V. 0. Meeting. . In response to a circular sent by the to the municipalities along the route a very large number of delegates was held on Wednesday afternoon in the Peterhcrough council chamber,Fenelon Falls being represented by Reeve Mc- Farland and Councillor Golden. The meeting was addressed by several gentle- men, prominent‘amongst ivhom were Mr. Murphy ofi‘Trenton, Mr. R. G. Strickland of ,Peteiborough and Mr. Thompson of Orillia, thefirst named gentleman taking the platform several times, and in the course of one of his addresses he read an extract from an American paper of’a recent speech by a member of Congress, who expressed a wish that his Government would join the completion of-a canal (meaning the Trent Valley) that would shorten the , route from Chicago to the West by about 500 miles. Several resolutions were paSsed, the” principle one being to the be sounded as to the propriety of send- ing a. delegation it thousand strong to Ottawa to learn definitely whether the Government intend to go on with the construction of the canal, and, if not, whether they will turn it over, on the terms to be agreed upon. to a private, but properly chartered, company. We doubt whether a thousand delegates at Ottawa would do any more good (except to hotel-keepers) than a. reasonable num ber of representative men from each municipality, whose assertions as to the state of public feeling along the line will surely be believed by the Govern- ment. What is necessary is to convince Thompson &. Co. that they must either complete the canal or turn it over to a company who will; and that if they again promise to go on with it and again break their word, every Conserva- tive as well as every Reformer along the route will vote against them at the next general election. At the conclusion of the meeting, the towu council of Pet- crborough kindly invited the visiting delegates to take a ride around the future city on the street cars, and those who had time accepted the invitation, but the representatives of Fenelon Falls narrowly escaped the neceSsity of com- promising their dignity by running to catch the train. The Old and the New. At least once a week. the year thro’, we see in printa more or less severe system, and the latest is from the pen of a resident of Kingston, who, in a letter to the thiq, complains of the cost of all kinds of education, particu- larly of that obtained in high schools, and denounces kindergartenc, which he «aye are being abolished in Germany, where they originated.

The last number of the Atlantic fifonthly, in an article headed “ l’rimitivemethods the best," says :â€"“ The old-fashioned country schools had many points of merit. They had no curriculum, no notions of ‘ time allotments ’ and ‘harmonious de- chOpment ’ and ‘ logical sequence,’ and the rest of it, but only a simple and direct way of getting children to read, write and cipher at a very early age, and to be ashamed if they did it badly. Thenâ€"and here was the great unconâ€" scious principle that the country school was demonstratlugâ€"wherever any pupil had a point of individuality to work upon, some taste or some talent, there the teacher found his opportunity. The college youth, himself just waking up to the charm of literature or the fascin- ation of scientific experiment, was led instinctively to pass on to his inquiring original study. The close personality of the relation gave a power to the teaching which no mechanical system could ever attain.

At first it was feared that the venerable lady, who is in her 76th year, had re- ceived fatal injuries, and it was reported that her skull was fractured, but such, happily, proved not to be the case, though there was a dreadful looking wound near the middle of her forehead and her face was literally covered with cuts and scratches. But no bones were broken nor was she injured internally, and, under the treatment of Dr. Wilson and the care she received from Mrs. Swanton and others, she was Well enough on Tuesday to bear the short drive to Rosedale, and Mr. Joseph McFarland took herhomeinhisbugg .
