A., of the Omemee High School, last Friday evening, some very pointed and expres~ sire remarks were made on our system of education. Mr. Shaw in review. ing the matter said : “With all its good features we must honestly face the fact that our system is defective, it is too much theoretical and not sufficiently practical." “There appears to he too much force work in our system ol instruction, too. much commercial force, too much ‘cramming.’ " \Ve are in perfect harmony with Mr. Shaw in this Opinion, there is too much ‘memorizing’ of subjects to render them of any prac- tical use. \che of the opinion that the turricnlum of our comn or schools is altogether too extensive, studies are too numerous and diflicult fix- the on- «linary scholar to properly grasp, and even if attainable, are useless to him after his school days. Many of the higher branches of study are but vague ly understood, even by the- teachers, and were they diSpenseul with and more attention paid to the practical a more beneficial efl‘ect would be produced. “1551‘ WIt’TOI‘A Tl-IACIIIZBS' 185011.1- 'I'ION. Tue Nihilists are evidently willing to come to terms with the Czar. In a reply to a manifesto which his Majesty issued, they say that if he will ritl his court of the men whose counsels made the reign of the late Czar an unhappy one, attend to the requirements of the people, and listen, without prejudice. to the views of duly elected l'epresen'w tivesof the people, he will not have occasion to fear sudden death. \Vha: the revolutionists want is a constitu- tiouulgovelument, something similm to that of England. No doubt a govr eruuieut of the people by the people would put an end to the Nihilist troubles, and give Alexander pence. VENNon’s prophecy for J nne has proved correct and he has conSequently scored another victory. The hard frosts predlcted for the beginning of the month came duly to hand, and in the western portion of the province the crops sufâ€" fered severely. Up towards Oww Sound, grapes, plums, gooseherries and garden stufl generally were completely destroyed. Even the thistles snfiered.
