then of ability and ccinsecrated talent,
to encourage them to enter upon a Min-
isterial or missionary career.

the sale of literature, totalled $907.87,
and there is a balance on hand of $50.01.
Eight important recommendations at

POETRY IN THE SCHOOLS'..
---
Principal 'Peterson Protests Aagainst
Neglect of Intellectual Education.
Charlottetown, P. E. L, June 7. -The
inauguration address of the Canadian
Club here was delivered yesterday by
Prineipal Peterson of McGill 'Univer-
sity on poetry in the schools. He said the
present-day tendencies are too much in
the direction of exercising the mechani-
cal element in education at the expense
of the intellectual. Manual training
should be retained so long as it is duly
co-ordinated with other disciplinary stu-
dies, and does not lead. to evasion of
hard, .continuous work: Language study
and poetry require more attention in
the schools. Due attention to the right
kind of poetry will tend to counteract
any material and utilitarian tendencies
that may wish to force themselves into
prominence in our present-day education.
Poetry is the teacher's, most potent aid
for instilling wholesome thoughts in the
minds of the pupils. ,

George of Servia, in a conspiracy against
Montenegro has been given at the trial,
which is now proceeding here, of thirty-
two prisoners charged with revolution-

against the Montenegro Government,
with the object of overthrowing, the ex-
isting regime.
This sworn testimony has aroused the
greatest excitement here, and the rup-

Montenegro and Servia is expected as a
result. The Servian Minister here ad-
mits thandn view of these alleged rev-
