In the addresses given at the olosing exercises ni

Prince of \\~" ales College the stirrings of the new move- ment iii education were very apparent. The need Of better equipment on the part of the teachers, the need of more interest on the part of the parents~ the need of better housing for the schools were emphasized. The importance of laying foundatioiis, of more thoroughly training the children in the elementary subjects was. touchcd upon and the fact clearly pointed out that, without eliicient teachers it is impossible to have satis-_ factory primary schools, impossible also to receive as satisfactory results from Prince of, \Vales College as' would be the case were the students thoroughly trained in the primary schools.

Prince of Wales College has long been looked upon

as one of the foremost educational institutions in Ca- nada. Its students for many years past have been going out to iill places of distinction in all professions. These students came from the elementary schools, many of thcin from the country. It was very largely on the training that they received in these schools that their success in Prince of \\`ales College and in their_ professional career_depended_ `

The bane of our schools for many years past has

been the insufFicie-ncy of the salaries paid to teachers, A generation ago the salaries paid to teachers, although not as large as at present- were, in comparison with the rcniuncraiion in other einployiiients, fairly gene- rous. Siiice then, however, salaries in all other cal- liiigs have increased. 'l`he average employee on the farm, in the store, in the factory has almost if not' quite doubled his wages. With this increase the salaries paid to teachers have not kept pace» and forthat rea- son other einployments and other professions have at- tracted our best young men leaving the schools largely in the hands of women, most of them young and re- maining'in tlieprofessioii only until a more remunera- tivg' position oi`t`ers. And the waiting is usually of short duration especially for the ambitious and the capable. ;

\\7ithin the past few ydars the governni'eiit _-has

done much to rcinedy this condition. As far.as thc' meagre revenue of the province would permit they have increased the teaclier's salaries' and offered ni-_ ducemcnts and encouragenients by way of bonuses for ciiicieiicy etc_, Yet, iiotwitlistaiidiiig these ad- ditions the fact remains that thesalaries available to teachers and the inducements to remain in the pro- fession are in many cases less attractive than the many other opportunities ivhich are opcn to them and the re- sult, even in ilic face of recent iniprovenients is that a very large proportion of our schools must remain for some time to come in the hands of young teachers who remain in the profession only until a .better vocation presents itself,

is there no remedy? The government has increas-

ed its annual grant for cdticatioii to a point at which it has been accused of extravagancc; has increased it practically to the ilimit of its resources compatible with its obligations in other directions_ 'l`lie remedy then lies in the lniinls of the people. 'l`liose school 'districts which are siiilicieiitly interested in the education of their children must pay the price, must so increase their supplement to the teaclier’s salary as to secure the best teacher available and to retain his services when secured. And such an undertaking on the part ol a

During the sitting of the Legislature the Leader

of the Opposition and his friends carried on vigorous campaigns against the Hon. J. A. McNeill and tlie Hon. Charles Dalton. The first campaign came to a disastrous tcriniiiation' when the Government intro- duced a resolution to give Mr. Bell and his colleagues

tions as iiauseous as their previous allegations were ex_travagant and unfounded, `

The second campaign_ was continued almost to the

principal lieutenants discovered that their own sup- porters were disgustcd with their tactics- inthis case also they concluded with \vords of coniniendation and praise for f\1r. Dalton on a par with their adulatioii of .\lr. McN'eill. All their allegations were utterly base- less, and were made simply for the purpose of belitt- ling Mr. Dalton’s great beiiefactioii in presenting the Dalton Sanatoriuni to the province. We thought with'

their miserable campaign in the columns of the Pio 'V neer_ Our Suiniiiersidc contemporary came out on Saturday with a complete rehash of all the baseless charges made by i\lr. Bell in the course of the late session. I _

It would seein that the Leader of the Opposition

is so constituted that he cannot appreciate unselfish ge- nerosity on the part of others. 1-Iis mind seems to be so absorbed with things material and bace that a spon- taneous act of charitable muniiicence by a politicali opponent raises in him only a spirit of envy» stispicioif and distrust. He evidently has no room in his coin-' position for that iiiagnaiiimity cliaracteristc of the truly cliivalrous,f_all lie sees is the sordid dross; the .spirit aniinating._tlie gift, the essence of love and thouglitfulness for threatened humanity. this to him is as nothing, albeit it is the greatest thing in the world. Milton portrayed the prototype of such ina- terialists in - _ .
