DEBA'I'ES AND PROCEEDINGS 01' run LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

( Continued.)

llon. Mr. Loan: This is an import- ant subject. and l have no doubt but every member of this House will ax- press the same opinion as his honor who has just sat down. We know that many oi the tenants have great hardship in paying their rent, and many are disc satisfied, while their neighbors are free- holdcrs. But after the answer we have received from the Colonial Office, I do not know that we shall be able to drive or coax Her Majesty's Ministers to pass abill to compel the proprietors to sell their estates. However. there is nothing like perseverance—nothing like urging the question—and I am glad to see that we have an addition to our ranks. I have always advocated the settlement of this question. and I hope that with the assistance of those gentlemen, we will succeed in obtaining the object we all have in view. ilis honor who has just spoken said that a number of his support- ers had only 10 year leases. I was not aware of that, for I thought all the tenants. except those on the McDonald Estate, had 999 your losses. A case of that kind is a very great hardship, for by the timeatneu gets his farm clear and in such a condition that he can live upon it, he is deprived ofit. Those par- ties should be relieved if there was any possibility of doing anything for them. lkuow such cases myself. I know one man who pays £15 61. 8d. a your rent ; he has raised a large family and put up fine buildings, but his lease is nearly ox- pired. and his landlord has told him that he will not allow him to remain on the farm. As to lands leased at a shilling an acre, I believe it is just us well to pay the rent as to make them free under the terms of the F ifteeu Year's Purchase llill. I do not know whether his honor who has just spoken supported that bill, but I am of opinion that it did more in- jury than any other measure that. has been passed to settle this question. be- cause it fixed a positive price for the land. Ilis honor has well said that the

re in r assoc rumpus; Ir-hhvidtd.‘li'§uot bmxpcclcd to em their lands for less now. lion-ever. that

bill might be a benefit to a few of the

, tenants, if the Government wasprcpnrcd

to advance one-half. er two-thirds of the purchase money.

Ilon tho I’nsmnur: liis honor who spoke last says the Fftccn Years’ Pur- chase Bill is an injury; then I ask why does not the Government of which he is a member repeal it? If it was an in- jury surely the sooucr it is repealed the better. Before they find so much fault with that bill they should introduce and carry some measure which would be of more benefit. But it is doubtful to me if the party now in power will be able to early 11 better measure in four years. I ltan many of the tenants have been relieved of a large amount of arrears of rent, some of them as much 119 £10, by that Bill. Some will say “ 0, it could not be recovered ;” but I know that in ,most instances it could be recovered. And can it be supposed that a man about to purchase the leasehold of one of those farms with a large amount of arrears of rent would give as much for it as he would if there was none. No. he would not. Surely then the Bill must be some benefit! I know many of the tenants on Miss Sullivan’s Estate are prepared to purchase under that Bill. They are onl waitiuglo see if any better terms will be offered. but they do not intend to let the ten years expire without pur- chasing.

House resumed and further progress reported.

A Bill was brought up from the House of Assembly by the lion. Attorney General to consolidate and amend the several Lan relating to Education—- Read a first time. and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow.

Adjourned till to-morrow at ten o’clock.

SUMMERSIDI’. BILL.

lion. Mr biennium, on rising to move for the second reading of a Bill. to continue and amend certain Acts therein mentioned relating to Summerside, said, the object of the Bill was merely to con- tinua certain Acts relating to Summer- sids which would expire at the end of the present Session. There were two or .hrce slight amendments the most im- portant of which was that the inhabi- tants of that town would be allowed to assess themselves to the amount of £150 for local improvements, instead of £50 as by the old Act. The Act to prevent the running st'lsrgs of swine in Surn- morsidc was also continued by uncut.

The Bill was than read a second time, referred to a committee of the whole House, reported agreed to. read a third time and passed.

BIBLE CHRISTIAN CHURCH BILL.

A bill to amend and explain the Act passed in the second year of Ilia Ile- jcst King William the Fourth. relating tot o co cbration of marriages, so far as it relates to the Bible Christian Church, was then read a second time.

Hon. Mr. Benn. on rising to move that the said biiibe referred to a com- mittee of the whole IIouse, observed that a petition had been received from the members of that denomination praying that they might be placed upon the same footiugasother christian sects with re- gard to the celebration of the marriage ceremony. Ha (Mr. Beer) was not aware till lately that they were not upon the sums footing,but it appeared that there was no doubt among themselves inasmuch as there was no mention made of their denomination in the Act passed in 1832. relating to the celebration of marriages in this Island. He believed that e‘. the time that Act was passed the Bible Christian denomination had no organi- sation on the Island. and there was now a doubt among themselves, as to whether the meninges performed by their minis- ters were legal. The Attorney Gena- ral, he believed. was of opinion that as the licenses were granted by his Excel- lency the marriages were legal, but the bill. which would have a retrospective, as well as 11 prospective effect. would re- move any doubts which existed about that matter.

