We were panied to hear the news Of
the death Of Rev. +. L. Walker which
occurred at his home in the eastern

this may seem a little hard to the
teachers just now in the long run
they will ascertain that it is all for
the best. If a certificate can be had
too easily it will only mean that the
ranks will be more than full and even
lower wages will be the inevitable re-
suit. Again it is much better for the
pupils of our schools that eXamina-
tiOnS are not loosely conducted nor
the work carelessly graded.
A populist. with the air of a man
who thought we were surely ''done
up in business on account of it, told
us to stop his paper. last week, be

been subscriber for about five years
and never paid cent and we don't
expect that he will ever. He wouldn't
pay. if he could. provided so he could
beat us out of it. We are glad, how
ever, that he doesn't want the paper
any longer, because it is long enough
now to suit US, and if we had few
more such dead beat subscribers we
would be compelled to make it
shorter.
