The whole system is a muddle. _ The Department of Education has been in one party's hands for over 25 `years, and today with all the money spent on higher education we are only in an ex- perimental stage. In 1896 the old rst, second and third class certicates were done away with and in their places were senior matriculation and two parts of junior matriculation. There was to be no more teaching on third class cer- ticates nor on its new equivalent Part I. of the Junior Matriculation. The . examinations were made- more diicult J9 pass, audio the First Part was to be the conclusion of a pupilis studies in 1 English Grammar, English History, Arithmetic and Geography. What has been the result`? The second part of the Matriculation has ` been made more diicult to a certain extent. That extent is that more -`studies are put in the curriculum and a year's time is given to prepare. too mnoh., When persons have passed two -months since being granted Matricu- lation diplomas, we venture to say not half the pupils know half the work covered by their text books. Did you . ever nd anyone learn to speak French or German in a Collegiate Institute? There are very few who can read or -write these modern languages in one year's tuition such as is procurable at a High School. It is the same with all branches of study. Too much is pre- scribed to allow of_ any thoroughness. Ex rah. ` PE_N TANG.

There is no not be regulated properly. All along` the water front boys can be seen in covering. This is ashame as ladies who would like to frequent this cool part of the town cannot do so, and our visitors will soon shake the town. The police don't bother their heads about it and_ the fools who are breaking the un- venforced _law get more reckless. . On Mondayand Tuesday the Boating Club - premises were covered with bathers who did not know how to behave themselves. The result was that those` wanting to do boating were unable to. Most of these too were fellows who would not do any- thing to help the "club along but out- siders wanting something for nothing. The secretary of the club foresaw trouble last week but was unable to get the _committee_ together. Yesterday morn ' iug, however, -he took the matter in his own handsand ordered an apartment built at the south boathouse for mem- bers onlyewhere swimming can be done l under regulations. A notice was posted ' warning trespassers and this will be strictly `carried, out._ This will settle the matter as for as the Boating Club `ls concerned as the secretary has power f to do this, the property being private. The public property along the water front needs immediate attention,`how'- ever, and we therefore remind the police of their duties. The law is there let I it be carried` out. In fact, bathing ought `to be prohibited entirely on the water front, between Berczy and Mary ; streets. The Council should attend to ' this matter at once and pass such a I by-law, or regulationqas will put a stop` - to this disgusting nuisance for all time. s'ro1= suoa swmmno . g Legislation is not required to secure decency in thistown, `but it seems that the law is not veryjwell enforced.

If Barrie is to "be a. summer resort of any consequence then we must have summer resort customs and allow-in fact, encourage-swinp ming. It is quite a different thing. however,'to" allow indecency and it is time some arrests were made as warn- ings to others.
