Now.‘Mr.,Editor, these men who have been selected to represent us on the *School Board have to my notion b--en derelechiu their duty. If, instead of having meeting after meeting and doing nothing but quarrel over sites, ~&c., they had gone to work wuh a will and been nuaninwus‘ they might, havehad at this time all the material on ~tha ground at, veryl‘lckle ensLi as On my certain knowl- edg'a nearly a” the nwners of tel .413 in Um. .nculiLy hml volunnnly Qfl‘crcd thnr ce now far the pug-pose»! hauling lrcick, it is that“ the Board of Educatiun do not go to work and have tha site of the old High School cleared up? We have mm a number Inf Citizens walking our streets who would be glad of a few days’ Work at, this time of the~year, ‘who, in a week or so from now, \vlll have plenty of work gardening, d‘cl, and then, as a matter of cnurae, when work is plentiful wages will be high.

[We do not hold omselves responsible for tho opmions of our correspondents.â€"ED.] We do not know What; stand Dr. ’Trudel’s opponent has‘taken on the school question, but true Liberals throughout Ontario will not express deep feelings of regret if they hear of the former’s defeat at; the polls. It is not often that a politician in this Country puts himself in such an unenviable position as that in wlfich Dr. Trudel now finds himself. Dr. Trudel is the Liberal candidate for Champlain, and he is reported as hav- ing given utterance to very illiberal statements'in his canvass for votes. He says that personally he approves of the Laurierâ€"Greenway settlement of the Manitoba school question, he lieving it is the best that could be obtained. _But he goes further and says that if the ablegate from Rome does not approve of the settlement, then as a good Catholic, he (Dr. Trudel) will disapprove of the settle- ment. This goes to show that the Liberal candidate is a Catholic first and a citizen afterwards. Such .a declaration is evidence that some men don’t do their own thinking. ment. Would that be fair? The Sun must: know that such a bill ‘would practically exclude all newspaper men from accepting any position in the gift; of the govern- It would be absurd to tie a man's 'hands at an election who probably only drew a few dollars from his position, and the Ontario Govern- ment did right to vote the measure down. The bill referred to by The Sun was far too extreme. It would not permit any public officer to engage in any contested election to the Legislative Assembly, by canvassing, speaking or acting in any way on behalf of any candidate. “ To shonr the inconsistency of our Reform friends look at the action of that party in the Legislature in voting down a bill making; a fine of $200 for any civil servant participat- ing in politics and then the action of that same party at Ottawa in firing Conservative civil servants on the ground of offensive partizanship.” The above appeared as an editorial note in last week’s Markham Sun. Surely our eastern luminary can see a difference between “ firing ” Conservative civil servants for offensive partizanship, and inflicting a heavy 'penalty on. officers who might take only a very modest part in election contests.

My first choice is the Richardson lot, but a gran, many think it is too far north for the pupils to walk, being thlee- eights of a mile from the centre of the village. Next in under to my mind is the Hopkins lot, which is more than large enough to suit the requirements of the law, being one and a quarter acres, with the advantage of being a corner lot, with a frontage on Yonge Street of about As a ratepayer I take the liberty of, placing my views. such as they are, be- fore the public. Of Course in making a selection it is desirable to have a site. large enough to satiufy the requirements of the law. SIR,â€"As it is possible that the Min- ister of Education may not sanction the building of the new High SCl’lonl on the old site, would it not be advisable to have a little discussion about other sites that may be available, and assist the trustees in making the best selection possible.

If the trust. ees cannot get over their bickeri 1g and get to work they should resign and let the citizens have u chance. four months since the building was burned and practicafly nothing has been done. With such umgmficwt weather as we have hut], and so many men out of work and nothing to do to earn for them- selves and their families a living. surely the trustees might go so far as to clean up the site and pile up the bricks so as to‘ leave a clear space for building uhcneur they can get ready.
