For the protection and Billlport of the dependents of the sol- diers who have gone to the front, or who are enlisted in any service in this war. a Canadian fund has been -establlshed\known as the Patriotic Fund. About $11,000 has been paid in to the treasurer of tiiat fund in voluntary contributions, but that did -not-measure nor nearly measure- the responsibility oi this province for its share. and after consultation with the Committee having the matter in cliarge~the Government finally deter- -mined ,to add fifteen thousand dollars .to the gift. That even, remember, does not measure the responsibility of this province. The fund contains mil- 'liofis subscribed by generous people oi other parts of Canada, and millions more.wili be required if the war con- tinueis; and while those contributions to which I refer have been made by this province and brought to their proportionate standard, yet that cun- not for one moment be considered as the end. Nothing will end it, but the end of the \var. As long as our people., during the continuance of the war, will ` require the support that would have been given tiiein by those who have gone to the front, just so long must we beprepnred to .place our resources individual and provincial, nt their dis- posnl, and to see that no want nor suffering shall come upon the depend- dents of the brave men who are per- . \\\\\\ I ` IlllIZI{K§§\l\\“\ lil A further contribution was required he grain to the front, aniouiitiiig in round u' advance to each one it sum thai, according to the estimates of their ofilcers, would meet their necessary 1:- and actual expenses. That sum F0 amounted to about $10 er head special cases. In round figures ilie contribution to that fund is $1,800. ‘ Other contributions have been made which run up to over $20,000, all of which. of course, could not have been anticipated, none of which was voted by this House, lint all of which you will be asked at this session to ratify and confirm. The Government felt that there was not a member of this Assembly \vlio would not be ready and willing to support any action that might be taken that would be in the line of its duty. Now I may pass from that subject to more domestic matters. THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. i<`ii'st of all are the public schools. Tiiero is not much to add to the stato- meiit coiitniiicd in Ilia Iloiiour's speech. The whole system had been sliding steadily down hill until we had reached a poliit lower than when the Public Schools Act went into force in 1877-attendance lower. average sal- aries of teachers lower. the number of vacant schools greater, higher class schools fewlir. Altogether a lack of interest iiisrked the old system..

With his education in a country school. his experience as a teacher in a country school and higher-class schools until he reached the very front rank of his profession, he had acquired that know- ledge without which no man could successfully grapple the educational problem of this province. He has devoted to his work talents above the average, and has iaboured without stint'or sparing. and the result has been just what you would expect from faithful and competent service. For- tunately, through tlie plan of co- operation between the Dominion Gov- ernment and the Provincial Govern- ment, the common school system and agricultural education have been going together, and instead of two separate staffs of inspectors, one Domiiilon and one provincial, we have one Govern- ment staff, so that eaclrinspector has a group of fifty schools instead oi a hundred schools, us formerly. This enables lilni not merely to do the work of an inspector and see what the teacher is doing. but to take a direct and personal interest in the work of every school, to take hold of young and inexperienced teachers and assist them by his counsel, and to remedy defects that would otherwise make his work of little or no value. I need not enlarge on that subject. Without the aid that skilled teachers so employed could give, it would have been im- possible for us to give that quick uplift to the system that it. so greatly re- quired. bl THE SUMMER SCHOOLS. The teaching in the summer schools, where our teucliers are assembled, where ull their expenses are paid, and where the best instructors that money can prociire are placed nt their dis- posal i`or ten days or a fortnight in each year, has also equipped our teachers us they have not been equip- ped in times past. They como to their work with tho greatest zeal, and I don't lhiiik a, more eiicouruging sight could meet the eyes of anyone inter- ested in the great cause of education, than to see these teachers at their work-to see the zeal and energy with which tiicy enter it, confident that they will go back to their schools with renewed energy and that their work throughout the your will have vastly increased in value. Ono of the pro- mises that have been made to tho people has thus been fulfilled, in the co-ordination of agricultural educa- tion with the common school system. Another was the relief to the scholars and parents i`roin the burdensome charges in resgect to school books. Now, we have only inaugurated that system. We have it iii charge of a teacher oi' long experience and of the right kind of experience, knowing what a burden it is, as I have known, to be one of a large family, where the cost of books was almost u