g PUPILS. The pupils enrolled in public schools numbered 10,115, and in Kindergartens 472-119 ‘less than in 1896. Boys, 5,637 ; girls, 4,950. 308 pupils atten- ded less than 20 days during the year, 779 between 20 and 50 days, 1,529 between 51 and 100 days, 2,151 be- tween 101 and 150 days and 466 over 200 days. The average attendance shows a~gratifying increase over that of1N)6,htsing 71 per cent. in towns, 70 per cent. in incorporated villages and 62 per cent. in rural sections, maEingw65- 4 5 per cent. in the whole county,“ increase of 5 4-5 per cent. over the previous year. The report says '. l‘fAccording to the last report of the Minister of Education the percent- age of average attendance to total number of pupils in_the Province of Ontario was " In the matter of regularity ot attendance the teachers and people of the County of Waterloo have reason to be proud of the position this county occupies in Ontario. For the last seventeen years, the years of 1887 and 1890 excepted, our county has stood in this respect head of the Province." Ot the rural schools Philips. burg had the highest average attend. ance, 73 per cent. Deon, Peteraburg, West Montrose, St. Jacobs, Plains, Pine Hill, Blair, Haylville and Welles. ley village each had 70 per cent. or over. The lowest: average in the County was at Josephsburg, viz, 46.8 per cent. CLASSIFICATION.

The number of teachers employed at the end of the year was 18g---mixles, t 2, females, 112. The number of lady teachers has been increasing fora nam-) ber of years. In 1880, 33 per cent. of' the teachers in the County were ladies , in 1890, 54 per cent. and in 1807, 61 per cent. At this: rate the genus male teacher will become extinct early in the 20th century. 7 teachers hold first class cesrtriiiostes, 99 second class, 70 third 01688 and 8 Kindergarten. The? average salary in the rural sections of the County was $395 to a master, de. crease, 88 ; $295 to a mistress, decrease, $5 ; $243 to an assistant, decrease, $4. The decrease in the average salary since 1890 is ', to a master, $37 , to a mistress, $30; to an assistant,. $12. Baden paid the highest salary of any rural section in the County, viz, $650. The lowest salary paid to a master was 8850, also in Wilmot, bat we will forbear to name the section. The principal of Galt receives $1,000, Berlin $1,150, Preston 8750, Hamburg $700, Hespeler $650, Ayr $600 and Elmira $500. There were 22 changes of teachers during the year and 46 at the end of the year, From the 26th Annual Report of the Inspector of Public Schools of Water loo County, just to hand, we glean the following interesting information l RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES.

In the issue of May 5th, Bystander has comments on the war at present in progress that are particularly good, and he also pays his respects to the advocates of Christian Evolution in a manner decidedly refreshing. We quote a few sample paragraphs: THE CLERGY AND WAR, The Bystander goes as far as anyone in wishing to justice for Cuba and the emancipation of her industries, and trade. He goes further probably than most people in looking forward to the time when all European powers shall deem it wise to withdraw peacefully and honorably from the Western Hemisphere, and leave it to look out its own destinies. m knows as well " any fire.eater that war is sometimes necessary, though unnecessary war is a crime against humanity and civiliza- tion. He does not question the right of intervention, provided it is disin- terested, by paramount powers in ex- treme cases. But he believes in right- eousness for nations as well as for men. It is the reproach of our religion that it has not been able to extend its in. flaenee ever public and national life, An English bishop went so far as to say that a government would be mad if it tried to regulate its foreign policy by the Sermon on the Mount. Men who were branded as heretics and infidels have been left to strive for the main- tenance of peace and good-will among the nations, while the professed min.. isters of Christianity have been trum- peting wars, blessing battleflagis, and chanting Te Deums. Thus it comes to pass that we are told, in regard to an unprovoked war, by men of undoubted character, that mixed motives are tsufficient for aggression, and that pub- lie morality, if it rules otherwise, is cant. Among the mixed motives of some people on this occasion is probably their share of a flood of Cuban Repub- lic bonds issued at five cents on the dollar, CHRISTIAN EVOLUTION. That distinguished American divine, Lyman Abbott, has been amongst us preaching evolution, in which he seems to himself to have found a sovereign cure for all religious difficulty and doubt. It is the fate of each great discovery to be first a paradox or a heresy, and then a craze. For some time after the discovery of the circula- tion of the blood, all problems respect- ine the human frame were solved by hydraulics. Evolution is a physical law or combination of physical laws. We have not the least reason at present for believing that it extends to the region of human effort, moral or intel, lectual. We have each of us in his own consciousness apparently the strongest reason for believing that it does not, but that with personality and conscious effort a new order of things began. No attempt has yet been made ‘with any measure of success to apply evolution to the facts of human history. Progress, though irregular and inter. mirtent, we see, in all the departments of human thought and effort, religious thought included. But as yet nothing can be identified with evolution. Of all fancies, surely the idea of an evolution of revealed religion is a manifestation to man of the nature and will of God, and an evolutionary theory of it would COUNTY MODEL SCHOOLS. Twenty-one teachers were in atten- dance at the county Model School. Fifteen received third class otsrtitieateg, and six failed to pass the examination. ENTRANCE EXAMINATION. 