Misplaced Education. : The Toronto News of Saturday last tells us that the Board of Trade intends to draw the attention of the Government to the existence of a great and growing . ‘evil that is the result of the presence in the city of “ a horde of shyster lawyers who are starving in scantily furnished rooms rather than go out to the woods and work for a living." One of the practices of these men, who will do any mortal dirty thing that is not punish- able, is to examine every paragraph in the daily papers for a cause of action by any person against another, and. having found one, they immediately do their best to persuade the nggrinve-l or injured party to commence a lawsuit; and a short time ago the friends of a wonmn who had refused to bring an action against a mercantile firm were urged to use their influence to induce her to do so. That. these wretched “professional parasites ” as the News calls them, are the victims of misplaced education is self evident, and but for the temptation to become lawyers offered by our school system, nine tenths of them would be earning an honest living on, farms or at occupations for which nature gave them sufiicient ability. There is no greater, nor more general nor pernicious mistake than the idea that a firstvcluss education fits a youth for anything; for it creates in the recipient a haughty contempt for every kind of manual labor, and does not fit him for either of the learned professions, unless he possess two or three higher intellect- unl gifts than the ability to memorise which enables him to pass examinations with flying colors. Every “shyster” lawyer, evory incompetent doctor and every clergyman who can't preach has had to pass several examinations, and no doubt every time he did so he and his friends thoughthe had taken another step on the road to fame and fortune. At the farmer's meeting on Friday evening the Rev. Mr. McKinnon said he favored the liberal grant of public money to the high schools, because but for them the brilliant sons of poor men might not be able to obtain a good education. That, we are aware, is the view taken by-the vast majority of people; but, if we had our way, not one dollar of public money should be given to any but the common schools, at which can be obtained as good an education as is required at any ordinary evocation. If such an education be given to a really brilliant boy. poverty will not prevent him from rising, and it is better that there should be in his path a few of the obstacles that the high schools and , Collegiate institutes remove, than that a l dozen commonplace boys should be ; afforded facilities for getting into pos- 'itions they are not fitted for, and in nhich they can only make a living by disreputable or dishonest means. Farmers’ Institute Meeting. The annual meeting of the Host Vic- toria Farmers' Institute was held ac- cording' to announcement in Dickson‘s lmll, Fenelon Falls, on Friday last, and ;we are pleased to be able to say that l there was an noprcccdcutedly numerous l attendance, which was no doubt owing ilurgely to the fact that an excellent programme Was prepared and printed, . and copies of it distributed union!“ the i children attending all the rural schools ; of the vicinity. Mr. Morgan Johns. 1 the President. was to have officiated as -chairmnn, but as he was from some icause absent, his place was taken by Mr. W. H.
