Umpire, w. Bliss, whose decisions gave
great satisfaction, The Grand Trunk
Club would take this opportunity of
expressing their qualification and
thanks to the citizens of Coaticooke for
the uniform kindness and courtesy that
the club experienced while there, and
that they hope to have the pleasure of
reciprocating at some early period.
A NEW WAY OF EXCHANGING Ma
TIoNAL CIvILITIEs;-Last year our
genial cousin Grant, humorously bera-
ted Uncle Sans officers for not putting
out their flag in the morning in obser-
vance of Dominion Day. This year he
was discovered approaching his Office
with his elegant flag carefully folded
under his arm. Arriving there he dis
covered Uncle Sans revenue flag flying
on the flag staff over his office. Not to
beoutdone he immediately run the Brit
ish flag up ON Uncle Sans staff. 1t
was quite amusing to hear strangers as
they passed in the cars ask which way
Canada was, and why the order of
| things was so reversed?

we sincerely hope that the lesson in
culcated by Justice Ladd last Saturday
in which a schoolboy was fined $40 and
costs, amounting in all to nearly $50,
for an assault upon his teacher, will
not be lost on the boys now
attending school. The idea that boys
go to school for the purpose of CRITICS.
ing the teacher, making the rules, and
that it is their especial duty to see that
every one is treated exactly alike, with
out any regard to the circumstances of
the case, is erroneous. The teacher is
the one to rule and not the pupil. It
is the pupils duty and interest to go to
school with a purpose to obey, and to
study, for if they have this purpore in
view they will have no trouble. We
do hope that nothing like this trouble
will ever occur again in any of our
schools. If it does, boys look out the
cal r1 L,,c; on1
people of the town will support the
board. The name of the offender is
withheld for this time, as we think the
one lesson will have beneficial effect
One word more boys-follow the adj
vice given by the counsel for the re
spopdent, viz: If you feel aggrieved al
anything in school, state your griev
ance to the school board, and our wore
for it, it will be treated with due con
sideration,
