The reason is not hard to find. and one has only to look at the salaries that many of them accepted a few years ago to find a satisfactory solution. That good brainy men and women have Ween forced to leave the school room because of the inadequate remunera - tion they received for their service is much to be regretted. and when one thinks seriously over the situation he is almost forced to the conclusion that ere long our boasted educational sys- tem is bound to suffer and decline. \Vc often hear complaints made against riding bicycles on the side- walks and it’s the boys that are gener- ally charged with this violation of one of the town By-laws. \Ve see and know something about this thing and from our wide knowledge of boys we may be permitted to say that they generally take their cue from boys of larger growth, and these in turn are governed by their elders. To keep continually nagging at the little fel- lows will only bring contempt so long as the bigger boys and even men are allowed to do as they like. without a. word being said about their wrong do- ing. The whole evil can be stopped at a. single stroke by simply bringing be- fore the magistrate, and fining well, the first man found on the sidewalk riding a. bicycle. The boys will give no further trouble if the men are made to toe the mark. This is free advice but it’s worth trying.

Many young men and women in their earlier days neglected opportunities, which some of them at least have reason to regret. A good night school, it seems to us.{ would help to make amends for past neglect, and to young persons whose daily avocation Will not permit them to go to school the attendance at a night school would be a decided ad- vantage. Night schools are quite common institutions in large towns and cities and there seems no reason why smaller places could not carry out the same plans on a smaller scale. A few hours aday devoted to study would have a transforming influence on the future of the nation and the very success of many a one might be dated to the benefits derived there- Parker get conclusive evidence against '1 the young culprits, nothing short of IL ' term in the Refornxzttory will satisfy 5 his requirmnents.
