the common schools are the hope of the country, a hope based not mere- | ly upon the knowledge these schools disseminate, but rather upon the feolings, impulses and convictions concerning fundemental frinciples of conduct, as people and citizens, that are developed and strengthened there. Never in our Metory as a nation have we felt more sorely then to-day the need of a'high and vital order of teaching, not necessarily different i kind, but rather in emphasis.

The public mind was disturbed and inflamed, and no steadying imfluence was available. In a few days the merchants began to complain of busi- ness conditions. Sales were falling off, due to the lack of the usual ad- vertising in the newspapers. Some of the stores suffered such a loss that their proprietors ,became alarmed. One merchant declared that one of his departments showed a loss of $3,000 in revenue as a direct result of the lack of the customary adver- tising, Newspapers, which give publicity to everybody else, are usually modest about calling attention to their own services and to%he part they play in the general. life and well-being of the community, But that they are essential institutions has been proven by the experience of Winnipeg.

The enthusiasm which marked the meeting called to discuss the Kings- ton library situation was very grati- fying, and awakened hopes that at last Kingston is going to be able to have a free public library such as it needs. Through the munificent gift of G. Y. Chown, the road has been opened up, and there can be little doubt that the money needed for re- pairs will be raised by public sub- scription. When that fs done, and the new building is remodelled and put in shape, then the eity will have' a building which will meet its needs in lbrary accommodation for many years to come. The next problem fs one which di: rectly concerns the people of Kings- ton as a whole, for it is one which needs the action of the city counedl. After the building is put in order, and is-ready for accommodating the Hbrary, it will be necessary for the city council to pass by-law before In this by-law provision must be made for fund. Under 2 the City Council must provide main- tenance up. to three-quarters of a mill of taxes, which is the limit allowed for free libraries. This amount would be more than ample to mest the expenditures of the Kings. ton library as at present estimated, There may be some on the Qity Council who will object to the pass ing of this by-law. | was little different from none of the proposed railroads were built.

Take 1 table- Spoonful four times a day. " This will often bring quick relief from the distressing head noises. Clogged nostrils should open, breathing become easy and the mucus stop dropping into the throat. It is easy to prepare, costs little and is plea-~ sant to take. Anyone losing hearing or who has Catarrhal Deafness or head noises should give this prescription a trial. Po PPPTereee FERPPO PEE ~--, __ King 1g and crazy, and weak : day resting, flies in - Y .
