V. uaurglwn, uuul., 1 soul: DCIWUE 171' MY DEAR SIn,-_Having been elected to the P. 8 Trustee Board and wishing to dis- charge my duty in an intelligent manner, and also having learned from the Education Act that the Inspector is to be considered the advising friend of the Trustees, I have deemed it wise to write you this letter with the object of obtaining your opinion of the Barrie Public Schools, and also to ascertain what means, if any, you consider necessary to secure that improvement which I presume you, in common with a majority of the rate- payers, consider essential to the fair educa- tion of their children. In view of the rumom which were circulated during the last few weeks and considering that you are a public official and I a public representative, I desire that our correspondence shall be public in this matter, and I have accordingly sent a copy of this letter to the Barrie papers with which course I trust you will coincide. An analysis of your report of the late Entrance examination, published last week, shows that 98 candidates wrote, 49 from Barrie and 49 from the surrounding country. Of the 49 from Barrie 7 (14 2/7 per cent.) passed, while pf the 49 from the country schrilols ll (38 38 49 per cent.) ed, thus a o ' vrry clearly that eithgrtshe mental calibre the pupils from Barrie or the power of education of the Barrie P. S. system is 24 24/49 per cent. below the mental calibre of the youths from the country, or the power of education of the country schools. This is not attering to our town and cer- tainly not as it should be, more especially as I understand that the Board, like other town Boards, pays the Inspector an additional consideration in order that its schools may have the benet of more care and attention from that oicial than the ordinary allov- ance would secure, and more I presume than is given to the country schools. Nor is the per centage of marks the only bad feature made apparent by the comparison, inasmuch as the highest number of points made by a Barrie youth is 483 as against 576 made by I country youth, thereby placing Barrie's beat, 7th on the list and 93 marks behind, while the .remaining winners from Barrie stood 10th, 13th, 15th, 16th, 18th, 19th and 21st. the last, be it said to our credit, being six places removed from the bottom. This is I fair comparison and the position in which our schools are placed by it cannot I feel condent be satisfactory to you, but as it is by no means a new thing for Barrie tobs behind in this matter, and as you are supposed to represent the interests of the public as between the Department and the Trustee Board may I ask what steps you have taken in the recent past to bring about a change, and if you have taken none and do not see the matter in the same light as your correspondent, be kind enoufh to frankly say so. For my own part feel thatths -result of the examination is a disgrace to our other wise fair town, and the fault is either with the Trustee Board, the staff of or the P. 8. Inspector, or all three combined. 9 The only object of this letter is to determine the cause in order that so far as one vote can do it a remedy may be applied. The .rats- payera will no longer tolerate the present state of aairs and the sooner it is rectified the better for the education of our children and for their success in life. Kindly accept this letter in the spirit in which it is written and be assured that any eort on your part at improvement will have my hearty assist- ance, for I have ietermined during my term of oice to be an enemy to ineiciency and a friend to eiciency no matter in what shape or quarter I meet them. Hoping our united , efforts may tend to place our tcwn in that elevated position educationally, which she once enioyed. I am yours truly _ Jas. Warm.

The service of song is a most important part of public worship and oftens does as much in promoting the good of the church as the sermon itself. It is important though that the leader of a choir. shall be free from dyspepsia, otherwise he_.will neutralize the other services` by his doleful selections. Trinity Church. the Presbyterian Church, Christ Church and the Collierst. Methodist are particularly fortunate in hayinga ne service of song. The anthem at the Collier Street Methodist Church last Sunday evening was exceedingly beautiful, calming, soothing and spiritualnsing in its inuence. The ladies and gentlemen of these choirs cannot fail to be appreciated by the congregations they so much assist in Sabbath worship.
