that the township of Markham will produCe her usual quantity of grain, and the sample will be much better than that of last year. The same may be said of Vaughan, except in the northern part, where it suflered from drought. It is a rare thing to hear of a poor potato field. and roots generally are good. Hay was a light crop the province over. The crop bulletins .01" the Provmcial Bureau of Industries will be issued about the end of August, when peo- ple can get a pretty correet idea or Toronto the averagegenerally speak- ing, is good, and the sample is ex- cellcul. But in the east, more es- pecially :in the Ottawadistrict, farm< xers are gloomy, and the yield will be much below the average. Coming nearer home many people contend that the former will in time be re- duced to a two-master school. But with other schools we have nothing to do, our work is at home. We have every reason to be proud of the school in our midst. \Ve have only to look around us to point to scores of men holding prominent positions, men who are an honor to their coun- try. and who owe their education to Richmond Hih's High School. Let every citizen feel a pride in assisting so worthy an institution. No apology is necessary in again referring to a question in which all classes of people are so much inter- ested. 'Vth THE LIBERAL last made mention of the prospects it held that an average crcp would re- sult from Spring sowino. \Vith the last heavy showers of rain the pros-' pects are still brighter, but cheermg as this may be, several counties here and there have suffered severely from the continued dry weather. \Vest of those already in existence cannot be denied, but Richmond Hill with a large sweep of country on all sides should be able to hold her own with any in the county. Newmarket and Aurora being only Iour miles apart, both w111'~suffer, and the chances are During the past tew weeks the impresston seems to have got abroad that the Board of Education purpos- cd reducing the salary of the Prin- cipalship of our High School for the coming year. \N’e are glad to state that the prompt actlon of the Board at its last meeting, instructing the Secretary to advertise tor a Head Master at the same salary as at present, namelv $1000 per annum, does not bear out this impression. It is true the rate levied on the vill- age tor High School purposes this year Wlll be high, but the Board wisely conceived the idea that to re- ‘ duce the salary would be to en- ‘ danger the efficiency of the school. It should also be borne in mind that two-fifths of the amount to be raised this year properly belongs to last year’s assessment. For the past ten years, at least, Richmond Hill High School has maintained an en- viable positton among the education- al institutions of this province, and, with a. good staff of teachers and a watchful Board 0t Trustees, there is no reason why it should not prosper in the future as it has in the past. As We have said on former occas- ions, the County Council committed a grave error in recommending the establlshment of three new High Schools in a county already well supplied with educational advanta- ges. But as the deed has been ac- complished nothing remains for us to do.but to make the best of our situation. That the opening of the new ’schools will be detrimental to RICHMOND HILL.

Of this I know nothing, but am satisfied they conducted themselves in a gentlemanin manner while on the lacrosse field, as in fact the Torontos always have done so in visiting our village. In conclusion he suggests that the To- rontos “ put on the reinainimv six of the team that compose the Champions of the World and then play them a game, and if they do not find their betters they will their equals in the Young Canadians.” This is idle talk and if encouraged might ‘ endanger the friendship of two clubs 1 which have always worked in harmony.
