The bill provides further that a E-pai-ate set of b.iilot papers shidl he prepured for all -the. wards -or L ejectoral divisiuns; contaiping ^he 1 names of the cujuidates nominated tor school ti-usttSs. .

Theie M; two excellent points in the Bill iprepared tiy Mr. Ross, namely, thie application of the:^bailor ^"- 9 regulations required > of him ;by law. as-a Publio Suhool Inspector. 1 He ehullenged any one to cite ono instanco in whiohj lie had exceeded his duties. - Ho had always endeav ored to pursuo as lenient a 'course as was {>Ossible, while, at the aaiuu tiroo discharge his duties conscien tiously. He did not care whether other Inspectors, as had been stat ed, -pursued a differeiit course.;to him, their consciences were not in his keeping. ' His duties were laid down before hi n in a plain and unequivocal w.tjy, and if the ad ministiiition"' ofI the law was not suitable nbr acceptnblu to the rate payers, why, he wan not to blame. Any one who would take tho trou ble to acquaint himself With the School Law, would find that it was to blame'and not he. Bu5 he felt that it was his duty as an adminis trator of th la%y to-see that its jirp- visions were carried onti; as far nB was at all possible, and if any weriu dissatisfied thej-jlia-d only to petition for an alteration and amendment of those claust-a in it which were found to bo so burdensome and oppressive. He did not think it was right that be should be met with these charges, as lie was not the framer of the School Law.

Instances were cited in which dissatisfaction wasaaid to have arisen in consequence of. the endeavor ;of Jilr. Little 'to enforce the provision^of the present School Act. Tliby thought he had been too-faithful in trying to administer the law strictly to the letter, and that he did not give dua consider ation to the wants and in'erfist of the ratepayers.
