VANCOUVER, B. C.. Apr. 1o_ Bimkins here last night Henry M. Richards, senior chief inspector of schools for Great Britain, attending the national council of education conference declared: "We are on the threshold o!‘ one of the greatest re- volutions in education."

The revolution, he explained, aim- ed to do away with the imposition oi set curricula for every child, irre- spective of the mental capacity-or natural inclination of the scholar and llffllwsed _to vary the charcter of instruction to meet the require. menis oi the child and thus develop fully the latent possibilities that were within the Pupil.

11.8. Reply is

(Canadian Press)

WASHINGTON. D. C., Apr. 10- Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson said today that the U. S. reply to the Canadian Government's memoran- diim on the sinking of the Lunenburg schooner I'm Alolie was being‘ pre- pared and that as soon as it had bean delivered to the Canadian min- ister, Vincent Massey, both notes would be made public.

Mr. Stimson said (he tone of the Canadian note was most temperate and conciliatory. Newspaper accounts giving an impression that the note was truculent, he said, were in error and that the reverse was the truth. The delivery oi the note to the Can- adian government will be only a mat- ter oi a few days, the secretary said.

WASHINGTON, April 10—The Un- ited States government‘: reply to Canada's note on the I'm Alone sink- ing will be handed to Vincent Mas- sey, Canadian minister at Washing- ton, within a. few days and the whole "correspondence will be made public immediately after, Secretary oi State Stimson so informed the Canadian Press today. Mr. Stimson added that United States ilewsparlrs in com- menting on Mr. Masscya visit to the state department yesterday indicated that Canada's note was a truculerit one.

The reverse is the case, Mr. Stim- son said. Mr. Masseys note is rees- onable/and conciliatory, said the se- cretary and the reply oi the United States can be framed immediately~ The incident has been treated by the United States newspapers with such bitterness ti... the United States government is perturbed about it. The usual restraint with which the large he , pers in this country treat an exchange of diplomatic correspond- ence has been flung to the winds and the sinking oi the Canadian schoon- er has been made the occasion of a concerted attack of prohibition en- forcement.

Telephone Act UnderHot Fire

Bill Withdrawn A From Committee After Much Discussion — Budget Speeches of Mr. John Mustard, Hon. Dr. Grant» and Dr. A. A.

Dr. W. J. P. Maclvflllan introduced

A bill was presented embodying its provisions and read a. first time.

An act to incorporate the Tlhe Valley Presbyterian Church was rend a third time.

The Hcuse then resolved itself into a committee of the whole to take in- to further consideration an not to provide for a plebiscite on questions relating to the control and suppres- sion of the trafllo in alcoholic liquors.

There was some discussion over form ll of the annexed schedule W the act. ‘This form provides for the taking of an oath by an agent acting on behalf oi those interested in ob-

of the questions on the ballot. ilaper. The act however, was dilly agreed to.

An act to amend the Road Act. was next given second reading, and considered by the House in Commit- tee of the whole.

Hon. J. D. Stewart took exception to a certain schedule "A" being al- lowed to stand in the bill.

Accordingly, the Minister of Public Works moved that the section be fli- lowcd to stand over and progress rc- ported.

TELEPHONE C0. ACT

The l-louse next went into com- mittee of the whole to take into con- sideration an act to incorporate i110 Island Telephone Company, Ltd.

The Premier in introducing the bill, said that. the old lslailri Tele- phone Company had been incorpor- nted in 1885. After seine years a cable was laid between Wood ls- lauds and Pictou. Then another cable was laid across the Capes. In 1917 the Prince Edwardlsland Coniiiflily was taken over by the Eastern Tele- phone snd Telegraph Company. The reason for this was that the Island Company thereby obtained better connections with outside points. It now, however, appeared that, for the like of convenience in dealings be- tween cliernts and the company. it would be better to have it, re-lncor- poreted as an Island Company.

The powers sought are much the some ls under the old act of incor- poration. and the franchise asked for is ten years.

Before the act can go into effect. there will have to be c. deed of con- veyance oi’ the lands of the Eastern Telephone Company bee): to the Prince Edward Island Tbiephone Co.
