So will pass on to where the Editor of this diity sheet starts to heap honors or tries to do so, on the head of Andrew Campbell, fur his untiring vigilence in bringing me before Squiies Eiehardsou Armstrong^ And for what, the writer of the articli says, I refuaeil to go when requested to the annual drill, (just stick a pin there to hang that lie on) I was litsver requested or/jtiotified to go with the company and had good evidence if they ' ad been called to prove that I was rrady and wilimg to go when notified, 1 was Luisy at my Imrvest and had no time to go looking for posters calling me away, but a post card vv'ould have found and took me good hearted whole souled lot of men as ever enrciied their names on a roll book or leaiuc'd the drill under a stuttering instructor, uu the othef hand it looked as though Campbell Fields did not want me, for the night before going to camp some of the boys said in hearing of Campbell why not: ,::iV-iiiiiii;nt money drawn is V!!iJi:i kccordiii;,' to the tiiiil it iiity or one hundred ;,;fc:i.I(!V.'.il lurr.ii the streets •t -liii" III school it decreases ' iilut^gnrnt while it does ^^'^l^Ws whom I respect as a ihe cobt, ii running the .11-* â-  vhut the amouut has to Le l.v I'ua section, and if the .v.uosj! lnu.iiu.ss it is to look :=f miifvcrs. fail to do so, then n ::.c^ or.r duty to jog their :t; m.d while doing so last :.'ir5iiid it in a friendly spirit i. vkw to assifcting them t;-aiuiKUs aiul thankless labors, [£Tir,i,- the attoiition of parents to s, aiiJ the consequences of to cumply with the pro- send Hanley word, and the brave captain said let him stay at home^ j. that j;heya^re. really great men a reform, Tjz, to, t^prjorc, to mak« better.

This is ail, vary well for talk, but in another jear we would find to our c,ost tliAt these two highly aogomplisb- ed geutlem^en would rebel as being over- wrought, and a third oi; perhaps a fourth alsq, would need to be engaged to fulfil the requirements of our much boasted ^bchqol law and ed«ieational advancem^ent, and we poor ratepayers would need. to pfiy the piper.' Allow ipe to make *,few remarks on Dr. Christoe's letter iu your issue of the 4th ult. The Dr. seems to be anxious to table a \oi. o{ excuses for his stand in regard, to these Inspectors. Now, if he (the Dr.). is. only conscientiously discharging a public duty, as a public man, there is no need of so much of partizans, c., no explanations of this sort.is necessary wo don't want per- sonalities. The, Dr. says they (the Inspectors), "are mere fossils of a re- ceeding age." Will this not apply to old dectors, old lawyers, and others as well as old Inspectors I3ut with this wfl have nothing to do what we w^ant is retluced expenditure consistent with efficient ediication but we have not time to follow the Dr. through all his arrjumerits, wo will just take one other sentence and it is a ouotatiou from the Minister of Education's speech at Owen. Sound; it is this, "that water cannot rise above its level, as is the teacher so will, be the scholar." It is by, statements such as this that many are carried away beyond "their debth" and because a; big gun like the Min- ister of Education says something they ,_do,notqifit« comprehend, they think without them altogether.jind do away with legislatie; grsjits and county equivalents and let our Hi^h Schools, by wbatsver natne they are called, be supported by them wlio use them â€" them who get the benefit, and let TruBlees and Teachers stand m'the sagto relation as employer and em-^ ployed, or if you will, ae^niaster and servapt that is, let thesQ two parties makethiir own bargain,, uot only as to salary, but;Al80 as to lijblidays, c., e.

But let "lis l,odk at this most remarkable seni- tence, so^ riOfpaikable that even Dr. Ch,ristoe. quotes it, "water cannot rise above its leyel." Uf course net, neither can, fin apple, falling from a tree, fall upward both pre regulated by the lawâ€" fixed lawsâ€" both are material, but.^raind is not material so to,flt- temjjt for a nioment to compare a material substance with that,.which ,is immaterial is out of the question, and no wise pi^n will ever seek to do it, "fls .is the teacher, so will- be the s;holar," just so Mr. Minister. Did Dr. Cliristoe.^Ufcver knuje? a pupil go away pver so far ahead of^his teacher? Of course he has, and is it not a fact that, in all our scnocls there are pupils who^ cannot If^arn. at all, wlide there are otliers who "drink in" education as fast as the teacher can "pour it ouf' for them and many of our most learned men never -vf ere lawjht by man, and why is this Simply this, that the mental capacity of one is by no means measured by that of another, but God has given to some ten talents whde, others only have one, but with the Dr. and with the Minister of Edu- cation it is all "the Teacher," but let us look away frona Doctori.anJ Min- isters of Education and try and do something for ourselves. F. W. tells us truly who our rulers are iu thi» school business, and until we as farm- ers resolve to do our OTvm business, we shall continue to be just what .we now are, Berfs to every, other class in the community. We have heard itsaidf that there is only one teacher in, On- w^" ^cu»^ tario for every three or four hundred inhabitants, and yet this sm ill min- ority rules this large ujajority.
