In the course of his address on edu-
cational matters at st. John last week
Sir John Bourinot expressed the opin-
ion that the common schools We're
teaching too many subjects to the ex-
clusion of the sounder training of the
mind that ought to be had. He does
not agree with the materialistic spirit
which would change the universities
from homes of culture to technical in
situations. DR.. Walker, in seconding
the vote of thanks, strongly conceded
with that opinion, for Sir Johns ideas
prevail in other localities.
The estimates for st. John for the
year were discussed at length and
passed. The amount totalled $8S,090, as
against $SS,097 for last year.
The secretary read his report for

Days of Grace Bill
Passed.
IT WAS EMPHATIC.
Not One Vote Registered in
Support Of Veto.

Boston. March 6.-The Senate did the
expected thing today in joining the
House in overriding the governor S
veto of the days of grace bill, and did
1t even more emphatically, not a single
vote being cast in support of the veto
while 81 were recorded against it.
Senator Fairbank of Warren was alb
sent, but he would have made 1t IS had
he been on hand.
Town meetings were responsible for
many absentees from the House to-
day, and the House was rather thinly
peopled.
1t is painfully evident that few of
the committees win be ready to make
final reports by Wednesday, when the
time limit on committee reports is up
and extensions Of time will be asked
for. Some of the committees have not
yet been able to get through with more
than half the subjects assigned them,
and others are a long ways from see
ing thu end of their work.
