the weather must have been awful—if a miserable, unsatisfactory, botched Report is an indication of such a tate of the elements. It does not appear from the Report that the Visitor examined a single school in the course of the year—except the schools in Charlettetown. These are accessible in the worst weather. The Visitor introduces some “sug- | gestive remarks” in the following beautifully involved paragraph :— i “ Altho’ I did not reply to the atricturea on my | last report by an anonymous critic, yet I resolved,

The Inspector next submite some suggestions for “ guiding certain schools so as to form “ a con- necting link between the Prince of Wales College and the common Seminaries.” We then meet | some very useless remarks on the “ Evils of Small) Behool Districts "—the most original ideas of which | are that “children who live farthest from the| Schoolhouse are the most punctual in their “ daily

attendance,” and that “in all free communities | where the elective principle prevails in local affairs the minority must submit to the majority.” Next follows a chapter headed “Attendance on the Schools and their Support.” “Teachers,” says the Visitor, “in general complain of the irregular | attendance of their scholars, which is certainly a great hindrance to the success of our system,” Ke. Now, we do not believe that any complaint of Teachers of the irregular attendance in the least On the | contrary, the irregular attendance is principally |

years—and there are dozens of these in the Island— John Arbuckle cannot be expected to speak.

The Board of Education know that the “ Re-| port” is perfect trash, and that a better can never | be expected from the present incumbent—hence | the recommendation of that learned and Reverend body “of providing a Sehool Visitor for each | County —the Visitor for Queen's County to be)

Supermtendant of the others, and the salaries to be in proportion to the responsibility and amount of labour devolving upoz each of these officers.

This recommendation is exceedingly foolish and |

impolitic. In the first place, it would necessarily double the expenae of School-visiting. A Visitor for Queen's County and “ superintendant of the others” would not be procured et less than £200

a year, to which add £100 for each of the “others,” |

and you bave £400, which is double the present expense. It is true the salary of the School In- spector at present ia so much money thrown away ;

but that is owing to the lazy, shirking and loafing |

habits of the man who fills the situation. Weither would the inspection of schools be more efficiently performed. The ene Visitors for King’s and Prince Counties could not devote their whole time to visiting. ‘he appointment would probably,