408 candidates presented themselves at the entrance examination, of whom 316 were successful in passing. 32 pupils passed the Public School Leaving examination. Continuation classes were also carried on in anumber of schools, and 13 pupils were successful in passing-l) from Elmira, i from Hawksville, and 1 from Winterbourne. The value of school houses and sites at the end of the year was $270,000, and of furniture and equipment), $30,- 500. The tobsl number of school houses is 93--581 brielr,231 stone and 11 frame. The Berlin board erected an addition of 4 rooms to the Agnes street: school she cost of $5,000. Additional class rooms were also furnished at Preston, Elmira, Wellesley and Centreville and an additional teacher engaged at each place. making a total of 68-...Eiteen more than the previous year and the largest since 1891. The number of changes is not to be wondered at when the small salaries paid is considered. Trustees cannot expect the best teachers to re- main in the profession from the pure love of it. There must at least be a reasonable remuneration compared with other walks in life or the most efficient teachers, those of individuality and force of character will be constantly entering other professions where the rewards for labor are higher. BYSTANDER ON CURRENT EVENTS. SCHOOL HOUSES. It may seem to many that during the last two or more years the Farmer's, Advocate has said enough along the lines of advice to farmers to breed more but only good horses. It does, seem, however, at this time, that we are not yet quite awakened to the real situation. A glance at almost any district shows that good horses are not plentiful, and the alarming feature is that good sound draft brood mares are indeed scarce. Were one to go through any dUtriet of the country compara- tively few good, sound, valuable horses between four and seven years old would be found; the fact is, many farmers are doing their work with old, unsound horses, and in a few cases with some three and four year olds True, some of the older mares are raising foals, but comparatively few farmers are in a position to raise enough for their own use, to say noth. ing of preparing to meet the improving market demand. The reasons for this are easy to understand; horses could be bought cheaper than they could be raised, and among those that would bring a fair price were the breeding mares. The result; is just a repetition of hiistory-the depression caused largely by an illdirected overproduc- tion of inferior horses brought its own cure. Inferior, no-purpose trtuffig no longer raised, the $5 service fee mong- rel-bred stallion has been castrated, and we, in a sense, have to commence again with too few of the really good foundation stock. It might be a good thing for the future of our hotmrbreed. ing should the Government step in and by legislation enact; some safe- guard by inspection that would avoid the g oat loss entailed by such indie. criminate breeding as was followed some eight or fifteen years ago. In place of this, however, we have the experience of the past, which should guide us in using only the best pure- bred sires obtainable on all the good mares of the same or similar breeding at our command. Mr, E, E, Sheppard is of opinion the war between the United States and Spain will give Canada a fine oppor- tunity to extend her trade with Mexico and the South American republics, as United States shipping will not be safe in the Gulf and South Atlantic waters, and there is a good deal of sympathy. There is a. demand for Canadian hun. ber and tiah, as well as machinery, and various kinds of manufactures, which have been heretofore supplied by the United States. For two reasons, all the good mares left in the country should be bred this season: One, for tself-preservation, as farmers need these young horses as soon as grown to do their farm work, and exporters will need them to keep up the foreign demand, which should not be lost sight of, tut should be cul. tivated and provided for. There is no danger of a glut of good horses in four, five or ten years. Many of the mares are old, and as some have not bred for four or five years, a large proportion will never breed again. The aim should be to breed large, good horsr s, and when the foal has arrived feed and care for him well, and thus grow him to his full oapiurify,insstead of a dwarfed chunk of 1,300 to 1,100 pounds, when he might have been made to reach 1,600 in salable form. When orthodox belief has been dis. carded, when the story of the Fall of Adam has become a beautiful parable, when revelation means nothing but discovery, when the Bible is declared to be