Ranchers were in attendance from the various pro- vinces of the Dominion, the fur. thest west being Dr. J. J. Glllis of Merritt. B. C.

In addition i" h" ""88 medical practice and lwlbltal he operates a stock farm and fox ranch. One of his keeneat interests ‘rs the raising of high class silver foxes. The meeting would not have had the P5P it did but for Dr. Gillie who criticized some of the aspects lirularly the "hew lo the WHEY in Grading. The Doctor also 5PM“ up strongly in favor of a "m" wrwbrd P180 in publicizing fox furs and his vigorous advocacy of such measures had considerable to do with their recognition. The most outstanding Ilappen. 111B of the meeting was the pm. Vldllle of a sum not to exceed $15,. 00° which i! I0 be made available for the advertising of sliver and mutation fox pelts and fox fur Promotion. There was a lot of argument pro and con but this finally went through.

While they would not My b1! prices yet it looked as thvllkh quite a number °f Delta could be sold at the market. This good news caused g, brllhlen-‘lnlz of everyones spirits and as one rancher put lb—lper. haps it prssages better days for us. Among the subjects discussed was the feed situation. Art Doyle said that he was paying over seven cents for horse meat in Winnipeg and that the processors there had to pay three cents on the hoof for horses. Horses were being shipped alive to Belgium. the deal- ers paying from $40. to $60. Most of these horses were old and tn- flrm, many of them blind. One peculiar feature about the pur- chases was that not a single white horse was among them. Inquiring the reason he found that the Bel- gians have an idea that the white pigment causes a deterioration in the nutrient value of the meat and no amount of persuasion \vil] cause them to accept an animal of that color. Mr. Doyle thought that If page ad which will appear in Vogue. the principal fashion maga- zine 0f the United States. It was certainly a masterpiece and should ' create demand for beautiful fox furs. He also told of other plans which the American breeders had made and which would be ap- plicable to Canada. A considerable fund had been gotten together of which about 840.000 has been ear- marked for spending this year but, | said he. this advertising campaign ' must be carried over a period ofl years and every fox farmer and; mink farmer in the United States l and Canada should contribute‘ through a levy on pelts. i At. Monday's session which was purely a Directors meeting. a. nun-l- l ber of amendments having for their object jmprovemerlt in the breeding of foxes, were passed and these also got O. K. from the full meeting of members on Tuesday. While it ls difficult at this de- pressed time to visualize a long range program of improved breed- ing yet it is in just such times we must formulate plans for the future. time is just before the dawn so perhaps in the clouds there is a silver lining, in fact before you finish these notes you will perhaps discern If. The Directors of the Associa- tion were banqueted by the Canad- lan Bank o! Commerce at the Charlottetown on Monday evening and His Honor, Iris-Governor Ber- ard. graced the gathering with is presence. Speeches were few but His Honor proved himself s good raconteur and said that the hole in which the original silver black foxes were dug out of is still to be seen in the vicinity at ‘Plgnish. It was an Indian who in the 1810b found the pair and sold item to them in his barn and raised a lit- ier. Later he sold them to Charles Dalton who later pelted the adults and received $150. for the DB1" Ium a Halifax fur trader. This caused Mr. Dalton to think that there would be good money in raising silver foxes for pelts and that idea he carried out in part- nership with Robert Oulton. Tuesday morning's sesdon was featured by an address given by Premier J. Walter Jones. the in- teresting part to the fox farmers being his illustration of the dif- m-sncq in price between a mink pelt l“ the raw-or s foot pelt for that matter - and ‘the same article dressed and made up Mth Government excile I»!!! llld 88-1" tax added. He stronlly “trod the meeting to so on record and ask for the removal of these handicaps which he said were throttling the industry. His words fell on fertile ground and a resolution was rnov- ed and pulsed unanimously re- questing the Minister of Finance to remove ranch bred furs from the operations of the exclse tax and sales tax. Dr. Gillie. l-‘L T. Rltchman and several others said that a commit- tee should so to Ottawa at once and place the matter before the Minister of Finance. They said lhllt resolutions get us nowhere and that it was only by impressing the ministers with ihe seriousnell lthe move as Quite often the darkest - BerlJamln Haywood, who kept‘ s. regulation could be put into ef- fect preventing the exportation either to the United States or other countries, of horses unfit for human consumption that. consider- . able relief would result to fox farmers "in the price structure. The meeting did not seem to agree with someo s ‘ ’ that. discriminatory measures might be taken by U. S. mink ranchers. For instance they might ask for a duty on mink pelts srml- lar to silver foxes so ihe matter was dropped. On Tuesday evening ihe Bllver Fox Breeders‘ and Exhibitors’ As- sociation which ls about to shed its name and take on a new one. ' : P. E. I. Fur Producers As- sociation. gave a dinner at which all members of the Association were made welcome. Plesident L. K. Lockerby very ably presiding and a splendid lobster dinner was served that was greatly en- joyed and the evening featured with songs, stories and plenty of laughter. A letter just received from W. Chester S. McLure. M. P., Ottawa, says-“There seems to be at the present time a. growing revival in the fur trade. The big fur fashion show to be helrron June 17th st the Ritz Carleton, Montreal, in Montreal, should bring some pro- minence to different kinds offurs and create greater interest.

