citizens and other citizens of the world may be stimulated to read her story. This Board came into existence in 1919, caving to rem-e. sentatlons made to the Department of Interior that, “The care which a nation devotes to the preservation of the monuments of its past may serve as a true measure of the degree of civilization to which it has attained."

Tile Board acts 1n an advisory capacity to the Department of the Interior. Its functions is to advse in conserving remains or sites/assoc- itcd with the early history of Can- ada, to perpetuate the memory of those pest historic events and per- sons whose part in the building of the Dominion was of national im- portance. Though the Board con- cerns itself_ primarily with events and personages of national import- ance it tries to interpret the phrase

bour. some criticism ‘and an oc-' casional outbreak of sectionalism. but, on the whole one feels that;

considerable benefit has been de-' rived by Canadians from the pres- ence in their various localities of‘ these memorials planted by the‘

kon and from the Teniisconata Portage to Nootka sound.

Geography s. Factor

From this brief survey of the; work of the Historic Sites and. Mon. uments Board of Canada, it will have been seen that Prince Edlvard, Island has hitherto had only one‘ tablet erected to commemorate her, interesting history. Tilis has becnl due in part, but only in part. tol the fact that her history is not well known. The chief reason lies at the very foundation of her his- tory and above all of her geog-l raphy. Detached by nature from the remainder of the continent

sites and honour people of provin- cial importance, and more local

events of purely local interest.

The Board has adopted three types of memorial, a boulder. a cairn and a. cut stone monument; and one| standard type of tablet. 0n the tablet. which will hold convenient- ly and leglloly only 500 letters, the baresi. outlines of an event or pub- llc character can be recorded: but an effort is made in each instance to catch and preserve the spirit 0r significance of an event or charac- ter, in the hope that when interest is aroused citizens of Canada will pursue their studies till their legi-

socleiies to look after sites and-

aloof and comparatively interested spectator. Repeatedly ‘her fortun- es have been determined by events which happened in Port Royal, An- napolis Royal. lZ-ouisburg. Halifax, Quebec or Ottawa. and her states- men have hadto play their parts behind more conspicuous figures on‘- a larger stage, or have confined their efforts to the local field. Thus. when a Board, such as the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. attemps to adopt the criterion of national importance ln ' decding what places or parsonagcs to com- memorate. it finds itself compelled

repeatedly to leave Prince Edward Island in that state of splendid iso-l

timaie curiosity is satisfied. At un- veiling ceremonies such as this, something further is mid. which may quicken that interest and sat- isfy that curiosity.

Much Competition

l Naturally there 1s considerable I competition amongst localities t0 llhave a monument of national 1m- portance. Apart from the pardon- able self-esteem which a monument brings to a locality, it provides a ‘disitnct stimulus to teachers and pupils of a community to study their local history, for adults, an incentive to local patriotism or cLvic pride, and ln days of depression all are reminded that in the pest great things were done under even harder conditions than the present; while in days of rejoicng one finds something to point to with pride as worthy of emulation. Considering this competition for memorials and the Boardis criter- ion of national importance it is to be cxpcetcd that many proposals have been made to the Board which could not be accepted. On an average it works out that one in five is declared of national im- portance. During the past 14 meetings of the Board. and by correspond- cnce in the intervals between meetings, some 900 sites and events connected with the military, econ- omic and indusrtial progress of the Dominion have been reveiwed by tile Board. Of these i100 proposals. some 200 have been accepted, in- scrlpllorls drafted and tablet; cast. By tile end of 1932, I06 memorials had been erected, 208 tablets cast and 60 fences built around memor- ials. These have been distributed about the Dominion u follows: In Prince Edward Island. one tablet: in Nova scour, l8 calms. 1 boul- der, 3 monuments, 26 tablets. and ll fences; in New Brunswick, 9 calms, o boulders, 5 monuments. I! tab- lets. and a fence»; 1n Qflww- 93 enii-ns, 5 boulders. 2 m- uments. 44 tablets. and l6 fences: in Ontario. 2s cup-up, 1 boulder, 5 monuments, 65 jnblcts. and 20 fences; in West- ern Canada. :43 calms.‘ 2 boulders. nmnuments, 4B tablets and l2

his has entailed much ia-

‘Sites and Monuments Board to the

lotion to which it has been relega- ted by both history and geography. This is the main reason why so far only one’ tablet has been unve‘lcd on Prince Edward Island.

However, I am happy to say that in the two years that I have been on the Board. because I know the hsltory of this Island and also the fundamental desire of the Board to be just and reasonable, I have been able to obtain this tablet which we are unveiling today and also approval of twp calms and tablets which will be erected in the near futurefThe first of these will be 10- cated near Holland Cove and will commemorate the Rrst Organized Land survey in British North Am- erlca. carrle dout by Captain I-Iol- land in 1765. The other will com- menlorate the activities of Jean Pierre Roma at Three Rivers, Isle St. Jean, 1732-45, and will be lo- cated at Brudcnell Point. In an- nouncing the approval of these two memorfals by the Board I wish to testify on this occcasion to the courtesy of the Board in listening to my proposals and in giving un- animous assent; and I want you all to remember that it is history and geography, not historians or geographers that have pre-ordain; ed that few incidents of national importance should have happened in this beautiful littlc island.

In‘ conclusion, Professor Harvey thanked Mr. H. R. Stewart, Deputy Provincial Secretary, for having called the attention of the Historic

claims of this Province in connec- tion with the laying of the first ocean cable in America. I-Ie also thanked the chief sileaker. Mr.

A. B. Morrison, Chief Justice Mathieson and Mr. J. M. Murley for assisting at the ceremony, and referred with regret to the absence. through illness, of Mr. T. C. James. of Mulgrave, N. 8.. a former super- intendent of the telegraph service in this Province and for many years a highly esteemed citizen of Charlottetown. Regret was also expressed st the unavoidable ab- sence of I-lis Honour Lieutenant Governor Dalton and Premier the

‘critically examined. a suspicion is Newfoundland was succc.

often generated that there have been many in tile world who have

found and taken or received credit for what they never did. In 184i) Mr. C. V. Walker laid a

covered wire in the English Channel

connected to 83 miles of telegraph line erected to London, and messag- es were exchanged between London and Mr. Walker, on board the steamer "Princess Clementine" at sea.‘ On the 28th of August 1850 a'sin- gle comier wire covered with gutta pcrcha was laid from Dover to Cal- ais, messages were interchanged between the two shores, but the cable failed the next morning. A more substantial cable was manil- factured and successfully laid the following year and worked for over twenty years.

In i850 the late Hon. William H. Pope obtained from the Prince Ed- ward Island Legislature a charter conferring the right to operate an Electric Telegraph in the Island. This charter was purchased by a company named the Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island Electric Telegraph Company and was in- corporated in 1852.

Newfoundland Project

In 185i n. project was started in Newfoundland to run a line of steamers between Galway and St. Johns ln connection with a tele- graph to Cape Ray, where n. sub- nlarine cable was to be laid to Capo Breton. and another cable to East Point, Prince Edward Island, and from Cape Traverse to Cape Tormentine, New Brunswick.
