| The Prince of Wales College.

‘-The chief diffculty in this connection arises from the factthat we have no Science Master in our Provincial College and Normal School.” — Ktract sSrom report of Chief Supt of Education for 1888.”

| Str,—The above quotation, taken from the report of the Chief Superintendent of Edueation, is par excellence what is sorely required in the Prince of Wales Collece It is true Principal Anderson attempts to | tcach the elements of science in the Col- lege ; but, as may be expected, with no ‘great result, for, as Mr. Montgomery has Shown* ‘it requires the enthusiasm and devotion of a specialist” to make the students in attendance thoroughly conver- ‘sant with this most important branch of practical education. I have no fault to tind with the way classics and mathematics are taught in the College, for Iam _ con- vinced that Mr. Anderson and stati are eminently qualified to teach those subjects; ‘but as to the way Natural Philosophy, ‘Agricultural Chemistry, etc., are taught to the students (a great many of whom atiend ‘there under great financial disadvantages), I have very little to say in commendation. |Even if Principal Anderson were, without |the shadow of a doubt, qualified to teach all the subjects coming under this head— |which I doubt very much—under his pre- isent method of teaching he could not ‘devote sufficient time to them. In no ‘educational institution is Principal Ander- son’s prescribed method tolerated. Each Profeesor SHOULD teach one certain branch with which he is thoroughly proficient in, and devote his whole time and attention to that particular study.

But in the Prince of Wales College, each professor has a distintly separate class of his own, and he alone, teaches every branch they learn. Principal Anderson teaches at once, Latin, Greek, English and Mathematics to his advanced class. Mr. Lepage teaches the intermediate class nearlyjall they learn,and so on, Now, why should this method go on in the Prince of Wales College! It is years behind the age, and savors strongly of ‘‘land o’ cakes,” in the far distant ages of the ‘‘pod auger” and the ‘‘old oaken bucket.”

I would take upon myself, with your per- mission. Mr. Editor, the responsibility of suggesting that Principal Arderson occupy the chair of Mathematics, which I know by personal experience he is pre-eminently qualified to fill; and that either Professor's Caven or Lepage teach classics; but Pro- fessor Lepage, by all means, to teach French, while Professor Caven continue to discourse music, and the practical industries and training required for the Normal School candidates.

Respecting Agricultural Chemisiry, Natural Philosophy, Physics, and subjects which properly come under the head of ‘Science,’ by whatI know, therefore, of the Prince of Wales College staff, 1 emphati- cally affirm that there is not the necessary amount of Scientific knowledge in their otherwise mammoth brains ‘‘to awaken throughout the province, and from the Normal School as a centre, a sufficient degree of interest in this department of school work.” It therefore becomes in- cumbent upon the Government, and parties interested in education, to see that there be a ‘‘Science master in our provincial College and Normal School,” for the coming school year.

It would only cost about two thousand dollars, including paraphernalia, indispens- able to his capacity, to secure the service of a specialist. Then, education, instead of costing $101,193.41, as it did last year, would only cost $10,193.41, and then Prince of Wales’ College, would be a well- equipped institution, comparing favorably with any institution of its kind in the Maritime Provinces. The all-important branch —Agricultural Chemistry, would then be taught more frequently than one hour a week for half the school term, and that, too, before the perscribed hour of opening in the morning. Greek and Latin ace very good in their place, but Greek and Latin will not educate the farmer’s son— who supports the College—to till the ground ; to cultivate the gentle, undulat- ing dales of his own beautiful isle, happi'y called the ‘‘Gem of the Sea’’—the ‘‘Garden of America.” Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for your valuable space,

lam yours, Z.

Travelling in the Air.

Germany and Russia are both pushing forward experiments in flying machines for use in war. It appears that the direction in which these are working is the only one likely to be successful. It ignores the in- flated yas bag, which is enormous in size, difficult and costly to fill in war, and floats —a gigantic derelict—at the mercy of every current of air, a huge mark for the first gunner who can hit and bring te the ground. They adopt the principle of the incline plane pressed against the air, and thus capable of making some attempt, at least, to regulate itsown course. In the kite the force that presses the inclined{plane is the hand of the boy acting through the string. In the sail boat the resistance of the water to sidelong motion, keeps the sail pressed against the wind. In flying machines, the pressure is given by an en- gine carried by the machine, and acting by means of fans of one sort or the other. The difficulty at present, is the weight of the engine and fuel, but with the develop- of electrical practical knowledge, we may fairly expect to see accumulators, which will supply the maximum of power with the minimum of weight. Then the pro- blem of flying in still air, will be solved. Whether we shall be able to ride the storm is another matter. —Brooklyn Eagle.

It is believed that the opportunity will soon be made for the Emperor William to meet Francis Joseph and the Czar together.
