Mucli interetlt was manifested in the 1, cluded interesting and helpful addres-

commencement exercis_es of Prince of ses by Hon. Mr. M£Kinnon, Judgs Ste-

Walea College which were held yester- day morning in the-As emblyjHali.

The young lady graduates gowned

in white occupied the place on promi- nence on the _pla._tforlu. Occupying seats on the platform also were: His Honor Lt. » Governor McDonald who presided, Dr. Robertson, Principal of the College, l-ion. Murdock McKinnon, 'Acting Premier. Judge Stewart, Prof. H. H. Shaw, Acting Chief Superinten- dent of Educatioll, Ex-Governor Mc- Kinnon., Professors Steele, Murphy, Bennett, McCready. _Barlow, Blan- chard, of the College staff. 4 'The report of the year‘s work by Principal Robertson contained a force- ful appeal to the people for better support to the cause of Education. In the course of his remarks he said: "‘Our institution has had a history of some 56 years and the records 0 attendance show a gradually-increased number, till at the present session it has passed the three hundred mark. The growth is gratifying, but in con- sideration of what is not accomplish- ed it is not so satisfactory. The pu- pils of our schools number some 18,000- and -in the ordinary course of affairs there should be leaving~the public schools each year some 2500 persons. These naturally should find their way to Prince of Wales College, but representing them we find only some 250. That is to say only one in ten of the number we would expect The other nine must have entered life from the public schools. So that nine- tenths of our young people begin life with the educational attainrnents that, can be gained by the end of the 14th year.

- ,The--tree standingby the roadside

sends dowli thousands of seeds only to ho tralnped under foot, but its pro- digaiity is surpassed by that of the pa- rents of P. E. Island, who give, it is true, some attention to the physical life of the child but leave it to go out into the world bereft of the intelligent direction of the mind to he a mere ma- chine in the world's work-hewers of wood and drawers of water ~ '

“Fortunately we have a commission

on conservation and much is being said of economy and increased produc tion-all good texts for lengthy ser- mons-‘but they deal only with the ma- terial world. We must turn to the human side and attempt to collsldcr the .young people of P. E. Island. _“P. W. College forms what might be called the higher grades of the public school and to it must come naturally all the* pupils that grade from their own local schools. If these are to be formed into groups cr classes in the College work it is necessary that they should be of somewhat similar attain- ment if the teacher is to minister in his class work to the good of each in dividual member of a class. lt bo- comes necessary to make work in college possible-that the schools be more or less organized into a sys- tem-thal. we should no longer have good, ordinary or poor schools bllt that we should have a system provi- ding compulsory attendance of pupils, a highly trained teacher and a com mon curriculum-all supervised by a puiilcient staff of inspectors and su- perintendents. .,,“‘I'he lesson of the war is one show- ing the value of organization. A io- oal unit, began recruiting about the time the present session began and we have seen it work from day to day linden competent oiilcers-and no

golibt they worked evenings as we do.

ut their work of training is not yet complete. They have to be moved to fields of larger facilities and the work ofltrainlng is but well begun, whereas we beginning about the same time. have this day completed a full and sof- ilcient training for the teachers in our " ublic schools. The deducton is that rither the training of a soldier is s diffgnlt process of the making of a "\_Qe'acher an easy one. We should have more mature and highly trained tea-

chersin npr schools. -. “Over sl is tile shadow of the war and the work of the session has been arried on in an atmostsphere of un- iest. The students have divided their .thoughts whether to serve their coun-

hy enlistment or to continue at

air _stud.ios. Scsrcely s .weak has sssd‘ that some students have not

LONDON. May 26.-Heavy fighting

in the region of Verdnn continues with ‘the Germans still aggressors. Ac- cording to the latest Frenull ofnc-i_ul communication no :low chan:-2 ill posi- tions has taken place. Following up their recapture of Fort Dounumolli: northeast of Verdnn the Germans have striven to drive the French from the approaches to the fort where th;-.y ‘drew their lilles when forced to vacate Fort Itz. The attack was 'a strong one. Paris reports, that under 'the fire of the French lnfantl'y and rapid ilrers it was completely repulsed the Ger- mans suffering heavy casualties. This was the only infantry attack ill the Verdnn region but artillery on both sides has been extremely active, es- pecially ill Avlcourt and Hill 304.

The British and Germans ccnilned

their recent fighting mainly to bolnb- ardments and sapping operations. _There have been several minor infan- try attacks and bomb throwing on botll sides but in these there was no ma- terial advantage io either sides.

Comparative calm prevails along the

Russian front, the only fighting of

On May the second..an impressive

ceremony took place at the Mother House of the Congregation de Notre Dame, Montreal, when twelve young ladies pronounced the vows which make them members of that venerable and time-honoured institution. The ‘Archbishop of Montreal was repre- _sented by Monsignor ltoy. A dis- tinguished and eloquent member of the Eudist order-Father Dagnault preached the sermon-it will interest some of the Guardian readers' to know that among the happy ones who, on _thai dny, dedicated their lives tc God's service in the education of the young, live were from P. E. Island, a land which, though small ill territorial cx- tent, has contributed generously to the ranks of the priesthood and sister- hood of the Catholic Church.

Three of these sisters had the plen-

Mrs. Cl_arke was present at her daughter's profession, and also at the ordination of her nephew, a son of a Mr. CraSZ. a Halifax merchant. Her youngest daughter Annie is making her novi- tlate in a religious house at Ottawa. After spending a few days in Montroal with her daughter Mrs. Clarke left for Halifax, her former home to visit friends there. Later, she will come to the island to ronew the friendships
