ANOTHER GREAT BO0N

Premier Mathieson has just succeeded in obtaining an-

other great boon forthe farmers of this Province. The Li\'€ swell Department of ottawa are giving grants 10 Cerwin EX' hibitions and were in communication with the manage- ment of the Charlottetown Exhibition Associa- tion on the subject. Under the conditions of such ,grants the minimum was fixed at such a figure as in its effect to exclude this Province from the benefits of this special grant. The matter was taken up by Premier liluthleson. and on going to Ottawa recently he laid the whole facts before the Department of AEfi0U1l\ll'€. Wm!

the result that yesterday morning the Secretary of the Exhi_ 'bition Association, Mr. (7. ll. Smallwootl, received a letter in' forming him that $2,500 would be added to the ggrant for th¢ live-stock classes prize-list, provided that the Exhibition to bc held in Cliarlottetown in September next will be open in all classes-live stock and others-to the whole of Canada. Thc manngeinent ofthe Exliibitioltreatlilycomplied with his request and the Exhibition to he held in Charlotte- town will be open to all Canada. and the live stock prizes, at least, will bo increased individually by about 50 per cent_ ln addition. thc Exhibition Association will undertake to pay the extra freight from the county lines of the central county. Queens, on all live stock exhibits coming from Prince and Kings Counties. This means that a person exhibiting from Albcrton, for instance, will pay the whole freighi, but will have refunded by the Exhibition Associ- ation the pro rata amount of the mileage from the county line to Alberton. The whole Province. and especially the farmers will appreciate this further grant for the develop- ment of our main industry ami th_c Exhibition in Charlotte- town with it.

1>A'riuor's Rrruiarlou noourn

'l`he Patriot is in abject' despair. ln a more chastened

mood than on the previous day, our contemporary yester- dn_\'>sorrn\\'i`uil_\' admitted that all the so-called “disclos- nres" it threatened to make had already been published b_\' the Govcrimient. and it cannot understand how a. gov- ernment can be so honest and upright as to publish all its transactions so that even the Patriot requires no delving to get thc information it requires. But it must be remem- bcreil the i’ai.rioi has been brought up in a different school, a school which thought that it \vas the first duty of a gov- ernment to Iiidc. conceal and never reveal its transactions, to prevent the light oi` day getting in upon them, anti it comes as ii surprise to our contemporary to run up against a government that has nothing to hide, a government that puts in type full particulars ami details of its account ing. a government that \villingly places in the hands of a non-member of the House, sent on “a fishing expedition,” every account, andv every item ol' intornmtion which he asked for through constitutional channels. It kept back nothing because it had nothing to be ashamed of.

The Patriot deals in insinuations and threats. Now this

is it mode oi' political warfare to which we are unaccus- tomed and, moreover. which we despise. But sometimes it is necessary and requisite,-and onemayfindit necessary to follow the example set by onc’s political opponents, just as in the case of active war-fare the British find it obliga- iory to fresori to poisonous gases because the German for rcgardlcss ui' all the laws of nations ami humanity itself, have been using them extensively with disastrous results to our brave Canadians. The washing of dirty linen in public is never very cdifying. but if that be the Sort of controversy The Patriot prefers, then that 'is the kind of controversy it shall have-and we know whose reputation ~-und whose reputation only-will suffer from East 1’olnt

to North (,`apc_ The l’atriot's reputation is doomed.

'rrA`Eiu:Rs' §uQLI-:MENTS

lieserting its ground as usual the Patriot in its yester-

dn_v'a issue raised u new point for us to answer. We are always pleased when the Patriot asks questions as there is no better way, as we have said before, of bringing dir- ectly home to our readers the blessings they enjoy under

_t_l_\e present administration.

'Flip Patriot asks: “Was not the carrying over of the

teachers' bonuses ami supplements into the year 1915 for 1914. so that a surplus might be created, concealment und uttempting to cover up the true condition of affairs?"

No, it certainly was not. If our contemporary would

refer io page 17 of the Chief Superlntendent’s report on cducutlon, it would find the following with reference to the new urrangement:- r "Under the old system of payment it was not unusual for ii teacher to take charge of a school opening the first of September. leach one month, send in quarterly returns, receive thq :|uurtcr’s pay and go ol! to college or some- where else, leaving his successor to work for three months for the same pay as had just been given for one month's work. The monthly payment system completely obvistes that anomaly and secures to each teacher the pay he actually earns. bo far at least' as the statutory allowance is concerned.

0 O Q Q tt

‘I presled upon the Board of Education the advlsabiilty

of, . _ . . .making each ierm to consist of five teach- ing months and ensuring the equitable payment of teachers in proportion to the work done. My recommendation was finally 'accepted and the change which came into force _in Dobemher, gives us a system of payment that is just and fair to all concerned."

