1. ,_ 0 is_ the opportunity it will afford us of noting how ittfany things we depended upon others for, how-l11il»Hy Qingsr Ewe had others do for us whieh._wH._ should lfpve done for ourselves. ‘X For many years we were quite content to buy our dyes, our chemicals, -our toys, our cutiery,` our manufactured hardware and many other things from Germany. A British soldier, while setting up barbe`d wire entanglements on the battleheld drew the atten- tion of a comrade to the trade mark “made in Ger- irnany,” on t he spool from which the barbed wire was being unwound. How many “made in Germany" articles were in use in this country two years ago! Had the war not broken out wc should still have been content to have the Germans make all these things for us, quite content to admit that they were 'better and cheaper than the made in Canada goods. ' All this has changed, some of it from necessity, because we could not get the German article, but :post of it because we would not buy goods made in 'Gennany even if we could. » _ Germany has for years held a monopoly of dye- sluffs and many chemicals. Henceforth, and because ofthe war we shall make these things for ourselves.

The Rural' Life Conference which closes with this evening’s session will have done much o awaken this appreciation among our people, to im- pressiupon them the 'greatness of our opportunities and thebeneiits to the province and to ‘individuals of

municipalities appeared in a recent issue, we find that Charlottetown was fepresented at sevral of these meetings . We have before us a report of the C ori-

burton, then'Mayor, and Mr. James Paton-,- then a

their attendance is two-fold, first by an excellent Pl10- tograph of each and second by resolutions moved by each. That moved by Mayor Warburton was for the adoption of one of the official reports; that by Mr. Pa- ton was in connection with our telegraphic service with the mainland one of the first efforts made to- wards the removal of a grievance that had existed for fifty years and which was only removed a few years ago by the efforts of the present government. Mr. Paton’s resolution which we give in full was dis- cussed at considerable length and was finally adopted though the remedy asked for was not applied until any years afterwards. Following is Mr. Pa_ton’s resolution which was se-

conded by Mayor Cook of Ottawa: "Whereas the Municipalities of the Province of Prince Edward Is- land and especially its capital City, Charlottetown, are placed at a great disadvantage by reason of a mono-

al ni

to enable Great Britain after the war to meet the in- ,poly ___ teleg__aph_c communication, there being no

evitable German coinpetitioii. The ;\larquis of Crewe later announced that the Government proposed to ap- point a committee to review the whole field of national education. There is throughout Great Britain a strong agitation to overhaul t he educational system of the nation in view of the defects revealed in the course of the war and with the object of meeting Ger- inanicompetition iii various fields of research in which Great Britain hitherto has been outdistanced. This committee, it was announced in the House of Lords,

service to or from the Island between 8 p. m., and 8 a. m., and that the tariff of rates is double that charged throughoiit'Canada, be it' therefore resolved that the Union of Canadian Municipalities do strongly urge upon the Dominion Government to take immediate ac- tion to place the Municipalities of the province in a more advantageous position in telegraphic matters, both as regards rates and hours of service.” `

There was considerable discussion over the resolu-

tion and much sympathy expressed to the province so

would be closely bound up with the general committee _curly Sexved tcleg__aph_Ca“y_ buh as “ready Stated

on reconstruction after the war. The Marquis ofill

Crewe, speaking on the proposed educational move-_

ment said that “EDUCATION \V.»\S A SUB_]EC'l`\.

ON WHICH THE COUNTRY DID NOT DARE RESTRICT EXPENDITURE \\'llA'l`EVlf`.R TAX- ATION HAD TO BE BORNE."

The movement in our own province, of which the

Rural Life Conference and the Summer School for teachers, noiv in session are features, is in line with fthe' movement in (irc-at Britain and' throughout thc Empire. The need- of such a movement has been clearly indicated by the war. Heretofore we depend- ed largely upon othcrs,henceforth we must depend upon oursclves.\Ve have the natural resoiirces,the raw ina- terial, the men and the means to do our own work and to do it, if we set our energies to work, in the face of the keenest competition_. We must place more empha~ sis in future upon knowing how, upon the efficiency of our schools and our colleges. We must so con-

ture our own raw material but that we shall employ our own people to manufacture it. Heretoforc have been educating our children to build up other countries, ue must now tram them to build up their bwn It is as true of this country as of England that education is a subject on which the country dare not rcstrict ewpenditiine whatever taxation has to bc _bo_rue." ' `

.The agricultural colleges have been brought to

our _doors by specialists; the researches of the experi- mental farnis have been placed within reach of e very farmer who cares to ask for the bulletins; our

it was not until the present government took the mat- ter up that redress was obtained. Our province now s on practically the same footing with regard to tele-- graphic service as its sister provinces are.

Besides the attendance of Messsrs. Paton and

Warburton at the above conference at Ottawa, Messrs. Paton, Warburton and Whear attended another_ at Montreal, Messrs. Paton, _Iohn P . Nicholson and <`.`.impbcll atiix. dad one at Toronto and Mr. Patonwas present at another in Montreal.

The Guardian has been shown a

copy of the Listening Post-'-published ln the field by men of The First Can- adian Divislon. The following are ex-

tracts: ‘

W'ho was the painfully truthful pri-

vate; who, when writing to a corres- pondent, said: “Dear Friend, I liau a close shave tho other day. A shell struck the parapet and buried me un- der what I thought was ten tons oi’ earth, later I found it was only five."

The following took place at Festu-

bert:

Scene, trenches. Poor old Ferguson

coming out pretty badly wounded, was beating it to the Dressing Station. McDonald. our old stretcher bearer, was chasing Ferguson to give him first aid. b ut could not catch him. So Mac yelled to somebody to shoot the blamed fool and stop him. so he could get him to the medical oiilcer.

Party leaving trenches, dog tired,

asked their way to nearest dressing station. The first informant said three miles; half an liour another gave the 'same distance. The last person asked, after an bour’s tramp. replied “About three miles." A voice from the rear was heard, “Thank God wo're keeping up with the bally place.”
