Following is an extract froln ll let-

ter received by Principal Seaman of Prince Street School l`rom his son. Mr. A. W._ Scanlan, M.A.. Principal of Argyle School, Moliireni. Mr. Sea- man has lived in M'ontreal for the past four and n ilnlf years and is ill n, position to know the situation ill the province oi' Quebec. wlliell lu- tloscribes most interestingly:

in its relation to the political sitti-

ation of Camilla as it whole _thg posi- tion of this province assilincs a posi- t_lon of the very highest inlport:lilcc_ il position fraught with the possillillties gf grnvest danger, yet constitutes a problem which is capable oi' n very :-impl.~ limi safe soilltioll.

They are simply Canadian. (‘an- adian only, and. t'roln tha- narrow vis- ion of the ilneducated and provincial mind. entirely unable to see the sig

Martin. ami Laver- gne (tho last. now tliscrcllitcd even among his own followers) have ap- preciated this feeling and from the outset ot their careers have matic use of it; while many ol` higller cilaractl-~ and patriotic purpose have not scrup- led to avail tilf-nlselvc'-s oi' this nscfu
