Boston Markets.

APRIL 21. Porators.—The market continues very dull with prices ruling altogether in buyers’ favor. Chere is a large stock at the Eastern road and «+ good many lots are being urged off at low prices to avoid paying demurrage charges There are also a good many emall lots coming in by rail and vessel, odds and enda that coun try dealers wish to get rid of, but with the market ic its present condition such stock has te go for what it will bring, rarely at over 30 cents per bushel. Receivers are asking about the price quoted, but rather than lege a sale will make very liberal concessions. Eacs.—Receipts are still moderate and since Monday best murks of Michigan and western have been selling for the most part at 15 cents, but demand has not been active and only strictly choice fresh arrivals have been saleable at thie price. Some very good marks of western sell at 143 cents. The stored stock is now pretty well cleaned up. Eastern extras firm at 15 cents. Western, fair to gxod, 13 to 14 cents ; Provincial, choice fresh, }5c. Fresh Meat.—The beef market has been fairly tirm this week and sales have averaged a little better, but prices are not quotably higher, the general range is still at 6 to 7c, the latter for very choice steers. Extra mut- ton has a steady moderate sale at 9 to 9c, and now and then an extra lot at 10c. Lambs ti mand selling fairly, best western at 12 to 1242. Receipts cf veals have been increasiog and since Monday the tendency has been to lower prices. The market closes dull at 8 to 9: for best eastern with most sales at 8: and under. Burrex —There has been a steady moderate demand for fine table goods this week vith prices generally well sustained. Extra north- ecn creimery is selling at 22 to 232, but must be strictly fine to bring the outside. Extra western selling generally at 22c, with firsts in limited deman { at about 20c. The lower grades are quiet and easy. New northern dairy is coming forward freely and as a rnle meets with a duil sale. Most lots are more or less off in flavor. The finest Vt. lots are not quotable at over 20c, and 19. is about the top tor best N. Y. Common to good stock moves off slowly at 15 to 17c. Oat MeaL.— Quiet at $4 to 4.25 per bbl. for ground, cut and rolled. Oats.—The spot market is short of supplies and . sales of clips have been made at 42 to 424c, although sales ia transit are made at 4lic. No, 2 whites are dull at 41c. with No. 3 whites about Ic less. Good sales are made to arrive at 384c for lake and rail, consequent- ly buyers are taking as few as possible under the scarcity. Values are nominal. FLOUR AND GRAIN.—The excitement that was noticeable ten days ago on account of the boom in wheat has all died away, and business the past week has been very flat Buyers will only operate as they ar % forced to have supplies, and then only ir “-gmoderate way. Tue tone is wetimin fouser “Ce, and = values are nearly back to the point at which they “ere ruling when wheat began to advance. ‘The trade have no confidence in high prices, and even at low rates they are not disposed to operate in a speculative way. The con- sumption is going steadily on, and to meet the wants of consumers is all that dealers are disposed to dv. Npring patents are yet held up to $4 75 to 4.85 for the better brands, but some of the more common flours are slow at $4 50 to 4.60. Winter patents are firm and dull, with winter straights and clears in dall demand, but yet held above the basis of spring wheat flours. Low grade flour is dull and entirely nominal in price.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

A Grievance. Srx,—I wish to insert a few lines in your Olivia, which sank at McAuley’s wharf, Pinette, last August, with a cargo of 60 tons of coal Being compelled by the Marine Depart- ment to take her out of the way, | had to sell her for $25, as I had no means at my disposal. I was advised by one of the members of the Government to petition the Lieutenant Governor in Council last year, and 1 did so. I had one hundred names to that petition, and if necessary I could have gotone thousand. As the Gov- ernment is in session now, I want to inform them how I lost the vessel. I hauled in and made fast to the wharf as far as I could get her; at high water at her how was six feet of water, while at her stern was fifteen feet, and at low water she broke all fasts and slipped into the channel and sank, The end ot the wharf was still worse, as the channel runs at an angle to the southeast corner. As the wharf is a Government wharf they should not allow a poor man to lose his roperty, all on account of the place not being redged.

The wharf is very convenient for the farmers of Point Prim and vicinity, but the channel wants to be dredged.

Hoping that the Hon. Neil McLeod will bring this matter before the House, aud that Hon. Mr. Peters and his party will have no objection to doing something in my favor, as it would not be much of a burden on the Province to give me a little help.

Belle Creek, April 23rd, 1892.

Delays are Dangerous.

Sir,—The old nuisance of late trains is again being perpetrated on the West. The special runs through to Summerside tu meet the beat, and remains there all day; not even the twice-a-week fall arrangement is adhered to. And while this extra accom- modation is withheld from the travelling public, the regular mixed trains are drag- ging behind their schedule time by hours. Imagine the torture of the passenger on board, imagine the disgust and fatigue of the person awaiting the train at the station —especially by-stations where no word ofits whereabouts can be had! They may telk as they like about economy, but they ought to keep faith with the public, en- deavor to efford ordinary third-rate facili iies, or shut up+h p., A | tile judicious we-ding-out in our mechanical department, might afford the cheese-paring authorities enough doilars to better to some little ex- tent the present miserable service. The only desire seems to be now to give Char- lottetown, and possibly Summerside, all the conveniences possib'e, and keep the other sections of the Province appealing from Pilate to Herod.

