The expansion which has taken place in nearly every department of life has seduced many male teachers from the ranks during the last few years, and new avenues for the activities of women such as nursing, have proved more remunerative than the school room, and by the law of supply and demand there is bound to be a better recognition of those who reâ€" main. This recognition cannot come too soon, for with few exceptions, teachers are not adequately paid. The preparation necessary to qualify is becoming more severe. Socn there will be a whole year to spend at a Normal School, and fewer than ever will take such a course unless for more liberal remuneration than now preyails, l in country schools. attendance is one of the influences cthat meets teacher in his work, a ly interferes with the school during the fall t For his comfort h. Monday last teachers in rural schools resumed their Guties for the fall term. As usual no doubt the attendance will be small for some time, and irregular owing to the demands of the haryest.

When the committee decides on a plan trom among those submitted, tenders will be advertised tor. At the November session the committee will be prepared to report recommending definitely the selection otf site, the ’ adoption ot plans, and to give estimate of cost and general information. In this way the expense of a special meetâ€" ing of council (no small item) wili be avoided, and, it is hoped, the initiatory expense will be lower than that of other counties for the establishment of similar institutious. If this be the case the committee may be proud of its work.â€"Advertiser Meatord offered its site free, Durâ€" ham offered free electric lighting for ten years, and $500 cash. In reaching a decision Friday evening some twenty votes were taken, the result finally being that Mr. J. W. Boyd‘s property was selected. It lies within the corâ€" poration of Owen Sound. The committee, of which Mr. C. Gordon is chairman, completed their tour of inspection on Friday, having occupied four days anrd driven about one bundred miles The cost of the trip is arrived at by allowing $3 per day to each of the nine members of the committee and 10c mileage for the above distance travelled. After an inspecting tour of the sites offered for the propused county house of refuge, and subsequent voting on the the different ones considered eligible, the choice of the committee has tallen upon the Boyd property., near Owen Sound. This property is situated at the corner of l}:nion street and Sydenâ€" hbam townline, comprising fifty acres, with good barn, stone stables, underâ€" neath, with right to McElberon‘s springs for fire protection and sanitary purposes.
