Larger School Buildings Requ red.

Owing to the recent large influx of population into Western Canada it has become absolutely necessary in many parts of Manitoba, Assiniboia, Saskatchewan and Alberta to increase the school accommodation. In many places buildings have been erected that are only half occupied. This is perhaps as good evidence as will be found not only of their satisfaction with their present School system and their confidence that It will remain as it is, but also of their firm belief in the future expansion of the country, in increased immigration and it further indicates that they have little fear that the well-established rate of births in civilize 1 coiniuuniUe:wlll not be maintained there. The free homestead laws and th< cheap railway lands offer great Induce ments, which are openiug up the nev settlements. Agents of the governmeu of Canada are actively at work in di: ferent portions of the States for tb purpose of giving information to poss ble settlers, and advertisements ar now appearing in a large number of p; pen, giving the names and location of these agents.
