Tue character of the Is/ander as a public journal having been estimated by twelve intelligent and unprejudiced men, and their decision having elicited the unmistakeable approbation of the community — it would ill become us, after penning the obser- vations on the recent trial, which will be found in another column, to notice in detail or at any length the several articles which appeared in Friday’s issue of the condemned paper. Editorials, as well as communications, still breathe the cus- tomary spirit, and furnish to the vitiated taste of those who can read it with any interest or pleasure, more than the usual supply of defamation. We cannot but expect that the editor should manifest some irritation at this particular time; but we usk, is it prudent—is it indicative of the least good feeling or sound sense, to fill the journal which he controls with low seurrillity, embracing much libellous matter, directed against ourselves as well as our political friends, nearly about the time that he had made his complaint in open Court that his own character had been injured by libellous publications? We say nothing for moderate men, or for those who espouse neither side in polities, but we think there are many ultra Conserva- tives who do not make politics their religion, who must have sickened over the contents of the last Is/ander.

Free Scnoors 1x Prince Epwarp [stanp.— We give a degree of prominence in this number of the Journal, to a highly interesting account of the inauguration of the Normal and Model Schools in the Island of Prince Edward. We do so with sincere pleasure, being deeply interested in the suecess of a kindred work in a sister Province.

The remarks of His Excelleney Sir Dominick Daly, and the lucid speech of the Provincial Seeretary, deserve special attention. Mr. Coles, the able author of the present school system in Prince Edward Island, has embodied in his speech a variety of valuable statistical information in regard to the origin and progress of education, and of the educational system of the Island. ‘ In 1808’? he observes, ‘ the legisla- tive grant for the encouragement of education throughout the Island was only £327; in 1839, it had reached but £605; in 1844, it was more than double (£1,271) ; in 1850, it had only reached £1,825; butin 1854, it was increased to £9,000 ; and in 1856, £12,00 or about one-third of the whole revenue of the Island’”"—** a fact (as stated by the Ilon. Col. Swabey) un- paralleled ‘in any other country.’ In regard to the schools and schvol attendances, Mr. Coles remarked that in 1851, the year befure the passing of the School Act, there were not more than 90 common schools in operation throughout the Island, and that the number of pupils attending them did not exceed 4,000. Now, however, the nuinber of schools amounts to 260, and of pupils to 12,000. Thus both have increased three hundred per cent. in five years. These facts are most cheering, and augur well for the future educationa! prosperity of the Island.

The distinguishing feature of the Prince Edward Island educational system is the recognition and embodiment of the principle of Free Schools—Free Schools in the fullest sense of the term. . This important principle was derived by Mr. Coles from Ohio, and by him incorporated in the Draft of a Bill which he submitted to the Legislature of the Island in 1852. The Legislature, with enlightened and patriotic unanimity, passed the Bill; and it is now the educational charter of the Province. ,The application of the free school system in Mr. Coles’ Act differs from the application in either the Canadian or American system. It imposes, by legislative authority, a tax of one hallf-penny per acre on all the lands in the Island ; while at the same time it relieves all persons of the payment of school fees, or other charges, except for books, &e. Tn Ohio, as in New York, a tax is imposed by authority of the State of one-eighth or one-tenth of a mill in the dollar on all taxable property ; while with us, a variable rate is imposed (with the consent of the parties concerned, expressed at a public meeting) upon the taxable property of the school section, according to its wishes and requirements.

The Legislature and people of Prince Edward Island have reason to be proud of their system of common school educa- tion. They are quite in advance in this particular of any other British Colony, with the exception of Upper Canada, | This was felt and expressed at the Inaugural Meeting by several speakers. The Hon. Mr. Whelan, in his remarks, stated that they considered they were entitled to boast that they have taken the lead, and set an example to all the North American group of Colonies in the important matter of educa- tion. We rejoice in their educational progress; and feel that in its prosperity among them as in the other British Provinces, we are all alike interested. It is gratifying to observe that Normal Schools are now in successful operation in Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prinee Edward Island.— Canadian Journal of Education.
