SI'I‘UA'l‘I()N IN CANTON SERIOUS.
HONG KONG, Aug. ,4.-The situa-
tion in Canton remains serious. The electric lights ' were cut off at inid- night and the people are fearful of a mutiny. Trains and junkie and other vessels leaving the city are packed with refugees. A siege of Canton is expected with the arrival there of Gcncral Lung Chi-Kuang, comman- der of the government forces in the province of Kwang Si, who is mov- ing southward on the city with his army.
Soldiers are patrolling the streets
of Canton, as the police there are iinrellable. Seventy firaitorous sol- diers were shot ln that city Friday. A reward of $60,000 has been offered for the head of Governor Chan of Canton. -
Men with guns from British and
French warshipsu are guarding the shameen or foreign quarters of Can- ton where valuables worth millions of dollars are stored. 'The interna- tional fleet lying oil the city, has been augmented by the arrival of Americans, Germans and French men of war. Soldiers have been sent from Hong Kong to Canton and the naval vessels here are ready to leave at a moment’s notice with stores and ad- ditional troops.

SUMMEH SSHUUL 1 EUH TEAAIHENS
Dr. Ha:ni'lt0n’s subject for yester-
day's lesson was the School Gurdon. This. no doubt, is one of the most im-Dortant subjects that has yet come up before the teucliers at the Sum. mer School. Comenius, the first' real modem educator, has said: "A school garden should be connected with every school whrlre children can at UIYNIH KRW “P011 trees and flowers and be taught to enjoy them." In n previous lesson Dr. Hamilton spoke of the great progress school garden- ing has made in the different coun- tries of the world, and yesterday his chief topic was the “sett ng ont” of the school garden. '
The tclwhff. after having got the
consent of the trustees, decides upon a plot which should inot be very large at iirst:. in no case more than 50 x
100 ft. ,The plan of the garden should bc as simple as possible. lt is a mistake for amateurs to attempt elaborate designs. It should have a border three feet wide, in which may be planted, in order from the inside, nnsturtiuin, sweet peas and sunflow- er. Divide the garden into plots, ten fort long and varying in width from two to li\‘e feet. Around it have il path two feet wide, and cross paths ll and 2 feet wide. The land should be plowed up in the fall and harrow- ed two or thrcc times and in the spring given n coating of well rotted manure, then harrowed and re-llar- rowcd. Next it should be worked up with a hoe and the plots made uni- form in size, etc., marked oil by stakes about 1} ft. long and 1; in. square. which are specially prepared
'at a ‘moderate cost. '
The plan of the garden should be
drawn up in the school, letting the pupils do the measuring and drafting for themselves thus, while acquiring a love from nature there is being cui- tivated in the pupil accuracy in mea- surement, arithmetic, etc.
Dr. I-Iami'lton's next lesson on this
subject will treat of the planting of and the caring for the diderent vege- tables. etc., grown in a school gar- den.
Yesterday nfternoon Professor Ross
took sections “B”, “D", “E” and "F" and he explained to them the importance of using the Text Book only as a guide in the country schools, that pupils should be taught to find the answers to the questions that are askled :u the Text Book from the plants and fields with which ehey have often come in contact. He suggested that a calendar should be kept permanently on the black board and that the scholars should be ask- ed to bring in the first of each of the wild flowers they came across in bloom and t-hat the name of the scholar finding the first specimen should he put on the calendar. In this way new weeds getting into the settlement would be quick y detected, and as each pupil would be anxious to find a specimen there would he a chance of having them kept out al-, together. He impressed upon the teachers the important necessity of thinking of the development of the child in their work rather than the teaching of any particular object. If it was kept in mind that the school was supposed to serve a real need in the community and that they were training children to be citizens of the community, they were sure to make a success of their schools andtheir schools were sure to be appreciated by the ratepayers in the way appre- ciation comes, that is, 'larger supple- lnents and better facilities.

ENTEHTATLNANIS
THE TEAUHEHS
During the past ten days some 270
teachers from different ‘parts of the province have sojourned in the city. Their visit was not in the nature of a holiday. 'They spent strenuous hours in study and as a result will go back to their arduous duties bet- ter equipped for their work, better satisfied with their vocation and more fully alive to its responsibilit- ies. It -is safe to infer that the term, short though it was, will have a marked effect on the schools through- out the province and that as a' re- sult of the association and the in- spiration-as well as of the instruct- ion received-an impetus will be giv- en to education that will tell for good for all time to come.
It is gratifying to find that citiz-
ens generally have taken a keen in- terest in the work of the Summer School and in the visiting teachers as well-. The Guardian is pleased to announce that a series of enter- taiaments of various kinds have ,been arranged for as a fitting close to the first _Summer School for teachers, held in the province. This afternoon and tomorrow afternoon a number of auto owners will take as many of the teachers as can he accommodat- ed for drives around the city and suburbs; on Friday afternoon a river trip on the Steamer Harland has been arranged for; On Friday evening as already announced, a piano and vocal recital will he held in honor of the teachers in St, James Hall.
It is pleasing to note this attent-
ion on the part of the citizens and it is quite sure to be fully appreciated by the visitors, to whom The Guard- ian, with the ciiizens, heartily says "Come again."

