FARME RS TELEPHONES.

A dollar a month does not go far
enough after 1t gets into the telephone
company's treasury to satisfy the
manager who has to pay the upkeep
and operating expenses on a big ru-
raj line system, and keep a little small
change to hand over to stockhold-
ers once in six months. He has to
cut too many corners, and run TOO
many chances of getting caught short
of a bank balance by a sleet storm,
or a law suit.
Twelve dollars is too low for farm
ers' line service on the average sys-
TEN, with the quality and cost i'm
proved as it has been in the last few
years. 1t is time to start after this
rate. The farmers can afford to pay
more-why should not they be in
duced to recognize value receivedf
OF course we know what the farm
ers do when 1t is proposed to raise
the telephone rate. But can this go
on forever? What is the best way
to get this thing into better shape?
Some have done it already.-Tele-

ADDITION To HIGH SCHOOL AND NEW
SCHOOL BUILDING TALKED BY BOARD

: letter sent to the principals of High
schools, he says he believes these or
CARNATIONS to be antagonistic to the
welfare, both Of the students and Of the
institutions"
IS THE public schools are supported
by the taxation Of all the people, says
no circumstances countenance any IN
strumentaIity which makes for the
separation Of the student body into
cliques or factions based upon assumed
privileges granted TO some of the stu
dents but denied to others
THE secret societies are not open to
all students Of the schools. Any eXclu-
sive privilege Of this kind is diametri-
democracy Of the public school
1T has been noted that these Organi-
cations tend to increase the expense Of
education, both to the members and to
introduced and the natural desire OF
other students to keep up with their
fellows.
expense of the high school attendance
in our cities and towns should increase
so that secondary school education
portunity open only TO the children OF
well to do parents. The tendency in this
direction should be checked.
Among the evils that are attendant
upon secret organizations in high
schools IS that which grows out Of the
rivalry that exists among them for the
securing of school and class honors So
intense is this rivalry at times that the
organization or society becomes hardly
less than machine for obtaining such
rewards.
so destructive OF democratic pur-
poses have these secret organizations
become that several state legislatures
have enacted laws forbidding their ex-
tstence."

Then president Winter asked for
vote on Jim Primm's motion that a rack
be placed at the Sunset school. W. g.

AWAIT SPEECH OF
GOVERNOR GENERAL
Canadian Parliament Opens
Wednesday-Change in
Policies Expected

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 1.-THE opening
Of the parliament tomorrow, with a
Conservative majority in command and
the possibility Of 4 change in the Do
m1ntOnS attitude on several political
issues, has focused interest on the in
augural speech of the duke of Con-
naught, the new governor general. It
Is believed his speech win in a great
measure forecast the attitude Of Eng
land upon Canada's trade relations with
the United States; the navy question
and the tariff agitation set afOot last
spring at the meeting Of dependency
prime ministers in London, preceding
the coronation.
The coming meeting of the Domin-
ions legislative body is unique by rea-
son Of the defeat of Laurier and the
Liberals on the reciprocity agreement,
the control of the country's policies
by the Conservatives, and the appoint
ment of the duke of COnnaught to the
post Of governor general, succeeding
former governor general Earl Grey.
Many politicians claim that a practical
revolution to the administrative policy
Of the Dominion on vital questions will
result.
Reciprocity was killed, Of course. by
the overwhelming vote that placed the
Conservatives in power but financial
interests are eagerly awaiting a pro-
tude towards the United States. The
French Canadian Nationalist also eX-
press confidence that Mr. BOrden's gov

ernment's naval bill and submit the
whole question to plebiscite. They
claim such a course Will mean the
wiping out Of Canada's navy.

three o'clock, when the governor gener-
al, the duke of COnnaught, will be es-
corted to the legislative building by
his military guard and deliver his mes
sage from the throne. Robert L. BOr-
