P. W. C. BENEAIIIITIONS

Attention is called by Mr. Clyde Auid, a distinguished nwnrber of the Prince of \’V."ilcs College Al- umni Association now residing in Toronto, to the importance of the efforts of Dr. George H. Lockqt ohelnnan of the Library Commis- lion for Canada of the Carneglr Corporation, in interesting the Cor- DOIHtlon in the educational. require-

ments of this Province, and also to

the value of _the contribution by Mr. W.H.P. Jarvis, of Canton. 0n- Dario, of the original charter of the Central Academy which was for- warded to Mr. C.I~I.B. Longwvorth, of the P.W.C. Alumni Association, and was received on the day of the fcrfnal opening of the new College building.

0n more than one occasion The Guardian has mfcrrcd to Dr. Locke's generous ctr-operation with 511B Dellartmcnt of Education and the Alumni Asscciatloxi, and to the l-mportanco cl’ his visit hare last: July, particularly in with the vita l2): the Carnegie Foundation o: $1,500 for Pi-znce of Wales College and $600 for St. Dunsbarfs University for under- graduate ibrary purpmes. In a lengthy interview’ in The (iuarcllan on the occasion of his visit In July, Dr. Locke intimated that other grants might be obtain- od, and his suggestions in Ghisand in other respects were of great assistance to all concerned. The subsequent transac- jtons were conducted through Dr. I-P. Keppel, president of the Car- liegic Corporation, and Dr, G.R. lomer, Librarian of lwc-Glll Univer- liiy; but Dr. Ilockes initial assist- ance will always be romnmbemd

pith gratitude, as was stated by Dr. the I-Ion. W. J. P. Macmillan, i»! the opening ceremony of the Col- hgc on Feb. l7. It ls unfortunate ‘Kilt Mr. Auld should have gath- fired. l. contrary impression from Ira press reports of the opening .prooeedings. These reports in some cases were summarized and may not», have conveyed the hill purport of tho chairman's In fly ease, we welcome this oppor- tunity of repeating the thanks ex- tended.

It was The Guardian's intention to refer at greater length to Mr. Jarvis’ presentation to the Alumni Association of the historic docu- ment referred to by M'i'. Auld. Def- inite decision as to the zlisposition C! the document will be made by the Association within a few days. 1!, has been suggested that it be framed and hung in the ntw Col- IQQ building, and this would seem to be its appropriate setting. As indicated by the Minister of F11- mation at the College opening, the document is the original char- ter granted to the Central Acad- emy, stfrsequcntly known as the Prince of ivalcs Colic-go. It is dat- ed May l8, 1834, is inscribed on

Years. This Ls quite un‘ tandslblc. as it was while the Hon. Edward James Jarvis was Chief Justioc of Prince Edward Island that the Central Academy was inaugurated.

Chief Justice Jarvis was born in St. John, N. B., in 1788. He stud- ied. law in England, and. in i816 was called to the Bar of New Brunswick. In 1822 he was appoint- cd sludge o! the Supreme Court of New Brunswick, but the appoint- ment was not confirmed, and he obtained instead, first an eippoint- ment as a Judge in Malta, and then, in 1827, an appointment as chief Justice oi’ Prince Edward Isl- and. This position he held with distinction until his death at Charlottetown on May 9, 1852. The family has surviving descendenis in this Province as well as in Can- ton, Ontario, where Mr. W.I-I.P. Jarvis resides. As stated edi- torially and at the College opening proceedings, Mr. Jarvis’ gift: oi.’ the original charter has been re- ceived with much appreciation, and every effort will be taken to pre- serve it for posterity.

