Educational Notes. Speaking of the examination controversy, the London Schoolmaster weil says : “ Examinations in themselyes are not only not injurious, but are absolutely necessary. A good teacher will net proceed beyond a certain point until he has ascertained, by judicious tvats, that his ' work thus far. Frequent examinations are a necessary part of school Work. With chis the strongest opponent of the sompetitive system will, if at least he is 4 practical teacher, heartily concur. Vine gist ot the watter could hardly, in our vpinion, be bet put than by the School- master in the followimg sentences : scholars have mastered tue : ter * Tho real point is whether the education of the child shali be the prime object of the teacher, and examinations one of the means adopted to give th child as good an education as he is capable of receiving; or whether euc- cess at an eXamivation Bhali be the one end aimed at, and the true education ef the chiid be sacrificed tu secure that end.” “The beginning is half the whole,” is a maxim as old as Herod. ‘* Oppose the be- ginnings of evil,” is another cendensation of the wisdum of which is approved by the experience of all ages. The great practical value of these aud similar maxims arises out of the fact that ‘*the child is father to the man,” and that not only the habits formed, but the notions and principles accepted in child- ancient many, hood, are pretty sure to be perpetuated 10 | after life. The antrathfal boy may, by virtue of some great change, - ; 1.3 truthful man, the tricky boy an honoradie man, the idle ! an industrious man, and so forth, but the chances are very hea eyainat sucn transiorn ytions H ik woris of t! ncien phil sOpuer, wi Wiel & ked } * riend i } teach His D 4S, plied, +o, ic ' 1em those things you wou. have them practice wie! they oevome nen, ire perenni ily wise. Ix the course of his reply to the address of the School Board at Kingston, Princi- pal Gre t said : that my wider experience has convinced me that educational centralization and rigidity are bad. The best f system is the comparatively important plac held by the school district and loc would aCViC gradual q is power ot iv “i may say sture in ov al board. I the increage of the 4t boards, both of common and high sehools. In order that changes in this direction imav be effected with safety, the people generally must take an active interest in the matter. And why should they not? Can anything else be tothem of such interest as the education of their own chiidren? Electing tbe fittest men as trustees, they should gratefully acknowledge their services whea they discharge faithfully the duties 0! their high etfice. They should honor the teaciers, make their tenure ef office s psy tiem liberally and promote them fairiy. Above al!, they siould remember that they cannot discharge themselves of all responsi bility for their caildren’s education by tnrow ing it upon the teachers. The home ought te be th+ beat school. Wherever this is rightly uadersto xl, the teachers’ work will be effec tive and comp atively easy.” cule, The main principles of the famous teacher of Wapphingiam School, (Rev. Edward Thring) was: ** That every boy is good for sumething, and that education means to help him to tint out what he is good for and to make the very best of him, without making the capacity of one boy the stand- ard wf another. The principle svunds almost to» obvious for statement. And yet, — as the London tHobejremarks —to put i inte consisteut practice would be to awee;) away the very last relic of cram, to chanye test by examination out of all re- cognition, aad to transiorm a public school froma place for polishing exceptionally clever boys into one for making the best ot every boy individually, whatever might be the quantity or the quality of his brains.” Sir Jul Lubbock writes :— ** Your great object should be to make your- selves more worthy and others more happy.

Sirn,—An ‘* Elector of Ward 4” has asked, through your columns, why I oppose Mr. Davison in the pending civic election ! I desire to answer this question fully, and, I hope, satisfactorily. The blame of my not having done so ere now rests with Mr. Davison and his friends, who, instead of shirkiang public meetings, should have called at least one, as usual, for the purpose of discussing civie p-litics. My prine:pal reason for opposing Mr. Davison, ** who is so pronounced ” respect- ing the enforcement of the Scott Act, is because 1 have been urged to do so by electors who are just as strongly in favor of the Act as is Mr. Davison, who com- plain bitterly of his representation of Ward Four ia other matters.

