Perusal of newspapers from all over the Province shows that School Boards are faced with refusal of their teachers to wei-S; at present salaries. This suggests centralized action and the recent experience of the Simcoe Board of Education would point to a body known as the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation. Thcr* is no questioning tke fact ithat an upheaval in the educational jife of this Province is impending hut whetther the Provincial Department of Education is wise in allowing the Federation to settle the (question in its own blunt, undiplomatic, way is one that is debatable. The Beformer believes the people themselves should say just how much they would pay for education. Fleeted Boards of Education nearly always represent the views of the ppoii'e. Evidently the School Teachers' Federation does not take this view, and if they do, have decldsd to disregard public opinion and follow htimUy the path that leads to destruction. The experiences of other selfish organizations who disregarded the law of supply and demand, and took no account of the wishes of the people, prove this. The Renfrew Mercury, one of the be-,i week Jy newspapers in Ontario, character-ices (he recent action of the school mr.eh-abused word in these days of the "fourteen points" and "saving .the world for democracy", and yet it aptly expresses a movement that can have but one ending. Col. Mitchell, President of the Federation, outlined the teachers' stand and tnen defended their action by pointing out that all other professions had councils to decide what their services were worth and what f~cs should be charged and he claimed teachers had the' same rights. Undoubtedly school teachers have the right to organize for mutual benefit, but invasion of the people's pocket-book should not be permitted |>v the Department of Education. Yeats ago, Sir James Whitney, speaking in Simcoe, said many of the- Normal Schools should be closed as they were turning out more teachers than the Province could assimilate. How many teachers educated at the Province's expense enter the teaching profession in proportion to the number who attended Normal? Undoubtedly school teachers' salaries generally have been too low; but is the average teacher's education sufficiently high to demand higher salaries? Four teachers of the Simcoe High School demanded increases that averaged $375.00 a year. They were backed by the Federation;,- but their demands were turned dovfn and they were "fired". The Federation placed a boycott on the local High School The Board of Education advertised for specialists to take the places of the four Normal-trained teachers who were dismissed. They got four University-trained graduates- who have considerable teaching experience, at salaries, the aggregate of which is not in excess of those demanded by the four previous teachers. The Beformer agrees with The Renfrew Mercury when it says: "The whole question appears tc u*. to be one that'might be well discussed at a conference of representatives of the Department of Education, the Teachers' Federation and the Trustees' Association. If the Government is going to set a certain standard, and then allow those who come up to that standard to establish a close corporation, it may be that the people will demand a change in the regulations. For it must not be forgotten that in the final analysis the people are supreme in educational matters, as in every other department of the Government". BARN BURNED AT SEYMOUR A very heavy electric storm passed over this section of country on Saturday night about 11 o'clock; considerable damage was done. A barn belonging to Mr. Reginald McCul-loch was struck and with its contents was destroyed. An electric light pole was struck near the G. T. R. station in front of Mr. Salem Hoard's residence. The bolt came so close that Miss MabUe Hoard, a young girl who was sleeping in bed, received a very tevere shock. Her limbs were numb for some hours. Under medical treatment she has quite recovered from the effects of the shock.-- Cini-ibcllford Herald..

Orillia Packet: It is nearly two years since Premier Drury, it speech at Orillia, promised changes in Ontario's educational- system t revolutionary. Where have been side-tracked? L lot, i and i The convention of chief . ceutly held in Montreal, had no sympathy with the sentimental twad-that is so often heard in behalf-convicted and sentenced crim-s. Inspector McKmey declared amidst great applause: "We are be-oming a nation or sympathetic i-hiners, sending flowers and loving nessages to condemned murderers. Vbat we need is a saner attitude towards the criminal class, and the ooner people cease getting up petitions for the commut itton of senten-the better it will be for the smooth and effective working of the aw". "This is common sense", apt-y comments the Brantrord Expositor, and good citizens everywhere ought _o trown upon all attempts of such people to interfere with the due processes of the law. After the.country has spent thousands of dollars in es-" "telling the guilt ,of a criminal, e are always some sentimental pathizers ready to undo the work.' The Orillia Packet, speaking of the Rotary Club, of which a club is •ganized in Cobourg on Friday, has the following: Although the Rotar-ians are well known, yet a great y people are in blissful ignorance lieir manners, customs, and other ntials. Recently delegates from different countries held ttieir twelfth annual convention burgh. The other day one of the " arians in conversation with King >rge V. spoke of the work of the arians generally, with which the ig was so impressed that he ;-ked that he himself "would not id being a Rotarian". The United States inquisitor caused much am-lent with the characteristic reply that "he saw notnlng to keep King George back" rrom such an in-mtion. Briefly, rotary is a system C club" all over the world, each of hich is organized ou the basis of the inclusion of a limited number for each trade or profession and each of which holds periodical meetings. movement interests itself in all sorts of good and charitable work, and at the spreading in a practical vay of fellowship in the business ,\orld. A rotary club, in short, is irstanixed to accomplish the better nent of the individual member, the ,e;Jerment of his business, both in he practical way--and in an ideal vay-- the betterment of the members' ;taft or profession, as well as the ,is tow-n, state, and country, and of society.
