Cardinal Gibbons on Education. i In the last number of the North Am- erican Review Cardinal Gibbons hhs an article on education, in the course of which he attaches great importance to the recognition by the teacher of the individuality of the pupil, and says that “ if the teacher tries to adopt the level- ling process by casting all in the same mould, his pupils will become forced and unnatural in their movements; they will lose heart. their spirinwill be bro- ken, their uianhood crippled and im- paired." It is not the fault of the teachers, but of' the national school system, that the individuality of the pupil is not recognizedâ€"that he is merely one of a number, all of whom ‘ are urged along the same paths of learn- ing, without the least regard to their natural tastes or abilities or the pursuits by which they will probably have to make a living; an evil so great that many parents who can afford to do so send their children to private schools, where a choice of studies is permitted. The “system ” takes a roomful of raw boys, as unlike each other mentally as they are physically, and tries to turn them into the same kind of finished product ; which (as we remarked years ago) is as absurd as it would be to take an equal number of colts of all sorts of pedigrees and try to make trotters of them all. We are glad to know that Cardinal Gibbons has written so strong- ly on the subject, as the opinion of a man of his eminence is likely to have effect, but he only says what has been said over and over again in the columns of the Gazette, which has repeatedly urged the revision and‘ amendment of the school system of the Province. The ’education given in our public schools is “Very expensive. as witness the amount demanded every year by the board of trustees, but is not worth anything like what it costs, because the individuality of the pupil is not recognized, and each one has to pursue every study in the programme to the bitter end. “ It's very pretty,” said an old lady to whom her grand daughter was exhibiting; a drawing she had produced in compliance with school regulations; “it's very pretty. but is it a cow or a rose-bush ?"â€"and that's about the degree of‘ proficiency attained by many pupils after years of instruction in an art for which they have no natural gift. The evils of the school system are the result of a belief that education instead of. nature is the chief factor in a boy’s success in life. which is an utter mistake, for youcan’t “make a silk purse out of a sow’s car," no matter how hard you try. The softness}... The chief organ of the defunct Gey- crnmcnt has written itself down an ass by its tactics previous to and during the late contest and by its pnerile verbal World, another Conservative journal, takes it to task :-â€"- ~ “The Mail and. Empire’s puerile tactics contributed largely to the defeat of the party. After defeat it pursues a similar idiotic Course. All its energy 1 is now spent in proving that the French- (lanndinns are a despicable set of people The electorate of this country are not as dense or as stupid as the Mail and lEmpirc assumes them to be. If (hes same French Canadians had voted the Topper ticket, the Mail and Empire would have had no bad word to say of 1 them. The Mail and Empire is alto- gcther- too clever.~ I‘ts tirades against the French do no daiuzlge whatever to ,that race; \hey merely recoil and hit 1 the author of them squarely in the face. The rotten eggs. that the blunder-ing Mail and Empireis throwing at the French will all eome back and besmirch that organ itself. The Mail and Em- pire is rank. It emits an odor that : permeates the whole country. instead of vilifying those whose support it for merly crawled on its knees to obtain, the Mail and Empire would be further ing the interests of the conservative party much better if it took a hand in the movement to get rid of the bad ele- moms in lhapurty, and place it on a more respectable footing.” Fatal Accident; 3 About 7.30 on Wednesday evening .‘lr. Garrett Barry's eldest son, Fred- erick Austin. not quim 13 years ofnge, was accidentally killed in llowry & Sons' lumber ynrl. John Golden, brakeman, had gone to the for end of the yard for some empty the mill with a train of six or seven. :wben the boy appeared from amongst The engine, in I charge of )1. l’crrin, engineer, and I Mr. Martin. That the following accounts 5 says :â€"-“ Mr. David Walker, cx-rcevc l r i and Mr. Quinn’s projecting lel't.ieg was safe, and the little fellow then got it into one of the doorways ofthe engine (which are at the rear corners) and, catching hold of two iron rods, leaned backwards and outwards. with his head turned a little to one side. The train started, and bad just reached its usual speed when, in rounding a slight curve, a narrow piece of board projecting from a pile of lumber at the side of the track struck him on his upper lip, and. losing his hold of the rods, he fell directly across the rail between the engine and the first of the lorries. M r. Golden, who was riding on the rear end of the train and saw what had happened, gave a loud shout and the engineer instantly reversed the engine, but could not stop the train until it had run about its own length. As there are no bottom boards on the lorries, Mr. Golden could see the wheels, and he says that when the front wheel of the last but one had passed over the unfortunate boy he mllcd from the rail into the middle of the track. He picked him up and took him on to the engine, which was detached from the lorries and run to a point about thirty rods from Mr. Barry's house on Greene street, and while Mr. Golden was carrying the poor little fellow the remainder of the distance he died in his arms. Dr. Wilson was sent for and was quickly inattendancc, but of course could do no good. It is need- less to say that- the family have the sympathy of the-whole village in their sudden bereavement. m. ._ _._ _.__ Accident. A little before midnight on Monday last William Quinn, eldest son of Mr. John Quinn, of this village, met with a painful accident, and come near losing a part, at least, of one of his legs, while uncoupling a, lorry from. the traction engine in Hotvry &-Sou's yard. As the were standing on a slightly descending track, Mr. Quinn placed a block of wood under one of the front wheels of the lorry to prevent it from moving forward when the engine left it, but unfortu- nately useda block of hardwoodinslend of cedar or pine. ,Stooping down and crawlingin between the engine and lorry he foundthnt hehadnot sufficient room, and asked the engineer to move forward afew inches, which could easily be done, as there was plenty of slack to .the chain by which the engine drew the train. His request was complied with, but the instant the weight of the lorry came upon the block of wood it slipped aside caught between the wheel of the lorry and the rail. At the shout he gave the engineer, suspecting what had happened, instantly reversed the engine until it met the lorry, thus preventing a far worse accident. The injured youth, who is about 19 years old, was placed on a waggon and taken to Dr. Wilson’s office, by which time he was in. such great pain that- the doctor gave .him chloroform before examining the leg, the front of which was terribly bruised between the knee and ankle, but neither of the bones was broken._ School Board Proceedings.
