vention.
Mr. President, fellow -teachers and
friends; I can't say that I am here by
my own choice nor yet by voluntary
consent, but I can truly say that I don't
altogether enjoy the position and when
our worthy secretary named the subject
that I was expected to take at this Insti-
tute meeting I had similar feelings to
those of another young lady when her
lover addressed her in beseeobing tones,
"wilt thou ?"-she wilted 1 Because I
too wilted then. I stand before you to-
day attempting to convey to you a few
of the thoughts that I have bearing on
the subject. I have found it rather a
hard aubjeot to handle, and one that
brings up a whole train of ideas leading
on and on until we are completely
swamped and finally feel ourselves
wondering what the subject under dis-
amnion really is. I hope you will bear
with me in any apparent digressions for
the subject opens up avenue after avenue
of opportunity. I hope the few points
suggested will call forth a lively discus-
Sion, criticism and addition of new
points so that we may all be stirred
up to a faller realization of what it
means to be a snocessfal teacher.
In the first plane the subject to me im-
plies that there are means by which the
teacher can approve his status and also
that there are means by which he should
improve his status. Then we see also
that this improvement must manifest
itself in at least three ways, resulting in
elevation of s ending, lst, in the eyes of
society, 1. e, the general public and our
fellow teachers; 2ad, in the school itself
in relation to the pupils and school -
board; $rd, in the teacher himself en-
abling him to view himself from a truer
light in relation to himself and the
whole professional body.
Now teachers may be divided into
eeveral classes. There are the lady
teachers who may or may not remain
long in the ranks according to oircum-
stances. Then in the general class of
teachers there are those who are teaoh-
ing but do intend remaining in the pro-
fession but use it simply as a stepping-
stone to something better financially.
7 would strongly say, "Let them look
out for themselves." There remain
then those who intend to and are making
it a life profession.
The ehoaid part of it seems to be self-
evident. "To go no farther upward,

PREMIER BIM PROTESTS.
gays Newfoundland Is Sacrificed tot
American Interests.
Sir Robert Bond, Premier of New-
foundland, contrary to expectations
succeeded in getting the Newfound-
land fishery question before the Cole
oneal Conference.
Sir Robert moved a resolution to the
effect that if the Home Government
failed to support the colonies in car-
rying out local statutes, but suspend-
ed or .abrogated them at the instance
of a foreign power, this act would
constitute a scrim= infringement of
autonoipoue rights.
He argued that the assent of the ':
crown should be given to the act of
1905; that the colony should not be
fettered by any modus vivendi in car-
rying out laws approved by it, and
that the home Government should
proceed to define the rights of Am-
erican citizens under the treaty of
1818. which, he declared. Newfound-
land did not want to limit in any way„
slie merely sought justice.
The resolution was placed onthere-
cards of the conference.
The Mail says that Premier Bonin
pleaded earnestly with Lord Elgin for
nearly two hours, saying, "Unless:
'something is done. we shall starve."
Elgin, however, refused the "pathetic:
appeal of Newfoundland." The Mall
continues that Bond instantly jump-
ed to his feet, saying, "It as gross:
humiliation and neglect, which yen
would not dare to offer to a colony
powerful enough to give effect to its
resentment.
"It is most unjust, and I repeat
again that you are deliberately neg-
lecting us for the sake of American
interests."
Gathering up his papers, the New-
foundland Premier left the room with-
out uttering- another word, A few
minutes later the other Premiers
emerged, excitedly discussing the in-
cident. The general feeling was that
Bond has been badly treated,

SiR WILFRiD'S APPEARANCE.
The Colonial Premiers and Their
Clothes Critically Discussed.
Of Canada's Premier the Tailor and
Cutter says: Sir Wilfrid Laurier seems
to have inherited the good taste of bis
French ancestors, and is always a
polished and well-dressed gentleman
whole we have invariably associated
with a well -cut fronit coat. a neat vest
and trousers cut wth great precision.
It would be hard to pass adverse
criticism on any feature of hie sar-
torial appearance. Even his silk '
scarves display judgment in selection
and are always in harmony with the
color of his clothes. Perhaps it 1s his
own desire, or it may be the style of
his particular tailor, to arrange a
short break on the forepart of his
I coat, and to button the lapels rather
I higher than fashion at present die -
1 tales; but even with this variation
• from the accepted style, he may be
said to be one of the best -dressed
gentlemen attending the Conference.
This annlies to his Canadian as well
as his British outfit.

Engineers' Certificates.
The Legislature of Ontario at its re-
cent session passed an act respecting
stationary engineers in which en-
gineers and employers are alike in-
terested. Briefly stated, its provisions
are that, after the first day of July,
1908, no engineer will be allowed to
operate or have charge of a stationary
steam plant of 50 horse power or up-
wards who does not hold a Govern-
ment certificate. There are three
classes of engineers to whom eertifi-
catee will be granted without the
applicant having to undergo an ex-
amination, first, those who on the
20th of April, 1907, (the date on which
the Act was passed) held certificates
from an association of stationary en-
gineers in Ontario, or a marine or lo-
comotive engineer's certificate; sec-
ond, engineers who on the above date
were in charge of a plant of 25 horse-
power or over in Ontario; third, en-
gineers who had at any time previous
to the passing of this act, not less
than two years' experience in the Pro-
vinee. Those who cannot qualify as
above will have to pass the examina-
tions which will hereafter be prescrib-
ed by the Board of Examiners.
Those interested may obtain a copy
of the act and application forms for
certificates by addressing the Secre-
tary Department of Agriculture, To-

Intellectual Preference.
Are these new postal regulations
purely postal, or is there any design
of "intellectual preference," in other
words, of cutting Canada mentally
off from her own continent and an-
nexing her to Great Eritain? That
she should have a. special literature
of her own, however desirable, is inn• ,
possible. The field is not large enf.
ough. Practically it is Ontario, fat
nothingets through Qoebee to the
Mar time Provinces, nor is much like-
ly for acme time to get to the Nortlt-
west. But Ontario ie not it field ample
enough to sustain a literature. It
can hardly be said to have a 'notary
public. Nor doee England took to it
or know anything about Canadian
writere, unless they migrate to the
Old Country, as the most eminent do.
A writer in Canada receives Iittle no-
tice even from his own press.
