The budget speeches of Liberal mem- bers, during the last parliament. were of such is conflicting character, that it would require one expert in the solu- tion of Chinese puzzles to definitely pronounce on the policy most likely to please a majorlty of the party. Just for thesfke of illustrating how divided Messrs. Tarte and Sifton, the respec- tive cabinet champions of Protection and Free Trade, have been receiving so much attention of late, that the rank and file of the Liberal party have been almost ignored as factors in the tariff fight. The “ back benchers,”‘ however, will have to be reckoned with when the Liberals are brought to the stern necessity of placing them- selves definitely on record in regard to the tariff.

The most intellectual por- tion of the program, however, without speaking lightly of any of it, was the address by Inspector Campbell on “The Influence of Thought on Charac- ter,” even an outline of which We have neither time nor space for.

The program was an exceptionally fine one. The singing by Mrs. Sheppard and her three sisters, the Misses Joy, was a concert in itself, and deserves the highest praise. Miss Christoe filled ‘ her place ably as accompanist, and in a piano duet with Mrs. Blackburn the audience was more than delighted. ; Miss Tessie McCallum was engaged for the occasion, and gave some very nice selections, her best number in our opinion being the story of “Connor." amusing if nothing more. Miss Mc- Callum shows ability as an elocutionist but her selections on this occasion were in the lighter vein. A few nice choruses by a class of school girls show careful training on the part of their MUST ABANDON THE FENCE The following officers were elected: J. Coleridge, President: Miss Gordon, Vice-President; Mr. T. Allan. Secre- tary; and Messrs. Dixon, Fawcett, Baker, and Misses McKenzie and Mc- Cannel, Committee of Management. The next meeting will be held in Durham early in September, 1903. The thanks of the Association were Mr. W. H. Baker, of Durham school, gave an interesting instructive and somewhat witty address on the subject of Geography under the following heads (1) When and how to teach. (2) What to teach. The Whole address was evidently original, and showed the speaker to have a good grasp of the subject. Mr. T. Murray, B. A., Principal of Owen Sound Collegiate Institute, gave an elaborate address on the “Imagi- nation in Mathematics.” The subject was intensely interesting inasmuch as it could hardly fail to inspire mathe- matical minds with a greater love for higher mathematics. Mr. Murray is evidently master of the subject, but it was quite clear he was Working 1n too high a plane to be of practical value 1n public school work, nevertheless it was amasterful effort and will be pro- ductiveof good resnlts. I Mr. Cornwell. B. A., Principal of ' Meaford High School, gave an excel- ' lent talk on “Ineffectiveness in Teach- , ing.” By way of introduction he explained the meaning of teaching, 3 and then pointed out that much ineflectiveness in teaching resulted from wrong ideals which led to the1 evils of telling too much, and requiring ‘ the pupil to do too little for himself. The stufling process was condemned as ineflective while the personality of the teacher was spoken of as a potent factor in shaping the character of the pupils. A slow, easy-going teacher will likely have slow, easy-going pupils and vice versa, a quick, active instructor is likely to produce a class of pupils that will be quick and active in the performance of their work. Mr. Cornwell would impress upon the teachers the importance of insisting that everything he done well. He re- 1 garded it as paramount in importance 1 to have all blackboard exercises done J well and all sentences given in good English. Allan, brought the first day’s meeting to a close between five and six o’clock.

It just requires a glance at this somewhat alarming divergence of opinion to convince ourself, that Sir Wilfrid Laurier has a heavy task be- fore him, when it comes to getting his party unto line. It will be noticed, that in almost every instance each in- dividual was engaged during his bud- get speech in talking to his own constituents. \Vhen it came home to} I him that his own little county wanted protection on certain articles, the erst- while Free Trader ignored his princi- ples and fell into line with the National Policy idea of things. These chaotic conditions must now cease. Liberals must declare for a fixed policy and range themselves by the side of Mr. Sifton or Mr. Tarte. It will be inter- esting to watch the manoeuvres of the rank and file, who will be afforded an opportunity of convincing the public of their sincerity. After six years on the fence. the jumping, whichever way it goes, will be painful to the jumper. Mr. O. Turgeon is another strong Free Trader, but like others his vote is always at the call of his party. Mr. \V. S. Maclaren, although elect- ed by Free Trade professions, is ready to vote for the Liberal party and Protection. Mr. R. Holmes is a Free Trader with an ever ready Protectionist vote. Dr. A. s. Kendallâ€"is aâ€"great Free Trade advocate, who is able to tolerate bounties on iron and steel, both of which are manufactured in his constit- uency. Mr. Bourassa believes in a measure of Protection for the defence of our industries. Mr. D. Fraser, who desires aposition on the bench, has made Free Trade speeches all over Canada. However, he has swallowed more policies than any other man in parliament, and can be counted upon to vote for the gentle- man who offers a judgeship. Mr. W. 0. Edwards is the strongest Free Trader in Parliament, but has always voted with the government for Protection. Mr. John Charlton wants anything he fancies. e Mr. Aulay Morrison, who stated he had never been a Protectionist, wanted lead, lumber, coal and other products of British Columbia. protected to the hilt. Mr. C. B. Heyd, who represents a manufacturing centre, is a strong Protectionist, and wants the duties on manufactured goods raised. horses excluded from competition with the home-bred article.

DEAR Borrowâ€"In THE CHRONICLE of September 25th, I noticed the name of my old friend, Pete Paterson, men- tioned for the first time since I landed in B. 0., two years ago. According to THE CHRONICLE, he objects strongly to receiving his religion in large doses. Pete always was a temperate man3 anyway, and I am glad to see he is waking up and asserting his rights as a free-born citizen. Since he dislikes taking his religion wholesale, 1 would like to suggest to the editor that he gives it to him in instalments or any other way that might besc please his delicate and fastidious taste, and thus secure the subscription of the corner grocery for the ensuring year. :By way of corroboration, I may say that a few weeks ago, I was requested by aprivate banker in another county to recommend to him a young man, from 15 to 20, fairly educated, but ac- curate and careful in figures, and above all, one whose honest and moral habits could be relied on. For the right kind of “boy,” this gentlemanl offered a good salary and a permanent position. I confess, Mr. Editor, that, like you, I was in a dilemma. I found it difficult to select one to “fill the bill.” One, as a student, was inatten- tive and neglected his work, another was a cigarette fiend, a third loitered aimlessly too often on the public street, still another was uncourteous and uncivil, while many had not shown that they could do anything well. None of these would do. Yes, boys are watched, young men are watched, watched everywhere by men having positions to fillâ€"watched not with the CUNTHACTUHS’ NOTICE. l DEAR Mn. EDmomâ€"In your issue of last week I saw a sensible editorial under the above heading. It is hoped that every boy in town will not only read it but think seriously of the prob. lem involved in it. How many of our young men have the qualifications re-: quired to fill such a position? How * long could they keep any responsible position where faithful service was required? Doubtless, all of them think they could, but the history of many is FAILURE. The other day a Toronto business man, speaking of the unfitness of a large majority of our young people to retain positions to which they were appointed, specified two main causes,â€"first, want of schol- arship, and secondly, want of moral fibre. Even in Durham, too, many of our young people leave school before they can write a straight, one-meaning English sentence or add 3 and 4 so as unfailingly to get 7. These two little , things comprehend the larger part of a good business education. That many of our young men in particular, are wanting in moral fibre, are lacking in that rugged manhood that can say “No” to seductive temptations re- quires no proof. The evidence is pain- ' fully forced upon thinking men at every turn.
