OUR ADVANCED EDUCATION
in his statesinanlike speech at George'-OWU Pfemlel
Mirtlriesoir referred to “the considered statement of i leading cducatioiralist in Canada" that in the uppllcatioi of the agricultural gmnt to education, “we are 20 yeari ahead ot' thc great provlirce of Ontarlo."
Tire plan referred to, our readers may recall, is as fol
lows:~lnstead of following the stereotyped plan of havin; separate sets of school inspectors, one for educational work and another for agricultural work, each trying to pu'
on his particular branch and corrscqueutly fail
ing to cooperate, we have several lrrspectors all quaiiflec in both branches, so that they can go forward full; equipped to coorrlinate agriculture with the common worl of the schools, and practically to douhlc their efficiency a: coiiipareil with the former system of having two sets 0 inspectors. Tire success of this system is largely due ti the fact that we have at the head of the Department o .\i;rlculture, in Mr Murdoch McKinnon, a Commissioner wire. himself a trained and practical teacher, had thi necessary experience that enabled lrlni to initiate ani circoiiragc the joining together of these two branches llaving a sympathetic and practical head of botir thi Deparlriierrt of Agriculture and Board of Education, thi officials of these departments found it ii conrparatively casy matter to introduce thc dual system. The result o this innovation has been to prit new life into our schools and tho prospects are that, within tlrc next few years l'riiice liilward island w‘ll be ,looked upon us the show place of Canaila so far as practical education suited to ar- rigricultural coinnrunity is concerned.
OUT OF ITS OWN MOUTH
in its ycsterilay‘s issue the Patriot gives second placi
to provincial politics, devoting its leading article to the pleasant and easy task of reprirrtiirg a p0l'_ti0u Ot th' rcport of the Public Accoiiirts investigation. Vi/hat tha' has got to do with its readers while a provincial electioi canrpaigir is on foot we leave its readers to discover Our coiitcnrporary follows up the interesting t?)'of‘liclal extract with a. christened approval of the date of tht election, invites us to be charitable in our language to waiwla the Rabble cairdidatcs, aiiil-concludes by politel_\ iilrirrging the Preiriier with “ilowirrlglit falsehood "! I: is quite evident the readers of the Patriot “don`t know rvlicro they are.” with our coiitciirporary these strenuous tinii-s. t‘i-rtainly they have got loft, and badly left, after lraving been lcd on thc ice these many niooirs.
Our corrti-iripoi°ai'y takes exceptlorr to the Prenrier'i»
assertion that Sir Wilfrid Laurier driiiiiiricd up the Senatori agiriirst tho $100000 subsidy which Sir Robert Borden pas-scil through the House of (lomnrons. What are thi facts? Sir Wilt'i‘ld took no part in the debate on thi subsidy except to say that he thought they “ had put an end to this question” in 1007. He then said he would not insist further upon his views that day-and took nc active part lu the subsoquerrt debates, lclving it to his lleiiteirairts, Mr E. M. Macdorialil and Mr Pugsley. to fight thc lllll for all it was worth. But when the Bill rcaolrer’ the Senate what irappeneil? Tire Liberal Leader therr nriiilc n party question of it, attacked thc measure ir virulent language and abused the island and Islanders ii;
terms wlricli we shall reproduce if the Patriot so desires it Tire attack was so deadly and the Liberal Senators present in such nunrbers. that ii supporter of the Government went to Senator Prowse and told lrlni that if he desired to saw the lilll ho hail better get busy and try ariil talk ove sorrre ol' his friends. To his eternal credit this Senator Prowse did, and the Bill for the subsidy was saved b_\ only four votes. Every (‘onscrvative voted for the Bill lint tlri~ only l.ihci'uls were the island Seirato,rs and tlrosf wliorir Sciiiitirr i’rowso brought his personal influence ti. licar ripoir. lions tho i‘atrlnt deny this?
Our' r‘irirti~iriporar'y follows up this unjustiliablc attach
on this l‘ronilci' with another, in which it says it trorrectm thi- Premier on rr previous occasion for nraklng a " falsi Sl=\i<‘li10f1t." lt si-.crrrri to he ifni-lout history, brit the charge the l’rcnrier made against the Patriot nrrrst have rauklcd in the editorial inliril_ Says our corrtcnrporary: “Ii hir: first session ns l’ronrler in his speech on the Address Mr Mathieson falsely stated that the Patriot had said that l’_I~]. Island had received lu Domlnlorr expenditure more
than it was entfitled to."
Now it is a_long time, as newspapers judge time, to go
back tlirce years in order to refute ir statement, and for the life of us wo cannot see what object our contenrporary
has for so iloiiig.
llut the best of it is, in casually looking into the nrattci
we find the l’rcnrlor was lltcrally accurate in his statement and, of course, our indignant contemporary irbsolutolt wrong lrr its recollection and consequently in its cliargi
against the Premier.
lf our contemporary will refresh its memory hy rg
[crrlng t_o its own files it will find this bold, bald statement in its ii-isue of September 11. 1909: ". _ . We get $1,516,135,i;;_ paid out of the Doinlnlou consolidated revenue fund to ui or on our ncconut, or $238,778.12 more In proporfim 1, population than was paid the rest of Canada," or. in other W0rfls. more than we are “entitled to." How can our contemporary reconcile this with its present denial and attack upon the Premier? ,
our siiiiirr 'riusiis
lt has been observed for some weeks pest that many
ol' the trees lining and benntlfying our streets are showing symptoms of disease or the work of insect pests. Thi leaves -are tirriilrriz brown and witiréi-eii looking with ii decidedly autumn appearairce. There should be an ex nmiiiation of these trees by experts with ii view to “peer taining t_he cause of this early decay. It is known that for li number Of YPHTN Dust our evergreen trees. particularly the sprrrces and jrrnlpers, have been bsdiy infested with

