1t is a natural instinct OF bar
gaining tor the buyer to belittle
what he proposes to buy, and for

between traders is nowhere felt

A journal, which should be
better informed, speaks approx
ingly of the simplicity and lack
of restraint in the present styles
of feminine dress. The truth is
that the corset of 1909 is the
most complete instrument ever
devised by fashion for female
torture. The seeming simplicity
of the mode calls for the appar
ent elimination of hips, and Il
this end the new corset is Gun
ningly adapted.

NO INSTITUTE WEEK.

It is subject for cOngratula'
ton not only to the teachers, but
to the public that furnishes the
money, that the weeks institute
at the beginning of the school
term has been eliminated and
the children will get the benent
of this extra week of instruction
Even the dullest of these chill
dren is much more likely to be
benefited by this additional time
than the average teacher is by
an institute, when unwillingness
to attend is poorly hidden, and
unreceptivity of mind to learn
is apparent.
We have before pointed out
what a farce these Institutes are
wrong in theory, inadequate, in
effective. A teacher is either
prepared for duty or not. l.
not, a weeks work cannot &C
complish much in the way o
preparation. If fitted for teach
ing, the institute is unnecessary
and equally waste of the publ
money.
We are glad to see an awaken
ing of the Departmental al
thorities. The sooner the en-
ployment of teachers is put o
a thoroughly commercial, an
not an eIeemOsynary, basis b
the state, the sooner will tn
grade of teaching be raised, ah
it's dignity as a profession, a
sured. No one employs phys
clan or lawyer, and then a
ranges to give him extra course
in medicine or law, free. Eve
so, the teacher, should be requi
ed to meet public demands fl
competency, and if so require
would meet it, without furth'
effort on the part of the educ
tiOnal authorities.
