no doubt that pu blir opinion throug hout the Province will applacd ¢he Government in making reasonable and sufficient pros yision for the education of tke blind chit-

drea of Prince Edward Island. While it is

true that the Province is financially ip a

bad way, it is also true that ment may ecouomize in other directions in order that our chileren deprived of the

THE WAR PROSPECT.

Qra despatches of today confirm the belief that Spain must be compelled to yield Cuba. The government and Con- grese cf the United States baving decided to make war to this enc we have no doubt the weople of the United States will uni- tediy and vigorously enter upon the war and try to make itas sic as possible.

Then Professor Fraser camedforward and announced the firs! namber @n the pro gramme, a selection by the band of the institution, “The Liberty Bell,” .\by Sousa. This selection was played very wel!, and

the Govern*| during the course of the evening the band

contributed several other good pumbers There were also two clarionet solos, (one by Mr. Vernon Jones, of Pownal) and cornet aod piano solos by others of the senior papils. The janior pupils also gave some voeal and instrumental selections, the rendering of which was very creditable. There were also several readings, and vocal solos by Miss Maxweil and Mr. Chisholm of the staff, besides one or two oumbers by the choir, all of which were wel} given. The pupils were also pnt through lessons in arithmetic, geography, and typewriting, and the proficiency they displayed in these branches indicates the thorougbness of the

instruction that is smparted in the School fur the Biind. It was very evident as, Professor Fraser ree marked, that what they know they know.

Towards the close of the entertainment Proteseor Fraser briefly explained the aims and objects of the School for the Blind at Halifax, pointing out that by its aid those who are deprived of sight may be eo trained as to be able to earn their own livelihood instead or becoming a bur- dew upon their relatives in the Province. Scores of graduates of the School are now earning their own living, eome of them be- ing married and having homes of their

own. The School at Halifax, has throwoa open its doora to the Blind of the Provinces of Nova Scotia, New

Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, as well as those of the Colony of Newfound~ land, and in five years ihe number of pupils enrolled has increased from 54 to 104, the latter being the number on the register today. The blind children have the same

} not wish this to be the caze, and fell

right to free education as children who are blessed with sight. The Government of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have recegnized this fact and legislation has

been enacted making provision for the free educat'on ofthe blind of these provinces. |

Each province pays $150 for every pupil educated atthe School forthe Blind’ and the Government of Newfoundland contributes a like sum for each pupil from the ancient colony. The Government of Prince E¢ward Island have contented thewselvee with iving the lump sum of $390. This was | right when there were onlv two pupils rom this province, but when the number increased to six it wasentireiy insufficient. At the present time the Government of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick ana New~- foundland aré aetually payiog fur educat~ icg the blied of Prince Edward Island. He believed the peonle of the Province did eure they would support the Legislature in any action they might take ia the way of mak. ing matters all right in this respect.

Dr. McLeod then came forward and submitted the following resolution :

Resolved, that this meeting endorses the principle ofthe free education of the blind; and further resolved that the Gov- ernment and Legislature of this Province are herewith respectfully recommended to make statutory provision for the free education of the blind of Prinee Edward Island.

Resolved, that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Provincial Government.

In supporting the resolution Dr McLeol spoke teelingly of the blind,and expressed

a & a ¢

himself as being in fall sympathy with the movement for their free education. Dr. Taylor seconded the motion. He

also expressed his sympathy for those

afflicted pereons and hoped such legislation t

his sympathy with the blind. He would be recreant to his duty if be did not do all in his powerto aid in ther education. But the Premier held the purse-striogs.

Mayor Warburton was also delighted with the performance avd congratulated Professor Fraser upon the efficency of his pupils. Hedeclined, however, to say what action the City Council would take in tae matter of educating the blind.

The resolution was then put and carried unamiously, and after further re~ marks from Professor Fraser the ezter- tainment was brought to a close.
