As I have said before on other oc- casions. the Women's fnstitutes are doing. a great deal of good and in many ways have set an example t0 the men of the Province by their, enthusiasm and initiative.

Greatest Opportunity This Province Ever Had! Of Securing Subsidy Adjustment Was Let Slip. Following is the full text of the speech delivered by Hon. J. D. Stew- art, K. 0., leader of the Opposition. in the debate on the Draft Address in the Legislature Wednesday after- noon, March 25: , Mr. Speaker: it falls upon me to perform a very pleasant duty, and that is to tender my congratulations; to the mover and seconder of the motion now before the House. I do, this unhesitatingly because they have performed their duty well. l’ So far as my good friend from Morell . .. lMr. Oox) is concerned, of course he his been something of a free-lance. He is always given a little latitude ~ as a humorist; and while there are things he said which I might criti- cise. I shall not attempt to do .. , so on that account. '1 assume that he said them as e. humorist, and did not .- consider very ‘ much the weight of the words which he uttered. l 4 ‘"1 was very much interested in the address of the member for the First _. District of Prince. It was very in- ‘, u structive, and he certainly was justi- fied in saying, as he did in his eon-i ..c_lu.sion, that he had avoided party‘, politics. That, of course, is a rule that should always be observed by i preceded me in congratulating His Honour Lieutenant Governor Dalton on the attainment of this high po- sition. I am sure we all feel that he has earned it, and I think it is a splendid thing to have that position filled by one who has risen from the soil, as the Hon. Charles Dalton has done. He spent all his life and ac- tivity in this Proviner, and he has served it in very many ways. He has given to the Province perhaps its wealthiest and finest industry, an in- dustry that has brought not only wealth to the people but has adver- tised the Province itself in every part of the civilized world. I might also make reference to His Honours predecessor. For the past four years we have had this Legislature opened and closed by the Hon. Mr. Hearizz; and 1 think I can truly say that while this Province has been blessed with a splendid line of Governors f do not know that any man has ever given more painstak- ing attention to the performance of the duties of his office than did Mr. Hearts. I am sure we ail sympathise with him in the loss he has had rec- ently through the destruction of his magnificent residence.

It is apparently a thing that we shall all have to fight; and the best means of fight- ing it, I believe, is to have our chil- dren properly trained and taught as to the value of our own citizenship. of our government and what gov- ernment in this country means, how it has been built up and what it has dons for us and for the civilized world. . Having dealt with theee matters l come new to the affairs which are mentioned in the "Speech from the Throne and which. I suppose, are more or i038 controversial in nature. I was very sorry to note that my‘ hon. friend from Morell (Mr. Coxl introduced politics even into that clause of the Speech which refers to public health. That is a matter, I think, that should be discussed in a non-partisan way, However, he gives credit to this Government for re- organizing public health activities. I am not. very cognisant of the ar- rangements that have beenmade. but I understand that this scheme originated with Dr. woodhouse, who What has happened, for example, in Prince of Wales College, our most important educational institution and corner-stone of our whole sys- tem of teachers‘ training? You will remember that when the late Gov- ernment was in power they were for- tunate in obtaining a. man of excep- tion qualifications and ability as teachers‘ instructor. I refer to Pro- fessor Lloyd Shaw. We placed him in charge, and he was an additional employee to the staff that had been there before. He took charge of teachers’ training and made a great success of his work. Unfortunately for us, he received a more aBfilUhQh ative offer elsewhere, and left this Province. That situation hnpnbtnln. ed for some years now, and yet. so far as Tam‘ aware. no one has been appointed in fill his place. ltetrogresslon. Not Progress So far as} am aware the teach- ers‘ training department is being’ conducted by some ladies who were formerlyunodel school teachers. Cer- tainly, if that be theicase, the situ- ation cannot be as satisfactory as it was under Mr. Shaw. This matter has flplmrently been neglected by ths present Government; and you, can" readily understand. Mr. Speaker, what an effect that will have on the whole teaching profession in the Pm- vincc. It is bound to result in retro- grertslon. ‘ was place d in the position of being able to offer this money to be spent in the Province; money which had been contributed, I believe, by oer-i tain life insurance companies. ‘ There are few men to whom this Province owes more than it does for the inception of the public healthl for a number of years, and he has done more good than perhaps any of usdream. Now we have another boon at his hands which will be of im- measurable importance to our peo- ple. not only in the fight. against iwhat do we find?
