History Dates Bat-k n. 1534

Prince Edward island has an in- teresting history as well its a pre- sent reputation. it was visited as early as 1534 by Jacques Cartier, tentntivtiiy settled by the. French in 1663, but its real settlement lit-- gan when Acatiians, after being ex- pelled from Nova Scotiu in i753. found a resting place on itsQsiitirt-s. Under the French regime it was known us Iilslo St. Jean. being so named by (Thnniplain. 'l‘liis name iii its Anglicizeti form ivas retained unticr British rule until 1799. when on account of the number of Si. Johns existing in British North America. it was rechristeiietl Princi- Edwiirti island iii honor of Eduard Duke of Kent.

Breakfast over, the \‘irii.l)l"'. found themselves in ziutoiiitibiles that cit- izens of Past President Brennan's town had tirivcn over to take its across tn Sumnicrsitle. The tirivc was one not soon to he forgotten. The atmosphere clear anti bracing. Eighteen miics was all too short a drive over this beautiful country its neat clean, well cultivated fields, its sleek cat- tle, its comfortable homes anti tidy farm buildings, its frequent pat- ches of evergreen anti numerous maples lending variety to the land- scape. There was ample evidence that the people knew we were. ‘enm- ing. School children waved flags in joyful greeting as we passed farm gates, some mull boxes and every hamlet on the route ivcrt- beflnggetl in welcome.

Arriving at Summersitle the vi."- itors found the business section gully decorated. Many of the men made their way to the fiiiii big block that houses the publishing plant oi the Summerside Journal of which otir last year's president Mr. Brennan, is chief. The ladies, meanwhile, visited 'H0lm3ll'S said t0 be tlic largest retail country store in America. it is tiniquo in that its various departments are like separate shops, each with an entrance on the street. This store does on big business through the Muritimcs and its annual turnover runs into millions. Summerside is a busy little town and has many hunti- sonie homes. it is the center of the black fox industry.

A Hlelan Welcome

At noon the pnrty were guests of the Hoard of Trade at tlic Brit- annia Club, at the entrance of which they were welcomed by Mayor Litistone anti Sandy McGre- gor the latter in full liieiaivs cos- tume. Sandy proved himself u ver- satile chap and acted as general pep-master ior the programme. The banquet hull was pretty decorated tin excellent’ orchestra_ was gener- ous with its music and the indies were more than generous with pro- vision for the inner mun, served by charming young ladies. Mr. Bren- nan was given an ovation nn rising to speak anti references to hini by his fellow tnwnsmcii anti his news- paper confreeres showed how high- ly he is esteemed. Atlresses were made by A. C. Saunders, M. L. A. representing the Government, bv J. D. Stewart, than" lesdg p] Q Oppositiom but now Premier and several others. President Rogers of the Board of Trade presided. J. D.

St. Dunsttiiifis (lath etiral (Roman (Tatholici has the reputation of being the first church edifice east of lvioiitreai, while the iiotigson ltit-morial (‘litipel, connec- ted with St. Peter's Cathedral. is probably the smallest and most art- istic in the Dominion. lii the hitter are several large jiuintings of bibl- cals cones iii which some of the characters are painted in the like- ness of women anti children for whom the paintings are memorials. This idea struck one as peculiar, to say the least.

Educate Sexes Separately

Charlottetown has several good schools. Protestant and Roman Catholic schools are managed by one board, the uiembership of which consists of four Protestants and three Catholics. The sexes are educated separately, there being one school for boys and one for girls of (‘ilCll faith. Absolutely no religious teaching is jit-rmittetl in either Protestant or Catholic schools and there is nothing to compel the Catholics to attend the (fatliolic schools or vice vcrsti.

Confederations Birthplace

A feature oi’ the layout of Char- lottetown is its five public squa s around which are located the 1iriii- pai public buildings of the prov- ince and the Queen Gtirtlens. Of these, tlie parliament buildings are "e t. There tlio \ s.-

‘e i by l~‘i-..-m Bell anti the Hon. F. J. Nash. in this building took place the most import- ant conference leading to Confetier~ zition. This fact is recorded in a handsome bronze. tablet hearing the names of tiie Fathers oi’ Cnufetler- ation, anti among other wording the following:

In the hearts and minds of the delegates who assembled in this room on Sept. 1, 1864, was born the Dominion of Canada. Providence being the guide,

Whether or not he was connected with the three gen- erations of Barrie men bearing that mime the writer has not learn- ed. but this particular Georgi.- Coles was Premier of P. E. l. at the time. of Confederation.

While in this building we were rather surprised to learn that tlie parliamentary library also serves as a public library for the city.

Seeing the Foxes

After a drive through the ioxper- imental Farm anti to the Golf and Country Club, some. of us who had missed the fox farms at Summer- sido were tiriveii out to the Chur- lottetown i-‘ox Farm, where some 300 foxes are raised. The adult foxes were rather untidy looking Sliccimens as they were in the pro- wl" ‘ll’ llfiiluiring their new coats but the little fellows were,‘ as one 0f llle girls expressed it, “too cute for words."

Within the last ten years Prince Edward island has come in for world-wide fame on account oi’ its fox-farming industry anti particula- rly for its silver black animals. To- day there are 566 ranches on the island and one would judge from

A Good Medicine For The Baby

At this function. the writer had the pleasure of nTcetiirg Mr. Cot- ton, a veteran newspapernirtn who ivas editor of the Charlottetown Examiner for many years. This paper unfortunately fell u victim to tho increased costs of publica- tion il couple of years ago. That the city does not wont for education which comes through the press is evident from the fact that it contains no fewer than three daily newspapers. Quite ample, newspiiperiiicii will agree, for a city with a population of twelve thousand. One of these the Gnar- tliiin, curries the unique motto, "Covers l‘. E. l. like the tlew."
