of one of ourlead- |’h

in his annual report the Superintendent of Education

says: “The year covered by this Report has been marked _ by steady and substantial progress. `Tlie enrolment, which in 1889 had reached its maximum of 23,045. declined al- most steadiiy till, in 1912. it stood at 17.078. Since then the iuoveiuent has been continually upward. ln 1913 the enrolment was 17,555, an increase of 477 over that of the preceding year. This year it is 18,069 or 514 more than that of last year. a gain of 991 in two years. Tile average daily attendance reached its maximum of 13.412 in 1896. and its iniiliriium of 10,511 in 1911. Since then there has been a steady improvemeiit. in 1912 it was 10,916, an in- crease of 405 over that of the preceding year. In 1913 it ` was 11,003, a further increase of 87. Tllls year it is 11,173 which is 170 better than that of the preceding year, a total gain of 662 in the three years. Front statistics already in the Education Office it is safe to say that the school year ending June 30th, 1915. will show a still more marked ini- , provement in these respects. This steady increase in en- rolment and attendance. after a long period ol' continuous decline, is most encouraging and .shows clearly that de terioration has been checked and definite progress has

begun.

"‘Tliere is, I am .sorry to say, already observable a

weakening in the morale of the teachers, a looseness in their regard for obligations, a carelessness in their attitude towards accuracy, and a llmpness of fibre in the perform-

ance of their school duties." _ “__

And furtller oil he .says:-

‘Another and very serious result of tile present educa-

“France today would undoubtedly like to borrow a

hulf billion at 5 per cent. in the United States. if we had to go to war. I think that she might get a billion here at 4 per ceiit. very quickly and get lt direct from Uncle Sam's Treasury."

LIBERALS AND FEDERAL AID

in its yesterdays editorial The Patriot objects to the'

yrovincc receiving $5.000 per year from the Federal Aid G

rant for the purpose of education, and classes it as an,

increased expenditure and extravagance on the part of the local Government". This is on a par with the objection raised by the Liberals in the Senate when the Road Grant

was killed. and the Province deprived of $50,000 in four years-a sum which would have gone a long way to make

our roads the most perfect highways in Canada. The

attitude of the Liberals in this respect is becoming notor- iously unpatriotic. Every movement on the part of the Island to improve its position financially and otherwise finds inveterate opponents in the Patriot, Mr. J. J. Hughes,

and others of that ilk. Their doom is imminent.

' ` NUTES

iii connection with the relatively large numbers of

casualties reported ili the Canadian corps in the war zone. it is well to recall again tllat there is a distinction be- tween casualties and deaths. While the casualties are mounting up-towards six thousand, the deaths reported are still under one thousand. The greater number are wound- ed, some of them only in a slight way; and even of the

seriously injured the proportion of fatalities is siiiall. Front

The striking words quoted above, though doubtless true

of tile time in which they were written. couldlnot be used to characterize the conditions that exist to-day. Now the educational outlook is extremely hopeful; the euroltnent and the attendance are botll increasing; the teachers, with very few exceptions, are working faithfully and are show- ing a constantly increasing skill and a very keen desire to excel; the granting of permits to temporary teachers has completely ceased. Tile greater consideration sliown to teachers during tile past few years. the very substantial illcreases made in their salaries, the better training which they now receive, the frequent and thorough inspection and careful supervision of aehoola now made ponlble by the 'appointment of a sufficient number of competent inspec- torl, and the change in the course of studios, which seeks to place the emphasis. iii school work, on the training of boys and girls for life in their own communities, have all

contributed their share to the present hopeful educational outlook."
