Spri ment, a third follows. One feature of the Bill as printed to which con- siderable objection has been made on the score of cost is the clause that provides for the payment The reason for mak- ing this provision was that in many townships councillors are paid an allowance. It has been pointed out that school trustees, both rural and urban, have always given their services free as a part of their contribution as citizens of the com- 'munity, and that most of them would prefer to continue this. practice. There seems to be a gen- eral disinclination to place the schools under the The clause 'providing for the payment of trustees should be struck out, or it should be made optional on the part of the township to prBvide for such payment. . of allowances to trustees. direction of salaried administrators. Change in Popular Attitude. due to a misconception of its posals. the first reaction*to a plan to change a system that has been in operation for a long time should be one of decided opposition. vantages of the new scheme of school administra- tion are fully considered.I believe it will be gen- erally agreed that it is a move in the right direc- tion and will be in the best interests of the child- ren of the schools.

Continued from Front Page When you arrive at Moncton you notice the water has been ten to thirteen or more feet higher than it was at that part of the day and you realize you are beside the Atlantic Ocean, and in the vicinity of the Bay of Fundy, where the tides are much higher than on the Pacific 'coast. Here I learned that Prince Edward Island, one of destinations was known all over this country as "The Island" and it is told of an Islander who had gone west and was asked where he was from, answered, "from The Island." His questioner asked, "What Island?" He answered, "H---, what other Island is there." We left the main line of the C.N.R. at Sackville, taking a branch line to Tormentine, where we took a ferry across the straits of Northumberland, seven miles to Prince Edward Island. At Tormentine, their are extensive lobster fisheries and canneries. e mainland side of the straits was full of heavy ice but the ferry, a large one carrying many freight cars below and pas- sengers above, broke up easily. One peculiarity of Prince Edward Island is its red soil; it looks just like ground red brick and is not a stiff clay like red land is some places in Ontario. The houses are nearly all built of wood where I have been and the outside walls shingled. In some villages, houses, barns, schools, churches etc., are all shingled on the sides and when inicely painted look very good. The Island is from three to thirty-four miles wide and over one hundred miles long. It exported this year over three million dollars worth of foxes and pelts--one single shipment of five foxes gold for two hundred thousand dollars, the largest live stock single shipment ever known. Though more foxes have been pelted than ever before, the demand has widened and they are in much better demand than a year ago. Many. islanders have become wealthy in this in- dustry, but it is not the only large business; they have about as many dollars worth of potatoes sold, Many growing as much ras one hundred acres. y In the little village of Freetown, where I am writing this while waiting for a train, many small farmers have sold fifteen. to thirty thousand gone to Boston and New York on a holiday. The railways here are many of them still Narrow guage; have stations from one to three miles apart and trains stop at every one. No fast trains as distances are short. On account of the frequent stops the trains are slow and. not frequent so that it takes twenty four hours to get in or out of many places. There is usually, more snow here than with us and it blows up more, nearly all the road and farm teaming is done with one horse hitched to a long runner sleigh with heavy shafts like a cart. They dd not use tugs just a short chain from the hame to a hook on the shaft which is strong enough to pill the loads. It looks funny to me but I am told the track gets so high that horses crowd so they use one for bush work as well as nearly everything else.
