spring, roadmasters started in to do
good work, but saw the ti-me they
were going to lose" and what they‘
were up against to make good roads
and they left off leaving these dis-‘

hung to it and made a good road,
which they are satisfied can be made
if proper means are provided.
In my next article Duty of Road-

the roads were left in the state they
are in. Also explain the diderence be-_

what vacation will be observed in

system of vacation, makes the duties
of the Bchocl Ir_;;-ccL.r much more

August he is obliged 'to pass through

those that have the Spring and Fall `
vacation. Again in May and Octo- »
ber, the _same has to be done to _
reach those having Midsummer vaca-
tion. This~ system of .vacations in- _
creases the amount ol_'trav_el1lng for
the inspector by at least _one-fourth 1
if not more, to accomplish his work. ‘

cation period for himself, _and surely 1

in October that the trustees of the
district should determine, a Christ-
mas holiday, from the Friday before
Christmas' until the Monday after
New Years, and on Easter holiday
from the Thursday before Easter
Sunday to the Monday week after
Easter, Sunday. 
The advantages fronp such a sys-
tem would be that the system would
he uniform, one teacher would not be
teaching more time than another,
and the Inspectors' work would be
simplified- There, W°!1.19..B9.i3 be °9\,19°1

thus accommodating those -persons

made in what _would otherwise be an
exceedingly long school term without
a break. The pupils would be bene-
fitted by having these two short
Dominion, and in'the United States,
these two short holiday periods are‘

I would suggest that both teachers
and ratepayers of the school dis-
tricts, discuss these proposed changes
in the press. and with the represen-
tntlves of their districts, so that the
mind of the people may'be known by
the authorities when they come to
deal with the question. ' ‘
Other questions that I propose dis-
cussing, if space is granted; are Bup-
plement to Teachers' Salaries; Bon-
uses to Teachers; Pensioning Teach-
ers; Courses of Study for the -Rural
School; Summer Schools_for' Teach-

THE TEACHING PROFESSION.
Teaching is like the work of the
clergyman,` like the work of the art-
-ist, like the work of the healer; it is
a work worth doing in and for it-
self, apart from any concomitant
lucre. We have to put.`up with the
lucre because, otherwise, we should
not be ab1e_ to carry on the teaching,
neither should we be able to fulfil

duct. Putting le ‘ in s nutsiieu, we
may say of e. trade that we do it in
order that we may- earn money; but
