ill MEMORIMI

WilLIAM A. PIDGEON

By the death of Mr. WilliamA. Pidgeon on Saturday, March 21st, Remington lost one of its oldest and most highly respected citizens. Born in French River, New London, March 16, 1847, he married Eliza- beth Jane Macheod of that place, sister of Mr. J. A. MacLeod. gen- eral manager oi the Bank of Nova Scotia. They came to Kcnsington in early life, where the family has resided eve: since. His wife pre- deceased him Jan. 8, 1933; also two children, William and Carmen, died in the promise andflower of their youth. There are left to mourn two daughters and three sons, viz., Miss Lillian in the home, lviire. Clyde Clift, Edmonton, Alberta; Frank, manager of the Bank of Nova Scotia. Victoria, P. E. 1.: Cecil in Prince George, B. 0.. and about, a member of the Hydro Electric 00., Vegerviile, Alberta. The funeral. which was very largely attended. was held Monday afternoon, March 23rd, from St. Mary's Anglican Church. The rec- tor, Rev. B. Fream, conducted the service and paid a fitting tribute to a faithful and upright life. The words of appreciation and comfort expressed in the address were centered around the word "Faith" as used in the text Romans 1-8, “I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all. that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world." '

One of the favourite words which St. Paul uses in his Epistles ls the word "Faith," and he uses it in connection with those oi his fol- lowers who are willing that the act and mind of God so revealed. should be the chief guiding p:in- ciple of their lives. Jesus often em- phasized the word; we remember the one correction which He made to those who sought His help was "l-lavo faith in God."

We can thank God for the life and witness of faithful men. Today we have gathered to do honour to tho memory of one who by his ex- ample of faithfulness. by his sim- plicity and sincerity, endeared him- self to his friends and all with whom he came in contact. Mr. Pidgeon possessed in high degree those qualities that make for good citizenship, a kindly spirit of help- fulness and fellowship, good moral

SIIVIET-EERMAN TRADE (HALTER

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) BERLIN, March 25—The goose- stepping contlngents which Chan- cellor Hitler sent marching into the Rhineland not only brought the mne under German denomination but also. official sources said to- night, halted German-Soviet trade negotiations.

The armed march on the Rhine result/ed actually. both German and Russians declared, in a postpone- ment of conversations which had brought 1936 trade dealings close to a. point of consummation.

The Rclchsfuehrers denunciation of the Locamo pact and his ac- companying verbal barrage against the Franco-Soviet mutual assistance pact brought a lessening of Soviet interest in a German loan after one Russian declared “There is a limit to the insults that can be heaped upon us."

Liberal Member For Pictou Calls For Re- form In Administra- tion.

,. (C. P. By Guardian's SpeolaLWkO)

HAIiIPAX. March 26——Nova Sco- iia’s educational system "is in “W59 than the ox-cart stage" Don F. Fraser (Lib. Pictou) told the Legislature W413i’ 1h calling for re- iorni not only in the system but also 1n the administration.

The Ne" Glasgow newspaperman ended the budget debate with a VlEOYWS attflok 0n the department after wnereiuleting the government on its "progressive legislation" and efforts toward balancing the M- counts oi the province.

The system of education was planned almost entirely for the ur- ban districts, where the scholar and the pupil were surrounded with ev- Bry B-dvantflgo and convenience, while the rural school was neglected and in many cases stowed to the extent that the rural teacher re- Df-‘utedly had to g0 without

“You may turn up the reports of the school inspectors and see what they say with respect to the pay of teachers. and those gentlemen arc inclined to smother and cover up things in the interests of their sup- erior, their boss." he said. '

"A prominent SHOT)‘ in 1mg province told me that ‘lchalf of u. teacher of the year i912 he had garnlsheed the municipal grant for 1934-1935-1936. and the teachers for these latter years would net 1e- ceive n. cent.

"I met during the summer holi- days a. young woman who had been teaching in a rural school, in an isolated section with 5'1 pupils, and she had not received a cent of pay. I spoke to the inspector regarding such a condition, and the inability of one teacher to handle such a school embracing. all grades from one to 12 and pointed out that such would only lead to illiteracy.

“My information was that in that section there were 25 fine young men who could not read the news- papers for lack of learning.

"He put on a. wry face and said he did not think things were so bad in the section I had named as in another section which h" named where he said he did not object when they elected one school trils- tee who cauld not mad and write but when they elected two trustees who could not read and write he went to the section and told them he would not stand for that."

