BICE are pleased over the arrival of a young son who came on the first of September. He is already developing a clerical appear" ance though he was destitute of eccle- siastical vestments on his first arrival. A NIAGARA FALLS barber advertis- ing for help in the Toront papers says: “ Boozers save your stain p.” There’s our sentiments, but there are other things as well as “boozing” that rend- ers many persons useless. However. the boozer seems to be a marked man and no employer wants him if he can get any one else. AT the head of the advertising col- umn for “Teachers \Vanted” the fol- lowing suggestion is given: " School Boards might find it less difficult to get into communication with teachers of experience, if the words ‘state sal- ary’ were omitted from advertise- ments.” \Ve have always said this. Nine out of ten School Boards know better what salary they can afford to pay than the teachers can possibly know, who are seeking situations. \Vhen aschool can afford to pay six or seven hundred dollars a year, they should say so, and then select the best they can get for the specified sum. If this were done generally, trustees ’would be saved a great deal of trouble in reading over applications of high class teachers who will not accept positions at the low salaries some sec- tions can afford to pay. The trustees would'do well in all cases to name the highest salary the section can afford to pay and then select the best they can get for the money.

McGowan, a young man aged about thirty years, employed as an electrician at the Western Portland Cement plant yesterday afternoon had an experience which nearly cost him his life and which he Will never forget. Chief electrician Bailey had sent a man to the power house with instruc- tions to throw off the current on switch No. 4. The man reported that he had done so and Mr. Bailey instruc- red Mr. McGowan toxmake some con- nection at the North Ball Mill build- mg.

FREE. ed up the ladder and grasping McGow- an by the feet, attempted to jerk him free from the wire. He was unable to do so and another employee came to his assistance, but the two of them were powerless to free the electrician from his awful contact. :4 McGowan by this time was black in the face and that he was dead seemed certain. Word was gotten to the power house and the current was turned off the system. ‘It was found upon investigation that switch No. 1 had been turned off in- stead of No. 4. As soon as the current was turned off McGowan fell limp and senseless. A number of his comrades caught him in their arms as he fell and at once be- gan vigorously trying to gresuscitate him.

DURHAM, 0NT., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1905. ”$7 The male element of the teaching class is gradually growing less, and at the Normal Schools of the Province today they are about down to the vanishing point. As regards numbers at the Toronto Normal School this year there are only 5 males to 140 females. Last year there were only 3 males to 139 females. At Ottawa in 1904 there were 9 males to 66 females ; and so far only one has entered this term. At London this year there are enrolled 8 males and 80 females. Personally we do not admire the words “males” and “females,” but these are the words used and we follow suit so as not to appear odd. In speaking of the salaries the same article goes on to show that the aver- age salaries now paid in the Province are higher than in anyg'year since 1867. In 1903 the average to male teachers in the Province was $+65, and to females $321. In counties including cities and towns the average to males was $387 and $283 to females. In the cities the average to males was $951 $491 to females. In towns the average salaries were $678 and 327 respective- ly. Incorporated villages 555 to males and 285 to females. In rural schools as a whole the averages were 372 and A few days ago a gentleman on the street was talking about teacher’s salaries and made the unqualified statement that salaries to the east of us had not risen as they have in this locality. We felt a little surprised but failed to believe the remark made as we had been led to believe the Knights of the Gad were growing scarcer and scarcer in the Province of Ontario. To get at the exact facts in order to make a successful contradiction we were not in possession of suitable and and sufficient data. Saturday’s News, however, gave us the key to the situation in a lengthy article in which statistics for many years back were given from the Reports of the Depart- ment. The whole article is worthy of careful perusal, and were it not too lengthy for our columns we would gladly reproduce it. 23 respectively, and in all urlnn schools 743 and 395 respectively. In 1867 the average salaries for males and females were 346 and 226 respec tively. The article is worth reading, and we earnestly hope the little souled creatures. if thrre are any, who find fault with our trustees for the slight increase made, will read this outline and see the situation they have to face. The County of \Vaterloo pays the highest average salary, the average in 1903 being $439. The lowest average is paid by the Counties of Frontenac and Halibnrton. The average remun- eration to'females in Halibnrton in 1902 was $191 but in 1903 it rose to $231. To men in the latter year an average of $255 was paid. Frontenac male teachers received on an average $281 in 1902 and 320 in 1903. \Ve have to chronicle this week the death of Mrs. McIntosh, relict of the late Donald McIntosh. Death occurr- ed on Sunday night last and the deceased lady was just eighty-one years of age the day previous to her death. She was born in Scotland September 16th, 1824, and shortly afterwards moved with her parents to the Province of Quebec, where she remained till her marriage 55 years ago. About four or five. years later she moved to the 7th Concession of Bentinck, where she remained until about seven years ago when she moved to this town. The children of the deceased are Mrs. John Brown, Mrs. Dan McDougall, who died about ten years ago, Peter, Who died imany years ago, John in North Dakota, Donald of Florida, Alexander in North Dakota, Mrs. Scott in Manitoba, Miss- es Lizzie and Mary at home andzthe youngest son James in the North West. The deceased lady was always strong, healthy and active, a staunc-h adherent to the Presbyterian Church, and much respected in the Community , where she lived A clipping from the Independence Daily Reporter, reproduced {in this issue tells of 1.. narrow escape Mr. Robt.
