We read the other day of the success which had attended a young man who had the sand to strike out for himself on a ranch or fruit farm in British Columbia. While his fellows in the High school and University were pre. paring for law and medicine and divin- ity he disregarded the entreaties of his family and friends to follow their ex- ample and struck out for the west. He worked his way up from the bottom, got a farm of his own, and is to-day, after twenty years labor, in inde- pendent position financially and apower in the community in which he lives. He thanks `Providence every day that he had the good sense to brave the pre- judice of his caste against manual labor and to gain the reward of intelligent ' and rightly directed `toil. ` $ at "` Wholesale Gust.

This defective state of the i vision is often noticeable withhealthy and well- .formed eyes; and he attributes the fault to town surroundings. Very few per- sons know what their children ought to be capable of seeing, although they will knowvery well how far a child of say ten years would be able to walk or run. and what weight it might be expected to carry. The eyes of every child should be tested on entering upon school life, and if shown to be defective, ad- vice and treatment should at once he sought. The training of the eye `was, in his opinion, quite as important as physical drill to which so much time was already devoted ; and he would be inclined to place excellence of vision among the various`physical qualica- tions which were habitually tested by competition. A seeing contest might at rst seem strange; but it could not "fail to be of benet in diffusing. a knowledge of -what sight ought to be, and it would bring a number of eyes under systematic training to the ad- vantage of their owners and to pos- terity. ` In connection with this subject a letter appeared recently in the Exeter Advocate in which it is said that Specialists, oculists, physicians, keen observers in all walks of life are jointly of the opinion that defective eyesight is mainly due to one cause, viz., our mod- ern system of education. That system. is carried on to a great extent by black- boards. Public attention was first called to this subject in Philadelphia some years ago. Blackboards were usually made of painted, glistening boards that reflected light at right angles, and children `sitting in certain parts of the room could not see writing or gures on the blackboard at all. It was observed that children sitting in the back seats were more effected in sight than tho"se on front"-sea'ts..v Slate blackboards were then introduced to remedy the evil. They have now been `in use for years in American cities but the trouble continues, to be nearly as pronounced" as before. We believe that poor eyesight is caused in a- host of cases by overwork or excessive reading. It is known that many boys and girls arevoraoious read- ers; all their spare moments and in fact hour sfter hour that should be spent in some kind of work `are given to reading literature that is usually of -the light kind ; it is 818a true that this novel. literature is in" sina1l print. `Through the medium of the eye they `_.ahsorbe..`in some rotnanoe,_whioh;_.keeQs_,them.:at it into the twilight a_n'd'nhtil~ they iworidei` how it is they mace see , the hoblr by this einpsghaving cause? `in: 16;ib,_oontgot Jvith th 616.

Q., Improvements in attachments. for atofes. b u-I v/u II c -II C Ir. 1 - Everywhere throughout the province `there are loud complaints among the Public school teachers that the aver- age` salary paid is every year becoming lower- Those who expected to find in the profession at least a fair and reason- able support are nding it harder every day to make ends meet. If we inquire why it is, the -general answer will be that there are too many teachers and that the competition brings the remun-.- eration down.\ This may be true to a certain extent, and yet the competition is not nearly so keen as in a great many other pursuits where the wages are not forced below '_a_ living point. The fault, however, lies not.so much in the competition among the teachers as in the methods employed by School Boards in securing teachers. The great majority `of advertisements for teachers end with the words, State salary" expected. .A_ youth just grad- uated from the Normal school nds it School Teachers Salaries. absolutely necessary for him to get a . position at once. Fearful that he may ask too much and that another may obtain the coveted position, he applies _at a _far less gure. than his ability ought to demand. , A It` may be that his `tender. is much lower thanany other.
