TO OUR LEGISLATOBI The seriousness of the educational situation in our province was re- Lected bv the Premier in his recent address in reply to the Speech from the Throne, when he intimated that in order to keep our schools open it is necessary, for the duration of the war to place those teaching on a permit on the same basis as regular teachers so far as a sliding scale of salaries for years of service is concerned. We have no quarrel with this move. Those former surrendered their ordinary pursuits to keep alight the torch of learn- ing in our province are deserving of the very best treatment possible. But the fact remains that had our legislators accepted in full the plan for salary increases to teachers as proposed by the Teachers Federa- tion. and supported by the Cltlzans Education Committee. they would not. now be faced with the scri- 0H5 problem of keeping our schools ren. Many of those forced to leave teaching "for more lucrative posi- tlons" would have been retained ln It ls not too late now to right an injustice. not only to teachers, but more particularly to those children suffering as s result of this short sighted policy. The Premier spoke of "the main- tenance and necessary protection" of the highways. What about the maintenance and r pro - Lion and development of the brains of our future citizens? If our legislators have the inter- ests of education at heart, and are concerned with the future develop- ment of our province. they can prove it in a very practical way —by granting the teachers a living wage, and by having the courage of their convictions in lnauguratin a sys- tem of Larger Units of sc ool and administration in this province dur- ing the present seslon of the House. The New Brunswick legislatue. I un- derstand, have announced this for- ward step in educational improve- ment. Why not P E 1.?

