Mr Ives —We have been led to under- | standtha® appointments to vflice under the ‘Edueition Act are not discussed by the ‘Boare¢ of Education, but by the Govern- jmentin caucus. I believe that the state- | mentas quite correct. When the B ard of Eduestion have a meeting, they merely go through the form of passing certain reso!u- ‘tions which have p ‘eviously been agreed to jin caueus. It is uafortunate that the offi- {cials funder our education system are the } mere tools of the G -verninent for the time ‘being, and that, instead of being the ad- visers of the Government, they are com- pelled to obey orders. Now, if they are to be merely cats’-paws of the Government in power, their usefulness is materially lessened. The Government arrange mat- ters to suit themselves ; but we. the most interested parties, are not consulted at all. The question was then put, and the clause was unanimously agreed to.

Fifth Clause, respecting the establish- ment of & newspaper representing eduos- tional imterests, was theu read.

Mr. Seaman—W2 d> not see our way clear te estubiish a newepaper, but would like to secure a column in some paper

already established, over which the editor would exercise no censor- ship, but which would be under

the complete control pf a committee ap- pointed to supply suitable matter for it. The editor would simply announce that he was not_responsible for what appeared in that column.

Mr. R. H. Campbell—In what paper would such a colurau be secured? If in Tue Examiner, oniy Conservatives would see it; if in the Patriot, only Liberals would see it. As all the teachers will not take the same paper, it will be difficult to meet the case. I believe that the proposal was abandoned for the same reason sume years ago. If an educationol journal were established, I think we could secure at least 609 teachers as subscribers for it, and there can be no doubt that Boards of School Trustees would also subscribe. I have been informed by newspaper men that if we could obtain 500 -subscribers for

a j ypapar, it would be self-sus- sfertnighiluipsper, it woul be self-e Mr. Seaman—The column we formerly had charge of in one of the newspapers did not die out for the reason given by Mr. Campbell. It was secured only for the purpose of answering questions sent in by the teachers to the gentlemen in charge of it, and failed for want of material.

Mr. N. McLeod—Have the Business Committee any idea of the person to ba selected as editor of the pr posed column ? lt would be unbusinesslike to pass this clanse without knowing who is to take charge of the column preposed.

Mr. Seaman.—It will be time enough when the clause has been passed to appoint aperson to take charge of the editorial work.

The question was then put, and the clause unanimously passed.

Sixth elause, respecting the purchase of a flag for the use of the Association, was then read.

Mr. Ives.—If we had a flag floating over every schoolhouse on the Island, our Fs would have more respect for the Union ack. Over every schoolhouse, in the United States the Stars and Stripes are floating, and why should we not float our tlay over our scheolhouses? By all means, let us have the proposed fisg fur our Inati- tute, '

Clause unanimafisly agreed to.

The report, a8 & whole, was then unani- mously adopted, The following reodtaston was moved by Mr. Seaman, seconded by Mr. McSwain, and unanimously agreed te =

Whereas, At the m of

Legislature, legislation sbe introduced affecting the educatio ,

7... of the Province, -

And whereas no orale hitherto been made to get an expression ef opinion trom the members of this institute. on any matters occurring during the recess,

Therefure Resolved, That the Executive be instructed to calla special meeting ef Con- vention if any matters of sufficient importance transpire during the recess to warrant it.

Mr. Seaman said that an amendment of the by-laws of the Association was neces- sary, and he would therefore move the fol- lowing :—

Resolved,—That Article 40 of the By- Laws be amended so as to read: ‘** Meeting shall be held annually during the month of July, on any day which may be decided on by the Executive Committee, and in such place as they may agree on.” Motion put and carried.

Questions from the Question Box were then discussed. :

First Question —Would it not be better to have the School Sessions of uniform leogth throughout the year, instead of un- equal length as at present ?

