The expiry of the street railway franchise aver the streets of Waterloo held by the city of pmummu«msmm~ way Commission of that place to make certain mprovermments and extensions to the present system, has made necessary the execution of a new franchise. ‘The terms and corditions have been agreed upon and the byâ€"law embodying them which was recently passed by the Waterâ€" loo Council, will be submitted to the electors ‘of Waterloo on Saturday,‘ April 21s%; for ratificaâ€" With the paving of King Street this year ;tmm William to Union Streets, work on which will be commenced within the next few weeks, it was necessary. that the proposed doubleâ€" tracking of the street railway on the main thoroughfare of the town be done now, hence the need of immediate action in the matter of the street railway franchise. Mr. Fielding, Minister of Finance, in introâ€" ducing the amendments, said that the proposed changes were not final in their character and hearings would be held before the Committee on Banking and Commerce with a view to havâ€" ing them thoroughly considered. No provision is made in the proposed amendments for public inspection of banks as ials, He was aiso afraid that public inspection might, in the public mind, be confused with a guarantee.

It is pointed out that it is well nigh imâ€" possible to expect a $2,600,000 hotel, the value placed on the Chateau Laurier and its equipâ€" ment, to pay in a city of 110,000, the population of Ottawa. Here is another problem which the new management of the National Railways will have to cope with as naturally it will be its desire to eliminate, wherever .possible, serious leakâ€" ages of the public moneys. 7 The electors of Waterloo should therefore have no hesitancy in giving their assent to the byâ€"law as it 1s desirable and necessary, with the changes contemplated, to have a definite arâ€" rangement between the two municipalities in the form of a franchise explicity setting forth the terms and conditions upon which it will be operated in the town of Waterloo.

The surprising .statement was contained in recent cables from England that more Britâ€" ish emigrants are going to the United States than to all the British Dominions combined. One of the reasons suggested is that not only is the United States strong enough to be proof against aggression from eitheér Europe or Asia but has determined that never again will she be.drawn into the conflicts of the old world. _ $1,000,000,000 is mvolved in the law suit about to be tried in Washington in connection with the claims of American citizens forrdamâ€" ages and losses caused by Germany during the World War. Hearings of selected test . cases will begin early this month. ~ $ With the thorough discussion that the Act is receiving the government will have the beneâ€" fit of the various views presented and will be in a better position to frame legislation. which will more efficiently serve the educational needs of both the rural and urban districts of the province. 6000 The Adoléscent School Act which Hon. Dr. Cody was instrumental in putting on the Statâ€" ute books of Ontario while Minister of Eduâ€" cation, has been prominently brought toâ€"the public attention by a bill introduced in the Onâ€" tario Legislature by W. H. Casselman, M. P. P., providing for its repeal.‘ Although Premier Drury expressed himself as opposed to repeal ing the Act, the present Minister of Education, Hon. Mr. Grant, has annourniced the Governâ€" ment‘s intention of amending the legislation, particularly with regard to the application of the Act in the rural districts. â€" The coal, steel and iron resources of the Ruhr district make it one of the richest reâ€" gions in the world..

In the dried and evaporated fruit industry, the standard of Canadian evaporated apples in particular, with the Government‘s enâ€" couragement and aid, ‘has been raised to an equality with the best.in the world. ~This is shown.by tht fact that during the war Canada Ibs. of evaporated apples called for from Amerâ€" ica by Great Britain.~ . f La _.._â€"__-_-â€"A__â€"â€"-._â€"-â€"-â€"â€"-â€"-â€"â€"-â€"- hy | ~ THE ADOLESCENT SCHOOL ACT P cafiin aiirrarecasrenmerte mavaainente ivaucrelorasarargeraemiadtaceigee coenivicccans mss NP In ‘considel'ing this problem, the fundaâ€" mental principle underlying this reform sponâ€" sored by Hion. Mr. Cody, must not be lost sight of, namely that the children of Ontario are entitled,to a school educatron until they reach their sixteenth birthday unless they have passed their matriculation examination. The principle should<he applicable to both.the ryral and urban dist:%;;though it is contended that the training adolescents in the rural districts calls for methods entirely different from those applitd in urban centres, including the inauguration of winter courses that would leave the boys free for farm work from April to November instead of obliging them to take a yearâ€"round training. It is pointed out that the Act has been much weakened by. the decision to allow local districts local option in the enforcing of the Act and that the easy way in which adolâ€" escents are allowed exemptions under the Act, largely amounting to individual preference, is another weakness. The conviction is expressed rth‘at/while the province is not demanding the abandonment of the legislation there is an urgent call from rural Ontario for the amendment of some of its proâ€" visions so that it can be applied to rural schools. It is contended that there is something wrong with an Act that isâ€"allowed to remain a dead letter with reference to nearly oneâ€"half of the population of the province through its nonâ€" enforcement in the rural districts.
