C  THURSDAY   HORNING, MARCH  31.   <9>n\nNa295\nHIGH SCHOOLS\nAt One Section of Yester-\n*.    day's Convention\nInteresting Mode) Lessons\nin Various Subjects\nAddresses at Evening Public Meeting\n-The deliberations of the' high school\nteachers were carried-on yesterday in\ntbe principals room. Eighteen or\nt twenty teachers represented the greater number of the upper country high\nschools. In pleasing style Mr. C. McLean Fraser presided over this section,\ndirecting discussion into Interesting\nchannels.\nFirst Form Latin\n\"First Form Latin\" was -the heading\nof a paper read by Mlsa Jj*.. MoNaugh-\nton. The paper contained so much of\npractical value to the teachers of Latla\nthat a shower of appreciation waa later\nheaped upon -the author's head. .The\nbest results in Latin, as ln other bu*j-\njeota, were stated to be achieved b\/\n- the teachers having a very definite goal\nin view for each lesson and fior the\nyear's work, and having the pupils arrive at that goal along the Une* of the\nleast resistance. Constant repetition\nwaa much recommended, Bince the .beginnings of any subject are difficult to\nmaster. The early Introduction of the\nliterature legends and history of ancient\nRome was urged, together with the\nvisualizing of words and sentences, and\nworking up their local Interests Into\nthe Latin language 'with tbe ultimate\nobject ot their thinking in Caesar','\nlanguage.\nLatin Problems      .     ,.\nThe chairman paid first tribute to\nthe helpfulness of tbe address. Mr. W.\nH.' Hudson, M.A., principal of the Kaslo\nhigh school, pursued the Latin problems, laying a bit of stress upon the\nmemorizing ot the most beautiful lines\ntrom Latin literature instead ot getting\nby heart the grammatical rales. Other\ntlpthe gave htocolfeague* were to have\ndictation -lessons and class' conversations in Latin and to have'a care tha.*.\nthe pupils* accent and Quantity were\nsunn as would not -bring; blushes to the\ncheeks of such old Roman* as have\nbeen \"dead and turned to clay\" for\ncenturies.\nHard Work Remains\nMr. Wilson and Mr. Miller presented\n, bouquets, and then- a new voice was\nheard. Rev. J. T. Ferguson pleaded tor\nan Innings and his -masterly grasp 'of\nthe whole Roman situation vindicated\nhie right to be at 'tat just at this juncture. For devices to do away with\nhard work in the study of Latin, he\ndeclared that they all fall, and the hard\nwork remains. That, however, was not\ngiven as an argument for doing away\nwith Caesar, Virgil, Livy and .the rest\nof their set. His reverence even went\nso far as to say that there Is no sound\nculture without Latin. Furthermore he\n(Would .have lt introduced into public\nschool life among 'the vulgar fractions\nand apothecaries' weight and common\nmultiples and all such low things, on\nthe plea that the younger the child tbe\nbetter he likes to juggle with queer\nwords. Mr. Ferguson added that It iwas\nwell to keep one's vocabulary on the\n.bottom shelf and use It all the .while,\nsince words stored up In the aub-con-\nscloua region come straggling along\njust 24 hours after one has needed\nthem,\nphysiography\nSeventeen teachers felt that they had\nbeen born under lucky stars, for wasn't\nIt given to them exclusively to hear\nMr. C. MoLean Fraser talk on \"Physiography\" for a few minutes. The subject\nwaa fascinating in itself- an*d the arguments were marshalled Into attract*\u2122\norder and clothed ln the choicest of\nlanguage. Putting It baldly, the paper,\nwas a logical presentation of reasons\nwhy natural science should ibe taught\nin the lowest grade of the high scnooi.\nThe speaker would make a place for It\nby Bivlng the subject of drawing shorter\nahratt. How can the blind lead the\nblind, was asked, and similarly, how can\npublic school teachers handle natural\nscience if at high school they do Hot\nBtudy it As to whv lt should be dwelt\nnoon here, whether tn any other province or not, the paper averred that\nphyslogiapbioai condition* can . be\nstudied in Brltiah Columbia to' hotter\nadvantage than elsewhere. The mountain* themselves, their tumultuous\nstreams the lake expansions, the forest\ntree*, snowslides and avalanche*,' magnificent -cloud ettfects, summer aunaets\n\u2022aong mountains, ail were at hand to\nacta comprehension of the \u2022tudy ot na-\n,tural phenomena. And \u25a0wheuajrt the\nobject ot the course wa* \"sweetne*,\nand light,\" or purely utilitarian ends, It\nwas advanced that a knowledge ot air\ncurrent*, atmospheric condition*,- refraction and absorption of light the eVeots\not eeforestratloU\u2014<hese muat be of\nvalue.

