WHAT NEXT is TO BE TAUGHT IN OUR PUB
Lie SCHOOLS ?-Edftor Star: I see Mr.. Cham
pion wants photography introduced Has he
PET TOT whom to provide place Are we to
nave no end to such vagaries? Taxpayers think
plain, substantial education Is all that should
be expected in schools sustained exclusively nv
their poe cts; such an education as will dit one
Tor the ordinary business of life. But instead of
this we have music and German, and new, for
sooth, phonogrophy is to be added! And thus
thousands of dollars, in addition to what is
really needed, are to be extracted from
I%Sh so drained by the legislation of
generally collapsed condition. Is Mr.. c. aware
OF the fact that the election of the 9Th instant
inaugurate system of retrenchment and reform?
Does he think that means additional burdens?
am aware he was not very thoroughly identified
with the reform movement, but an strongly in
clined to the opinion that he may be reached by
it at the merit election, if he is not little careful
how he increases the public expense at the pres
ent tlme, with debt of over too millions already
on our shoulders, no inconsderable part of
wmch was laid there by the tUise and careful leg
lslation OF himself and compeers. 1 think after
the rebuke given them on the 9Th instant thev
would exhibit wisdom by modestly refrainir o
from any attempt to increase the burdens of the
people at the present time. A REFoRMKR
