LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

cineca Educational. Sir,—The firet annual report of that “master mind,” the Superintendent of Edu- cation, has been laid before the Legislature and introduced to public notice by the usual comments of the press. I had the pleasure of reading carefully each of the re- ports compiled by his predecessors, all of which were characterized by carefulness of arrangement, clearness of expression, and (as would be expected and should be de manded from one occupying the highest educational position in the Province), cor- rectness of language and phraseology. They were, in fact, a credit, not only to the sev- eral writers, but also to the Government whose officials they were, and to the body of teachers over whom they were placed. But the report just issued is (I unhesitat- ingly declare it), a disgrace to the writer and a lasting reflection on the party zealots whose regard for the interests of education was as nothing compared with the grati- fication of political spleen. it abounds in loose constructions, ungrammatical, ambig uous and redundant expressions and an unpardonable disregard for the correct use of words—such faults as are usually found in schoolboy compositions. Let me illus- trate: On page 8, having stated that every school departmenn in the Province is in operation, he remarks, ‘‘ This is a most gratifying result as nothing can more clearly indicate the growing interest takenin educa- tion by our people than this fact.” As a matter of fact the latter statement is not true. There are many clearer indications of a people’s interest in education—among others regularity of attendance. But I am concerned rather with the construction of the report than with the ideas expressed in it, and view- ing the sentence just quoted from this stand- paint, one cannot help being struck with the numerous redundant expressions, “growing,” **by our people,” and ‘‘tham this fact,” are altogether unnecessary to the sense, a fact patent to any one who knows the first principles of composition. And the ordinary schoel child can inform the Superintendent that the word ‘‘result” is improperly used. On the same page he gives a table to shew the gradual diminution of the numbers of vacaut

schools. This phrase might mean the diminution of the multitude of vacant schools, or of the number of

pupils in the vacant schools. Although this seems somewhat contradictory ; or was it intended that the word numbers should have the meaning it beargin that line of Pope’s, ‘*T lisped in numbers for the numbers came.” In speaking of the increase of average attend- ance on page 10 he saye: *‘ This is particular- ly gratifying ” (which, by the way, is a favor- ite word) “from the fact that one of the greatest difficulties the teacher has to en counter is irregularity of atteudance.” It will be noticed that the source of the Superin- tendent’s gratification is the fact that one of the teachers greatest difticulties is irregularity of attendance, It is rather heartless for him to take delight in the teachers hardships. He must remember that he once moved in the ranks himself. Ou the same page we stumble on the following : **The pupil who sees his classmates advance into higher classes, etc.” A few instances of pupils having been ad- vanced into lower classes would have been next in order. No third class teacher should be guilty of such undisguised tautalogy—to say nothing of the Superintendent of Educa- tion, On page 12 an _ inference is drawn from the decreases in the number of pupils pursuing the common school course as compared with the ‘‘increases” in the number studying the higher branches, as follows: ‘*The work done in our schools is of a higher grade than the precediug year.” One is puzzled to know why the words “decrease” and ‘‘increase” are pluralized. Only two classes of pupils are compared, those studying the common branches, and those the higher. The superintendent seems to get sadly mixed in the distinction between singular and plural. But mark the con- clusion, viz., that, the work done in 1891 was of a higher grade than what? Not the work of the preceeding year, but the pre- ceeding year itself. It would require more than the subtle reasoning of a scholastic philosopher to convince the ordinary reader that a comparison can be established between two things so obviously unrelated. These few instances will give some slight idea of the character of the Superintendent's Report. They can easily be multiplied, but 1 do not wish to trespass too far on your space in one issue, and so with your permission will return to the subject in a few days.

-_—. - Our Wise City Council.

Srr,—lf anything more were necessary, after the late Water Act passed, to prove the utter incompetency and meddlesome nature of our newly elected Citv Fathers, it is now before us in their latest legislation where bowling alleys are dealt with. All honor to them in trying to shield our young men and boys from the temptation of strong drink. But in the manner in which they handled bowling alleys they have gone into a realm in which they seem to be about as much at home as a bull is in a china shop. Let me tell these gentlemen that to- day in the United States and in such Can. adian cities as Montreal there is no more fashionable exercise for both Iadies and gentlemen than bowling. But what happens in this little city of ours? Not content with putting an almost prohibitory license on this very healthy sport, they inform us that no bowling alley shall be operated near any church or schoolhouse, nor shall any boy under 16 years of age bowl. The utter child- ishness of the thing! They might just as well enact a—what will we cal} it? City Father Law, that no boy under 16 years of age shall be a member of the Athletic Association or join a gymnasium, or for that matter play football, or tennis, or bockry. Look for example at the bowling alleys in the skating rink, which were 2) ways operated in a quiet, orderly manner, and where very many of the men and young boys of this city and also a number of young ladies have at different times bowled. These alleys are quite close to the Baptist Church. Does our wise City Council think they have the power to close them up? lt is only ancther instance of putting the foo) on the horse’s back, Have these whilom legislators not more appropriate work to perform in looking after our streets,

and in attending to their legitimate council duties, than in casting around for cheap

popularity with certain cranks by passing enactments which if brought before any of our judges would be sustained in just about the same manner ss a sieve would hold water. BowLer.

