THURSDAY APRIL 2i.ith, 1804,
Needs of the Publio Scheele.
Vtre. are trying ta make our eduration-
ae pyramid stand on its apex, The
truth is that the boat talent, the widest
knowledge, the utmost skill, are needed
in tile primary school. The prime
object of the wheel is to awaken the
mind of the child. AfanY Puliii4 go
through the primaries, through the
secondary schools,and.possibly through
college, without having their miads
awakened, without haVing hei nthus-
• iasm. aroused to the earns eager interest
in the school studiea that they manifest
in football, for instanae. Once the
• mind is awakened and guided to explore
the knowledge of the world, the most
difficult task of the educator is accom-
plished. The pupil is inspired with a
desire to I, now, and instructed how to
find out things for himself. This inspir-
ration tied this guidance 09,11 only come
• from teachers who have kaowledge and
the skill of imparting it in a marked
degree. The unamskenediraind requires
more external power to arouse it than
to keep ir going in wellemarked
grooves. This is understood in asylums
for the deaf-mutes and •for idiots. In
these the very ablest teachers take the
beginners in intelhgenee. We shall
• begin to handle this problem of edema, -
ion intelligently only when we recognize
the truth that for teacherof the prim-
ary scho es, down to the infant classes.
we most have men and women of the
the first quelifirations, of broad know-
ledge and liberal culture and character,
and that wa uaust pay them as high a
• price for their services a.s we pay
teachers in the seconclaay schools, ab

IsTo portion of history even the limited
history of a Proyince or county, can he
well taught by a person who has not a
comprehensive view of it as a unit. No
study is more fruitless than that of his-
tory in a routine text -book of names end
dates, unless it be the study of literature
in the same way. The teacher of his-
tory must know histary, and the teacher
of literature must know literature. It
is of course impossible in eight years to
• impart any detailed knowledge of his-
tory; but the adore teacher can. in that
time give a knowledge of its sweep and.
unity, of the relative significance and
importance of certain periods, and poa-
sibly detailed knowledge of some port-
ions of it, say the history ofthe pupil's
own country. This is also true -of the
nature fff civil geyerament, and espec-
ially of the government under which
the scholar lives. Nothing perhaps is
more needed now in this country than a
knowledge of its fotindamental character
and lams, and it is one of the weaknesses
of our educational system that it fails
to give this.to those who pass through
our primary schools. in a few •highly
developed echools, both primary and
eeconclary, these subjects are taken up
with the most encouraging resulte; but
how is it iri the majority of the district
schools of the country? And -even if
these subjects were taken up, where are
the teachers to teach them? This is no
attack upon the body of teathers, most
of whom are ill paid even for the ser-
vices they render, and most of whom
also are working conscientiously accord-
ing to their rights. But it is for the
public to consider that the best teachers
are required in laying the foundations
of • educatious, and that ib is good
eoonomy to pay for the best.

Canada does more complaiuing about
herd times and has less reasQn to com-
plain than any country on earth.
Canadians even in these times of alleged
tribulations are enjoyiug all the bless -
legs of abundant prosperity, as a phrase
abundant prosperity, is understood in
older countries. Tile condition of
Canada now and the condition of Euro
pean countries in the Minna of their
greatest prosperity are in_ contrast, and
the contrast is entirely to the advantage
of Canada. The standard of living hero
itt the worst of times is higher than it
is among the European people in the
best of times. There are many happy
and. few hungry people in Canada even
now. All the blessings are not excuses
for misgovernment, and cannot serve as
the justification of any systeni that does
not leave the nation free to realize upon
its endowment. Canada's • condition
still falls far short of the Ideal. The
foolishness of man can temper the bless
ings of Providence. Canadians are not
to compare their happiness with the
seyerely qualified bliss of other countries
in order to reconeile themselves to what-
ever is, if whetuver is be not righb.
The true Canadian will strive to make
his nation better without forgetting that
his country, as it is, is the freest, the
happiest, thebest-off country that the
sun shines on.

Further:evidence of the strong feeling
that is growiag up against the festering
of the High atthe expense of the Public
schools was furnished by warm discuss-
ion in the Legislature last week. The
Province is not under obligation to give
its citizens a professional education and
a larger proportion of the public funds,
voted for educational purposes, should
go to the prinaary schools, Ib is time to
make a change. More attention should
be given, to tha foundation and the
superetructure left to look after itself
to a much greater extent than at pre-
sent. The public records are a sufficient
condemnation of the method now fol-
lowed. The aigb schools., which lum-
ber 128, receive from the Prevince a
sum equivalent to one third that allowed
Public schools, which number 5577.
This is manifestly unfair on the face of
it. But, the atrongesb condemnation of
the preeent system is found ia its re-
sults, These higher educational insti-
tutione are turning out pupils in swarms
eyery year who add to the crowd in
callings already oyercroarded. In 1892,
for example, the number who left them
to engage in agricultural pursuits was
only a trifle over 1,000, while upwards
of 3,000 went out to increase the jam in
the learned professions, mercantile life
and ranks of the teachers, and still
another 1,700 were sent to "obb.er oe-
cupations"-an indefinite terra which
may be a euphemism for loafer. We
have to -day one lawyer to every 1,200
people; one doctor to every 900; and
one teacher to every 200, and still we
spend large sums every year for the
eXpress purpose; as shown by the figures
above given, of addiug to a surplus that
already exists. The system is wholly
wrong and a change Cannot be made too
soon under which the public will receive
the bulk of the money now voted to
High schools and that will result in
more attention being given in the
former to the work of fitting children
who attend them for occupations in
which there is plenty of room for those
