Thei-e is room for a large and in- telligent Mutual Aid society in Mark- dale while no one wiU question the need of such. We have in this yillage as fine a class of young people, male and female, as may be found in any place of its size in the Dominion, yet the general tendancy is to spend their hours of recreation or rest from the active duties of life m idleness, or engage in triflmg nonsense not be- cause it is desired or preferred to something useful and elevating, but rather because there is no means provided for the encouragement of moral and iutelectual culture. In order to secure the great- est success throughout the journey of life, it is very important and ne- cessary that young people determine to cultiyate a desire for self improve- ment and then endeavor to gather from every source avaible lessons of wisdom and instruction. This does not ap- pear natural to all, yet it may by diligence and practice become a pleasure, and one which will never be regretted. We would suggest that a meeting be called of all who feel an interest m the mutual improvement of either themselves or their friends, young and old, and if favorable, organize into a Society. The usefulness of such a Society if properly conducted cannot be over estimated. A reading room maybe in connection, exercises on Letter writing, Hygene, Etiquette. c c., thereby opening up a means of self culture available to all. â€" ^Toronto will celebrate the Queen's Jubilee on the 80th June and Ist July. â€" ^According to the reports of the most reliable statistics the number uf failures in business are steadly decreas- iug in all sections of the country. â€" Owing to poor health and at the urgent advice and request ot his physician., Hon.

EDUCATIONAL. CKOP PEOSPECTS. The weather has been all that could be desired for Agricultural purposes siuce the first day of May, consequently all nature smiles on the labors of the husbandman. The seed was sown in good season, and the soil being in a superior state of tilth, the genial showers and warm weather is forcing a spontaneous growth. Fall wheat is heading out and pre- sents a promising appearence Meadows are remarkably good and well forward â€" in fact the season ia fully a week in advance of the average.

South Grey Teacher's Association met in convention at Flesherton, on Thursday and Friday June 2Dd and 3rd. Notwithstanding the threatening state of the weather, there was a better atiendance of teachers than at anj preyious Convention. FIBST DAY. About 11 a. m. the President Mr. C. Bamage took the chair, and, after the reading of the minutes, gave an ad- dress characteristic of iiiac gentleman. Mr. Eamage is undoubtedly the most active, and thorough teacher in the inspectorate. Mr. J. F. Hunter read an interesting paper on "Teachers influence." TJie New School History waa then torn to shreds by Mr. R. J. Ball, a very fiery little gentleman. This was followed by a discussion en that book, and httle was said in its favor. AFTEBNOON SESSION. An Object lesson on the "Bell" was skillfully taught by Miss Taylor. After which Mr. S. J. Tilly, Durector of Teachers Listitutes for the Province read a lecture on "Discipline" which should be taken to heart by every teacher in the country. Miss Del- mage was indisposed, and Dr. Hixon failed to put in an appearance with his paper on "Hygiene," in lieu of which windows were opened and a good quantity of fresh air admitted. Next came a paper on "Examina- tions" by Mr. Wherry Principal of the Durhaml M. S. This gentleman takes a great interest in teaching and in written exams, and no doubt does a great deal of work if he practices all he preaches. Inspector Campbell launch- ed forth into •Temperance in schools' in a way that showed he new what was good for the pupils. In the even- ing Mr. Tilly gave a lecture on "suc- cess in life" which was highly ap- preciated by the audience. Those who stayed away from this lecture missed a treat the like of which is seldom heard in Flesherton. FSIDAT. MoKNiNG Session. â€" First on the pro- gram for the day came Mr. Boyle of Toronto, whose fluent manner of speech and quaint humor, kept the members from relapsing into that apathy, which is so common at Teach- er's Associations. He showed the workings of the Educational Society, very clearly to the teachers, and the advisability of the teachers forming some society for the elevation of the I members of that most noble profession whose only emolumeiit at present is the ^knowledge that they are en gaged in a noble calling, which goes a very short distance in satisfying the cravings of an empty stomach. A class in grammer was next taught by Mr. Tilly in a way that showed he new how to teach grammer. "The College of Preceptors," was handled by Mr. Merchant of the Owen Sound Col. Ins. who was clearly not in favor ot that body. AFTBBNOON SESSION. The same officers were re-elected, and, jndgmg from their success ^is time, no fitter officers could be chosen. "Floral Culture m School and School grounds" was taken up by Mr. Merchant in a manner which was appreciated by all who heard it. Map Drawing were given by Mr. Dixon, who has retired from the pro- fession but still retains ^lively interest manything'peiNiixig-to the advance- ment'of; go^/ eiupaifaSn.- /^at' was t^ be regretie^ wasillwf^w^^^^^^ propounded foit the question sdtawer.
