There was a lack of earnestness, he said, about the pupils of the schools of Ontario. Down there they had to restrain the pupils from working too hard. The majority of men who lled Cabinet positions came from those little, hard, poor provinces. Inspector _Seath has- written a reply repndiating the as- sertion of Principal Parkin,}_,that the school children of Ontario are frivolous` and lacking in purposefnl ambition. The summary trial and conviction ef the Welland dynamiters will be viewed with general satisfaction. Anarchists are the constant curse of many coun-A tries. It is their custom to strike where least expected. They have never gained a very secure foothold in Can- ada, and the experience of these three gentlemen will not be likely to encour- age others _to.ernu,late their deeds, de- spite their "threat that the canal would yet be destroyed. The sudden `termin- ation of their little careers of violence was no doubt a sort of bomb to them, thus beating them at their,.own, game. They deserve scant pity, and they will get no more than they deserve. V A county exchange contains the following paragraph :-'1`he platform on ~ which Ingersoll school children were rehearsing for the Queen's Birth- day celebration, collapsed, causing pain- _ful injuries to many children, among which was one broken leg.

A large number of people were present, everyone taking the deepest interest in theproceedings. Races, such as hurdle, egg, frog,.fatigue, consolation, eto., were -indulged in by the school children, quite a number winning prizes. Sports ; of all kinds were enjoyed `by the young people, and a foot ball match was played between Midhurst and Minesing, the result being 2 to0 in favor _of Midhurst.

In the evening a lirst-class concert was given in the Methodist church. av-The artists were : Miss Jean Grozier, reader, of Toronto, and Miss Campbell, soloist." Miss Crozier s readings were exceedingly well rendered, especially, "The . Bishop ` and the Caterpillar. Miss Campbell sang in very good style, her rich, clear voice beingheard to advantage in the large audience. _ She was accompanied by Miss Ruth Miller, of Edgar. Rev. Mr. Fish, of Hawkstone, gave a stir- . ring: patriotic address. and also sang two songs very elfectively..

It was only after the strong- .:est pressure was brought to bear, and when he saw that public sentiment de- mended it, that he yielded the point. The Premier has a way of making you believe that what you ask is the very "thing he had set his heart on from the -beginning. He is the princeof telepath _`l'|t|, who reads the public mind like a book, and hastens to anticipate its every wish. At least he would have you think so.
