BONNELL, 114 Queen Street, ’ Charlottetown, Nov. 26, 1886—4i caw LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. a ° School Inspection, Srr,—When Mr. Cain examined our school on Monday, 20th inst., he found it (so he said) in a very unsatisfactory con- dition. Now, I think it was as much the fault of the inspector as of the scholars, and if he had examined us in the branches we were studying, he would have found us far more proficient than he did. For instance, he never as much as mentioned Latin, French, Geometry or Algebra; and, as for Geography, : might as well have left it alone. One of the first questions he asked was, ‘What kind of a soil has Brazil?’ The answer was, ‘Very fertile.” ‘‘Is it much cultivated /’-—‘‘No, sir.” ‘*For what reason ;’—‘‘Because of the indolence of the people and the bad government.” ‘*But,” said he, ‘if the best farmers in the world were placed there, they could not cultivate it, because the sun is so hot that nothing will grow there.” Now, Campbell’s Atlas, the prescribed authority on the subject for our school, says: ‘‘There is no country so favored by nature as Brazil, and yet so little improved ; and that three-fourths of the whole population are Indians and negroes,” which would seem to explain it far better than Mr. Cain’s theory. As for Arithmetic, 1 think if he had given us a few exercises in stocks, commission, fellow- ship, or cube root, instead of one or two puzzling exercises in vulgar fractions and circulating decimais, he would have shown more sense and fitness for the office he now holds. For the branches that we did cor- rectly, we received no commendation—it not being even mentioned in the address. I for one (and I express the opinion of the school) do not call that a fair examination, and trust that when Mr. Montgomery hon- ours us by visiting our school, that we can show him that we are not such blockheads as we will be represented in the report. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for the space in your valuable paper, | remain, Yours truly, A ScHOLAR. Lower Montague, Dec. 23, 1886. Union Read Concert. On Thursday evening last the members of the Division of Sons of Temperance at Union Road, assisted by the York and Winsloe Road Divisions, held a concert in their hall at Union Road. The neat little hall was tastefully decorated with ever- greens and mottoes of ‘* Weleome,” and Christmas greeting, ina manner that -re- flects great credit on the taste and enter- prise of those having the affair in charge. The room was crowded with people from that and the surrounding settlements. The chair was ably filled by Mr. Wm. Mellett. The programme consisted of choice chorus- es, solos, readings, recitations and dia- logves, which were well rendered through- out, and received hearty applause from a generous audience. While the lighter pieces provoked the heartiest laughter, the more solemn efforts of the performers did not fail at times to elicit deep and _ soul- moving responses from some of the more susceptible occupants of the back seats. Altogether the ccncert was a grand success, and much credit is aue to all whe took part. tion. The semi-annual examination of “the above school took place on Thursday, the 23rd inst., in the presence of school trustees, boaseholders and a few visitors.4 The scholars were examined in the vari- ous branches taught in our common schools, and by their clear and prompt answers to all questions asked them during the course of the examination, showed clearly that those branches were studied with preverser- ance and zeal. To comment personally on any of the scholars, from the senior to the junior classes, would be incompatible with that justice that they one and all merited, suflice to say that the scholars are an honor to the District, and certainly reflect credit on their teacher, Miss Georgina MelInnis, and ranks her one of the foremost among the many pains-taking and energetic teach- ers in this Province, whose glorious mission is to keep the sacred lamp of learning burning. At the close of the examination John A. McDonald, Esq., made a few short and spirited remarks respecting the progress made in the school during the last six mouths. He was followed by other residents of the District, who warmly complimented the teacher on the efficiency of the school. A VisrTor. Grand Tracadie, Dec. 27, 1886.