CREDIT WHERE DUE

The careful nguner in which the federal unemployment rellof funds have bem administered by the Government of Prince Edward Is- land was specially commented upon by the Hon. W. A. Gordon, Min- ister of Labour, in the course 0f his remarks on Unemployment and Farm Relief in the House 'oi' Com- molls on Fub. 24. Mr. Gordvflb statement on this point,.whioh we quote from the verbatim I-iansard report, is well worth considerins

as the Stewart Government is the only administration thus singled out for special commendation; “First," said Mr. Gordon, “let, me refer to the province of Prince Edward Island, which we all know. Ls very small, with a. population of Oilly about 90,000 people, Relief has been carefully administered by the government of that province. I note that total federal disbursl- merits tmlvarda direct relief in Prince Edward Island, up to tilt? fourteenth instant have amounted w secures. This flzvre. hvwevfl» does not represent the total cost. inasmuch as accounts in many instances do not reach the 06PM" ment for several months after tho contractions for or payment of the sum. In all figures which I shall give concerning direct, relief, thlfi iiut must b, borne in mind: ac- curate figures will not be obtainable until possibly some time elm March a1, when the present lest-i- lation empires and thc statutory report is tabled. At that time It shall know what the expendihlll! for direct relief for the present fiscal years have been- M l mail-ii of fact, on the fifteenth of thil month 1 signed recormendntiom to council for the payment of lomo aocounts_for direct relief for 201M of the municipalities o! the pm- vince of Quebec, and, ml? 1 "PM" that, those liabilities were incurred lindCr the mo lesiaiatlen. It would appear that the people at m“ point were not pressed for money. The federal government contribut- ed, furtherj in the province 01 Prince Edward Island to the cost of reconstnictlng the Falconwood Hospital which had been destroyed by fire. In this instance the do- mlnionla contribution amounted to $5,328.24, being fifty per cent of the total labour coat of 810550-49- That is, with the direct relief dis- bursements, the total disbursements in Prince Edward Island i0 "l8 fourteenth instant amounted to $14,630.10. As I have explained. SQmg accounts do not reach us until some months after the actual ex-

papcrs and was in the posaesrion Q the Jarvis family for milllY

pz-nditures have been made by the province or municipality. However,

by the members of the Legislature. v

NOTES BY TiiE WAY

The function of cvery Qppnflflofl fa to be critical, but not to delay or obstruct by the introduction of contentious theories thsthave very little constructive merit. In times of stress it is more than the duty of an opposition to contribute the best in tho way of constructive 51188 “ directly applicable to circumstances. There is a time for doctrine and c. time when doctrine should b0 kept within very strict bounds.

I. M. Forster. accomplished ii- hrary artist. observes that modem inventions are turning us from readers into listeners and lockers. and he wonders whither this ten- dency will lead. Mr. Forster re- gards the prospect of a bookless world as a. deplorable One, for books, he says. have an educational value which nothing yet invented! will supply. No one is educated who cannot concentrate, and it 15 easier to learn concentration through a. book than through a talk or a film, for an obvious rea- son. 3o he confesses that he has little faith in the educational fu- ture of broadcasting unalloyecl, and he trusts in the movies still less. They can indicate. but they cannot rub anything in, and in 24 hours all they leave behind is a. blur. ’

After all that has been said and written, says the Edmonton Jour- nal, about the causes of the de- pression, it is rather appalling to learn that they are to be explained to a. committee of the American senate by some two hundred and fifty persons who are supposed t0 speak with authority. There realiy| isn't much doubt as to what has ‘led to present, economic difficulties. The trouble is that the government and people of the United States have declined to face the facts that were well established long ago.

For many years the scope of Government ‘activity has been steadily extended. In spite of the policy announced by the Harding Administration to get the Govem- ment out of business, the Govern-i merit has managed somehow to get: further and further int/o the busi- ness fleld, very often to the detri- ment of private producers andldls- tributors. And this extension of public activity has been one of the important factors making for lar- ger budgets-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Citizens who have returned rc- cently from England, speak. saYs the London (Ontario) Free Press. with enthusiasm of the spirit, of the old land. The British people are facing the problems of the day with that some indomitable cour- age which aaw them through the war. They are cheerful and con- fident. They have no question as to the future. Business is improv- ing. industry is on the upgrade. England is again assuming the fi- nancial leadership of the world and is again obtainng her old com- mercial supremacy. We in Canada should be thankful that We have inherited British traditions, that we have built our bank; and finan- cial institutions on British stan- dards, that we have British ideals of law and order, justice and liber- ty, that we have the British sys- tem of parliamentary institutions, and that we live under the Union Jack and all it stands for. We have our problems, and they are not easy of solution, but we should be thankful today that we are Canadians.

