LETIERS TO THE EDITOR.

Examination Papers.

Sir,—In your issue of the 24th inst., there appeared an article entitled ‘‘Exam- ination Pepers.”. The writer most severely criticised the papers given to candidates for third class teacher’s licenses. He says that the English paper consists of a difficult passege which no two have the same meihod of analyzing or parsing. It would satisfy one’s curiosity to know what kind

of a passage *‘Common Sense” (?) would like to have. Perhaps such a_ classical

poem as ‘‘Mary had a jittle Lamb,” etc., or such sentences as; ‘*This is a fat cat.” “She has a long tail.” ete., etc. Surely all would agree as to their ‘‘correct method of analyeis.” I should like to know what difference it mekes whether or not all agree in analyzing a passage as long as its mean- ing is fully brought out. I am also at a loss to understand when this additional paper of ‘‘conundrums or puzzles” was given to canoidates. 1 understand that lust year there were only four papers, but according to *‘Common Sense,” another must have been lately added

The next subject of his remarks is the history paper. There may be a certain amount of knowledge gained by studying the important facts of history, but facts without dates are almost worthiess ; for

‘instance, a student might be asked in what

year the battle of Waterloo was fought,

‘and, without knowing the chronological | \order of events, he might say that it was vention this year will be a repetition of |fought in some antedeluvian period, or in| those of 1876 and 1880, and that neither of

the times of the Czesars. I trust that when “Common Sense’ presents himself for

bitious design—he will have a fair knowl-

such a comprehensible manner that it would not beffle the genius of ‘‘McAulay

Ove Power or Hume” to unravel the mysteries of his | nomination.

profound imagination.

The next paper, which meets his critical eye, is the geography. When I studied geography, I failed to discover any poly- sylabic towns in the Dominion of Canada. He must have been dreaming of the seat- tered wigwams of the Indians on the far western prairies, and the icy huts of the Esquimaux on the frozen plains of the northern regions, or his geography has deceived him. His literary calibre, at this juncture having become very contracted, he thought to overcome the difficulty by reference to mill ponds and blueberry swamps. This vivid thought amounts to nothing; for any person who has real com- mon sense can easily see by reference to the annual report of the Superintendant of Education that the questions on Canada are few and the most important.

And finally he concludes by (as he imagines a triumphant attack on the Arithmetic paper) concermng which, he says, that not one ques- tion is taken from the prescribed text-book; and, therefore, the student’s knowledge from that source is not utilized. I suppose it would be a fair test to select questions from « book which he has been memorizing since the days of his childhood.

In conclusion, I may say that the only fault I find with papers is, that they” are not diffi- cult enough to keep numbers of unqualified youths from crowding the narrow halls of the Prince of Wales Coilege and Normal School. OBSERVER.

“Common Sense” Wanted.

Srr,—Please allow me to ca] attention to the letter signed *‘Common Sense” (of which the writer does not seem to possess an extraordinary supply) which appeared in the Jast issue of your valuable paper. Tho writer intimates that he has been examining the papers prepared by the Board of Examivers, whom he designates the “Board of Examinations for candidates for third

class licenses.” He complains that he could not understand some of these questions, which is not strange, since

he shows himself ignorant of the meaning of the simplest words, as well as of the common rules of English Grammar. It is scarcely necessary for me to point out any of those errors, as they must be apparent to every intelligent reader. However, 1 may refer to one or two, The first paragraph concerning the English paper, it would

certainly ‘‘baffle the ingenuity of McAulay or Hume” to understand and if *‘Common sense” were asked to

parse ‘‘put” where he uses it, he would, perhaps, find it a ‘‘;uzzle or conundrum.” No doubt, be is prepared to explain how * agrees with * questious” in the next paragraph. All through his letter are mistakes of this sort and although your correspondent styles him- self merely an examiner of the questions, It 1s quite } robable that he has been himself a can- didate for liverse; but through the incapacity of the examiners failed te obtain the necessary number of marks, Again, he complairs that the questions in Arithmetic are not those that

allow the matter to drop! Anyhow, we in the country think that the Government or Foard of Education should deal with the mat- ter.and call upon our worthy Prok esor to pass an examination before a competent Board of Examiners. Something should be done to vindicate the reputation of the Province, or else outsiders will believe that we are the snost gullible people on the face of the globe.

