School aystemof the Provinze o will bear favorable com- b with that of any other coun- 'taken as a whole, still it very far from being perfect. Let, s bo granted, we think few will, tempt to dispute it, that the state is morally bound to secure a good within its borders; it is not enough that every child may have such a tomining, 'but unless physically or mentally disqualified it is the im- perative duty of the state to sec that all do have such a training and that nothing prevent them from obtain- ing such. The general public act _ nobly on this matter, the toiling ones £0 to the utmost limit of their means to secure such for their offspring, but are not always successful. In thinly inhabited sections people pay two or three times more for tho educa- tion of their children under a teacher of tho lowest grade than parties in. wealthy sections do for the services! of tho highest class toachers; so that parents in the weaker sections while they have the dissatisfaction of knowing that they arelpaying two or three times more for the education of their children than the inhabitants of the wealthy sections do. they have the much groater chagrin of knowing that theic children are not being balf as well taught; that they aro not got-- ting the same chance in the great race of life as those children in the more fortunate sections. The pa- rents are not to blame. they have dono ard are now doing ®eir best and simply because their residence happens to be in section A and not section B, the parents must pay two or three as much while the children are punished permanently by being deprived of that early school training which toy would bare had, had they been residents of section B. It may be urged that parties shonld seek to locate where their children may be thoroaghly taught, but every one cannot locate just where they please, and at all events children have no voice in the selection of a location, and under no eircumstances should they be de- prived of such an education as the state is morally bound to impart-- a good Public School Education, -- Bat when the state has done this we consider that it has done all that should be demanded of it, anything farther than this should be paid for by the recipient or some one for him. The state is negligent of its: duty if it does not provide for and secure to every child in the land a good public school education --and all our pablic schools should be mado good--bat when 1tattempts to go beyond this it is doing moro than is either necessary or just. It is not necessary because when a youth has obtained a first-class public school education and has a desire and capacity for more he will soon procure it for himselt if his friends do not procure it for him ; in fact, it will be impossible to pro- vent him from securing it, and when he gots it he will know the good of _ itand put it to proper use. It is unjust in the state to attempt to go furtbor because by doing so it is wasting tunds which should be devot. ed to the public schools. It is well known that ratepayers are loaded down in striving to maintain good public schools and ure not always able todo it while a very large por. on of the funds which should go to such schco!s is lavished indis- criminately on higher education, as is termed. Thoro are hundreds, ly, thousands throughout the land who have neither desire nor capacity education, being stuffed and from day to day with a ! ing of this and a skimmer- ; of that in many' of "our High 8, who would be infinitely in a thorough public school g an education which would ) driveled away could be expended on our public 'help to bring ail of them up the same time it would intellectual training to every child | , rank in point of effici- |. ra | Colleges ; and the time would soon come when every man, woman and child in the land would bo botter educated through our improved public schools, the people's colleges. The High "Schools would bo less numerons than now ard the number of pupils would greatly diminish but the work would not suffer as only pupils having both desire and eup- | ucity wonld attend and such having a. definite object in view would make straight for that object. A first-class High School ig a'great "acquisition to any community and this entire community may well "feel proud of our excellent High ! §shool in Port Pery, and the large numbers who have moved into the locality in order that their children may reap the benefit of the superior education obtainable at onr schools | have shown a wise discrimination jand by doing so are doing morv for their offspring than any amount of money they could bestow upon them The excellence of our High School is now too well known to require a word of comment from us, the suc. cess of its students afford abundant | proof of the excellence of the school. | Lets us follow the students where {wo may and wo find them giving a {good account of themselves.

