Both political parties in Canada are committed to building this railway, the only question upon which there is room for division is the way in which it shall be built. One portion of the Reform Party clamor for its construction as a Govern-- ment work ; another party wish it to be built by a Company, but that company must be controlled and regulated by Parliament. The GLOBE calls for the government to prosecute the work immediately, while Blake demands a halt. All parts and» sec- tions of the Grits are agreed upon one thing, however, and that is opposition to the Government in some way. The recent visit of Sir John McDonald and other Minâ€"- isters to London, has been successful, so far, that they have induced a syndicate to take the road, as it now stands, and com-- plate the work, and run it when completed. In return for this the company will receive alarge grant of land, etc., We are de. cidedly in favor of allowing the road to be constructed by a. company. We do not fear that they will retard the settlement of the North West by holding on to the land. The whole history of railway budding in the United States has shown that railway companies are the most enterprising bodies BIEHMDND HILL POST UPPIBB Going South, West and East, includ- ing Maple, Thoruhill.

TEEFY We do not, and indeed, never did object to the Reform papers and their supporters opposing the National Policy, or any other policy adopted by the Con- servative party, as long as they argued honestly and fairly in support of their own views, or against the policy of their opponents. We have no fault with those who do not support the N. P., but we certainly do object to papers or per- sons falsifying or misleading others with regard to the effect of this policy. It is a very bad sign when the opponents of the N. P. have to descend to such practices. If it was working wholesale ruin and slaughter upon Canadian inâ€" dustries, there would be no more trouble in stating facts and clearly showing that such was the case. We are not among those who ht the National Policy would ma y person in Canada healthy, we, 1y or happy, immediately it was adopted, neither did we think it would fail to prove beneficial to Canaâ€" dian trade. It has now been in force ibr a year or so, and we have seen no reason, as yet, to change our views. If our contemporary, or any other journal can show us that the N. P. has proven injurious to Canadian trade,- to Cana- dian prosperity,â€"â€"we will frankly admit that we are in error. We admit that as yet, some industries may not have become so largely developed as many persons expected, We admit that there maybe aslight extra cost to. the i? ‘porters ofljertain goods, but we clai that the National Policy has, on the whole, greatly benefitted every class in the country, and will continue to do so, in a much larger degree, the longer it- is in force. But when we see journals, the editors of which cannot but know better, exclaiming week after week, that the country is sinking lower and lower, that it cannot become prosperous until the N. P. is removed, when we see these papers attributing every business failâ€" ure, every trifling miscarriage of bus-â€" iness afl‘airs solely to the N. P., we must exclaim that they present a sorry sight, and furnish a strong argument against themselves. We have seen papers do this, without the slightest en- quiry into the facts, yes, when it was actually well known that the man who failed, had failed several times before the N. P. was thought of,â€"still it was the National Policy which caused it. .lf'a man without management, or the slightest capacity for a certain business, meets with a reverseâ€"there’s nothing else to blame but the N. P. Does this appear reasonable ‘? Did men never fail before the N. P. came in ? Yes, but such argument only shows to what desperate straits some papers are driven in their elforts to turn the public against this policy. And our contemporary is guilty ofjust such small and despicable actions, as nearly every paper issued clearly shows. THURSDAY. SEPT., 23, 1880.

