The strict orders that he had always given to his staff were that a man must order food, and if he wanted a drink with it he could get it, but not ovberwise. He had, he said, been in the habit of selling liquors with food dyemg the hours prohibited for selling it in the bar since last February, when he had been noti- fled by Mr. Peters, the city so- licitor, that a change in the Liquor Act made this permissible, Mr. Patmore pointed out that the whole case hinged on the sec- tion of the act which ruled that the regulations concerning early hours and Sunday closing do not apply in the case of liquors served with regular meals. Mr. Fisher said: “My point hinges on the question whether these people on Saturday even- ing were getting regular bona fide meals. I think that the reg- ular meal hours would only in- from 11:30 a, m. to 8 p. short order service which extend- ed from 6 a, m, to 1 a, m, lowing morning.” Mr. Patmore contended that clude the time of the hot dinner, m., and could not be held to inelude the the fol. ion of those in London best qual- ifled to know, which is not per- fectly good for its obligations. They must, however, take the fu- ture into account and if certain cities do not exercise greater care, both as regards amount and method,‘they will certainly bring trouble on themselves and on the whole situation.

TEACHERS TARDY IN GETTING TO SCHOOL Trustees Declare That This Neg- ligence Can Be No Longer Tolerated by Them. At the meeting of the board of school trustees last night sev- eral members commented upon the circumstances coming to their notice uf teachers being late in reaching school, and it was felt by all the members that such negligence should not be toler- ated. Measures will be taken to ensure punctuality in the future. Discussing the teachers gen- erally, it was the feeling that the staff was up to the average, yet that there were weak points in it. Steps will be taken to remedy these. Miss Mercer sent in her resig- nation, designing to spend the next year at home. In her let-. ter she thanked the board and’ Principal Hunter for the cour- tesies extended to her and ex- pressed 'the hope that should she return to teaching she might be favorably cousidered. A communication was read from the department that there was no need of asking for tem- porary certificates from outside teachers, as there was an abund- ant supply of qualified teachers in the province. The superintendent of educa- tion announces that the schools of the province will close for the holidays on Friday next instead of on Monday.
