Education Report.
DonaLp Monrcomery, Esq., Superin- tendent of Education for this dyvovince, in his recently published Repert for the year 1879, says: ‘‘During the year marked pre- gress has been made in many school sec- tions. Seven new buildings have been erecied, providing ample accemmodaiion for twenty-four school departments and no less than 1,200 children.”
The Sxeperintendent, in his report, pub- lishes a tabular statement which shows that the number cf schools has continually in- creased since the year 1877, and that the number of vacant schools have diminished from 72 to 21.
During ihe past year 450 teachers were employed ; 32 ef this number were first- class, 62 second-class, and 356 third-class, the year 1878. number of pupils enrolled in 1879 19,240 ' 664. The average daily attend-

School corporations and in fact all local erganizations were new land untried in this Province ; and it was not to be wondered at, that trustees and | secretaries found great difficulties in collect- assessinents levied. In other the Dominiov, minicipel which are in this part ef the enctirely> unknewn, exeept ip Charlottetown, are made available for collecting school rates. The meade of collecting leeal rates for school purposes iz one that demands the serious consideration of the Government and Legislature. If the law were changed to give ie Provincial Collectors autherity to collect the school rates for their respective sections, and pay over to the several school corporations the amonnte thus col- it would lighten the burdens of Trustees and make the duties ef Secretary less disagreeable.”

Sir,---It appears from yeur valuable daily of yesterday that the private ‘‘meeting of leading citizens” has euced in the adop-
tion of a series of résolutions which are to
ve considered at a public meeting ef the rate payers to-morrow at the Market Hall. it therefore devolyes upon all tax payers
who value their privileges as citizens to at- tend the Mayor's meeting io-morrow. The ‘* valuable suggestions” proposed by these ** consideration

during the year was. $91,007.77.
The amount of supplement paid by the Government in 1878 was $11,117.65, an- increase of $1,375.46 over 1878.
The Superintendent publishes a com- parative statement of the expenditure for education, during the years 1876, 77, ’78, and "79, and says: ‘It will be seen from the statement that the expenditure for 1879 is largely in excess of any previous year. This is owing chiefly to the fact that a much larger number of schools were in operation throughout the year. The in- creased number of second class teachers and graded schools also add considerably to the ordinary expenditure.”
The amount of supplements voted for the year ending 30th June 1880 for the differ- Ent counties and corporations was $12,287,- 25—Queen’s County voted $8,852.00, Prince County $83,618.75, King’s County 014.00, Charlottetown $2,127,50, Sum- Balances ef the sup-
$2,
merside, 2675.00 plements of. the years 1877, 1878, and 1879 remain unpaid, and the Superintendent recommends that unless the amounts voted as supplements be collected within the year for which the levy is made, the (Govern-
ment equivalent be forfeited.
Regarding the work of, Inspectors the Superintendent says :—
‘‘ These Inspectors had increased circuits embracing somewhat less than 200 schools each—the graded and first class schools being placed under the immediate inspec- tion of the Superintendent. Inspector Curran of the Eastern section presented an additional statement giving very valuable infermation. It includes accyrate and full statistics of each schoel visited, with re- marks on the standing and eflicieacy of the teachers, and the nature and extent of the work dene. The frequent changing of In-
i posed, but ihe classes of property as well as of incemes are not described. All citi- zens whe do not contribute under the two preceding heads, are to pay a tax of $2.00 each. Surely it is intended to have regard to the circumstances of these coming under this head, some of whem may be in the an- nual receipt of $1,000 and upwards, and others in those days of extreme ecenomy, with salaries which afford a bare subsis- tence. The recepient of $1500.00 a year should surely pay a larger than 32.00 a year if peor officials at salaries frem $500 to $800 a year have to pay that amennt. This proposition will doubtless be explain- ed by its promoters at the meeting. It is also condescendingly announced ‘‘ that all who pay taxes shall have the right to vete.” Whe, in the name of freedom, ever in- timated anything to the contrary? The qualification for City “Counciller is te be raised to $1,000.00, thatis, he must own property of that value. Whether ‘clear of incumbrances”’ er not remains to he ex- plained. Or the aspirant for eivie honors must be a tenant paying an annual rent ef $500. 60. This arbitary barrier, in the way of talent and enterprise, emanating from a meeting of leading citizens should receive, as cdeubtiézs it will, severe eriticisin. ‘There are many of our most talented, best educated, and enterprising
of our citizens, that would be debarred from a seat in the City Couneil, under a clause of this arbitrary and tyrannical nature, enacted by law.
The men in the past history of our City, as well as Province at large, who contributed most the permanent advancement ef our institutions and Corporations, have been men not possessing high qualifications in dollars and cents, though in all that tends to build up those institutions, they are the Peers of their richer fellow-citizens. Can it be possible that these gentlemen whose names are attached to the requisition for the public meeting, wre advocates of the exciusires and eelfish pelicy portrayed by the absurd preposition in question. We may well exclaim ‘‘Omnia mu- tantur, et mutamur in illis.”

Inthe interest of fair play this be appointed Inspector ; and when ones ap- absurd ‘‘suggestion” should be stamped

The able report is concluded by the fel- lowing remarks on Local Assessinent :
‘“‘ Previous to the year 1877 the teachers were paid almost entirely out of the Pro-
vincial Treasury, and although under that |
system much good had been done, yet, as ne local efforis were called forth, the cause of education was suffering from want of attention and enceuragement on the part of interested. The Act of 1877 mado provision for local assesaments, and gave the Trustees and meetings of rate- payers corporate powers which enabled their schoels with
them to carry on greater ease and efficiency — than formerly. A great deal of incen-
yenience, however, resulted from the col-

He borrows all (my clothes, and yet he patrenizes me, ‘and tells me I ought to dress better, My ‘‘lollypep’ tells mo the same ‘thing, and helds up Smith as a sample, as the pink of a& well-dressed man, as the bution-hele bouquet of elegance. I wonder how long Vil have to stand it. It was just day be- ‘fore yesterday that the fellow invited me around to ses his library, and hang me if he didn’t have half of my boeks in it. Smith would borrow anything. [f I had everything of mine that he’s got I could set up a second-hand store to-day. New I can’t ind a decent ceat, a clean shirt, a reapectable collar, a walking-stick, an um- brella, or my only pair ef good shoes. Smith’s got em all.” “And he pulled the collar of his eld coat over his soiled shiri- front, tucked up his pants over his worn- eut shoes,.and sallied out into the rain, — Louisville Courier-Journal.
