Of‘ this number there was an enrollment last year of 4,000 pupils in Grades 1 and 2, instead of the expected hum-l ber of 3,400. Only about 50 per cent._ of the pupils reach High School ; Grade. The number of Public School Certificates issued to pupils completing the work of Grade VIII was 800, or less than 50 per centiof the estimated annual yield. Too many pupils, the report notes, drift away from school to swell what has been termed the ranks of Grade VI. or Grade VII. citizenship. T Notes bv the Way A mild sensation was created last week by Mr. Baldwin's action in selecting Rt. Hon. Neville Chamber- lain as chief Conservative critic in the comi budget debate, though this rols logically belonged to Mr. Churchill, who was Chancellor of the Excheque in the late Baldwin Min- istry. The significance of the Gon- servative leader's action is thorough- ly understood. It means‘ that Mr. Churchill has forfeited his party Stflld$,'_l~h8ll he has been officially demoted,—and that Mr. Chamber- lain has been promoted to the posi- glwl. llllpvl lllllfillfi l I ‘l l l iliillillillrll \ . lllllllllllll .

Whatever the books may show, the Public Ac- counts have seldom, if ever, been presented in such a. muddled way. Yesterday we gave specific instances of the difficulty experienced in ar- riving at a correct understanding of the true financial situation of the Province. Herc are further examples: The sum of $13,500, received from the City of Charlottetown on ac- count of Dominion Government loan on Housing Account, which is stated to have been paid over to the Dominion Government, Ls. not reflect-l ed in the Revenue and Expenditure account. As this money was handled by the Provincial Government, why does it not appear in the so-called Revenue and Expenditure state- meat? In previous publications of the Public Accounts the current account was always headed "Provincial Treasurer's Balance Sheet.“ In the 1930 Accounts it appears as “Pro- vincial Treasurer's Statement.“ Why this change? Does it mean that the account cannot be looked upon as a balance sheet in the correct mean- lng out the term, and that the Auditor refused to designate it as such? At the bottom of the Provincial ‘Treasurer's statement it is stated: "Proceeds of debentures sold were applied to Bank overdraft." The word "proceeds? is surely incorrect, inasmuch as the foot-note refers to G sum of $1,024.l2—the premiums received on the $248,000 debentures sold during the year. ‘Fhercjs en- ough confusion in the Public Ac- counts without unnecessarily con- founding the meaning of such words as proceeds and premiums. 0n the Expenditure side of the General Statement. under Gasoline Rebates, appears a sum of $17,773, which is made up as follows: Pro- vision for 1929 Rebates, $17,000, less I929 Rebates paid in i930, $l6,773, leaving it balance of $227. To this is added Provision for 1930 Rebates to be paid in 1931, $18000. It would therefore appear that the amount shown as “Provision for 1930 Rebates payable in 1931," should he $18,227. and not $17,773, as shown in the Ac- counts. On the Revenue side a sum of $1,000 is shown as having been re- ceived for "difference on gasoline provision." What docs this mean!‘ ‘the Account does not explain. Again, there is mention of “sun- dry suspense payments, $141.60." What was the necessity for these SOME “suspense payments," and what are they? ' 1h the Ihipendiiure statement, under Sinking Funds for ordlnary Debentures, a sum of 512515.50 is shown; whereas in the Recapitulation oi Expenditure 15 the amount appears as $16,305. Why this difference? The estimate last year for Admin- istration of Justice, including jails,» was $48,550; and the expenditure.‘ on page ued. that this practice has been contin- Last year, according to the Game Inspector's report published in the annual report of the Minister of Agriculture, dynamite and lime were put in the streams at a num- ber of places and large quantities of trout were caught by this means and fed to foxm. Strong resolutions have been passed by the Fish and Game Association against this prac- tice, and the Fisheries DePlfimi-‘fli at Ottawa has been requested to take action. The need of more protection to trout fishing is evident. but it ls also evident that the co-operation is necessary or all interested in pre- serving the trout streams of the Province for recreational purposes. No law can be enforced without the support of public opinion. The pro~ tection of our trout streams should appeal to all lovers of sport and there should be no hesitation in giving information in the authorities against the vandalism of those who deliberately and persistently violate a law which is observed by all true sportsmen the world over. As the Game Inspector well says, if this illegal practice continues it will soon mean that trout fishing in this Pro- vince will be a thing of history. ‘rhe waming is a. serious one. It is to be hoped that this summer the law will be rigidly enforced, without fear or favor, and that all public spirited citizens will give the authorities their whole-hearted support in the ac- complishment of this necessary pur- pose. Education Report According to the report of the Chief’ Superintendent of Education, enrolment and attendance in the schools throughout the Province showed a slight increase last year over that of the preceding year. The percentage of attendance remained the same and stands at the highest point recorded, but still is below the average for the Dominion. The prac- tice of closing the school because a pupil has some communicable dis- ease instead of quarantining the patient tends greatly to reduce the attendance in the rural schools. In the larger graded schools this prac- tice has almost ceased and in these schools a. much better attendance