But from the perfection of the or- ganization and judicious appoint. the Port Perry school together with tho superiority of the staff of teachers employed, advan- tages are to teachers in training of the greatest value and importance to them in after life and such as are rarely to be met with, and such in fact as parties intending to adopt the profession of school teacher should endeavor to secure. A General Drainage of Filthy Pools. The agitation for the drainageof the Scugog culminated in a monster meeting being held in the Town Hall, Port Perry, on ments of the evening of Friday last. The meeting was convoked by vice-royal proclamation and was a rouser. The object of the meet- seeured ing would have been all right had it been to discuss the question of draining lake Scugog, a something which appeared to the majority present as of the greatest impor- tance to the village ; the existence of the lake being regarded asa sine gua non--not alone to the prosperity but to the life and .

Skirmishers are already thrown out in the direc- tion of Prince Albert, a somewhat formidable arfiy is mustering in that locality who certainly will at- tempt to storm the forfress in case of refusal to surrender. Municipal election contests may be a little fatiguing and the storms which natnrally arise during the contest may mot be agreeable. but then they are salutary. A sharp storm and elemental war purify the natural atmosphere and in lile manner a pretty sharp municipal elefion storm will purify the municipal at- mosphere and infuse a healthy tone into the municipal legislation for the coming year, Ttis not intended that such contests should degenerate into the use of personalities or low slander; the time of a public meet- ing is too valuable to be wasted in childish squabbles. But everything connected with the management of the affairs of the municipality should be handled withont gloves, and he is an enemy to the best interests of the municipality and no true friend to the conucil who would shrink from thoroughly investigating the entire scope of our municipal management. This may and should be all done without either the investigators or the investigated getting ill-natured over it. Such a subject is not a matter of fancy but a matter of tact and can only be properly discussed when people feel calm and rational and not by any means amid the vapors of passion and outbursts of spleen.

This went to corroborate Mr. Bigelow's statements as to the practicability of lowering the lake,-- Campbell's "Spread Eagle" soared about its usual height but itdid not effect the ques- tion either way--only spread and nothing more, 3 Mr, Forman 'was the next speaker, He deplored the agitation of this question as certain to injure Port Perry, whether carried into effect or not ; many who came to Port Perry simply on account of the lake being there would pick up stakes and leave if it were drained, and many who are con. templating coming will hold back to see whether it hall be drained. He is not at all surprised to find that Lindsay desire to sec the drainage accomplished as this would injure Port Perry and help them ; and he is certain that every man in Whitby would not only like to see the lake drained but would beglad tosee Port Perry drained also as Port Perry is a thorn in the side of that town, The speaker dwelt enthusiastically on the Inke, its beauty and advantages.
