ship lines. Furthermore, in cases of
real inability 'toI pay the full rates,
special rates, and even free tuitiou
d"'ing the entire ten months, may be
obtained by applying to the chairman;
and that efforts should be made to
secure for earnest, energetic, moral
young men such farm labor as wuukl
enable them to meet q porlion,'if not
the whole, of their expenses. The
object Of the school was stated,
amongst other things, to be:
TO cultivate sclf-confidcnCr, personal
appearance, pleasing address, gentle
qualities, good Judgment and refined
manners, as not less important than
arithmetic and grammar.

SCHOOL TRUSTEES,

We have entertained the opinion for
some time that legislative action should
be taken, appropialing funds for the
pay Of school trustees. 1t is particu-
Larry Important, under the circum-
Stances, 'hat the very best men in the
respective townships should be selected
Tor Tie position Of trustees, and it is
unreasonable 10 expect or demand the
Finlc and services Of the best men
~! tie country in the discharge of such
M0H"Ic%@ duties without II quid pro
quo from the government. For our
part, we believe tia serious mistake to
undertake 70 run tho government upon
the mi@!arNiy principle, that services
should DC rendered without compcnsa
ton. Talk about patriotism and the
puJIic duties Of tlo citizen and al
that, bat without q reasonable and
proper rcturn for all services rendered
we need not caprct nuv one to come
up 10 tie ideal measure OF public 0,

principle involved, i! is well .attcstcd

JUDGE NEl>uN, Of the United States
District Court for Massachusetts, has
recently rendered decision which
somewhat cuniplica!cs the act passed
hr Congress- excluding Chinese. immi-
grants from ih;, country. He has de-
ciUcd in the case Of one Ail Slug, who
WAS born on tn" Island Of lIon1 Kong
after its cCSSiGn 10 the British govern
ncni, that the law ilurs not apply to
him aS he was a trit>h subject, and
hence, til; u4!. b. ace aChinumar, not
Srhlcc; to tie restrictions imposed. On
the ISlUnl OF Hong Konw there were
iii lS12 900 thi,.r>c, which number
is annUnlly increasing, aud while the
immigration from there is not very
large, should this decision be sustain
ed, the objects OF the law may be de-
tralrd by shipping immigrants from
China through Hong Kong and making
1t appear 'hat they were bona ,fle resi-
dents Of that island and British sub
icc'S. But if this opinion should be
sustained ant advantage taken OF; il to
run Chinese in it will be no difficult
matter TO amend ibc law 50 as to cover
thr Hong Kong impor!aiiuns n well
as those from the Chincsn E.mDirc
