On accouat of the tobacco crop of 1883 being so poor, we did not buy much, and selected only the best of it, as we alWays wish to keep our “T. & B. Myrtie” brand up to the standard; and therefore there may

Plug for a short time. If such is the case there will be a full supply on the market by the end of October.

The tobacco we are now about to manufacture is the finest we have ever had, and we know it will please our numerous customers.

minds to work hard, and, as the fees are payable on or before entering college, they are pretty sure to make good use of their

time.’ |

ee

You take the lead in Bookkeeping, do you not, as compared with other colleges ?” ‘Judging from the success that attends

my practical system, perhaps [ might anewer in the aflirmative.” ‘*Arithmetic has its difficulties with

} ing corporal punishment in the schools, and | many, what proportion would you find

|the “rights of the pupil”; but a long! | experience has convinced me that the grea‘er| jamount of this gush comes from the very) 'parents who are positively crucl in the | home treatment of their children, and from | those who completely lose sight of the ‘rights of the teacher. Children may be ‘gent to school bearing the marks of blows given them at home, but woe to the un- |lueky pedagogue who dares lay a hand on jthem in the school room, He might as well shake a red rag before an angry bull, for the vials of wrath are emptied on his cevoted head. You observe, editorially, in Tue Examiner of the 15th inst., that when a teacher happens to be “ hauled up” for inflicting corporal punishment, ‘‘the magis trate is often puzzled to know what to do in the case, as he has no law to guide him in |; the premises.” I think our worthy Stipen- diary, Mr. Fitzgerald, has, both on the platform and the bench, demonstrated how tar the teacher is justified in carrying cor- poral »upishment, and what the jurisdiction of the Magistrate is in case the limits of discretion have been exceeded. He has }expressed the opinion that the teacher is j autocrat of the school room, that a refrac- | tory pupil is liable to corporal punishment, and that only when such punishment has been inflicted tothe extent of permanent bodily injury, does the teacher become liable to an action for common ussault, But so very rare are the cases in

}

resorted to, that to do away entirely with corporal punishment would be about the same thing as closing our churches, because occasionally a hypecrited church member has imposed upon his fellow by wearing the garb of sanctity. There are instances fre quently occurring in the schools, where, ‘*moral suasion” and all gentle means hav ing failed, a moderate use of the rod be- comes a positive necessity, not only to sus- tain the teacher’s reputation as a disciplin- arian, but for the child’s own good, where no other treatment within reach will pro- duce lasting effect. The old proverb, ‘*Spare the red and spoil the child,” is just as true to-day as it was in the long dead past, and not until every child brought into the school has been made tke recipient of a sound moral home training will it cease

There is another thing, the evil effects of which are seldom taken into consideration by unthinking parents—the nuisance of ‘‘written excuses.’”? A child is kept at home fortwo or three days, or weeks, at the end of which time he returns to school, ‘armed,’ to use the words of an experienced fellow laborer, ‘‘with a written excuse,” which is supposed to be a propitiation for wasted time, loss of lessons, and useless efforts to ‘‘catch up” with the class. The most trivial and ridiculous thing serves to keep the pupil at home, ard as the basis for a written excuse. Do parents ever stop to think, when penning these premiums on laziness—for in nine cases out of ten they

are nothing else—that the children who make the most frequent use of them aie never noted for diligence in study, and never pass brilliant examinations at the end of the term? When the grading cfficer tasts the

work of the year, and pupils fail, he does not take into account the wasted hours, and days, and weeks, covered by abomin- able written excuses, but all the same the teacher has to bear the odium of the pupil's failure, when these frivolous bits of paper have been the medium of constant interrup- tion in study. They would be more rare'y rezorted to if parents would only reflect, when penning them, that they bu‘ encour- age their children in idleness, deceit, and gross neglect of study. They are but con comitants of ‘* vicious home training.” TEACHER, Ch’town, Oct. 17, 1885.

Charlottetown Business College.

Principat UL. B. Miter, of the Char- 'lottetown Business College, having refitted, decorated, and improved the accommods- tion for the studezts that attend his courscs | of study, we waited upon that gentleman to jascertain something of his future plans. | Always successful hitherto in prepaiing young men for the counting house and banking room, we were not surprised to find all his college appointments perfectly adapted to his professional duties, and ‘replete with every appliance necessary to promote the intelligent advancement of the collegiate body of students.

It was all self-evident, and we were glad to find that the number of applications coming ia for business preparaions would tax the en- | larged accommodation to its utmost limits, 'so we advise intending students to secure their desks without unnecessary delay.

| Principal Miller was in his office when | we called, and with characteristic politeness ihe soon placed himself at the disposal of his interrogator.

| “How many students, Mr. Miller, do lyou expect will attend your College this | winter ?” ;

| ‘* Probably the number will reach one '

hundred and twenty five.”

