In the addresses given at the olosing exercises ni
Prince of \\~" ales College the stirrings of the new move-
ment iii education were very apparent. The need Of
better equipment on the part of the teachers, the need
of more interest on the part of the parents~ the need of
better housing for the schools were emphasized. The
importance of laying foundatioiis, of more thoroughly
training the children in the elementary subjects was.
touchcd upon and the fact clearly pointed out that,
without eliicient teachers it is impossible to have satis-_
factory primary schools, impossible also to receive as
satisfactory results from Prince of, \Vales College as'
would be the case were the students thoroughly trained
in the primary schools.
Prince of Wales College has long been looked upon
as one of the foremost educational institutions in Ca-
nada. Its students for many years past have been
going out to iill places of distinction in all professions.
These students came from the elementary schools,
many of thcin from the country. It was very largely
on the training that they received in these schools that
their success in Prince of \\`ales College and in their_
professional career_depended_ `
The bane of our schools for many years past has
been the insufFicie-ncy of the salaries paid to teachers,
A generation ago the salaries paid to teachers, although
not as large as at present- were, in comparison with
the rcniuncraiion in other einployiiients, fairly gene-
rous. Siiice then, however, salaries in all other cal-
liiigs have increased. 'l`he average employee on the
farm, in the store, in the factory has almost if not'
quite doubled his wages. With this increase the salaries
paid to teachers have not kept pace» and forthat rea-
son other einployments and other professions have at-
tracted our best young men leaving the schools largely
in the hands of women, most of them young and re-
maining'in tlieprofessioii only until a more remunera-
tivg' position oi`t`ers. And the waiting is usually of
short duration especially for the ambitious and the
capable. ;
\\7ithin the past few ydars the governni'eiit _-has
done much to rcinedy this condition. As far.as thc'
meagre revenue of the province would permit they
have increased the teaclier's salaries' and offered ni-_
ducemcnts and encouragenients by way of bonuses
for ciiicieiicy etc_, Yet, iiotwitlistaiidiiig these ad-
ditions the fact remains that thesalaries available to
teachers and the inducements to remain in the pro-
fession are in many cases less attractive than the many
other opportunities ivhich are opcn to them and the re-
sult, even in ilic face of recent iniprovenients is that a
very large proportion of our schools must remain for
some time to come in the hands of young teachers who
remain in the profession only until a .better vocation
presents itself,
is there no remedy? The government has increas-
ed its annual grant for cdticatioii to a point at which
it has been accused of extravagancc; has increased it
practically to the ilimit of its resources compatible with
its obligations in other directions_ 'l`lie remedy then
lies in the lniinls of the people. 'l`liose school 'districts
which are siiilicieiitly interested in the education of
their children must pay the price, must so increase
their supplement to the teaclier’s salary as to secure the
best teacher available and to retain his services when
secured. And such an undertaking on the part ol a

During the sitting of the Legislature the Leader
of the Opposition and his friends carried on vigorous
campaigns against the Hon. J. A. McNeill and tlie
Hon. Charles Dalton. The first campaign came to a
disastrous tcriniiiation' when the Government intro-
duced a resolution to give Mr. Bell and his colleagues
tions as iiauseous as their previous allegations were
ex_travagant and unfounded, `
The second campaign_ was continued almost to the
principal lieutenants discovered that their own sup-
porters were disgustcd with their tactics- inthis case
also they concluded with \vords of coniniendation and
praise for f\1r. Dalton on a par with their adulatioii of
.\lr. McN'eill. All their allegations were utterly base-
less, and were made simply for the purpose of belitt-
ling Mr. Dalton’s great beiiefactioii in presenting the
Dalton Sanatoriuni to the province. We thought with'
their miserable campaign in the columns of the Pio 'V
neer_ Our Suiniiiersidc contemporary came out on
Saturday with a complete rehash of all the baseless
charges made by i\lr. Bell in the course of the late
session. I _
It would seein that the Leader of the Opposition
is so constituted that he cannot appreciate unselfish ge-
nerosity on the part of others. 1-Iis mind seems to be
so absorbed with things material and bace that a spon-
taneous act of charitable muniiicence by a politicali
opponent raises in him only a spirit of envy» stispicioif
and distrust. He evidently has no room in his coin-'
position for that iiiagnaiiimity cliaracteristc of the
truly cliivalrous,f_all lie sees is the sordid dross; the
.spirit aniinating._tlie gift, the essence of love and
thouglitfulness for threatened humanity. this to him
is as nothing, albeit it is the greatest thing in the
world. Milton portrayed the prototype of such ina-
terialists in - _ .
“* l* ~ “‘ the least erected spirit that fell front
.lleavenf foreveii in Heaven his looks and thoughts
were always 'downward bent, admiring more the
riches of lleavenfs pavement, trodden gold, than aught
divine or holy else enjoyed in vision beatiiic," `
Mr, Dalton’s‘-generosity has povided‘a sanatoriuiii
or anything else in connection with the institution?
gift by directing the attention and thought of the pub-
lic away to what might have been done with the money
in other directions It is open to Mr Lell or any other
P Y
campaign, and God knows there is plenty room for
such pliilantliropic enterprise in otir midst_ But that
is no reason why the Leader of the Opposition sliould
ciatiiig Mr, Dalton’s effort to alleviate the lot of those
already threatened with the dread disease, and for
ivlioni science has proved» there is still hope, if trea-
scliool district and in such a cause should not be too ted ina Sanatoriuni such as Mr. Dalton has provided. '