Mr. Ives—-This is a matter which con- cerns the country teachers only, as the city teachers already have the advantage of & uniform length of school sessions. Uni- formity in length of school sessions is quite necessary for country schools as well. Short sessions in winter and long sessions in summer are just the reverse of what they should be. In some countries they have long sessions in winter and short ses- siens in summer. Certainly the cold season is best suited for continued study, and during that seasou I always find it necessary, to detain my classes longer than the pre- scribed sessions, It is easy to see that the

e Provincial

quirements of our schools. In summer we have a different set of pupils to texch, who do not require lengthy sessions. Gcnerally speaking, the senior classes attend in win- ter and the junior ones in summer, and as the former require more attention than the latter, longer sessions are required. 1! have conversed with teachers, parents and trus- tees with respect to this matter, and all agree that our present winter sessions are too short. Our evenings in winter are

pils. Summer evenings are not so well suited for home work. In short, the win- ter season is best suited in all respects for hard study, both at school and at home. The most feasible way of overcoming the difficulty is that proposed by our former Inspector for the Western District, Mr, J. S. Murray, viz., that the summer sessions in school be shortened and the winter ones lengthened. By adopting that plan, more time would be spent each year in the schoolroom than at present. If the school sessions were made of a uniform length of five hours, it would be better for all concerned. I believe that if chis mat- ter were propetly explained tu the Board of Education they would have it remedied. (Anplause. )

Mr. R. H. Campbeli—y quite agree with the views just advanced by Mr. Ives, who has presented the case so fully that he has left little to be said on the srbject. Ihave never seen any reason for the present ar- rangement. of the schoo] sessions, and am of the opinioa that, if the matter were laid before the Board of Education in its proper light, they would take the necessary action thereon. I think the reason why the Board have not acceeded t ; our requests in former years was that our resolutions have never been explained to them as they should have been. It appears to me that we should delegate one uf our members for that purpose. [ would support Mr Ives’ arguments most strongly, as there is no reason against, but every reason for, the change. The sessions should be of uni- form length at all seasons of the year.

Mr. Seaman—The difficulty in connec- tion with thie matter is in getting it pro- perly laid before the Board of Education. The latter will no doubt do whatever the voters want. I would suggest that a com- mittee of three be delegated from this con- vention to lay before the Board our reasons for the proposed change. Jf this course were pursued, | do not think our proposal would be refused. This is a very import- ant matter, and the proper steps should be taken to have it duly attended to. I move that a committee of three be appointed to present our case before the Board of Edu- cation. «

Mr. N. Mcleod—-I think the arguments of Mr. Ives will recommend themselves to every nember of this Association. It is to be regretted that our schvol sessions are so short in the winter season,—a_ time best suited for doing the most hard work, A large number of the senior pupils in the country can attend school in winter only, while in summer the junior classes attend and require short sessions. During the past few years we have had in Summerside uniform sessions throughout the year ; and from my own experience I would recom- mend that Mr. Ives’ plan for country

schools be approved of. I would like to see steps taken for ascer- taining the opinions of all the

teachers in our public schools respecting this question. Circulars containing a series of questions might be issued to all the teachers, and these circulars, with the questions properly answered, could be re- turned to the chairman of the Executive Committee. Each teacher should be asked to state his experienc respecting the pre- sent arrangement of school sessions, and to say what he thought would suit best. In this way public opinion would be elicited, and the evils arising from the present system pointed out. If the proposal made by this association respecting ‘his matter, meets the approval of the electors, the Board of Edueation will be very apt to make the desired change in the sessions. If the opinions of the majority of the teachers prove favorable, a delegation should be sent from this association to the Board, showing our reasons for askiog for uniformity in the length of the school sessions.

r. A. D, McDonald--Mr. Ives seems to have thoroughly convinced this meeeing of the necessity for a change in the school sessions, The issue of a circular to all the teachers, containing questions for their reply thereto, to be returned to the Chairman of the Executive Committeee, might be pro- ductive of good, as there are many teachers who have not attended the convention, and who might not be ready to give this move- ment their assent, until they thoroughly considered the matter. Ihe idea of sending a delegation to the Board of Education for the purpose of explaiuing our position, and expressing our wishes in reference thereto, is a good one. One thing to be regretted is, that gentlemen who are in touch with the Board of Education, are not present with us, to hear our opinions, It strikes me that if those gentlemen attended eur meetings, this delegation would be unnecessary.

Mr. Seaman—I move that the Executive Committee be empowered to deal with this matter, after having fi:st obtained al] infor- mation necessary in reference thereto.

Resolution put aud carried unanimously.
