The State is morally and it ought to be legally bound to see that every child in the land, not physically or intellectually incapacitated, have a good Publ¥e School education ere they reach the years of maturity; this ought to be.no matter of choice in any instance, their daily education should be regarded ns 'nocedsary as feeding and clothing them and 'ehildren onght Tio more fo be allowed a hat ed at school than they. would be allow: ed to pass around without clothing. -- Our Public' Schools ghould all be such as furnish every child a first-class Public School education and when such is acquired its possessor .will be abundantly able as far ag education goes to efficiently and profitably dis- charge all the duties that can 'bo de- ded ot himas a snes or an officer of the State.-- parties wish a higher education than this let them pay tor it. After tr receiving a first-class Public School | education any youth with sufficient capacity desiring to go higher could not possibly be kept back he would soon work his way up. All this could be done without burdening the rate- payers with an outrageous school tax, If all the funds for educational pur- poses were paid over to the Public Schools only their maintenance would never be felt by the people. But as thinys now are the High Schools wich sho-11 really get nothing get the lion's share. In 1880--the re- turn for 1881 has not yet come to light--it cost $418,920 to educate 12,900 High School pupils or over $82 for each pupil, while $5.80 was all that the education of each Public School pupil eost that same year, while the teaching done in our Public Schools was of infinitely more value! to both the recipients of it and to the' country than all the work of our High Schools. We do think that. the Trus- tees of the Public Schools throughout the Province ought to meet in conven- tion from year to year, not with the High School Trustees hy any means: but by themselves ; such is their duty as representatives of the peoples' col- legos--the Pablic" Schools -and as the educational gnardians of the young. It is a duty which they owe 10 themsolves so that they may helter discharge their duties, be the means of procuring increased ad. vaniages for our Public §clools, and be in a beftor position to defend the advantages wo now enjoy. How would'it" do to have annual conventions of Municipal Councilors, suy in the first wook in January, -- Let one representative be sent from each Municipal Council; there are lots of nocessary and important work for such conventions in dis- cussing municipal matters in gener- al, defending the rights of mun- cipal institutions ' against the encroachments of govérnments and others. Municipal Councils might well be reduced to three mombers ono of whom should retire every year and bo. in-eligible for re-clec- tion for at least five years. This would be a great relief to Municipal Councilors as it wonld save them he anguish of trimming all the year through for the election of the fol- lowing year.

SunperuanD--We don't know to whom you refer, there are so many dead beats and frauds going around; of conrse their stock in frade is blow- ing and lying, it is all they have to rely on for success in securing a few crusts but the simpletons who are trapped by such are little better than the beats. The venture you speak of will nover be worth five cents to any of those who have been wheedled into it; of course it will pay the dead-beat but it may be said of those who have been swindled out of their money by any such fraud that they must have more money than they know what of do with. It is a poor excuse to plead that the fellow lied them out of it by promising great results ; a moment's consideration might convince any one that the only possible result is a dead Joss to all except the frand who will make a few dollars outeof it. he-- Yorkville Willing to Commit Suicide. A poll was held at Yorkville on Saturday last to ascertain whether the inhabitants of that burgh were wil- ling to be gobbled upby their big, in- satiable neighbor, Toronto, and strange to say, out ot a 'vote of 220 no fewer than 181 expressed their willingness to resign their municipal. existance and leave themselves to the tender mercies of one of the most merciless, selfish, plotting municipalities on this side of sundown, one of the most mercenary corporations that ever ex- isted since Sodom was scorched. The dupes are dignifying the absorption by the sounding title of ' Annexation"; Annexation, indeed! it will be that sort of annexation with which the big fish favor the little 'ones, or the wolf gives tothe lamb. It will pay To- ronto to: buy, badger and threaten-- none 'know better how to play that game, all the Yorkvillites they can influence by such means. Theabsorp- tion would prove a profitable spec for that city, but, infatuated Yorkville would have time to lament her folly. SE------ ; Dying Hard.
