"You have a greet part to play" the students were told. "not only a physical but. more important. a. moral and an intellectual one. Making a livelihood alone is not the big question today. 1t is easy to get three meals a day".

Life is like that. he said; it is not lived by one long continuous grind. but. by periods of struggle “We have worked hard during the nine month session and now that; we have achieved our goal we are go- ing to lay down our work for the summer".

Referring to those who lied not been successful in the year's work. the Principal said that he believed the trouble could in many cases be traced back to the prim- ary grades in the schools.

"We need a tremendous over- hauling of our education runchin- cry". Dr. Robertson declared.

The only place. bppztrently, where youth and immaturity are no barrier to work is in the school rooms of Prince Edward Island. "The young teachers are doing marvellous work but don't you he. lieve you are not giving proper credit to the parents who are steudylng the child and seeing he has the right environment. If it were not for the parent at home there would be a much larger fall- ure to report. ill the public school system of Prince Edward Island"

Anyone looking at the school sys- tem must admit that the lust 40 years have produced a great change. Years rlgo there was in the teaching profession a [large number of choice experienced teachers. Teachers of maturity and experience who not only adminis- tered to the pupils of their own schools but who were the ideals to which the young teachers looked.

Docking Facilities And Other Ques- tions Discussed At Tirade Board Com- mittee Meeting.

A brief setting forth the neces- sity for harbor improvements in the port of Charlottetown. outlin- ing suggested improvements in docking facilities ands. marine slip or dry dock. will be prepared by the Transportation Committee ct the Charlottetown Board of Trade under the chairmanship of Mr. J. O. Hyndman, it was decided last night.

Speakers at a. joint. meeting of the. Harbor Improvement and Transportation Committees includ- ed Messrs. J. O. l-lyndman. L. D. Murray, Alfred Piokard. George Buniain. Lt. Col. C.L. McKay, H. Burke. W. Chester S. McLure, His Worship Mayor P. W. Turner. RE. Mulch. H.K.S. Hamming. S. A. McLeod, Peter Sinclair. My, Mr, R. R. Bell, chairman of the Board of Tracie presided.

The brief, decided upon follow- ing a suggestion by Mr. McLure, will be presented to Hon. c. A. Dunning. and to Ml‘. Peter sin- clair, M.P., during Hon. Mp Dun- ning‘s visit hora probably in July.

Need for improved facilities for motor traffic to and from the Province at Borden and the Brigh. ion bridge uroieet were also refer- red to briefly.

“Our front door is practically closed to passenger and freight movement at the present tlme“Mr. Hyndmnn declared, referring to what he described as the totally inadequate docking facilities in Charlottetown. Here, in tile lm. PTOVIIIE of DOYt facilities is It pro- ject that would solve the unem. ploynlcrit problem in Charlottetown for several years. the speaker pointed out.

Is the Expenditure Justified?

The question may be asked "Ls the expenditure Justified?” Who count; the cost of the canals of upper Canada or ‘the mlllluns floured into the Hudson Bey Rail- way? the speaker questioned. Im- provement of harbor facilities in Charlottetown was one of the rec- ommendations of the Duncan Commission. Such afiiroject would be a benefit not only to char. lottetown but would prove to be "the making of Prince Edward Is- land".

Mr. Hyndmen read a letter which he, as chairman of the Transportation Committee, received from Mr. George Buntafn. It re- ferred to the difficulty encountered in the unloading of a ctirgt) of molasses here from the Canadian Steamship "Cornwallis". The ship, drawing 25 feet of water. was moored across the head of the BiintairtBell and Marine wharvcs. She grounded while still some feet glrlthc_wtfi~vrls at half tide and
