PROV.NCIAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION,

_——

Aonual ;Mesting HW Last Night— ne

Provincial Rifle Association was held last

evening in the City Court Room. The Association was well represented. The report of the .Council showed a cash balance in tavér of the Association of $145.33 at the end of the year. It aleo showed thatthe Inter-Maritime Trophy was won by a team of riflemen repre- senting the province in 1896. The com- mandant of the Ottawa team, Capt.

Stewart, submitted his report which shows that the province was representcd by an unusually strong team but owing to the contrary winds, peculiar to the Ottawa Valley, which prevailed in a marked dregree last year, it did pot succeed as well ae the captain would desire. Some $90 in cash was taken in individual prizes.

The following officers were elected for the current year :—

President—Lieut, Col- Dogherty.

Vice Presidents —Lieut. Col. Long- worth, Surgeon Jenkins, L. E. Prowse, Eeq.,M. P. P;

Members of Councii—Major Weeks, Lieut. McDougall, Capt. Stewart, Capt. Davison, Captain Crockett, Lieut. Stew- art, Capt. Jones, Staff Sergt. Allan and Capt. Mcore.

The Hon.. L. H. Davies, Minister of Marise and Fisheries, and A, W Owen, Esq , of Otrawa, were chosen members of the Council of the Dominion of Canada R fle Association for 1897.

A very hearty vote of thanks was ten- dered the management for its successfui work in the year just closed.

At a meeting of the Council held imme diately after the close of the Association meeting, the Secretary, Lieut. E. Mac- dougall, tendered his resignation, which was accepted, and Capt. 8. F. Hodgson, Paymaster 4th Regiment, C. A., was appointed in his stead. EE EE INDIA’S FAMINE FUND,

The sufferings of the people increase. The pangs of hunger drive them forth from the villages to the towns, living skeletons file along the highway in silent

procession. Numbers besiege the rail- way stations and scramble like wild beasts fur the rice the passengers fling amongst them. “Give ye them to eat.”

fhey are waiting with outstretched hands to receive that which will save life—life as precious to them and to their Lord as the life of any others in like distress.

fatal accident to report from here. Last. Tuesday, as the boats coming“from Cape Termentine were launching off the ice into the water,one of them,wiihthe inexperieve- ed coxswain, shoved his boat into the wa er leaving two of his men on the ice. OUneof them, Cornelius Bell, held on to. the quarter of the boat, and it pulled him into the water. He fell oo his back and went down. Instead ofthe men pulling their boat back to him they threw their oars for him to catch, When he came up he managed to turn ever, andthe mau on the ice, George Trenholm, laid down ou the ice and just as he was going down again Trenhold caught his haod aod saved him. Ir it had ‘not been for the presence of mind and smartness of Mr. Trenholm he wou! have been drowned. He was not much the worsé of his dip. He shoek himeelf, and said “it was not to be, or be would have been drowned.” ‘The men in charge of these boate should be competent men. With such men in charge as George Trenholm and Cernelius Bell there would be no accidents to report. If there is not a change, we sl a'l p ob — bly bave anothet accident to report. tefore the spring.

GRAND BALL AT WINTER RIVER,

On Friday evening last a large number of people assembied at the residence of Mr Daniel Ready, to partake of the most popular of all ¢rjoyments the dance. ong before the evening had sent his welcome shadows over hill and valley, teams bearing the best and most beautiful that our. cougtny affords were leaving Charlottetown, Millcove, Covelead and other places; and the cheerful tingling of bells, mingled with merry laughter, form- ed no smal! part of the pleasure of thore who helped to make the ball at Winter River a success. The music being far- nished by local talent, was the best we have heard for some time,- ard this tc-— gether with the gay drestes and emiling faces of the ladies and the sound of many feet in perfect harmony, made a scene well calculated to drive dull care away. Supper was’sefved about midnight, and around the table sat some of the most prominent men of our country with men of education, aad students with @ promis- ing tuture ahead of them With these sat farmers whose calling is not kss noble, and who are not less refined than those who sat with them, Each of these was accompanied by a lady, and as our Island is famed for its beautiful women I may say nothing but that those were no exception to tbe rule. Scarcely was sup- per over when the youthful champions were agaia viting with each other in the voluptuous dance, for there evidently was “ no rest till morn, when youth and pleasure meet”; andif ever the glowing hours were chased with flying feet it was at Winter, River on Friday night.

