At tho iiublic mooting oii Friday ova-ning Mr. Beaven tjuotod Mr. T. Davie's vote upon the seoond .readiiig of the aohool

act of I8i84, whiob; imon^ many other

provisions, contained, as introduced info the house, a clauao, providing a ainall foe upon pupils ontering thu high .ichoul, as showing that Mr. Oavio had ailvucated tho imposition of such fuo, and thu Tinic» in Saturday's issue givea in largo type the division upon, the bill, with the same purpose. Mr. Beaven well knows that voting for Ilia second reading of a bill coni-coniriiita no ona to ita detail') and no ro-niark is moro common among legislators tliun that ill voting for tho Hecond reading of a measure, thoy recomii/.u thoir full right to modify ita dotail.-j as they think proper. And so it waa with the bill in question, which in principle was for the purpose of eatobliahing high schools m Now WuBtniinster, Nanainio and utlior parts of the province,and to moot tho extra cost which Would thus be incurred, a clauso was inserted, but not iimiatud up- j on by tho government, providing a hiuuH fee to meet the extra expenditure, which would be thus incurred.

In dealing with thia clause, in c(miinit-teo, Mr. Theodoro Daviu ia reported aa follows: (We take the report from our file of tho "iUrd January, 1831, which is opon to iuapeution a't our oflice).

"Mr. T. Davie thought the subject should be debated from the broad standpoint it deserved, vi^s., the basis of public education It was desirable that all parts of tho province should havu ei[ual advantages in this direction, which liu hoped would bo shortly forthcoming, in fact lio could not see why tho govornmont was not at present in a sulhoiently good financial position to do this at oneo. He could not see that the support of a high school was in any way detrimental to the free, achooU of the nrovince, and until il h:iil been shown'to bo so HE .STlK^NtiIA DlO-PREUATED ANY CHANciK IN THE yySTEM. [Hear, liear| (;IVKCHIL DREN No'f ONLV EDl'OA ITON, Bl'T THE MOST LIBERAL ONE THaT COULD BE C0N8IST1;NTLV PROCURED. He ahould do Ilia ut-nioal to MAINTAIN THE 1''REE SCHOOL SYSTEM To U'S FULLEST SCOFfi AND EXTKNT. It was not ingenuous in opposition niem-bors to obstruct a governiiieiit which had not been tho fir.
