E<l i tor. FLESHBRTON: rnrnsiMY. MAY 22, THE ,SV ACT. r : ni'UtHH. D:ir esteemed correspondent, " Yal- mine iluggms," has a letter in this i -sue of THK AUVANCK, sharply con- .inning oar public school building. \\iiether the facts w.irr.mt the' .ais Anglo-Saxon made use of bv our correspondent or not. we are ni!- I'iired to say ; but certain it is, : - have condemned the building, ..- bfciu^ a disgrace to the village, in hearing. We don't know that it - ;iny worse than other school-houses i the locality, except from hear-say. M course we have passed by it scores times, and although we 'lid not I'.KV Mpytkiug unusually wrong ubout building except tliat it was an vkward, clumsy looking affair, and i ring Home slight resemblance to r vhool-houses in the district w certainly did obgerve 'hat tlte/tnte Mi-rounding it was rapidly becoming -. IT delapiduted in short, that its usefulness " was gone. Now, if our school-house is correct- ly described by Valentine Mtl;,"_;iiis," n d the accommodation i* as he , insufficient, measures should be i dily taken to see that such a state 'hint's is not allowed to continue. Vi here school-rooms are crowded, nnd e ventilation imperfi ct, it can be ulily seen thnt the health of the pu- is seriously endangered. It will n lore, 1)' seen, that the matter is -I' sufiieient importance to demand hu- ll iti- an 1 serious attention. A mooting is to be held in the Town Hull, Flesherton, to-morrow, Friday, at 2 o'clock p. in., 'for the purpose of discussing and considering the advis- ability of submitting the Scott Act in the County of (.1 rev. It is to be hoped there will be a full attendance, and that the question of submitting it in tiny, will be fully discii-si-d. Let thu Act itself be thor- oughly discussed from every possible standpoint ; for it may be safely pre- sumed that the Anti-Scott Act people, with the ( figuratively speaking I piiL'- naciousK. King Dodds at their head. v '.11 use every endeavor to make the Act look as crooked as possible in the eyes of the public. Therefore it be- hooves the Temperance people to mm- t> r nil the detailt. The stale old yarn about " doctor's prescriptions," will no doubt be repeated over and over ji'/ain. and hawked throughout the Comity by K. Kimr l>od<ls, T. C. Hell & Co-, to shew that the Scott Act has been a failure in the Comity of Hal- ton ! If the temperance people of drey are true to their principles, and fight; shoulder to shoulder iu the good cause, the result will prove a fittnn,- rebuke to the promoters of a traffic that is a curse and disgrace to the country. nil-: /,/;/. /,i/</./ MAIL .\i>rh:i;- Wo are in receipt of the Mail Ad- vertising Agt.'ipy's Canadian ..\Virj- ;//>. r />iiec/orf I,ss4. It is very nice- ly printed, on Lruud heavy paper. Ty- pographically, in tact, the Directory is all that could have been desire .1* being a credit alike to printer ami pressman. ]>ut when we speak of the clas.sifioation, itc., of the various news- papers, our remarks arc not likely to be very flattering. For instance, THE Ain'.vNc'K is classed as an Jmlrjtrnikut paiT. which will rather astonish both our Reform and Conservative friends, we i;incy. The ADVAM-K is not a right- or-wrong, red-hot, dyed-in-the-wool Tory sheet ; it is simply a f,iber<tl- Conservative ncw-papi -r-- a credit to whom credit is due 111 ws-paper. Hut it is not Jndfjtendrnt mid so we em- phatically reject the Canadian News paper Directory's classification. There are numerous similar blunders in the Directory, to which we may refer again. .i; HE \i;i> r//;-; Tin) Governor-General acting on 'ructions from the powers that be 10 the " o'tld coimthry," it is to be ,' esiuiKid has issued a proclamation, winch Canadians are asked t > :- e the '2Hth of June, instead of >0 UUh of May, as the OIKMIS !,iy holiday !
