A. Thompson, Almonte; N, W. Tre- wartha, Clinton; W. D. Black, Par- ham; W. A. Belanger, Clarkstown; F. G. Lethbridge, Glencoe; with P. i Cronin, secretary. He proceeded to emphasize the need of a normal school at the head of the lakes to serve the whole district, and suggested that the Committee endeavour to have negotia- FOR tions opened with the U.S. to secure the lowering or removal of the tapi on paper, the manufacture of which was so important now and in the future over all this territory. Like. farming, it was one of the industries native to this country, developing its natural resources. Dr Jamieson replied, congratulating the District on having a representutive so energetic as Mr He:enan. "The only things in Toronto that he couldn get for them were things that were too heavy to lift or too hot to hold (laughter). If what Mr Heenan said + Passes down there ever needed support, he assured them that what the Committee had seen that day assured the backing of all its members to his requests in the near future (applause). The Com- mittee were here to get information to be reported to the House, and would listen to anyone who wished to be heard regarding conditions in the district, and its influence would be behind any suggestion for the general welfare. Mrs T. H. Lewis said the regula- tions regarding the employment cf teachers were too rigid in a new district like this. Settlers should be free to choose teachers with less re- gard to qualifications than to suita- bility in other ways, to avoid unneces- sary changes where teachers were sometimes hard to get. Selection might be left more to the trustees. W. W. Howell thought our greatest Dryden THROUGH TOU To W. St. John, N.B. we Dec. 9g for Dec. 13 for 1T SPANS needs were Toads, education, popula: od M.
