Drury. It was interesting to note the identity of Liberals who ap- plauded his criticisms. Pinard, of Ottawa East, and several others, left their own seats to gather behind Ir.

Legislature goes down to history as the one in which Hartley Dewart, 'ex-Liheral leader. called the Drury t'lovernmenl "l‘he Ten T inkers." and got away with it. The dictionary definition of "itin- erant menders" suited the ministry exactly. the Toronto member in- sisted. and he charged that much of their legislative tinkering was only by way of soldering and would not stand the test of time. When Mr. Dewart broke into verse and apos- trOphised the attorney-general, wondering “how your little legal brain stands the unexpected strain." the whole House laughte'd. U.F.O. members included. while Mr. Haney stood on his dignity and retused to join in the mirth. The serious pu'l sages of Mr. Dewart’s address in- cluded an arraignment of the Gov- ernment for its attitude toward hyâ€" dro and for incapacity in financial administration.

There was a little confer- ence at the suppen recess, and at the evening session Hon. Dr. Grant came in with announcement that the Gov- ernment would defer indefinitely the Operation of the 17-18 year part- time attendance provision, which it had been planned to impose from September 1 next, and that he would move an amendment to exempt all rural school sections from the act in every respect. It was a victory for Mr. Casselman. but the Govern- ment is now under fire, in view of the premier’s constant talk of dem- ocratic methods, for its proposal to inaugurate ~a sharp distinction be- tween town and country.
