" an tket country (mean¬ ing Canada) in:d.. the ,un, that fpends one fourth of its revenue in Schools for the poor ?" It m.y perhaps with jullice be added, Where is there another people that won d not have moic fully appreciated and more readily availed thernselve of the mu¬ nificent approbation which ha> been made for the educatioi of ilun children Our author hat had an Opportunity of witnefs- ing the manna in whivh bufinets i<- too of 1 en conduced at "what are termed School UmingtS* it might be fuppofed that at theic meemgSf aathori^d and appointed '•y aw, for the eltablifh vent and organi¬ zation of Common Seh ^|R throughout the country, the molt diicrc, x anJ i-.tt-lligcnt n-en of the neighbourhood would always be nominated and dented a- trufteis, without ny c availing o< party t p;m cither «*n the I side of the elc&OTfl or thc perfons eledted. It fnicjht be fuppofed that the truflees, af ter bcinjr duly appointed, would exert thv«»( felves t'> procure fomethtug Idee a perma nent fubfeription for the fupp<«rt of 1 teacher, and having done this, that they wmld ihm be careful to felcft a perfon ei ther well known to them for his abilitiV and moral charafter, or well reco'Tunendt to t'-cm a:» fuch for a teacher ; and in their 0ffici.1I capacity continue to be his patrou and proti c'tor in every thing connected with the profperity of the Schools under their fuperintendencr. If oui inforniation 13 correft, at theft fchool meetings- the eleftjon of trullees in ma: y inltanecs i»: made by a mere cabal, Who exert th* mfeives to pet certain indi- vfnuals into < ffice at the time lo promote their own privute views. The choice of a teacher is frequently made without much care or concern either about his abilities or moral chaiaifter —a temporaiy piovibion is made lor his fopport, which loon fails and he isdifmided upon fome fiivolous pre¬ tence, with is little ceremony a* he whs at firft ei.gaged. When he is at laft obliged te- n ake application for the pay which is juilly due to *tirn. he is perhaps repelled with an air of indifference, or receives an infulting reply to hi- modefl reqoeft If he does not at once resign, a firing- of compiamts is drawn up and preferred ag¬ ain!! hi n to tbe B^atd of Education, fometi * es without giving him an opp »rtu nity to defend himlelf, or at lealt without transmitting to the Board along with thole complaints any thing like a fair report pf his defence. Thus the DihSitt Boards of Education, which were wifely appointed by law, as checks upon the truilces of hefe School?, being fe'dom furnilhcd with fair (latementh of cafe* in which the juftifica tion o: a teachci is concerned, are fome- timc1 induced to fan&ion and approve of his dilmif^al or removal upon accufations WithuUl proof, either altogether uujult in themfc.ves, or exaggerated by prejudice on the part of t'»e accufers- It is readily admitted, that the law pro vid.'ng for the ellablifhment of Common Schools is upon the whole exceedingly good—the fundsappropriated for their filp- port are iberal, and the mode picf. lihcd for the diHribution of thofe toads wise and judicious; but the teai iVr fliould be more effectually lermcd againll the influence *>f popular prejudice winch is evc> varying atid unceitain. Km Ion* otie»ii:g thtmf vts astc^rhrra might be recoi-rnended by the trotted bur they Tho .:d be examined by th Di Irif't Pond . f Education, and if found qnaltfii d, appointed by theic B tarda and placed tnor*e immediately under their proudti-n The tnillcer. rniglrt be author- iled to fufpend a teacher for *mpropcr con dud or wilful neglect of duty ; but in r>o calc fhouid 'hey be permitted to dtfmifs or remove hii. Whenever it might be found ntceiTary for the tiullces to prefer a com- p'?int againft a ttacher, tint fliould be regularly dune in writing, and forwarded to tin Board of Education, whi*fe duty it Hi uld th:n be to fmniuS ihe accufed with a copy of the complai x% and to ap, oint a time and place for the invelligatiori of the matter. Tenchers would by this mtidc of proceeding a'way- have an opportunity • f obtaining a fair trial, and un mpartial de- cillon upon their conduft by perfons en tirely di inteielled, and therefore unbiafled by prejudice or r^ariy fpirit. It would 1 hen be f.-und a much more diffit ult matter toiem.-vea teacher fti»m his office, and were thi> the caCfi the trullees would not only become more>careful to inf.^m thtm- filves refptding the character* of thole whom they piopofed to recommend for teachers, but would become left dlfpofcd to liflen to filly and gronnJlefs complaints too often proceeding from capricious and perulent children and brought forward by foolishly indulgent parents To induce men of correct morals and adequate talent* t\ herome tev-ners t^^ mult be protected aed lupp*-rted in the dif- charge of their duty, and their Stoat nns feeured to them during good behaviour.— The emolument raifed by fubfeription, in¬ dependent of the Government falaiy, fh^uld be punCtua y pai 1 at the end «>f every three n>< nths, and a certificate to that effeft,fign- ed by the tiu-tee», fh>uld accompany their quarterly leport. The teacher would thus be relieved from unneceff-iry care and cm- barraiTmeriit about pecuniary matters, and therefore enabled to proceed with more cluerfulnefs and alacrity in the difcharge of Ins duty.

An enterpri- zin^monk, (the curate of the-village of Novita,) with the aid of his flock, (ses paroissiens.) dug a small canal in the Ravin de la Raspadura. By this canal* which s navigable during the peri d of abundant rains, boat"*, ludenwith (.'o. ao, \\*xe passed from one sea lo the other.— Here then is a communication, which has existed since 1788. and of whieh the Kuropeans know nothing.
