Fenclou Falls, Aug. 16th, 1894, mm The Fcnelon Falls Gazette. __ ‘Friday. Nov. 30th, 1894; Dissatisfaction. â€"â€"â€".. A writer in the Toronto News sign- ing h1mself“-One Interested," and who. that journal. tells us, is actively and prominently engaged in the teaching profession, says :â€" ' “For the. past few years there has ;arisen among parents and teachers a strong undercurrent of discontent, not gwith our present system so much as 'with the details of the system. This :undcrcurrent, arising from parents who 'find that the education their children ,are recsiving does not fit them for the practical duties of life, gathers force ‘ .among those progressive teachers who find themselves cramped by restricting regulations and, an unsuitable our- riculum.”' The chief,.hut not the only, ground of dissatisfaction amongst both parents and teachers arises from the fact that the object of the Public schools appears to be to prepare pupils for the High schools, which only a few of them will ever enterâ€"in other words, that time and money are wasted. on studies that will be of no future use to the great, majority of the boys and girls who are compelled to pursue them. “One In- terested, asks: ” Is our system of edu- cation to be moulded for the good of the few or for the benefit of the masses ?" We unhcsitatingly declare that at pres- ent it isfor the good of the few, but a change that will make the school sys- tem more in accordance with justice and common sense is inevitable, as com- plaints and evidences of dissatisfaction are becoming so numerous that they cannot much longer be disregarded. The Young Liberal Convention. Apart from the general election, which from the signs of activity at Ot- tawa may be expected immediately after the completion of the voters’ lists, one of the most important events of 1895, politically, will be the convention of Young Liberals, to be held in Toronto in the latter part of January. Hereto- fore general party conventions have been held at irregular intervals, and, as in the case of the great Ottawa conven- tion of 1893, at the call of the party leaders, who have been required to assume altogether too much responsi-, bility in connection with the manage- ment of the forces fighting under their leadership. The intention of the pro- moters of the present convention is that it shall be made the means of forming a permanent organization, operating upon the principle of the National Lib- eral Federation of Great Britain, and like it holding annual conferences for the discussion of the position of public business. and the relation of the party thereto. The conventionsofthe National Liberal Federation are held in various cities, where the presence of a large number of leaders of political thought and farmers will do well to call and see my line of goods before purchasing else- where. ' These goods need no comment on my part, as they have been in use for over 25 years and are this year fully and be convinced for yourselves. My The Massey-Harris New Wide Open The Brantford h‘rcnt and Rear Cut 3%“ Thanking my numerous custom- holding Liberal principles, and ex- the uncut logs can be disposed of in. presses ofiiciully the views that are afterwards expressed at the polls. That it is a federation fashioned on this principle the young men expect to organize. is shown by the call sent out by the Young Liberals of Toronto to Clubs throughout the country. The object of the meeting is set forth in the following words: “ We believe that the annual conference of such a federation as that proposed would do much to quicken the interest of young men in public affairs, and that, by a full and free discussion of the questions of the day, the delegates would aid the leaders of the party and public men generally in ascertaining the wishes of the people. The best interests of our country would be served by enlisting the young men on the side of good government and in support of a policy determined upon in open convention and based on the ex- perience of the delegates in regard to the Sentiments of the people of their own districts." As a central organizing body, a medium for the difiusiou of political literature and a headquarters for Liberal speakers during a campaign, the pro- posed federation would be extremely valuable. Its operations could be car- ried on by the contribution of a small fee of probably not more than ten cents yearly per capita of the membership re- ported by afliliated clubs. We believe the idea is one that will result in ad- vantage not only to the Liberal party, will place the control of party politics in the hands of the many, instead of the few, as is too often the case at present. We trust that many clubs from our own county will be repre- sented at the convention, and in the coming Young Liberal Federation. Just in Time. On the afternoon of Sunday, the 11th of March last, Christopher Brandon, 21 years of age, who lived in Fenclon, just outside the village. settled the doubts that were rife as to his mental condition by breaking into Mr. Heard’s store and then into one of the show-cases, stealing a number of revolvers and several boxes window smashing and pistol firing by shooting Constable Nevisonthrough the leg- After spending some little time in Lindsay jail he was transferred to the lunatic asylum at Toronto, the author- ities of which institution returned him to Lindsay on the 11th of July, think- ing probably that his mind' had re- gained its balance. November hs- reappeared at the Falls, having been. released from the Lindsay mother, and until after the funeral, which took place on the 9th, there was little- if anything in hisconduet to com- plain of, although. he spent nearly all his time in the village instead of‘re- mainiug at home, as would have been more sccmly. A few days later, how- ever, he began to break out again, and gradually grew worse until, on Satur- day evening, hc was arrested, as a dangerous lunatic, on a. warrant issued by Police ll’I'agistrate Deacon, who ha - pened to be at the Falls that- day on other business. On Sunday he was taken to Lindsay, and on Tuesdayâ€"by which time he had grown so violent that it was not; thought safe to take him from his cell in the jail to the court roomâ€"was rc-committed to the Toronto asylum, from which it is to be hoped he will not be released until cured beyond all doubt- His removal from the vil- lage is a great relief to those (chiefly women and children) who have been in dread of him ever'since he returned on the 5th, and the general belief is that he was taken away just in time to pre- vent some not of violence, which it was feared would take the form of incen- I diarism, as he was constantly talking of warming people and of how much could , be done with a match. l Chris.,bellut'cd so quietly in jail until 3 Tuesday that he was taken down to do some work in the kitchen, and while there he suddenly began to act and talk in a crazy manner. did his best to kick a wash-tub to pieces, and fought with all his might against being put into a cell. Next day he was as bad or worse, preaching, praying and swearing by turns, and talking various kinds of non- sense that convinced all who heard him that he was entirer out of his mind, l and that it was a blessing he was where he could do no harm. The Red Mill. Etc. As only a few logs remained to be cut this season, half of the machinery in the red mill was shut. down last Mou- day, and on Wednesday morning it was is calculated round often dogmprolnote discovered that Jack Frost had shut a sort of political revival. The discus stcns at thesc conventions are regarded as the best evidence to be. had of the population, but all over the country. The Federation represents the people down the other half by flinging his icy fettch around numerous parts of the ,gearing; but this could have been pre- vented by taking the necessary precau- tions if it had been theintention to run the millallm‘ntor.

