75 TERMS or SUBSCRIPTION. A 1 $1 PerAnnum _in Advance. $1.` A radical change is required in this de- partment of our educational work. The mere whim of a, hobby-riding examiner shouldnot be permitted to thrownback for months hundreds of. really deseiving candidates for advancement, and to `cast discredit upon the eiciency, of a large body of Canadian teachers. ' ' 'rnosr.'_nI:vrsme omrzcms. In spite of the continuous attacks by the Globe upon the Revising Oicers in different parts of the country, not a single authenticated `example of unfairness has yet been made public. J udge Boys and Judge Ardagh have not escaped the at- tacks of the Grit organ, but J ucige Mo'r- pan, of York. has been the especialobject of the Globe s venom. ' G No. rtew name be added to ` the Sub- Ioription List until the money is paid. - T Subscribers now in arrears for three months and over will be charged $1.50 per annum. The Grammar and Literature papers of Mr. John Seath have caused thefailure in this Entrance Examination of a large per- centage of candidates. a While the Grammar paper is not specially diicult, 3? il in 5*! arrangementa littie out of the ordinary groove in the form of the words employed, and has thrown the average candidate o' the track. V The Literature paper is. we think, en-' tirely beyond the ordinary High School entrant, and is_ quite as diicult as those set for the third class or intermediate three or four years ago. There is some complaint about the History paper, but we have notseen it and cannot say whether this complaint is well founded or not" If the design ` is to check the attempt to ll the High Schools on the one hand and to thin the ranks of embryo teachers on the other, we can understand these papers, butif the object is honestly testing the acquirements of the _ different V classes of candidates, they are utterly unintelligible. 1', A nathml and acquiredzlitness is as ne-_ cessary for the duties of 9. successful ex- aminer as for the successful teacher. .The old saying that any fool can propose questions which the profoundest philo- sopher ccnnot answer, has in it a. good deal of truth. EXADIINATION PAPERS. Complaints come from all quarters` about some of the examination papers set for the Entrance Examinations and also for Second Class Teachers Examinations. There is scarcely an. examination in which similar complaints do not arise, and there can be no doubt the complaints are well grounded. While it is important that there should be 9 gradually upward ten- dency in the qualications in all parts` of our public educational course, it is equally important that discouragements should not be thrown in the way of the students course and that injustice shall not be done to either teachers or students by cranky` examiners, some of whom seem more do- sirous of showing how much. they can puzzle and perplex the candidate, than to fairly test his tness for the position `he seeks. Some of these wise:-acres assume on the part of children the maturity of intellect of middle-age, and set work to be done in an hour which would be physically impossible to do in two. ' To be an examiner a man should. be a practical teacher and well acquainted with the progress of mental development from childhood upwards. A man to whom mathematics never o'ered any diiculty would hardly be the man to set papers in that subject for the ordinary student. Obscure, out of the way phraseology nhouldhave no place in an examination paper for any one, much less for the class of candidates who are seeking entrance into our High Schools; The object should be to ndout. what candidates really know oftbe work which is regarded as necessary to entitle them to become High _School students, and not what they do not know. A -- n take the`-tins out smock . rebuke by saying: Judge Mor- s`zsn s conduct there only-fieems to bring into relief the gross partisanship with which, in the interestpof his _ riend.Bonlt- bee, he treated the East York liats.:" No, Conservative, whatever be his ' position, can, according to the Globe, be an honest man. In this connection the organsays : It is interesting to note, that in North York, as well as in every other consti- tuency in which the Act has been pfaisly administered, the Reformers have made large gains. After all then, this terrible Franchise Act, was really framed in the interest of the Grits, and the Revising Ofcers were appointed specially to nullify its provisions. There is nothing too absurd, inconsistent and malignant for the Globe to ntter in its insane opposition to Sir John Macdonald and his political : supporters. ;tittle:"?i:.t_,; holigty, `shill-lifairgisy, tries as . um-uuuuuu uusvngs.u5 uu uuu Bl.-DUB.

Ac`-nu nn`nn-nnn. 5.` `Ian A-C:\`n.t- ...-I.I-`L __ NOTE AND COMMENT. THE following from the Monetary Times we earnestly commend to the butter makers in this County of Simcoe. The maker and consumer would be vastly beneted if the practice indicated were generally followed: Some two weeks ago an experimental shipment of creamery butter was sent forward to Leith, Scot- land, by a Seaforth dealer. So much satisfaction did it give that the consignee has cabled for another lot and on` Wed- nesday, the 7th, the product of the _Sea- forth, Londesboro and Bruceeld cream- eries was despatched, the price paid being 18 cents per pound. It will be an excel- lent thing for the butter interests of this section, says the Huron Expolitor, if Mr. Laurie, the shipper, `succeeds in opening up a satisfactory market in the old coun- try for the bulk of our product. These sales manifest the benets of the creamery system of butter making. At the time this butter was sold here for 18 cents, the best home-made butter was quoted in the Montreal market at from 13 to 15 cents, and in the local market at 12 cents, so that the patrons of the_ creameries will realize at least four cents per pound more for their butter than if they had made it themselves, and `save all the labor. Mn. D AI.roN MCCARTHY, M. P., was present at an impromptu meeting of the Collingwood Liberal-Conservative Associa- tion held on Thursday evening of last week. In reference to the rumors which have connected his name with West Toronto, Mr. McCarthy said he _ had no intention whatever of contesting any of the Torontos, nor had be any desire to do so. In fact there is `no foundation of any kind for the rumor, and Mr. `McCarthy will represent North Simcoe just as long as the people wish him to do so, and we are sure his constituents will, be pleased to learn that he has no intention of deserting them .-'-Collingwood Enterprise.