'flue-‘features that are iiot_oi`rly e. delight to clisens, but ire _neatly admired by vlllwrv- Any .disease or- pm me 'threatens them, therefore, should be guarded against. We .rust our street committee which has always interested tself in the upkeep of our streets will see to this and, if oosslble, avert what would be nothing short of a calamity, the death of our shade trees.
WELL SATISFIED ORITS
This announcement of the date of the Provincial election
neat; with general approval. The uppermost feeling rmong all classes seems to be that it would have been ietter to have avoided the turmoil of an election at the rresent critical juncture in the Empire’s history, but as jliis seems lmpractleable, the general desire is toheve it f »ver.as speedily as possible, in order that tho undivided -.ttentlon of the Government and the people should bo levoetd to wer measures and domestic affairs.
The best informed an dnrost reliable supporters of the
ate Grit Government are opposed to any strenuous opposi- ion to the Government. They recognise and appreciate 'he blessings and benefits they have enjoyed under the _iresent regime. and think it' would be better to let well 'rlone for another four years. if there had been any _irganisation on the part of the remnant Grits of the rrovince it seems certain their recommendation would rave been to allow the Govemment candidates to bo 'eturned iriropposed. In the disorganised state of the rarty, however, several self-seekers here found-their op- iortunlty of tlrrustlngithomselves upon the electorate of he various coirsiituencles_ One or two of these are lreudy defending their action by putting the onus on the istrlcts and stating that they responded only to tile Lrgent ri-quests of the local wire-pullers. This may or nay not be the case. What is an undoubted fact is that he Grits have not the slightest expectation of making ny impression upon the electorate. They are without is eader. without a policy and 'without a`party. Every Grit andldale is a law unto himself. free and untrammelled `r_om party discipline. each merely seeking the advance- nent of his own particular interests. It is conceded that he expense of a contested election under such clrcunr- '-tancos is ri wilful waste of time and money, both of which 'ould have been devoted to useful purposes in connectlori vith the social ailvaircement of the province and the
:uccessful prosecution of the war.

And finds weather help in

Deering New. Ideal Binder
The Deering new ideal binder is_built with special fea_tur rs to
adapt it to Island_ farm conditions, being exceptionally light in draft, and very strong in construction. _
The main frame is made_of high carbon steel, thoroughly brac-
ed; hot rivited together, which makes it practically a steel unit, strains cannot twist_ it out of shape, hence the cutting, elevating and binding mechanism are alwalys held in proper positions.
Muchof the light draft of t e new ideal binder is due to the
ball and roller bearings, at all points to reduce friction. _ In the construction of _the Deering new ideal_brrrder, the follow- ing new features are_ combined, third packer, third discharge arm, seventh roller floating elevator, platform and_ elevator canvas tightening and loosening de_vrce. This is of particular value in the morning and at night, as it saves .the trouble of unbuckling the canvas straps._ _ _ . _
The Deering knotter is thoroughly reliable. It was designed
and made_ right at the start; therefore _has not been changed, really good serviceable knotter-one that will do the same satisfactory work every day of harvest. - V -