** Does this number fuclude your classes for ladies ?” | ‘* No; special arrangements are made for | ladies, as their object is not so much book- keeping and arithmetic as type-writing and | telegraphy.” . ‘Do they become proficients in those | branches ?” | ** Decidedly so, and many secure lucra- _ tlve positions in consequence.”

‘How about the ability of your colle- gians /—are they, as a general thing, capa-

experts when they graduate?’

‘*] have never tabulated the facts in such cases, but you would be surprised at the progress that follows a moderate fami- liarity with my plan of Jeading them throngh a full course of bona fide transac. tions, both in banking and general trade ?”

‘** Do you give special attention to com- mercial correspondence and its ortho- graphy !”

‘Most assuredly. Our graduating stu- dents leave college,except in very rare cases of incapacity, quite up to all the re quirements of ordinary correspondence,”

‘Do you afford your students the advan- tages of a lecture reom, say on Business Law, the distribution of commodities, the geographical relation of supply and demand, and such like subjects ?”

“*T am glad you asked ‘this question, as I have arranged with some .of our leading lawyers to lecture before the students, and intend, as I may have opportunity, to include other subjects, such as those you mention,” “%

**Do you make any discount to Lady students ?’

‘* Indirectly, yes. I supply my lady students with all their stat onery free.”

** What abont your evening classes?”

‘** I have determined to open the ccllege in the evenings for the special benefit of those who cannot attend during the day. Large numbers are anxious to spend their evenings under instruction, for their im- provement. °

‘You spoke of Type-writing and Tele- graphy as specially suited to Ladies, Why ?¢”

‘‘What I meant to convey was that the delicate organizations of our feminine friends are greatly in their favor, both as type writers and telegraphists, and as iady operators are (in many houses of business) preferred to gentlemen, they are more in demand, and can become self-supporting and comfortably independent when they become proficient in these two arts.”

As Principal Miller’s card will be found in another column, reference for further information can be made to it.

A Glimpse at the Moon. SCIENCE REVEALS IN THE PALE PIL- GRIM OF THE TROUBLED SKY,

WHAT

Unehangeable silense reigns in the moon in sovereignty, says Camille Flammarion in his wonders of the heavens, Tall, perpendicular monntains divide its sur- face. Here and there are seen worn-out craters rising toward the sky, white rocks heaped up like the ruins of some long passed revolution, crevasses cross- ing the surface as in lands dried by the burning rays of long sum- mer days. That which renders the spec- tacle more strange is that the absence of vapers causes the absence of perspective as well as the absence of all tints, and we see only white or black according as the object is in the sun’s light or in shadow,the objects succeeding each other as far as the horizon without losing brightness or contour. In the vicinity of the Southern Pole, that is to say, at the lower part of the moon as seen with the naked eye, are the highest mountains of the satellita : Doerfel, whose top attains a height of 26 691 feet above the level of the neighboring plain. Casatus and Curtins, 7,600 and 7,138 yards, Newton, 23,853 feet in depth. This word depth may justly be questioned when it refers tothe elevation of a mountain ; but the moon is such a singular world that its mountains may be measured as well by depth as height. This paradox, rather difficult to understand, arises from the fact that the mountains of the moon are not like those of the earth, but are hollow. When we arrive at the top there isa ring, the interior of which often descends below the snurroundivg plain, so that if one did not wish to make the round of the slopes, which sometime measure 310 miles (Ptolemy), and even 403 miles ip circumference (like the circle of Clavius), it would be necessary to descend three or four miles to cross the bottom of the crater and afterwards to ascend on the opposite side of the ring, to return at last into the plain.

Lake Mistassini.

(Toi onto Mail.)

The attempt to prove that Lake Mistas- sini, discovered by Jesuit Missionaries two hundred years ago, was a vast inland sea, larger than Lake Superior, has failed, though the heroic cfforts at myth-culture displayed by the agents of the Quebec Geographical Society almost deserved a better fate. Mr. Low, of the Dominion Geological Survey, has just returned to Quebec from the lake, where he has been carrying on explorations since last March, He found the main lake to be 125 miles long by 20 miles wide. The St. Rupert, a rapid stream with a volume of water almost as large as that of the Ottawa, con- necis the lake with James Bay. The coun- try is somewhat flat, timbered with small spruce, and not at ali adapted to grain- growing on account of frost. The mineral wealth of the dietrict is confined principally to iron, but whether in paying quantities or not is a matter of speculation. Mr. Bignell’s inland sea with its miscellaneous assortment of rich mineral deposits and prolific fisheries may therefore be consigned in the same caravan as the ring-tailed man

bly studious ?” ‘* Well, students as a rule do not come to college before they have made up their