‘Sir,—A friend of mine put a copy of the Pioneer of the 11th inst., in myhands yes- terday, calling my attention to the follow- ing question asked by Mr. Bentley of Mr. McLe **'To lay on the table a statement showing the amount of contracts entered into with Mr. Edward Henry for repairs on Morris Bridge, at Granville, Lot 21, (Queen's Co., in the year 1891, the names of the securi- ties, the amount paid to Mr. Henry, the date of payments, and the amount row due on this contract.””. Mr. McLean’s answer is this: ** That there is no balance due Mr. Henry.” Now Mr. McLean knew when be made this statement that it was not true, for a balance of $66 still remains, which he would not pay. I may just ask the ques- tion--why did Mr. Mclean keep Mr. Henry in hot water for the last ten months by only offering him $500 instead of $650, which he gave him the other day, and which was the cause of his death? If he was entitled to $650 on the 30th of March, was he not entitled to it on the 20th June last? This is what seems to a mystery to every right-thinking man. Mr. Henry was entitled to the $716 when he tinished his contract, and Mr. McLean and his colleagues ought to see their way clear to pay the balance of $66 with inter- est to the widow whom they have been the means of making one. I noticed some let- ters in THE EXaMINER last autuma which I thought were to the point, but I never saw any attempt by Mr. McLean or anyone else to answer them. ‘This convinced me that something was wrong.

Now, another question: Why did Me- Lean come up $150 on the 30th of March, and still keep $66 back, or give Mr. heary aright tosue? Anyone can see the point. It would cost Mr. Henry the $66 to contest it in court, and perhaps be kept ou: of his money for a year. Mr. McLean knew that Mr. Heary could see through it, and would be in pocket to take the $650 rather than goto court for the bal- ance of $66. Hoping that this disgraceful affair will be settled at once, I am, etc.,

Granville, April 14, 1892.

Glenfinnan Debating Society.

A large and appreciative audience as- sembled in the Glenfinnan Schoolroom on the evening of Wednesday, April 6th, to

\take part in a Cuncert by the members of

the Society at the close of the debating season.

The Concert, consisting of readings, recitations, dialogues, etc., plentifully in- terspersed with music, was on the whole eminently successful, and reflects great credit on the participants,

The musical part of the programme, made up of duets, avlos, choruses, etc., under the direction of Messrs. Jos. Power and David McDonald, was well selected and rendered, and formed a pleasing fea- ture of the evening’s entertainment. The solos by Mr. John Ryan were very highly spoken of by all present. In the literary part, special mention may be made of Mr. Daniel Stewart, whose comic selections, delivered in his inimitable style, received from all well-merited praise.

The success of this Concert was but a continuation of the success which has at- tended the Society since its organization in the early part of last winter. Since then weekly meetings have been held, at which many important subjects have been dis- cussed, such as ‘‘Science or Literature : which has conferred the greater benefits on man?’ ‘The Press or the Platform: which is the better means for constitutional agitation?” ‘*The Warrior or the States- man: which has done more for his coun- try 7” ete.

The most prominent feature of the sea- son was the Union Debate by the Clubs of Pisquid, Monaghan Road and Glenfinnan, held in the Glenfinnan Schoolroom on Wodnesday, Feb. 24th. The subject pre- viously agreed upon for discussion on this occasion was *‘ The Reader or the Travel- ler: which acquires the greater amount of knowledge ?”

James H. Cemmiskey, Eeg., was appointod chairman for the evening, and on coming for- ward made a few appropriate remarks which were well received. The discussion was open- ed on the side of the reader by Mr. W. J. O'Donnell, who was assisted by Messrs. Daniel Birt, J. J. McDonald, Joho Birt and J. M. Reardon, while the side of the traveller was ably upheld by Messrs J. T. Garland, who made the opening speech on this side, Joseph Power, David Birt, L. P. McLaughlin and George Robertson, who, after protracted and animated discussion, succeeded in wresting the decision from their opponents. At the close of the debate Mr. David Birt came forward and delivered a stump speech amid great ap- plause. A vote of thanks was tendered the chairman for his valuable services in the chair after which a very enjoyable evening was brought to a close.

All present at those meetings felt perhaps, more than ever before, the want of a hall providing suitable accommodation for an audience on such occasions. We trust that ere long this long-felt want will be a thing of the past, and that some of our energetic and menses men will take this matter into consideration, and, ite success being assured, carry it to a successful termination.
