As all kinds Of farm produce arc yielding gOod crops this year and everything is in a Sflonrshing oondition, there is no on why this year's exhibition jphould not excell that of any former Wh it their convention in Win dsor last Saturday, the Conservatives of North ' ssex selected G.

In our opinion^ the whole tendency of the education of the present-day is to induce and Influence young people to enter the professions rather than some honest trade. Not that the formor is more remunerative than the latter, for there are lawyers, doctors and teachers in all otn*~ towns who are livings-God only knows how. Then why will young pepple rush, with out any seeming forethought on their part, into professions already over crowded and offering no prospect of riches or position? Statistics prove that there ia one practising physiolan in Ontario for every five hundred of the population, The other day the Orangeville Pnblio School Board ad vertised for two teachers for the re mainder of the year, the salary in con nection with each position being $125 for the term. How many applicants were there? Just 189, And still the number of these entering tbe teaching profession is yearly groWint? larger. We only take this profession for con venience: the othors are crowded just as badly. There aro enough duly quali fied teachers in tho Province to-day to fill every position now vacant or that will be vacant during the next ton years, provided not a single person moro should enter the ranks for that period of time. Interchangeable nileaze Tickets. A new form of Thousand-Mile Ticket, the result of careful consideration and discussion between the railroads and their principal patrons, will be placed on sale September 1st, at all important Michigan Central ticket offices.
