N Ezette 'N ext Week. There will be no Gazette next week, as our staff is going to the Toronto In- dustrial Exhibition, and it is impossible for usi to get the paper out in his absence. especially as the Fcuclon Brunch Agricultural Society's fall show will be held a little later than usual this year, and the printing in connection therewith is not yet done. In old times is was quite common for country papers to Skip a week occasionally, but the Gazette has not done so for several years; and, now that it. is almost no- avoidable, we hope our readers will be as good natured about it as we have been about the slownessfiof some of them in paying up. m Educational. Within the past few days we have noticed two comments, with which we perfectly agree, upon the existing school system, with which we don’t agree at all. At a meeting of the Toronto school board on the evening of the 29th ult. one of the trustees, Dr. Hunter, intro- duced the following motion : “ Whereas this Board expects every teacher to use, and to insist upon the using, only correct English, and. as there is sufficient evidence for believing that many of our teachers use, and allow their pupils to use, very incorrect and defective English ; therefore this Board instructs the Management Committee to make a thorough investigation into the character of the English used both by teachers and pupils, and to report there- on to the Board not later than the second regular meeting in November. Also to suggest such regulations as shall tend to secure the uniform use of only pure classical English in all our schools.” It is to be hoped that Dr. Hunter will not let his motion drop, nor permit it to be ignored, for the evil it calls ,attention. to exists to such an extent and ’is so widely difi'usad that something ought to be done to check it. No one expects either the teachers or their pupils to.“ talk like a book ” written by a perfect master of the English lan- guage; but there are barbarisms of speech in daily use by those who ought to, and probably do, know better, that fairly make our flesh creep when we hear them. The mistakes made by the great majority of teachers are but few and trifling, and it is a wonder they are not more numerous considering the great. variety of subjucta that have to be studied and the little time that can be given to each; but many of the pupils appear never to have been taught gram mar, or, if they have, it has made little or no impression upon them. The teachers probably do their duty cen- scicntiously. but their efforts are too {reqticutly counteracted by home and street influences, and gl‘OSn mistakes are made by boys and girls who hare been to school for years, and many of whom have passed several examinations. It “ Those who carted their old booksl to school yesterday bad to cart them home again and get the new publica- tions. It costs a lot. of money to do it, but. the books must be had and every boy or girl must have a smattering of Latin, Greek and “ higher ” education. ls it not about. time this ridiculous book changing DUSlnCrS was stopped? Parents have to keep their children at I home because our educational “ system " demands a constant drain on the pocket g for new books, when the old texts are l piled away in a‘ closet, half worn and half read. The business is getting worse and worse as each aspiring author turns upon the class room a new com- pilation of Latin nouns and verbs, or an alleged improvement on the grammars, histories, arithmetics and mathematical authorities used in the common schools, when a pupil received a better and more practical education than is given in the Collegiate Institutes of to-day.” Mill Accidents. No fewer than tour accidents have happened in Howry & Sons’ mill this week, three of them on Monday and two of them with the same horizontal shingle saw that took the tip off one of Mr. M. J. Wilson’s fingers on the 25th of July last. About 9 o’clock on Mouday morning Mr. Walter McCall was feeding bltlckh to the saw, and at last came to a dry, shaky piece of wood which the claws of the machine could not get a firm. hold of. He put out. his left hand to push the block down. At that instant the saw jerked it away from him, his hand went. a little too far, and the saw took ofi'rathcr more. than half the top joint of the second finger. and badly laccratcd the first and third. He went to Dr. Wilson, who dressed and bound up his fingers, and on Wednesday morning he told us that his hurts had ceased to pain him, although he- had suffered a good deal lor some time and was unable to sleep at all during Monday night. After Mr. McCall had retired dis- abled the foreman of the shingle de- partment took his place, and fed the venomous saw without accident until some time in the afternoon, when some shingles cut from a piece of cedar clogged below the saw, 'as not unfro- iquently happens. Mr. Howard put his left. hand up from below to “ break the jam,” and, when he withdrew. it. the second finger was shortened nearly as much as Mr. McCall’s, and a small slice of flesh had been taken of? the third. He, too, went to Dr. Wilson’s and had his injuries attended to, and will be off work for some little time. On the same day Mr. Quackenbush, who is one of the men whose duty it is ‘to throw boards on to the edging table from the platform behind' it, strained his back so badly, while stretching for- ward to draw a pile of boards within easy reach, that he had to quit Work, and at first feared that he would be laid up for several days ;, but he- quickly recovered, and on Wednesday was able to take his place in the mill again. About four o’clock on Wednesday morning Mr. Wm. Dcyman’s second son, James, was badlyâ€"though it is hoped not. seriouslyâ€"hurt through the break- ing of the handle of a cant-hook with which he wys helping to roll a large log on to one of the saw carriages in the mill. A‘l hcwas exerting all his strength. and the pole snapped like a pipe-stem, he Was thrown down so violently against the edge of a two-inch plank that the clothing was ripped from his left side, which was terribly bruiscd‘and cut, and bled somewhat profusely. He managed to walk home, a distance of nearly a quarter of a mile, without assistance, though not without great difficulty, and his father, from whom we obtained the particulars of the accident a few hours later, expressed the opinion that he would be confined to the house for sev- eral days. Village Council Proceedings. Fenclon Falls. Sept 2nd, 1895. Regular'mcetiug of council. All the members present except Mr. Slater.

The matter is one 01 much importance, and we commend it to the immediate and earnest attention of all interested.
