ins we have said, shows the existing
:ct-nilitions and whither we are and
_for years past have been drifting.
f The report shows, in brief thatt ive
‘hail during 1909 atotal of 479 dis-
itrict schools in the Province, an in-
crease of 3 over the previous year.
l'l`he nituiher of teachers employed
iwas 595, an increase of 15. Of these
,te-iii~liers 200 were niale, and 395
`feniale, showing a decrease of tive in
'thc former and an increase of 20 in
,the latter. The number of pupils en-
irollcd was 18,073, a fractional in-
lcrease of til, but with a decrease oi
5104 in the average attendance. This
lon the whole indicates a stationary
it-ondition, not unmixed with indica-
ttions af retrogression.
it Still the' total expenditure for edit-
.ration iii this Province has been
'large, amounting to $183,205. Of this
lthe Government contributed $129,179
land the school districts $54,026- a
lmost unequal distribution of the bur-
iden, and one in which our Province
‘stands alone. The a.moiint expended
'for each pupil in` attendance was $14,-
178, ol which the Government paid
,$10.10 and the school boards $4.68.
l'l`here is, however an improvement in

meetings, which last year totalle

intents was but $7,804.
other Provinces. Otir schools cannot
ibe kept up to the slhindard required
in this age, with incapable or un
trained teachers. But the Govern-
nient cannot pay more, because it
_has not the money. Wherefore we
]think a change in the inode of school
‘support is imperatively demanded.
l There are other reforms needed, to
Qvvhicli we need not advert. It is to
|be feared that with the present ar-
|rangement of school districts the
:cost per pupil in many schools is
.unduly large and that the best re-

lactiially expended. The cost oi school

TROUBLE THREATENED
on Morrrnnai. Dock.
MONTREAL, Feb. 20-The shipping
companies are threatened with
trouble among .the longshorenien.
They claim that the demac.d for t-he
abolition of the bonus system is
miide by a few men only and that it
‘is not serious. Noiv the dema-nd is
that a poll tax be put on all long-'
shoremen who come (ram outside the
city. This would mean that 75 per
cent. of the men -would have to pay
the tax as they are mostlv men who
work in the shanties in 'the winter
shipping men claim the number who
come from St. John and Halifax for
the summer, which used tc. he large
enoug-li, has dropped to almost noth-
ing and that the Portland immigra-
tion is altogether stopped.
THE NEED OF EXTEN
Probably no Province in Canada
is more in need of road reform tbaq
our own. The fault was in laying out
the roads at the beginning. -They
were made to follow the township
lines, almost entirely- regardless of
grades. In consequence our people
have gone on for a hundred years
climbing hills, which might have
' been in many cases avoided without
even increasing the length of the
_ road. In not a few cases a leveliroad
could have been made around the
_ base of a hill quite as short. as the
present road over its summit and on
which three.times_ the load could be
drawn by a team.
It has been at enormous cost of
power and loss of time that ’ our
generations dragging heavy loads
over hills that. might be avoided.
Even in light driving the loss of
and down hill, and the horse walk-
ing the up-grades fully tivo thirds of
the time of a journey is taken up
with the iip-hill climb.
The remedy is ,not so easy as
might be hoped. Farm houses and
buildings have been erected along the
existing roads and it would in many
cases greatly disturb the convenience
ol the owners to have the roads re-
moved or diverted from present
' routes. Still there_ are very many
cases where great improvements
might be made in road location
without serious detriment to vested
rights. A comprehensive survey of
the Provincial road systen with a
view to improved location would be
well worth while. ‘

Whether Canada can or cannot af-

necessary courage to do so. The

The Liberal budget, which the
Lords rejected before the election,
they are no\v._ready to pass. But be-
fore it can go to the Lords it must
now pass through the H0use` of
Commons again, and unless the Irish

pass. And the Irish members, who
abstained from voting when the bud-
