A Disappointed Reader.

LEPPERS TO THE EDITOR, ti

Sir,—I was grievously disappointed this evening when I saw no‘hing more from “Steeple Cleycon.” ‘Quiz,’ in yester- day’s Dainty asks: ‘*Where in the world did you pick up such a crank!’ Wherever you picked him up, by all meaus, Dear Sir, hold him fast. Don’t let him slip through your fingers No one else has given us such amusement since Patrick Trainor, Esquire, lectured us from the hustings on politics and politicians, and on candidates for Judicial and gubernatorial offices.

ADMIRER. Ch’town, May 31, 1884.

Justice for King’s County.

Sir,— Will you, through your paper, inform the temperance people of King’s County what John McKinnon, (Chief Inspector of Licenses) bas done since he was appointed. More than three months has passed away and we have heard of nothing being done by him. Surely he will never ask for his salary; and if the Govern- ment pays him it will be unjust. The temperance friends want to see the law carried out, especially when they pay a man $600 a year for seeing to it; and if J. McKinnon cannot attend to it, let him be honest enough to give up the position to some one that will discharge the duty faithfully. |

Latin and Greek in the Schools.

Sir,— Much can be said againat the study of Latin aud Greek in public schools, The time wasted over these languages is, in itself, a very serious consideration. A study of other and more useful subjects is often neglected that pupils may have a smattering «f Latin and Greek. It would take five or six years close study te enable one to read any of the ancient authors with ease and clearness. How foolish, then, it must be to require a student to spend two or three years over a book that he can never peruse with profit after he leaves school? There are some who think a study of Latin and Greek words a good mental exercise. It is fortunate that those who

A Lover oF JvUsTIcE.

hold this opinion are becoming less numer-_

ous every day. What limited ideas must they have had of the minds of our youth, Did it never ocenr to them that the study of words is a sniall business; that it tends to contract, rather than expand the urind, be- sides itaffurds an exercise to oue of the facul- ties only—the memory. The world would have made but little progress 1f people had been content with the old-fashioned studies of the school-room. It is the study of things that affords youth any real mental ‘exercise, and it is the study of things lwhich has bronght society to its ‘present state of civilization. Science should be the chief study of every youth. | Who will say that the study of physiology ‘is not of more importance than the study of Latin words? \about che stracture of one’s body, how to ‘obtain health and how best to preserve it, than it is to be able to: read of the super- stitiuns uf a people who lived many years ago. I see by the curricnlum of the | Normol School, which you published a few days ago, that twenty-four hours per week late devoted to the study of Latin and Greek, and one hour only to the study of ‘Agricultural Chemistry. The science of

Physiology has been dropped from the

carriculum, Even the English language is of so little importance with our Normal School masters, that three or four hours per week only are devoted to its study. . Mr. A. Anderson in his last report gave every one to understand that the subject Physi- ‘oloyal was taught in the Normal School. However, the truth will out; and having ‘discovered the truth it is necessary for ‘every one to arge upon our Normal School ‘masters the necessity of dropping Latin and Greek from the Normal Sehoul curri- iculum, and in place addirg the science of Acricultural Physiology, the Philology of the English language, etc. Yours, ELECTOR.

Our Worthy City Council.

—_—-

(From the Summerside Journal.)

The City Council of Charlottetown would do credit to the town of Decatur, Georgia, whose authorities refused the offer of a rail- Way station, and passed a law allowing animals to run at large, but drew the line at boys playing mapbels, which they for- bade. Charlottetown was handsomely laid out with wide and regular streets, which, however, are in a chronic s'ate of filth and neglect, and as for the sidewalks, they have long since become a byeword and a re- proach throughout the Dominion. Years ago the princip.l streets were daily sprinkled to allay the dust which is not only very an- noying to pedestrians, but positively dam- aying to dry guods and other wares in the stores ; now, however, the water carts are broken up, and the citizens have to sprinkle the streets at their own expense. In the same way, the hotel keepers who are in the habit of running coaches to the Rail- way Station and Steamboat Wharf were forced, in order to protect their property, io employ men at their own expense to re- pair the crossings on Water Street, and yet the City Counctl have the coulness to im- pose a tax upon horses and carriages! As is well known Charlottetown is largely built of wood, and has bet a trifling protec: tion against fire. We say trfling, for although it possesses good steam engines aud willing hands to man them, there is no water supply, and the appropriations for the Fire Department are made in a most niggardly spirit. Neither is there any water for domestic use, if we except a solution impreguated with decaying cate,

old shoes, tin cans and rope ends, which is peddled about the city by licensed venders at acenta bucket. For this state of things the people are themselves to blame ; they have r solutely opposed the introduction of waterworks, fearing the expense. although they annually pay far more in purchasing water by the bucket and in extra insurance than the water rates would amount to. The present majority at the City Council Board reflect the wishes of’ their constitu- ents most admirably, some of them going so far, it is said, as to allow their antipathy to pure water to affect their personal habits. After the fire last February the Insurance Cvmpanies raised their rates twenty per cent., andseme of the leading ‘men again endeavored to effect an improve- ment in the order of things. Pub- lic meetings were held, and a

committee appainted, ‘to report’ upon ‘the best mode of procuring an efficient |water supply. They obtained iuformation, and that no time should be lost, a number ‘of persons formed a company for the pur- pose of introducing water, and applied for an Act of Incorporation. It will seareely be believed that this scheme was opposed |by the majority of the City Council, who ipersonally canvassed against it, and eir- culated for signature a petition to the Leg- ‘islative Council against the passage of the Bil, which, unfortunately, had the desired ‘effect. Not only this, but the citizens’ ‘committee were hampered at every point, | the use of a room refused them for their \neetings, and when a public meeting was

Is it not better to know; held last week, when the hour of opening

arrived, the Market Hall was not fit to lmeetin. It is worthy of remark also that, |on Arbor Day, when it might be expected ithat the authoriti¢és wonld be foremost in ithe work of beautifying the city, only one of their number—Counciilor Murphy—took any interest in the proceedings. |Ajl this is very discreditable to the chief town of the Garden of British North America.

An analysis of the division in the British House of Commons on May 14th, on the vote of censure, shows that six liberals and thirty-two of the Irish party voted with the opposition, while thirty-six liberals, eight conservatives and twelve Parnellites and Home Rulers were absent. The total vote was slightly heavier, than on Mr, Chaplin's vote of ceusnreon Feb, 19: h,when the House numbered 578, or five Jess then on May 14th. Having r gard, however, to the im- portance of the Oceasion the recent vote cannot be eonsidered a full one. The number has been exceeded during the present Pariizment on the occasion of the rejection of the Affirmation Bill—292 to 289—when the House numbered 586; and Mr. Marriott’s amendment to the Cleture being defeated—318° to 279—tlie House then numbering 602, the largest for many years.

The Winnipeg Sun is authority for the statement that a Sen Francisco firm hes just invested $1,250,000 in a salmon-canning enterprise in British Columbia. The waters of that province contain the most prolife salmon fishéries in the world, and this firm intends to ship divect to Eastern Canada, the Eastern Sates and Europe, over the Canadian Pacific. They estimate that they will require three carsa day. This would represent abont 50 train-loads or 10,000 vons of salmon a year—a big industry.