Its exact dimensions have not. been decided upon. but it will? probably be abouts hundred foot. square. and different heights in dili‘crent places. â€"â€"one, two or three stories as occasion may require. How long it will take to build will depend to some extent upon the weather, but as many men as can be profitably employed will be set to» work simultaneously and will soon “ rush it up." As the weather is too- cold for masons to work out of doors, the building will be set on posts, but. next year a stone. foundation will be. put in under the sills.

Toronto. â€". One of the most important of tho- public institutions in Ontario is the- Hospital for Sick Children. in Toronto, which contains accommodation for 175'). patients, ranging from two to fourteen years. Children from all parts of On- tario, whose parents cannot afford to pay for medical attendance, are cared- for free of all charge. When parents desire. to pay for treatment, for $52.50* per week they secure the best medical attendance and have every want sup- plied. This hospital is a Provincial institution in every sense of the term, and is recognized as the leading hospital for children in the world. Its accident“ ward is open day and night, all the- year round, and children sent in from the country, suffering from accidents or' deformities of any kind, are promptly attended to. Ambulances are sent to- all railway stations on due notice being given to the authorities. The facilities for all kinds of surgical work are now surpassed, and a telegraphic or tele-t phonic warning that the ambulance is. on its way opens the doors of tho lar- gest and best equipped hospital in the world.. There are one hundred patients in the hospital to-day. Last year about; 530 were treated inside the building and 2,000 in the outdoor department. jail to attend" the deathbed of, his ,l’n the summer the children are all sent ‘over to the Lakeside Home for Little Children on Toronto Island; which is the largest childrcns' sanitarium in the world and'thc most perfectly equipped, containing beds for 150 children.

The following is a copy of a rcsoluâ€"- tion of condolence -passcd by the local tent of the Knights of the Maccabees of' Elmira, Mich, of which the late George Wise was a member, and was received a few days ago by his father, Mr. Chas. Wisc, of this village. “While God, in his inscrutable provi- dence, has seen fit to assign a limit to the life of our Sir Knight George Wise ; and while our grief is not to be expressed by words, the grief of every Sir Knight’s heart will understand,and we believe there is not a. member of our tent from whose eyes hot tears did‘not flow at his untimely and'tragic death. Thus prematurely called away, he parted :from this life and from the tent of the K. O. T. 31., which he loved and upon whose welfare he centred his thoughts, yet for be- yond the limits of our tent will his memory live, nor cease to be respected. ‘ Resolvedâ€"That in his untimely dcatl. our tent has lost a valued member and society a respected citizen, and as the tent of the K. O. T. M. we deeply sympathize with his bereaved father in his irreparable loss. and in this sad hour of his life.
