LETTERS TO TH
>
pIToR,
Sin,—The editor of the Patriot. geems to have been misinformed as to the work done in the ‘‘ amalgamated institution 2 known as the Prince of Wales College and Normal School, if we may judge by his remarks in the Patriot of the 26th inst.
By the Prize List of the Normal Sehool, published on the 25th inst., the Classes in Mathematics Were confined to subjects necessary for obtaining a Teacher's certifi- cate, with the exception of the class in the Conic Sections composed of five pupils." The advanced classes iu Latin and Greek were made up of the same five pupils. All other pupils in the school weresin lasses com- posed of young persons qualifying for Teacher’s examination. Therefore the work of the College for the term was confined. to the teaching of five or six pupils, five of whom were from the city. The Patriot's statement that a number of pupils entered the Normal School in January last is correct but misleadimg, as about an equal number received a«thigd class Teacher's certificate and left the Normal School atthe end of the first term, but as there is no official report, I will not discuss the a ance at the Normal School] for the last term. By the Public Schools Report for 1878, there were attending the Normal School ninety pupils for the term ending December, and
ut fifty-five were attending the Prince
Wales College the same term, altogether one hundred and forty-five, only nimety- three were at the ‘‘ amalgamated inetitu- tion,” the term ending December last year, or a falling off in attendance of fifty-two pupils in four years. If the numberof pupils at this institution continues to decrease in the future as in the past, and we have great reason to suppose it will, at the end of four years, there will be only forty-one pupils at the Normal School. Then too the Normal School of 1878, with its ninety pupils, cost the country about $3,000 annually,while «at the lowest estimate the Normal School of last year, with ninety three pupils, cost the country $8,000. This is an extravagant expenditure, and it is {public robbery for any man or party to ‘advocate its continuence. Six. pupils of the College cost the country $5000 yearly for their education! Taxpayers in the country who receive no benefit from this expenditure will note that Mr. Laird not only approves it, but asks that it be largely ‘increased by erecting a new College build- ‘ing. It is well known to Mr. Laird that the’ | College building now in use was erected a \few years ago with accommodation for 160 pupils, and is it now so cribbed for private use that ninety-three pupils are confined for want of roam. !
Mr. Laird’s testimony to the Principal's |erudition is worth nothing, the community 'will not regard the former as an authority \in this matter, they will look to the College |from which the latter graduated (/) to be ' informed.

How to Keep Breeding Stallions.
Col. Coleman of St. Louis, whose large ‘experience as a breeder entitles bis sugges- _tions to special weight, especially in refer- ‘ence to trotting and racing stallions, re- marks in the Rural World that ‘‘a breeding ; stallion should be kept in perfect health. _No arimal can be kept in health without exercise. Plenty of sound, good food |should be given, equal to ten to sixteen quarts of oats per day, depending upon his size and exercise, and ‘about what hay he willeat up clean. He should have some ‘work twice a day, morning and evening, not so much as to make him dull, for he ' should always be spirited and lively. Driv- ing him to the buggy, exercising him on horseback and doing any little jobs of light work will make him all the stronger ; once or twice a week, before a light wagon, he can be allowed to trot at full speed, if he feels like it, a quarter or a half mile, and feel all the better for it, and be more likely to impart speed to his progeny. If he has a lot or half an acre or less, with a high plank fence around in, so he can be turned in and cannot get out, it will be beneficial to him, for then he can get the pure air and warm sunshine, and roll and plunge and play as he pleases. There is no greater evil in breed'ng horses than to keep a stal- lion in his stall without exercise. He is generally fed high and gets fat, his mus- cular organization gets no exercise or de- velopment, and his progeny will be far in- ferior to what it would have been had he had proper exercise. The quantity of grain is greater than most Eastern breeders might think beneficial, especially for young horses, but many stallions undoubtedly suffer from being fed and exercised too little.
