Camp- bell. McLeod, Hare and .Jamieson ad- dressed the council in regard to In- spector Steven’s report on the school section on Thursday. The main trouble, according to the speakers, was the idea that a new school was necessary. Then. too, they believed that nearly everything that had been repaired had» been graded lower than ever. The section was well satisfied with the school they have. as it is com- fortable and well lighted. The school grounds have been well kept and the buildings painted regu- larly. The school inspectors in this coun- try are always 1 for the people and 3 for himself. It is time we put a curb on the inspectors here in the County of Victoria. The qu hon has been asked wheth- er the child has as much comfort in the school as in the home? In our case the school is just as comfortable Why do some inspectors insist. on having the south wall a. blank and no windows and others want addi- tional light from that direction? In regard to blackboards, I had graded them first, one. There are diderent opinions about the sch-:01 itself. and it does not come up to the regulations required. Our pupils are facing the west and get light from both sides. If there is too much light surely we can pull down a blind. Isn't it most ridiculous to have a man order a new school when thc old one is perfect? I believe the children should be comfortable in the schools, and espe- cially when the ratepayers are weal- thy enough to give them that com- fort. In regard to the heating, it was graded one, but the fight comes from hath sides and I could not give a high grade when light must from the left. Reeve Howkins said the principal thorn in the flesh was the dread of a. - new school and not the grading. The school was a very nice little building, but its drainage is bad in spring time. There was no need of having a school as large as Oakwood and the present one might do for a while. It ‘ would be advisable to let the Inspee ‘ tor and the trustees get together and . settle the aflair. .â€" no use in wasting so much time. uThey had the same misunderstanding ‘ in his own section when a. new school had been advised. It had been burn- ed, however, and now the new one, . was fine and there was no kick on I the extra expense. 9 Mr. Adairâ€"Mr. Stevens, you notify [ the trustees to meet you and try and i understand each other. i A resolution was drawn up to the tefiect that the trustees meet Mr. E Stevens and if then they could not aâ€" gree, it would be advisable to take the matter up with the Department i Warden Varcoe believed there was I l i 'I‘vh'e’ huge and top heaVy establishâ€" ? meat of ,Chinese gods is to be'reduc- ied.

Mr. Campbell said the well' had been graded four when it was the heat water in the country and it should be graded one. Mr. Stevens showed his report grading the well one and remarks asking for the pump to be fixed. If the Educational Department changes their rules, I til follow their instructions. Mr. Campbell wanted a. committee appointed from the council to inspect the school and report, and Mr. Stev- ens suggested that they call at some of the latest schools such as Cak- wood has. Mr. Campbell believed that Mr. Steven's letter was a veiled threat that a school must. be built. When they built a new school, it would outshine any other in the county. The 25 per cent reduction in grants to rural schools was next discussed and much dissatisfaction was caused by it. ' 'Mr. Bottum said if the trustees would be freer with the Inspector and talk the matter over it would in: sensible. Mr. McKee was asked to slate his objection to Cement closets, but he said he did not believe he was quali- fied to set up his opinion before his superiors.

Any .Chinaman who carries his owa private gods around with him will do so on his own responsi- bility. ‘Oflicially they will not be gods at all, but only ugly dolls. The The suggestion has been mime at tba headquarters of the Chinese Freemasons that a day be set apart for a worldwide destruction of the gods. It is pointed out that the more ignorant of the Chinamen will be frightened out of their wits at the wholesale smashing of idols, and will fear the wrath of the gOds, but as nothing wiI-lscome of it, the scare will gradually pass, and the intelliâ€" gence of the Chinamen will chow that they were wasting time praying to g-od'sto save themvvwh'en the particuâ€" lar gods prayed to could not save themSelves. (Of the gods that seem destined to survive the coming wave of destrucâ€" tion the Buddhist deities are in the lead. BuddLism came to China from India about 62 A. I). The religion is very strong in; the supersti~ tions of the Chinese. In fact, some writers claim that there was no worshipping of images in this anâ€" emu-t land until the image of‘Buddha, was brought to China by the Budd- hists. ' The ancient religion of the Chinese sets forth that Yang and Yin were the two souls of the universe. Yang wasth-e sun god and Yin the moon goddess. ' Yang represents warmth and life and the .heavens from which these good things came. Yin repre- sents darkness, cold and death. Yang is the god of all good spirits. Yin of specters, demons and devils. The two, Yang and. Yin, were formed of the subtle essence of heaven and earth, and from the joint operation of the two came the four seasons, and these putting forth all their enâ€" ergies, gave birth to all the proâ€" ducts of the earth. This is the Ch’nâ€" cse story of the creation. Had the story rested there all might haVc been well, and the Chim; we would not have been the god-rid den nation they are today.

Many of the idols, while beautiful speci- mens of Oriental carving and con- struction, appear to be nameless or- phans. with no particular miSSiOn in life, but supposed by the possessors to be good for any purpose that is desired. These general utility idols are so .numerous that the searcher after information regarding their use has to give up in despair and come back to the more important gods, such as the gods of wealth and wis- dom, the gods of the seasons and the supposed benefactors of the Bee. These will be hard to kill, and it is safe to predict that they will survive the destruction coming to the rank and file of gods for some time to come. But they will ultimately all have to yield to the determined de- mand for reform that is working such wonders in China.