Archie Bishop has been casting around for likely players, and a\ngood battery .Ib. ln Bight, if the proposition goes through, there will likely be\nthree or four, imported players, while\nNelaon boys will make up the balance\nof the team. Archie hiBself will probably play in the infield, and will either\ncaptain or manage the team.\nThis will mean probably weekly\ngames at the Recreation grounds\nthroughout the season.\nIt is whispered that If this project\ngoes through, the Patrick boys, if nothing Interferes, 'have something up their\nsleeve ft**, the shape, of & ball team from\nthe mill of the Patrick Lumber company at Crescent Valley.

At present tho\npremier, declared, there was a lyi-caim-\neral system only In.name. Tbe lords\nwas a frankly partisan assembly. It\nwsb always ready to pass bills of one\nparty and to reject *he main bills of\nanother \"Party. He for one would\nrather live under the absolute autocracy\not an elected single chamber than have\nsuperadded to .it this simulacrum ol a\nsecond chamber.\nOn Democratic Basis\nIn reference to the constitution of the\nsecond chamber. Mr. Asquith eaid lt\nmust be relatively small In numbers\nand must rest upon democratic and not\nan hereditary basis, tt must not be\ngoverned by partisanship tempered\nwith panic hut must be responsive to\nand dependent upon the will of tho\ncountry, Tihe resolutions, he would\nmove later, the premier said, were not\nput forward aa a final solution of die\nproblem. The government must flrst\nprevent a repetition of the unconetntu-\ntional raid of last year Into the domain\nof finance. Tke only way by which the\nconstitution provides for the wll! of the\ncommons being accepted *y the lards\nwas hy the creation of peers and that\nweapon .was not appropriate.\nNeither Ends Nor Mend,\nMr.' Balfour declared that the government's proposal neither ended nor\nmended tihe lords. The premier had\nta'ked said Mr. Balfour, as though an\naggressive hereditary chamber had.\nmade It Impossible ito carry on the country's legislation. Coming down to an\nanalysis of the government's three solutions Mr. Balfour said ln 'regard to\nthe first that no authority had ever suggested -that the-lords had no power to\n\u2022reject money bil's. They had ie right,\nhe insisted, and ought to keep It. IThe\nproposal that the speaker should decide whether or not a bill was a money\nbill, said Mr. Balfour, made -the speaker\nnot merely the guardian of the rights\nof .the commons, but in a certain sense\nthe author of their legislation. It was\nmadness, contended Mr. Balfour, for\nthe government to make a change in\nthe constitution, fhe whole' plan wai\nreally grotesque. It waa Impossible\nthai a scheme as intrinsically absurd\nas this party colored legislation, could\nsurvive. The government, said Mr. Balfour, was going to initiate a period of\nconstitution controversy which' he 'believed would ibe utterly Inconsistent\nwith the genuine pursuit of. social reform. Tbe government, he believed,\nhad Ibeen Ill-advised in the course they\nwero taking <frotm every point of vtew\nand he should offer at every stage of\nthese resolutions 'the 'Strongest opposition that It was in Ibis power to give..\nIrish Congratulation, .\n. Mr. Redmond congratulated the premier upon'the substance of the resolutions which Mr., Redmond said he and\nhis' followers would heartily support.\nHe was glad that all reference to reform had 'been dropped from the resolutions: for the last thing he iwlahed lor\nwaa the etrengtiniening of the other\nhouse. Mr.' Redmond, however, would\nnot hind himself to say that no amendments could be made. He made lt clear\nthat the subsequent support of the\nIrish would depend upon; pressing the\nveto question, without interposing the\nbudget, He said that if the lords re-\nJeotyKthe veto measure, the premier\nshould appeal to the throne and If \u00abJie\nthrone's prerogative te refused, he muat\nnot delay but muat appeal to the country without Interposing other measures,\nHe could Be assured of the Irish support on these conditions. -.\nOpposition Amendment\nThe opposition's amendment to the\nAsquith resolutions will be moved tomorrow, Thursday. It will declare for\na strong and efficient second chamber\nand is willing to consider proposals for\nreform of tne existing second chamber,\nbut decline* to proceed iwlth proposals\nWhich would destroy the usefulness of\nany second chamber and remove the\nonly safeguard against great changes\nbeing made .by a government of the\nday without the consent and against the\nwishes of the majority of the elector!