I have been at the head of the Prince of Wales College since I had been previously connected with the College.

We intended to confine ourselves to col. legiate work, but could not as we could not get the boys prepared for us. We tried to establish an entrance examination but could not succeed in doing so. We had linally tu take boys as they came.

We found we had to begin at the begin- ning to make sure of the instruction im- parted. This elementary work does not

interfere with what we read in higher branches. 1 am not satisfied with this system.

There was formerly a Grammar School nominally under the control of the Princi- pal of the College, but the Principal of the College bad not time to attend to it. It disappeared.

To some extent we do Grammar School work as preparatory for college.

We want more assistance. We want another assistant, unless provision is made outside for Grammar School work. This Grammar School work acts as a drag on the teachers of the College.

Many of those (the pupils) from the country come very unequally prepared— being well up in some subjects and not in others, Some scholars supplied by some of our old pupils have been well trained. This is because their teachers were well trained.

From most other schools the pupils are not wellup.

We now get some from the District Schools, but have to do preparatory work with them. They ere unequally prepared. They can generally do Grammar aud a little English.

We have entered sixty-seven scholars already this term since Easter. We entered about seventy-eight or eighty between Christmas and Easter.

L do not want another Grammar School unless the College can really be made College. i want another Assistant in the College to take the lower classes and also to assist in the higher classes.

We have all denominations at the College. We give no religious instruction, ‘The College is and always has been opened with an extempore prayer. No form 1s laid down by the Board of Trustees.

We have no lack of scholars—we have rather too many. ‘here are two teachors. I take the more advanced classes.

Pupils, six in number, who have Scholars ships are ndmitted free. They do not come up to requirements—latterly they have improved. The Scholarships are given every second year,

The Graminar Seboo! teachers I turn out generally leave the Island because they do not get paid. We educate the boys now and lose them,

The reason that the College is not really a College is that the schools in the country cannot keep up a College. We have to do ‘ommon School work. We want feeders. The poor condition of the country schools ls the great obstacle we have to contend with. With another man in the College we could do much better.

We ask our readers to “ think it over.” They might mentally contrast it with the scheme explained by Professor Anderson. This scheme, it is said, works admirably in Scotland.

HOW THEY SPEND THE MONEY.

As the Halifax ‘‘ Reporter’’ remarks, ‘‘many persons were under the impres- sion that the grand fancy ball given in Ottawa last winter was given by the Gov- ernor General himself.’ It is now, how- ever, reported the Economical Reform(?) Government with which the Dominion is now blessed ordered the “ grand affair "’ and that the country has borne the ex- pense—some twenty-eight thousand ($28- 000] dollars. Well may our contempor. ary the ‘“ Watchman,” exclaim:

«“ Twenty-eight thousand dollars for the grand fancy folly,whiie the shivering under- paid laborers on the Intercolonial Railway, who contribute of their means to the ad- ditional taxation, were having their mis- erable pittances reduced by the mighty Mr. Brydges and his servitors ; $28,000 for this fancy bail when the farmers of the Maritime Provinces are driven from railways built by their own money, because forsooth the former tariff did not bring in money enough ; when the merchants of the country were struggling desperately to obtain money enough to pay Government duties; when the factories were shulling up or turn- ing away new hands for want of work, when thousands of persons knew not where to obtain their next meal. $28,000 for fancy dress balis! Not one cent nor one line of legislation in aid ofthe starving industries of the Dominion.”!

OUR STREETS.

Tu enterprise and activity lately dis- played by our City Fathers encourage us to hope that they will lose no time in having the names of our streets neatly painted on small boards of wood or sheets of tin to be hung or nailed up at our street cor- ners for the information and guidance of strangers. Should they require~know- ledge respecting such petty details as cost of material, ete., they only have to apply to the authorities of almost any town in the civilized world. At present the in- genuity of our efficient and obliging po- licemen must often be put to the test to direct the inquiring stranger without

COMMUNICATION WITH THE MAINLAND,

We assume the delay in issuing “ sum- mer arrangements’’ for the _ Princess of Wales and St. Lawrence is owing to the desire of the Steam Navigation Com- pany to maintain their popularity by making the best possible connections with the trains on the mainland. Now that the great Mr. Brydges has appeared upon the scene, we presume that any difficulty which may have existed will disappear, and that those who have complained of “delay at Pictou” will complain no more.

The Chancellor of the Exchequdr replied that the Canadian representatives in England assented to the bill ; and it was undesirable that a distinc- tion should be made between Canadian and British flags. Canadian shipping, he said, would be subjected to no inconvenience. An attempt would be made to adopt a Canadian law, having the same regulations in ports of departure.

Mr. Huestis, of P. E. Island, whose snow-plough we referred to so recently, has since wrought out three other inven« tions. He has constructed a bell.buoy, a self-acting car shackle, and a horse power manure fork. The be!l-buoy is so con, structed as to suit calm or stormy weather. In calm weather the current would cause the bell to ring, and in stormy the action of the buoy would make it ring. The self acting car shackle would be of great utility if found to be workable.