THE TWO GENTLEMEN I VERONA There are, no doubt. several teach- ers in the rural areas who have 110 access to a. copy of Lamb's Tale-i From Shakespeare, or who have no available summaries 0f the Plays at hand. In the hope that these sum- lmarles of the Plays might find some appreciation, 1 have attempted 1m summarize but briefly the vari- »ous Plays that we study 1n 300k 1V, Canada Book of Prose and Verse. These will, of necessity, be very brief and give, at the most. lonly a. rough idea of the plots of each play. The first selection we have is The Two Gentlemen of Verona. The main characters are: Valentine, a gentleman of Verona; Proteus, his friend; Julia with whom Proteus is much in love; Silvia, the daughter of the Duke of Milan; The Duke; and Thurio, who is engaged to Silvia and who is the Father's choice for the daughter. Valentine and Proteus have grown up together in Verona and tare bosom pals. What one knows, ithe other knows; therefore they have lno secrets between them. This ‘bautiful friendship is soon to end because Valentine is about to leave for Milan to be presented to the "court there; Proteus refused to ac- icompany his friend because he will not leave his true love, Julia. Val- entine takes his leave of his friend and sets out for Milan. Upon his [arrival he lg presented to the Duko land the court at which time he ‘meets fair Silvia. The entire attitude of Valentine towards women changes --so much so that it brings a com- ment from his servant. speed. The section where Speed tels his master that he is in love ls given in our books for all to read. fa Silvia ls also smitten and returns the love of Valentine. but the Duke will never agree to the marriage so the two lovers plan to elope. Just l as the clandestine adventure is to be grerpetrated, Proteus arrives from ‘Verona sent here bv his father in 1' the Heartz Hall at 10.00 A. M. Music l the hope that Proteus would forget Will be under the direction of the 1 Julia, at least for the time being. ‘Valentine takes his friend into his confidence lmd tellg Proteus what he intends to do. Ho then sends Proteus to Silvia with a note. Pro- ir clzlred that all would be well eus, upon seeing ths fair Silvia, promptly forgets about Julia and falls in love with Silvia; thereafter he devises a means to stop the elopment by telling the Duke of the proposed plan. The angry Duke banishes Valentina from Milan, Now Proteus 1,5 free to pursue his own intents without any hindrance from his former friend, The Duke. how- ever. has promised Silvia to e. young gent email called Thurlo; but both his suit and that of Proteus spurned by the faithful Silvia. Meanwhile Julia, hearing no word from her lover since he left Verona, decided to got to Milan and see what had happened to him. But not wish- ing to make her love look ridicul- ous, she disguised herself in the garb of a young man and in this apparel came to Milan. After many hardships, she secured work as the personal errandboy of her former lover. One of her first tasks was to take a ring to this Silvia —the very ring that she had lven her lover a; a rememb flu: of er. Thus she was abe to find out that her lover was being false to her. All this while Silvia turns a deaf ear to the pleas of her lovers and plans to es- cape and find Valentine. She does escape and leaves Mlian; but out- side the town she ls captured b a band of robbers and taken beore their chief who turns out to be ndne other than Valentine Hearing about her escape, Proteus ‘and Thurio set dill: in pursuit of Silvia. but they too are captured by the robbers and taken before the chief Here the whole vile plot of Proteus is exposed but instead of being cross. valentine pardoned his o'd friend; whereupon Proteus. struck by remorse. wept. and de- if Ju'ia were only here. At this Julia threw off her disguise and was re- united with Proteus. Just then the Duke came along. and realizing what had happened, he offered to pardon all the outlaws. and Valen- tine too giving, at the same time, the permission for Valentine to marry Silvia. Proteus and Julia were also married at the same time and everything ends happily. Summarised by Ralph Madleall Prince Street school, Charlottetown. THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS In the following paragraphs wlilfn tum drlvenuoglt be found s brief summary of the more important events of the differ- ent chapters of this famous book. The summary Ls not intended to take tthe place of leading the book but is ‘intended rather to fix the story in lthe pupils’ mind, l The story was written by James (American I789- 1851) in 1826, and is one of “The leather-Stocking Tales’ dealing with Indian life in the forest and wilder- -ness. The year in which the events to! the story took place was 1757. (The "scene" of most of the story laid in the forest around Lake Champlain alxi adjoining waters. Lenni-Jsenopfi. Lenope. Delawares, Wapanachlki, and Mohlcans, all mean the same people, or tribes of the same stock. The lnerlque, the Maquas. the Mingoes. and the Iroquois, though lnot strictly the same were politically ‘united and opposed to the Mohicans. Harlcan (The Tall of the Lake). the name of a former India tribe. is applied to Lake George through- out the storv. The French name for the safe lake was "Lac du Saint Sacrament. " CHAPTER I The English forces in America have not yet recovered from the effect of Braddoclcs defeat near Fort Duquesne. General Webb com- manded Fort Edward and Colonel Munro commanded Fort William Henry, lvfagua. an Indian runner, brings news to Webb that the French. under Montcalm. are ap- proaching. The next day Webb sends 1500 men to help Munro. Munro's daughters, Cora and Alice. are sent under escort of Major Duncan Hey- ward and guidance of Magus to their father. David Gamut, a psa'm leader. and the switch-tailed mare Mmlrlaln) and foal are lntroduzed. CHAPTER II The girls, Heyward, and Magus continue their journey. They are joined by David and sing for a time. Hayward states that Magua ls a Canadian who ls serving with the Mohawks. He had been dealt with "rigidly" by Colonel Munro. An Indian appears among the bush- es. and suggests to the reader the treachery of Magua. CHAPTER III A few miles west of Hevwar-Ps party. I-Iawkeye. a white scout. c" Chlngachgook. a Mohlcan Chief rm-r eagamore. are discussing the hls- torv of the country. The Moblmns had ccme from the west and had driven out the lfaguas. They were. by the Dutch and were at time the story takes place, almost annihilated. The white man and his companion were later joined by Uncas, Ohlngaoh- goolcs son and The Inst of the Mo- nlcans. Uncas had just killed a deer by means of an arrow and knife when they hear the footfalls of Heyward’: party. CHAPTER IV Hawkeye confers first with David and then with Duncan. He finds out that they have lost their way. Duncan tells Hawkeye that he is a major in the sixtieth Royal Am- ericans. They suspect Magun (Le Renard Subtil) of treachery but fail to prevent his escape. CHAPTER V They try to capture Magus but fall. Hawkeye wounds him slightly. The scout and Indians decide to guide the party. Mirlam‘s colt is slain. and the. Indians hide the horses in a shaded spot. l-Iawkaege takes Hayward and the girls to s shore near the foot of Glenn's. Then he brings the Indians, too. CHAPTER. V] The scout leads the party into the secret cavern of Glenn's on an ls and in the Hudson River. Ohlngachgook guarded the farther end of the cavern. Opening out of the cave was another cavern similar to the first. Here Duncan, Alice and Cora retired for the night after hav- ing had a supper of venison, David had led in a sing-song. All ulits were covered by blankets. Twice during the night the travellers were disturbed by s mysterious noise. CHAPTER VII The party was again startled by the mysterious noise. I-Ieywue identified it as the shriek which s horse will give in agony. The sudden abandonment by the wolves of their prey warned Hawkeye that the en- emy was near. Hayward placed Sassafras in the chasm between the two caverns. Indians attack st dawn. David was wounded. A. small party of five was defeated by the scout‘: party. Uncae saved Heywsrtfl life.

