Labour in Harvest Time.

In harvest time, as every one of com- mon sense and intelligence knows, it is absolutely necessary to “push” a jittle; the weather 1s the main-spring, by it the work proceeds Should rain threaten aud tle farmer's grain be ready to house all hands work with might and main, else perhaps the farmer's losses will be heavy, and the produce of a year ruined In speaking of what ‘‘meu were expected to de ten years ago.” “Labourer” omits to mention that at the present time farmers pay their men three times the wages they paid them then, besides having much more machinery to save work, and many more conveniences and

}

comforts. Having to pay such high | © wages, the farmer necessarly capnot

afford to keep mauvy men, and sometimes | t'¢ grain is wasted for want of efficient | hilp, as “some men” are so careful of} themselves that no matter how much de- pends upon energy aud promptness they will not exert themselves.

As a general rule the farm laborer gets | good board, and plenty of it; his clothes | are inexpensive, and at the present rate | of wages, if he is careful, industrious and |

saving, he has as good a chance as any- | one else to succeed in hife. The usual} hour for getting up in the morning is

five o clock insummer, breakfast at six ;

if uo luncheon is sent out to the field the) men are called in to dinner at eleven or| half-past ; and during harvest, if hurried, | they rest no Icenger than is absolutely) necessary. men are a long di tance from the house, | and in the evening a supper is prepared | for those who wish it. Some men will) not eat at night. During wivter the days

they can surely rise at five a m. Farm-| Port Hui..| 10.27 “ 1 3.30 *

try will listen to such a statement for it is a well-known fact that on “agricultural pursuits’ the prosperity of the country depends. And there is no man happier on the face of the earth than the wealthy, intelligent farmer.

Matthew Arnold and the “ Pail Mali Gazette” on Education.

Matthew Arnold, in his Rede lecture on “ Literature and Science,” declared that be meant by knowledge of the best that has been thought and said in the world, a true and thorough knowledge of which language and books are only the instruments; and for such knowledge, whether physical or not, he claims the title of science. “All learning is scien- tific which is systematically laid out and followed up to its original sourccs, and a genuine humanism is scientific.” More particularly, the knowledge of Greek and Roman antiquity does not meau simply an acquaintance with Greek and Latiu books, but ** knowing the Greeks apd Romans, and their life and genius, what they were aud did in the world; what we got from them, and what is its value.” Aud so likewise as to modern nations and their literature. The Pall Mail Gazette, in commenting on Mr. Arnold’s lecture, says :—‘* Our classical school routine, the vulgar- ised residue of the great move- ment of the Renzissance, has erred precisely in this—that instead of makiug humanists of English youth, it mude them indifferent specialists in a rather narrow field of scholarship, and con- temptuous not only of science, but of all the humanities themselves outside that field. A certain number of them had a genius for scholarship, and became brilliant specialists (though much more ignorant of other things than they need have been), but at the expense of those who had it not. Precisely the same thing happened at a more advanced stage in the Cambridge mathematical training. Im the race for honors, mathematics were carried, by men who had no inv- ten in of becoming specialists, far be- youd the point where mental discipliae eods and specialism begins. And it be- hooves the advocates of the natural seiences to be careful that in their zeal for reform they do vot merely substitute one kivd of unintelligent routine for’ avother. It is certainly better to have a sound kpowledge of elementary physics than to make bad Latin verses, and, as only a small number of people will, | under ordiuary circumstances, ever make good Latin verses this amounts to saying taat our boys’ and girls’ time will on the average be vot so well spent iv trying to make Latin verses as in learning the elements of physics. But this assumes the teaching of physics to be, so far as it goes, sound and thorough. A smatterin