Estimating illiteracy in Nova Sco- tla at "over eight per cent," Mr. Fraser said there was little won-

tlon (Dr. H. F‘, Munro) had pub- licly stated the educational system tem is in the ox-cart stage."

"That after he has had the sole administration of the system backed by an apparently unlimited treas- ury from which he extracted a larger salary than the Prime Min-

system under which he doubled the costs of administration. surrounded himself with a high salaried gentry. out of all proportion to the ability of the people oi this province to pay, and had a, free hand to alter. change and improve that system as he chose. Still despite all his un- bridled extravagance. the net result of hi3 operations is that the sys- tem is in the ox-cart stage.

It was a system in worse than the ox-cart stage. the member for Pictou declared. It was a system that failed to meet the actual needs or the youth of the province.

He advocated reform to provide a. system tending not toward a uni- versity course but toward useful citizenship, for rural children as well as those in the more favored areas.

"Prom grade one to grofde l0 it should be given by the state. and there the state should stop in its pilblic school education. Why should this province at large maintain a school in engineering for the very few who attend; a technical col- lege for only those who have be- hind them a two years course in a. university? Why should this pro- vince concentrate in public pay- ment; on high b ‘ in congested and favored sections while the ru-

(Continued from Page 1)

(Continued from Page 1) Mayor, in officially opening the exhibition sold in part:

“You are to be heartily con- gratulated on the varied and splendid display of your work, your art and your ability, which I trust will be fufliy demonstrated in a very appreciative audience dur- ing the days of this exhibition.

"I bring you greetings from the citizens of Charlottetown on your undertaking, and the assurance that our citizens are desirous of the continuanco of this exhibition with the sincere hope that you may show improvement in your various ceilings for all future exhibitions.

"One year ago the Girls’ and Boys’ Hobbies Exhibition was held in Charlottetown. in this YMCA. building. The largo mess e: of suc- oess attending that exhibition was a warrant for holding a second event, and we are assembled here tonight to open the second Hobbies Exhibition.

"The entries received last year from 250 girls and boys numbered 2'15, and your directors have in- formed me that we have for this second exhibition, 394 entries. For this increase I wish to heartily congratulate you, girls and boys. and not only you but also your parents. for I believe they are as anxious B5 you yourselves. to en- courage and bring out that talent of which you are possessed and I feel that it is by a. lmlted effort of parents and children, that your success can be attained.

"In that old Confederation Room of our Parliament Building there is a motto and it is this: ‘They build- ed better than they knew.’ To you girls and boys who are starting on this Hobbies Exhibition there may be, and I feel there will be, talent awakened that will lead you on to higher: and nobler things than you are displaying ‘to us during this exhibition, and I would ask you to follow on in your various calllngs, and in the years to come it may be said of you, as it was of those who asscmbledvln that Confeder- ation Roonl. ‘They bulided better than they knew.’

“The classes .of the exhibition cover a wide range of hobby in- tcresis. and the purpose of the ex- hibition has been to afford oppor- tunity for the displaying of cre- ative hobbies, and to express all talents which contribute to the dc- velopment of a wholesome person- ality ond to the enrichment of life.

“I would like t0 assure you that your efforts arc not alone, for you have in addition to the board of directors of this exhibition the hearty support of the following Chclzlotiletown organizations, the Y.M.C.A., the Women's Music Club, the Art Society, the Y's Men's Club and the l-li-Y Grads, together with the individual support 0i’ many of our citizens. In view of the large supporters you have, I feel you will go forward to make the future exhibitions a greater success than those we have been privileged to 5C8.

“It is now my happy privilege to declare this Second Girls’ and Boys‘ Hobbies Exhibition duly and form- ally opened.”

Son of Late Marshal French Replies To H ai g ’ s Biography And Diaries.

, (B? ‘lhunas '.l‘ Champion) (Canadian Press Staff Writer) (C-Y- Cable By Guardian's Special Wire)

LONDON, March 25 — Further fuel was added tonight to the long- sustained fire of recriminationg ov- er the respective reputations of t-he two British commanders irl France during the Great War, Marshals French and Haig, with publication tomorrow of "French Replies to H1118." by Major Gerald French, second son of the late Marshal. The book, provoked primarily by recent publication by Alfred Duff Cooper of I-Iaig's biography and di- aries, reviews exhaustively the re- lations between the two generals. Major French asserts Hail; through- out his career had a tendency to criticize his superiors. — The author alleges there is no room for doubt that Haig consider- ed himself the‘ right man for su- preme command in 1914. Major French is severe on Haig for having in September, 1915, written directly to Lord Kitchener, Secretary for War. criticizing his superior.
