MORE LIGHT!
MYVE Charlottetown Gas Light Company
have imported some of “B ray’s | Bueners,” which they will supply and fit on | Gas Brackets, etc, at a moderate cost to consumers,
These Burners are reported to be the best Fiat Flame Burner yet produced, and will| give @ far greater amount of light than any ' other Barner with the same consumption oj) Gas,
Dr. Wallace, F. BR. 5, E., F. C. S., Gas} Examiner to the City of Glasgow, in a lecture | delivered by him, calculated that £130,000 | ($650,000) @ year, are thrown away in Glas | gow by the use of imperfect fittings. On the| subject of Gas Burners he says; * Another | andas I think a better Burner is that called | Bray’s regulator, ard as I consider these the best unien Burners attainable at moderate} cost, I have selected them for a series of ex-}
periments,
The Keport of the Committee of the British | Association of Science to enquire as to the)
best means for the developmen: of light trom Coal Gas of different qualities—comprising | Dr. William Wallace, trofessor Dittmar, and) Mr. Thomas Wills, F. C.8., F. I, C. E., showed | that Bray’s Burner's yielded the greatest | amount of light of all the two or three score | of Burners reported upon. which included all | the Burners of repute in the market,
Ia a pamphlet upon Light and Heat, pub- lished by R. B. Tater, A. M., he says : “The cost of Gas as compared with other iliumin- ants is much more economical when rightly used, than many suppose. From experiments | made for this purpose, the following results | have been obtained, They were made by| burning samples of Devoe’s Brilliant Oil and | ordinary Oils, and testing their illaminating | power. It was found that Coal Gas costing one cent at $3 per thousand feet, gave a light equal to 18 candles, while Devoe’s Brilliant Oil consuming 27.4 grammes Cost- ing halfa cent, gave a light equal to 9 candles
“A good Argand or Johnson’s Burner, the Burner's used in the last experiment, will therefore give the light of 2 ordivary Oil Burners in direct com parison, at po greater expense in the cas: of tbe finer and safer grades of Vil, Lights,however, on the author- ity of Sc ientists, are not to be compared in direct proportion, but in proportion to the squares of their powers, and such & com- parison with the case of the use of Gas, its Clean!iness, freedom from odor and dangers, renders its use desirable wherever it can be imtiroduced,”
As the above experiments were made with Gas at $3 per 1000 feet, and not consumed through Bray’s Burners, it will readily be seen how wnuch more econoraical it is to con- sume Gas instead of Oil, when its price 1s only $2.63 per 1000 feet 2s now charged here when cousumed, more especially through Bray's Burners.
Messrs, Goodwin & Co., of Philadelphia, the Well-known manufacturers of Scientific in- struments for testing the illuminating power of Coal Gas, ete., say in their Circular to Gas Companies ; “Iu presenting the Bray’s Stand- ard Patent Slit Union Burners and Lanterns, for which we are the sole Agents in the United States, to the attention of the public, We @re Convinced that we are filling a want long felt,” They further add; “ The yield of light from these Burners is 12 to 20 per cent. Breater per cubic foot of Gas consumed than that from any fat flame Burner hitherto in- troduced, pno 4 eod

