During their school days they are al- ways, when at home, poring over books and they take no interest inhome life and home work. What can we do to `keep our girls in the kitchen or turn them again to the kitchen; My great- est hope in the Macdonaid Institute is -that "it-mayturn girls back again to the home life, and that theyymay there and their greatest pleasure in admin- istering to the comforts of the inmates of their own homes. `Nothing lovelier can be found in women than to study household good.

The remaining sessions of the` existing Legislature were held in Toronto. Lord Elgin, we learn from Mr. John Ross Robertson s Landmarks of Toronto, f arrived in that city by boaton the 9th of October, he made his `home at Elmsley Villa, 1 which stood on the site now occupied by the Central Presbyterian Church. In his Toronto of Old Dr.l_Scadding mentions that Lord Elgin was a regu- lar worshipper in Holy Trinity Church duringthe time of the rebuilding of `St, `James Cathedral after there of 1849. During the earl s residence in Toronto the present Normal School was built. He laid the corner-stone on d July 2, 1851. Montreal being the city ` of his birth, and Toronto the city of his early infancy, the Secretary for the 3 Colonies should have `a warm place in ? his heart for them, in spite of the fact 3 that in `the middle of last century they did not see eye to eye with his father. , Colonial Policy. The new, Secretary inherits no ten- dency to make Downing A Street rule stronger. Both. his grandfather, the Earl of Durham, and his father, the Earl of Elgin, were leaders in the de- centralizing movement, which has gone on until the great colonies are now practically as free agents as it they were independent States. Their great- ness is largely the result of` the con- cession. to them or self-government. From the new Secretary we shall ex- pect an administration or the colonies along the lines followed by Mr. Cham- berlain and Mr. Lyttelton. These two statesmen showed a recognition of the importance of the colonies such as few of their predecessors showed. Lord El- gin can be trusted to be duly_ consider- ate ot the dignity of the self-goverm ing colonies. 1849, and was rather ill received. Here 1 Lord new Secretary of State for the Colonies, it might be said , that he comes to the office by right Of 1 birth. On both sides he springs. from statesmen who have rendered to the Empire very-distinguished service in the colonies, and he himself was born in the chief colony. .His father was that Lord Elgin who was Governor- General from 1847 to 1854, and his mo- ther was Lady Mary Louisa Lambton. daughter of that Earl of Durham. Who held the oice of Governor-General and High" Commissioner of British -North America in 1838. It is impossible to exaggeratethe value of the work thus done for Canada and the Empire by the present. Earl of Elgin's father and by his maternal grandfather. The lat- ter`s penetrating mind went to the real cause of the rebellion, and in his tam-' .ous report, which the Imperial Gov- ernment in part acted upon, ire laid the foundations of responsible government here. If to Lord Durham is to be giv- en the credit of prescribing the princi- ples ot responsible government and having them established by the Act of Union of 1841, to his son-in-law is to be given thevcredit of putting these principles into working order, a task of uncommon diiculty. Lord Durham found a remedy for the ills that had produced the rebellion. It was for Lord Elgin to apply so much of that remedy as the British Parliament had adopted. Born During Colonial Crisis.` Lord Elgin s efforts to administer the country in the spirit of the new Consti- tution brought a storm about his ears, and the late Loyalists were incensed to something of the violence the rebels had shown. Elgin held unwaveringly to the principle that the majority must rule, no matter how little he might sympathize with its policy or its acts. When he gave his assent to the Rebel- lion Losses Bill the indignation of all who had opposed the idea of indemni- tying men who had taken up arms against the Sovereign broke out. On his way from Parliament House in Montreal to his home the Governor- General was pelted with rotten eggs, mud and stones. On the same night the Parliament Building was attacked and burned. All this, of course, was the work of a mob, whose excesses the leader of the Opposition strongly-com demned. The outbreak `was on April 25, 1849. On April 30, one his way to and- from the hall in which the Legis- lature was assembled, Lord Elgin was again assailed, and Monklands, his suburban residence, was threatened. For weeks he did not leave his house. It was in this trying time, on the 16th of May, 1849, that his eldest son, the ipresent Lord Elgin and the new See- } retary for the Colonies, was born. An \iexce'll_ent picture of. the lad, standing Ibeside his father, is reproduced in Prof, George M.
