two old ones both ip. '_th'9 Township <?f Aldborougl~, were
enla.rged and substantially'repaired,inaking them as/gooel
as new. Nearly all of t)le School Houses throughout the
County are now fauly comfortable, and ~ome are neatly, and
tastefully finished _and funllshed. . This has beeu accom-
plished, partly through thepl'ogl'essive spirit and liberality
of the people, anil partly through the' compulsory a~tion
of the School taw of 1871, and succeeding amendments.
Since ~y last_ 'report, a circ~iar ha$ by order of the
Minister of Education, be'eu 'submitted -in each school
sectioll,asking the opinion of ' "the Ratepayers:.Ouporithe
question ofTownsh1p s~hool b'oardsinstead of the present
pIau. The decision i,u'all the sections, exc~pp.three .in
the Oounty of Elgin was largely in favor. of rural section
trustee boards. ,The,results of my own observation cause
m.e to quite 'agree with ,the majority.
The Towllship system woula; while it righted some
wrongs, cre~te'" at.- th~ t~p1~ -fa,r great~l' _ones, .. and also
largely diUfini~hthat_Iocal interest and zeal which are the
out-g:rowth of locall?orib.:ol and local l1lallagemeut.

and:con?ecillt?~_~eX1?e!1se_s o(t~e C,ou~ty BJal'ds of Exami~:
ners be thereby largely iIirninished. I
The non :'pl'ofessional exnmination for third class will
be upon the se~ond::class papers, whwh will be 'read in
Toronto, and' the staridar<l will, be the former. one for
sec!,ud-class grade B.
The County Boards will stilI be 'required to conduct the

Two blind inmates bave died durin.g the year, one a
small child. Fourteen cases of who9plng "cough have
occurred-a man~87 years old nearly succumbed to its in~
flllellCj3-. We have haa- to deal with sixteen cases of measeIs
andt~n of scarlet fever, but happily both of a mild type, '
Intermitting and typhoid fevBi's did not put in anappear~_
ance at 'all, arid only a few casesaf! bllious remitting Jever.
I have io report two cases of erysipelas anathre~ of
insanity; t~o'ofthe latter were removed to a~ Asy-1llm.
vie have n.ow in, +.hi8 .Illstitutiontwo epiliptics, both
young. 1. have only~r~ll'ther to say that there ,are a number"
of.Iierson~suffel'ing fromchroniB mala:d1es, such as ~rsthmfl,
ul\3ers, brop.cl;1itis, eczeina~. ana. rheumatism.
BY' a carefui com,iderationof the foregoing report you
willsee that the sanitaIY condition of tl:L1s Iustitntionis
'all that could be desired, and I would further say that the
inmates are well cared fJr;
