The “ Patriots” Defence.

Tus Patriot is to the rescue of Mr. L. H. Davies, M. i’. “ At the time the Island Board of Trade

were discussing the question of our trade relations with the United States, the term

It says

‘Unrestricted Reciprocity was understood here to mean the abolition of customs houses on the boundary line, while each conntty retained control of its own tar iff

But if the custom houses along the border were abolished, neither country could “contro! its own tariff. rhe

Patriot's statement is self-contradictory and foolish. If members of the Charlottetown Board of Trade understood the proposition asto ‘“‘ Unrestricted Reciprocity” in the sense implied by Mr. Davies and the Patriot, they might well be set down as “ arrant fools.” this : Members of the Board of Trade either seriously con- templated a ridiculous proposition, or else Mr. Davies and the Patriot have wronged them before Parliament and the country. Are members of the Charlottetown Board of Trade fools ! Then they did not understand ‘ Unrestricted Reci- procity’ te imply different and independ- ent tariffs for Canada and the United States, the abolition of border, and the imports between the two countries ; they

Our Public Schools.

Tux report of the Chief Superintendent of Education is, after that of the Provin- cial Auditor, the most interesting of the Provincial blue books; for the public edu- cation is at once the most important and the most expensive service in which the Gov- ernment is engaged, and Mr. Moatgomery has a way of presenting school statistics which makes them attractive.

As he remarks, the present report closes the first fifty years of the official supervi- sion of our public schools, and the first de- cade under the Public Schools Act, 1877. The present, is therefore, a favorable time for contrasting and comparing these two periods in our educational history. This can best be done by a tabular representa- tion of the statistics of the years 1837, 1877, and 1887 :—-

1837. 1877. 1887.

Namber of Teachers 51 374 505

Number of Pupils... 1.6.9 16.109 22,468

Expend. by Govt.. $2,766 $80,513.60 $110,484.54

Rate of Expenditure

Poeee..... $1.67 $5.00 4.92 Population of Prov. 3.00 168,891

The progress of a half century and a

decade is thus shown at a glance.

During the decade, just clesed, says the Chief Superintendent, steps have been taken to advance the cause of education in this Province. The follow- ing among others may be mentioned as having materially advanced the Public Schools and contributed largely to the satisfactory condition of things which now

many important

exists :—

1, The enactment of the Public Schools laws of 1877.

2. The amalgamation of the Prince of Wales College and the Provincial Normal School— 1879.

3. The admission of young women to the Prince of Wales College, 1879.

4. The change in the government of the Prince of Wales College by which that Insti- tion became a part of the Public School system — 1879.

5, The institution of a Provincial Teachers’ Association —1830.

6. The adoption of a general ‘Course of Studies" for the grading of the Public Schools — 1881.

7. The establishment of a general system of entrance examinations to the Prince of Wales College and Normal School under the control and direction of the Chief Superintendent of Education ; and the separation of the exami-

nation for ,Teachers’ certificates from that for the matriculation of genera) students to the College. This step by which examiations are held at different local centres has been of very great service and convenience to schools and pupila— 1881. i

§. The introduction of a system of classifi- cation of graded schools based on merit alone. Up to the year 1880, first class schools were established by a vote of the Board of Educa- tion and retained their rank without regard to efficiency. They are now raised to that rank whenever they reach the standard fixed by the Chief Superintendent of Education. This step has made these schools centres of educational activity. Those of them that cease to he such are dropped from the list of First Class Schools and assigned an inferior rank until by merit they again win the posi- tion lost— 1880.

9. The enactments of 1882, by which s2veral important amendments were made in the Public Schools’ Act.

10. The introduction of the study of Agri- cultural Chemistry into the schools of this Island — 1883.

1]. The establishment of an Arbor Day for the Public Schools throughout the Island— 1885.

12. The revision of the regulations of the Board of Education for the government of the Public Schools, and the addition of several new rules and regulations —1886.

