Minister once, in the midst of his

things he said:
"And, on my word, mosquitoes there
were found,
Many Of which, think, would weigh

Crushes into dumb despair,
One half the human racer

One little girl must stay home to
take care of brother" Another must
"help wash" Think of tiny crea-
ture nine years old helping wash! A
regular barbarity! One little boy must
peddle meat, consequently, comes late

may be very well outside of school
hours, but teacher is expected to ad-
vance, not only few, but the Wh0le
school, to promotion in a year. How
can he do this when pupils come after
recitation and hours are over: 1t will
take more than year to do the work
in such manner.
If parents would only stop to think
how much injury they do the child,
we are sure there would be fewer tardy
marks, fewer imperfect lessons, less
annoyance to teachers and scholars,
and not so much disappointment in
the expectations parents have of the
child's progress. Having only half of
recitation and half credit, the little
mind loses interest after time, and
the little heart becomes discouraged,
even if the child at first is bright and
eager to learn. If the child is naturally
lazy, and don't care to come to school,
frequent excuses for tardiness given
by the parent, will lead it to make
them for itself, just from the force OF
habit, and-tOtal depravity.

A ANADIAN TRADES CONGRESS

We are pleased to learn that Steps have
been taken by the Toronto Trades Assem-
bly,, aided by other trades Of repressntA-
tive organizations in the Dominion to se-
cure the formation Of q Canadian Trades
Congress The OAtdrlo Workman, in a
well-wrltten article, shows the necessity for
and the advantages to be derived from the
formation of such an organization. 1t
concludes as follows
We know not, but from the signs of the
times we would say that the producsrs of
all wealth in this Canada Of ours, in coIn-
mon with the most advanced and civilized
of earths toilers elsewhere, are coming to
an enlightened sense of their importance
and rights in the community and the day
IA not far distant when the United Labor 81
the land will be able to reason together on
what concerns its welfare. a. well as the de-
signing corners who nov control trade and
commerce and Labor once thus united,
the gents who assume the control Of these
rings will have to be more scru pulous, and
conhne their operations at least to honest
bounds. Once open the eyes Of the pro
ducers, and they will not be robbed indiS-
criminately. Then would we urge upon all
Unions in Canada to give this call for a
Labor Congress their earnest consideration;
and let the language Of each BE- Come let
us reason together touching all questions
that concern our welfare a. citizens and
workingmen. Many are the questions that
require our immediate attention, which are
OF vital Importance to our class Then let
there be good representation Of the La
Dor of the Dominion at Toronto this fall,
and 50 form the necleus Of . United
Worklngmen League, that may exert an
influences for Labor Reform that few Of Us
have the faintsst anticipation of.

The Ontario Workman, Of August 2,
publishes the following call:
FELLow WoRKISoMRN. - The Toronto
Trades Assembly, with the advice of the or
ganized workingmen of the chief centres of
industry in our country, have resolved to ad-
dress this circular to all organized bodies Of
labor that we may have knowledge Of in Can
ada, for the purpose of ascertaininQ the views
of all such labor Unions upon the advisabili-
ty and propriety Of calling o LABOR Cor
GREss in the month Of September, to take in
to consideration the various questions that 1T
present directly affect the interest of labor
an this country: such, for instance, N the
Trade Union Bill, which the present admins
tration Of the Dominion have signi6ed their
willingness to amend, % - TO meet the res
sonAble wishes of trades unionists, % soon a.
the Unions agree, and put in proper shape
such amendments to the bill IN they deem
necessary; the creation of u proper lien law,
that will give those who labor the same legal
powers to collect their earnings from the
property improved by such labor, ~ the land
lord has TO collect his rent.
Other questions Of equal Importance will
be taken into consideration; such - questions
bearing on the relation between employers
and workmen, that have been 20 carelcssly
handled by our Legislators Of late, without
consulting the feelings Of the workmen ON
subjects Of such vital Importance to them.
Also. the permanent organization of Do
minion Labor league, % that we may ever
be ready to advance our interests in unison
with promptness and effect.
Fellow Workingmen, give the question
briefly set before you in this short circular
your earnest attention; and send all commu-
nications to John Hewitt, Ontario Workman
Office, Toronto
~ Papers favorable 10 the cause please

said readers, but we wish we could send it
to Thousands Of those who are not readers
