Mr George E. Hughes approached the discussion P i-iiiiiplziiiicil that the curriculum was overcrowded, and hope that the Government would do for thc fishing! that tlic (fiovcriiiiieiit should have struck off somc of industry what it had done for agriculture. Ile did' the siiliji-cts when it added agriculture and nature not think it was opportune to criticize the form of the' stuily. \\'licn asked by the Premier what hc thought public accounts until these had been placed before, iiiight with advantage be struck out, he sapiently sug- them, and acknowledged iliat the Government had | gi-slril Lzitiii, as tliough that were one of the subjects b ini ilic <‘iii‘i'iciiluiii of ilic elementary schools. He tllcn I1 }-roccciled to :_issci‘t that tlie inspectors had reported which he had no doubt _would be granted. He took that education was not satisfactory in thc elementary exception to the war supplies not being obtained with- scliools, and ii-lien asked by the Premier to name out public tender; and said if he would indulge in the inspectors said he had not gotithem, but would any adverse criticism‘at that juncture it would be with supply the iianies and quotations before the Premier replied, :i promise which hc did not keep. He com- plaiiicil that we had too many school inspectors, and ivliilc lie adiiiittcil live of ihcsc were paid out of thc .\gricullur:il liiliiczitioii Grant, lic claimed that as that grant wciit into the coiililloii treasury, tho money iiiiglit with iiiorc ailvantage be spent on cheese and‘ bacon factories 'l`lic Premier had no difficulty in exposing this fallacy. He said that Mr Bell and his coliorts had spread that untrntli broadcast during the liist election, but the fact is, as Mr Bell ougllt to know, and no doubt does know. that not one dollar of thc .-\gricultural Aid (irant goes into tlie common treasury. lt is ear-marked for agricultural education only, and not a penny can be spent on any other object. The $16,000 must be spent on agricultural education and must receive the approval of the authorities at Ottawa. lf it were not so spent. the money reverts to the Doiiiiiiioil Treasury. The scheme of co-ordination in education introduced here. had been such a marked success that ilie highest educatioiial authorities in ifaiiaila had declared our educational -system was in the forefront of the whole of Canada, yet Mr Bell would decry this expenditure, and would seek to have the money received therefor revert to the Treasury at _Ottawal Mr" Bell repeated his allegations about thc oyster industry, and Premier Mathieson later showed that the decline of the industry was entirely covered by the period in which the Liberals were in power, and that it was left to the present Government to introduce measures to resuscitate it. The Premier scathingly castigatcd Mr`Bcll for the misrepresenta- tions on this subject which he had circulated at the election, and asked what sort of adeader was he who would seek to sacrifice a prospective revenue of Siloyooo per annum in order to gain a little political advantage arousing strife and disinfection among oyster' Mr Bell"fered no better when li¢_ Coil'|f| ei and charged to 'fiialte rural life more ettraldtive. 80°! xitlilout saying. een ready and willing to supply information when skcd, and lie liopcd to ask for certain iiiforiiiatioii, ii regard to the increase of $45,000 in salaries during the last four years. When asked by the Premier how he` arrived at this figure, Mr Hughes said he would hle a stateineilt, and this the Premier said would be satis- factory.

There have been six classes in all with an average attendance of 26 students. These students came from all parts of tlie province, the great majority of them young ladies, but including a. nuinber of married ladies as well. The courses were under the supervision of Miss Sterns, who was assisted by Miss McFarlane and Miss Gordon, while lectures were Tennant, Ross, McCi°eady, Kerr, and Clark. Instruction was given by Miss Stems and licr assistants iii cooking, home nursing, la_undry work,‘ millinery, flower-making and other domestic' arts, while theilectures by the 'gentlemen above-named _ein-, braced practically all lines of agricultural activity, a thorough understanding of which is as essential to the women iii the farm or rural home as to the men.
