THE INSPECTOR FOR KINGS

Sin,—The editorial paragraph in the last Weekly Guardian, announcing the appointment of G. J. McCormack, School Inspector, was evidertly written or inspired by that gentleman himself. Modesty never prevented this individual from puffing Limeelf in the press—notably since he dropped the k from his name. Few readers of tbe Guardian or any other paper in the province are prepared to ac- cept the statement that“he is in every way qualifi- -d forthe position,” unless, pomposity and pedantry are the qualifications which pass for scholarship and experience with those who have the direction of , our educational affairs. “That he was one of the most successful teachers in the pro- vince for years,” is another atatement not borne out by ‘facte—indeed it lacks the essential element of truth. I believe that McC. kept school at Cardigan for the extended (?) period of three years, and then abaudoned the profession for a posi- tion in which he could make more money. As a proof of his success in this school, it may be mentioned that the parents of some of his advauced pupils sent their children to other schools in order to prepare for entrance examinations to the P.of W. College. The Guardian extends

Education but refrains from condoling with the teachers of the inspectorate in their misfortune in having this caliow atripling placed over them, As far as the teachers are concerned, I believe no more unpopular relection could have been made. He is utterly imcapable of rendering any assistance to the teachers in teir work and his sole motive in seeking such a position was a purely mercenary one.
