This is comme, we think, to be more and more deeply felt. he time was when It was held that ignor- nee alone was the parent of vice ard rime, and that with univel al intelligence here would be ushered in the unive en} reign el trath and virtue.

lives of his pupils. Hence it follows that

if the people of each section would but

choose the right men as trustees, or if the people and trustees were resolved to have none but teachers of the best stamp, and were willing to pay such teachers, and enough of them, with sufticient liberality to retain their services, the problem would at onee be solved.” Our trustees have been eareful—but

the City Schools in the past month was 1,542.

The numper of pupils enrolled at In somo of the previous months it was larger. The falling off is attributed in part to li grippe, and may in part be owing to the inducements to boys which are found in the delightful and fascinating employment of selling the Island Guardian. However this may be, the percentage of attendance on the part of those enrolled is not satis- factory. Irregularity of attendance seems, in truth, to be the bane of schools in town and country. Qan it be that parents do not appreciate atits value the great boon they obtain The Superintendent of Education says aptly in the course of his excellent report :

‘An average of fifty per cent. simply means that, with a regular attendauce, our Public Schools might be closed for half the year without any educational loss. I tirm- ly believe that this irregularity is the great- est drawback in our educational machin- ery. ‘‘How,” i: may well be asked, ‘‘is the evil to be diminished, or, if possible, eradicated !”

The Superintendent recommends ‘moral suasion,” ** making the schoolroom bright and attractive,” **

We are paying a large proportion of the re- venue of the Province for educational ma-

chinery. We should see to it that the work is done. If only the best boys and the best girls of the most respectable

parents are sent regularly to school, it is manifest that the influence of the schools can have no effect upon our brood of jail birds, and that the main great object sought in the establishment ot our ‘tcom- mon school system” will not be attained. Apart from the salaries paid by the Pro- vincial Government, our Cit y Schools cost the city, in the past year, the tidy sum of

—The nuptials of the Rev. James Simp- son and Miss Maud DesBrisay were cele- brated at St. Peter’s Church at six o'clock this morning. We extend to the Reverend gentleman and his bride the hearty core gratulations of THe EXaMINeR.

—The publication of the lengthy prize lists of our City Schocls, St. Dunstan's College, and the Convert de Notre Dame, necessitated the holding over of a large amount of correspondence and other matter for THE EXAMINER. This accounts for the misapprehension expressed by ‘* Citizan” as to the last published letter of *‘A No License Man.” ‘The reply of the latter to ‘* Citizen’s” second letter appears to-day. Another letter fromthe same gentleman, received to-day, will appear in due course.

—It is hardly necessary to warn the pub- lic against condemning Sir Hector Langevin and Mr. McGreevy until after the whole ease has been heard. To assume that a man is innocent until he is proved to be guilty is a simple principle of British jus-

tics. The reports telegraphed from Ottawa to the Opposition press are largely inaccurate. Indeed, Tue Exam-

INERS correspondent declares that some of the atatements published by The Patriot are absolutely false. If, however, the charges that have been formulated are made out it is clear that beth McGreevy and Langevin must get the Rykert bounce from the Conservative party.

The following extract from a leading ar ticle in the Times of the 13ch will he read with interest by our readers :

«* \Westmirster Abbey yesterday oflered a spectacle which is without precedent in the long and varied aunals of that venerable build- ing. A congregation eminently representative of all ranks and claeses of Englishmen from the Sovereign downwards, assembled to take partiuas lemma service hell ia memory of Nir John Macdonald, and to testify to the strength and sincerity of the sympathy fe It ia ths country with our fellow subjects in Van- ada. Many agreat Knglishiman sleeps within the Abbey, and many & requiem sung within its walls has awakened mournful echoes in the hearts of English speaking peoples beyond the seas, But this is the first time that a yreat sorrow, primarily falling upon our felluw-snbjects abroad, has awakened in the ajather country @ sentiment so strong as to demand and receive expression in the ancient church that is consecrated by 80 many of our proudest associations. Our roll of heroes would be sadly curtailed were we to remove from it the names of those who did their work iu foreign lands and }sid broad and deep the fouadations of Empire on whieh self-governing communities have since based the fabric of their liberties. But the great soldiers and adiministrators whose reward was sesled and perfected by their final eutry into the natioval Pantheon have elways hitherto been the servants of England, directly responsible to the English peop! ; and the cous:ious aim of their work, whatever might be ita iadirect issues, has been to extend the power and add to the greatness of their ja herland. Sir Jobn Macdonald hae primarily labored for the greatness of Canada, has been the devoted servant of the Cenadian people, and has sought at their hands the guerdon of faithful service. It is ia the character of a Canadian statesman that he is now honored and mourned by the people of this country as they have been wont to honour and mourn men whose lives were given te their own service. Because he was « Canadian statesman his bones may not mingle with our illustrious dead, but the service at the Abbey is the outward = sign of a profound conviction that the great Canadian is also a great Raglishman, and that his service to the Domiaion ranks him with the most distinguikhed of those who have served the mother country. Som thing must be allowed tor the exceptional « haracter and abilities of Sir John Macdumald, which would have raised him to au exalted posi*ion wherever his lot might have been cast. There remains, however, in the feelings which his death bas evoked in this country evidence of a seuse of solidarity between this country and Canada which certainly differs in degree if vot in kind from what would have been manifested a generation ago. We ars aware that there are on both sides of the Atlantic persons who ridicule the ides that the relations between England and Canada can be regvlated by anything but self-interest in its crudest and most commercial form. They appear, how- ever, to fall into the mietake which has brought euch discredit upon the older form of pelitical economy. Individually and in the

mass men are beyond question large’y governed by considerations of immediate

interest. But they are not exclusively so are, may fali into mistakes not less gross, though less generous, than those which follow from ignoring self-interest altogether.’
