A Protest.

—

waere are'some positions which demand LARS ate '

occupants a special consideration

from thalt . f for the selipgs of all classes, and even ol or the 1 eens . each incis idual of the community. in re- cn in : turn for this,the persons 60 situated are en- titled to claim the respect of all. For in-

stance,one occupying & seat on the Bench is to hold himself aloof from politi-

expecte ‘ : ordinary

eal conilicts, and to show in jntercourse with his fellow citizens, that mpartiality and dignity which aro absolute- ly necessary for the due discharge of his duty. In return for this, he may claim from everyor s that respect which his high offiee demands.

We believe that the positien of a teacher, particularly that of a teacher in our higher institutions of learning, is one which has duties and claims in this respect similar to those of the higher and more dignified public officers, A teacher ina public scheol or college is brought into special relations with every class in the community. Parents of all political views and of all creeds, have equal rights as regards sending their children to be taught by him. They may fairly claim that if he so acts a3 te throw

himself into open and violent antag- onism to them-—if he leaves his exalted position and descends into the arena of political astrife— he seriously mars his usefulness, and

violates an obligatien which is none the less binding because it is an implied and not an expressed ons. If, in addition to this, they can say that the style of the attacks he makes is not of such a kind as io set to his pupils an example of moderation or re- finement ; if, rather, it is a specimen of the scurrilous abuse to be found in the most rabid political journals,—then their grounds for complaint are greatly increased; and they have the right to appeal for protec- tion, first to theirand his rulers, and, if that appeal fails, then to the good sense and right feeing of the community at large.

We need not say that we are referring to the attack upon Senator Carvell, lately / made by the Herald. Weare well aware that the courtesies of literary men allow any writer to preserve an incognito it he wishes, and that to attempt te removea disguise, however slight, is a piece ot rude impertinence. But, in this case, there is no attempt at disguise. The Herald prints on its first page the name of its responsible editor, and that name is found on the list of Professors of the Prince ef Wales College. Wheever wrote that article, Professor Caven is responsible for it.

Now let us put aside, as quite irrevalent, the question who the person attacked is. What we say hasnot reference to this particu.

lar case. We are defending aprineiple. It happens to be Mr. A. to-day. It may

be Mr. B. or Mr. C. to-morrow. Sup- pose thus attacked wish- es to to the Prince of Wales’ College,—in what position would he find hinself! He wishes his son to respect those who are to teach him. fee! tha: he ought himself to be able to hold

any person

send a son

He wonld

friendly communication with one to whom he has entrusted the education of his son. Could he de so in this case? We ask any parent in the community (whatever may be his views about this appointment) to sup- pose thie case his own, and to say if there has not been here a shameful neglect of public obligations’ Why should one| member of the teachers’ staff of the Prince of Wales College so act as to make it im- possible for any one person te avail him- self of his services as asateacher? Why, when receiving public money to serve a public institution, should he, by his con- duct, debar any individual from the advan- tages of that institution }

But this matter reaches beyond the ene persen attacked. We are quite sure that there is a large number of persons in the community who think that newspaper articles, such as the one we refer to, are most injurious and demoralizing in their effect. T'rue, \their opinions may be mis- taken. It may be that their tastes are not sufticiently cultivated to enjoy this style of writing. It may be that they should be so charmed by the school-boy classical allusions as to forget the absence of common decency. It way be that what, to their un- enlturel tastes, seem vulgar abuse, and course insinuations are really refined sarcasm and delicate inuendo. Neverthe- less their prejudices are strong ; and there are many men in this town, on both sides of politics, whe would feel the keenest mortification at seeing their sons read such aa article, knowing it to be written by one who was their teacher. The feelings of these persons should not be outraged.

The editor of the Herald and Professor of the Prince of Wales College has also thought it not unbecoming his position toin-

eee, wate See

What he said may or We are not discussing But, fer one eccupy-

Here again, what is dono in the case of one denomina- tion to-day, may be done in the case of any other to-morrow; and the members of some other congregation will then the members of one do to-day-~that they cannot send their children te the Prince of Wales College (theugh they are taxed for its support), without sending them to be taught by a man who has openly insulted and (they believe) grossly misrepresented them. We ask is this just and fair!

The Prince of Wales Collegs has an It has gained this be-

feel as

honorable record. cause those whe were responsible for its teaching devoted themselves to apecial duties, abstained from anything their high posi-

their office and

inconsistent with

tion, and, respecting themselves, won the respect of the com- munity. But if what we have to complain of is to continue, there will soon bea change. Such conduct on the part of one of the staff, is discreditable to the institu- tion, and is unfair to gentlemen te whom he is sent as a colleague.

Since the Herald publishes such articles, the name of Mr. Caven should be removed either from the paper or frem the staff of the Prince of Wales College. Indeed, we hardly think there is that alternative ; and would rather say that, after such an article in the Herald, Mr. Caven’s usefulness as a Professor of the Prince of Wales College

has ceased.

A Mirago. T'o the Editor of the Examiner.

Srr,—On Friday, the 9th inst., the view from the ‘‘ Head” to beyond the Harbor’s mouth, shewed, in the north-west, a beautiful mirage. It appeared throngh a slight haze, raised somewhat above the level of the land lying between it and the spectator, presenting in the foreground a dark, glassy spot of water, bounded by a coast, every outline of which was sharply defined. Kach curve in the coast line, each depression or cliff was showa, while further inland each patch of dark woods shewed in beautiful contrast to the snow- covered land. It appeared so closely connect- ed to the real land as almost to deceive at the first glance. and coavince you that you really saw a coutinuation of the view as far as Tig-

nish. The day was calm, with a bright sun, the reflection of whose rays was the cause. SPECTATOR.
