SPIRIT- 0F PROGRESS

lt is in line with the progressive spirit now abroad that

our city schools are this your receiving more than ordinary attention. Prince Street School which, exteriorly as well as interiorly, has always been one of the city‘s beauty spots, has been in the hands oi’ the painters and carpen- ters during the holidays and when reopened will be a

- source of pleasure and pride to the teachers as well as

the pupils. All the hulls, class-rooms and stalrways have been newly painted and some 2,000 feet of hardwood floor- ing has been laid. The assembly room on the upper floor has been kulsomined and the woodwork repainted. The root’ also, which was beginning to show signs of wear has liccn regrzivellcd. Credit is duc to the School Board, and to Mr. T. tf. James and Mr. llenry Smith, the Secretary, in particular, for this rcnovation. While the building has thus been rejuvemited, the grounds have also been given some extra attention although, to the casual observer, the grass and the shrubbery and the trees have always been trained up in the way they should go by that prince of care- takers, Mr. Augustus Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell's care ot’ these grounds is a credit to him and should be an inspiration and an example to all our citizens.

There are some vacant lots along some of our public

strccts that are at disgrace as wcll as a menace to the health of the neighborliood in which tliey_ are situated. Wced-growii and unsightly, piled high with ashes and de- bris oi’ ull kinds they serve as nurscries for wcedeeeds and receptacles for filth and disease. lf the owners or occu- piers responsible for those cannot be otherwise persuaded to adopt decent methods then the City Council should take thc inattcr up and compel cleanliness. Fortunately there arc not many such spots, but there :irc some and along sonic of our most frequented streets and in the neighbor- hood of some oi` our finest. rcsldcnccs. These things ,ought not so to be, and the (Tity (‘ouncil would do well to insist upon a general cleaning up of such places.

lt is gratifying also to fiml that Government House

grounds have bcon nicely cleaned up, the uiidergmwth in the groves having been removed and the roadways trim- nicd and otherwise improved. These and other evidences ofa growing interest in appearance us well as in sanitary conditions arc most gratifying, There is still room for im- provcmcnt in some quarters, (Victoria Park for instance), and it is hoped that thc good example set, pariiciilarly by the schools, and by so inuny of thc beautiful homes in the city. will bc followed up until (‘harlottctown hecom

DISAPPOINTED GERMAN F INANCIERS

The pcttincss and pucrility of thc Pntriot’s policy in

this great imperial crisis is wcll-nigh incoinprclicnsihle. Ono would have imagined that thc siicccssfiil floating oi' 1\ gigantic t‘aiiiidizin loan without the slightest hitch was something lo hc iinmeasurably proud of, no matter what Dlirly \\':1.-i in power. lt is one of the greatest financial strokes ever recorded and has been commented upon as such both in the United States und in Great Britain,

Wllat were thc conditions which the Dominion

Government was up agaiiist? Canada has uiii'es'tric`ted per- mission to raise loans in London at the present time; that is thc Governiiient of (faiiada enjoys that privilege. But while it would have been quite lawful to go to Lon- don for thc lonn it would not have been expedient. The British Government was itself in thc mui'kct for ii loan of $4,500,000,000 und was immediately faced with German conspiracies to depress the price and the sale of German- held securities on a market which was not at the moment supplied with ready buyers or available capital. The British loun was in a nieusure successfully floated, but would it have bccn possible to have siiniliirily floated a t‘:inudiun loan in competition wth the British one and against thcsc adverse (icrinan influences? The Dominion (iovcrnmcnt did not sock to embarrass the British market, rind took the bold stop of going to New York to raise the necessary funds. lliid an inkllng been disclosed ot’ their intentions can wc doubt for a moment but that the whole influence of the Gcrniiin financiers in New York would have been thrown into the balance against it? Mr. White, nn cxpcrieiicnd financier of unhiemished roputafion for Skllfill llfllllllirll-I ol' great issues, realized thc seriousness

was ii. coup that has made the flnnciul world marvel. The only dissatisfied ones are thc small-minded flnnnciers who grudge Mr. White credit for his success, rind the pro-Gm-_

mans who resent Ci1neila's success in n neutral motley market.

eiziiuanrs “snow risci:

The German inronrl in Poland is the show-piece of the

German wacpoiicy. The Prussian war game was origin- nlly worked out on the plan that the first campaign, alter Paris lmd hccn captured. would take place in Russian Poland, ami the second in the Baltic area. The lntervon- tion oi' Belgium and Britain prevented the fall of Paris, mid thc tactics of the Allies in the West. until now, pre- vented Germany pursuing her preconceived campaigns in Russia. While the Allies are walling reinforcements, in Franco and Flanders, Germany has had n comparatively free hand against the Bear. and she is taking full advan- tage of the opportunity. Though her success ls consid- erable, and there is no use minimising the fact. it means nt most the prolongation of the war. The offer oi’ peace to Russia "on terms." is not meant seriously but with a view to impress the Germans at home. Russia has as much thought of suing for peace as has Belginm~anii Bel- gium would prefer to be wiped oil' the map than become a vassal of the despotic Hun.

