You will find between Charlottetown and Mount Stewart o. narrow section of country bor- dered by the ‘Gulf of St. Lawrence on the North and the East River on the south. The people living in Southern Queens and Kings cannot get to this place except by Mount Stewart or Hiilsbomugh bridge. Through this narrow sec- tion they have the railway from Charlottetown to the East. They are getting the National Park in there, and I read of a recent meeting in East Royalty asking to get the paved highway in there also. I think our frlqids north of the East River have churches and bibles and are Christian peo- ple. But I am afraid they forgot what la aaici about loving their neighbors u themselves. They can travel between Mount Stew- art and Charlottetown by train, road, or water, and they forget that there fl from twenty-five to 3m at Quito! By- lame: W. Brill. l...

Those people between the East River and the South Shore would like to get a little of the benefit and how can they if they put the road up behind the East River where they cannot get to it. I suppose the southern people will have to pay their share of the construc- tion and the upkeep. And to add insult to injury another meeting at St. Peters proposed ho can? it along the North Shore to Soul-la. I wonder 1f we who live in the south would ask that the paved highway come down through Eldon, Wood Island to Murray Harbor, how would it sound to our friends in the north. And yet they are just as entitled to itasthose on the north side. and I am quite sure that not one of the above men- tioned piaoes would ask for it. All we ask for is a. central high- way, not along shore roads, but inland where it is most need, and where all can get a little benefit, At the present session we are look- ing to the representatives of the south for a fair deal.

J. W. A. Nicholson. Being a. resi- dent of New Bnmswlck, I have, of course, no business to poke my nose into a discussion of P. E. I. schools, and I would hold my tongue if Mr. Nicholson's remarks were ap- plicable lo these alone. But it seems .0 me that his wise words apply equally well to the schools of all Canada, and therefore I hope the ring is open to all comers. May I congratulate Mir. Nichol- son on his courage, common sense and genuine public spirit? And may I express the fervent hope that his words will be pondered by all con- concemed with the proper educa- tion of our children)? If Mr. Nich- olson were a man of little educa- tion himself, his indictment of the "criminal waste" of teaching (or rather pretending to teach) the av- erage child Algebra, Geometry and foreign languages might carry little weight. But there is no man In Canada more highiy educated in the strictly academic sense-or (what is of vastly greater import- ance) more truly and profoundly cultured. I am glad to Ieam that it is the farmers of P. E. I. who have "raised the question of champion- lng our common school studies." As Mr. Nicholson indicates, the ques- tion has been raised, times with- out number by the highest educa- tional experts all over the world. More than 30 years ago, tn the class of Pcdngogics at Glasgow Un- iversity, I was amazed t0 find that most of the educational methods and curricula then (and still) in vogue had Tong been laughed at by all real educators.

It has to go down into the stomach than into small intestine from whence it is absorbed into the blood and carried to the iaiace or places where it. is to do its work. Why 1B there not a quicker or shorter method? When a drug is inserted into or under the skin it reaches the blood stream scnner and it is that much sooner effective. That is why the hypodermic injections of morphine to ease pain or strychnine to strengthen the heart are given by the hypodermic method. In addi- tion to being effective that much sooner, only half the quantity is necessary as when given by the mouth. . However "evolution ls the laiw of nature.” “Evolution in science and art of medicine has changed funda- mentally the methods of treating diseases. From the original or prim- itive method of giving drugs by mouth to the giving of medicine by the hypodermic syringe was a long sic-n forward, and. from injecting under the skin to injecting dfreotfy into the muscle was the next log- ical step. But from injecting into the mus- cle a further step just had to be made. It has come and it has come to stay for in time the 1n- jecting of the ding or medicine into the vein will be the usual 0r only method." I am quoting; from an editorial in Clinical Medicine and surgery taken from tho Journal of Intra- venous Medication, India. To the average individual taking medicine by mouth .is serious enough, to have it injected into the skin or muscle is still more serious, but to have it put directly into a vein seems almost beyond under- standing. And yet “as it is the blood that must receive the drug and carry it medicine clirccty into the blood by putting it into a vein is simpler and surer than to depend upon its reaching the blood after having to be handled by the stomach and In- testinal Iulces. There is a saving of time and effort and a prevention 0d’ lmytaerfect action and uncertain ef- ec " Under clean or aseptic conditions the administering of the needed drug by the vein in certain dread diseases has brought about cures in months instead of taking years. Giving by the vein a fluid food in extreme weakness before. during and after operation has saved many lives. While it may be some time before most of us get used to the idea of linviniz drugs or foods administer- ed by the vein instead of by mouth. there is no denying the advantages of the method. other day I heard Dr. Tmeman. President of Mount Allison Univer- sity, utterly condemn the schools of New Brunswick and declare that they were worse now than 50 yr ago. But tuiivcrsity presidents and educational experts have all spoken in vain. That. is why I rejoice to hear that the job is being tackled by another cuss-the farmers. It is the farmers who pay the piper, and therefore it is the far- mers who ought to call the tune. Perhaps o. bunch of honest agri- cultural workers will succeed where more scholars and experts have failed. But if the fnmicrs are go- ing to succeed, then, as Mr. Nich- olson says, "they must, push. and push again, and keep on pushing." And I think they must. use the sharpest of all weapons -— the weapon of their economic power. In other words, refuse to pay taxes for a kind oi‘ education that is useless, dangerous and farcical. And let tlicm make that. refusal ns an or- gnnlzcd body, determined to the inst innn ilinl- their hard-canted money shall no longer be wasted mid that tho children they Iove shall no longer bc denied a. worth- while, ltoncst-to-goodncss educa- tion. _ I mu.

