The resoît is accounted for by Mr-. Mignotas friends thus: A week ago st Sunday in alloding in bis sermon to the deatb of Sir John Thampton he denounced the "Protestant bigatry" whicb manifested itself in the abuse Sir John received during bis lifetime on account of bis change of faitb.

Ail that bie said was mass satisfactory except bis statements in connection witb the condition of school buildings and sani- tai-y arrangements. He complained that in somne scbool sec- tions, thougb hie bad repeatedly directed the attention of trustees to the fset that the school closets required cleaning and disin- fecting, they bad been neglecsed and were in a dangeraus condition and a constant menace ta the health of the people. I tbe diseussion, wbich follawed the inspectai-s remarks, school sanitation was the princi- pal sopic. Dr. Webster took the lead having given the sobjeet considerable attention bath as a physician and as a public man. He sald shat the bealth of the pupils was endange-ed nos only in the way pointed out but alto, by neglected wells. He said thas too little water was taken fromn Use seboal weils as ail times, but thas during Use sommier bolidays they were nos used as ail and in consequence water becamne mass unwbolesomne.