13. The presentation for the first time of an educational exhibit from this Island—1886.

For the benefit of those who may desire to compare the educational results of our own Province with those of the other Provinces of the Dominion, Mr. Montgom- ery has collected statistics for the year 1886. The information obtained is given in the following table. It will be found interest- ing as a basis of comparison between the educational facilities afforded by the differ- ent Provinves of the Dominion. The popu- lation quoted is that of the census of 1881, except in the cave of Manitoba, where the

gensus of 1586, as published by Provincial

authority, is given. The edueational statisties for Manitoba include the Protest-

ant schools only.

For these valuable statistics Mr. Mont- gomery is entitled to the special thanks of thecommunity. The Chief Superintendent reports gn increase in this Province of 591 over the number of pupils studying ortho- graphy last year, and an increase of 1,436 in the number of those who are studying music. In book-keeping there has been an increase of 47 pupils. The following com- parative statement of the number of pupils in each of the principal subjects of the High

School Course is presented :—

1886, 1°87. Increase. Decrease. a. 502 li eS aii ae 29 15 NOR. bcs és one 1493 755 —~ Algebra ........ 457 467 10 ~— Geometry ve 495 412 . 23

The expenditure of the Government on account of Education is Jess than last year by $1,507.67. The decrease is referable to the fact that the supplements

it was

paid by the districts (which are duplicated by the Government) were not so large last year as they were in the previous year.

Mr. Stewart's Lecture.

THE lecture delivered by W. S. Stewart, Esq., in St. James’ Hall, last evening, was brim-fall ot information about Florida—its soil and orange groves, its beautiful lakes and rivers, its malarial fevers, alligators and rattlesnakes, its people and their characteristics, institu- tions, ambitions and prospects. Several of his pen pictures were very fine and very realistic. Mr. Stewart observed much while in Florida. But he failed to see that, as a place of permanent residence Florida is preferable to Prince Edward Island. He seems, however, to have absorbed many of the Southern ideas respecting slavery and the causes which led to and justified the war by which the power that maintained that peculiar institution was broken and the negroes made free men. The thanks of the audience were conveyed to the lecturer by the Chairman, Mr. H. C. Mc- Donald.

Alberton and Return.

Srr,—-The inducements offered by our Railway recently started your correspord- ent westward on a trip of business com- bined with pleasure. On arriving at Bradalbane the comfortable mail sleigh for Stanley Bridge was in waiting to convey passengers thereto. In this district there are several stores, neat dwellings and comfortable homes. About three miles west is located the village of Clifton, where a fine church has recently been erected, surrounded with well cultivated farms. Returning to the line of Railway we passed the various stations until Summerside hove in sight. Aiter spending the alloted time in this rapidly growing town the iron horse started on his outward course. Along the Railway villages are springing up and busy men may be seen preparing lumber for market. On arriving at Alberton shortly after five o'clock, the passengers proceeded to our hotel where an excellent supper was heartily enjoyed by all. Here there are fine stores and handsome residences, indi- cating wealth and prosperity. In the drug and other stores we observed the ‘* Magic Healer” Salve placard on_ exhibition. Indeed, almost at every station along the Railway this article is on sale. The follow- ing morning we retraced our steps in the eastern direction, arriving at Kensington in due time. This is a fast rising village in the centre of a prospeous people. After spending a few hours among old friends we steamed for Charlottetuwn, after enjoying a four days’ ride over our well conducted Railway.

A Critic Criticised.

—_—_

Srr,—The next time that a review of an entertainment given by the ‘students of the Prince of Wales College appears in your columns, either by ‘‘One who was present,” or anybody else, it is to be hoped that it will be better written than the one which appear- ed in Tuesday’s EXAMINER. Such an expres- sion as ‘‘ had wert” in a notice of a literary entertainment held at an institution like the Prince of Wales College, is unpardonable, It is doubtful if worse grammar than that could be found, even in the speeches of some mem- bers of our House of Assembly.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

Leiter from Hon. D. Ferguson.

Srr,—I have read the Hansard report of Mr. Davies’ explanation of his condemna- tion of Unrestricted Reciprocity at the Charlottetown Board of Trade, on the 17th of November last; and I am sorry in having to say that this explanation is sadly lacking in the “ mal element.” 1 believe every member of the Board of Trade, who was present at the meeting in question, will agree with me that Mr. Davies’ explanation is a sad perversion of the truth. I quote the following from THe ExXaminer’s report of the meeting of the Board of Trade re- ferred to above :—

* Hon. D. Ferguson said that he would like to haye the-expression- ‘Commercial Union detined and explained by its advocates before the discussion proceeded. Information was also wanted in respect to certain important details of the proposed Union.