Mr. Ready has always been very pop ular here, and his generosity in giving to each and every one vf his neighbors and friends an evening of pleasure not coon to be forgoton, adds in uo small degree to the esteem in which he is held.

EX-PRINCIPAL McSWAIN HEARD FROM

Sir,—It is characteristic of Mr. Thomas E. Cullen that he could not attempt a justification of his extraordinary conduct in leaving Queen Square Schoo! as he did, without intimating how superior he is as a teacher to some others, in this case to myself. It is not unusual for some people to endeavor to praise themselves by de- preciating others. He had an exceptional oppo: tunity to show good work for he had a number of the boys of his class whil:

vice-principal under his charge for three years, while he gave very little aid in the

general administration of the school as a vice-principal is expected to give and does give in every other school.

I am we!l aware that Mr. Cullen had taken special care to make it known what he could do if he were principal of the

school. He had the opportunity to show

whether he could do better work than others and he failed to avail himself of it, —and for what? Was it for the twelve dollars he might receive by an increase of ealary during the remainder of the school

year? I would rather believe that Mr. Cullen found bimself in a position different

from what hé imagined. The class [ left was ina more eflisient state than any

ciass in that department had been for

many years, without a symptom of dis- order or insub-rdination. Now it is thorougbly demoralized.

AN AGGRIEVED PARENT SPEAKS.

Sir,—Kindly permit me, through the medium of your columns, to enter a solemn protest,on behalf of myself and other parents who-e children are attending the Queen Square School, against the short- siguted and injudicious course parsued by the School Board in causing the resigna- tion of Principal Cullen and appointing a stranger to the important position he

oe was lately very nearly _| LETTERS 10 THe EDITOR. GENERAL AUCTION

occupied, Mr. Cullen har fuily, proved himself to be anexcellent teacher. He brought on the scholars committed to his charge far more rapidly than did avy of his predeces- sor, besides which he had won for himself the confidence, respect snd love of the pupils under his care, thereby greatly enhavcing both his value and proficiency as a teacher. He was doing far more personal work than any of his predecessora, and he only asked the Board for what was just and fair, namely, that he should receive a salary equal to that formerly given to his predecessor, The Board could find no fault with the manner in which Mr. Cullen had dis- cbarged his duties, but as they had before them an application from another man for the pogition, who coupled to his application an offer to take the School for $70 less than Mr. Cullen was receiving, they seized upon the wording of Mr. Cullen’s letter to them as an excuse to get rid of him.

Mr. Cnilen’s request or applicatiou for

given the same amount cf salary as that given to bis predecessor he would have to resign,

The Board, determired to make room for the cheap man, construed this into a threat—a direct insult to their bigh- and- mightiness— ard arrogantly refused Mr. Cullen’s request, thus leaving him no other recourse than to tender his resigna- tion, which resiguation they eagerly ac- cepted.

The Board, by their penny-wise-pound- foclisk action have displea-ed both the scholars and their parents, and have also retarded the work of this School, and struck a heavy blow atits former dis- cipline.

‘f the Board could not afford te graut the small increaee of salary asked for by Mr. Cullen, there are parents of pupils atthading the School who would gladly

for their children the advantage of having Mr. Cullen to superintend their education and moral training.

A Paneyt.

ANOTHER PARENT PROTESIS. Six,—I, as one of the parents of the children of Queen Square School, think it a piece of shortsightedne-s on the part of the School Board to accept Mr. Cullen’s resignation because he retused todo more work for Jess money than bh s pred: cessor.

It is hinted that he was bringivg this echuol tothe font so quickly that the School Buard feared it would outrival

other schools in tie city, andthis they did not want. Hence they were b g 1 pleased to have some excuse for acuepting Mr, Cullen’= resignation. The children loved Mr. Cullen. This is proved by the way they resented the action of the School Board. I fear our children will net have proper respect fora man who in an underhand way fiers to take the priocipa!ship of Quecu Square School, which was noc then vacant, for $70 less, This is a very bad example to show our children at the start, We cannot now get our children to go to school unless we force them, and I know I voice the wish of everybody in the s:hool when [eay we want M-. Cullen back. There is now « bad feeling existing between the present teacher and children, which it will take months to remove. PARENT.
