From recent observations I have come to the conclusion that there is now a general movement on the part of the teachers in our province to teach primary read- ing by a phonetic system that is quite independent of the alpha- betical names of the letters, and one of the deplorable results of this method is that it has already led to a state of bewilderment and a. sense of lnabilitv on the part of parents who wish to assist their little ones at home in their stu- dies; for the great majority of these parents learned to read by the old "spell and say", method which does not co-ordlnate with the phonetic system pure and simple. I am firmly convinced that. if skillfully used. thc old “spell and say" method is still the best one for the rural schools of Prince Ed- ward Island. though I can well im- agine that when I say this that many iip-to-date teachers will be tempted to dismiss me as an old fogey too stupid to discover h-a- does not really sound at all like the word hat. but rather like "altchatee". Let me assure these however. that I made this discov- ery almost on the first day I un- dertook to teach a primer class, now over 40 years ago, and that some of my contemporaries made the same discovery in the same manner, and what is more. we also made the discovery in the course of time that the phonetic system or teaching primary reading in the English language presented just as many inconsistencies and irreg- ularities as the alphabetical sys- tom. since that time, however, I have seen a good deal of the phonetic system in practice, and I will not deny that splendid results may be accom fished by it when used by a teac ier who has thoroughly mas- tered it, but I am quite sure that deplorable results mav follow when it is used by a teacher who has only half-mastered it for in this case the teacher not only falls to teach his pupils skillfully. but ren- ders it well-nigh impossible for the pupil's parent or any member of his family to assist him at home. The phonetic system, again I ad- mit, may be the best. one for city schools, where the teachers have l land cheap feed. For this change of heart, much credit is due to Mr. Dennis and Mr. Walter Shaw for their persistence in preinlng the need Our Government may not relish havin to pay half.’ the freight rates east om Pbrt William. but this again Ls of secondary importance for the whole future of this Is- land depends upon our farmers be- ing placed in a position not only to increwe the number of their ani- mals but to improve their quality. Economists the world over agree today that the number and qual- ity of livestock are the prime tests of progress in any and every agri- cultural country and to set the movement. going in this Province is worthy of s. very serious sacri- floe being made by the Provincial Government. Regarding this question of im- ported grain, there appears in this Province to be a remarkable diver- gence ot opinion. Many farmers, for exwiple, say that they will iirn the number of their animals to the quantity of feed that. their sores will produce. This may be _s necessary conclusion for farmers who have no money to pay for lin- ported feed, but for those who have even e. moderate working capital such ssgolicy can readily be shown to be octslghted. A farm, after all, does not differ ea ientially from a factory. In each case goods are produced or made by converting materials into fin- ished products, and the main ef- fort should be to lay chief stress upon lines that yield the highest profit and for which there is a ready demand. If n manufacturer were to limit the quantity of ma- terials given to his employees to work upon, irrespective of hi: cap- ital or the demand for the fin- ished lines, lie would soon end in the bankruptcy court. Similarly on farms. livestock being admitted to be of chief importance, whatever may be required for its mainten- ance should be obtained. Partlctilar- iy is this the case with feed grains on this Island. for it has been shown by a number of experimental farms in ea Item Canada, including the Charlottetown farm, after several years of careful research, that grain lrrowmg in our small fields, and Wli-li old style methods and imple- ments. costs far more than it dues in the western prairie where single farms run into hundreds and ever.

In country schools how- ever the teachers have but little time or attention to ive to the primary pupils, and tese pupils can be greatly assisted by a little home co-operation on the part the parents or other relatives of the family. The phonetic system however renders this co-operatlon cxtreinelv difficult. and it is for this reason principally that I mam; taln that the old "spell and say method combined skillfully with the "look and say“ method is the best one for Prince Edward Is- land. or any other island for that matter. In conclusion I may say that ten years ago at a teachers’ con- vention in Charlottetown I saw the almost identical method that I now have in mind beautifully de- monstrated by a yOling lady whose name I have forgotten. Judging from the type of this young lady. the probability l5 that she is not new engaged in teaching; but if she is. she ought in my opinion to be engaged in the Model School teaching teachers how teach primary reading in the public schools; for by her method teach- er and parent can ell-operate with ease and pleasure in lhe task of teaching a child to read. 1 am.

That. hOWQI/elfi is n0 reason why we should not buy their grain at the market price. particularly if it cots con- siderably less than the figure at which it can be produced on we Island farms. To my mind. this subject of the importation of feed grain is one of major importance to Prince Edward Island.