| To the Editor of the Examiner.
Sin,—In reading a recent number of your valnable paper, my attention was ar- ‘rested by a communication on the all- | important question of ‘‘ Education in Prince Edward Island,” in which the writer, ** Progress,” drew attention to certain de- ifects, neither imaginary nor superficial, ‘in our present ‘‘ education system.”
t is net my intention, in taking up the ‘train of argument, followed by ‘* Progress ”
|demerits of our present school books ; or ‘the necessity of removing the other several igrievances. But the gniding motive is to ‘show the propriety and unquestionable ‘necessity of having a graded school some- where in the vicinity of Lot Sixty-four, ithough a slight digression from this main | object) in apeaking of the others may be | considered a pardonable offence.
| ‘* Progress ” suggests thata change in ‘our present text books would be beneficial ‘to all concerned; but he draws back from jthe just indignation of the cougtry, con- sequent upon sucha course. Although a decided improvement might be made in that direction, especially in History, yet I do not think such a course would be as advisable as a proper use of those we have, ana with the viewsof ‘‘ Progress” on that point I readily concur. Take history for example. It is asubject that young teach- ers invariably take up with feelings of more or less reluctance ; and certainly it is one which requires, in order to be taught successfully, considerable practical expe- rience on the part of the teacher. It is one thing to induce a child to memorize an historical lesson, and quite another to teach History. To the majority of children it is in itself a dry, uninviting subject. beok on History is not intended to be exhaustive ; and hence there is not enough of interest connected with any important event or period to make it interesting to the average mind of children. But here it rests with the teacher to supply the de4- ciency. The text-book gives but the out- lines, the ground-work, as it were, of a beautiful picture ; and it remains with the teacher, by drawing on a fund of reserved information, to arrange it into a graphic whole; and the only essential on his part is, so to epeak, elbow room. It is not saf+ ficient that he be thoroughly acquainted with the authorized text. He should un- derstand, to a certain extent, the habits, dispositions and peculiarities of the timea, the political situation and topography of
as taught in the school of experience, they will tend to awaken an interest in the pupil ; and when he, who naturally thought that History only meant an airy romance, originated somewhere in the fertile region of the imagination, is brought face to face with living realities, the truth will gra- dually dawn upon his mind that it is not such adry subject after ail. But where is this fund of information to be obtained ? By the reading of historians like Macaulay, Hume and a host of others who enter more into detail, and treat the subject in a more exhaustive manner; or even by purusing such novels as Scotts’---the only kind of novel reading I would recommend—a good idea of the condition of the times may be obtained. The clear style, tersenese and splendid diction of Mcacaulay cannot | fail to interest ; and he who reads for the
ially benefitted.
In passing on [ will briefly notice the \disadvantage under which teachers are | placed by not having sufticient accomoda- tion for their pupils. As a _ teacher,
respect, [have experienced this annoyance ; and strange to say in a great many instan- ces it never enters the mind of the district rate-payer, that it really constitutes a grievance, being content to regard it asa wild freak of fancy keeping pace with the | progressive feeling of the times. But look at the fact. A young teacher fresi from the Provincial Training Department, full of energy and ambition, anxious to test practically the theoretical knowledge he has just acquired, enters the unknown field of labor before him. But he soon finds all is not sunshine there, and that if conquests are to be won, difficulties unbargained for must be surmounted. He is expected to
moral faculties of those intrusted to his care, and often unreasonably supposed to curb and develop refactory and obtuse miuds, that are not readily subjected by the much stronger infiuence of parental discipline. And what are his materials! Do they consist in the absence of school apparatus, in bare walls, aud insufficient accommodations! Are the expectations of parents to be realized by placing pupils and teacher inaroom of such reduced dimensions that instead of system, and method, con- fusion is the natural result; and in which the air becomes so vitiated that the energy of both must consequently flag. This is a very serious consideration. It is a matter detrimental not only to intellectual pro- gress, but to the physical faculties as well. And how can it be otherwise! Children enter the schoolroom, their clothing damp- ened with snow and sometimes rain; they are | Pasent no considerable time when every
[RANK OF P. E Toteorin penne ot OGEr the Carefal and Skiliul Supervision of Mr. J. W, Mitchell, tes seen ‘inhated, and their exbelations,
often coupled with the dampness arising from their clothing render the air oppres- sive; and the only means of ventilating in the majority of schools, is by raising the windows, and allowing a cold dranghi to enter, which mast’be done at too frequent intervals for comfort. This is a subject that might be car ied to a much greater ex- tent, especially tl:at of school apparatus, but for the present I shall pass on to notice the la-t matter refe:red to by ‘‘ Progress,” viz :
A text- |
the country ; and by using these skilfully, |
benefit of others, will in the end be mater- |
though comparatively fortunative in this |
develop and train the mental, physical and |
reason why there sheuld not. The County ,of Queen’s has a decided advantage in this respect, having several first-class and graded schools, some of which are separ- ated only by the distance of a few miles ; | while King’s has three first-class enly, the /nearest of which is-from ten to fifteen miles from the districts of Lot 64, And why is , this when those schoois are so overcrowded? , We have only to refer to the annual report to ascertain the fact that the several \districts of Murray Harbor, White ‘Sands, Guernsey Cove, Murray River, ‘and Cape Bear have pupils in attend- ance from forty to sixty-five, which accord- ling to the meaning of Section fifty-three 'Clause B. of the Public Schools’ Act entitles jthem to a graded school. The schools at Fiat River, Eldon and Mouut Buchanan ihave not a larger cettendance than those
[ja 9, to discuss particularly either the merits or| above mentioned ; yet it has been thought
{necessary to grade those, and thus divide ithe work between two teachers. And why \is there not the same necessity with respect to Murray Harbor aud vicinity? The over- crowdedness of these schcols, and the dis- ‘advantages under which teachers con- lsequently labour, vepeat the question. | It has often struck me as being very re- jmarkable that the intelligent inhabitants , of those several districts, whose interested- ness in school matters the writer can vouch for, have so far forgotten their own interest as not to have brought this subject, ere now, before the Superintendent of Educa- ition, whose prerogative it is to decide what idistricis are entitled to first-class or ad- vanced graded schools. It is not only a jmatter of laconvenience, but a very serious idrawback to the education of the young. | There are inducements for students in the {form ofscholarships, competed for every two |years, at Prince of Wales College, not only |stariing on foot honorable competition; but | conferring a very material benefit upon the {fortunate winner, especially if his or her 'parents are not very staunch in a pecuniary }point of view. Bat what advantage is to !be derived from this, if the means of edu- lcating pupils, in order to place them on a within Lock at those districts that have enjoyed for some time the benefits of a grammar school. I could give the names \of many that have won honor for them- iselves at home and abroad, We may find them at the bar, in the puipit, or filling political offices of trust—an honor to the community from which they came. In con- cluding, I hope that the inhabitants of Let sixty-four may recognize in the views of ‘** Progress” their own interest, and may endeavor to secure, at least, one school in some central position, that may be available to all; and thus supply a want that has long existed in that part of the Island.
Hoping that you will kind!y publish the above in your valuable paper,

; A TEACHER, -— River, March 9, 1882,
To the Editor of the Examiner.
Sir,—The editor of the Patriot finds fault with the Government for using the receipts from the Land Office as revenue. He says it is a childish reason to give that the Davies’ Adnfinistration used the receipts from the Land Office in the same way. In that he is perhaps right. But when we find that the Province of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, use the proceeds of their Crown Lands in the same way, it would appear as if it was the proper way to use such receipts. Would it be an economical way to raise a revenue to fund the proceeds of the Land Office at four per ,cent. and collect an assessment at sight per ‘cent. It must be remembered that it is jthe same class of people who pay into the }Land Office who would have to pay the j assessment when levied. The purchase of |Government land is really a tax on the | purchaser, and if it cen be avoided, he should not be called oa for two taxes at the same time.

Tue Queen’s action in inviting M. Gounod te write an ode for the marriage of the Duke of Albany is charply criticised by the English musicians, especially at this time, when such efforts are being made to arouse a pride in national compositions. Jt is said to be a notorious fact that at the Queen’s state con- certs, Hnglish music rarely or never finds a place in the progran.me, and now, on the marriage of an English prince to a German princess, the British coart goes to France for its music.