That' is the history of the change of the method of pay-

ing the bonuses and supplements and our renders will ses that the Patriot which has this infomation under its thumb. is only attemrtius to un-ow dust in peopleg' eyes

Thus. even allowing forthe $18,000 which the Patriot

wrongly claims should have been included in 1914 ac- counts, the government has a surDil\B 0! 325.750.

Our readers will see' that the more questions the Patriot

raises the better it succeeds in proving to the country the magnificent financial showing the government has made.

C0-UPERATIVE W00l. _MARKETING

From the Public Service Monthly, published by the

Provincial Department of Agriculture oi' Saskatchewan, we clip the followtng. in further reference to co-operative Wool Marketing dealt with editoriaily lu our columns Thursday:

“ln view of the fact that last year's experiment in co-

operative wool marketing resulted in the sheep owners who participated receiving from 6 1-4 to 8 cents per pound advance on the price of the year before, it is quite natural that the offer of the Department to again act as selling agent should be much more widely adopted than it was last year. Mr. W. W. Thomson, director of cooperative organizations, in response to the circulars which were sent to 965 sheep owners, has received assurances that 15,500 lleec-es will be shipped in this way, as against 10,000 last year, and from present indications a price of 20 cents per pound is quite within the range of possibil’ty.

"It is obvious, however, that the sheep owners must learn

the lesson which has been so long and forcibly impressed on the buttermakers, namely, that if they wish to obtain the highest price, they must prepare their product for market in such a manner as to meet the requirements of the trade. lt is a pity to see a maxi whose wool may be as good as the best receiving only a portion of the price he might have got by taking a little extra pains and going to a small additional expense. The correct methods to bc followed in preparing and shipping the fleeces to market are concisely set out in an instruction sheet which accom- panied tho circular, and if these directions, which are not hard to follow, are carefully' adhered to, the wool shipper will receive at least 25 per cent. more than he is otherwise likely to do."

This puts the matter in a nutshell. The people of Sas-

katchewan huve received for their wool 6 1-4 to 8 cents per pound more for their wool when properly graded and prepared for market than they had eceived under the old _system ol' simply selling wool, without regard to quality. and they are going to follow it up. '

We understand that in this Province the Department of

Agriculture is making arrangements for giving demonstra- tions in the marketing and grading of wool and that hence- forth our farmers will have an opportunity of receiving the highest price for thc best grades, while those who are

.lcontent to sell-just wool-regardless of quality must be ‘ content to accept just what they can get.

\Ve note that in Saskatchewan the Provincial Depart-

ment of Agriculture is acting as the selling agent in our Province our wide-awake merchants who have been for years in the wool trade will no doubt readily adapt them'- selves to' the changing conditions and adopt the system of paying for wool according to quality. Herelofore they have bought-and no doubt sold-just wool, they and their customers losing thereby probably as much as the Saskat- chewan furmers were losing before they adopted the pre- sent system.

Naturally, unlessall the farmers take hold of this matter,

little benefit will result from the demonstration about to be established. A small proportion of first quality wool, purchased in small lots from scattered farmers, would not materially affect the market, nor would it pay a merchant to bother with it_ There is room here for a wide co-oper- ative movement in which both the farmers and the mer- chants will largely profit.

We trust that the demonstrations about to be given will

meet with the fullest encouragement and that every far- mer will do what he can to help it along. Our wool clip is a large asset and if made to yield a few cents extra per pound will make a big addition to our annual revenue.

1 rariuorlc SUNDAY A

An urgent request from those in authority has been re-

ceived asking the clergy of New Brunswick ami Prince Edward Island to emphasize at the church services on Sabbath next, the 23rd inst.. the need of recruits for the war. The New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island

its full strength, and should be completed within a week or two.

We are not only protraciing this cruel war but are also

needlessly sacrificing valuable lives at the front by thc lack of reinforcements. We would respectfully ask all the clergy of Prince Edward island to carry out the fore- going request.

Germany is reported to want to arbitrate thc murder

of the Americans on the Lusitania with the United States. That cold-blooded butchery is capable of being arbitratcd is a new doctrine.

Nor even will the crucifixion of Canadian soldiers by

the l-inns break the spirit that sends them to the front.

_ They will avenge that crowning form of "frlghtfulucss” also. . _

if Germany refuses to abandon her submarine methods.

, what then? The President of the United States will know that the Commanders are acting on the orders of the German Government, and, again, what then?

A report from Colonel Carson, of Montreal. now doing

deity in England, says that a supply of medium-weight Cau- adian footwear would be apreciatcd by the Canadian troops,'who do not fancy the British army boot for sum- mer service. This is complimentary of a Canadian article that came in for much abuse after having been put to what many claim was an unfair test.

