l er Relations‘ With Bahamas *-- Striking Message to Canadian People. '

_--@

The romanticism oi the Bahama uisnds as a winter resort for Can- misn tourists and the abundant op- pdltllllliv“! there i'or the develop- mmt oi trade with Canada were the subjects of an illuminating ad- dreu at a meeting oi the Charlotte- town Board o! Trade last evening by Mgjor Hugh M, Bell, agent ior the Development Board of Bahamas. [he vivid portrayal oi the beauty inc charm or these Islands and the uithusiastic statements oi Major Bell ior possibilities oi a lucrative Arch c! products were listened lo with great inierestby those pres- mt. "The Bahamas market i.s- wide open to Canadian ‘initiative? he said. ‘

Major Bell opened his address with an I-PPI-‘eeiatlon of the way in which Canada has lived up to the West India Treaty. "You have in- terpreted the agreement in a broad and wide cease-a conception oi vbatahritisberislikelnasquare deal." he said. ‘The Bahamas are duly grateful." He referred to the distinctly loyalist . background of both peoples.

The Bahamas compose a strange and interesting colony, MajorBell continuedJTliey have gone far ahead recently and qgflddsver has been wmbbialiehsinated. A high stpge bi. pertecticn has. been attained as regards sanitation and lately mun- icipal water works have been estab- iished.‘ rraasau is a sub-tropical city bi which the health standards and records are unlikely to be equalled iven by cities in the north.

Final Sessions

H_e_ld Today

(Canadian Press) SYDNEY. N. S., Aug. lb-With the business oi the Rebekah assembly and the encampment concluded and but one more day oi Grand Ledge many I. O. O. i". delegates ere ai- ready moving out oi the city en route to their homes. The degree of chivalry, highest Rebekah distinc- tion, was conferred upon Mrs, Mc- Eacl-iern oi Mermaid. P. E. 1., Miss Sarah MacDonald, Sydney and Marlon Prowse, Dominion No. e De- bate on the proposed $200,000 endow- ment ior the 0ddfellows' Home at Plctou and election oi Grand Olli- cers are the principal matters re- maining to be settled at the conclud- ing sessions tomorrow.

r

teries make it a paradise for the historically-inclined.

In the Bahamas there is also plen- ty oi enjoyment ior the sportsman Tarpoori and bsrracuta fishing and the hunting of wild-boar are among its attractions._ Coloured men still hunt and iish with bows and ar- rows. and there the moat wonderful cocoanuis in the world are found. Wild horses and cattle, the descent of the first European stock still rove about as once in the Canadian West. Tourists have the unlqueloppor- tunity at San Salvador oi taking the same rig-sag course as did Colum- bus andtsee the dawn as he saw it on tllg morning o! the discovery oi America and one can anchor his boat in almost the same spot as did the men oi the Santa Marla. Much yet remains uncharted and there is room tor considerable exploration work. g . "Bahamas is a colony when whites and blacks have worked out their problems without the rancor, bitter- ness and lynching; of other coun- tries," said Major Bell. "There is mutual sell-respect no matter oi what colour.” . . Reverting to trade possibilities be- tween Canadacand Bahamas, Mbjor Bell declared that the days of great- est prosperity in the Maritimes were those of the West Indies tradaA iast line o! steamers is now oper- ating between Canadian and West Indian ports. In winterythe merch- ants oi the Bahamas need every kind o! garden produce and hard fruits, potatoes. pickled pork and beef. bacon. and all canned goods equal to or better than the British or American product. Canadian but- ter, cheese, and eggs are now be- ginning to be imported. "The West indies will buy Canadian in preier- ence to American products." Major Bell emphatically declared. The dif- iicultles are that the importers will insist on buying in small quantities owing to lack oi cold-storage iacil- ities and that n0 Pflmlilmt "PM" sentatlves are maintained by Can- adian iirms in the West Indies. T0- metoes. sponges and siesel are the chiei exports o! the Bahlmel- Considerable discussion iollowsd Major Bell's address. it was sugges- ted by Mr. H. P, Mcliwen that a committee oi the Board o! Trade be appointed to study the problems and report on the best methods o! 09w‘ in; up bilsinesa connections.

Methods of Changing Text Books Severely Criticized at Meeting Yesterday.

The meeting t! the Royal Com- mission en Education held in Kin- kora yesterday was attended by a. large number of representatives irom the surrounding dish-iota The chief win-lease; were Rev. Dr. M. J. Smith. Messrs. Michael Banner. Jamel Ne‘ Oardle, r. .1. Smith. Iii-ca bacon-will and Edison Wright. The discussion was along much the same lines as as the previous meetinle- _ A vary general complaint through- out the diiivrent district called uP- on by the commission was the ire- quent change oi text books without any notification either te the resch- are or parents until the obtains e1 the school term. which appears to be vuy unreasonable on the PM 01 the department of, education.

M.

There‘ appears to be among the general public no knowledge o! who is actually respon- sible (or the {sequent change o! books. ‘this state oi aiiaira is in dirsneedciadjuctlnantintbacptrl- ion ct most oi the witnesses. ' A suggestion was made to have a day set apart during the year when the trustees‘ and peopieoould meet the educational authorities to dil- cuas educational problems. etrcos protest was made against the gov- ernment deducting money from the teachers‘ salary should the average attendance tall below sixty percent. without apparently making any ei- fort to enforce the law compelling parents to send their children to school egularly. The compulsory clause in the act as now applied is practically, a dead letter. It was argued that in any case there were too many loopholes in this particular clause which needed considerable revision and i! it is to remain ee the statute book the government should anioroc it.

it was "generally conceded that, there should be an increase in sal- ary providing a. higher standard oi Atcschers would be guaranteed. some oi the witnesses considered the da- mand made by the teachers re- gardtoaslidingscaleoisaiarywas excessive andthat the eiiicieney oi the teacher was not auiiiciently am-
