VENTILATION NEEDED.

Tue attention of the property committee of the School Board 1s respectfully direct ed to the need of ventilation in the vari- ous rooms of our City Schools. The need is always felt, but especially in this ¢ li weather. If the windows are kept closed, the air in the rooms—particularly the more crowded ones—s000n becomes 80 bad that study is difficult or impossible aod health is endangered; and if the windows are opened, there are such draughts in the

rooms and throughout the buildings that

colds and pneumonia are induced. This is an important matter about which we have lately heard a good deal of criticism, If ventilation can be provided in our city

The establishment of a museum is also under consideration, and will probably come to'pass if suitable rooms can be obtained. {Under the presidency of Mseers. and Newson MacSwain, aided by a competent executive, and the exertions of Mr. Watson, its secretary, we feel sure that the society will prove tobe worthy of the support of all whodesire to see scme out- ward and visible proofs of intellectual life in this community, and all who wish to promote the interesting and useful study of Natural History.

—'Tne Quebec Chronicle makes the fol- lowing point against Sir Wilfrid Laurier: “Atthe memorable banquet given to him in the Chateau Frontenac on October 28th, 1898, Sir. Wilfrid said: ‘* Look at the map once more and you will see in a glance the great benefit in store for us, to be afforded “by the Parry Sound route to Quebec. Consult the map and you will find that the route from Parry Sound to Quebec is almost a straight liae. It ie an air line.” When this line was co mpleted, Sir Wilfrid added :—** Quebeu will become the great transhipping point of the trade between the East and the West.” This was the prospect the newly crowned Pre-~ mier held out to his constituents.”

That was only two short years ago. Now, as the New York Siandard remarks, the Master of Laurier’s administration is hard at work on a echeme to divert the whole Parry Sound trade to Montreal, and thence, south of the St. Lawrence, to Portiand, Maine, and St. Jobn.

—Mail and Empire: Mr. Fielding boasts of the taxes he has collected, of the aa ount of money he has spent, and of the sum that is left. But taxes do not build up nations. We want what the Govero- ment does not appear to be getting, more men to cultivate Our vast areas, and more industries to employe the men we havs.

—It appears that the immigration into Cansda of a colony of Doukho-

borsti -- for which members of our Liberal Government fare taking great credit, —is the result of a de-

portation on the part of the Russian Gov- eroment. Russia will not have them; and they come to Canada,