A council was called and the Indians spread out to look more closely. At length one of their number broke through the thicket and espied the fort. He called one of his companions and together they warily “approached the fort while those l do held their breath. They discovered the mound containing the boxes of the Indians slain on this spot years before. and withdrew. They told their companions what th had seen and Brndually wi drew from the spot. After they had gone, the party inside the fort continued on their wsv to William Henry, ' CHAPTER 1| Travelling all night, the part reached at dawn n small stream which opened into s wnd- Th1! place had be the scene of many battles and w called the "bloody pond."

The presence of the sentry inform- ed Hnwkeye that the French had surrounded Wm. Henry and as day- light was coming, they would have to have somewhere to hide. This was no sooner decided than Haw- keye led the way up one of the mounhlns. Here they could over- look the camps of the French as well as Wm. Henry, thus giving them s chance of planning how to gain shelter of the Iibrt. Under ~cover of fog. the party proceeded down the mountain side and gain- ed sdmittsnc to the fort and saf- ty. CHAPTER ll lbrt Wm. Hem-y was in a dang- erous position being OOIIIDICtGIJ lur- rounded by French and Indians. For a few succeeding days after the party's arrival at the fort Ill was quits: eseh side scanning to take ‘edvsntsgs of the lull to engage in some I rte and recreation.

The Eng] began to abandon the place while the In- Allce and Cora bade good-bye Duncan and Munroe. who promised they would speedily return for the girls after the army had been saf- ely escorted on its way. As soon as the English had left the fort. the pillage of the unmoveables began. On Indian seeing a bright colored shawl, which was wrapped about a. sleeping infant, snatched the babe from the mother's arms and dashed is head against a stone; after which he killed the mother. This was the signal for the savages to begin and the horrible slaughter began. During the turmoil Munroe went to Montclam t0 be for help while not very far from he spot where the two leader; conferred, Cora and Alice were kidnapped by Maaua and along with David were carried a safe distance from Fort William Henry. The massacre did not stop till all the English were killed. This massacre has till this day been a blot on the record of the great Montcalm CHAPTER l8 It is sunset three day; later when five figure; emerge from the path leading to the Hudson upon plain where the dead lie moudering. Anxiously they search for something among t e dead. Finally Unc; dis- covers a piece of scarf and draws the attention of the others w it. It was recognized as a fragment of the scarf Cora had been wearing on the fatal day. Closer examination of the trail proved that Cora, Alice, and David along with Magus had pass- er‘ that way. Duncan was anxious to set out for Canada immediately to rescue Cora and Alice, but he was restrained by the scout whqsaid they would spend the night at the smouldering fort and begin their journey next day. CHAPTER II The party spent the night in the ruins of Ibrt William Henry. An Oneida Indian made an attempt of’ the .lfe of Chlngachgook, but was killed and scalped by Uncas. Munro retlred- to a hut built by Uncaa Hawkeye won the‘ debate which had taken place around the camp flre. The debate. probably about the course of action on the morrow, was not understood by Duncan be. cause it was spoken in the Mohlcan language CHAPTER 20 Early the next morning I-Iawkeye, Dunca" and Munroe made their way to the lake where Uncas and is father were waiting for them with a canoe. No word was spoken until they were safely out on the lake; then Duncan demanded an explanation of their hurried depar- ture. He was told that there were Indians in the vicinity. probably some remnant of the band that st- them when they left the Port. The proceeded carefully until they reac ed ‘the end of the lake.

No words were spelt en for some time till an old chief began to sneak. He asked Duncan some questions and was informed that Duncan was a French Doctor sent by the Great White Father to cure the ills of hi; children. Further questions would have been asked had not the assembly been interrupted bv y-"s comln from the woods. It dld not require much thinking on the part of Duncan to interpret this as the arrival of s successful war party ready for the torture to begin. Two objects were the centre of interest, one cast-down the other haughty one made a dash for the woods However he was re-captured and brought bacq. The chiefs then gath- ered in council to decide the fate of both youths and Duncan went along to hear the verdict He was much startled when he recognized the haughty youth was Uncas. The decision a; to what was to be dons f0 Uncas was left tlll the next mom- ing, however punishment Was meted out to the cowardly Huron youth who was made to stab himself ov a knife given him by one of the chiefs The young cowards name was Reed- that-Bends.