is recorded. A few districts still adopt Spring Holidays with tho result that many pupils fail to return to com- plete the year, and the disorganiza- tion of classes at this season of max- imum efiiciency prevents many pup- ils from reaching the standard of achievement aimed at for the end of the year. The number of School Districts in 11.: Province at June 30, i930, was 478. In six districts, Wllmot, Tryon West, Grand Pete Point, East Wilt- shire, Alberry Plains and Union Road. the pupils were conveyed to neighboring schools. In five other districts, Upper Belle Creek, Green- vale, Glcncorrodule, Valleyfield West and Christopher's Cross, the schools were closed owing to scarcity of pup- ils, and in three districts-Afton Road, Point Pleasant and North En- more—-the schools were closed for appreciation of the importance of better equipment for schools. Dur- ing the past year new school bulld- ings were erected in Brooklyn, Carle- ton, Int 6, Morel], and Morell East, and an additional department was added to the schools in Albany Vil- lage, Mt. Stewart, Borden, Elms- dale, and Cornwall. The schools in Bedeque, Greenhlll, Pt. Pleasant and Cavendish were moved to new sites affording a better location and more ample grounds. In Charlottetown a new eight room annex was provided for the pupils of Rochford Square School. The credit for school improvement, the report very properly states, is due in a large measure to the interest shown by the Women's Institutes. with a full appreciation of the im- portance of bright, cheerful class- rooms and clean and tidy surround- ings they are raising the standards of the schools to that of the homes. There are nowin operation 225 of these Institutes and a visit to the schools is sufficient ‘to indicate the districts 1n which they are formed. Last year they contributed more than $0,000 to school improvements from their own funds and their in- fiuenoe at the annual school meet- ings is also being shown in more lib- eral votes for running expenses of the school. Leading From The Rear If the provincial Liberal party in Ontario were to suddenly about face, says the Montreal Gazette, it would find Mr. Mitchell F. Hepburn, Iii-R. riding bravely at its head, possibly throwing his mace in the air, catch- ing it Elwin in mailed fist, and sing- ing. mayhap, “The song of Roland." Commenting upon the peculiar ar- rangemcnt whereby Mr. Hepburn kept his seat in the I-louse of Coln~ mons and let Mr. E. N. Sinclair look after the fortunes of the party on the floor of the Legislature. the Gazette observes: "Mr. Sinclair was thus left without the prestige of title of leader while retaining the labor and responsibility. Mr. Hepburn, 1t is true, participated in subsequent by-electlcns, but not as a candidate; the odds were unfavorable, and the outcome of the contests proved once again that discretion may bc the bet- ter part of valor. Thus was it that the Ontario legislature went through its second session with Mr. Sinclair leading the Liberal group, while Mr. Hepburn has been in comfortable occupation of his seat in the House of Commons at Ottawa." It has been, adds‘ the Gazette, and continues to be a strange spectacle, with the fomler Liberal leader, Mr. Sinclair, filling the more dignified role. From what Ls. recalled of Mr. l-iepburns course on the platform in Ontario, and his participation in the debate at Ottawa, it. is possible to vis- ualize him as leader of his party in the Legislature during the session that has just closed. Had he been there, the proceedings might have been less peaceful, and yet Mr. sin- clslrs leadership, dignified as it was, and quietly effective, must have ap- pealedto the older Liberals of On- tario as in clcne accord with the best Finance Committee, in order, as he satirically expresses it, to "facilitate" his former leader's new plans. But British Conservatism will be much better off without Mnchurchill, who, despite his acknowledged ability, is impulsive, erractlc, enormously self- important, and hopelessly reaction- ary. There is no question in the world says an exchange that the over- sanguine course of the Western pool, ,1,“ .-.< l IlllllillllilH!llilllliillilllllllllIlllllllllllllllliilllillilllllllllll . combined with the unimaginative policy of the MacKenzle King Gov- ernment, has rendered the economic situation in this country more diffi- cult, than it otherwise would have been. There is hope for the future in the fast that both the pool and the Government are now in new and capable hands. A long experience of noting Ameri- can elections predictions and results suggests that those who claim a. vic- tory ‘m advance are not al- ways successful, since all can- didstes invariably claim victories, but that the candidate or party which predicts the victory by the largest number of votes is al- most certain to be return-ed. For ex- ample, in the Chicago election the Thompson forces predicted a, major- ity of 50,000, while the Cenmak for- ces predicted a majority of 150,000.

Another severe strain on the heart. that uses up much of its reserve, is getting up and out of bed too soon after an illness. Even an illness that keeps you in bed with a temperature for two or three days, means that the heart must be rested for another two or three days after the temper- ature becomes normal. A rule that many doctors use, is to keep the pat- ient in bed, after temperature is nor- mal, one day for each degree of tem- perature he had during his illness. Thus a temperature of 102 degrees F. about three degrees above normal, means resting in bed three days. This seems like a hardship, but it will prevent many cases of heart failure. Don't give your heart unnecessary work by keeping infected teeth and tonsils, and getting up too soon after an illness.