He expects to remain in Augusta until the spring at least. He finds the quiet and seclusion of that place very restful to him after the long years of politi- cal excitement at the national i Morever, he is gathering material for the history of the war of 1812. The data are. nearly all in hand, and it is probable the opening chapters will be written imme- diately after tne holidays. Mr. Blaine will go to Europe next autumn, He will be the guest of distinguished men in Great Britain and onthe continent. He will spend the major portion of his time in France, Germany and Ireland. It is ex- pected by his friends that his presence in lreland will create a great furore. The effect of this upon the Irish race in America, it is thought, will be to add greatly to Mr. Biaine’s popularity with them. In Ger- many he is expected to make friends, but his prtece de resistanee will be his visit to Ireland. The present programme is for him to return to the United States about sixty days prior to the meeting of the next Republican convention. **If anyone thinks Blaine is out of the Presidential race in 1888,” said one of that gentleman’s friends to-day, ‘* he is mightily mistaken. Mr. Blaine never made such strenuous efforts in his life to secure the nomination as he is now making. And he will get it, too, with even greater ease than he did two years ago.” —-iheas A Sore Trial. Justin McCarthy, M. P., is a man of uniformly genial temper which nothing can disturb. If he were not such a man he would haye been vexed Saturday. He was waiting behind the stage at the Academy of Music, in Brooklyn, on the evening of that day, surrounded by Mr. Beecher, ex-Mayor Low and other members of the committee under whose auspices he was about to deliver his lecture on the ‘Cause of Ireland,” when a man, whom he did not know and evidently had not seen before, advanced and shook hands with him, at the same time presenting him with a business card, upon which his name and the nature of his trade were set forth in large letters. The honorable member for Londonderry took the card mechanically, but as the place was nearly dark he kept it in his hand without looking at it, not, however, for- getting to say ‘‘Thank you” to the giver. But the latter insisted that he should read it, whereupon Mr. McCarthy, apologizing to those with whom he had been speaking, stepped aside a little toward the light, and holding the piece of pasteboard to his eyes saw that it wasa business card about to- bacco and cigars. He said not a word. Taking out a case he placed the card in it, and looking at the man smiled with the most gracious dignity and said in a_ bland tone, ‘“Thank you, sir, very much.” —N. Y. Tribune. ————__— a < <> +r The German Army Bill. The North German Gazette says that in Government circles at Berlin there exists no doubt whatever of the necessity of main- taining the Army bill at any price. It is reported that Dr. Windthorst has informed General Von Schellendorff, minister of war, that if the Government should pro- ceed with the formation of new cadres for the ist of April the Reichstag would be certain to give a bill of indemnity, but the Centre would go no further. The commis- sion of staff officers continues making ar- rangements for new troops just as if the bill was already passed. The War ministry is hastening the production of repeating rifles. The Post states that the workmen jin the factories at Spandan have been re- fused the usual Christmas holidays. It is expected that the Landtag will meet on January 14. Among the bills to be intro- duced is a new measure for an organic re- vision of the May laws. Berlin will be illuminated on January 1 in honor of the eightieth anniversary of Emperor William’s entry into the army. It is rumored that the Emperor will seize the occasion to make an address to the Reichstag deploring its attitude on the military bill. in la |The Imperial Colonial Scheme. Institute ; Dr. Selwyn, C. M. G., who has just re- |turned from England, speaks in glowing terms of praise of the Canalian ex- hibit and the effect it produced on the English mind. He favors the establishment of an Imperial] Colonial Institute, but objects ito its having to depend on Government appropriations. As an alternative scheme, he proposes that the people be asked to ‘contribute according to their means, and \says :—‘* Objections were raised to this idea on account of the difficulty that would be experienced in collecting the money. To overcome that, let every postmaster in the British Empire be given power to issue postal orders to subscribers for any amount they wish, take the subscription, and give the cancelled order as a voucher. Then let all the postmasters send the amounts to the headquarters in London, and I think that if this plan was followed out the three million pound sterling which will be re- quired to erect suitable buildings and en- dow the institution could be raised without any trouble whatever. Then the institu- tion would be beyond the ehance of finan- cial trouble,” i le ET TuE best French calf and oil goat for mak- ing ladies and gents boots, at Dorsey, Goif & Co. dec 23, tf > Tur only Steam Sewing Machine and Gun Repairing Shop in the Dominion, and the only place where you can get every part of a Sewing Machine or a Gun made is at Brown s, ti—oc.30 tent Seager
