Since it is not ours to require pupils to remain ’longer in school we can do much to help them continue their readiog and The far-reaching importance of the movement will be better understood when it is known that in any one year there are about twice as many pupils in the Third Book classes as there ar in the Fourth Book classes. This more advanced education given in the Fourth Form. Every teacher and parent who has given- thought to the question will realize how badly pre- pared for the battle of life such pupils must be.

S. Li- ln'al‘v. There is at present throughout the Province a wide-spread conviction that a determined effort should be made to provide good reading matter for the older pupils in our rural schools and for those who are compelled to leave school to assist their parents on the farm at a comparatively early age. This is a forward movement of the ut- most importance to our growing youth of both sexes and I sincerely trust South Grey will not be the last Inspec- toral division to take definite action in ‘ the matter. 1 a full months’ punctual attendance. The trustees became interested in the matter, and to show their apprecia- tion of the teacher’s effort they had a n um ber of medalsstruck with the name of the school and other particulars, to he presented to pupils who attended regu- larly for the full term of six months. The medals are given out at mid-sum- mer and Christmas, and on the last o evasion, eighteen were awarded ‘in the one department where the scheme originated. Any soreness resulting from the indignity of having to lose the medal for lack of [mnetuality is not felt severely by the pupils inas- much as the teacher, herself, is gov- erned lw the same. law, and gracefully suhniitsin case of failureto meet its re- quirements. \Ve commend the co-oper- ative spirit shown by the Elora school board and we feel soeonfldentof the suc- cess of such (to-operation that We have no hesitancy in giving it full endorse- ment. 0n the other hand we have no sympathy with the sections who se- leet trustees from the most notorious copper squeezers in the whole commu- nity. Nor can we tolerate the trustee w ho tries to cut down the teacher’s salary to meet the cost of whitewash- ing the school-house. A WORD FROM THE INSPECTOR. T. P. Smith, Eye Specialist, of Elo- ra. was in town last week. This gen- tlelnan is a member of the school board in his own town and takes great pride in talking school. Teachers or ex-teachers Wont belong in his com- pany till he drifts off to that subject. It delights him to tell what the board is doing in putting the school into first class shape, especially as regards heat- ing, ventilation and stafl'. On his last Visit he explained a method for secur- ing punctuality, adopted a year or two ago by a teacher in one of the lower forms. It consisted simply in sewing a badge of ribbon on the teacher’s dress and a similar badge on the coat or dress of each boy or girl in the school. Tardiness on the part of anyone result- ed in a forfeture of the badge which was publicly cut off in the presence of the school, and before it could be re- stored the wearer had to redeem it by It must not be imagined that the teacher is the only factor in educa- ttionsl development. Parents help or hinder the progress of the student; a I wise board of trustees is a great power 3 in keeping up the status of the school, while on the other hand an ignorant. Iparsimonious board is a hindrance to 'all progress. Another impediment is the fault-finding parent, and especial- ily the wrent who finds fault in the ' presence of his children. Such parents {are sowing seeds of rebellion and if ' they live and have sense to realize their ' folly, they will witness in the near fu- ture. a disordant element in society, which, if honest, they may rightly claim, is a harvest from their own seed sowing. But why waste time in discussing such a theme. The. parent who is foolish enough to do such foolish things will never be wise enough to see himself a fool. \\'e have one, at least in this town whose garrulous complaints to a trustee were rewarded with the polite request to go home and mind her own business. If trus- tees generally had enough hack-bone to sit on such public nuisances, we’d have fewer complamts and better schtmls. -‘ on. .