The bill was then referred to a com- mittee of the whole House. reported agreed to without any amendment, read a third time and passed.

EDUCATION BILL.

IIon. Mr. MCDONALD, on rising to move for the second reading of a bill to consolidate and amend the several laws relating to Education, said: I presume your honors are pretty well acquainted with the contents of this bill, and there- fore it is unnecessary for me to give any lengthy explanation of its details. The salaries allowed to teachers will be the same asunder tho Lowe now in force. There is some diflercnce with respect to the Board of Education. There are two members to be added to it whose duty will be to examine all candidates for tenchcrs' certificates. It is found that as the Board is constituted some of the members do not take a great deal of interest in those examinations, or they do not attend, or perhaps they are not in the habit of examining those parties as that as they require to be exam. ined; an therefore it has been thought advisable to make provision for the up. poiulmcnt of two individuals for that special purpose. Of course the other members of the Board will give their decision on the mcrits or qualifications of those candidates. Those two exam— iners will receive a salary of £20 each. £9 were formerly allowed to members of the Board ; but as those two Will have to attend all the meetings of that Body. that sum is considered as little as could be given to them. There is also a pro- vision in the Bill to enable a person who is sufficiently qualified to receive a cerv- tificate to teach without attending five months in the Normal School. Your boners are aware that under the present law, it Is no matter how efficient a person may be, he has to spend five months at the Normal School before he can get a certificate to teach. There is likewise a provision in the Bill to enable the Board of Education to settle a variety of dis- putes, so that Trustees and others will not be under the necessity of applying so frequently to a Court of Law as they do at present. This, it is thought, will simplify the working of the Act a good deal. The various Acts are consolidated. so that, though this is still a lengthy bill. yet it will not contain much more than half the umouutof matter which is in the Acts now on our Statute Book. I look upon it that this bill, while it intro- duces some necessary amendments. is not, in some respects, such a bill as I could wish; still it is the bill which has met Ihe approval of the majorit of the members of the Legislature an as such it has my support.

The bill was then read a second time and referred to a committee of the whole [louse—lien. Mr. McDonald in the chair.

lion. Mr. Benn: I would like to see something in the bill to encourage those who embark in teaching school in their young days to continue in that occupation. New, school teaching is just made a stepping stone to something else. Young lads begin teaching perhaps when they are eighteen or nineteen years of ugh and just watch for something else by which they can obtain a better livelihood. If each teacher were provided with two or three acres of land and a comfortable cottage, it would encourage many of them to follow teaching as 11 per naueut occupation. In many parts of the United States that is done, and if there was a clause in the bill to enable wealthy settlements to do something of that kind, it would add to the respectability of those settlements and of the teachers likewise. If there was something in the bill to an- thorise the Government to grant a fixed sum, when a settlement had made up a certain amount for that purpose, I think it would have a good effect. If that were done, Inns of opinion that in a short time there would be a spirit of emulation among the people of the va- rious settlements, as to which would have the best residence for theirtcachcr.

IIou. Mr. Harmonize: i rather sym— thise with the views of his honor who I}. just spoken, with rotcrenco to induc-

ing teachers to adopt that profession with . to prevent it wealthy settlement now from 1

a greater do regret that I a state of our finances is not such as to warrant us in lug out his reposal. I think his honorzfalling bee upon the system which was in op- eration in England a quarter of a century ago; and also in Scotland, where a teach or was an almost indispensable person- age in a parish. But in this country the population is less stationary, and I have card it said. that a teacher is never so efficient as in his earlier years. though I cannot say whether it isthe case. There are more persons educated for teachers than are required for that profession, and that shows that the kind of education which would fit them for teachers would fit them for useful members of the com- munity in other occupations. I think that is a good feature in our educational system, that while so many are made competent to act as teachers, they are also fit to engage in other employment. Therefore. I do not think it is a matter of regret that they are not confined to one locality, and if they find employment in other business their places are soon filled by juniors. I would rather see something like a retiring allowance ro- vidcd for persons who have spentt sir lives in teaching. Perhaps a small per ccntago might be deducted from the sale- ries of active teachers to form a fund for that purpose. 1 just mention thissothat it may be considered whether it would not be well, at a future time, to mak some provision of that kind. 1
