Tue Examiser has been accused of uy- ing to keep alive the Manitoba Scix ol Question. Than this further from the truth. Maintained that the question is one which

at. But it is useless and worse than use less to cry “peace, peace, when there i no peace.” It is evident that the minority in Manitoba are determined not to the settlement.

swallow A few evenings ago a monster meeting of Roman Catholics was held in Wionipeg and averies of resolu- tions was unanimously passed and wardea to the Governor-General, to Mr. Wilfred Laurier and his several! colleagues | and to Sir Charles Tupper, and the several late Cabinet. In these resolutions there is a strong protest against

the terms of the alleged “settlement” and it is affirmed that,

“ They are wholly insufficient to redrese eur wrongs, while they utterly fail to make good the pledges solemnly made to the electorate by the members of the Federal Cabinet and of Parliament.

“ We cordemn the Federal Ministers for trying to force on the Cathoiic minority a propora!l +o inadequate, and in the nego- tations for which the minority itself was nt consulted, and the slight offered to the most prominent and most trusted represen tative of the minority in this controversy ——the Archbishop of St. Boniface—who was designediy ignored in the negotia- tions. The policy of conciliation for reaching @ settlement we approve, bat it 18 @ farce to call it conciliation when ovly one party to the controversy is ap- proached in that spirit, while the other party, and that the one which has been wronged, is treated with undisguised con- tem pt.

Maceo’s Under

According to alate despatch from Wash- ington the reported assassination of Maceo has rekindled the Cuban question in the House, although it is hardly likely that the interest will be productive of any legis- lature action. Members are unanimons in denouncing the method by which it is claimed the Cuban leader was entrapped to his death, although many of them say that the information up to date is insefi- cient to justify any assumption by Congress that Maceo was assassinated. Several joint resolutions cailing for the independ- ence and the belligerency of the Cubans have been referred to the house committee oo foreign affairs.

Delegates Palma received over a score of telegrams from Jacksonville, Key West, Tamap, Dallas, Texas, Paris, France and Hayti, and different points in Mexico stating that meetings were being held for the discussion of the Cuban question and asking for intelligence regarding Maceo’s alleged death.

A joint res lution, recognizing the independance of Cuba, was introduced in the House of Representatives on Monday by Mr. Howard (rep, Ala.) It expresses the profound regret of the American people at the reported “brutal aseassina- tion cf the Cuban leader, Maceo.” It de- clares Spain is conlucting a brutal and guerilla-like warfare against a patriotic people struggling for independence, even as the founders of this republic. It re solves that the United States shal! recog- nize Cuba as a free and independant gov- ernment, and accord her people all such rights in the ports and within the juris- diction of the United States.

allow male teachers holding a third-class license to teach under that license only two yeare; then they should be required to obtain a higher license or drop out of the profession, A man that cannot rise above & third-class teacher shou'd give it up while he is young and go to some other calling. This change would lessen the cost of the third-class schoo’, for of neces- sity more female teachers would be enploy- ed who draw smaller salaries—and the starding of our teachera would be raised, and we would have better work dove fur lesa money.

Mr. Stewart’s proposed changes would leave the responsibility of keeping up good schools on districts separately, and to my mind, it would practically ruin many s-hools, as there is not public spirit enough in every district to keep up a good school; and asa consequence, we should have many inferior schools throughout the country which would be too great a price to pay for the benefit contemp'ated.

Mr. Shaw seems to think that the pre- sent large expenditure is necessary to have efficient schools and put the advantages of a good education within the reach of all.

Both ideas are wrong. Weare not in such straits that we should destroy any schools; neither are we so flush with cash that we should pay out thousands of dol- lars without commensurate returns for the expenditure.

A. W. REDDIN, Phun. B.

1895, gave the number of second-class teachers employed to be 261. Suppose only 61 are doing really second-class work, the country is thus paving about $8,000, without getting value for it. Then, there are 100 male teachers of tbe third class and 151 of the second class - 251 in all Reckoning that 100 of these would: go out and their places be filled by female teachers, by the second proposed change a saving of $5,000 would be effected. “ Thus a saving of $13,000 can be effected without ivjury to our echools.

Another saving cam be effected by re- ducing our Prince of Wales College toa Normal School with two good teachers, thereby ¢ffecting another saving of $2,000.

We want a Normal School for the educe tion of the first and second-class students only as @ necessary part of our educational machinery, and weneed not go beyond that. Our first-class or high schools could prepare studente for third class examinations ; in fact, they are doing it now.

These, Mr. Editor, are all the savings that can be safely made in the cost of education, and the shortage in our revenue must be made up eome other way. But $15,000 represents about half of our la:d tax, and if it can be saved annually, and our educational system actually improved, why not do so?

The change would materially affect many of our second-class teachers no doubt. But still the districte could easily help many of them. There is too much clap trap indulged in about the poor dis- tricts that cannot raise a little money to keep upaschool. In many cases the poorer districts have the best schools now and they could make up large cupple- ments if necessary. . If our public men

and our newspapers would encourage our districts to greater liberality and interest

in their schools instead of appealing to the penuriousness of the people for cheap

popularity, we would bave better paid teachers and better schools.

With your permission FE will follow the

discussion in another letter.
