papers how do you do some pay when their debts come due others when overdue some never do how do you do the ontario legislature lias cut the school grants this year by nearly two million dollars this had been anticipated by many who realize that grants had been boosted in order to induce trustees into cer tain undertakings now the build ing demands of the department of education should also be reduced to a more saner basis m last week we made reference in this column to the war memorial that the citizens of aurora propose to build inferring that it was the same memorial which certain indivi duals were interested in having erec ted on vonge street within a few miles of aurora we are informed by the popular and genial mayor of the ambitious town on the west boundary of whitchurch that there is no connection between the two proposals and that aurora never sought to have the york county council build a shaft on yonge street we are glad to tell our readers that aurora is not seeking nor never was seeking to encourage county council to spend money on such a project the church union bill came before the private bills committee on tues day last week but not even the first clause was passed anglican add roman catholic members speak ing generally joined with those presbyterians opposed to the terms of the bill and supported an amend ment by w finlayson east simcoe that the law clerk draft a clause permitting dissenting congregations to remain ont of the union church and retain their name and property this is regarded by unionists as fatal to the success of the plan and c r mckeown mover of the bill is quoted as considering withdrawal of it several citizens of goodwood were in toronto last week calling on the provincial hydro with a view to gett ing a supply of power for that little hamlet it was suggested that the line should be extended from ux- bridge now why not supply good wood from stouffville a distance of little more than five miles which is between three or four miles less than from goodwood to uxbridge there is no doubt the cheaper power for goodwood would be got from this direction reeve dougherty and the hydro committee of the counci should keep in touch with this mat ter and see that another line is not allowed to invade our territory if we can furnish the power the more customers on the stouffville system the cheaper power will be for every user if the wll now before the legis lature goes into effect it will be un lawful for any person to carry on the business of horseshoeing in on tario unless he has obtained a cer tificate of registration the law however is not intended to affect those already engaged in the busi ness the bill proposes to have all applicants for certificates examined by a board of five examiners com posed of four master horseshoers and a veterinarian every practis ing horseshoer must file an affidavit stating the time he has practised his trade and on payment of a fee of two dollars he will receive his certificate of qualification the basis of school grants is to be changed again the qualification and experience of teachers havefor several years counted for extra grants this is to he changed the value of school property attendance of pupils and th school taxes paid by a section are to be what count for government grants in future a teacher with a firstclass certificate will not bring any larger grants to a school than one with a second- class special grants are to be con tinued for poor schools those re siding more than three miles from a school are relieved from paying school taxes

week on tuesday afternoon nearly two score of pupils from pickering school journeyey to toronto by bus to visit the ontario legislature in session leaving at 12 oclock they arrived at the parliament buildings all of them for the first time and viewed with awe and respect the interior of the building in which our repre sentatives deliberate upon and pass the laws that make ontario such a peaceful progressive law abiding province their arrival at the house having been prearranged by the principal with the enthusiastic sanc tion of the local board of education they were conducted to an allotted space in the ladles gallery where they might face the main speaker of the day sir adam beck he it was who gave on the floor of the house in the debate on estimates the his tory of our ontario hydro develop ment at niagara the debate was very interesting and the pickering pupils were lucky to hear such elo quence and the language and fiery comment and retaliation hurled from the tongue of one saturated with his subject in hand perhaps the pre sent advantage of such a trip will not be entirely apparent but an im pression will have been gleaned by the local students that will never be
