True economy is good management, and about the worst management a. farmer can be guilty of is to buy cheap and thus cut the value of his crops in half mor worse. A stream cannot flow higher than its source, and a crop can- not be any better than its seed. Real seed economy is buying seeds that war the, stamp of a. house that is known to be. reliable ; then the plant- er is absolutely sure that he. gets what he wants and what he pays for. In every part of the country dealch sell the absolutely reliable seeds of I). M. Ferry & (10., of \Vindsor, Ont., which have given uniform good results for the last 42 years.

MP. BROWN RESIGNS. Owing to continued illâ€"health Mr. \V. 7}. Brown of the High School stalf has handed to the Board his resigna- tion. Mr. Brown has filled the. posi- tion of assistant teacher with great ability for nearly three years. He has always worked hard for the school and has broken down in the harness. , ,At New Years he. asked for and obtained leave of absence, for about i seven weeks and during that time his ;bealth seemed much improved. He iresumed his duties here. about. four weeks ago but now finds himself unable to stand the strain. His , doctors,therefore, advise him to take a rest. VVe feel safe in saying that leave. In the. school he has given the highest satisfaction both to the Board and to the Principal and has contribâ€" uted largely to bring the school to its ’ int efficient state. In social is the president of the Epworth lLeaguc and an active. worker in the ' Sunday School. In the Masonic Chair. His departure will be felt in many ways. He will go attended by the. sincerest good wishes of all who know him. Boots and Shoesâ€"In school boots and shoes we can do better than city prices. Our stock is large and well assorted.

The Principal of the Public School requests the insertion of the following taken from the. school law :â€" \Vhencver a case of scarlatina, diph- theria, whooping cough, measels, mumps, or other contagious disease, exists in any house or hosehold be- longing to which are persons attend- ing school the householder shall withâ€" in eighteen hours of the time. such disease. is known to exist notify the, head teacher of such school or schools and also the secretary of the local board of health of the existence of such disease, and no member of such household shall attend school until a certificate has been obtained from the M edieal Health Officer that infection no longer exists in the house, and until such certificate shall have. been obtained it shall be. the duty of every member of the household and of the teacher to use all reasonable efforts to prevent the associations of members of the said household with other children. INSPECTOR SEATH’S REPORT. Ixtracts from the report of Inâ€" spector Seath on his visit to our High School on March 3rd have been trans- mitted for the information of the Board and Principal. The school- grounds, Buildings, classâ€"rooms, halls, desks, cap-rooms, blacklitial'ds,§hea.ting, ventilation, etc., are all graded 1. Some slight improvements are urged such as better furniture for the library and Board room and shades for the windows and a coat of paint for the water closets. The value of the library is $19.40 while the apparatus is worth $258.09 and maps $31.00 and Drawing Models $11200. The report then goes on to say that “a good reference library should be. provided as soon as possible. Dictionaries and an Encyclopaediaare urgently needâ€" ed.” The provision for teaching" writâ€" ing and Reading are. in accordance with the. regulations and the. division of duties among the teachers is satisâ€" factory. Tho diSeipline, the. keeping of the registers, and the text books are all marked satisfactory and no complaint is made in any part of the report. The report on the character of the teaching is excellent and both board and teachers should feel eluted by the impression made on the. in- specter with regard to the. teiuihers7 ability, organization, etc. The read ing of the pupils is not ranked as excellent, but the test submitted in this case was unusually severe and this in some measure accounts for the. fact that the pupils did not read well. The report Concludes with the follow- ingnote signed by Mr. Seathzâ€"“I have. to congratulate the. Board on the excellent new building it has provided. \Vhen completed, the accomn’iodations will be very satisfactory. The library should receive early attention. The. school continues to be one, of the best. of the smaller ones a condition largely due to the energy of the Principal.” It might be added that since the Inspector’s visit, the Comâ€" mittee of Management have. attended to most of the details of improvement suggested in the report. Also, from the proceeds of the recent entertain- ment, there have been provided for the. library an encyclopaedia, a Latin and French Dictionary and one or two books on science. If, therefore, the Inspector should come back to- morrow, hecould scarcely find a thing to criticise and would certainly have to congratulate the Board on the vigor they are displayiirr. BIRTHS.
