Killaby, seconded by Coun. Gurtin, that this council grant the mitigating??? :epgrt 0f ill? tire 91‘18339 sum of $200 to the mayor as a slight re- , e â€no I e num er 0f hres for muneration for his services for the past your.

Rickahy submitted his report $400. We all knew that Mayor Walters spent his time in the interests of the town and when he had charge of the charity of the town had Spent a good deal of his pri- VRte funds. Surely 8200 was little enough for two years. Conn. Currin agreed in this conclusion and thought that the mayor should receive a stated sum each year for his services. He carried his argument still further and took in the chairman of streets and bridges. Conn. Touchburn Opposed the resolu- tion. At the beginning of the year he had stated that if the mayor proved careful and kept. down the expenditure he Would be favorable to such a grant. But this had not been done. He took exception to the action of the mayor with reference to the building of the shelter at the wharf, and the efforts put forth by him to place two hydrants at the Rathbun yard. He would much sooner see the mayor receive the money thus spent. Mayor Walters gave a flat contradiction to the charge, and held that the council were responsible. Coun. Brady stated that there should be no discussion on this matter. Every member knew all about these things just as Well as Mr. Touchburn, and they did not require any instructions from him. The motion was then carried on the following division: Yeasâ€"Messrs. Crandell, Curtln, Kil- labp, Robson, Bryans and the Mayorâ€"6 N ayeâ€"Messrs. Graham, Pedlar, Touch- burn, Brady and Kylieâ€"5.

Moved by Reeve Kylie, seconded by Brady, that the street and bridge com- mittee be instructed to make the neces- sary repairs to the Wellington-at. sewer, near Mr. Goodeuough’e house-Carried. AIKED To VACATE. Moved by Conn. Killaby. seconded by Drop-Reeve Crandell, that Mayor Walters vacate the chair, and that Mr. Graham The function of such education is threefold. I. To give information. liach citizen should be above ignorance. lie should be able to read, write and transact ordinary business ac- cording to the prevailing commercial methods. He should be able to understand the position of his own country in the world and weigh the arguments of rival claimants for his suffrage. 2. To discipline. Education includes the fur- nishing of the student with habits of precise- ness. thoroughness, self-control and self-excr- tion. The boy at the foot of the class who has learned to restrain his desires and conquer difï¬culties will outstrip his more talented, but capricious and undisciplined rival 3. To make moral. A learned and self-contained rogue is our worst foe. If the schools serve only to increase capacities, regardless of good or evil, we had better close them. An expert cracksman is more dangerous than a. foolpad. An unscrupulous lawyer can do as much harm as an honest lawyer good. A rascally merch- ant cndangcrs_ihe business of a whole town. Our problems of citizenship are moral ques~ tions. Tarifl', temperance and taxation are all matters of justice. Right and wrong are the words most commonly used on the political stump. Candidates and parties appeal less to the reasoning faculties of their hearers than to their sense of justice and religious sentiments. In every phase of a citizens life it is the ï¬rst thing necessary that he be pure and honest and high-minded. Various answers as to how this complete education may be secured have to be reject- ed. Separate schools may be successful, under careful restraint and superintendcncc as a. modus vivendi, but as a governmental policy are antagonistic to the whole scheme of na- tional schools. In case of the members of several denOminations or races asserting the same right, the only result would be the de. nationlization of the schools and the dissipation of the entire system. Moreover they are sub. versive of the democratic principle of separa- tion between the church and state. Neither is a scant religious exercise at the opening and closing of the schools a solution. Though warship may have an educative force the sphere of the common schools is instruc- tion. not worship, and besides, the children are unconsciously taught that religion is sub- ordinate and of little moment, ï¬t to be side- tracked, while geography, grammar and arith. metic are given great attention. Nor can we say that the schools should do the secular training and the churches the religious training No religion is irreligion. Godlessness in atheism. How can morality be taught apart from religion? Ifthcre are no supernatural sanctions, the pupil who arising to lie or steal may have much the better of the argument with his teacher. Dean Farrat said: “An education in which the eternal veritiec of the moral law are not based on the ct verifies of the Gospel Revelation will,sooaci or or latcrl cave them like rudderlesa ships. The will turn their arithmetic into rogucry 3351 their literature into lust.†The solution is a religious one. If we are to be Christians at all we must ï¬nd some way of teaching our children- to the glory of God. On the one hand wc‘must refrain from out- raging the relié‘iog convictions of any part of the pOpulation, '7 d on the other hand must teach and discipline morality into the child- ren. For one thing the trustees and teachers ‘should be of the ï¬nest character, of the aristo- tcracy of goodness. Ability to impart know- ledge is a more vital pualiï¬cation for a teacher than the possession 0 great knowledge. The ability l0 set before the pupils at true and attractive example is of greater importance still. Upon many fundamental matters of christian doctrine there is substantial agreement among Canadians. These essentials might be taught boldly, thoroughly and persistently. The English bible is acknowledged to be the ï¬nest example of our literature. \Vhy should not its fresh and pithy pages be used very 'in lime. They have already fulï¬lled the requirements for this year for the Toronto Gas Works. They also handle wood in large quantities. _ Ur 'rO-DATE.-â€"Y0ur scribe seems to be a source of annoyance to a few individ- uals of this town, as he always drops round in time to tell a trump story or remind them that 1896 is a leap year.

The cost given for sidewalks was for labor only. Capt. Crandell came back at the chair- man and stated if this report had been furnished when asked for some six weeks ago a great deal of discussion would have been saved. Conn. Touchburn said it was the over- seer’s report and not his. It was not his duty to bring in the report. Dep.-Reeve Crandell stated that in that case the report was no good. The chair- man should bring in the report. He hoped the ratepayers would realize the way in which their funds were being dribbled away, and place better men in charge of the ship.

Even infidels com- monly send their children to the Sunday schools and though some few would object to this, we should have to regretfully insist that this is a christian nation which, on the whole, believes that on any other than a christian basis its civilization will tottcr and fall. In closing, let me have a word with the school teachers present. I fear that many of you have been thinking that the burden that I have described is too heavy for you to bar. You think of the worry of your duties, and again of your meagre salaries, and wonder why you should be expected to live up to such a high standard. And indeed the average teacher who does his duty is not paid therefor in the starvation stipend of two or three hund- red dollars which he receives. The laborer is worthy of his hire, and often does not get it. But the teacher should feel that his work is of the nature of an artist, to be measured by nobler standards than time and sweet. The teacher labors for eternity, he is an heroic co- worker with God. Nearer than the physician who prescribes at the beside, nearer than the clergyman who leads the people’s devotions from the pulpit, u re! almost than the mother who hears her in is lisp their prayer at her knee, is the techno the heart of humanity ; and his best reward is in the privilege, bounti- fully given, of echoing these immortal words “Suï¬er little children to come unto me.†'HlY THE WATCHMAN. take the sameâ€"Carried.
