education stands alone in being lik muno to contagion from the outbreak that has touched most everything else in such meijjjure as the local boards arc most closely allied to the public lot their communities or to the department does the faction seem to be shown in the decisions given in burlington the high school teachers received their regular increase in spite of the fact that the county council urged the body to have salaries remain at the same rate in oakville the public school teachers received an increase of 50 per year and the board requested the council to provide for a 15000 addi tion to the school this latter request was however refused acton has had a very different experience where teachers and board met and discussed matters frankly and each was big enough to see the others position recommendations from the department and inspectors vory little however in consideration of the financial position of the average citizen the same requirements of equipment and standard are called for and apparently expected to he supplied it places the local boards in a peculiar predicnnient it would appear that the provininl department might use a little more consideratioiuin

first of june the government was four years in the liquor business by way of anniversary celebration the liquor interests next move is ap parently to put the government out and the grocery store into this business whic nnd bcr in grocery stores the moderation league has had emissaries town during the week endeavoring to induce citizens to sign petitions to the provincial legislature to legalize the sale of beer and wine in grocery stores these canvassers have been given the cold shouliei by those who have seen through the sophistry of their temperance arguments but others who hrve added their signatures freely without thought in factories even the girls and boys have been coerced into placing their names on the petition without realization of what it meant it is reported that these solicitors are getting jive cents per name for the names they secure to the petitions in the towns anil ten cents per name in the rural districts they ae very disinterested temperance woijcer the people of this province know only too well that beer and wine are now obtained all too freely under the exist ing liquor act it is very mamfestthat this renewal of an oldtime and specious activity is actuated not because of evena remote desire to- further the cause of temperance or to curtail the consumption of liquor but for the fenv cents per name available to the can vassers and to increased promts to brewers and wine manufacturers a further demoralization of the homewould surely follow ttiocariyiugout of the prayer of the petition the most of the people of the community will readily see through the sophistry of the wet profiteers put beer mid wine in the groc ery stores and the groceries wjll soon be a side line in the inteiests of promoting temperance is the way the petition for
