There are some who do not li agree with us in the view we 0 published last week relating to S making some provision to raise a funds enough to carry on the ar school for a period of nine months. ! They think we are asking too I much when we suggest that the s trustees be authorized by Law to n enforce a proper contingent fee, or that property valuations be 1 raised. There is no taxpayer in the o district more aversed to paying C taxes than we are. at the same i time we realize the fact that s taxes mast be paid, and there o is nothing the money can be ex- a pended for, which will give bet- e ter returns than education. We n have a fine school equipment u and we clust devise some means to maintain it. Money is needed and it must come, if not from those who patronize the school then out of the property that is t dnhanced by being in close touch with excellent educational I facilities. Do away with our school and in less than twelve months property valuations widl de crease fifty per cent, and the de crease will continue from year to year until it becomes value- t less, therefore. from a mercenary i standpoint alone it pays to main tain a firstclass school, the greater profits going to the' property owners. "We are paymg taxes enough" say some, but the fact is we are! not paying enough to prevent I our school's finances running short. and we all must admit, t the teachers are not receiving extravagant salaries. If there are a poorly paid class of people it is the teachers in a school de pendent for its maintainence a from taxation in a community where the property is assessed at one-third or less of its value, and too, in such a community, r more is expected from the school ' than when the means to operate ~ it comes from other sources. Our " local school is economically ad ministered, as well as efficiency a will permit, not withstanding t ' this, there is not money enough i to run the school nine moaiths i in the year a-nd something n~ust 3 bedone. If any who feel there shouli C not be a raise in property valua tions or in the contingent fee, wi] devisesomeschemewherebysuffi- t cient money can be raised, their views will be received with pleasure, but unless they have e something besides a chronic op- i position to otfer it will amount to nothing. This nii'h is certain, "we can not eat our cake and keep it too." If we are to enjoy the blessings of civilization which education 1 brings, it is clear that we must t devise the financial means for it. regardless of those who are C constantly objecting to any and ' anythmng tending towards pro gress. and yet when progress is forced upon them they are the first to take advantage of it by demanding additional pay for c what they have. t There are people who com- t plain of taxation, whose proper- ~ ty is assessed at a ridiciously ~ low value, compared with the ~ price they demand for it, and many of these people are op posed to progress only, because it brings with it more taxation, notwithstanding it also brings along better values and greater ~ demands for property. These people want to eat their cake and keep it too. The attention of the town authorities is directed to a large i pile of rubbish on the lot belong- t ing to Mrs. M. 0. Burgess, in the rear of the Mecca Hotel,< facing Church Street. This pile is not only very unsightly, but in our opinion, a breeder of mis quitos, wnich convey malaria, and the authorities should re quire this stuff to be removed at once. Every tin can in that pile catches water and millions t of misquitos are hatched there from. We understand that some of the members of the board of I health have examined this rub- ~ bish and have given it as their opinion that there is no decay- r ing matter ir it, but with all due i respect to them. we know better. t There are rags, paper, cans. the rakings from the backyard of the hotel. and sve know not what else. It is dangerous to the public health and the citizen strip of this town is entitled to protection. We know in any other town the i authorities would not permit such a menace to health to exist i no longer than they discoveredC it, and why should Manning take chances of typhoid or ma larial fever. Order this breeder of disease removed before there are direful results.

This ractice excited the furious indigna ion of George II. His ignorance of Dglish made it very difficult for the ourtiers to explain that the . royal ock crower was not making fun of ti. The cock crower was a salaried ficer at the English court as late as A Boy's Idea of Parsons. Not long ago a class of boys in an lementary school had an essay set, he subject being "Clergymen."