But the narrow house was the larger an- cestry; His second Christmas was after all, from a very slender root -a small fragment of the race of man. But Easter Day was his true Christmas. It came from man himself-man at the lowest, and, therefore, man, at the widest. We do not all sit in the house of David; but. we all rest in the house of death That is to me the charm of Easter Day. It is not simply that. Christ ascended; it. la that he ascended from our most hopeless state, our most universal state. There have been other vtione of ascending souis- We have seen Enoch ascend- ing; we lmve seen Elijah ascending. But even while we gaze, we are parted from them. We feel that their rising has not come from the common ground, the ground of our corruption; there is a great gulf fixed between us. But when Cilrist rises we rise with tum. We feel that He has risen out of our dust, out of our mlry clay. We‘ see him borne upwards on no impossible chariot of fire, but on the wing; of our human weakness. We see Him ascend from no vanished stem of royalty, but from the meanest level of tho iowliest soil. The porsi- btiity which Eiaster reveals is the possibility of deathb own life. And so, I can understand why ft is written, "Come, see the place where the Iord lay." The place it- self has received a promise. Noth- ing but Blaster Day can make me Dut flowers upon my brother's grave. Not even Eiljahb chariot could do that. That. would be an immortality purchased by the es- cape of death. But Thou, O Lord, hast lighted my toumh within the valiey- Thou hast biosomed from my barren soil. Thou hast bloomed from the ground of my winter. Thou hast shone from the depth of my night. Thou hast smiled from the mlst of my tears. It is with the key of death that Thou hart opened heaven; it 1s in the robes of my grave Thou hast found revival. Thou hast magnified my dust; therefore I deck it with flowers. I put immortelles on the grave to say that death is a delusiom-to tel], not so much that it isconquered, asthat it had no need to be conquered- Thou host destroyed, not death, but death's deception; the resurr- ection from the dead is the message of Easter Day. crops would be n. difficulty, which is not the case with the much larger variety of fruit-s and vege- tables required by a cannery, which could be alternated among them- selves. 4. After refining the annual har- vest of beets the factory would be closed down for the greater part of the year unless raw cane sugar were imported and in that event freight would be against this pro- vince in competition- with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. 5. The annual reserve set up for depreciate! -u, obsolescence and re- pairs of the refinery buildings and plant would be at least ten per- cent, say 3150.000. and that sum would ultimately have to be paid by the farmers who produce the beets, unless cane raw sugar were imported to share the cost with them. There is always safety in num- bers and variety, and, from the farmers’ standpoint, the canning industry oflers many advantages over beet. sugar refining. Fan-ther- more the capital investment in a cannl factory would be consid- erably ess than In a sugar refill- ery. I am, Sir,‘ etc., ll. K. S. IIEMMING.

Their typical reply when asked this quel- tton is likely to be the typical re- play of all modem would-be re- formers of education, namely, cut out the unessential. If asked w state specifically what they mean by the unessentlal in our present public school curriculum they will likely say Latin, French, Algebra and Geometry, but they will fail ho tell you just what they intend to substitute in place of these subjects More practical agriculture they may say, but they will utterly fall to explain in what manner this Bil- rlcuiture should be "taught, and why an eighteen year 01d girl 0M tench agriculture in a ooilnl-fy school better than the average far- mer and his wife can teach it tn their children at home on a farm.
