The city schools closed to-day for
the holidays, and the teachers and
children are having well earned
rest. Our schools this year are doing
good work and everything is moving
along smoothly and nicely with Prof.
Yeomans at the helm. The board
purchased some kindergarten material
for the primary rooms, under the
Misses McMichael, and these excellent
teachers are better equipped than ever
for their work. We only wish the
board felt able to purchase a larger
supply of kindergarten materials, such
as clay for modelling. and other things
necessary in primary work, and we
hope our school finances will soon be
in shape to do this. We feel that the
board, the entire corps of teachers and
the school children are to be congrat-
ulated on the success of the term just
closed.

Respect for Women.

When man habitually speaks slight
lngly of any women, or of women as a
class he betrays himself in attempting
to lnJure them. 1t is related that at a
public dinner recently, at which no
women were present, a man of this silk
was called upon to respond to the toast,
"Women." He dwelt almost entirely
on the weakness of the sex, claiming
that the best among them were little
better than the worst, the difference
being III their surrounding. At the
conclusion of his speech one of the
