Exhibitions.

In their address to the Lieutenant-Gov ernor, the Commissioners of the Provincv Exhibition referred to the fact that twenty ohe years have prs ed since the drill si ec was used as an exhibition building Di cide 1} vements have, certainly, in th meantime, been introduced. There is 3 great ai lerence oclween the Exhibition ol vesterday and those in which the cattle were tied to trees in Holland Grove, an? the horse of the purest breeding wa ** Royal Harry. We are greatly indebted to the Government for what has been done,

to the Board of Commissioners, and mor

partic ularly to their Secretary, who, through evil and through good report, when the Grits happened to be in office and when the Tories administered the affairs of the Pro vince, has been steadfast and active In pro moting the cause of the annually recurrin

THURSDAY—-AFTERNOON SESSION.

rHE IDEAL OF THE TEACHER.

Tuer afternoon session began at 2 1d. Principat Miller submitted the report of the Business Committee, after which the President made an Inaugural Address, be referred to the advantage to be derived from such a convention, even though no- thing mure practical were attained in the sense of re-union and brotherhood, and re- lief from the solitude which many teachers uust necessarily feel in remote district fo him, the meeting with old a real pleasure, and social aspect of the Convet- would almost alone be its justi- feation. Hethen introduced Miss Lawson, of Spring Park School, who read a paper mn ** What is the matter with our Conven- tions?” We shall not attempt an abstract f the ess y; further than to say that it marked out a number of subjects of discus- sion upon which wanted ight, and others were recognized authori- ies. She thought tvat teachers were not of the use to one another that they might be: that their sessions were tuo formal, too renera!; their deliberations remaining for the most part in vague solution, and not yie ding the erystal deposit of prectical re- suit. There was a discussion upon the mper, taken part in by Messrs. Stewart, MceDovald, Miller, Seaman, Kielly and thers.

The Rev. Mr. McMillan, after compli- nenting the reader of the tirst paper, then delivercd an address on Education. de referred to the vbject of all education

fitness—and spoke of the influences to ” made use of to secure this « bject. He eferred at length to the need of diligent iomne-training as preparatory to the schovi, nd assured the convention , of his sym- vathy with them in all that tends to educate hose under their charge.

Mr. McSwain expressed his pleasure vith the papers read, and thought that the Cenvention was doing very profitable, if vot the best, work in hearing and consider- ing such.

A somewhat lively discussion then arose,

ed off by Mr. Allan Stewart, of Stanley, is tou the main object, the ideal, to be kept in sight in conducting a public school. This was, in his opinion, the greatest good £ the greatest number—-and the greatest those who do not fol- low the learned professions, but who have; to settle on the-farm or in the workshop. [he true criterion of the education of a country was not the perfection of culture ittained by the few, but the general level f intelligence among the the population—the manual workers, the ovcu- piers and owners of the soil. These were the people, and public education should be lirected primarily to the advancement of these. After some brief speeches from other members, it was announced that this sub- ject would be further discussed on Frid: y, to be introduced by a paper from Mr. C. Kie ly. Session then adjourned.

God Save the Queen.

Miss Scott’s sulo was nicely sung, but her voice was hardly strong enough to do t full justice. The *‘ Pilot Brave,” by Messrs. A. J. Macdougall and McNally, was well sung and well received. The solo and chorus, ** Les Montagnards,” was splendid- y rendered, the voices blending particular- y well in the chorus. The different -horases by the pupils were capital, reflect-

g every credit upon the little ones nd their tutor, ‘*Maud Muller” was s mewhat antiquated, and long drawn out, sut the enunciation was clear. Miss darris’ reading, descriptive of the troubles « newly-married couple bad in warding off ourglars, was well read and well received Miss Nel-ie Lawson's excellent rendition of ** One More,” greatly pleased those present. The violin duet was very good. The ac- companists were Misses. Haslam, Far- yubarson and Arsenault, and Prof. Logan and Mr. Theodore Gallant. Their playing was excellent. Owing to the length of one or two of the addresses the programme had tu be curtailed somewhat.

Dr. Anderson remarked upon the im- portance of education and the attention it was attracting at the present day. He ealled attention to the reference to educa- tion contained in the address and reply at the opening of the Exhibition. He did not think it was higher education that was

lriving the people out of the country, «4 the greater number of those who went ibroad were net educated. However, tiiose who had the advantage ot a good education wore leaving the Island were able to cope uccessfully with the people with whom

.| heir Jot was cast. He thought it was the iuty of parents to see that their chldren ire well educated, so that when they go sbroad and compete with the educ.ted people in other countries, they will have an , | equal chance for success. He also touched ,} upon the importance of studying agricultu- Tal science.

