The thousands of Retormers who attended the Demonstration and Picnic in the Exhibition grounds last Saturday, must have had their most sanguine expectations fully realized. The day was fine, the sports were good, and the speaking was excellent, It is estimated that fully 6,000 people were on the grounds, and every one seemed to enjoy the very excellent and varied programme which had been prepar- ed tor the day. Many of the con- tests, such as toot-racing and bicycle races were keen and exciting, but the enthusiasm of the crowd did not reach the climax till East and West York laced each other in a tug-cf- war. In the second trial it might Well he said the contestants on either side made “a long pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether." At the close of the games the prizes were presented to the lucky winners by Mrs. (Hon) Alex. Mackenzie. The speaking which took place in the large annex building was a rare treat, and at various times the ora- tors were enthusiastically cheered. Mr. Peter Ryan, the popular Presi~ dent of the Toronto Reform Asso- ciation, opened the meeting, and after a few remarks called upon Sir Richard Cartwright to occupy the chair. The president expressed his regret that‘the Hon, Alex. Macken- zie was not able to be present, but was glad‘to see that his estimable wifewas on the platform‘ to grace the proceedings of the‘ day. The applause at the mere mention ofor. Mackenzie's name .was‘ enough to convince all within hearing that he will ever retain aLwarrn placelin the breasts 011 the Reformers of this spunky}, \Vith the outside of the High School building painted, as well as the plcltet fence in front, the place would present quite an attractive appearance, and might be the means of drawing;r some pupils who other- «wise would drilt to other schools. And when the committee are mak- ing repairs it would be well to put some protection around the trees which are. planted on both sides and the trout of the play-ground. No doubt the pupils who assisted in planting the maples will endeavor to take good care of them, but where nearly two hundred pupils play to- gether it is too much to expect the tender saplings to escape uninjured. As will be seen by reterring to the minutes of the last School Board meeting, the Committee of Manage- ment are empowered to make the necessary Improvements around the High School buildings, during the summer holidays. We all desire to see the trustees move slowly and cautiously in expending money, nevertheless there are times when a few dollars spent judiciously will pay a good interest. In our opinion the committee would be Justified in giving the outside of the school building a coat of paint. It is one of the institutions of which our vil- lagers justly feel proud, and even painting the front ot the building would greatly add to its appearance. It is true pupils can get up thelr mathematics and other studies in a dingy room, yet pleasant surroundâ€" ings have a good deal to do in moulding a child’s character. \Vhere everything is kept neat and tidy, scholars will learn to be neat and tidy also, whereas shabby buildings and surroundlngs will have an oppo- site efleet.

As might be expected he dealt principally with the Separate and French Schools. The former he showed to be so completely imbedded in the constitution that it would be impos- sible to remove them; and contend- ed that the only thing for the gov- ernment to do was to make them as efficient as possible for the educat- ing of Roman Catholic children. In reference to the French schools, which had been instituted in the time of the late Dr. Ryerson, he proved conclusively that everything possible was being done to encour- age the teaching of English, and tullv convinced his hearers that it was a mistaite to imagine that the French language could be obliterat- ed from the programme. There had been a vast improvement made in the last few years, and he felt satis- fied that a concilatory policy would be more effective than any drastic measures. The French in the east- ern part of the province were not to be despised. They were Canadians and it was wrong to regard them as aliens. The attack on the socalled French schools at the present time be regarded as a political dodge,and was one which would not commend itself to the fair-minded electors of this province. ‘ The demonstration and picnic was in every particular a success, and the many who availed themselves of the privilege of attending will long remember with pleasure their day’s outing. Hon. A. S. Hardy was the next speaker. He stated that he had not come to give an address, as that task had been assigned to Sir Rich- ard Cartwright and the Hon. G. W. Ross. He referred briefly to Hon. 0. Mowat, Ior whom he was acting as Attorney-General, and congratu- lated the committee on the magnifi- cent demonstration. mg was necessarily limited, many important questions could not be touched upon, but enough was said to convince the most exacting that the Liberal party are stlll steering in the right direction. Sir Richard Cartwright spoke at some length on the desirability of closer trade re- latlons w1th the United States, and his remarks were a sure indication that Unrestricted Reciprocity would be one of the principal planks in the Liberal platform at the next general l election.
