It is the duty of every grown-up person to endeavor to teach the boys and girls to be respectful at all times, and particularly to strangers. If this were done it might often save them from getting into trouble. Only a few weeks ago one of our citizens received an ugly infuriated passer-by who had been interfered with by some 0fthe boys. On Monday at- ternoon a number ot the small boys irritated and annoyed a couple of strangers until it was feared the latter might,througii anger, harm some of the youtmul offenders. It can scarcely be expected that the younger members 01 the population will be respectful towards strangers if they are told by grown-up 0n- lookers to “pelt them with stones." The most that could be said against the strangers on Monday was that were endeavoring to play wind instru- stab from an they music on a couple 0t ments. A word now and again from our Village Fathers, when mis- conduct comes under their notice, would go a long way in correcting the boys' habits and manners. The Council should not think that build- ing side-walks is their only duty. There is a Inove among the mem- bers in both Houses at Ottawa to vote themselves an additional iii- demnity for this session to the a- mount ot $500, making tor the mem- bers of Parliament, $1,500 tor the session. Ifthis be done it will a- mount in the aggregate to about $145,000. \\'heu such a suggestion is made in the House there is no difficulty in iorining a coalition, whereas in all other matters it seems that the “Blues are always against the Butt-s.” In this question of sal- ary it is said that many of the mem- bers on both sides have signed a round robbivi in favor ot the ad- vance. Those who have done so may expect their action to be critt- cizecl as it has already been con- demned by both sides of the press. Before an election takes place it is a common occurrence to see a dozen or more planks in a candidate's platform, but never have we noticed one advocating an increase in the ;:ideninity from $1000 to $1500. The Public Schools in rural sections reâ€"opened on Monday last after the holidays. In incorporated villages, towns and cities the High and Public Schools will Iecommence duties on Monday, the last day of this month. It is very important that pupils should be in their places at the re opening, as much confusion is often caused by entering after the classes have been formed. This is particularly the case with candidates preparing for examinations. and now applies to the Public School as well as to the High School, as in future the Entrance Examinations will be held only once a yearâ€"â€" namely, at midsummer. Many a candidate loses an examination by a little carelessness at the beginning of the term. â€"â€".â€"____.__. It the Council expects the Village constable to assert his rightlul auttiority at public gatherings they should get for him a suit, a cap, or some other badge of office. At laâ€" crosse matches, for instance, when excitement runs high, it is often necessary for him to tell strangers to move from certain positions. It the constable be dressed in civilian’s clothes the strangers may think they have as good a right as he to stand in certain places, or do as they see hitn do. \\'hen people are told to “inove on," as it were, it is only right that they know from whom the orders come. By all means let the Councd provide sozne article of dress by which our constable may be known while on duty. It is only justice to him as Well as to those who are expected to obey his Ct-m- mands.

To the Editor of Tina Idltli‘llAT. : SIR,â€"(hir Civic Holidays are not what they should be. Some indiVidnul takes it. int.» his head :lizit our village ought to have 3 Civic Holiday, Tint idea is per- li-ips suggested by a representative of SUIIIU organization ()I' Hl‘Cllfly “'hOSe members are destrous of an outing with- out the lnssot an rxtl‘a bllnlllt‘SS day. Those who are asked to Sign the requisit- ion do so as a matter (‘f CllSlHllIâ€"‘tt fear of disarranging the 8t3Ult‘1375 plans, or of inditlert-nce, rzttlior llnin because of any particular interest they take in the pro- pnscd holiday. I hitvc no disposition to find fault, With the way in which our Civic Holidays are obtained, but rather with the result when that course is p'lr- Stletl. \Vhen a strong ('l‘giitll’ldllnll goes from home it takes WILII it the best part of the youthful bone and smew of our villuge,lenvmga large number of our ClllZ~3ll3 who have not the means, the privilege, or perhaps the invitation to accompany the L‘XCIH‘SlOIIIStS, to inope at lliilllt', too few to venture on any elfort of general amusement, A Civic Holiday ought to be something more than a day of Cessation from busi- "CBSâ€">3 mere shut up day to give to a few individuals who have the means to excurt :1 chance to give some other town a gztln day, or some distant park the benetit or their presence. It is not for villiges and small towns to imitate large cities in their modes of celebrating their holidays. To cater for the amusement of so many tens of thousands in nu unwieldr ly affair, and as in the recent. “Carnival” in Toronto sometimes an expensive fail- ure. The natural tendency of the many thousands who are pent. up in close streets all the year round is to rush to the country for it draught of frost) air, a blessing to us of daily enjoyment of which we have an abundance of the very best in circulation. Individually or col- lectively we all have the privilege of availing ourselves of cheap excursions whenever they are offered and we Could fix our civic holiday so as to avoid them, but we must not forget to be loyal to our own town. At least once :i year we should concentrate all our ahiliiies and Capabilities in the consideration of the greatest good to the greatest number. Perhaps the best idea of the proper method of spending 21 Civic Holiday In to have What. its name illlpileiâ€"Sullletlllllg in connection with our own town. A . programme iii which all will be interest- ed. old or young, [11211: 01' female, rich or poor, gentle or smiplc, either its spectaâ€" tors, managers or [ici'toriiiers. There is plenty of room for such a day of general umuacinent in our town. Fair day, the 134th of May, is to us it day of business, Dominion Day is utilich for church purposes, so also is Thanksgiving Day. We have no day in our Village when we can all shut. up house and Camp out. Our children are growing up among us, it' they could have a few IlVely Civic Holidays stuck full of fun in their ex- [)el‘lcllut’, they would be rod letter days in their memory when they bend under the l'udpflllb‘lblilllt‘s of later years. Our Itceve and Council have authority to piocluiiii the day to be obscIVcd as a. Ulric Holiday. Could they not exert it little more authority and provide for its better local celebration I An energetic committee of active citiznis could draft up a programme of rusth athletic games with simple prizes attached such as books, vases and articles useful and ornamental such as Would be freely contiihuted from houses, shops and stores, gifts of but little value to the giveis, hut.

Fll‘c brigade and other pI‘UIILBIIILdt s,contesta in lacrosse, football and tugs ot war, trials of speed, strength and activity and a score ol otherazhlctic games could be made to assist in making a. civic holiday a day of hilarity to young and old. And there need he no risk in t‘ie mat ter. \Ve have a. beautiful park in which to gather, with In case of a wet day the Agricultural Hull would accommodate all who needed shelter, with room iii the centre for most of the games. Music such as the village could provide could be biought into requisition. If it was thought proper a small fee of live Cents Could be charged at the gate, so that outsiders as well as villagers could assist in defraying the ex- . pause. This would provide a fund hr the better celebration of the next, making it a permanent affair. Civic Holidays like these would be enjoyed by all the kids, and boys of larger growth Would shake oft a little of their growing stiffness, spread themselves for a hearty laugh and join in the general fun Ci'ijizEN.
