OPPOSITION TO INVESTIGATION IN OUR Pubic
ScHooIs.-We understand that q number of the
members of the Board of Education, 10 connec-
ton with some Of the ward school officers are
doing all In their power TO put stop 70 the in
vestigstion which has been instituted by the
Committee on the Course Of Study and School
Books This committee. for the purpose of pro-
curing all the information desirable on which 10
base report to the Board, addressed commu-
nication to the ruperintendents, professors and
teachers In the service of the department with
that view; but as there are many facts in regard
to the purchase Of school books which, IL made
known, would seriously affect the character of
persons directly or indirectly connected with our
public schools, great efforts are being made by

and may refuse to entertain any projec. Of con-
Citation short of this condition. The French
Emperor, we know, insists on having resident
Minister at Pekin; Mr.. Buchanan will no doubt,
prefer similar request.
This Chinese war may yet come to be the lead
ing event Of the middle of the century. So far as
the public are concerned, their interest in it is
mostly confined to their interest in the great
staple Of ina-tea-which has risen tremen-
dously in price since the war broke out Very
certainly if the war continues and we do not lay
hands on the-tea growing districts, tea will soon
exceed the limits of most purses, and cocoa, cof
fee chocolate, beer or some other substitute will
take its place in nine out of ten households. We
are not cure that that would be q serious loss
Very little tea is consumed in France. It is con-
sidered a luxury, and it is considered the thing
to put rum in it, not milk. Doctors will agree
that the French are nearer the truth than the
Anglo-Saxon tea consuming nations
