Through the modern and improved methods of transporta- tion, time and space have been large- - ly annihilated and the man with his- car can leave after breakfast, take a run of twenty or thirty miles, do business and be home in time for an early dinner. It isn t any use find`- ing fault with those who trade else-[ where, though in many cases they would do as well at home if they only thought so.

Teachers Contracts Renfrew. Mercury .- If a` teacher - accepts a position in one school and then` some weeks later, if he ` feelsl . so disposed; resigns and takes a1 posi- i tion elsewhere, it would appear as though there is something seriously lacking in the contract which is en- tered into between the boards and the teachers, and it places. the board in a very awkward position. Some form of contract that will be binding ' on both parties, and that has a penalty clause in it would seem to be the only solution. While` teachers are naturally anxious to improve their positions whenever possibl'e sudden resignations in the middle of. the holidays are apt` to seriously in-I terfere with the strength of the teaching staff and to put boards in a very awkward position.