\nNationalists Will Support\nLONDON, March 30\u2014The Nationalist*, at a meeting over which John Redmond presided today decided that while\nglvlni %en*rai roppont to the government'* veto resolution*, tbey would vote\nIU tavor of amendment* making the legislation by the house of commons ef-\nf Attve npoh a seoond rejection by the\nlords Instead of. upon the third rejection and removing the condition that\ntwo years -must elapse between the introduction of a bill and Its final passage ln the house of commons.'\n\u2022 WELSH COAL STRIKE AVOIDED \u2022\n\u2022                            \u2022\n\u2022 LONDON, March 30\u2014Th, Mln- \u2022\n\u2022 ers' Federation of Great Britain \u2022\n. voted to accept. the- terms of .\n.   settlement    proposed    by    the .\n\u2022 South Wales coal mine owners *\na- and  the   threatened   strike   has .\n\u2022 been avoided. .\nWILL SELECT SITES\nFOR ORCINRDS\nDeputy Minister Starts for Kootenay\u2014\nFernie Magistrate's Course Criticized by Minister\n'Special   to  The'  Dally  News.)\nVICTORIA, March, 30\u2014Deputy minister S\u00ab!ott leaves tonight for Kootenay\nto select sites for three demonstration\norchards In that district\nDoes Not Approve\nAttorney -General Bowser does not\napprove of the course bf the Fernle magistrate in restricting press reports of\n\u25a0the preliminary hearing in the Coal\nCreek hold up case.

C;, March 30.\u2014\nThe terms of the new tariff agreement\nbetween Canada and United States\nwere made public here today. The\nconcessions provided by the agreement\nwill, cover less than three per cent, of\nall the export business from the United\nStates li^to Canada in a year. They\nwill cover, business amounting to about\n$5,000,000 against .imports into Canada\nfrom the United States amounting to\nmore than $180,000,000 in the Canadian\nfiscal year of 190ft. They include about\nforty staple .commodities.\nImportant Concession.\nOne of the most important concessions made by Canada is that of the\nomnibus clause In the Canadian tariff.\nHeretofore all articles under that clause\nimported from the United States have\nbeen subject to the general tariff of\n20 per cent, ad valorem. Thereafter\nthese articles will pay seventeen and a\nhalf per cent, ad valorem. Cotton seed,\ncovered by that clause exceeds $500,-\n000 annually. Vegetables, mineral waters and .manufactures of celluloid are\namong the other articles of larger importation. Drugs and dyes exceed\n$300,000. Other leading articles covered by the conceded clause are lime,\nsausage, casings, sponges, manufactures of straw and glycerine and camphor gums, magnesia, carbonate of\nBoda and miscellaneous breadstuffs.\nDried Fruits.\nThe largest single group of staple\ncommodities Included in the agreement\ncomprises dates, figs, raisins, prunes,\ncurrants, almonds and other nuts. The\nexport of those commodities In the\nlast fiscal yeai* were more than $1,140,-\n000. The competition in them from\nFrance and Spain reached $000,000.\nWatch actions and movements in which\nthere Is competition from Switzerland\namounted to $500,000.

In all these articles there Is\neither active or prospective competl*.\ntlon between tbe products of France\nand the other countries Included In the\nfavored nation treaty.\nMinimum Rates.\nThe re-adjustment, according to the\nofficial statement extends to the United States the minimum rates of certain commodities In which not only\nFrance, but a number of the nations\nhave an advantage over the United\nStates, Switzerland, Austria-Hungary,\nSpain and Japan are said to be the most\nimportant competitors. It is pointed\nout the first schedule of the Franco-\nCanadian treaty does not constitute a\ndiscrimination against the United\nStates as it deals almost exclusively\nwith specialties, none of which come\ninto competition with products of the\nUnited States. j\nCanada's Firm Stand.\nIn copies of the correspondence hetween W. S. Fielding, minister of finance for Canada, and United States\nSecretary of State Knox, which was today given out with the statement of the\nagreement, the Canadian letters indicate a firm stand in the contentions\nmade In the negotiations by Canada.\n\"While unable to waive any of the contentions which Canada has held\nthroughout our discussion on the subject\" w-rtite Mr. iFelding, \"I appreciate\nthe exceptional reasons and circumstances advanced by the president for\nhis request.