Additional) Instances. S1r,—In remarking further on the re- port of the Superintendent of Education, | will adduce but few additional instances of the faulty composition by which it is dis- tinguished. Sn noting an inersase in the number studying pook-keeping, he says that it is ‘‘very desirable,” not because it is of yreat importance, but because he con- siders it so. Upto the present time, the knowledge of a subject was important in proportion as the age demanded it, but henceforth no branch of Education will be of any weight unless stamped with the sign manual of the Superintendent of Educa- ton. It is hardly necessary to add by way of further comment that had Webster been consulted, the word ‘*desirable” would not have been used as above. In connection with his mention of this subject, I notice that the Superintendent recommends the sppointment of the Principal of the Com- mercial College to a position on the teach- ing staff of the Prince of Wales College.

EMERY O, PENDLETON.

This is no doubt in payment of Mr. Miller's services in connec- tion with the address which the/| Superintendent received when he left bis] old for his present position. On page 16 we read, “‘The comparison of one schovl with another, when the schools do not ad- mit of comparison on account of adverse circumstances, is practically useless and

tion and cramming.’ How it is that schools

with the same adverse circumstances cavrot

be compared is something more than I cau

understand, a8 no condition for a just com- parison is wanting. The writer of couree

intended to say that no fair comparison

could be made when some schools were not

eo favorably situated as others, but this is

just what he did not say. But is the idea which he intended to express a correct

one! Js it wrong to stimulate schools by a

comparison / If so, then prizes and what-

ever else inci e3 to emulous study should be

completely removed from the arena of

schoul work. We await with interest his

report on the inspection of graded schools.

Possibly he did not think that the question

could take so wide a range. On page 18 we are informed by the Superintendent—

not very modestly I must say—that he “*prepared and furnished each Inspector with an inspection book.” This means, of cour.e, tht he prepsred each inspector

aod after this very necessary but fruitless process, eich was provided with that now-

fsmous inspection book, which, by the way,

is all but an exact copy ef the book used

for the same purpose by the inspectors of Ontario. In the face of this fact, the statement, “ have prepared an inspaction book,” is not quite in accordance with the truth, and oniy shows to what lengths some people are prepared to go in order to gain a cheap popularity and credit for improve- ment. But the richest gem in this literary mine is the following, found on page 17, and which, like the good wine,

{ have reserved for the last; “* Mr. J. D. Sea-

mau gave an exhibition of dumb-bells and

wand exerciacs by bis pupils !” 1 am informed by one who was presert at the meeting char-

acterized by this remarkable exhibition, that the dumb-bells were all of the same kind and

not very beautiful either, What influence an exhibition of plain dumb-bells was intended to have on the minds of the assembled teachers, or what educative purpose it was designed to serve, will ever remain a mystery dark and deep. But notice the spiritualistic idea of the pupils’ mediumship. Mr. Seaman gave an exhibition of wand exercises by his upils — his spirit working through them. If the Superintend- ent be able to inoculate each of his subordin- ates with this very unorthodox doctrine, what, let me ask, shall be the end? The samples given in my former letter and in this one will give some idea of what the Super- intendent of Education can do by way of expressing thoughts in English. But a correct estimate of the report io all its ridiculous deformity can be formed only by a full and careful reading. The observations which it does contain are not so numerous but they might be expressed in words clear and unmistakable There are other faults than those which I have pointed, such as pro

vincialisms and the tiresome repetition of words. An instance of the former ie the use of ** The Island” for The Province, as seen on page 1, and examples of the latter may be seen on every page. Those who stand at the head of affairs in any country are looked upon both at home and abroad az representative of the intelligence, morality and general standing of the community, and in their tu:m have a reflex influence on the people they represent. The outlook for a people is not bright when their departmental heads are not only not in advance of the general public but considerably far behind. In no department of the public service is this so true asin that of education. Ihe superintendent of this im- portant branch should be able to lead educa- ional thought, and set an example for proper methods and correctness of detail in every division of school work. He should at least be able to write the language of the country correctly. What hope is there when the head of the teaching profession lays himself open—through lack of education—to the ridicu'e of the humbleet grade beneath him ? Chere is only this hope, that the teachers of the Province will completely ignore him and fiud their sufficiency in themselves. or draw from other sources the inspiration which they need. And this is what comes of appointing men to responsible positions as a reward tor their own or their friends political services and without any regard whatever to fitness or experience. The Hon. Donald has not been fortunate in his educational appoint- ments—as witnees the failure of the Kent Street School—and his last, I regret to say, is no exception to the ru'e. And the whole Province must suffer, and lie under a re- proach in order that revenge and petty jealousy may have their satisfaction.