I l i Having taught school tin the ~course of a somewhat long life) ‘in England, and in this country "too, I venture to put my observa- tions on both systems before my ‘readers. Perhaps I should begin ‘with remarks on my own school- days. When I went lo school . ihe State had nothing to do with cle- mentary education. This was a matter left entirely to the Chur-l ches or to private enterprise. The school I attended had been built _.by the Church of England, and Thoughts On Teaching School (l) a boy: “I taught your father"- He had his own house close to his own school, and his own gar- den provided hlm with vegetables and fruit. Ills salary was small. but it must. be admitted that there were compensations. Well, tlme went on, and l left school. After that memorable fortnight in the department store Ilateiy described in this column), I dccldcd to be a schoolmaster Tile Board School Act had just hccll passed by the _Britisll Par- liament. In effect, wherever a district wanted a school. the in- habitants musi. vote for a Board of Trustees who then put on a tax to pay for building the school and for carrying it. on Our School lrllstces lvcre minors. and petty oiflciais at the mines. and it is one of the curiosities of hu- who spoke so bitterly of their low wages, llad no hesitation to take on “pllpii-teacilel" appren- tices" for a five-year term. and when finally the apprentice was free. to offer him a salary of £20 ($100) per annum! The appren- tice system was extremely good if carried out on terms of the contract; only. our headmaster, for his own case and convenience. found a way to get round them. This may be explained in a future Note. ' Now for a few remarks on my experletlce and observations of school-teaching on the Island and it must. always be remembered that I am writing of ions ago. Fmdini. on my arrival, that I nceded more income. I interview- rd tile Premier and the Minlster rf Education. who. after a Villa. ‘ihe clergyman or “priest" as the tNorthumbrians called hlm, was, the only trustee. The schoolq "master was paid partly by dona-i tlons from the colliery-owners» and partly by school fees brought every Monday morning by the lscholars. The whole salary would be about £100 ($500 in those itimes) so that our "maistor" was ahead of Goldsmiths man who (it will be recalled) was "passing rich on £40 a year." Why did he work for such a small salary when people were making fortunes in other direc- tions? I can only answer that tllere are born teachers just as there are born poet-s. But the crlrser was not as pcnurious as you may suppose. In those days the cost of living had none of its high percentages. Everything was’ wonderfully cheap. To the south of the school was s large garden. half of which lavas taken up with hush fruits and half with veEP- tables. Best of all our school- master harl no worries about. housing, because the house was built on to the school and he lived rent free. These material advantadfifi "Vi!" backed by others less tanglble but probably more gratifying.

To show the Passage of time I recently had a vlslt from one of my earliest scholars, who mentioned that his son had passed through College llllCl was now professionally en- gaged in another part. of Canada. It was not hard to secure s. position as teacher in a rural school, fnr male teachers were scarce. The salary was low, and ln consequence the male teach- er taught only .ti1l he saved ellflllgh to pay his fare to the United States or to Western Cdh- adn then in process of expan- slon. School-teaching was thus left in the hands of young women, who did it remarkably well, con- sidering the handicaps under which "they labored, First came ihe’ question of lodgings. There] was no house attached lo the rural school mas in Englnndl, en the teacher lodged at the nearest farm-house. Money was very scarce in those days and there was some competition “to board the teacher." If the teacher 21cc‘.- ed to board at A's place, B couldn't forgive her. Every move was watched and commented upon, usually before the children. 'I‘his had a bad effect on the discipline and few teachers stayed more then two years at any given school.