not a book but a library of sixty- six books cutout of a mass, most of which must have perished, when its infallibility is almost contemptuously rejected, when the church is told that she will discover in evolution a more human and divine Christ, it is surely surprising to be told that what we are traveling toward is not an overthrow of the ancient faith, but its establish- ment and maintenance. Where can be the use of juggling with orthodox names when orthodoxy has been utter- ly renounced. The position of Bishop Sullivan and other old-fashioned cham- pions of orthodoxy is surely more re tional, not to say more honest. An orthodox clergyman said the other day in his wrath that Dr. Lyman Abbott was doing the Devil more service than Colonel Ingersoll. The language of the remark was full bodied, but the speak- er may not have been far wrong in thinking that the battering-ram was less destructive than the mine. He at all events could not be wrong in think- ing that a Revelation which was not infallible or divine, bat a mere pro- duct of the human mind, in which, as in other products of the human mind, truth was mingled with falsehood and human criticism was required to sep- arate them from each other, would be an uncertain light for the feet and lamp for the paths of men. The Farmer and Horse-Breeding. evolution. It is hoped that many farmers will take advantage of the favorable rail- road rates during the present week and visit the Toronto Horse Show, where the types to seek to produce can be seen of all breeds and classes. Saddle horses and those for heavy harness carriage purposes will be especially in evidence, as well as draft and road types, besides military remounts, brought out in perfection of form. imply that the Deity was subject: Seekers after gold are often disappointed.

(Farmex‘s Advocate) to 4 We hear a good deal of criticism in regard to the amusement and enter- tainment furnished by some associa- tions. That some amusement must be furnished will be granted, but the questionable character of some of the performances admitted to the fair grounds is working disastrously to the associations themselves. These “shows” cater to a low taste, and the greater the attempt to satisfy such degenerate notions of people regarding amuse- ments, the greater will be the evil,until agricultural fairs shall have fallen into disrepute, and patronage from farmers will be checked, if not wholly with- drawn. I believe if the educational features of our fairs were made more prominent by the offieisle, it would tend to solve the question of entertainment for the people attending the fair. Each day’s program should be carefully arranged and promptly carried out ; bulletin boards or printed programs or both should inform the visitors of the differ- ent attractions worthy of their atten- tion. The tshow-ring, as managed at many fairs, is one of the weakest features of the whole management; yet it is often possible to make it, and it ought to be made, one of the favorite attractions. This leads to some suggestions re- garding the premium lis‘s, character of exhibits and mr‘hod of awards. Most societies are not willing to put more money into the premii u. list, but by careful revision of the p.8560b list much better exhibitions could be secured and satisfaction to honest exhi- bitors given, and this is particularly true of live-stock in all its classes. The constant aim of the fair association should be to improve the live-stock in the locality where the fair is held as well as the fair exhibit itself. This can be best brought about by having the animals all judged by men who are not interested in animals except as true merit is recognized in their conforma- tion and type, Hitherto prizes have been awarded at many of our fairs by local men who very possibly had some exhibitors to favor and some to punish, or perhaps were not at all qmslified to select meritorious animals, however honest their intentions may have been. Perhaps for three years such men have acted as judges, and the same animals have been inspected by them each year, no one of them getting more than one first premium, because each man is a self-made standard by which he worked, and possibly none of them were correct. Under such circum- stances the exhibitors are constantly at a loss to know which animals are really worthy of rewards. The man with ordinary stock seeking to improve his animals year by year is, by such a sys- tem of awards, kept continually in the darkas to his bestinterests as a pro- gressive breeder. Other tsesooiationss also could render service, if they would send out a list of judges qualified to do meritorious work in the fruit and vegetable, the domestic and dairy departments. Ex. perience has proved the wisdom of such a movement in many csses where the expense of such judges has even been a saving, by disqualifying articles entered for premiums which in no way were worthy of consideration. Further- more, many of the men selected for this work can be used in more than one class, making a. saving to the so- eieties.