We publish in another part of this issue an appeal by

Mr. Lloyd George for the service of women in the munltlolf

The Guardian heartily welcomes to temporary citizen-

proving its allegations about the conditions of education under Grit rule and under the present regime. The Patriot quotes figures from the 1909-10 report of the Super- intendent of Educatlouto show that ,there were more first-class teachers then than there _were in 1914. We do not admit the accuracy ot the figures in question because the statistics from which they -are quoted bear evidence of having been "eooked." For instance, in that report 47 male teachers ot the first class are listed, whereas in an- other colunin credit is taken for payment ot only 37. What became of the ten? But taking the Patriot on ite own ground, allowing. for the sake oi' argument, that there were more ilrst-class teachers in 1909-10 than there were in 1914, what were the facts with regard to the succeeding r year 1910-11? According to the Grit Government reports there was a sudden slump from 116 to 97. a drop of 19 first- class teachers in one year. In 1911-12 there was a further decrease to 85. which was the low~water mark resulting from Grit malailministratlon. It was on this foundation the present Government had to build, and what was the result? In 1913 there was an increase of four; in 1914 there was an increase of fourteen over the Grit low-water mark.

it is further significant that in 1911 the average salary

oi' mule teachers drawing first-class pay was $526.47 as against $609.56 in 1914, whereas the female teachers of the same cluss drew an average ol’ $343.61 in 1911 and $474.03 in 1914. The increase in the salaries for males was thus $83.09 and in those oi’ females $130.42, an average for both sexes ot’ $107.75 per annum, an increase of 25 per cent.

Whut has the Patriot or its source of inspiration to say to this?

APPEALING T0 ROMAN CATHOLICS

A powerful appeal has been issued to all Roman Catho-

lics in Scotland by Archbishop Maguire, of Glasgow. to enlist and where that is impracticsble, to assist in re- cruiting. The appcul was read in all the Roman Catholic churches in the diocese followed by patriotic sermons by the preachers for the day. The Archbishop outlines the origin and cause of the war, describes the principles at stake, and turning to the fathers and mothers of the young men to whom the first part of his appeal is addressed, the Archbishop goes on to say:-

"Let every one, then, who is able, do what he can at

thc front or at; home to help; the younger men in the field. the cldcrs in the workshops. Let no croaking on the part of the small dissatisfied minority affect us; lot us pass h_v with a smile the fanatics who take so heartlessly thc op- portunty of the war to try to thrust on us their iiiireliiililc tulos and their impossible schemes for reforming other people. VVe have one business only at present-to conquer the Prussians and those who have been misled hy them. Our cause is ii noble one; we are not fighting to gain money or land, we are not fighting for glory or revenge. We are fighting for peace-not for a temporary patched-up compromise which would only give the enemy the chancc ot’ preparing and plotting for another outbreak-but for at lastliig peace. And that can only be secured by the crush- ing of the Prussian mllitarisin and ambition, by complcto victory on our sidc, complete surrender on the other."

BRITAIN AND DUTCH NEUTRALITY

lt is xi favourable and fertile source of speculation

whether Holland will be compelled to enter the European conflict. It would be so easy. say the war specnlators, for Britain to send an army into Germany through llollnnd. Mr. Winston Cliurclilll has just answered Ilolland through the medium of the Nicuvc Rotterdamincr (‘ourant "that Great Britain has no intention of violating tho iiciitrality of Holland. as was proved by the fact that Great Britain made not the slightest allusion to attempts to get trans- ports to Antwerp along the Sclieldt.”

Mr. Churchill, while emphasizing the necessity for the

Dutch people to be ready, declared that from the side oi' the Allies no danger threatened Holland. But with Bol- gluni in the possession of the Germans there would be it perpetual threat to Dutch independency. "That," he said. "is n question that concerns only your own people. ln any case it would be impossible for Great Britain, the chain- pion oi’ one little nution, ever to attack the rights oi' nn-

other little country." .

“There has been some anxiety," added Mr. (lhurchill,

“of possible territorial changes being mndc at the cost ot' Holland. But after our successful war-and thcro is no doubt that the Allies will win-the position of small coun- tries will bc stronger than ever, It has been said in cer- tain quarters that at the Peace Congress thc rights of llol- land might he threatened. To damage llolland would bc utterly opposed to the sense of Brltisli justice and policy.”
