LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

are Vendors ?

Of What Use Sizr,—My family having been Jaid up with the measles, [ was instructed to get a bottle of gin, wRich is said to be a very good remedy. Having failed to get it at a ace where I knew it had been sold previous to the Scott Act election, I asked Mr. Henderson, License Inspector for Queen's County, where I woyld be able to get some; and he told me I could get it at P P. Gillis’. Ashort time afterwards; ‘1 was subpoened as a witness against the same Mr. Gillis for selling in violation of the Canada Temperance Act; and Mr. Gillis may be convicted on my evidence.

Shortly after having received the sub- poena above referred to, | was ordered by a medical doctor in Charlottetown to get a bottle of Hennessey’s Three Star Brandy, and with such urder applied to Mr. Dodd, vendor, for the same, but was told that my order could not be supplied as they had none on hand. {f then tried to have the order filled at Mr. Rankin’s, the other vendor, and was met with the same reply : ** Have not got any on hand,”

Having faileé to get what I wanted from those appointed to supply the same, I was complaining to some of my temperance friends, strong supporters of the Scott Act, what should bedone in such | was referred by one of them to the Srd and 4th verses of the 12th chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, and told to do the best I could.

ididso. I borrowed from a friend who had some on hand, to be returned in the |

cases,

spring when I can order asupply from | Halifax. A similar prescription was given

to one of my neighbors by Dr. Henderson. Having failed to get the order filled, ‘he inquired of me where I got supplied, and I had to borrow another bottle for him.

if parties who keep the best grades of liquors are not allowed to sell, those who by law are permitted to sell should be com- | pelled to keep on hand that which medica] men are likely to order their patients to procure.

T. A. equal to those for the enforcement of other laws? or will he (if elected) provide such extravrdinary means as are evidently required to enforce this particular law, and to abate the evil of the liquor traffic?

1 am willing to take him at his word; and should he answer the last question in the aflirmative he shall have my vote.

Warp Four Evecror. Ward Four Again. Sir,— In addition to the eards published by the candidates in Ward Four, several correspondents have published letters on the subject, and perhaps enough has been said. If the electors are to judge of the fitness of the candidates to represent the Ward by their, cards, then I think it won't take an intellegent elector long to decide. Mr. ,McDougall's card and letters breathes the sentiments of a Chris- tian gentleman. On the other hand, Mr. McRae's correspondence is ful] of uncharit- ableness, couched in the language of a fish- wife. He seemsto think that all that is necessary is to abuse his opponent; but the electors in the Ward would far rather hear some explanation from him of his actions in the past. Jt is well known that unitil a very late date he was merely a tool in the hands of the liquor party, and that he only ¢hanged his vote when he found the temperance sentiment running strong against him. He has represented the Ward forsonie years, but it woukd-puzzle him or anyone else to point te any good he ever did there. It is true he claims the right te re-election on account of voting for the dis- missal of Marshal Flynn. On the merits of that vote Lam not going to give an opinion just now; but I do not think there is . suffi- cient merit in it to warrant his claim to re- present the Ward for another year. I do not see in what way the Ward or city

would be injured by returning Mr. McRae |

to his home and family, and returning his opponent as their representative to the Council.

Mr. McDougall has been known to the citizens for years asa young man of talent and integrity; and the only fault that his opponeuts can ond against him is that some years ago he wasengaged in business which he has given up for some time past.

Yours truly, Ch’town, Jan. 23, 1888. M.

Technical Education in Public Schools.

Sin,—Quite often the man of conserva- tive views is now-a-days regarded as an old fogy. New ideas and new methods have a bulk of self-assertion offensively aggres- sive, their novelty being supposed to more than counterbalance the claims of old and well-tried ones which may vainly appeal to results as a test of their utility. Industrial education is not unly ‘the popular fetish,” but many educationists, legislators and public lecturers, here as elsewhere, ig- noring the true meaning and import of ‘* education,” are ‘‘in the swim” with the disturbers of the status quo of our educa- tional system. Each and every of these reformers has a pet industry which he can prove, at least to his own entire. satisfac- tion, the State shoyld immediately set to work to cause to be taught in our public schools and colleges. Admit the claims of one and you must logically admit the claims of all, with the result that every teacher must become a master mechanic, agriculturist, artiste, modiste, in short, the master of every trade and industry and pro- fession by which exch one of the rising generation hopes and means to earn a live- lihood, and convert his pupils as a conse- quence inf inere apprentices! As bearing op this subject, I would respectfully ask yeuto publish the words of weight and wisdom of Mr. A. P. Marble. Superinten- dent of Public Schools, Worcester, Mass., end to which Iwould invite the special atteution of these ‘' reformers.”

Yours truly, Aupr ALTERAM PaRTEM. AN ADVERSE VIFW.

The public school system of this country has developed steadily for more than two anda half centuries. It has been modified and im- proved from time to time, and adapted to new conditions and different localities. Con-

to be the general opinion that 1888, which hasalready furnished such a list of astound- ing catastrophes will be remarkable everything but quietness.

sequently we have a highly intelligent citizen- ship, great business activity, and a high de- gree of inventive skill by which machinery is made to do the work of man and to cheapen every product which his need requires,

Now these very results of our education are so much admired that they are used as an argument egainst the system which produced them. Mental training has resulted in great industaial progress; and now we are exhorted to abandou that traiuing andr work directiy tor imdus‘rial progress.

years ago, and, it proved a dead failure. has been my fortune to be connected with three institutions of this kind, in the States

proposed,

In the second place there is a fallacy in the claim that manual training in school is neces- sary in order to produce intellectual honesty; that accuracy of thought and statement can not be secured without muscular work in the production of material things; that geometery,

without cutting out blocks, nor astronomy without going up in a baloon to see the stars; —for this is what the advocates of

its bald and concrete form. In the third place there is a materialistic tendency, in the present advocacy of manual training as an ad- junct of public school education, which is de- structive of that virile quality of thought and mental power which it is the province of education to beget. * Within a fortnight one of these advocates is reported to have said : ‘‘The important-thing to keep before a boy's mind in school is, ‘ How will all this help me in getting a living?’”—as if the American people need to be stimulated in money get- ting, and as if the high object of education is the almighty dollar!

;; Finally, when the public school system undertakes to do everything for a pupil; to train his mind to clear and vigorous thinking, to develop all his physical powers and teach him a trade by which he may earn a liveli- hoed; and to train his moral nature so that he may have a clear passport to heaven, then this system will fall to pieces of its own weight. For ours is not a paternal govern- ment whose design is to care for each indivi- dual, but a demvcracy in which each has not ouly to take care of himself but to help also in making regulations for all; and till the | family relation is overthrown in the cnward ‘* progress” of our age, something must be | left to parents; and it can best be left there in | spite of the protestations of those self-consti- | tuted philanthropists who so much desire to educate every child for his “ sphere in life.” !