The majority of scholars, it may he, know only to well how not to learn what their masters wish to teach, but there are always some who take these things seriously, and who either through docility of dis- position, or through emulation, strain their faculties to meet the d ands made upon them. *Thcsc, have t. .e‘fiatf‘ doubt, do in many cases sustain 'more or less injury through over-study, through ill-directed mental efforts. The education of the young should follow broad and simple lines. Much exercise of the memory in the mere learning of names cannot be beneficial. Much ex- ercise of thought upon matters purely abstract is wholly unsettled to the inâ€" tellect of any child under the age of puberty, In connection with all sub- jects of study, certain simple definitions must be committed to memory ; but these should be made as few and as simple as possible. Appeal should rather he made to the outward faculties of sight, hearing and touch, and the facul- ties of judgement and comparison should be exercised chiefly in connection with these' The great effort of the teacher should be to familiarize the scholar with the world in which he lives, to bring before him vivid illustrations of the working of natural laws, and to show him how largely human happiness deâ€" pends upon the degree in which men adapt themselves to their physicial suro roundings. If these things are careâ€" fully taught the reflective faculties will, in due time, find all the exercise they require, and will work more healthfully than ifstimulated bv abstract studies into too early activity. If there is one study more than another that is illâ€" adapted to childish minds it is the study of grammar as contained in some of the most approved of modern text-books We read in one of these that there are eight kinds of pronounsâ€"Personal, de- monstrative, relative, interrogative, in- definite, distributive, reflective and pos- sessive, and that these are found (I) under substantive and (2) under adjecâ€" tive forms. And children of from 10 to 12 years of age are asked to learn this barbarous stuff. A new horror has moreover been added to grammar, in the form of what is called analysis, the most abstract process that could poss1bly be imagined, and one which a rational edu- cator should shudder to introduce to young children. If education were what it ought to be as regards matter and methods there would be fewer dull- ards at school, and fewer children forced into unhealthy precocity. Much might be said of the excessive use of examinâ€" ations and the unwrse extent to which‘ emulation or rivalry is appealed to, but we postpone these matters to a. subseâ€" , quent occasion.” ‘ in advertising and offering inducements for settlers. The vast tracks of uncultivated iu the neighboring Republic which have been converted into homesteads, and fields of grain, in this way, clearly show that, as a matter of business alone, it is naturally the best course the railway companies can pursue, to have their land settled as rapidly as possible, and especially so where they have millions of acres to settle. A number of the more Liberal papers take this view, and we fail to see why they should not do so. If Sir John has made anything like a reasonable bargain, it is much better for old Canada and the north west too. The burden of building this railway as a public work, was fast becoming too great for Canada, and Ontario will have good reason to be grateful to Sir John and his colleagu- es for removing the onerous burden. The terms ofthe bargain have not been communicated to the public yet, and the MAIL takes the view that they should not be made known until Parliament meets. But what good reason can be given for with- holdiigig the terms. If they are calcu- lated to please the conntiy, by all means let the countiy know them at once. It they are withheld it gives grounds for sup- posing that there is Oscmething which the public should not know too soon. 'Ihere is no reason, as yet, to suppose that the barmiin 13 not a leasonable one Such be- ing the case the Government can rely on the sup port and approval of the country. “In the opinion of the learned and worthy doctor, children of tender years are subjected to an amount and kind of intellectual training wholly unsuited to their condition of physical dcvelopement, their brains are over-wrought; and not only are the objects of education defeat- ed in the eufceblement of the minds, which by rational exercise would have been strengthened, but the seeds are sown of the most serious and deplorable physical maladies. There is a general opinion abroad that our present educational system is not only becoming too expensive, but is also positively injurious. physically to young children. owing to the intricacy of' the studies required of them and the variety of subjects with which they are crammed at one and the same time. We are pleas- ed to see that Dr Grant, of Ottawa, one of the leading physicians of the con- tinent, has sounded a warn- sng note, concerning which the Montre- al Star has the following 2â€"â€" FALL FA IRS, 1880.

D. 1879, and whereas the assessors by mistake did omit to enter the same in the assessâ€" ment roll, although requested by Mr Banks, agent, to do so at the time the assessors received their roll, and where- as the said villagc Lot was assessed in the year 1879 to the said Thomas Banks, therefore the clerk is hereby in- structed to enter the said half acre upon the non-resident collectors roll to be re- turned to the County Treasurer and set the value thereof at eighty dollars, and that the seal of the corporation be attached to this resolution.-â€"Carried. Coun Redditt introduced By Law No 79, which was read a first, second and third time and passed. The Council adjhurned to meet in the Council Chamber on Monday, the 25th October next. at 8 p. m. The success attending the Toronto Exhibition has been greater than even the most. sanguine supporter ever exâ€" pected. On Thursday last the amount taken at the gates was larger than dur- ing the visit of H R H Princess Louise On Friday last the crowd far exceeded that of any former day, over 60,000 visitors being present. So great was the crush that the turnstiles were abandoned and the quarters collected in hats. The buildings were crowded all day. Patterson & Bro made a grand display of agricultural machinery. We noticed the reaper owned by Mr Russell for some years, which has out several hunâ€" dred acres of grain and never needed re- pairing. The Toronto Reaper &.

Fully 10,000 people watched the parade,which was led off by the cattle in their difl'erent classes. After the cattle, the horses made the tour of the ring. headed by the diminu- tive ponies. All looked well, and it was the universal opinion that a better lot of horses had not been shown in Toronto. In the stock department Mr Marsh‘s sheep, and Mr. Russell’s cattle and sheep attracted large crowds of visitoxs, and the owners took a large number of prizes.

They then adjourned to the hotels,where refreshments were provided by Mr Duncumb; A few friends partook of a recherche luncheon at the residence of the happy Councillor. The usual toasts were given and responded to in a happy manner. THRESHING MACHINEâ€"There is some very tall knowing being done just now about threshing machines. Lackxe has a horseâ€"power, and Wise has a steamer. Mr J Eyer is Willing to back the horse-powerfor $100 to do more and better work than the steamer. Wise thrashed 1000 bushels in four hours and a half, at Geo Baker’s, 3rd Con. Markham, last week. Wise thinks his machine can stand $100, and he is \prepared to match the horseâ€"power any {-time, so if bothrparties mean business. DANGEROUS WORKâ€"On Friday last some person or persons on one of the back streets, on the west side of Yonge, were amusing themselves with a shot- gun. One of the charges was fired in the direction of Mr B Redditt’s house, and the slugs out two or three limbs off a young pear tree, under which his little children had been sitting, only a few minutesbefore. As it was the slugs passed over their heads, but they would doubtless have been seriously. if not fat- ally injured, if' they had been standing erect. This is very dangerous work, and those who indulge in such careless shoot- ing are liable to get into trouble; Stationery, em, etc., for sale at the HERALD store: FUNERALâ€"The funeral of the late Mrs. James Weidman took place on Tuesday last, and was attended by a number of friends and acquaintances.
