THE EASTERN HIGHWAY

Buy-I would request your read- ers tn pick up a map of P. E. Is- land. You will find between Charlottetown and Mount Stewart o. narrow section of country bor- dered by the ‘Gulf of St. Lawrence on the North and the East River on the south. The people living in Southern Queens and Kings cannot get to this place except by Mount Stewart or Hiilsbomugh bridge. Through this narrow sec- tion they have the railway from Charlottetown to the East. They are getting the National Park in there, and I read of a recent meeting in East Royalty asking to get the paved highway in there also. I think our frlqids north of the East River have churches and bibles and are Christian peo- ple. But I am afraid they forgot what la aaici about loving their neighbors u themselves. They can travel between Mount Stew- art and Charlottetown by train, road, or water, and they forget that there fl from twenty-five to

fifty-five miles of thickly settled country between them and the Northumberland Strait. Those people between the East River and the South Shore would like to get a little of the benefit and how can they if they put the road up behind the East River where they cannot get to it. I suppose the southern people will have to pay their share of the construc- tion and the upkeep. And to add insult to injury another meeting at St. Peters proposed ho can? it along the North Shore to Soul-la. I wonder 1f we who live in the south would ask that the paved highway come down through Eldon, Wood Island to Murray Harbor, how would it sound to our friends in the north. And yet they are just as entitled to itasthose on the north side. and I am quite sure that not one of the above men- tioned piaoes would ask for it.

All we ask for is a. central high- way, not along shore roads, but inland where it is most need, and where all can get a little benefit, At the present session we are look- ing to the representatives of the south for a fair deal. So be on your guard Messrs. Jones, Mac- Kfnnon, Campbell, Annear, Hessian Mustard, Hughes and Bavfll.

iI am, Sir, etc, FAIR PLAY

SCHOOLS FOR COMMON FOLK

Sin-My attention has been call- ed to a recent letter under the above caption from the pen of Rev. J. W. A. Nicholson. Being a. resi- dent of New Bnmswlck, I have, of course, no business to poke my nose into a discussion of P. E. I. schools, and I would hold my tongue if Mr. Nicholson's remarks were ap- plicable lo these alone. But it seems .0 me that his wise words apply equally well to the schools of all Canada, and therefore I hope the ring is open to all comers.

May I congratulate Mir. Nichol- son on his courage, common sense and genuine public spirit? And may I express the fervent hope that his words will be pondered by all con-

concemed with the proper educa- tion of our children)? If Mr. Nich- olson were a man of little educa- tion himself, his indictment of the "criminal waste" of teaching (or rather pretending to teach) the av- erage child Algebra, Geometry and foreign languages might carry little weight. But there is no man In Canada more highiy educated in the strictly academic sense-or (what is of vastly greater import- ance) more truly and profoundly cultured.

I am glad to Ieam that it is the farmers of P. E. I. who have "raised the question of champion- lng our common school studies." As Mr. Nicholson indicates, the ques- tion has been raised, times with- out number by the highest educa- tional experts all over the world. More than 30 years ago, tn the class of Pcdngogics at Glasgow Un- iversity, I was amazed t0 find that most of the educational methods and curricula then (and still) in vogue had Tong been laughed at by all real educators.