The Toronto Mail and Empire says: The Union' Gov-

ernment han loyally performed its part of the work, and the operations against German Southwest Africa are n success. As General Botha said in his address to his troops on Wednesday, the capture of Windhoek is of ut- most importance to the Empire and the Union' of South Africa. The dlspossession of Germany removes a con- stant source of had influence and danger to the Union. With German Southwest Africa brougbtuudar _the British flag there will be nothing to hinder the peaceful develop- ment of the great British dominion of whose Government General Botho is tho_.iisld. ` , _

The 26th annual meeting of the

Eastern Teachers' Association was held in Souris on .Friday and Satur- day, May 14th and 15th, 1915. The enrolment was sixty-four-a. very cred-

Xtable number considering the scatter-

ed territory of the two inspeotorotes represented, By common consent this was considered one of the most successful conventions in the history of the association.

in the opening address inspector

Cain referred to the many changes that had transpired since last year’s meeting. The great national tragedy in.Europe is uppermost in all the minds. A comparatively large pro- portion of the members of the profes- sion have nobly responded to the call of their King and country, one at,least being on the honor list among the casualties. All the teachers have shown their patriotism both by actual work and`in the money contributions. Reference was also made to the bene- fits of the Summer School as noticed _ln the more optlmlsticattiturle and eillcleni. work of the teachers. Mr.

,Cain had much more to say, but pres-

sure of time would not permit.

Mr. E D. Feehan, Principal of

Souris High School was then called upon to read his excellent paper on “The Teacher and Her Work." The dignity and importance of the work should lead teachers to look upon it

paratiou and that only after one is sure of the correctness of the choice of vocation. Character building is the primal work of the teacher and she should never lose sight of this fact. The tone of Mr. Feeban‘s pa- per in this connection was one of moral excellence. The duties of the teacher were clearly outlined. What more worthy object can be attained than the inculcatlon of the grand prin- ciples of love. loyalty and truth? Or- ganization and discipline were also ably dealt with in this paper. Mr. Mullaily led the discussion, and was ably followed by inspector Mullins.

lius regretted that teaching in P. E island had not reached the status of a. vocation of profession, though he ventured the assertion that there are indications that point toward that very desirable end. Ile emphasized what Mr. Feehan had said in regard to discipline. A vote oi` thanks was tendered Mr. Feehau ai the close of the discussion.

Miss Helena MacDonald. of the

W‘omen's institute, read an excellent paper outlining the important work of the Institutes in conection with our schools. Sanitary drinking cups and drinking fountains, wash basins ami towels have been provided and many school improvements have been made through the institutes. They aim to promote better social conditions and co-operation in these improvements as well as a broad outlook that they may sink what is narrow and petty, and work unanimously in school. Miss McDonald‘s paper was of a very high order and was heartily appreciated by the teachers. The papers were discussed by inspector Cain and Mr. 'George Green.

Mr. M. Coughlin of the Department

of Agriculture, then addressed the convention on the relations between the teacher anti the parents. His speech was vigorous and encouraging to the teachers.

The next paper was one on “Eng-

lish in Our Schools,” by Mr. Frank McPhee, Cardigan. He strongly ad- vocated morc efficient methods ot' teaching this most important subject. lu setting these forth. Mr. McPhee gave evidence of superior ability as a teacher of English. Children should be taught to love English, older pup- ils to commit to memory gems of poetry that will be a source of plea- sure to them in after years. The value of composition in connection with the study of English was em- phasized. Selections for supplemen- tary reading for entrance pupils were criticized ami suggestions made for its improvement. This splendid paper wus discussed at length by Messrs. Murphy, Mullins, Green and McCar- thy. Seldom hus any convention been favored with such a valuable paper as Mr. Mcl’hee's.

Mr. Gerald McCarthy, Principal ot'

the Georgetown High School then read a most practical paper on the “Teach- ing and Study of Geography.” Mr. McCarthy always shows an unusual facility in using apt expressions and in this paper. his presentation of the subject was indeed masterly ami ef- fective. Among other things he said. "do not appear before a class with a text book in such a way as to indi- cate utter helplessness without it. Know your subject and lead your pup- ils through the mazes of definitions,

OLD OR YOUNG AT PORTY.

(Cleveland “Plain Deuler.")

A physical director in the Young

Men's Christian Aasiclatlon who has examined more than 2,000 city men in the past-year says that he finds the type physically deteriorating. The average business man, he says. grows old before his time. At forty, he finds, the business man has many of the symptoms of actual old age and of- ten seems on the verge of a physical breakdown.

This is familiar ialk. The difficulty

is that so much of t is so nearly true. The encouraging part of it. on the other hand, is that ,few men need to be old at forty unless they choose.

ln a large measure, it is an op-

tional matter. lf one keeps his nose to the grindstone of business, eats too much, indulges himself too freely, gets no physical exercise and takes his business cares home and to bed with him every night, he is pretty likely to be what the director says he ls.

The suggestion that it man-or wo-

man-is old at forty ought ‘to be ab- surd. That it is not absurd is some- thing nf a reflection upon that portion of us who, because we are unwilling to take little trouble, are actually bringing on an _at forty.
