MORNING SESSION Mr. Mathieson asked the Commit- sioner of Public Works to lay on th table of the House a statemen showing how the sum of $121.2 pcnring on page Z1 of the Publi Works Report for last year is mad up, and also the sum of $62.54 pai R. & H. Cox. All vouchers relatin to said payments and also relating to a payment of $703.76 paid w_ w Jenkins, Son & Co. Were the con tracts in respect to which these pny- iiients were made let by tender 7 The information was promised. , Mr. Fraser presented a petition from Alexander B. McLeod and others praying for “Au Act to in corporate the Trustees of St. James Presbyterian Church of Souris_" Hon. Mr. Haszard introduced a llill to be entltuled "An Act to authorize the issue of debentures for the Construction of the 'new Infir- mary, and the rebuilding of the Jail und Court House at Bummerside. Hon. Mr.. Haszard_ introduced a Bill to be entituled, “An Act to umend an Act to provide for the vnnsniidntinn ni the debt nrihis l’rovince." _ The motion to grant a Supply was carried. _ _ After transacting some other business the House adjourned till ll p. m. AFTERNOON SESSION House resumed at 4 p. m. The Act to incorporate The Sun Electric Co., Ltd was reud a second time and reported agreed to. The act to enable executors and udministrators of mortgages to sell und convey mortgaged property was read a second time and agreed to. Hon. Mr. Hughes resumed the de- bate on the education resolution. He thought the school system should be looked into. He thought thel trouble with the schools was owing to the fact of the teachers being scarce. As to vacant schools that could be remedied by consolidation. All these matters could be attended to by the commission. The Government 'ls aware that soniethlng`*`sffflnTd be' done and is prepared to do some- thing. Mr. McDonald: This is an important question. The Government want us to trust this year as we trusted them last year. Are they worthy of that trust. Last year the Govern- ment promised to look into the mat- ter of the price of school books and mukc other reforms. The sceptre has since passed into the hands of the' present premier. He has different opinions. I am afraid he is going to pass the matter over as was done last year. I fear that as far as the| school books were concrened the Pro-' viuce is in the'_h`snds of bocck pub- lishers in Toronto. lilvery business man who/ sells school books hears‘ constant complaints as to 'the books. Mr. Mcdonaald scored the I I that are made are bound by wire. _It being six o’clock the House ad Journed till 8 p. m. EVENING SESSION House met at 8 p. m. ' Mr. Haszard resumed the debate. Uosition of the Leader of the Opposi tion-no one was sparei ~~ _ was at faul. When he went to t' country he would be taken at his proper vain; as he has been before. This fault nding is too small. We are continually being told said the Premier: "Wait till you go before U10 00\1l1I1YY~" Well we're prepared. We know they will make the most of what they have. But the people are broildminded; they are not interest- ed in these little things. I don't think there is so much fault to be iound with the system of education or anything else. I dori‘t think it would be a sensible thing to introl duce a new system of school-books; let them use up the old ones. In Ontario they are not going to make a sudden change. We will have 5, PFODGI' report by competent_ men, and we shall be in a position to have books sold as cheaply here as in Ontario, ' I can tell them the Government intend to carry out their promise this year. I can assure them there Try out their duty. Mr. McKinnon: The question now is whether thi's commission is to be appointeld nr not. The Premier says there is no haste. There cannot be too much haste in dealing with this grievance. It is now two years since attention was called to this. Is not that too long a time. What does the Premier mean. by saying a commis- sion is to be appointed-then saying the school system is well administ- ered? Why then is a commission wanted. The appointment of a com- mission is an admission that the ing the school system. The debate was eontinueli by Messrs Prowse, Warburton, Fraser I d Mciviiiin ` ` sented .net iess than n dozen minin an ii. Mr. Kennedy‘s amendment to the arrangement - ba? which the school board here arranged the prices of school books for this province. He objected to the proposal by Hon. hir. Hughes _to put Prof. S. W. Ilobertson on thb Commission. As to tcuchers' salaries something should bc done at oficl. Hon. Mr. Gallant (Bloomfield) The :imcnilmcnt is on an important sub- ject and deserves consideration. The school system is not perfect and culls for attention, Therefore the umcndment to 'appoint a commission is a step in right direction. He cuuldn't say as much for the resolu- tion. That is not sufficient. The op- position wants to`_ have cheaper books; but the Government wants to no into the whole system of educa- tion. With regard to the small schools-they want to have CINS” schools closed, procu'>¥`l- -'l \\`0Ul°'I be n great injustice to have these schools closed. ` to the amendment. Setting f' 'U1 that Mr. Kennedy movcvl .'-in uniciulinent in view of the neglect of the Govern- ment to consider this matter in former yfrs it was elvcdfwt U1” immedia action be taken now. _ The amendment was read to the House. ' ` Mr. Mathieson: We have by reso- luilon set forth the fact of a serious grievance. The Government PPM ticully agree with us by l1d°Pu“I5 th' rr-solution. Yet they say there is no grievance. They say the Premiers amendment is better. Why do they un this 'I it is ‘simply an attempt tn biirk 'the resolution. They IWW "leave the matter to us." Wh? 0° they delay ? Why. do they “'00 ‘I0 *‘“ Dntario has done 7 Mr- M8th\°50“ then went i to the question of the exhnrhitnnt Eileen charged for “U00 hooks here and quoted the lower Prices for similar books in 0ntB\‘1b» He said that the literary selection in some of the books were not suit- able for Canadian children-th0Y were glorlfications ol the ,United States. He was surprised at I-h statements of members of the Gov-_ ernment who said there was no grievance in regard to the 821100 books.