Rev. 8. Weston Jones said he believed in encouraging the teachers. They have all the discouragements, the scholars the encouragements. Teachers should liave ‘heir hearts in their work in order to be necessful; but he feared that this was not Le case with some of them. ers svould think every day that they are ia ving he foundation ot future success in jife : He Jd not know how the teachers were aid rere; but hoped they received a se ary ‘omumensurate with the arduous duties uey have to perform.

duct would have a pleasing and beneficial effect upon their pupils. In closing he ex- pressed regret that the rudiments of the Bivle were not allowed to be taught in the public schools,

A.B. Warburton, Esq., had much pleasure in addressing such a large and intelligent audience. He thought that to the past generation of teachers belongs the credit of training up the present excellent educa- tors. Islanders were, a8 & general thing, woll educated and trained, and were very successful abroad. He had met Island teachers in the Northwest and in British Columbia, and their great success in their work created a demand for teachers from the Island. He thought that this showed a thoroughness in our system of education that was very desirable. Education, tw his mind, depended altogether upon its thoroughness, and he strongly urged upou his hearers the necessity of keeping this fact ever uppermost in their minds. Senator Haythorne said that the further education was carried with us the less dan- ver there was of making mistakes in after life. Inreference to the statement that many of our young people were forsaking the farms for what they looked upon as more genteel occupations, he said he could not see why farmers could not enjoy all the advantages of education as well as others. There certainly was nothing in their caliing to prevent their doing so. In the last holt century schools for the study of scientific agriculture had been established through- out the world, and were doing much good. He strongly urged the necessity of a care- ful study thereof. It was better to learn # little thoroughly than a good deal super- ficially.

FRIDAY—FORENOON SESSION. The convention opened at ten o'clock this forenoon, the President, Dr. Anderson, inthe chair. After some routine business, Mr. Seaman submitted the following reso- lution :— Resolved, that the Provincial Teacher's As- sociation of Prince Edward Island be held biennually instead of annuaily, and that in the alternate year County Associations be held instead. Messrs. Seaman and Wickham spoke in favor of the resolution, and Messrs. Miller and Campbell in opposition thereto, after which it was put and lost. Mr: McSwain read a paper on ‘* Indus- trial Education ;’ Mr. Daly a paper on ‘Education and Educators ;” and Mr. Kielly a paper on ‘* The Educational Re- quirements of the Country.” Each paper was well written and well received. Aiter the reading of these papers there was considerable discussion on some alleged defects in our educational system. The speakers were Dr. Anderson, Superintend- ent Montgomery, Principal McLeod, (Sum- merside), Mr. A. C. Stewart, Mr. Gallant, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Kielly and others. Convention adjourned till 2 p. m.

Struck by Lightning.

A few days ago, Toe ExaMINrR announce: ed the death, in Minnesota, by lightning, of Mr. Frederick Rodd, son of Mr. Win. H. Rodd, of North Wiltshire, in this pro- vince. A correspondent of the St. Vincent New Era publishes the following particu- lars of the sad event : “*®n Monday last the farmers of Humboldt went to work as usual in the harvest field, little dreaming that ere noon, death in a sudden and terri- ble form would claim one of their number, that, ere noon, one, in the full vigor of his manhood, would be called upon to tread ‘that mystic shore unknown to human ken.” At about half-past eight, a storm was seen approaching from the Northwest, at about nine it burst upon us in ali its fury. The flashing of lightning, and crash- iug of thunder, was something terrible t« witness. Messrs. E. Clow and Frederick Rodd were busy stacking wheat on Mr Clow’s farm, and were just fiuishing a stack when Mr. Clow smelled sulphur in the air. He calied toMr. Rodd, and jumped into the wagen. Rodd jumped in with a pitch- fork in each hand. They had searcely start - ed when they were struck by the lightning. Mr. Clow says that he retained his con- sciousness, but that he could neither hear nor move. His cries for help attracted the attention of the hands on the ** Hui” farm near by. They at once came to thsir aid, took them in, and did all that could be done for them. Mr. Rodd was fonnd to be dead, having been struck in the head and dif- ferent parts of the body. His clothing were badly burned and torn. Mr. Clow’s lower limbs and the lower part of his body were paralyzed, but ina short time he regained the use of his limbs, and by evening was able to walk. Capt. Donaldston at once had a room made ready, into which all that remained of Frederick Rodd has taken and prepared for burial by sorrowing friends. Phe funeral took place at 2 o’cluck on Tues- day, Rev. Treglawny officiating. The burial service was read at the school house, after which a large number of sorrowing friends, among whom was not a relative of the deceased, followed the body to its last resting place.

The Mr. Clow above referred to is also a native of this Province.