The herring of our Gulf—yes, our Gulf, or we own all the land around it and all he land in it, and although it is not free from ice for nearly half the year, it is the largest, the stocked, and the most valuable aquarium that has ever been on this its herring, as found in ditferent localities, are of different kinds, and caught at different seasons cf the year. The great herring family are supposed to be mostiy vegetable feeders, and very pro- lite. They become full-sized within their tirst year. Their favorite spawning grounds appear to be even bottom, short. seaweed and shoal water with shelter. Their spawn healthy state, sticks to whatever it touches, and remains there some days be- fore it comes to life, when it disappears. The greatest herring hatchery in the world is Pleasant Bay, in the Magdalen Islands. It is in form almost like a horse- soe, and about nine miles each way- It has been most severely fished in the spawn- ing seagon, now, I may say, for the greater part of the present century, and going oD yet. But they are nothing at all in num- bers now, to what they have been, and no wouder. Up to twenty or twenty-five ‘ears ago no one could belive in such enormous quantities of live herring being in one place at one time, unless by seeing them. The Yankee captain’s story, a5 told 31 years ago, with several oaths, that they were so plenty that spring that they had actually meshed in his chain cable, not being able to get out of each other’s way ; and that his boat grounded one day, the boys got up to shove her off, and it proved to be herring in aboat six feet of water, best pianet. ii a instead of sand. I merely give this for what it is worth, because fish stories are always allowed considerable latitude. But for facts. In Pleasant Bay, ’62, one fine day near the middle of a fine May, when a host of fishermen, sea-gulls and seals had congregated to slay, or salt, or eat the herrins, which, allunconscious of such enemies being near, began to spawn and sport in their grandmother’s great old nursery, When @ young man in a _ boat, auxious to see fish, felt his boat tremble, put out an oar, which would not go down easily, unless plumb; and that man, who is alive yet, could never answer himself the question, which occupied most space under his boat at that time, herring or water, about seven feet deep ? _ But these heaving compact bodies of her- ring are only eccasionally seen, even in he Magdelens, and then ina cdmiparative- t en are belies Mice en cine buthlapiaseeneeteliitenestedeateaantiid.

By heures 1 may be easily conjectured what an enor- mous quantity of herring» has been brought ‘from these Islands, all killed in spawning ‘time. Of late years, several vessels haye gone further north for herring : some few ito Anticosti, and more to the nort h shore ‘on the Labrador side, where herring con- gregate to spawn. But there are none of these places which can compare with what ‘the Magdalens were formerly. | "The sbore catch in the Magdalens never amounted to much, but the bait for cod taken away by tishing vessels consumed hundreds of barrels yearly. The next great herring hatchery of the Gulfiis some of the bays on the west coast ef Newfoundland, such as George’s, Cow, and Port a Port Bays, and some others of minor importanee, in all of which harbors are far better and much larger herring than any others to be found in the Gulf. George’s Bay is 40 miles wide at the mouth, 40 miles long and narrow atthe bottom. One might almost fancy it was made to gather herring there, and then spill them through a deep channel into what is called Flat Bay, in order to spawn there. It is 11 miles long, 14 and 2 miles wide, with shoal water, good bottom and porfect shel- ter. They don’t work like their smaller re- latives in the Magdalens; but spawn on a fine day in spots here and there, making | the water a milky appearance whenever at work, and then fishermen, boats and #ets move and set in these spots, and presto Sbe- fore the second net is set the first one is sunk with fish. Some time during the second day the herring are gone, nets, etc., are removed, and the bottom is paved with dead fish. What will some of our anti- seine men say tothis? Shore catch here, suy 4,000 bbis., schooner catch, 14,000 bbls. for season—spawning season at that— and the rest of this coast, say 13,000 bbis, This would be 27 or 30 years ago, and they are now almost extiuect. There is no other fish, excepting cod, that are so generally scattered in the gulf as herring. They move shoreward to spawn as soon as the ice is gone along all its shores, aud the further east the better herring. Up around Bay Verte, small and poor, around this Is- land much better, the Magdalens better ierave fare, say 400 bbls. expected, | i j od; evea tien } } ars usea which is equal herring these still, west of Newfoundland large and fat.

Although the writer lives within two blocks of the new engine house, and enjoys unimpaired hearing, he heard t **atinkle” of the bell on Saturday moc morning, and would have known nothing of the alarm but for the hurried footsteps of passers-by. This failure of so important a factor in our fire department is, at this juncture, particularly, unfortunate, a3 we are clam- oring for lower fire insurance rates on 2c- count of the introduction of our water- works. What 1s the good of our water- supply if the firemen fail to hear the call to duty? ee L trust our civie rulers will lose ne time in sapplying au efficient electric fire alarm.

From a corrected account of a recent in- erview between labor representatives and Sir John Macdonald, it seems that the pre- mier made no declaration regarding wan- hood suffrage one way or the other; but simply asked the deputation, snilingly, how they would like woman suffrage. The proposed amendments to the Act will not extend the franchise. The Contract Awarded. Orrawa, Jan 20.