- Rev, J. G. Shearer, representing the Lord's Day Alliance, was in town Sun- day, and after the close of the evening services he. delivered an excellent ad- dress in the Presbyterian Church, on the importance of sacredly guarding the sanctity of the Lord’s Day. The careless disregard of Sabbath observ- ance in France and Germany, with its subsequent evils was graphically por- trayed; an equally graphic description at efforts of similar disregard in Can- ada was also shown, and instances given where big industries were forced to close for the day, notwithstand- ing the claim that the work they e11- gaged in was a work of necessity, a claim, Mr. Shearer says, the com- pany must prove “a work of neces- sity or mercy” before they can estab- lish the right to operate on Sunday. Reference was made to the W'allace- burg Beet Sugar Factory where the Company expressed determination to carry on the construction work in spite of the Alliance till. the strong, arm of the law stepped in and forced ‘ them into obedience. Similar attempts in other places met the same fate, and Sunday work had to be abandoned Even in the manufacture of Cement, Mr. Shearer 18 of the opinion that Sun. day labor cannot be shdwn to be a work of necessity or mercy, and as an example to corroborate his opinion he referred to one of the Owen Sound mills being closed every Sunday for the full twenty-four hours and it hadn’t Knowing well the enthusiastic sup- port which all good me: sures receive from the teachers of South Grey, I am confident they will do what they can to make their respective schools, cen- ters from which radiate a truer citiz- enship and a broader culture. The second way in which we can as sist the children in their life work is- to put within their reach fora few years books of undoubted literary merit, lofty sentiment and pure moral- ity. How this latter is to bedone is the question of the hour. It is a ques- tion of supreme importance. It is a question to the solution of which I ask the earnest and hearty co-opera- tion of every teacher in the Inspector- ate. In every section something may be done if the matter be brought to t he attention of the Trustees and peo- ple. in a syxnpathic way. The enthus- iasm of the teacher in such matters iS usually contageous. In those schools 1 and there are now many of them, in which the regulations as toequipment, supplies. etc., have been fully compli- ed with, there should be no difficulty in obtaining from the Trustees suffici- ent funds to secure the special Legis- lative (1‘: ant made for this purpose. During the next week or two I shall mail to each teacher or deliver a cata- logue, of books suitable for l’. S. Lib- eraries prepared by the Education De,- partment in which will be found in addition to the regulations governing the distribution of the Grant, many useful suggestions regarding other matters connected with this move- ment. After reading the. Catalogue, the teacher will kindly hand it to the Trustees for future reference. studies after they have left school. This can be done mainly in two ways. First, by making the school work even in the Third Book classes, have a larg- er outlook than the mere grind of daily lessons, by pointing outward to the enduring advantages of well educated citizens and to the necessary limita- tions of illiteracy, by getting into sym- pathic touch with the pupils and di- recting their thoughts to the rich treasures of our literature as found in good booksâ€"â€"in other words, fostering a love for good wholesome reading. Besides this, every teacher should make it a point of honor, never to al- low any Third Form pupil to leave his school without a thorough grinding in the elementary principles of arith- metic, without being able to write a “ fair plain hand," and withouta pretty acurate knowledge of the underlying principles of English sentence struc- ture. This combined with the love of good reading would, if generally secur- ed throughout the country, go far to produce a generation of Canadians that would leave its impress for good on the life of the nation.

Conspicuous amongst them were two Biblesâ€"one the gift of the bright young groomsman. and the other was given by a married couple, who had found it to he in their own case a light on life’s long journey. yet “gone to smash.” The address? was highly argumentative and a; strong plea for the working class: who would soon sink to a state of ‘ bondage if the Canadian Sabbath laws ! were allowed to be infringed. There ‘ wasno religious sentiment in the ad? dress. Alldenominations and all class- f es are in favor of Sabbath observance, '. the law provides for it and public opinâ€" ion says it shall be so. In the face of facts like these, what is a Cororation going to do? what can it do? and to what extent will its chance be strengthened by putting forth a bold front in defiance of law, order, public opinion and public morals, to sayi nothing of the religious forces by! which all these elements. are bound1 together? \Vhether Corporations have souls or not, they are entitled to the privileges of the law just the same as private individuals, but they’re en-l titled to nothing more, and in any. case it’s cowardice in the subject to. witness a violation of the law without puqting forth an effort to prevent it.
