SITUATION

Dayafter day the European ties patches are anxiously scanned for further iighton the troubled sit- uation that has so suddenly devo- luped there; day after day the dcspatches are conflicting and uncertain, We have been told the

Turks were feverishly mobollzing on the border and that the British were "digging in," massing squad- rons of nirmcn behind their lines ‘and calling in reinforcements from every available source. Coincident with these reports came the word that Fraucelhas sent a. pieuipo- tcntlary to Kemal Pasha urging him not to precipftnteaconfiict hi‘ advancing into the pgutral zone. What Komal will say to this while his soldiers are placing theiFguns has yet to be revealed. Meantime. ilfllid all the warlike preparations reassuring word come, some of thcm palpably interested, some no iioubt voicing a hope and all as- suring us that there is no danger of war.

That there is very grave danger cannot be questioned. Great Bri- the present in the. Durdsnelles

It is admitted that Francs not only formed an alli- riuce with Turkey but supplied them with guns and ammunition and all this without the consent and behind the backs of the Allies who came to her assistance and rescued her from annihilation by Germany. -Nor does France inter fore in tlniernationai mix-ups for nothing. Why did she enter inlo a secret alliance with her recent enemy?

The plain fact its that France has been dissatisfied with-prob- ably jealous oP-Britaln": advan tageous position tin the allied con frol of the Dardanelles. The Al- lied control was an agreement by the Allies in the war settlement. [France was a party to the agree- ment. but it has since become evi dent. that. Great Britsiin with her meat navy could. in the event of rvnr if she chose, close the Dar- danolles. This is undoubtedly the other-

The serious feature in the whole situation is the eatrangetnent be tween Great Britain and ‘France. an estrangoment which will tax the ingenuity of the bssi intention ed diplomats of Franc»; nnd ‘Eng lnnd t.o heal.

ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE

if. in the training and teaching of our boys and girls their atten- tions were directed occasionally to the beauties and the virtues to be found it looked for in the so called lower animal world there would be less of the thoughtless persecution that has practically destroyed the bird life and the little animal life in our fields and forcsis- We too often forget the almost human. sometimes than human, faithfulness. devo- tion and self sacrifice to be found among our humbler fellow crea- tures. Thoughtlessly a boy throws stones at a. bird and prides hint s0" on his marksmanship if its lilts his mark. ‘if he knew that a nest full. a home full, of little ones are waiting for the raturn of the mother that cannot come back. waiting as eagerly and as lnngingly as he himself would n‘wsit the return of his mother; ihst the little oncs suffer as keen ly as he would the pangs of hun- ger and the slow torture of death by starvation. he would think twtice Lbeforo throwing‘ a that would cause so much sorrow.

The Ameri- csn dollar can work its way sny~ where and demand s premium- cxcopt in Canada. its value varies sil the way from one hundred cents to seven million Russian roubles. Of sll the European ox- chsnge the pound sterling is about the nearest approach to tho nor- lnsl value of the doilsr.

The fact is that. Dr. Anderson the then prin- cipal of Prince of -Wa‘lee College alter trying for years, obtained "this boon for his students.

I know l- um correct as to Dr. Anderson's initiative. lit was not till the present princi- -pai took charge that the pass was ruined to 65 per cent and the change made in the values of subjects.

Since this privilege was gran- tetl the College, the number who went up for the Provincial teach- trs examinations, has continually fallen so that very fow take it nuvv and pass. _‘l'he reason for this given by many is that at the College half tho examinations are finished at Xmas while‘ at the Provincial, all rho.‘ subjects must be taken in the Spring. And so every sublet-l must ihe_kept fresh from beginning to end which docs not. apply to the College.

Sin-The many letters 511F951" m; in your Public Forum lately show that the people of this pro- vincc are taking an active inter- est in Prince of Wales College. and Normal School. This is to be commended. it shows that the poo pie are awake to the paramount need of education at the present duy.

Never was the realization 0f the need of education greater than it is today. To this nnd we find our universities and schools being filled to their utmost capacity. Even farmers have to ho trained and educated along their lines of work: For this purpose we have techniciti schools and enperlmen tal stations (scattered) broadcast throughout our land.

The stiggcstion, alone. of these institutions fifty years ag would have been regarded as ridiculous.

It is well that we should ask ourselves if tho‘ training and tcuchlltg cf our teachers ut Prince of \Vales College should remain the same now as it was half a century ago. The teaching profes sion aibnve‘ all others is an inl- portnnt. one. for it is the teach ers that mould and shape the des- tinies oil‘ the future citizens of Canada. “Educatinnalist" nnd others are quite right in advoca- ting more normal training for our

st-‘rlous mistake as any competent specialist in pedagogics will say that the least academic training any teacher should have is that of the iuli high-school course or its equivalent Although he may never the called upon to teach some of the sulbjects he has mas- tered. they supply s reserve force. give breadth of outlook and open up a comprehensive view of the whole matter o1‘ education of the child. Aibaolute 1nastery,of the academical subjects is fully es- sential; snd no schoolroonl device or superficial, tactics cant trait-c its place. Thus it is seen that‘. to lessen the academic training. is entirely out of the‘ question.

The only solution of the prob- lem is to increase the term at P. W.C.. A careful perusal of the re- port of the iCltief Supt. of Educa- tion will liberally repay anyone for the time they spend. Here he suggests the advlsalhlllty of length ening the course at P.W.C. for first class teachers to three years, second class to two years and third class to one year. Ills plan is an excellent our rind the sooner a scheme like this is put into operation. the better for every one concerned. But to do this we must pay our teachers more than at present. You will say. "How are we going to do this? We do not wish to pay more taxes."

Well. there is one thing that will help nnd that. is consolidation. There are too many amnll schools in this province that are not only a heavy expense to the province. but also arc u great hindrance to the pupils on account of the small ness of the classes. Any good teacher‘ will say thnv tfnilttol (It) good work in ~ sol-ml \v"h one or two in a claer. ‘