These were Messrs. Courtice, Greigg and Cumeron. "A tree is known by its fruits" and Port Perry High School has yielded an abundance of such fruit. E-- * Grand Pury: Thanks to the generosity ot some unknown, we have been put in pos- session of a copy of the Present- ment of the Grand Jury for the Court of Ascize sitting in Whitby during the present week. As is usual with such documents it is packed full of Congratulations, Glorifications and Admirationa.-- The lightness of the Calendar ot crime was worthy of notice, the absence of juvenile offenders is com- mented on. The jury acknowledges tho assistance afforded them in the more serious cases brought before them by tho clear and comprehen- sive manner in which the Chief Justice had laid down the law bear- ing on such cases. The jail and its sur roundings came in for their periodi- cal shower of compliments. The in- mates of the jail express themselves through the Grand Jury as to their complete satisfaction with the treat- ment they receive. The lock-up of tho town of Whitby is subject of a by no means flattering comment the present edifice is declared to be ansuited alike to the requirements of justice and humanity. The im- proved condition of the health of the Sheriff, in which all rejoice, is very properly alluded to with satis- faction. The document winds up with a wail over the fearful increase of crime throughout the. Dominion, expressing at the same time full confidence in our laws and in their strict administration to combat and repress the onward march of the common enemy. S---- Cold Comfort, The disconsolate respondents in contested election cases who have boen so long waiting, watching and praying that the Supreme Court would declare the Election Act of the Dominion Parliament of 1874 to be witra vires have got a rude shock by the decision of the Court on Tuesday last, declaring the Act not witra vires, dismissing the appeal with costs and ordering the cases to be proceeded with in the Courts below.

A Special Meeting of of the above Council was held in the Town Hall on the evening of Tuesday, 28th inst,--the reeve in the chair and members all present. "Phe minutes. of the: previous regular and special meltings were read and approved. The reeve stated that the present meeting had been called chiefly for the purpose of dealing with the question of the appoint. ment of a constable or night watchman which amorinted to about the same thing, but other bosimess might be brought for- ward, This subject bad been before the Council before and action taken on it which action had never been carried ont so that the matter is still unsettled. He had ex. cided at a late meeting of Council which he supposed bad heen called for the Tuesday of list week but fhrongh some misunderstand. ing the meeting was called for Monday in place 'of Tuesday, and his duties on the board of criminal audit prevented his being present on that occasion, However the matter would come up now and he hoped that it would be dealt with in fome way or other to have the matter settled. Mr. Major presented the petition of C, Trick and 138 others praying the appoint-' ment [of [Ds Ledingham.. te. the office of night watchman of the village? 134 names on the petthion agdinkt and 139 on the ond Tor the appointment, but in the event of such an appointment being made all. were in favor of Mr. Ledingham having the appointment. 2 } On examining the petitiong-it was found that quite a number of names were on both petitions, for and against and not a few who 'were not residents of the village at all: Mr. Crandell moved that the motion ap- pointing a night watchman for the village passed by this Council at its session on August be and the same is hereby rescinded, --Chrried, Mr. Major moved that the praver of the petition of C. Trick and others praying this Council for the appointment of a constable to presesve order in the village and patrol its streets during the night be granted, Mr. Crandell said he thought it rather strange in the mover of this resolution moving for the appointment of an officer without providing for his salary, he (Cran. dell) would have no objection to Mr. Led. dingham or any other reliabie man patrolling the streets by night bat there are not many who would like to take the position without a salary. Mr Major replied that he was well aware of that fact but all appointments must be made by-law and he intended that the salary should be provided for in. the by-law but with the consent of the council he would amend his motion, Mr Major amended Lis motion so as to provide for a salary of $1 per night. Mr, Crandell said he was much surprised at such a motion being presented seeing that the council had no power to make such appointment, it was not within the jurisdic. tion of the council and he would not stultily his position by supporting any such motion, why should the coun cil without a dissenting voice rescind the motion already passed in that behalf and next minnte seek to pass a resolution almost identical with that re- scinded, he certainly would oppose the motion, The Reeve read the Jaw on the matter and sid that he considered that the council could considérid that it wae necessery for the now it is for the council to decide whether safety of the village. Mr Crandell said he would oppose any justice of the thing, he did not consider it fair that poor men should be asked to pay a man to protect the property of the rich or that one man should have to pay for the protection of another man's property. It is wellknown that a night watchman would be of no consequence except in the business centre of the town, be would never be seen in the other portions, in fact one man could be of any good to all the town, for themselves as is done by Mr. Tate of the fouadry, town and