LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Changes in the West.

Sir,—More than seven years haveelapsed since I left the shores of Prince Edward Isiand*for Manitobs. What a change those years have wrought in this country! The, old winding trails along which once toiled the Indian and ‘Red River cart” have al-, most disappeared, and the iron horse along ithe ‘‘Chemin de fer’ draws the wealth of the continent and the rich merchandize of the isles of the sea; whilst, seated in the palatial car, you see the traveller from the far Orient side by side with the denizen of the Occident. Here now in the streets of our towns meet and jostle men from every nation under heaven. Seven years ago, how lonely these prairies to the few that were scattered over their long stretches of grassy plain. Now, with thousands upon thousands acres of waving grain, dotted with the houses of the industrious owners, the lonliness of these vast plains is lost | amid the sights and sounds of; civilization. I am at present sta-/ tioned at a small town called Griswold, on the C. P. R. main line, some twenty-six miles west of Brandon, in the midst of a

Our Public Schools. To the Editor of the Week:

Simz,—I read with much plearure the paragraph in the leading article of the Week of the 25th July last, in which you remark and refer to the Bystander as agree- ing with you that three-fourths of those who use the public schools are just «s well able to pay for the schooling of their children as for their food and clothing, and are equally bound to do so ; that there is reoson to fear the very class fer which gratuitous education is needed don’t avail themselves of the provision; that if the state of the law is such that we are unable to get the children of the poorest educated, it should be altered for that purpose; and that the free education of all classes which is in many cases given in the high schools is something still more unreasonable ; in all which I most cordially agree, as 1 do also with your concluding remark that the pro- vision last mentioned is not merely unjust to those who make no use of these schools, but is frequently injurious to those who are induced to use them, when they might be better employed in manual labor. With reference to this last remark, I think it would do no harm to call the attention of your readers to the following extract from Mr. Punch’s sensible and dramatic illustra- tion of the case as respects the public schools in England :—

TOO CLEVER BY HAL¥, Being questions and answers cut on the

straight.

Question —So you have finished your edu- cation ? Answer.—Yes, thanks to the liberality of the School Board. Q.--Do you know more than your parents? A.—Certainly, as my father was a sweep and my mother a char-woman. Q.—Would either occupation suit you ? A.—Certainly not, my aspirations soar above such pursuits, and my health impaired by excessive study, unfits me for a life of manual labor, Q.—Kindly mention what occupation would suit you? A.—I think I could, with a little cramming, pass the examinations for the army, the navy, or the bar. Q.—Then why not become an officer in either branch of the United Service, ora member of one of the Inns of Court ?

A.—Because I fear, that as a man of neither birth nor breeding, I should be regarded with contempt in either the camp or the forum.

Q.—Would you take a clerkship in the city?

A.—Not willingly, as I have enjoyed better than a commercial education; besides city clerkships are not to be had for the asking.

Q.—Well, would you become a shop boy or a counter-jumper ?

A.—Certainly not; 1 should deem it a sin to waste my accomplishments (which are many) in filling a situation suggestive of the servants’ hall rather than of the library.

Q.—Well, then, how are you to make an honest livelihood ?

A.—Those who are responsible for my edu- cation must answer that question.

Q.—And if they can’t ?

A.—Then I must accept an alternative and seek inspiration and precedents from the records of success in another walk of life, be- — with the pages of the Newgate Cal- en

—Punch, July 12, 1890.

Pwich is a moralist and philosopher of the laughing school; but our English pro- verb tells us, there is many a true word spoken in jest. The Roman philosopher and poet asks : Ridentem dicere varum,— Quid vetat? ‘* What hinders a jester from speaking the truth? Common sense an- swers nothing hinders, and Pwnch’s il!ustra- tion is apposite to his case in hand. It is not right that boys should receive at the public expense an education which unfits them for manual labor; and those who make the laws, which give them such education at the cost of the tax-payer, are responsible and must answer the questions which Punch’s examiner puts, ucation at the public expense should be given only to those whose parents cannot pay for it, and should apply to such subjects as will be of use to them in such callings and emp!oy- ments as they may reasonably be sup- posed likely to be engaged in, and should certainly not be such as would unfit them for manual labor, the independence and res- pectability of which, especially in sgricul- tural pursuits, should be always strongly in- sisted upon. Institutions for higher edu- cation should be supported by voluntary contributions, or if aided from the public purse, should only be so to a very moderate extent, and for purposes in which the state has a direct interest, or which are connect- ed with the scholar’s probable calling and means of support. No one should be plac- ed at the cost of the taxpayer, in the posi- tion in which Punch’s examiner finds him- self by being *‘ too clever by half.”

Odds and Ends. Conscience is that within us that tells us when our neighbors are doing wrong.

‘The prisoners work like a charm.” ** How’s that? On the end of a chain.”

It is said that ail the great forces in nature are silent forces, but you couldn’t make a henpecked husband believe it.

The man who worries most about what people think of him is usually the kind of man the people do not think of at all,

A man who is resting easily beneath the eas branches of his own obscurity ould not mistake the buzzing of the flies for a call to go forth and run for office, “James, [was very sorry to see you come home last night in such a condition. I thought you told me you:would not touch another glass?" ‘‘An’ so I did not, mum.” ‘*‘Why, James, James?” “Sure, mum, it wasn't a glass at all; it were one o’ them original packidges, mum.” , **You look upon me at least as afriend ?” he murmured, grasping her hand. She threw down her eyes, and her voice whis- red: **Oh, yes.” ‘*AndcanI dare to ope to be looked upon as a still nearer, dearer relation?” She spoke cordially and ** Certainly, |