Canadian public opinion will be solidly behind Mr. M. E. Nichols. president of the Canadian Press. in his protest against the admis- sion of objectionable alien papers into this Dominion. There’ is no doubt but that a considerable vol- ume of such newspapers does se- cure entry andenioys a consider- able circulation. Papers that. pan- der in the lowest, instincts in hu- manity. that batten on stories of vice and degeneration, and that wallow in dirty details of human depravity can be found on many paper stalls in many Canadian cities. They are not wanted here. ‘rhey are an offence to the average Canadian mentality, and they can do nothing but harm to those who are foolish enough to buy them. If they were barred from entry, no- body would auffer but their own publishers, and that is not the slightest concern of ours.

we have kept in close touch with the relief activities across the domin- ion by arranging with the provinc- es to estimate as closely as pos- sible at the and of each month the amount of relief which has been given during that month. Our 0X- perienoe has been that frequently these utimgtg are in 010883 0i the Ictual expenditurfl. Nevertheless they give an awrollmeie time

Perhaps you find your mind Wm. during far away into distant places, different circumstances," and you feel that your body also is away m that distant place.

In your dreams you sometimes not, the part of a hero and Just as often the part of a coward.

You have perhaps bclleveg “m; your mind and body are two differ. ent or distinct things.

As a matter of fact, your mind and your body are one, they are you, and they depend one upon the other for health. There isn't; any question but that your mind affects your body. You are frightened or anxious; your skin may become hog or cold, your heart beat faster, your stomach become upset, the bladder or the intestine notify you that they must be emptied immediately.

Thus your mind is controlling your body.

On the other hand you have an infection in the teeth or tonsils, the gall bladder may become inflamed, the liver sluggish, the intestine con- stipated, and the blood loaded with

as it bathes cvcry other part; o: your body.

What happens to your mind? You may become very forgetful; may become very irritable; may have a desire to sleep soundly all night and be willing to sleep a great part of the day. You have little desire to do any mental work, and no desire to do any physical

work. You are only too willing if a

traveller for instance, to do busi- ness over the telephone, when if you were at your best you'd make the personal call.

Thus you see that although you are not sick, are really able to go about your work, these little temp- orary defects in your body actually affect your mind, and make you behave in a different manner than when you are free of them.

The thought then is that real health means health of body and health of mind; that is we are then our best selves.

‘morning may make a coward of one

who might otherwise be a hero."

Senator P0pe’s ' ' Scheme

(Sydney Post-Record)

The suggested solution of cane.- deJS railway problem submitted to the Senate by Hon, Rufus Pope contains at least one feature which should be popular in the Maritime Provinces. It is the pro- posal that the Intercolonial Rail- way bc restored to the status it occupied prior to amalgamation with the Canadian National Rail- ways. and be administered directly by the Government as a Maritime transportation system.

'I‘hcre may or may not be merits in Senator Pope's proposed plan of transferring the Canadian National lines between Montreal and Van- couver to the alleged group of res- ponsible financiers who, he says. are prepared to take over that part of the system and operate it on business principles. But it is very doubtful whether public opinion’, as presently represented in Parlia- ment. could be induced to approve of any such scheme. At any rate the plan is too sketchy, not to say too nebulous, to warrant an intel- ligent llldsment as to whether or not it offers a solution for Cana- da's difficult transportation prob- iem.

Showing The Way

"The dried fish market is showing the way to better things 1n world economy. It is now possible to say that so far ns the dried fish trade is concerned the worst is over and the improvement has gone .50 far that Lunenburg vessel owners can take heart again. There will not be the reduction in deep see. opera- tions this year that ivas expected. World consumption has now caught up with world supply and as a. w-sequcncc prices are im- proving. This is news of tho very first importance to the psoplg of

the Maritlmcs, for it moans that we are on the threshold of more prosperous times in one of our

great basic industries. ’I‘he 511,119,. tlon seems to be developing much as we have seen it develop in pre- vious depressions and we believe that we shah now once more see better times in this industry at least. As the fish trade usually leads th: upward movement}... us we may inpe to later see our other

_ basic industries fall into line."

