W bat do these figures amount to the number of sc iad bas increased from 443 in ]890 to 468 ip 1898, and that the number of teachers has increased from D29 to 581.

. will readily be seen that these figures

are just as mucha proof of a dvancement in education as the fact that the govern ments expenditure on account of educa~ tion has increased from $113,626.00 to $129 817.80. The one is perhaps a cause of the other. But neither one nor al prove that education was materially ad- vanced under the management of Messrs Peters, Warburtoo, Farquhareon & Co. On the other hand the dismissal of the Professor of Agriculture, the withdrawal ofthe supplements paid to the teachers, little or mo increase in the number of pupile taught,— these other must strike th» observer as very peculiar in the face of such a largely increased ex- penditure on account of education that the debt of this province has been materia!ly enlarged thereby.

In 1890 there were 22,530 pupils en» rolled inthe public echools of this Pro- vince; in 1898 only 21,852! This fact is not stated by the Patriot—although it does not besitate to charge the Opposition writers with “ garbliog” aad *‘cooking”

of the man who has a bad case is to abuse his opponents,

In 1890, the daily average attendaace at the public schools numbered 12 490, and in 1898,13,377 a very small increase in comparison with tbe additional schools, aod teachers, and cost.

The figures apart, the people have a pretty good idea whether or not the ad- vancement in education has been com- mensurate with its cost, and whether or not the great increase of the public debt of

In conclusion we have merely to point out that at the beginning of the first half year after the Liberals reached office the debt of the province was shown to be less than $53,000; that debentures were forthwith issued tothe amount of $1865,- 000; that then a Loans bill was passed; that additional debentures were subse quently issued; that, finally, an advance of $30,000 was obtained from Credit Foncier ; and that, even vet, the balance

upon Mr. Tarte if his speech of last Sat- urday asserting that the contingent is not to be a precedent should be followed short- ly by the sending of another regiment to the seat of war. There have been changes of front more extraordinary than even this. Sir Wilfrid quoted the Militia Act and the constitution in opposition to action, and then dropped them both, and allowed the

Germany and France by a ¢ea route England cculd have closed by a word. Before war broke out Boer commandos were enc sm ped mn the fr yntier, pa rolling the passes by day and occupying them by night. The Boers were ready for war before the British moved a_ battalion. How a military nation,tbat regarded force

a3 an ordinary agent instead of a jast reo t with this situation may be seen in the contemptuous German British management. Ii filled British South

troops, and if

violate the froo-

criticism of would have Africa it did tier, would have made invasion impossible by lining it with forces. Just before the critical moment, the passes would have been seized and, if the Transvaal had not troops would have been poured country, not the theatre of

with

not actually

the border, and that would have been

over Natal war. This is the way any Continental power would have managed the affair, if it had not interfered long before to stop military pre- parations and crush the independence of the Transvaal. That would have been the better way for any power that intende to rule the Boers as a conquered people. But it would not serve the purpose of a power that sought only to add them to the various group: of self-governing com~ munities under its rule of civilization. and erliet them ie that wide co-operation of

and religious freedom which men call the British Empire. Doubtless such a policy would have prevented war, but it would have unfitted the Boers for healthy incor~ poration under free irstitutions by making them the embittered victims ot smoth-~ ering force, more than they will be uofitted by defeat after a fair, man-

ly stand-up fight oo terms which the calculated moderation of Great Britain has made as nearly equal as may be. More- over, the British Government recognizes responsibility to the public opinion of the world unknown and despised by the mili- tary powers. Partly in obedience to that responsibility as well as in wise f re- thought for the fature of an integral part of itsown free empire, Great Britain soughi to exhaust every resorce of patient diplomacy before bringing force to bear ; refrained, indeed, from using force or even the menace of force, when it was plain that diplomacy would fail, unti] the Boers, having completed the preparation that the the British studiously neglected, took the initiative of war.

Great Britain has treated the Boers like the free British subjects they will te in a yearer two.’ This generosity has been costly in money and life, in public anxiety and private distress. But these are paid gallantly, in blood abroad and tears at home, as the price of maintaining the lofty standard of British nationality and of performing the duty of civilization by the race which is its chosen evangelist. A warof military aggression would have been more economical, but the spirit of Anglo-Saxon civilization no longer pers mits such war.
