LETTERS TO THE EDITO

The Hour and 2 Half Race.

Six,—In the Patriot of Tuesday's issue, there appeared an account of the skating contest which took ;place in the Excelsior Rink on Monday last. By the tone of the reporter's remarks, the race was too long and too monotonous to please him. 1 am sorry, but contestants who know their business when starting out on a long race, skate at the beginning a speed which they feel justified in, and not a gait which would make them unable to finish in a_ lively manner.

Because Mr. Rattray skated a shade) faster than the rest in the first quarter, the writer jumps at the conclusion that he (Rattray) could double the others ina short race. In order to give him an op- portunity of doing any doubling that he may consider necessary, I will skate him or any of the contestants in Monday’s race, or any other Island skater, a three mile race in the Excelsior Rink.

Yours, ete., E. Sr. C. BRECKEN.

The Excelsior Race.

Sim,—I see by a report of the race in yesterday's Examiner that Mr. Brecken skated 224 miles in one hour and a_ half. This cannot be so. By reference to the New York Clipper annual, you will see that the fastest skating ever made was 20 miles in 1 hour, 30 minutes and 40 seconds, by R. Goetz, at Milwaukee, Wis., Feb. 7, 187%. This time was never beaten. There must be some mistake in the measuring of the rink, or in the timing. If Mr. Brecken can skate that fast he is the champion of the worlu.

Yours,ete., Farm Piay.

School Inspection.

Sir,—It is a fact apparent to all interested in educational matters, that adequate provi- sion is not made for the inspection of our Schools. Mr. Cain, the efficient Inspector for the eastern part of the Island, visited the schools in this part of his district a few days ago. The day on which he came to my school was so stormy and the snow so deep that it was not advisable for children te venture out; consequently there were present but four pupils, and two of these had attended only a short time. Considering it useless to proceed with the examination under such unfavorable circumstances, I asked Mr. Cain to postpone it until the following day, when I expected to have a good attendance. He said, however, that it was impossible for him to do so, owing to the large number of schools await- ing him and the limited time at his command. He then very carefully examined the few pre- sent, but I fail to see how he could thereby determine with any degree of certainty the standing of the school or the progress made. But this is not the only time that my school has been inspected under unfavorable cireum- stances. Mr. Curran, the late Inspector, once favored me with a visit when the ther- mometer ranged from 15 to 20 below zero, and a strong wind ae ! But I do not wish to be understood as finding fault with either of the aforementioned gentlemen because it has been their dieneedeidla duty to visit schools at such times, but I wish to show that with but two officials the very important work of sehool inspection cannot be satisfactorily per- formed.

The old saying that ‘‘ whatever is worth doing is worth doing well,” should hold good in this case. If our schools are to be inspect- ed, let it be done properly. The present In- spectors admit their inability to attain this desirable end. Mr. Cain, in his report for 1885, says: ‘“‘The above statement shows that the number of schools in the Eastern District is 191. These cannot be visited and examined in less than one hundred days. As every Saturday is new regarded as a holiday in many districts, and the number of teaching days (without the Saturdays) in each is a little over one hundred, I was often obliged to ex- amine schools when a fair attendance could not be expected.” Mr. Arbuckle says: “To make the number of visits required by law involves on the par: of the Inspector the most careful grouping of schools, and occasionally a visitation on days when, from the small number of pupils present, only a rough esti- mate can be formed of the teacher's work.” Considering, then, that on the Inspector de- volves the ardrous duty of ranking teachers, it is scarcely possible that this, in addition to his other duties, can be properly performed, when in many cases he is obliged to content himself with but a ‘trough estimate of the teacher's work.” To many the semi-annual visit of the Inspector may seem trivial, but to the teacher it isan event of importance, for, on the condition of his school, he must de- pend for a portion of his salary, as well as for the maintenanoe of his record as a teacher. _Is it not very disappointing for a teacher who has zealously endeavored to advance his pupils as

when he has but a third or fourth of the usual attendance, his best pupils being perhaps all absent? But how can this be remedied? By amending third clause of the Public Schools Act, 1877, so that an additional officer could be appsinted, With. three good inspectors the work could be properly done, as they would not be obliged to visit schools except when at least an average attendance could be

expected. Thole , Sir, that you will give this matter a share of attention, I remain, i Yours truly, TEACHER. Lot 47, March 5, 1887.

War Notes.

WAR PREPARATIONS.

The Russian Government has ordered large quantities of hosmtal and ambulance material, One thousand extra workmen are employed in the arsenal getting artil- lery and ammunition ready. A commission has started for England to purchase torpedo boats.

