He also says that the Catholics always got more from the Liberal Party, and refers to; the time of Coles and Whelan, and says that they deserted their party at the time Mr. Haythorne was leader.
Now Mr. Editor there was another desertion about that time, As soon as Mr. Laird found the majority of the Catholie electors had joined the Conservatives, his love for the Catholics was so strong that he could not belong to a party which they were in, and he ratted to the Grits, where I pre- sume he will remain for all time unless the Oatholics do as he advises them, and before long the Hon. David would be again a rank Tory. yours ete.,

A Curriculum Criticised.
Siz,—It is evident the curriculum of our Normal School needs revision. The study of Latin and Greek to the neglect of more useful subjects is a lamentable waste of time. In education we should be practical. The useful should precede the ornamental. To the pupil a knowledge of the science- of life must be of more value than an acquaint- ance with Latin and Greek words. Every one is anxious to know how best to pre: serve health and guard against the suffer- ing and unhappiness that follow an infrae- tion of the laws of physiology. It is netes- sary for the agriculturist to have a definite knowledge of vegetable and animal life to know what manures are best adopted for plants, what crops are best suited for certain soils. Much Jabor and expenditure might be saved if the farmer knew that the soil in which he intends sowing his wheat or oats is not adopted for these crops; and his ignorance of the diseases to which animals are subjected, often leads to serious loss. :
The siudy of science affords an intellec- tual culture which is not to be had by the study of words. The latter may be regard- ed as an exercise of the memory, but not of the understanding. It is difficult to say what injury may accrue by the continued use of these faculties and the neglect of the other. One loses much self-reliance if instead of exercising his powers of reason he is indebted to a teacher, grammar or lJexcion for his information. Yet this is the ease with the student of languages, by reference to either of these authorities, speculation is at an end, inguiry is dis- couraged, the student must yield, the sub- ject of dogmatic teaching. We are yet to make use of what is most convenient; and if the pupil at an examination finds that memory alone will serve him, it is that upon which he will most rely. Hence an examination in these languages is not a test of the function of thinking, but of the memory. How ill qualified is he for the profession of a schoolmaster who has noth- ing but a panoply of words to recommend him. Any success in that employment requires judgment. The teacher needs to find out what ideas the child possesses, and to lead it on from one step to another till it acquires a habit of independent thought. Of what infinite benefit it would be if the children in our public schools in- stead of having their memories crammed with words and formulas were taught to think for themselves. ‘‘By science con- stant appeal is made to individual reason, its truths are not accepted upon authority alone, but all are at liberty to test them. Nay, in many cases the pupil is required to think out his own conclusions. Every step in a scientific investigation is submitted to his judgment. He is not asked to admit without seeing it to be true, and the trust in his own powers thus produced is further increased by the constancy with which na- ture justifies his conclusions, when they are correctly drawn. From all which there flows that independence which is a most valuable element in character.” In our Normal School the system of instructing apd examining is such, that the pupil may gain a high place without exercising his judgment. Indeed this may be why the most successful at an examination for Teachers, as a rule, do not succeed in the profession. How much this system of memory cramming is relied on in our Normal School might be noticed, by refer- ence to some of the papers set before the candidates for Teachers in June last. To answer the questions in vhese papers re- quired not so much the exercise of the un- derstanding as a capability to remember
afforded the most numerous tests of their capabilities, the results varied a good deal, and even in those in which Ross won the finishes were close. In the regatta at Torouto, the year before last, which wes probably the most honest affair of the kind which has taken place in the last decade, Ross was pushed tothe close by Conley, Courtney. and Hamm, the two latter of whom have in no wise showed themselves te be remarkable seullers,and the first of whom has not since attempted anything by which his powers can be guaged. Toss in his match races has never beaten anybody to speak of, except Trickett and Warren Smith, and neither Trickett nor Werren Smith in their best days did much. We hold that a review, of the career of Ross and of the sculling of the past half dozen years justifies the opinion that he is not so unmistakeably distinct from the bunch of better-known scullers of the day as to be classed with Haulan, who is out of sight of anything which has ever appeared in the sculling line.”’ =:
The Camp at Pictou.
The following is a copy of Major-General Luard’s order, after having inspected the Pictou camp. It is the best report which the General has yet made upon any camp, and reflects great credit on Col. Taylor, D. A. G., and the other officers who have had command of the camp: —
The Major-General ha’ visited the camp at Pictou, to-dvy, with much pleasure. It was very satisfactory to him, to see so many cleanly turnéd ont militiamen, althoagh there are many more recruits than it is desirable to have. It was satisfactory to observe that most of the companies came in good strength and many have brought the fail number— 42. The Major-General i9 glad to Jearn that on the subject of the chain of respexsibility, and for this pps the falling in ou parade by squais, have been carried out. Without this it would, he feels sure, have been impossible to make so many recruits into such a fairly turned out and soldierlike body of men. The men in camp haye att:ined a suflicient knowledge to be aware that, without knap- sacks of valises to carry a change of clothing, and without mess tins and water bottles to carry meats and water they are not fit for active service, A portion of the force in camp tosday has had practical proof at } ingan, within the last year, that it isso. The Major- General hopes that the deficiency of equipment he observed today may, when he next has the pleasure of seeing these battalions, be amended, He begs the Lieutenant-Colonel commanding to make known to all ranks the Major-General’s satisfaction with what he has seen to-day.

Disintegration.
It will be seen, says the London Standard, that Lord Rosebery s reunion with the Goy- ernment, in a higher grade than he has quitted, at no remote period is rumoured to be probable. The Government is evidently lacking in that cohesive quality which is essential to the unity and efliciency of an Administration. Three Ministers have suc- cessively left the Cabinet—the Duke of Ar. gyli, Mr. Forster, and Mr. Bright. Lord Roseberry is the second of two Under Secretaries who have pursced a similar course, The pleas on which these seces- sions have taken place are curious. At one time the reason alleged has been a differ- ence of principle on some fundamental question of policy. The Duke of Argyll— hke Lord Lansduwne—resigned because he disapproved the agrarian policy of the Cabinet. Mr. Forster resigned because he was opposed to their general Irish policy ; M>. Bright because be could not sanction the policy of the Egyptian war. Lord Rosebery—notwithstanding the ingenious explanation contained in the official an- noucement—really retires for reason of in- compatibility of temper on the part of Sir William Harcourt.

Attempted Suicide.
Two girls named Maggie Youmans and Mary Holt arnved in Halifax on Tuesday from St. John in the company of a gentle- man. They went to a well-known house on Brunswick street, where they put wp for the night, but their behavior was such that they were turned out on the following morning. They then put up at another house on the same street. On Friday they went driving through the city in a barouche and about five o'clock drove to the ferry wharf, intending to cross to Dartmouth. While waiting for the boat they strolled
