The details of the other Chang. es afiecting the schools will be pub- lished in time for the re-opening next September. Mr. Vincent wae also prominently identified with saveral local trauma! organizations, and was a member of St. Paul’s Anglican Church choir. He secured the appointment of Police of Sault Ste Marie in the face of teem competition on the part of a large number of applicants. He will take- charge of a force of five men, and his salary, it is understaod, is a splendid one. Although the Normal and Model schools and the Faculties of Educaâ€" tion are together sending out each year more teachers than ever before in the history of the Province, the supply is still insufficient, owing chiefly to the prosperity oi thecounâ€" try, the continued lowness cf the salaries of the Ontario teachers in comparison with the emoluments in other fields. and the high salaries and other inducements of the Western provinces. To meet the- situation, several additional Model schools will be established during: the- present half year. Chief Vincent is to be congratulated on securing such an excellent appoint ment, and the citizens will unite in wishing him every success.