PRANCE IMPROVING HER FORTS.

ANachrichter says the situation has not yet Jost its threatening character, compelling Germany to provide for every contingency. Among the warlike preparations of France during the past week may be noted the fact that 241 truck loads of planks and beams passed frontier stations, and that immense orders have been given for steel tubes for firearms. The rolling stock of French Northern and Eastern railways has been massed in large parks. At various points the work of finally clearing places at Belfort and other fort works has been begun. GERMAN AND FRENCH.

The North German Gazette draws atten- tion to the fact that M. Levansol, of Paris, is publishing a French and German pocket dictionary for the use of troops, costing only 20 centimes.

DOUBTS OF ALSATIAN LOYALTY.

A despatch from Strasburg announces that the Government has issued an order for the dissolution of the union of Alsatian choral societies, it being suspected that the union assisted the objects ot the French league of patriots. The measures forbid- ding Frénch military men to stay in Alsace, except on special permit, it is said, will be applied to civilians, and that societies whose rules forbid the admission of Ger- mans to membership, or societies which, as a matter of common knowledge exclude Jermans, will be dissolved. Press corres- pondents and others, it is claimed, have been acting as electoral agents, inciting the malcontents, visiting fortifications and doing the work of spies.

Bishop Baldwin's Prohibition

OF GAMES OF CHANCE AND DRAMATIC PER- FORMANCES AS SOURCES OF CHURCH REVENUE.

The following decree has been issued by

Bishop Baldwin in the diocese of

Huron :—

‘* Inasmuch as serious injury has for some time past been inflicted on the cause of Christ in this our diocese, by the use of unscriptural and utterly fallacious methods of raising money for church purposes, and seeing, more- over, that the principles which should regu- late our giving, advocated by us in our pri- mary charge in 1884, have in some instances been neglected, forgotten or ignored, we deem it best, for the interests of our Redeemer's kingdom and the furtherence of His truth among us, clearly and unreservedly to state what are the practices to which we refer, and to take such action as the weltare of our sacred religion demands.

‘“While allowing to congregations all reasonable liberty in the conduct of their own affairs,we yet feel that certain abuses in con- nection with the raising of money for church purposes have crept in smong us, of so secular and unholy a character that to leave them: un- checked would be not only to injure the spirituality of the church at large, but also, by implication, to make us partake of other men’s sins.

‘“TIn accordance with the above, and in vir- tue of the authority committed unto us as chief pastor over this portion of our Lord's flock, we new formally inhibit all churches and congregations within our diocese using the following methods of raising money for ecclesiastical or parochial purposes ;

‘“‘ First—Rafflling, throwing of dice, games of chance or gambling of any kind.

‘*Secondly—All theatrical, dramatic impersonating exhibitions, whether public or private.

‘ Beyond these two injunctions it is not our intention to proceed, preferring to leave all other matters connected with this subject to your Christian judgment and sense of what is right as professors of the faith of our Lord Jusus Christ. We may, however, stato our opinion, and in this we think we have the ‘ mind of Christ.’

‘The only true and Scriptural method by which we can raise money for the cause of Christ is the exercise of the divine principle of self-renunciation. The spirit too often in- voked is that of self-gratification, or ran- dizement. Our offerings, to be acceptable to God, must represent—not the price which some have paid for amusement, and others for gain —but the self-denial of our hearts for the love we bear to Christ.”

._ Enjoy Life.

What a truly beautiful world we live in! Nature gives us grandeur of mountains, glens and oceans, and thousands of means of enjoy: ment. We can desire no better when in per- fect health; but how often do the majority of people feel like giving it up disheartened, dis- couraged and worn out with disease, when there is no occasion for this feeling, as every sufferer can easily obtain satisfactory proot, that Green’s August Flower will make them free from disease, as when born. Dyspepsia and liver complaint are the direct causes of seventy-five per cent. of such maladies as billiousness, sick headache, costiveness, _nerv- ous prostration, indigestion, dizziness of the need palpitation of the heart, and other dis tressing symptoms. Three doses of August Flower will prove its wonderful effect. Sample bottle, 10 cts. Try it. 4a——_—

Lieut.-Governor Robinson is on his way Washington. The New York World says: ‘“ Mr. Robinson has been investigating matters in connection with the fisheries dispute for his government, and it is expected that he will be permanently established at Washington as resident Canadian Commissioner. The Can- adian Government has for some time had this project in mind, and Mr, Robinson will pro- bably receive the appointment.”