---F. A. CONVERSE. in Country Gentleman. Agriculture could receive a great benefit at the hands of fair associations if they would strive to make every ex- hibit more educational in its character. For instance, exhibitors should be re- quired to give the methods employed in growing and making the articles on exhibition. It is of no special adsran. tage to a man to know that some one has taken a. premium over him in a certain class unless he knows some- thing of the conditions which made it possible for his competitor to take the premium, providing always that com- petent judges do the work. In order to select men capable of acting as expert live-stock judges, the New York State Breeders' Association has appointed a committee to provide a list of expert judges to be recom- mended to the various secretaries of fair associations, hoping that a more uniform system of work can be in- augurated which will be to the benefit of the visitors, txhibitors and fair as- soc'ations themselves. This committee will select only men capable in their line of going into the ring, and not only picking out the superior animals, but, if desired, pointing out wherein such animals excel, which would be an interesting object-lesson for all desirous of familiarizing themselves with the good qualities of farm stock. V Such a system of awards would not only benefit stockmen, but I believe would have a. tendency to make a. fair more interesting to all, and possibly might enable the management to eli- minate some of the attractions which now are working harm to the best in- terest of our fairs. Last year the ex- periment was tried by the breeders' as- sociation, and some fairs employed the experts recommended, with results: very satisfactory indeed. We hear much said these days con- cerning our agricultural fairs, with re- gard to their legitimate purposes and benefits to the farmers. The purpose of every fair association should be recrea- tion and amusement fer the farmer and his family, by affording opportunity to visit their neighbors and friends, and at the same time to illustrate by the exhibition of crops and cattle the ne- cessity of growing better vegetables, fruit and live-stock.

Next on the order paper was a kin. dred measure, to incorporate the Supreme Grand Lodge of the Sons of England Benefit Society. SUPERINTENDENT OF INSURANCE OBJECTS. Objection was taken to the bill by Mr. Fitzgerald, Superintendent of In- surance, on the ground that the society did not desire to put up a de- posit of $50,000, as provided by the Insurance Act of 1895, and contrary, also, to the provision of that Act. The Foresters, be said, desired to do sick btmefit insurances. Discussion Of Great Interest to These Organizations. Ottawa, May 5.--A discussion of greatinterest to the thousands of mem- bers of fraternal organizuione through- out Canada took place at the meeting of the Banking and Commerce Commit- tee yesterday morning. It arose on the bill to incorporae the subsidiary High Court of the Ancient Order of Forest- ere. He stated that Parliament had incor- porated the ICE. with the powers now asked by the A.O F , but in 1896 Parliament had amended the I.O.F bill in order to make the best of a' bad bargain. Mr. Fitzgerald stated that nearly all these fraternal organimtions charged rates which were too low for properly conducting insurance business. He made the announcement, which will probably surprise memb.rs of the I 0.F, throughout Canada, that at the next Supreme Court meeting of that body, it was the intention to increase the rates almost; to the extent of doubling them. It might be that the rates would affect existing policies, and certainly they would apply to new policies. The A OF. rates, he said, were better than those of most other friendly societies, so far as the members who had joined since 1894 were concerned, but, despite this fact, the rates were 20 per cent. less than would enable the society fairly to meet their liabilities. He con- cluded by suggesting that the whole question of friendly society legislation should be dealt with by a general bill to be introduced next session. Mr. Fielding and Sir Louie Davies urged the withdrawal of the two bills, but Mr. Clarke thought the two socie- ties, having hone to the trouble of preparing their legislation, should get their charters, but with a clause in- serted in both bills making them sub- ject to the provisions of any legislation which might be enacted by Parliament hereafter. The superintendent replied that the aasebsof the society amounted to $2,750- 000, while the amount insured was $154,000,000. Mr, Haggsrb asked Mr. Fitzgerald for the presqnb staftus of the} , ' ' ' I was running down in health and my weight fell off from 175 to 150 pounds. Prescriptions did me but little good. My trouble was called nervous dyspepsia. I reaorted to Hood's Sarsaparilla and after taking five bottles I was greatly benefited. I feel as well now as ever in my life, and have increased in flesh so that I now weigh 177 pounds. I am well known in this part of the country, having followed my profession, that ot a violin musician for the last 26 years. I gladly tell my friends what Hood’s Sarsaparilla has done for me. Before I began taking the medi- cine I did not have any ambition, but now all is changed and my dyspeptic trouble perfectly cured.” JAMES R. MURRAY. Mr Haggarb said it would be a terri- ble thing if any of these societies were to go to smash, and be quite concurred with the suggestion that Parliament should legislate in the matter of fixing the rates.
