—By the inadvertant omission of a word, the paragraph referring to the Dom- minion Savings Bank in Saturday’s ExAMINerR conveys inaccurate information. The reference was only intended for the Dominion Savings Bank at Dorchester, N. B., which has been transferred to the Po-t Office Department.

COST OF EDUCATION IN CANADA, Tue Dominion Statistician has made some investigations concerning the cost of education in Canada. Accerding to his figures it appears that Ontario spends seven per cent. of the total provincial re- venue in government grants to schools, Quebec spends four per cent., Nova Sco- tia twenty-three per cent., New Bruns- wick twenty-three per cent., Manitoba seventeen per cent. while in Prince Edward Island the grant to education is fifty-four per cent. or more than half of the total yearly revenue of the province. The statistician has also made a compu- tation of the proportion of educational expenditure which the government and the people provided respectively. Thus he finds that in the Province of Ontario ninety-three percent of the total expen- diture on public education is paid directiy by the people, seven per cent only being coutributed by grants from the provincial exchequer. In Quebec the proportion is eighty-seven percent by the people to thirteen per cent by the province. In Nova Scotia the people pay seventy-six per cent and the province the remaining twenty-four per cent. In New Brunswick the proportion is sixty per cent and forty percent by the people and the government respectively. The people of Manitoba pay directly in | school taxes twenty-one per cent only of | the cost of public schools, the government | contributing the remaining seventy-nine | per cent, and in Prince Edward Island the | proportion is very mucho the same, viz., ' twenty-three percent by the people and seventy-seven per cent by provincial grant. By making a comparison between 1888 | and 1893 the statisticion shows that in On- tario expenditure upon public schools has remained stationary at $1.87 per head of the population. In Quebec it has in- | creased from 81 cents to 87 cents. In | Nova Scotia it has fallen from $1.51 to | $1.45. In New Brunswick the expendi-| ture in the year 1888 was $1.25 per head, and in 1893 it had increased to $1.31. In | | Prince Edward Island it rose from $1.36 | ' to $1.40, and in Manitoba from $1.57 to | $2.02. British Columbia increased her educational expenditure in the same period

from $1.40 to $1.87. Inu connection with the latter figures it is to be borne in mind

that there is no public assessment for ' education in the Pacific province. Taking , the average of all the provinces it shows | that the people of the Dominion are now

paying at the rate of $1.56 per head of, population for the purpose of public schools, an increase of six cents in the per capita expenditure since 1888.

An electric railway, at an estimated cost of $600,000, will probably be built be- tween Detroit and Port Huron. The pro- jected road will run through # territory not tributory to the Grand Trunk rail way.

The wheat crop of Canada will this year exceed that of Great Britain by several million bushels. The British yield is esti mated at 46,811,000 bushels, as compared with 60,995.000 bushels last year, while the Canadian crop will reach fully 52,000, 000 bushels, or about 10,000,000 bushels more than in 1894.

An American who recently chatted with Mr. Gladstone at Hawarden says the Grand Old Man’s voice and hearing show no signs of age. His face is that of an old man ®but if a listener shuts his eyes he would feel as if he were being addressed by a man in the prime of life. G adstone’s marvelous vitality finds its most effective expression in his voice.

The wonderful growth of Chicago, ac- cording to the recently issued annual re- ports of its municipal officers, including the Department of Public Works, is shown by the fact that in 1888 the area of the city was 37 square miles, and the popula tion about 803,000, while in 1894 the area had been increased to 186.2 square miles, and the population, by official census, was 1 597,727.

The Pope has declined to receive at the present time several personages who de- sired audience of him. His Holiness has intimated his desire that they visit him ou September 20th, their visit to be taken as a protest against the national fetes in honor of the occupation of Rome by Italian troops. The Pope advises that Catholics abstain from making counter demonstra- tiovs on that day.

The increase in the rate of taxation in New York city for the coming year is ex- plained by the statement that the increase in the assessment values has been excep- tionally small. In 1893 the increase in the value of taxable property was $105,- 000,000; in 1894 it was $60,000,000, and in 1895 only $14,000,000. This may ac- count for the increase in taxation from the standpoint of the municipal rulers, but the pockets of the taxjayers will sriler just the same.

The British Wesleyan conference meet- ing at Plymouth, England, has by a vote of 187 to 169, reaffirmed the decision of last vear against admission of women as delegates. It remains the rule that no chairman ofa district can receive the nomination of a woman. The principle was adopted this year in Opposition to a report of the committee to which the matter was referred. Rev. Hugh Price Hayes moved the adoption of the report in favor of women delegates.

The business of politics is not always an unprofitable occupation in the United States, even when pursued by a gentleman of the character of President Cleveland. According to a friendly critic, the Chicago Times-Herald, “Mr. Cleveland was in bare- ly comfortable circumstances when he was elected President, but his worldly goods have greatly increased. When his term shall have expired he will haye drawn $400,000 in salary from the United States Government, Between terms he practiced law and had some fine fat fees. Itis gen- erally supposed that during that interreg- num Mr. Cleveland strengthened his re- lations with the members of the Widener- Elkine- Whitney syndicate and profited con- siderably thereby. We estimate Mr. Cleve- land’s wealth at half a million dollars.”