V Mr. D A1ton McCarthy was at Colling- wood a few days ago to learn what was the diiculty among the shermen at Squaw Island, and so `far as possible to o assist inremoving it. It appears that a man named Clark, who in former years- was a recognized leader among the `Calling- gwood shermen, had obtained the aid of Mr. McCarthy in getting a lease of shing limits, of which Squaw Island is the centre, and in this way interfered with privileges which have been enjoyed by a lot of other shermen. Thelaw was in- voked to restrain these shermen from shing in those limits and hence the trouble. Mr. McCarthy expressed regret that such trouble should exist and that had he known how matters werehe would not have recommended the lease to be granted to Clark 8500. However, the shermen must remember that Squaw Island belongs to the Indians and isvunder the control of the Indian Department whichis in dutybound to use it for the Indians benet. He hoped however that matters wouldbe arranged to the satis- faction of all parties concerned. It is perfectly _clear from all the facts, that whatever Mr. McCarthy did in the matter, was done with the interests of the Colling- wood shermen in view. The Flsheritirnuestion.

We have seen nothing on the most important question of Canadian rights, more calm, dispassonate and con- clusive than the pamphlet under consider- ation, while it contains much that is instructive and interesting on one of the great sources of the Dominion s wealth. The absolute refusal of Congress to act upon the recommendation of President _Cle'vel_and to appoint a commission to settle this controversy taken in connection with subsequent events shows how great upon our inshore sheries and the dter- ' mination of our neighbors to go to the ex- treme of violating well established princi- ples of national jurisdiction, if by so doing they can obtain a large portion of a value the American slrermen place` Canada s wealth without` an equivalent.

William Brown and his pretty 17-year-old wife were arrested` on com- plaint of Mrs. Kate Murray. The wife said that she was married to Brown about eight months ago, and since that time has been continually abused. He has not worked a week since` that time, but has compelled her_to steal, while he pawned the articles thus obtained. The burglary. at the house of Mrs. Kate Murray was planned by him, and he even went so far as to open the front door and compel h( r to go through the house while he remained at the entrance as guard. It was known that there -was $600 in money in the house, but the poor girl didn t succeed in nding it, and returned with a bank book containing $100, a quantity. of clothing and an ornamental cloak. After getting the property they went home, and on the way he gave her -a severe beating for not nding the $600. The stolen property was taken to a pawushop, and from the [ description given by the pawnbroker the I guilty parties were apprehended.

He said that in September, 1883, he stabbed and killed a. man on State street, Chicago, in front of Pugilifst Paddy Ryan s saloon. The two had quarrelled over a game of pool, andsettled the dispute with the knife. Luttrell left his victim lying on the side- walk. A man came along, and being caught in the act of robbing the corpse was `arrested, tried and sent down for twenty yearsas the murderer. Luttrell who had been wounded in the tight, spent a few weeks in an hospital and then ed the city. A while ago he came to Toronto and experienced religion, being converted at the camp meeting at Wesley Park. He confessed his crime to Rev. Wm. Savage and Rev. C. H. Ryder and they advised him to give himself -up to the police. _Thl8 is the substance of the story Luttrell told "Detective Reburn. Chief Draper telegraphed to the Chicago authorities, and was answered that they had no record of any such case. It would therefore seem that Luttrell is either slightly off or I trying to perpetrate a joke on the police. ' He will be held until further word is I received from Chicago. V.I\I|.lU\.al.

The Montreal Witness, posing as a Religious Daily, has apparently as much pleasure in scandals as the Globe. It cannot understand that a fee of $4,000 to be divided among three or four promi- nent lawyers in a case involving a very large sum of money and requiring much labor can be given for professional services only, notwithstanding Mr. Blake gets a much larger fee comparatively for less work. Because Mr. McMaster is a mem- ber of Parliament and a Conservative he necessarily must be taking this money or, his share of it .for his inuence with the government in favor of his clients. One might expect that a religious daily would be inclined to think and speak less evil even of its enemies if imbued more with the spirit of Christianity which it so loudly professes.
