purposes. Yet, l am sorry TO nnd your
kiiid-hedrtcdurss the means or Instrument
Of causing the mortal remains of the I'M"
mortal Howard to be so roughly shaken
in what was thought to be its last resting
place. You are guilty, Mr.. Editor, of not
only casting into the shade, but of for
ever ecIipsing, the i!instrious, and as was
thought the match,ess, Incompatible, un-
surpassable "Howard" by the publishing
of the phllanthropic views of some BUCK
ISLAND or SANDY POINT PhiIauthropist $
unless your only object was TO hold up
this most Goliath-iike philanthroplc OF
PAiIAnthropists as a Mammoth Target tar
the most inexperienced of matksmen to hit.
As such, allow me then the privilege otH
few mInute-guns.
lst. The Parochiai Schools will come
in for "Btniamin's share Of the S6,224,
say, 3 times the proposed but rejected sum
ry one of the eight teachers 1919 p. a. or
S3l.25 p. m, supposiug they could get the
whole. () II mistake not, they would be
much better off han the teachrr< are OF tho
now existing PArochiAl schools.
Pad. The $500 exrrl would, after de-
Quoting 25 y. ct. for books etc, be reduced
$500 as salary for s Mistresses say $37 50
10 p. q. or s3.125 p m.
WHAT a fat living for the Ladies'!
Whatan "amount Of ribbons and laces."
Sri. The 500 for books etc. to s schools
would give $l2. so p. %. or 81 O4l6 t P.
IN. TINS would supply them with cards
luuumrrable from which to learn the Il, b,
c, or l, 2, 3.
4h. The $4,000 for the Upper Schools.
where the higher branches are to be taught,
would give 81 900 to each p. u. or $93 33t
p m. to be divided among the Masters and
the MistrrsSes. Would they become like
the fat Causee'' in the "Arabian Nights
Entertainments" or like the carricatured
Scuoolmasters %. e. tall, spare fellows
with the threadbare grizzly gray, Immense
old reddish "sterples,' and umbrellas that
were once of black cotton.
5h. The Sl,224 p. a. or S102 p. m. for a
Government Inspector would certainly en-
able him to keep as fine a travelling some
thing, and quite as suitable too tor his sta
ton among US, as was some kept by the
Unlortunates of the Rural schools. What
fun to see the old "Hat-stand" moving
along the old "Ring-ding" to the time of
'Soults" dead. march.
9Th. The "Catechism" business is a
grand magnificent Arrangement calculated
to secure the $4,000; but Mr.. "Philanthro-
pist' might have saved himself the trouble;
tor, allowing his views possible, every
school could then teach doctrines, creeds,
tenets etc. ad llbitum but, perhaps the
same can be done from these catechisms'
Ell?
18th. The obscure member Of this Tar
get can only have a random-shot from me,
as can see no part Of it except the POOP
LITTLE HEM
9Th The best schools will, Of course,
proselyte most to its Church or Denoml-
nation for. where most 10 to be learnt,
parents vii! BE anxious to send their chill
dren: but these could not become members
before being members of the church. Here
is a double gain to some :-church-fees In
time to come.
9th. The borrowed charge | quote from
the correspondence of "Archd4acon George
A. Drnison" to "The Rev. II. L. Barry"
in Tine Spectator" English paper of
March 80. 1879, wherein the former, Ia
speaking of "The East Brent Parochial
