Our Girls

It ia pleasing to note that the proposition | -

that there shall be another man to teach one of the highest classes ia our girl's school, is causing discuasion throughout the town. The proposition is certainly one of first-class importance. There is, 10 a general way, 4 great deal of truth

in the saying that ‘the hand « hich rocks the cradle rules the world.” The minds which will impel the hands which will rock the eradles of the future, are now being formed, trained, educated, in th ools. Theretore

It is gen-

erally believed that the women who teach in the schools are, as a clasa, as well edu-

eated, as highly retined, as capable in the

conduct of aschool, as the wen At the times during which the staff of Prince Stteet School was wholiy made up cf women, the statu and the tone of the school was us high as at any other time. The need of one man to enforce discipline

and administer affairs may accasionally be felt. But why have two men’? We have heard no complaint concerning the present Vice-Principai of Prince Street Schooi. Everyone knows that she is a lady, and everyone feels that she diffuses over the schoolroom the softening influences which a lady breathes wherever she may be ; and the parents of her pupils, generally, are we believe, content with her. But if there removal from the other ladies, who could be

be good cause for her position, surely there are teachers in this Province, fouad to take her place.

It issiid that our girls are decidedly rougher in their behavior than were the virla of the olden time. This may mere prejudice of the aged. But we should, in any case, strive to the end that they may be refined and lady-like, as well as learned. The Psalmist gives us a high ideal when he pleads ‘‘that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace.” Happy, he says, are the people in such a case. But it reasonable to act on the supposition that a man is better able to polish feminine minds,—the minds of those of our girls who are just budding into womanhvod—than a woman of educa- tion and retinement’ Wedo not believe that it ia.

Notes and Comments.

15

—Attention is directed to the letter of Mr. Alexander Strang. It is, at all events, certain that the pier at Cape Tormentine will be of little practical value uoless the pier at Cape Taaverse be made available for steamers and vessels of light draught.

— Referring to Tue Examiner the Guardian says :—

** Its lates’ trick is to threaten its newsboys who seli the Morning Guardian also, that they will have to stop or leave Tre EXAMINER ataff.”

It ia, perhaps, needless to say that there is no truth whatever in this statement.

—The temperance people of Binbrook, having succeeded in passing a prohibitory by-law under the Oatario loca} option law, have avoided legal] complications by buying out the one hotel in the township. This constitutes in the opinion of the Montreal (iazettee a satisfactory solution of the difli- culty, so far as the licensed holder is con- cerned. In the end, it will likely prove satisfactory also to the temperance people, Between the mistake of those who make, the obstruction of those who break and the indifference of those who should enforce local option laws in Canada, those who pass them are lucky when, even by liberal pay- ments, they secure what they desire and what the statute aims at giving them for nothing.

—Evon a Secretary of State has not an absolutely enviable position. Thus a des- spatch from Washington explsins Mr. iiaine’s reticence concerning his reply to tudini by the statement that it was sup- pressed by the President. Taking just or unjust exceptions to some phrases in Blaine’s letter to Rudini, the President quietly pocketed it, and bas had Blaine prepare another at his dictation. It is not strange that Blaine should have had another attack of the ‘‘gout,” and consider- ing the irritation which he has sutfered from the President privately, and from the Italian premier publicly, it is not strange that he is being quoted as saying even more savage things about the former than about the latter. A press correspondent says that the wonder among outsiders is, of course, that he does uct resign But this, to those who know Blaine and bis plans, would be esteemed suicidal. Le would leave his on- tire reputation, as well as his political fature in the hands of his great opponents, the President, McKinley and Reed by re- signing. They would make short work of his half-formed reciprocity agreements, and would lay the whole responsibility fur the failure of his plaus and the fulfillment of his promises and prophecies upor. the fact that he was chimerical and quixotic. To develop some measure of success for his pur- pose he must still bite his lip and bide his time. But nothiog seems more certain than that he will leave the Cabinet before the present administration goes out, aud it pow seems most probable that he will resigu be- fore the next yational convention meets.

The Capes’ Route.

Sik.—1l understand from Me. sown, of Public Works Department, St.

an estimate of the coat of extending our pier here so as to secure U8 seventeen leet

§ water at low tide, at a cost of fifty thou- sand dollars. Now, what we want, Mr. | Editor, is for the people and journalists to ask the Government to grant the amount at once, so that the work can be preceeded with this summer —as the large smount of mouey spent on Cape Tormentine will be of very little use until the pier here is com- pleted, If the piers had been completed and the steamer Stanley put on here last fall, we would, I believe, have had regular communication all winter, I believe that there was not over four days in the past winter on which the Stanley could have run from shore to shore in a very short time. Let any unprejudiced mind stop and thiek for a few minutes. First, let him think that this is the place formed by nature tou connect us with the mainland. Second, that it matters not how full the Straits are of ice, if there is not a gale of northwest wind when the tide starts to recede, there would be openings in the ice so that the Stanley could slip acroas in less than one-half hour. The reason for ice parting is that the tide comes from the northwest and from the southeast, and the two tides meet here. When the tide is about half high we have still-water for sometime and in mid gulf you will find the tide start to run out sooner than it does near the shore, which causes the ice to shake out with leads of water all through— which the Captain of the steamer could take advantage of—for with his glass he could gee every foot of his course.