he would be willing to go iu for any move likely to secure its safety and would be glad to assist in providing better protec. tion against fire and even if a night watch could guard all the town he would not oppose the appointment, but as one man could only guard a portion it would be un. fair to ask those whose property is not protected to pay as much as those who are protected ; he would. not object te the ap- pointment if those most interested would pay say one half and let the corporation pny one half, Mr Bruce said he would like to hear the] matter discussed before voting on this question, he did not wish te take up thé time of the council but be cobsidered that parties who had most at stake and who would receive all the care of the watch | ought to pay the greater part of the cost, he would not object to the corporation pay. ing a part, Mr. Major said he quite agreed with the suggestions of Messrs. Dawes and Bruce and that is exactly what is those who have most of the tint watch should pay most," well Sus she; Doom PuFSf be. town where the care of the watch is most required pay over two-thirds of all the taxes of the corporation and consequently 'would pay over two-thirds ot the salary of the watch. Major Forman was now heard; He said as one of the petitioners for the appoint. ment he was quite satisfied with the re- marks and proposition of those burs : # » he pected that the matter would: have been de. - legally make such an appointment if they | protection of the village against fire and, such appointment was judicicus and for the | Mr Dawes said no one was more derirons' than he for the protection and prosperity ofjthe | had notified Mr. Ledingham of his appoint. preposterous, they mfght as well pay it all] first they would pay one half and then they would pay over two-thirds pay the other half. The cost of the watch to parties lightly assessed would not amount to-any-thing, less than nine cents on the $100 assessed value would cover the whole. Mr, Crandell said he was surprised to ) hear the advocates of this measure make use of such arguments, surely no one will deny that the poorest man within the corpora- tion pay just as much as the richest in it, the assessment docs not discriminate in favor of one party or another, all must pay alike, so much on the dollar of his assessed | value and the man who pays one dollar bas just as much right to be heard as the man | . that pays a thousand and there can be no force in the argument that the rich pay more than the poor in way of taxes. Mr, Ham- said that allusions had been made to the fact that several parties were ! : found on both petitions, the one for and the ' other against the appointment of a con- stable or night watch, but when the 'acts are! known it is not surprising. The Council is' aware that they had appointed a night watch and the parties who came round with 1 | the petition for Mr. Ledingham's appoint-! {ment as a constable represented that he was already appointed aa a night watch, and that Ms sppointment' as constable would | [strengthen Lis authority bub, would not | The raveral petitions + for and § inst the cost the corporation any m mey, bot appointment ofa night watch, There were! when parties found ont pe 1 been deceived they signed the pet inst the appointment. Mr. J. B. Campbell was now heard, He said he was so little around town these times he did not know much of what was going on but he «certainly considered that the Major's argument was conclusive, and notwithstanding that his property was well isolated he would give his voice and would be very willing to pay his share of the cost of a night watch. Hig duties call him over a large extent of country and make him familiar with the general affairs of most towns and villages but he must say that he does not know of a town, village, or even a hamlot which has less protection against fire than this town snd though it has escaped miraculously in the past there is no telling how long it may escape. Mr Major's motion was now put and the ye s and pays being ¢ lled Mr Major alone voted yea, Messrs Bruce, Crandell and Dawes votedjnay and the motion was declared lost. Mr Major now moved another motion similar to the above only in place of a salary of §1 per night the salary was putat $225 a year, The Reeve said he could not think of | putting such a motion. what would be thought of a wealthy corporation like this offering to pay a man the sum of $225 a year for watching the town 7 Mr Major said if the corporation would not give more the balance would have to be made up some other way, The Reeve said that all the members ap- peared willing to pay » portion of the cost of | a night watch and it was competent for any | member of council to make a motion to that effect providing for the payment of a part by the corporation provided those more interested pay a given portion of the amount say one half, he for his o rt would be willing to go that length no further and if the parties most interested wigh a might watch they onght to be willing to a pro. position of that nature ; if thoseilehs inter- ested pay their portion of one half he thinks they do well," H# wonld rather pay $5 out of his own pocket.than have the whole tax ed on the corporation. * Mr Dawes said he would rather give $5 but he' would rather give $100 towards an effi. | cient protection against fire than he would give one dollar for a night watch, Mr Crandell said that if the council had no power to appoint a night watch and pay such: appointment were it only on the | hit $1 a night it would not alter the matter by giving him a less sum, he did not believe that the council had authority to make the appointment and he would oppose it without reference to salary, The motion being put the yeas and nays were demanded.