‘*L. L. Beer expressed a similar desire. |

““L. H. Davies, M. P., said that, judging by whet he had read inthe newspapers—he

of Commercial Union—he assumed that under Commericial Union trade would flow freely between this country and the United States as it now flows between States ; while as against the rest of the world there would be a uniform tariff, to be mutually agreed upon by the two countries comprised in the Union. ‘ Unrestricted Reciprocity’ would differ from Commercial Union in this respect: that while under it there would be perfectly free trade between the two coun- tries, each country would retain the right to frame its own tariff as against the rest of the world. Canada, for instance, might have a 25 per cent. tariff, States might be one of 35 per cent. The im- mediate consequence would be that imports to the United States, instead of being carried to the great portsof the United States, would be taken to the States by the way of Mon- treal. To this the States, whose people are not arrant fools, would never consent; and Unrestricted Reciprocity, although it would suit us as well as Commercial Union, therefore impracticable.”

Having read the latter part of the above extract in the House of Commons, Mr. Davies went on to say :—

‘* That was the quotation. Now 1 did not make use of such language as is here report- ed. I used that language with a very strong- ly pronounced and distinct qualitication, which was clearly understood when I stated it. The Board of Trade were discussing several proposals for obtaining free trade relations with the United States. Somewere in favor of commercial union, and some in favor of the scheme known as unrestricted reciprocity. A

ortion expressed their desire to have the Freest trade relations between Canada and the United States that could be obtained, similar to the freedom of trade which existed between State and State, so that there should be no custom houses on the border, and that not only the United States goods should be passed free, but that all goods, whether they were manufactured in Canada or in the United States, or abroad, should be passed free. These same people wished also to retain, if possible, in the hands of Canada, the right to maintain our tariff and to regulate it as we pleased. iu answer to that I told them that such a scueme of unrestricted reciprocity was impracticable and impossible, that if Canada retains a tariff of 25 per cent., and. the United States a tariff of 35 per cent., and you have no custom houses between the two countries, the whole of the importations will naturally come into that part of the country which has the least tariff, and that the coun- try to the south of us which has the higher !tariff wonld not be such arrant fools as to , assent to any such arrangement.” | Ali this is quibbling of the worst kind. The scheme of Reciprocity which he de- scribed as ‘‘ impracticable,” and which, he said, the Americans would never accept ex- cept on the assumption that they were **arrant fools,” was not a proposition ad- vocated at the Board of Trade by any other person, but it was Unrestricted Reciprocity as he understood it himself, and still under- stands it, and which he is supporting with 'all his might in the House of Commons.

But Mr. Davies is not satisfied with the perversions of fact now given—he goes ! further and says: | ‘I simply desire, in closing, to say that ‘when IT had resemed my speech before the Charlottetown Board of ‘lrade, I moved a re-

300.00 |

had had no communicstion with the projectors |

the several ;

while that of the United |

was |

in the Conservative paper from which my hon. friend quotes, | am not as fally reported as | ought to have been,”

Was ever and instance of prevarication more clear than this? The resolution which he moved, and which he says shows what ‘the intended to say,” and ‘‘ did say,” and ‘was understood to say,” on the 18th November was not moved until about four weeks later. In the meantime, he was forced to abandon the advocacy of Commercial Union (that is, openly). The resolution in favor of Unrestricted Recipro- city which a friend of his, acting under his guidance had moved, was rejected by the Board, and he was compelled, at my sug- gestion, to agree to a general resolution in favor of Reciprocity, which he moved and which I seconded ! :

To say that the resolution unanimously agreed to by the Board of Trade and which Mr. Davies was most reluctantly compelled to accept, shows what he meant to say, some four weeks before, requires an amount of assurance of which few men be- sides Mr. L. H. Davies are the possessors.

lam yours, D. Ferauson.