1 have crossed here asa hand with Capt. Irving on a good many occaeions, and since the Marine Department has had charce o° the crossing, | have conveyed the boatmen, boats and mai!s, to and from the boathouse to the edge of the board ice. Consequently every day | have au opportunity to see the Scraits in all shapes, And it is my candid opinion that the Stanley would cross every day except im a snow-storm. Another great thing in favor of the Stanley here is when we have northeast winds it drives all the ice out of the Straits here and fills up at Pictou

Now, since the first of March, the first north-east wind we had this winter—what was the fact? The Stanley stuck out in the ice for a week and the boats crossing here with nearly all clear water. Had the pier been completed and the Stanley been here, what a boon it would have been to P. E. Island farmers. Justead of thousands of bushels of potatoes rotting in their cel- lars, they could have had every potato shipped and a fine price paid for them, and eould have had them shipped as cheaply and specdily asin summer. It is so here every year —nothing to bother the Stanley after March comes in. Just let the far- mers think fora moment. Free Trade is not to be compared to the great advantages which would ba derived, providing we could get a steamer tu run daily from the first of March.

The tunnel which we expect to get is the only way we will have constant communi- cation without delay. But it will take seme time before the tunnel can be ready ; so let us have the best we can get for the present. Everybody will admit that it must be very much easier for the steamer to run through six miles of ice than forty.

Capt. Arthur Irving gives itas his opinion that the Northern Light could cross here nearly every day; so did our lamented friend, the late Hon. J. C. Pope. If he had lived the crossing would have been here by steamer long before this. I think the opinions of these gentlemen worth tak- ing. As for Capt. Irving, the old veteran is hearty and hale after fitty hard winters crossing the Straits. I think his opinion is worth taking, and if the Northern Light could do the work what would the splendid steamer Stanley do?

Just think for 4 moment of the advantages the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia far- mers have over thuse of P. E. Island. What do we find to-day? Potatoes in St, Juhn are selling at $2.25 per barrel, and oats at 70 to 75 cents, What do we find ia Charlottetown ? Potatoes are selling from 0c. to $1 per barrel. That should not be so, when it can be remedied by the Govern- ment spending $50,000. The department would soun save that amount. Some will tell you that if che Stanley was at the Capes the tide and ice would take her through the Straits, and that she could not get back. You will remember, sir, that sume tive years ago there was a boat and baggage lost off the ‘‘ board ice” about the first of January. That boat was in the Straits all winter drifting with the ice, and in the spring ehe was picked up full of water— not hurt—-nearly in the same position in which she was lost, and it was a very severe win- ter, It is my candid opinion that there is never any ice made in the Straits that would stop the Stanley.

News Notes,

Mr. James W. Scott, chief proprietor and editor of the Chicago Herald, has been chosen chief director of the World’s fair. If he can conduct as good a fair as he does & paper it will be worth while buying ex- cursion tickets to the windy city in '93.

M. Paul Cambon, who is now at Madrid, was the person fixed upon to succeed M. Herbette at Berlin, It appears that the recall of the latter official had practically been decided some weeks ago, though it was not thought desirable to act upon it at once. M. Cambon’s acceptance of the pes.tion was doubtful for personal and faim- ily reasons, including the state of his wife’s health and his own. The tension between the Emperor and M. Herbette had been noticeable since the visit of the Empress Dowager to Paris.

Lieut, Totten, the military instructor at Yale, has been making computations, and fixes the end of the world in March, 1899. Never in the history of min, he says, stuod Adam's posterity un so ominous a threshold. Canada’s own Professor Wiggins has pre- dicted an earthquake for August 17, 1904, and as there could be no earthquake in 1904 if the world came to an end in 1899, it is plain the Yale man is out in his figur- ing. Canadians will refuse to tremble tli the time fixed by their own prophet for their own shake up.

Sunny Clime's Pedigree

The N. Y. Spirit of the Times has the} fo'lowing : *‘ The breeders of the ~ Domin. ion are to be congratulated in having in their midst euch an euterprising and far- seeing young gentleman us Mr. George O’Brien, of Maccan, Nova Scotia, who, al- though but a recent acquisition to the ranks, is already at the tep and bids fair to achieve a success equal to that of any breeder in the Dominion, or even’ in the! States. As evidenced by his-recent pur- chase, Sunny Clime, 3951, he realizes ’ that the breeders desire the best, and proposes to place within their reach the means of securing it. Sunny Clime is a superb re- presentative of one of the greatest speed producing families of the present day, being by Sultan, 2 24 (sire of Stamboul, 2 11, and 24 others in 2.30), out of Atalanta (dam of Othello, 2 287, and Atalanta Wilkes, 2 293), by The Moor ; 2d dam Minnehaha, dam_ of Alcazar, 2.204; Sweetheart, three years, 2.224 ; Eva, 2 234; Beautiful Bells, 2.294; San Gabriel, 2 292, ete Atalantaisa fad sister to Beautitul Bells, 2.293, dam of Bell Boy, three years, 2.19}; Hinda Rose, three years, 2.194; Palo Alro Belle, three years, 2.224, and St. Bell, 2 244.. The ap- preciation in which this blood is held is shown by the prices they. bring at public auction, Bell Boy having been sold for $51,000, and subsequently at private sale for $60,000 ; Mascot, a two-year-old son of Minonehaha,sold at auction for $26,000; Voo- doo, $24 000, while a number of others sold for over $10,009. Sunny Clime is a fi: e in dividual, and will undoubtedly prove a suc- cess When crossed with the blood now in that section of the Dominion.”

He says: ‘ Over a month has elapsed without any reply from McCarthy, notwithstanding the stimulated zeal of the seceders for the interest of evicted tenants.