. P. W. C. BENEFACTIONS

sin-As a. loyal son of Prince or wales College I reiolee in her new birth out of the ashes of calamity and in the promise of a futures even wider in useful service to the prov- ince than the past. But I regret to note that in the celebrations which attended the Funnel Open- lug, and in the chorus of congratu- latlons raised. it was apparently found unnecessary to refer to the very distinguished services of Doc- tor Geo. H. Locke. who, from the earliest stages of the negotiations with the Carnegie Foundation gave invaluable assistance and direction. who personally went over the plans of the building with the architects and supplied advice out of an ex- pericnce that is uprivalled in Can- ada, and who last summer made a special visit t0 Prince Edward Is- land to see and confer with the. Minister of Education and the Alumni Association. No man in Canada. is so conversant with lib- rary conditions or so ready gener- ously to co-operate in educational uplift. To make no acknowledge- ment of his indispensable and (as to the extent of which the files of the Minister of Education and of the President of the Alumni As- sociatlon will bear witness) is not only ungenerous, but extremely short sighted policy. Another oversight needs to be noted. Mr. W. H. P. Jarvis of Can- ton, Ontario, at my suggestion, sent to the Alumni Association for presentation to the Province an historical document of great value, the original charter of the Central Academy. I venture to suggest that it would have been only common courtesy to the donor for both of the Charlottetown newspapers to have taken the trouble to find out who Mr. Jarvis is, and the connec- ‘Jon of his family with Island his- tory, and that the generous donor receive more adequate reference than ‘a member of the Jarvis fam- ily’ or ‘a Mr. Jarvis’, or have init- ials and addresswrongly attributed. Nor would it have been amiss, in both the matters I mention, for Province and College in some way- to have said. “Thank you, gentle- men." . I am, Sir, etc.. CLYDE AULD. Toronto. Ont.

SMALL POTATOES

Sin-The letter of Mr. D. J. Mc- Cormack of Boston, in the Patriot of February the 21st, on the potti- to question opens up a subject 01 direct importance to every tamer on Prince Edward Island, and of indirect importance to every other person in the Province. Perhaps it would help in the understanding and solution of this question if we got as many facts as we could in connection with it.

Many persons will, doubtless re- member that about a year ago the newspapers canted the news that Mr. J. LeRoy Dyal and others who had been handling potatoes in the States for the Potato Growers As- sociation, had been convicted by the Courts, or the Customs Auth- orities, in New York, of taking P. E. I. potatoes out of P. E. I. bags, putting very inferior potatoes in the some bags and selling these in- ferior potatoes as P. E. I. stock. Many persons will also remeanber that Mr. Boulter, Manager of the Potato Growers Association, and Deputy Minister of Agriculture, commenting on the matter, stated in the gees that such practises did not hurt the reputation of our potatoes or injure the market for them.

The Deputy Minister's remarks not having been dtsuvowed by the responsible Minister of Agriculture or the Government, would likely take the remarks as the considered opinion of the Gov- ernment, and if so, would be Justi- fied in acting accordingly. They (the farmersymight very well con- elude that if such practises did not hurt the reputation of our potatoes or injure the market for them when done in New York, similar ‘practises could not do much harm when carried out on Prince Edward Isi- and. No doubt such conduct is very iupi hensiblo and works s great deal ‘or mini-y m the trade, but as I ace it, the blame should be put on the proper shoulders.

The Patriot suiisests that this question should be discussed by the fannerforlanizationa when they meet in Charlottetown in March. I heartily concur in that suggestion. Mr. MoNeely, Mbnnger of the Associated Shippers, lilflests that om way to cure the evil would be to have every grower of potatoes