We trust that the Government or Board of Education will take the matter into con- eideration, und place our College on a footing second to none of its kind in the Dominicn.

Is it not surprising that our anutherities have, heretofore, delighted in foisting in- ferior men, from other places, into positions of emolament and honor, over Is'anders who are more capable and better qualified, in every way, to discharge the duties de- volving upon them.

In conclusion, Mr. Editor, I may say that Ihave no personal ill-feeling towards Professor Anderson; but, as a taxpayer, I feel an interest in our public institutions, and think that the tree evidently needs pruning, and hope, ere long, to see the knife applied.

Yours truly, SYLVESTER. Greenwich, New London, April 30, 1884.

Presidential Pointers.

(Montreal Gazette. )

It begins to leok as if the Republican con.

|

‘the prominent candidates will secure the prize. Mr. Arthur, in his own state, New

‘examination in August—if this be his am- York, was able to do no better than disap- ‘point the Blaine men by securing the elec- ‘edge of dates, and answer the questions in! tion of four straight-out Edmunds support-

vers as delegates-at-large, a practical defeat | for the president that is apt to lose him the One hope, and one only, he iyet has—that of being able to effect ‘a coalition with the Edmunds forces at Chicago, and as the Vermont senator is an avowed friend and admirer of Mr. Arthur, as he would prefer the chief jus- ticeship uf the Supreme Court to the presi- dency, there is just a chance of such a com- bination being made. Failing it, all that seems certain is that neither Mr. Blaine nor Mr. Arthur can get the nomination. Their strength will be about evenly divided in the convention, and one will kill off the other. The dark horse thus again becomes the likely winner, and of the less prominent candidates, Senator Edmunds and Mr. Lincoln appear to possecs the chief elements of strength. General Logan will receive a complimentary vote ou the first bal'ot from Illinois, just as Senator Sherman will be sup- ported bya dozen or more votes froww his state, Ohio, in recognition of his ability and party services. But neither of these gcntlemen is at all likely to develop strength after the first ballot, and their following will go over to stronger men. Senator Edmunds’ strength unqnestional!y lics in the convic- tion that, of all the aspirants, he is the most apt to carry the eleciion, becauce of his acceptability to the entire independeut vote of the parity. He would take as large a vote in the safe Republican States as any other candidate, and in New York, upon the vote of which the elec- tion will hinge, would unite all sec- tions. The division in the party ranks at Utica on Wednesday indicates very clearly that if either Mr. Blaine or Mr, Arthur secure | the nomination he would enter the contest in the pivotal state badly handi- capped by the resurrected antipathies of the stalwarts and half-breeds, and by the latent hostility of the independent vote. So serious, in fact, would this drawback be, that the defeat of the party from the outset of the campaign would be a foregone con- clusion. Mr. Edmunds labors under none of these disadvanteges. He could be honor- ably accepted by both wings in New York and would arcuse the enthusiastic support of the independent classes. Mr. Lincoln, in a somewhat less degree, would ; ossess the same elements of streigth. The situation of the moment favors neither of the candidates who engage the chief attention of the p liticians and the press, but points directly to the nomination of aneutral man, of high character aud established reputation.

Great Loss of Life at Havana.

There were two explosions in Havana on the 29th April. The first occurred im the

The force of the explosions tock the direction of the yas works, and all the gas holders of the Havana Gas Light Company, and all but one of the old gas company, were broken. The second shock, which was heavier than the first, caused the explosion of gas, It is impossible yet to say how mary persons
