The Literary Digest says that sales are being built up nowadays by the policy on the part of the sellers "letting the buyers do the work for themselves. Fuller advantage of the innate honesty and the laziness of the buying public is being taken now by merchandisers than ever be- fore. Some manufacturers are mak- ing a practice of sending goods un- solicited on approval," to individual retail buyers with no more assur- ance of getting back their goods or the money than the fact that people i are instinctively honest and lazy. In this connection a few weeks ago many citizens of Barrie district re- ceived a package of neckties, ac- companied by a letter asking the consignee if he likes and wants the ties to remit the price. If he did not want the ties he was reque.s't)ed to send them back. In many in- stances the consignee sent a cheque, it being less trouble than repackinig and sending the ties back. This sim- ply indicatcs the desire of buyers to take the easiest way out. This is but a change in the method of shop- ping and the retail merchants in `towns and villages must adopt radi- cal changes in their methods of do- ing business if they are to hold the trade. a;1,,;.>anru,.,L;;m;;1;.; Will taxes be higher next year 1 asked a citizen the other day.

In other words, we eat the wrong thirnms and we luck hygienic knowlexlge. Our hospitals, he says, are crowd- ed with sufT(.-rers from tube-cruilo:~:i.s`, cancer, rheumatism, zu'thri:t;is and ;:asItro-ivntestinz1l diseases, who would not be there had they adopted the right methods of livincg.

The ha-a.vic.s`t tax of all is our Lax on health. No less a person that Sir Arbuth- not Lane, the famous British sur- geon, who is now an honored guest in this country, is responsible for the state-ment that the major ills human society has fallen heir to are avoid- able and that faulty living is mainly responsible. The incformation that a constasble had brought in an income from speeding nes at the rate of six thousand dollavs a year came out at a recent meeting of the York Town- shi-p Council. An extraordinary criterion, surely, of a pot1iceman s efciency in the matter of discharg- ing coarstajbu-.la;1'y duties--the income he brings in by `shaking down motorists, says G. A. Hodgsonv, past ` `president of the Motor Leavg:-ue, for ` sniping with stop watches from be- hi-nd pillar, post and shruibrbery is possibly the cushiest and most heroic thing` a policeman can do. It's a dead cinch to get your man on a more or less technical breach of the speed limit law. It is not so easy but very much more im.porta.mt and mlutary to discourage reckless driv- ing` within the speed limit, or to establish whether head-lights are glaring or not or to require slow moving vehicles to keep close to the side of the road, or to enforce the scores of other .tva`ic provisions of the H.T.A. and local by-laws. In- deed reviews of the records of motor cases of many courts seem to indicate that a very v1a.rg'e proportion of the constabulary is seized with an anti-speeding`, anti-parking` obses- iilm` nv is u++nuln ~'n............4 -0 ..J.L__. ! This imlustry in making` motor- Iists pay. pay for in effect, inoffen- sive technical breaches of an obso- lescent provision of the law (me law makers have indicated it will soon be jettisoned) when there are all I100 man}: crimes being perpetrated, IS a sorry state of affairs indeed. In the last anzzlysis the fallt, of course, is not the constable s, but the council s. A policeman s duties are dened and directed largely by the council employing him.

The number of Grammar schools was 81, an increase of 6, and the number of puprills a atend=i`n;g them 4,381, a de- crease of 78. The numlber of other eduoaltio-nraJl inst;ituitions was 338, an increase of 21, amd of the pupils at- tending them 8,273, an increase of 566. The toztal number of educa- tional institutions in the Upper Pro- vince was 4,272, an increase of 114, and the pupils arttendimzg them 314,- 246, an increase of 8,397. Ten years previouvsly, in 1849, the num- ber of educational institutions in Upper Canada was 3,076, of which 2,871 were common schiodls, and the number of pulpils 144,406. The school alttomldance in those ten years has more than doubled, having in- creased in a greater ratio than the population. In 1849 the number of pu-pils axttendiinlg` the various educa- tional institutions of the country was aboult three-fths of the esti- mated number of the p0pU.`1Iali';l`0ll 1 be- -tween the ages of ve and sixteen ; in 1859 the n-umber of pupils was nearly fou-r~f`chs of the elstim-ated number of the population of school age. The di`erence is owing party to the more extensive diffusion of educational facilities over the coun- try, and pantlly to the constantly increasing appreciation by all class- es `of the benets of educaitilon. Of the 3,953 common schools re- ported in 1859 there were 2,315 free schools, 1,498 partly free, 102 in which there was a rate bill of 25c per month, `and 36 in which theme was a rate bill of less than 25c.
