REV. G. 9M. GRANT ON EDUCATION,

Rav. G. M. Grant, once @ resident of this Island, now the popular pastor of St. Matthew's Halifax, recently delivered an address on the question, ‘What can be done to Improve Education in Nova Sco. tis?” After detailing the educational grievances of the Province—which are in many respects similar to those of Prince Edward Island—Mr. Grant proceed: to suggest improvements :—

(1) It is now a recognized principle with all true edueationists that when you have not s general system of common schools, the best way to improve it is by improving your academies and colleges. The ool influence will gravitate down- to the lowestschools. You get thus teachers, better material for inspec. and the wholesome influence of schos ip and culture; proper prizes are held

the profession; men are thus in-~ to remain in it, and the social status whole body is elevated. A young is getting $2 0 or $300 a year now. Well, perhaps that is as much as he is

. At any rate he need not dream that the people by a dead lift in his iittle section will resse it to $500. And even if they did, would that secure him to the ion for life? Certainly not. Butlet im know that he can rise by merit to be

a master inan academy at $1,200, an ins |

at $1,600, or a professor at $2,000

gate has corcething to look forward to. His value rises both in the social scale and in the matrimonial market. And he ceases to think of giving up the noble work of teaching in order that he may make $300 by canvassing the country and worrying

honest men in‘obuying some book that he | himself never read, or some bogus inrens |

tion for making bread without flour.

To begin with, then, we need in Nova, ~~~..~..~-...-.-~—

Fancy it applied to other callings | ordination in Scotland should be unrecogs | | nized anywhere else, and that I should be | re-examined and re-ordained before being | allowed to take a charge in Nova Scotia, | |or that no doctor should be allowed to | practice unless he graduated from Dal-

| housie College. Nova Scotians have no |

Other things |

and rightly prefer them. They don’t ask for protection or monopoly.

‘But how then shall we be protected | from a deluge of inefficient teachers? We | need not be alarmed. First, the teacher | must have a license from some recognised body. Secondly, the Commissioners and parents are not eager to engage or to cons tinue the services of a drone, and besides the awful eye of one of the 18 inspectors will be ever on him. And thirdly, results should be paid for. This is the only fair test, and it should certainly be applied here as it is rigorously in Britain. Look

| The bad not only do little or nothing but

how it is now. Two teachers pass the

| Same eXamination, one by the skin of his | teeth, perhaps by some species of foxing; |

the other handsomely. Ihe one is lazy and inefficient ; the other enthusiastic and | successful. But both receive the same government allowance. That's bad enough | mn the country. It is worse in the towns. Here is a graded school with eight or ten teachers ; five or six good, the others bad,

| they clog the whole school; yet good and bad are paid alike. There is no test no exhibition of results. Why should there not be a standard for every department, and for every school, and each teacher be | paid the government allowance according to the number of scholars that pass the | standard annually, as in Britain, where the inspector examines and reports, and the teacher gets government money according to his reports ; so much for every scholar that reads intelligentiy, or writes legibly, or spells well, etc., etc. Would not such a system keep the deluge from us? Would jit not also expose sham teachers, encour

| age and be the means of promoting good | ones, and also show to the public the real

| mon school education.

“Well, I think I have said enough for one night. In brief, | would say, in order to improve education we must get better teachers, We can only get these (1) by | having proper academies and colleges,

where a liberal education can be received

(2) by offering such prizes in masterships of such institutions, inspectorships and the | like as will induce men to adopt teaching | as their life profession (3) and by paying

for results.

And more than this, if seized by his old enemy during sleep, he may wake, exclaiming: ‘ Oh my leg, my leg ; it pains me the same as when it was on.

