The breeds used every effort to convince them, but the Sioux remained loyal.

O30 Barrie Liternry Societly. The last meeting of the winter session of the Barrie Literary Society was held at the Mechanic's Institute rooms on Fridav evening last. The President, Mr. Hay, took the chair at 8.15. The usual Ioutine business having been nished, it was moved and se- conded that Mr. Courtlandt be chairman for the evening. Suicient reasons beinc given for declining that position, Mr. H. Edwards was by motion appointed, and Mr. Gunn, nu-a Iv; crmc. nu men, and unfit them for the position in life UTIUL`. A -, The subject for debate was, Resolved that no education beyond that of the public or elementary schools be supplied by the ;.;cvcrmuent. Messrs. Purvis, H3! and .\`tcele_ took the alfirmative, and essrs. ljloyd, llrury and Bell the negative. Mr. l"urvis opened the debate. He thought the7 ` public schools were not taken -advantageof ` as much as they should be, and quoted largely from statistics to prove this position. lie thought the tendency of the higher edu- cation of our Collegiate Institutes and Col- legcs was to unsettle the minds of young whicbnature designed them to fill, and it was not right that the state should pay for what was absolutely detrimental to the good of the country. He also held that higher education must be regarded as a sort of cap- ital, as much so as a farm or a stock of goods in a store, and it was evidently not right for the state thus to furnish capital to one class which conldtake advanta e of it to the exclusion of another class una le to do so. Many young men have been lost bv this hot-house education. V - ' \u., -r1,_,,-1 _A.___L...1 ...:4.L Ll.-.. -..1...u~-rn 0-leaf. U118 H015-B01198 CQIICBIIIOII.

Education In the true sense gives a mental` grasp that fits the person for all the positions he may be called on to ll. Canada is a young country whcse Wealth and resources are undeveloped, and, therefore, its incipient intellectual life needs fostering and encouraging. In Britain.h' 11- er education is to a- large extent prov: ed for by the legacies of wealthy persons, which inthe course of centuries have heaped up an immense fund for university ednca-` tion. Still the state recognizes its dnt to the country in this matter. It .is said at education here is too cheap, and that we are too much educated. This I think is a mis- take. I agree with Mr. Purvis in his re- marks upon briefless lawyers and atientless doctors, but this 18 rather an inci ent of our educational system rather than a necessary effect. .v-_ _,,,L,_, 3,: AI_-L _L-L, ,1: L- I.:..I. mu mxcrmunm AT ronn-rANIc yr nnuom-on.

Mr. Hague, the manager of the Mer- chants Bank, and Mr. McGowan, the secretary of the. committee, had been deputed to confer with the members of Parliament regarding the date at which a the meeting should be held and the reso- lutions to be presented.

Diplomats believe that it is only a Russian dodge to gain time, and that before the Czar s accept- ance will come the report- of the capture of Herat. Whatever hopes the ministry has oft peace there is no relaxation in the preparations for war. The country was never so well prepared for war as it is now. England is proving more success- ful than Russia in the diplomatic contest for alliances. , __E-_.1I__ _-.._-....-._.1-__-_ 2- 2- i `A very. friendly correspondence is in progress with Austria.
