Six,--It is somewhat strange that from time to time the readers of the newspapers in this Province—at least of some of them —have brought to their notice certain so- called imperfections in the methods of in- struction at the Prince of Wales College and Normal Schoo!—notably those of Principal ._ Anderzon.

So far as the ability of Principal Ander- son to conduct or manage this institution is concerned I think that there can be but

well-tried a public servant as Principal

Anderson. Have those anonymous scrib-,

blers forgotten the numbers of young men_

who have received their early training in the Prince of Wales College, and distin-| guished themselves at Dalhousie and Mc-' Gill Colleges, since Principal Anderson has | been in charge. It is but a few years ago, | that the Patriot newspaper, at almost every issue, regaled its readers with stertling paragraphs, under such significant headings | as ‘‘Another Islsnder Abroad,” &c. What} has happened of late that the Prince of Wales College is almost condemned as an institution of the past, by those snonymous | Writers ? But the chief aim appears to be | ‘at Mr. Anderson, and attempis are made to show that he is utterly unfit, in so far as scholarship is concerned, to be Principal of our highest educational institution. The term scholarship, as applied to Principal Anderson, must necessarily mean his knowledge of the branches, included in the curriculum the Prince of Wales College. Out of the compara- tively wide range of subjects included in this course, the principal objection—if objection it can be called—seems to be on ‘account of his lack of knowledge of the {principles of English compcsition. But |who is the judge? I am perfectly aware | that the anonymous writers, whose prodic- |tions appear in the newspapers anent the | Prince of Wales College and its manage- ‘ment, follow in the wake of Prof. (/) J. H. | Fletcher. I fancy that almost any reason- able’ person will admit that if Principal | Anderson’s scholarship is to be put to the | test, that it is rather Jate—to put it mild— _to begig now ; and further, that he- has every right to be either acquitted or con- demned by a jury of his peers. But in this case I imagine that the dictum of Mr. J. H. Fletcher is not sufficient to condemn Principal Anderson as lacking in his know- ledge of English compusition for obvious reasons,

It certainly says very little for those un- fortunate persons who have received their ' knowledge of English Grammar and Com- position under the tuition of Mr, Alexander Anderson, to affirm that he is so utterly and profoundly ignorant of those subjects. What a blissful state of ignorance those teachers must be enjoying who have been under his tuition! But what of those whom they teach? Can it be possible that our whole boasted free school system has been such a ‘‘ delusion and a snare?’ Are we only now wakening up to the stern reality? Verily, if we had had ‘* payment for results,” it would have been better.

These and such like questions as these may very well be asked by every taxpayer in the Province, if the statements of these anonymous scribes be correct. But what are the facts? One or two reasons appear to my mind to contradict the assertion that his knowledge of English Grammar and Composition is so shamefully defective. It is a fact that in the Matriculation Examina- tion of Dalhousie College, and also of McGill University, Grammar and Composition form a very prominent feature, yet the young men who have been trained under the tuition of Principal Anderson, have always taken an exceedingly high place, and in most instances have, I believe, headed the list. This is inexplicable, if we assume the statements of Mr. J. H. Fletcher to be correct. Any one, at all acquainted with the matter, who takes up a calendar of either of the above-mentioned Colleges, and looks at the requirements for matricu- lation, can hardly help seeing that these statements are utterly unworthy of the consideration of the well-thinking portion of the community.

It is not then on the plea of his inability to impart instruction, nor yet of bis scholarship being defective, that Principal Anderson—who so wisely treats those effusions with silent contempt—has re- ceived so much unmerited censure. We must look for some other cause since it is not fo be found in his capacity as a public official. It is rumored in private circles that a certain supposed change of views has caused the sudden flood of light to dawn on these worthies that we have had at the head of our highest Educational In- stitution so utterly incapable an individual as Mr. Alexander Andersor. It is a truly deplorable state of affairs that class legis- lation should be sought to be dragged even within the sacred precincts of the Prince of Wales College.

It is all very well for some one who is anxious to distinguish himself, or who has some private malice or grudge against a public official, to publish a squibin the newspapers which he fancies will accom- plish the malicious end in view. But what the public—I meen the taxpayers of the Province—are concerned to know is: Is

It is too late now to make in- needed improvement.

If our present. so much lauded free school system is to keep pace with the times, any one who gives the subject thought must admit that our highest educational institution must be maintained in its present state of efficiency.

JUSTITIA, Queen’s County, Sept. 30, 1884.

Not a Flattering Picture. MISS CHARLOTTE O'BRIEN S DESCRIPTION OF TENEMENT HOUSE LIFE IN NEW YORK.

Miss Charlette O’Brien writes in the Nineteenth Century for October on ‘*The Emigrant in America.” Her account of her experiences in New York, after having crossed the ocean in the guise of an ordin- ary emigrant in the steerage of a mail steamship, is vivid and interesting. She says the streets which the average emigrant finds in the lower part of New York, and by which alone he has an opportunity of judging of that city, are indescriably filthy. They are filled in the summer time with children whose scanty attire has no pre- terce of decency, and with careworn, drunken and siatternly wemen, the wothers of constantly increasnig broods, whose only heritage is misery. She de- nounces especially the overflowing refuse boxes which occupy balf of the narrow sidewalks and are rarely emptied. She in- stances especially the lower part of Wash- ington street, in which street alone, she says, hundreds of tons of animal and vegetable matter decay unremoved amid its teeming and seething population. How the peoiee escape typhus and typhoid fevers and cholera, if indeed they do escape them, is a mystery to her.

The internal arrangements «f{ the house

in which the emigrants are herded ate ces- cribed as being quite as horrible as the « ut- side filth. In summer the temperature in these compartments is such that sleep is impossible and life a constant bureen. The blazing heat in which the brick tenements are baked during the day ra‘iat«s at night, and compels the inmates to flee to the roofs or streets for air and relicf. In the winter the condition of the peor is even worse. They either suffer from in- tense cold or they bake as victims to the close coal demon which seems to be the Moloch of Americans from October to June. Miss O'Brien menticns the case of an Irish-American Physician, who had suc- cessfully practised for eightcen years in Brooklyn, but who told Mies O'Brien that he felt compelled to return to Ireland, because he found that he could not rear his children in the neighborhood of New York. In the opinien of Miss O'Brien this is the great evil—that the children of Irishmen and Englishmen going to America are bound to grow up diseased and depraved. It is, moreover, an evil that’s only partially remediable.

The British Government, she says, is now trying to send emigrants to those vile tenements, these dens of disease, poverty, and immorality, and it is time to let the English people know that such action is equivaient to the social murders which con- tinue, in light or darkness, to darken modern civilization. It is a new applica- tion of the old proverb, ‘‘To hell or Con- naught,” which means that anything bad is good enough for an Irishman.

Miss O’Brien warns the English people that there is another nation beyond the sea that is watching England, and whose peo- ple bear in their hearts sentiments more deeply implanted than those in Irish breasts of anger, bitterness, and hopes of coming revenge. She says she was igno- rant of what detestation of English rule meant until she went to America and mixed with the exiles there.

Miss O’Brien next pays her respects to those Irishmen who, having grown rich in the New World, leave their newly arrived countrymen to suffer all the horrors she has described. If, she says, the wealthy Irish in America did by their fellow countrymen one tithe of what the poor are doing un- noticed every day in Ireland, there would be indeed a grand future for Irishmen beyond the sea. Miss O’Brien concludes by commending the authorities at Castle Garden, who do their utmost for the new- comers: but she says the work that should be done for them is beyond their power, and the problem that is to be solved must be dealt with by a far higher authority.
