In speaking on the memorial Mr.
Seaman stated that in every other city in
the Provinces the system of having the
salary dxad for the position prevailed.
In every other department of the public
service cutsideoi the school system the
mlaries an fixed. The Taaohefs Feder-
ation think that such aa arrangement
would make matters much easier for
the teachers. Under the present arrange-
ment teachers desiring an increase of
supplement have to go to each individual
member to ask for an increase'
An arrangement such as that
suggested would do away with
the humiliation oi such a course. Figures
from the other provinces show that the
other teachers here are paid 25% lower
than the poorest paid acrcsr the line.
The scat to prepare a teacher is greater
than many other positions whore there
is much greater remuneration; ever in
some cases teachers get les than the
common every day laborers or those
engaged in domsetio service in Charlotte-
town, after the,teachers have paid their
board, Every teacher should have a
suillcient. salary to allow him or her to be
constantly improving. A teaxher must
keepin touch with the movements of the
day. Many. however, have been obliged
to confess that their salary has been ln-
suiiicient to allow them to adopt those
means of improvement; and have been
unable to make any preparation for the
time when they go out'of the service.
Another point is the cost of living and
while the salaries have increased in every
other walk of life the salary of the teacher
remains the same. It has been argued
that the teacher does not work all the
day. But the teacher is engaged for all
his time and if he has to seek other em-
ployment part ofthe time it dlvcrts his
attention from his real school work.
The delegation then retired.
Chief Hermann of the Fire Department
submitted the following report 1
To the City School Board:
- GnN'rx.msr:N,-I beg leave to submit the
following report as to the tire escapes
required lorshs Otty Public Schools.. For
an escape for the third floor in case of
tire in Queen Street Schoollwould sug-
gest that an opening be made in the
brick wail with door opening outwards
and strong substantial steps lending to
this exit which wouldjlaud the children
directly upon the roof of Mr. Newson's
building. Upon the second floor in ti1e
event ofthe stairway not being available
I would recommend the construction of a
moveable schute to lead from any window
on the second or middle floors and said
schute be kept ready under_a shed roof
when not in use. For Prince Street
School I would recommend that a
proper stairway be built to lead from any
window of middle loor enclosed with roof
and ample light therein with hand rails
on either side, these stairs to lnnd nn the
flat rcof of adjourning building. For
WestKentIwculd also suggest that n
proper stairway be built similar to Prince
St. School- I would like to see an
Electrical Ftrs Alarm installed in ench
school building to bc used for Fire Alarms
only; also that the teachers continue Fire
Drill with the pupils. By so doing it
will be the only way to avoid a confusion
in case of ilrc. Yours respectfully, Chas.
llermans.

OF SILK
Bow Wells e.'loel¢ Strikes.
The great clock of Wells cathedral in
England was built in 1322 for Glaston-
bury abbey and ran 250 years before
it was removed to Wells.
The striking mechanism ot the clock
is very curious and elaborate. Above
the dial is s little battlemented turret,
with four knights on horseback, armed
with iances, standing guard round it.
At some distance from the clock itself,
near the end of the transept, is n life
size painted iigure, quuintly ugly, with
a battleax in its hand, while outside
the cathedral is n second large dial,
guarded by two tall figures of knights
in armor.
When the gilt stars point to the hour,
the painted figure (Jack Blnndivir, as
hols called by the country people about
\\'cils, no one knows why) strikes the
quarters by striking his heels against
two boils behind i1l111 :111d thou tolls the
great bull of thc clock by striking it
with his bnttlvux. 'l'i1e two stnmllng
knights i\1 armor strike the outside bull
with their iutlbcrds, mul nt tile iirst
stroke of the grcnt boil the four knights
on horseback over the inside dinl start
nt n gullop and rush round and round
the turret in a mimic tournament, in
which cnc knight is thrown from his
horse and regains his seat in every
revolution.
0\lt ol Tune.
A piano tuner employed by a city
urm was sent to c certain suburb to
tune a piano. He found the instrument
in good condition and not in the least
need of attention.
A few days inter thc ilrm received n
letter from the owner of the piano, D.
lady of musical intention, stating that
the piano had not been properly tuned.
It was no better than before.
After receiving a reprimnnd from his
employer the hapless tuner mode un-
other trip to the suburbs and ugftin
tested every note, only to tind, us be-
fore, no fault with the instrument.
This time he told the Indy so.
"Yes," she said, “lt docs seem ell
right, doc-sn’t it, when you pluy on lt,
but as soon as I begin to sing it gets
all out of tune again.”
KNl~I\V DR. CHASE IN 1867.
One of Dr. Chase’s oldest patients in
Canada is Mr. G, W. Parish of Sturgeon
BW. Simcoe Co., Ont., whom he cured
of Kidney disease in |807 bv means of
his now celebrated Kidneylrlver Pills.
Mr. Parish writes that he docs not think
there is any medicine hall' so good and
that he always keeps Dr, Chascfs Kidney-
Liver Pills in the house :is 11 family
