‘hail during 1909 atotal of 479 dis-

itrict schools in the Province, an in- crease of 3 over the previous year. l'l`he nituiher of teachers employed

iwas 595, an increase of 15. Of these ,te-iii~liers 200 were niale, and 395 `feniale, showing a decrease of tive in 'thc former and an increase of 20 in

,the latter. The number of pupils en- irollcd was 18,073, a fractional in- lcrease of til, but with a decrease oi 5104 in the average attendance. This

lon the whole indicates a stationary it-ondition, not unmixed with indica- ttions af retrogression.

it Still the' total expenditure for edit- .ration iii this Province has been 'large, amounting to $183,205. Of this lthe Government contributed $129,179 land the school districts $54,026- a lmost unequal distribution of the bur- iden, and one in which our Province

‘stands alone. The a.moiint expended 'for each pupil in` attendance was $14,- 178, ol which the Government paid ,$10.10 and the school boards $4.68. l'l`here is, however an improvement in 'the supplements voted at school meetings, which last year totalle

TROUBLE THREATENED

on Morrrnnai. Dock.

MONTREAL, Feb. 20-The shipping

companies are threatened with trouble among .the longshorenien. They claim that the demac.d for t-he

abolition of the bonus system is miide by a few men only and that it

‘is not serious. Noiv the dema-nd is that a poll tax be put on all long-' shoremen who come (ram outside the city. This would mean that 75 per cent. of the men -would have to pay the tax as they are mostlv men who work in the shanties in 'the winter

shipping men claim the number who come from St. John and Halifax for the summer, which used tc. he large enoug-li, has dropped to almost noth- ing and that the Portland immigra- tion is altogether stopped.

THE NEED OF EXTEN

Probably no Province in Canada

is more in need of road reform tbaq our own. The fault was in laying out the roads at the beginning. -They were made to follow the township lines, almost entirely- regardless of grades. In consequence our people have gone on for a hundred years climbing hills, which might have

' been in many cases avoided without

even increasing the length of the

_ road. In not a few cases a leveliroad

could have been made around the

_ base of a hill quite as short. as the

present road over its summit and on which three.times_ the load could be drawn by a team.

It has been at enormous cost of

power and loss of time that ’ our

generations dragging heavy loads over hills that. might be avoided. Even in light driving the loss of

and down hill, and the horse walk- ing the up-grades fully tivo thirds of the time of a journey is taken up with the iip-hill climb.

The remedy is ,not so easy as

might be hoped. Farm houses and buildings have been erected along the existing roads and it would in many cases greatly disturb the convenience ol the owners to have the roads re- moved or diverted from present

' routes. Still there_ are very many cases where great improvements might be made in road location without serious detriment to vested rights. A comprehensive survey of the Provincial road systen with a view to improved location would be well worth while. ‘

Whether Canada can or cannot af-

ford to payithe price ol a brace of Dreadnoughts, Argentina has the necessary courage to do so. The southern republic has, according to the New York Herald, just now made contracts for building two of the fargest, fastest and most heavily armed Dreadnouglits yet laid down.

The Liberal budget, which the

Lords rejected before the election, they are no\v._ready to pass. But be- fore it can go to the Lords it must now pass through the H0use` of Commons again, and unless the Irish members will vote for lt, it cannot pass. And the Irish members, who abstained from voting when the bud- get was last before them, seem to have no better opinion of it now. They want the Lords' veto power destroyed, and they want home jrule for Ireland, bitt not more taxes on whiskey.