More curious still, he may tell you he can, so far as his own feelings are concerned, act- ually move the foot of the amputated limb. What do these facts prove? They prove: Ist. That the brain is the source of all motion and sensation, morbid or sane; they prove in- versely, 2nd, that the brain is the source of rest and remission, sleep included; they further prove, 3d, that the brain is the source of all paroxysmal recurrence, whether the more prominent symptoms be general or

Forget not, O man, that thy station on earth is appointed by the wisdom of the Eternal, who knoweth the heart, who seeth the vanity of all thy wishes, and who often in mercy denieth thy request.

Yet for all reasonable desires, for all honest endeavours, his benevolence hath established, in the nature of thing, a pros bability of success.

The uneasiness thou feelest, the misfor~ tunes thou bewailest, behold the root from whence they spring, even thine own folly thine own distempered fancy.

Murmur not, therefore, at the dispen« sations of God, but correct thine own heart, neither say within thyself, If 1 had wealth, power, or leisure, I should be happy, for know, they all bring to their several pos~ sessors their peculiar inconveniencies.

AGRICULTURAL.

HINTS FOR THE SEASON.

A Sharp Eye is of the greatest use at this cold season. Stock needs watching with No falling off in eondition should A little extra feed now will do great good, and will doubtless save a large expenditure two months hence. Be- sides, it is easier to keep up than to bring up the condition of an animal.

Cellars need ventilating and extra pro tection against sudden cold snaps.

A plentiful supply of water 1s quite in- dispensable to the welfare of farm stock. Ice-cold water is injurious and wasteful.

A bucket of such water will destroy the |

good effect of several good feeds. The water-trough should be kept free fram ice, and it should be emptied as soon as the stock has been watered. Many people believe that sheep can live without drink- ing, but this is a great mistake. All ani- mals fed upon dry feed need water fre- quently. Snow is no substitute for water.

Young stock need especial care, and exposure to damp in mild or thawy weather is more hurtful than dry though compara- tively severe cold,

Manure should be gathered and worked with care. If allowed to freeze it remains unaltered until late in spring. That ins tended for root crops should be worked over, and piled up neatly with straight sides and flat top, so that it may receive as much moisture as possible. Labor spent in working over manure is well spent. Three turnings will bring it into a condi-~ tion for use in early spring.

Vermin should be watched for. A week- ly allowance of sulphur given in some salt will tend to keep down vermin. rubbed up with lard makes a good appli- cation against lice if rubbed along the spine of an animal infested. Whale-oil is also a good application. Carbolic acid and

kerosene should be used with caution ; |

they may do more harm than good if too freely used,

Snow is easily removed from paths and from the platform of the pump, etc., if at- tended to promptly. If trodden down the labor is greatly increased. Let the work be done the first thing every morning, and

also frequently during the day if snow is |

falling. Nothing is gained by delay. Do not wait until the storm is over before, breaking the roads about the premisess Get out the teams and keep the roadr open. If you have not a snow-plow a pai of harrows will level the drifts and help t pack the snow. It is not so important how the work is done—only do it, and do it promptly.

In starting a heavy load on a sleigh be

the snow, and, if possible, help the team by moving the sleigh ahead a few inches with a lever at starting.

Morse-~Shoeing is a very important as well as an expensiveitem. A horse should be kept sharp shod in winter or not shod at all. Many a good horse is ruined for want of attention to this matter.

Farm Horses kept in the stable and only worked occasionally should be fed and managed with care. A common mistake is to let them do nothing for several days and then “put them through.’ A sharp trot for a mile or two until the sweat starts will do no harm, but rather good, provided they are rubbed dry afterwards. But to drive them rapidly eight or ten miles, let them stand in the cold for an hour or two and then drive them rapidly home, and give them little care when they get home, is thoughtless and cruel.

A warm bransmash is a good thing to give a horse when he is brought home hot and exhausted from a long journey. Blanket him at once, and rub his ears and legs, and then rub his belly and flanks and such other parts of the body as can be got at without wholly removing the blanket.

If your man thinks this too much trouble, and will not do the work willingly, dis- charge him. Better part with a man than lose a good horse.
