I Friday, January 17, 1913 WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THE SCHOOLS? Criticism of our system of public education, provoked by the startling deficiencies of high school students, will he still further encouraged by the statement that' seven students were found in New York high schools who were so deficient in mathematics that they could not add one and one, or multiply one by one. ' Only the other day a test made at Spokane showed that a considerable number of the high school students had no knowledge whatever of our national anthem. What is the matter with our public schools? It is apparent that.something is wrong with our educational system, and it is encouraging to know that the leading .educators- have set themselves the task of finding out what and where the trouble is, with a view of applying the remedy,- if proper remedy can be found. That defects exist in our educational system has been apparent for some time; but even the closest students had not discerned the glaring deficiencies recently brought to light. What is-the remedy? We do not know. Certainly we are spending enough money on education. Sometimes it seems that Ave really are-spending too much money on ��������� education: Probably we are trying to do too much for the child. Maybe it would be a good plan to put the child more on his or her own resources. Books are plentiful; and they are cheap enough. There is now no excuse for the failure of .any boy or girl to secure an education if they want it; and if they do not want an education all the teachers of the earth cannot cram it into their heads. Individualism is a decadent virtue in these days of a growing, tendency to lean upon the state. It might be well to attempt to revive it. The strongest characters in history have been individualists in. the larger sense. Moses would still have been Mioses without Egyptian preceptors; and that.is true of most of the great characters in history. Men and women who really want an education will dig it out of the ground, and it might be well for the educational leaders of the country.to consider the advisability of doing less, instead of more for the boys and girls who are in school. that the sales for the day had reached, $1,000, and that no more large amounts were to be sold to firms until additional ones arrive. While many freak articles were received yesterday, the hundreds of inquiries and stamp sales convinced the officials that- by the end of the month many tons of additional mail will be sent through the office daily. As soon as the office opened yesterday a line of patrons appeared. The line gave the office a holiday appearance until late in the afternoon. The express companies are finding that the parcel post is cutting down their businesses all kinds o,f articles are being sent through, the parcel post since it was opened. We read these days in numerous places how the now system is being used. Read the following from an exchange: Scoop shovels, cowbells, derby hats, pot roasts, eggs, and hundreds of other articles were sent through the local office yesterday by parcels post by a line of patrons who waited patiently that they might secure stamps The Fraser Falley Publicity Bureau should take up the custom of letting the secretary of the Vancouver Board of Trade know that the "knock'-' he gave the Fraser Valley the other day was the kind that will not be permitted to go unchecked by the people of the Fraser Valley. Either Mr. Blair is not, fit to represent the Board' of Trade of Vancouver, or the attempt to knock the county around Vancouver was premeditated. "No '.good land within'one hundred miles of Vancouver- fit for new settlers." Guess Blair is after notoriety, and has resorted to ex- treme. measures-when the proper opportunity came. Besides being a. slap at the Valley it is asoa' slap-at the city itself, as should an eastern paper reprint the evidence as it appeared m the Vancouver Province a very poor opinion of Vancouver and its surroundings would be the result.

Business was quiet at the regular weekly market this morning; rthe cold 'weather evidently having its effect. The supplies were equal' to the demand, however, and prices remained steady with a general tendency to strengthen; ��������� With the cold weather the price of eggs shows signs'of an increase the first jump being noticed this morning when vendors demanded 55 and 60 cents.a dozen, an increase of five cents, per dozen over .the price, last week: The wholesale, price was unchanged, .being 40 and -45 cents a dozen.. . . In the poultry section also prices showed a tendency.to increase. Some- excellent -pullets sold for $15:00 per dozen. Poultry;' live weight, was offered at 20 cents a pound,- and one vendor asked 23 and 24' cents a pound but few sales were made at the latter, price. In the .meat department .there was an excellent showing and no change, in the prices were quoted. Some fine salt&l pork was sold for 18 cents a pound retail, lard 17 cents, heifer beef 18 cents,- pork 15 cents to 18 cents beef 15 to 27 cents, mutton 17 to 20 cents. There is little change in the vegetable department. The prices remain unchanged and the demand shows no sign of an increase. The potato market is a little improved with the price remaining at $13'to $15 per ton. The Prices.

III.���������We believe in large crops, which leave the land better- than they -found it; making'farmers and the farm both; glad :at once. IV.���������We believe in getting- to the bottom of things,, and therefore in deep ploughing, and enough of it; all the better with a subsoil plough. V.���������We believe -that - every farm should own a good farmer. VI.���������We believe that the best fertilizer for any soil is the spirit of industry,- enterprise; ' and intelligence. Withoiut-this,- lime and gypsum, bones and green manure, - mari and guano will be of little use. ��������� VII.���������We believe in good fences, good farms, good farmhouses, good 'or* chards, and children enough to, gather the fruit. .- VIII.���������We believe in a clean kitchen, a' neat wife in it, and a clear conscience.

Tim McElroy, of the Commercial, ,\vho gurcd so prominently in the recent football match, states that he is perfectly recovered and will be in the-bcst of condition for the return match when the weathre moderates.

Alanson, whose hardware store was destroyed in the recent re, has purchased the stock of the Abbotsford Hardware Company on Esandarie avenue, and is now busy fixing up the premises ' to accommodate Ms, evfev increasing, trade. Abbotsford is. certainly endowe'd with its share of tlie "beautiful" this year. The person who coined that word "beautiful" in regard to .snow, according to some of our worthy citizens' opinions, should be relegated to a more congenial clime���������if not already there. Snow, in its place is extremely popular,, but the majority seem..to think the proper place for it is on the top of Mt. Baker.- But.then, the "kidletts" enjoy' it, especially on the big hill. Messrs. Clark and Bolton also appeared to be enjoying themselves on the same hill, much to the amusement of their fellow citizens and others. This opportunity, is taken of extending to all our cus. tamers our many thanks for past favors and soliciting a continuance of same .

"That we respectfully petition the Dominion/Government to formulate regulations making it, incumbent on the shippers' to comply with our fruit marks act before the packages will be allowed in Canada." Proposed by the Shuswap Lake, Notch Hill District Fruit Groovers' Association: "That the tariff on American fruit entering Canada should be at least as high as the American tariff on fruit grown in Canada . exported to the United States?' ^YThis had regard to the fact, .that''whereas the duty on Canadian apples entering the United States is 25c a box, that on American apples coming into Canada, is only 13 cents each. The. Board of Trade will hold a meeting on Monday evening, Jan. 20th, when election of' officers for the com-1 ing year will be held; arso reports from the various committees for last year.

The more we get in touch with the farmer the more do we understand that lie.is a fellow who knows how to do things. . Take that parade of yesterday���������for downright uniqueness and attractiveness it was a hummer, and thoroughly representative of the entire enterprise that has brought the farmer to the front as an entertainer and educator of the city. There will be more parades and more farmers and bigger land shows and extended education as the years pass." The trend is that way. There is a growing realization of the necessity of turning to the land, but as we get in touch with the farmer and the things he does more and more the sense of necessity is changed into one of desirability. The entertaining function in this city yesterday is representative of a condition. In the broader economic .sense the farmer is getting on parade. There is a demand to know him and to know of the things he achieves, . t FRUIT GROWERS' MEETING At a recent meeting of the B. C. Fruit Growers held in Victoria, Mr. C. W.