PUBLIC MEETING
SUMMEN SEHUUL
Following is the address delivered
by Mr. Frederick F. siiiitli at the second public meeting ofthe Suni- uler Schooli-
Althollgli the school of which I am
Principal is only about thirty miles HWHY from ' the very interesting schools described by Dr. Loomis and MF- H2810. Yet local circumstances are very different, Mr. Heald and I)r. Loomis are fortunate in being placed in the most fertile section of New England, where the Connecticutt; River in past ages built fertile flood plains, wolidelfully adapted for agriculture. On the contrary, iny own school is in the Berkshire Hills, u. southward continuation of tllc Green Mountains of Vermont; steep, rocky hillsides, often with no 00V0l`il\l§ Ol Boil at all, render ag- riculture impossible over a large area of the town. The sentiment of the people is also rather decidedly against any attempt to do very nlucll ill this line. Our school is also without all endowment fund, and its yearly expenses are met by local taxation, by certain rather small grants fl'oin the State, and by tili- UUH fluid by pupils from other States, an amount which is ‘inciden- tally by the state, so that in resi- ity it is practically all extension of the State grant to us. In the face 'of all these favorable conditions it is iilmpiissible for us to do more than a faint beginning in teaching agilgnl. ture us I feel it ought to be taught. But if the forces oi nature have been set against the farmer in that parti- cular section they operate to help the manufacturer. The lliils, which are too rocky to cultivate, furnish little streams with abundant water
power. 'l;lie mining of emery, form- rly a__ rg _ in ustr in Chester, 'lies declin€\Sd'£>f i°éc`ént"yyears, but the manufacture of .emery has increased greatly. The Superintendent of a large Emery Wheel factory is one of our best allies, in that he calls for a highly trained class of operatives, and the boys are beginning to find out that the High School offers work which will enable them to earn good pay. Thus, our school has in- dicated possibilities which are truly vocational but which tend to other lines than the agricultural possibili- ties so conspicuous in the region de- scribed by Mr.i Heald and Dr. Loom- is, or, the much larger agricultural region of this beautiful Island. The authorities in charge of the School are still largely imbued with the old culture idea of education and are rather prone to be susl>iCi0L\B of Huy extension of our work into fields that have not been troddenpy stu- dents of past ages. The tax-payers are on the whole inclined to support this cultural idea, partly because of having a vague impression that there is some miraculous efficacy in such subjects as Latin, 'Algebra and Geometry, perhaps on the principle that man is more or less Prone to worship that which he does not un- derstand. The taxpayers are also partly influenced by the feeling that these subjects can be taught more cheaply than subjects which would require more elaborate equipment, or, perhaps more outside teachers. Thus, whatever inovations we make have to- be made rather cautiously. As a matter of fact, we can say that the cultural side of education is by no means to be disregarded. The task that lies before us is to con- vince the "powers that be" that there is an important cultural value to even the Applied Science branch- es, and that our Pure Sciences can extend into, so many ramifications that they may be regarded as prac- tically in the same class as the Ap- plied Sciences. An entering wedge was made when the people began to notice the Field Trips which are made in connection with various Science subjects. A further extension is made when we take a more care- ful study of the local industries. I hope that this coming year we may go still further and see our boys be- ing initiated into some of the pro- cesses that take place at the vari- ous industrial plants in the tow-n. We see the need of a close articula- tion between onr school work and the occupations of some of the worle ers in little instances such ss this; A factory superintendent engages a man to make forms for Emery wheels, these are demanded in an enormous variety of shapes and styles. .The man that is hired for this work is undoubtedly a skilled workmsnin metals, but he does not know how to interpret the drawings that are put in his hands when a new kind of wheel is called for. The measurements are expressed in met- ric units, and this also troubles him. We are trying to remedy this by giv- ing courses .for the boys in which the principles of mechanical draw- ing are very carefully taught. Now, all these matters are taken up not entirely with the idea of gettin! a plucc for the boy in the immediate
