necessary .prices and we had to charge you
BF a fair profit, .of course. But we resented
 'and fought' the high prices far more, we
think, than our customers did.
Today, while pre-war prices are not to

which points to a more comfortable future
for all of us-the`time when a dollar will

riate to the price.

` We’ve been watching for the turn of
the tide-waiting to buy the new merchan-

Now the wanted goods are here and we paid
the later and much lower prices for them-
so will you, when you buy in this store.
` Maybe you thought it negligent that
we should be out of certain wanted things,
during the past season--so did we. But we
wouldn’t buy at the high prices; -for we
knew you wouldn’t-especially as now you
DON’T NEED to PAY THE HIGH PRICES.
` We waited. Perhaps we made you wait; but

Perhaps you've seen the new models
-or at least pictures of them-and you
know something about why we are so cn-
thusiastic about these new coats.
There is a richness about the fabrics
-there is such witchery about the styles,
the graceful lines, the clinging, wrappy
folds, the fetching collars, the fur trimm-
ings.
There is more art than ever before-
more refinement-more of the made-to-or-
der effect, than has ever been seen before
in ready-to-wear apparel for women.
Of course, many charming models are
here in only one or ftwo garments of a
kind, and to get the one that is exactly
suited to your figure and taste, you should
choose now. while t_he assortment is at its
very best. Selling for $22.50. $25.00. $30.00.

THE 1'. \\'. COLLEGE MUDDLE. °
_______..-
T The resignation of the teaching staff of Prince
-of Wales College, briefly referred to in yesterday’s
Guardian is nothing short of a calamity. Wehad hop-
ed that at the eleventh hour, or even after it, the
government through whose criminal policy of drift
lthis thing happened, would have found some means
. of averting it but the government organ came out
last evening throwing the whole blame upon the
teachers and with apparent helplessness attempting
to justify the government.
The teachers, it says, “have chosen an unfortun-
ate time to strike!" Unfortunate surely, but more un
fortunate still is the fact that the government had
chosen three whole m_onths in which to treat with
'silent contempt the request of the teachers for an
increase of salary. Had they treated Principal Rob-
ertson and his staff with common decency, had they
offered to discuss the matter with them, had they
even courteously refused their request and express-
ed regret that they could not afford to pay the in-
crease demanded, we feel assured that some compro-
mise or some arrangement would have been reach-
Ved. But they treated them' with silent conteinpt, ex-
'pressing neither regret nor hope. The teachers did
what self respecting. men and women would have
done under similar circumstances, what ex Superin-
tend Campbell did when he was given similar treat-
ment.
In justification of the refusal to increase these
salaries the Patriot states that “in 1899 the salaries
for the P.W.C. staff totalled $4,900. Today they total
$9,750." It might have added to this valuable bit of in
formation that in 1899, and as recently as 1919, the
salaries of the members of the legislature totalled
$6,000 and that today they total $15,000. It should
in fairness have stated that the increase of $4,850 was
largely absorbed in the salaries of three new teach-
ers added to the staff and, therefore the increase was
very far below the 100 per cent the Patriot claims
they have received. It might also have stated that
in 1899 the city of Charlottetown paid in supplements
to its teachers $4,315.70 and last year it paid them
$15.778.50, an increase of nearly 400 per cent. It
imight also have stated that P.W.C. salaries in 1899
amounted to $4,900; they had barely been doubled in
1920.1 _ ,
“Last spring,” says the Patriot, “the government
increased the salaries of the College staff by $100
each to Professors Steele, Blanchard, Bennett and
Smith." This is not correct. The college teachers re-
‘ceived no increase last spring or since.
Neither is the Patriot within the bounds of truth
when it states that “the premier asked the teachers
to wait till the end of this year before pressing for
further increase.” The teachers were asked last
spring to wait till after the meeting of the legislature
when matters would be arranged to their satisfac-
tion. They waited, but the government never offered
satisfaction or even consideration.
The matter now is in statu quo. The college is
due to re-open on Tuesday. There are over 200 stud-
ents who have paid their fees, secured their board-
ing houses and started work. Will the college be op-
cned? What are the students expected to do?
Whatever the outcome may be it is daily becom-
ing clearer that everything the government touches
it blasts. This is the last of successive blows at our
educational system at the hands of the Bell govern-
ment. Heaven only knows what is yetin store.

One of the peculiarities of these restless days is
the feverish haste with which we are seeking to set
matters right. It is generally accepted that the
“ world is out of joint, that some foreign evil spirit has
invaded its hitherto peaceful, self-satisfied activities
and, like bees into whose hive an intruder has enter-
ed, we are feverishly endeavouring to eject it. Un-
like thc bees, all of which with one accord attack the
Invader, we relegate the job to others; we organize
committees, associations, reform societies; we sub-
scribe with more or less liberality to any fund cal-
culated to _fight the enemy. This done, our machines
set in motion, the funds subscribed and paid, we
complacently fold our hands and persuade ourselves
that we are reforming the world. It is a pitiful illusion
We cannot transfer our individual responsibili-
ty to organizations, to professional reformers, to so-
cieties for prevention or for promotion. The world is
being reformed slowly, all too slowly because of our
haste and our improvised reform machinery, We
have become impatient with _the progress of the
church and, in order to speed it up, we have loaded it
with extraneous organizations which in too many in-
Istances are sapping its life’s blood,
_ The W0I`ld_lS not _going to_be reformed in a day
or in a generation; it is not going to be reformed by
patented machinery. It will_be reformed and beau-
,tified_ and made safe _to live in when we realize our

tually, by us individually, not by organizations or

Buy Your Fox Wire From the lsland’sl
Biggest Importers
Realizing that there would be big expansion in our great
Island fur industry this year we imported from Rylands, Ltd.
the largest makers of fox wire netting in the world, two ship-
ments which aggregate a total greater than any ever imported
by any firm in Canada.
‘ In buying Rylands wire we bought the best that money
could buy and customers to whom we have made deliveries are
all perfectly satisfied, In buying Rylands you are not taking any
chances. It is wire that will wear. _It has been tried, tested and
approved by the oldest ranchers in this province. It is scientific-
a ly tempered and galvanized both before and after weaving
so that it will not bend or break like cheaper varieties, When
you build your ranch with it you build it for all time. No chan-
ces of escape or loss of foxes wh ire it is used, The rolls open out
flat, are easyto erect and will give it better appearance and last
longer than any other brand of fox netting.
Every day we are filling orders from ranchers in this pro-
vince manfy o whom are ho ding over a large part of their crop -
of young oxes, knowing that by keeping them another year the \
increased value of t_he fur will offset the cost of keep.
Write us for prices or plafce your order and we will make
