The old song,- He who thinks all others rogues, Will die a rogue himself. ' ` meets with frequent verication. The following instructive passage from the Han- sard wnll be very interesting to .the peo- ple of Ontario generally, and to the voters of East Simcoe particularly. V l.l__ rV__I_ I___ L__,, _ , 1- -I A(% I J 1. H SIB moi V The way s?mM aniauvniwririrwilcaf Dr McLellan, Director of Teachers Institutes, in his lecture at the rarochial School on Friday night, handled the critics of our educational system without gloves. We think the lecturer was right in the positions assumed and the conclu- sions he drew. Nobodywill contend that we have reached perfection either in the system itself, or in the machinery for carrying it out, but it is doubtful if any better system can be found in the world to-day, or a class of teachers better pre- pared for their important work than the teachers of Ontario. Dr. McLellan is a _ practical teacher. He has been through the mill, so to speak, from basement to attic. Asapupil, he was subjected to the intellectual murdering process and the school-room terrorism of the good old times." As a public school teacher the Doctor_ is well acquainted with the l privileges of boarding round and all which the expression implies. Asa Nor- mal school student, University graduate, Inspector of High Schools, University Ex- aminer and Director of Teachers Insti- tutes, he has had the opportunity of be- coming thoroughly acquainted with our educational system in all its parts, and he is just the man to deal with the ignor- ant self-sutiiciency which prefers the book _ and rule system of the good old times, to the intellectual methods of the__ modern school room. He effectually disposed of the cries about cram overwork, S home exercises, examinations, inspection, bot- any, physiology, drawing. and music in `our schools, and conclusively demon- strated that the `critics had no solid . ground on which to stand. ' These school critics, as a rule, are mere theoretical visionaries, without practical knowledge of what they are, the self-constituted S judges, or else, as utterly ignorant of the 4 subjects they condemn as the simple back- woods rustic is of the subtleties of meta- physics. It is no wonder the thoroughly practical man should feel like hitting such critics square from the shoulder. Let any one compare the Grammar school and common school of twenty years ago, with the High School and the Public" School of to-day. ' The pupil of ten years ago now smiles at the simplicity of ques- tions at which the grammar school stu- dent stood aghast, before the days of the historic coal question. While we would ` give all due credit to the labors of the lamented Inspector McKenzie, Dr. Young and the late Inspector Marling, we have no hesitancy in asserting that intellectual .. life in our school system to-day as con- trasted with "the lifeless rule of thumb style of the good old times, is _mainly * due to Dr. McLellan. This fact, together i with the consciousness, that the doctor is i in thorough sympathy with. the teachers and their work, make-his visits to the * associations welcome events, We venture 7 to say that no man connected to our edu- cational aifairs deserves better of the country for the work he has done than - the Director of Teachers Institutes, nor . is there one more deservedly popular with the earnest honest teachers of the coun-i - try. . ` l';i)e .

A Mr. McCarthy- s amendment to the C. P R. Co s Bill, providing for equitable traffic rates between the Canada Pacic Co. and the Northern P.

'next session? oWe hope not. As the government has promised to deal with it, the prospect is somewhat encouraging, `but the fact is clear that railway corporations are clothed with too much power and exercise too great an in- uence over governments, and legislatures for the public good. iMr. McCarthy has undertaken thebattle for this railway re- form, and the country will sustain him until the victory is won. -Appearances indicate that the struggle will be a hard one. mus ran: wan amount? ` The statement comes that there has been fighting on the frontier between the Greek and Turkish troops, and that the order to demobilize the Greek forces has been countermanded. This may be the beginning of the war that is inevitable at no distant time, and which is sure to blot Turkey from_ the ' map of Europe. Russia will make a desperate struggle to possess the coveted Golden Horn, and Britain will oppose it with all the forces of the empire, unless Mr. Gladstone should retain the Premiership till the struggle comes, and should give up the ._most important military position in Eastern- Europe to Russia in the interests of the peace at any price people.

He was oelled upon several times to the bond and in- terest thereon, but call? to do so. In J nly, 1875, he wrote to the Superintendent Gen- ersl (Mr. Laird), eskin for a renewal of the bond, owing to the dn ness of the lumber trade. On the 7th July the order to renew the bond was given b `Mr. Laird.

The people of` this country are spoken of as colonists, and treated as though they were of no possible consequence. The desire to stand well with the Americans. is, with the Home Government, of paramount importance, and any demands, however absurd and `unjust, made by our neigh- bors, must be yielded to keep on good terms with them. Should, what are un- questionably our rights in this shery matter, be sacriced at the shrine of Yankee greed, it will have a serious effect upon the feelings of the people towards the motherland.

The playing of the fe on the street was alsoa great treat to the people who delightedly listened to it. Our own band too fully sustained its well earned reputation. Music has indeedcharms to soothe and delight.~ It seems very strange that in a place which is the centre of distribution of so much agri- cultural maohinery that there is not a manu- factory for it in this town. Surely there ought to be capital and enterprise sufcient in Barrie to establish and carry on such works. eWhile it appears from the large amount of sales made here of all sorts of implements for farming, it would not only return a fair profit for the money invested, but be of innite value in building up and enlarging the `town. There are evidences at present of the return of prosperous times. and the amount of building and improving going on in ditferent parts of the town prove beyond question that pe aple have. faith in its future.
