THE CANADAs.--No portion of this continent
is making more marked and rapid progress at
the present time than the western section OF
Canada. Weare surprised at the rapid growth
of the western state and cities of the American
Union. And yet since the year 1900, the
growth of Canada West has been nearly thrice
that Of the United States In the last fifty
years, the increase of the States according to
the best authorities, has been about 400 per
cent. But during the 40 years between 1911
and 1851 the increase of Upper Canada was
upwards of HOO per cent. Take even the three
great states of the west-Ohio, Michigan and
Illinois, and compare them with Canada West,
for the past 20 years, and great as has been
their growth our Canadian neighbors exceed
their increase during the same period by the
large ratio of 55 per cent. This immense in
crease in western Canada is not confined either
to the cities or rural districts. It is general
movement, and there are potent causes in ope-
ration which will accelerate the growth for the
next decade The increase of the city of To-
rcnto, when compared with cities in the States,
is found to exceed that of Boston, New York,
St. Louis and Cincinnati.
In Lower Canada, owing to the character of
the population and the feudalism which has be-
come engrafted into society, the material pro-
gress is less rapid than in Canada West. But
the infusion of republican ideas from the states,
is already visible in various parts of Canada
East, and conventions have recently been held.
at which popular rights have been advocated
with an energy which shows that the people
there desire to be rid Of the evils of the old
French civil law. View Canada in whatever
light we may, and it presents an interesting
and instructive aspect to all who note the pro-
gress Of Standardization Transcript.

TIE BELL. RUNG BY THE SEA.--In the South
ampton Dock there are three patent bell-buoys,
which the Mexican government have ordered
for the part of the coast in the Gulf of Mexico.
They are enormous buoys with large bells, and
their use is in thick and foggy weather when
the buoys cannot be seen. The surging of the
waves causes the bells to ring, which give in
formation of the locality of the buoys. The
apparatus is such also as to answer the purpose
Of the buoys. where several persons can be
sheltered until they are rescued. Their use, in
enabling ships to enter channels in fogs is inval
liable. The under part of the bell-buoy is boat
shaped and is admirably formed to roll about
in the water to ring the bell that is attached to
it. From the upper surface of the buoy cir
cuIar and tapering palisading is raised several
feet in height inside Of which, towards the top
the bell is hung so as to ring at the slightest
movement.

COMMON SENSE IN EDUcATIoN.-The
following remarks taken from London
paper, are extremely applicable to our own
meridian, and we earnestly recommend
them to the perusal of our school and the
officers of the Board of Education:
The friends Of education have an obliga-
ton to acknowledge to Lord Ashburton,
simple in its character, but of vast import
ance. The Times Justly describes the
task he has benevolently undertaken as
=" comparable only with that of the man
who is said to have brought down philoso-
ply from heaven to EARTH" 1t is, in plain
terms, project for the introduction of
common sense into schools. The innova-
tion is bold one, and what is more ex-
traordinary is, that it is ushered into the
world with the countenance of sundrv
clerical supporters. As propounded by
his lordship at a meeting of fschoolmasters,
from the diocese CT Winchester and Sails.
bury, recently held at Wolvesey, after the
examinations of candidates for Government
certificates, the plan is to distribute period
icalfy prizes for instruction and attainment
in the knowledge of common things
That is to say, he wishes teachers to show
I" how the garden could best be cultivated
how the dwelling might be most efficiently
warmed and ventilated, upon what princi-
pies food and clothing should be selected,
how chronic ailments might be averted by
timely attention to premonitory symptoms
and recourse TO the physician. They
could teach the measurement of work, the
use Of the pulley, the lever, and the wind
lass. They could, in short, expound those
methods, suggested by ever-advancing
science, by which toll might be enlightened
and substance economical" In fact, they
can bring back, or introduce, those things
into schools which have been pushed out
to make room for creeds and crtheoisms.
They may give some inkling of the visible
world in which the pupils are to live here,
as we'll as of the invisible world in which
they are to live hereafter They may
learn that the parson is not intallible,
when, on Sundays, he sneers at the ques-
tons" what shall we eat, what shall we
drink--wherewithal shall We be clothed e.
If sneered at on Sunday. they may be an
swered on Monday. The fact will thus
dawn upon the children's minds, that
schooling has something to do with reality
and life. 1t will emerge from the theologi-
cal mist. A thousand thanks to the man
who has embarked in the enterprise Of
giving substance to the "airy nothings"
Of that modern teaching which sects and
churches patronize.
