1. NOW READY, AND CAN BE SUPPLIED AT THE EDUCATION Public School Pupil's Weekly Report of Standing and with about the same population (the cases are taken for this PUPILS' DAILY, WEEKLY, AND MONTHLY REPORTS. reason), sent to the United States, according to the statement of the American consul at Basle, in 1873, at point of shipment, watches valued at $2,520,104. To pay for these it would have taken in Illinois say 5,000,000 bushels of corn. In the same year Switzerland sent embroidery to the amount of $2,095,234; another call for 4,000,000 bushels of Illinois corn. Again in the same year and from the same country, we imported silk and silk goods to the value of $5,224,116, a call for 10,000,000 more bushels of Illinois corn; making in round numbers 19,000,000 bushels which would have been necessary had the payment been made in corn, for three kinds only of manufactures requiring skilled artistic work. This astonishing feat she could not have accomplished with rude manufactures. Transportation alone would have prevented it. Let us see what Alabama's settlement of this item would amount to in her favorite staple. The above amount ($9,839,454) was not in currency, but in gold, and would have required in cotton, say at Montgomery, in round numbers 79,000,000 pounds, or 178,000 bales. The basis of this estimate is made upon these data: The average price of cotton from September, 1873 to April, 1874, was 14 cts. in currency; average premium on gold for the same period 11 cts.-From Home and School."

APPORTIONMENT OF THE LEGISLATIVE SCHOOL GRANT TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN ONTARIO FOR 1876. The following is the apportionment for the current year of the Legislative School Grant to each City, Town, Village, and Township in Ontario. The basis of apportionment to the several Municipalities for this year is the population as enumerated in the census of 1871. The total amount available for apportionment is the same as that of last year, and those Townships in which there are feeble Schools and a sparse population have been specially considered in an additional apportionment from the Poor School Grant. Such additional Grants appear in a separate list, and under the Regulations of the Department a municipal equivalent is required for them. Where Roman Catholic Separate Schools exist, the sum apportioned to the Municipality has been divided between the Public and Separate Schools therein, according to the average attendance of pupils of both classes of Schools during last year, as reported and certified by the Trustees. The Grants are, by law, payable on the 1st of July, by the Treasury Department, on the certificate of the Hon. Minister of Education. These certificates will be issued on or before 30th June, in favour of those Municipalities which have sent in duly audited school accounts and Inspectors' reports to the Education Department.