nightmare to the parents. He has had that ex- pericnco, and also tho experience of ii highly successful teacher, and so hc knows what he is about. The result is that to-day geographies that form- erly cost 80 cents can be purchased for 60, writing paper that formerly cost 10 is bought for 6; and as far as pos- sible a reduction has been made down to the lowest. scale upon school books mid school supplies. As far as pos- sible, I say, for it has not been possible to cover the ground entirely. Another advantage of the system is the oppor- tunity it gives for providing for the cliildrcn of those \vho are not nble to bill’ books at all. Under this system, on the report ot' any inspector, where parents are not able to obtain the books we supply them free. Not many calls of that kind have been made, but where they are made they are ground- cd upon absolute necessity; ami if there were only fifty ciiildren in the year who had this placed at their dis- posal-thc means of education that would otherwise be denied-the sys- tem would be justified, and largely justified, upon that ground alone. It is all very well for us to talk about compulsory education, but how are you going to compel people who cun- not buy books for their children io send tiiciu to school? And why should we allow those who need education most. to have their opportunities pass unimproved and have them go through ilfo maimed? For that is what it amounts to. Those who cannot have at least a fair education go like wound- ed men through life; they are not able to compete on a fair basis with their more fortunate fellows wiio have ob- tained some education. ‘ AN IMPORTANT DEPARTURE. Such questions as I leave uncover- ed now will be dealt with later when we como to the Budget. The speech forosliadows some important legisla- tion tliat will bo subinltled to your consideration. Before I close I wish to ssy one word on this clause. that " My Govem- ment has under consideration the establishment of a provincial labora- tory, equipped with modern appliances for ascertaining and testing diseases in iiumnn beings and animals, ami that special efforts will be niudc to further safeguard the health of our peoplo." Now, this action has been taken upon the best medical advice we could obtain. We have never realised in this .province-we have never as a people realised how necessary it is that combined action should be taken to safeguard and to protect the public health. Many ofiorts have been made, and all of them with good results, towards that end, but no wide and comprehensive metiiod has ever been taken up, and it is now forced upon us if we are to do our duty. The first step that was taken was the construction of a sanitarium in connection with the Falconwnod Asy- _lum and lnhrmmry adjoining.. We soon found, upon coming into power, that there were cases-hard, sad cases- hore and there throughthe country. of .poor people who had to live somo- whsre, but who had no means for their own support. The hospitals would not take them. they were not qualified for admission to the asylum, and in the poorhouse there was no room for in- fectious disease. We found them in the houses of charitable people, al- ways, strange to say. in the houses of the poor. generally in houses full' an A"-‘Al _ z, _ ' ' ' V to the power to be generous. I ro- member one case where tiiere was a family of eight , keeping s person afflicted with consumption. Ile was but a distant relation, not within the limits of the law to be imposed upon them as a. duty, but out of sheer charity they took him. What could be done? lt would seem as if there would be no place in the world for him but that place where his life was a poison and a danger to all around him. To meet that kind of require- ment this institution was built. 1t,ls not large, but it has been adequate to relieve all such cases up, to the present time. MR DALTON'S PHILANTHROPV. That was but one short step. Since that we know that, through generosity tha has not been paralleled in this province, the Dalton Ssnatorium is in progress of completion. In addition to the original gift Mr Dalton has made -I don't kiiow-if anyone outside the Government has any knowledge of it -a further contribution of the sum of $10,000 towards that work. (Cheers.) Now that is a line of hope. We must go further and do more. In our public schools the opportunity for contagion exists unlimited. Ono sick child, one consumptlve child, under the conditions that so conimoiiiy pre- vail is liable to infect possibly the whole school. Now, what should we do in that regard? I have great hope, amounting to absolute confidence. in what the women's institutes will do in eliminating the main causes, the main ground-work of the propagation and spread of contaglon in the schools. I have said repeatedly. the men have had charge of the schools i'roln the earliest days and they have failed bc- cuuse they live out of doors most of their time, and because the house is the place of last resort to the busy farmer. But to the women, who live in the houses and know what comfort and sanitation mean, the problem is up to them continuously; and besides tllut they think more ot' their children und their cliildi'en's health than men do. And now, with their orgaiiisaiioii, which. wc hope, will spread over the whole pi~ovlnce,.i believe wo will have a mitigation oi' the undesirable con- ditions that exist.
