The model bill for the incorporation of electric railway companies, which Hon. Mr. Dryden submitted to the Committee on Railways last week, is intended to form the basis upon which ‘all companies of this nature may in the future obtain incorporation in the Proâ€" vince. The first session of the bill is deroted to & description of the comâ€" pany and its members who are conâ€" stibuted by section 3 a provisional board of directors. The second clause aunâ€" thorizes the company to construct and operate an electric. railway between certain specified points, and to carry The British budget for the first time in many years is going to show a defiâ€" cit for the financial year ending March 25th. £3,000,000 will have to be raised by increased taxation to meet the coming year‘s requirements, ‘The Government will cither have to spend less money or raise more revenue. The feeling runs strongly in favor of spending not lees bus more money in ccuipping warships and strengthening land and sea deâ€" fences in order to maintain the proud position of naval preeminence and commercial superiority England has heid so long. The expenditures on the army and navy next year will probably run up to £48,000,000 or $240,000,000. The London Times in an able article on the subjsct concludes as follows:â€" ‘I6 is mischieyous toencourage the idea that a free breakfast table is the priviâ€" lege of British subjecte like the trial by jury or babeas corpus. . The true policy is to extend the scope ofindirect taxation by the reimposition of the ahilling duty on corn, which was not felt while it was in operation, and which would bring in at present a very large sum. This is one proposed reform. A duty of a halfpeany a pound on sugar, which would bring in some six millions a year, is another. If some such messures are not adopted, we will find ourselves confronted by far more serious financial problems in the imâ€" mediate fature." Corn and sugar duties will not likeâ€" ly be proposed this year. ‘The Ohanâ€" celler of the Exchequer bas announced that he intends to put a tax of an adâ€" ditional shilling per barrel on beer and to reimpose the 6d. per peand on boâ€" bacco, which was withdrawn in 1898. or any part of it along any public highway as may be authorized by the eorporations having julisdiction, subâ€" Ject to the provisions of the electric railâ€" way sct and to any agreements beâ€" ®ween the company and ‘the Councile or road companies interested, power beâ€" iug given to make such agreements subject to the provisions of the electric railway act and the municipal act. Section 4 locates the head office of the company, section 5 prescribes the amount of the capital stock; and sectâ€" fon 6 fixes the the date of the annual! meeting, â€" The number of the board of directors and manner of election is set forth in section T, and the succeeding clause empowers the board to issue bonds up to a specified amount and apâ€" plies cortain sections of the electric railway act. Section 9 provides for thd general application of the electric railway act, and the next and last clause revokes the powers granted unâ€" lese the railway is commenced and comâ€" pleted within a specified time.

It puts all the muscles of the body in play.

HIGH §CHOOL RDUCATION, The report has this to say upon the snbject of the diffasion of high school education :â€" "When the high school syatem of the Province was first insuâ€" gurated its primary object was to preâ€" pare pupils for the learned profesaions, and especially for the university. While in that respect our high schools amply fuifil their original purpose, in later years the course oudue.tiou which they provide has m considered a dosirable qualification for various other pursuits in life. Many young men in preparing for mercantile life or for ag riculture take advantage of the high school, perhaps not so much because of the direct training which it gives for their intended calling as for the supâ€" erior culture which it provides. In 1872 486 high school pupile, when they finished their high school education,en= tered mercantile life. In 1897 the numâ€" ber had increased to 1,368. Similarly 300 high school pupils lefé the high school for agricultural pureuite, and is 1897 1,153 pupils pursued a similar tion has been adopted by the Province of Nova Scotia and by the Protestant section of the Council of Pablic Inâ€" struction for the Province of Qaebee. It bas also been approved by the Eiuâ€" oation Dspartment for this Province, and will appear on the calender of the department for 1899. It is to be hoped that the inspectors and teachers of Onâ€" tario will render the day memorable in the history of the school children from year to year, as a day in which the progress of the empire generally, and the Dominton of Canada in particular, will be considered, and ‘in which the|Canada, to which the question was 80hâ€"| government Will Institute Cormpetiâ€" security of the liberties of our people, | witted, comprized 1.93?4.849 voters, at 4| _ on in the ’l%loplo':o Sc: v:..: arising from our relation to the empire, | of that number lesa than 25 per cent, Money Asked for the Purpose. will be i.;r.gd upon the minds J‘“.. or a tr‘As over oneâ€"filth affirmed their| â€" London, March 6 â€"The weie ma «+ children of this Province.