J. Campbell, Willow Point, in\nopening the meeting said that a little\ndifference in freight rates was much\nless important than a difference in\nmarketing facilities. The loss of the\n'barge service they had enjoyed would\ngo far to put them out of business unless the C. P. R. should do what it had\nvirtually promised and establish pre-\ncooling stations. It would mean a loss\nof 45 cents per crate, he had calculated.\nHe had hoped to have a definite letter from Mr. Peters for this meeting\nbut it had not been received. Mr.\nPeters pleading press of business, but\nsaying he would write soon. With\na pre-cooling warehouse, fruit could\nbe safely stored while waiting to make\nup a car load. In fact the fruit would\nimprove; it would be hardened and\nwould be in better shape to stand shipment. If put Into a ierrigerator car\nbefore being cooled it would get out\nof condition. With pre-cooling warehouses they would be sure of having\nthe advantage of refrigerator treatment\nfrom the beginning to the end- He\nwas sure the C. P. R. realized that ib\nwas In. their own interest to make it\npossible for fruit growers to get their\nproduct properly marketed. With this\nspirit on their part it would only be\nnecessary to convince them that what\nthe fruit growers asked is practical and\nadvantageous.\nThe meeting was then organized with\nMr. Campbell as chairman and M. S.\nMiddleton as secretary.\nPre-cooling Warehouse.\nA. Ke-llogg said he had much experience in fruit growing in California.\nNext to having good fruit, the most\nimportant thing was pre-cooling warehouses in order that the fruit might be\ncooled before being placed on the refrigerator cars. Next to that came\nproper distribution to their markets so\nthat the fruit would be sent where it\nwas wanted. It was also most important to be able to divide car lots in\ntransit without having to pay local\nrates. It was similarly important to\nhave daily wires from the prairie towns\nas to the condition of the market in\neach of them so as not to send their\nstuff where there was a glut on the\nmarket.\nBy pre-coollng before shipping on refrigerator cars they had been able in\n-California to keep fruit in good condition for 31 days.\nThe Barge tndtspensible.\nJames Johnson said that with the\nbarge a warehouse was not at present\nnecessary and without, a barge a warehouse would he of no use. The barge\nlast year collected the fruit, around the\nlake in the morning. During the\npreceding night it was cooled. The\nclimate here was ideal in that respect;\nthe invariably cool nights made It an\neasy matter to pre-cool the fruit without a warehouse. On the other hand\nif there was' no barge th\u00a9 damage\nwould be done to the fruit before it\nreached the warehouse.\nBefore they got the barge they hRd\ndifficulty in marketing and were subjected to deductions because of the\ncondition in which the fruit was delivered. Since then he had had no\nsuch deductions.\nThe barge system had been an absolute success; It had shown that there\nwas a good profit to the fruit grower.\nThe ranchers were eager to have it\ncontinue not for this year only, but tor\nsome years to come. If it were ended\nit would put them out of business.\nMr. Campbell: Would it not be a\ngood thing to have a pre-cooling station\nto gather ear lots?\nMr. Johnston:   Certainly.\nMr. Campbell went on to say that the\nC. P. R. had allowed them to break\nbulk at Reglna, but not at other points.\nAt these other points, however, the\ndealers were seldom able to take a -car\nlot at a time. t\nThere were a number of other questions awaiting answers., If cars were\nheld waiting they must have refrigeration. Should the C. P, R. bear the\ncost?\nMr. Kellogg said the California railways built cooling stations and made\nno -special charge. One rate included\neverything.\nThe Danger Point.\nMr. Johnson said they wanted both\nthe barge and the cooling station, but\nif forced to choose he would take tbe\nbarge in preference to the station.\nThere was more danger to the fruit In\n(Continued on page four.j\n PAGE TWO\n(She -fltaHtt ll*****.*\nTHURSDAY  MARCH 31.\ntit\ntit\ntit\ntit\ntit\nm\ntit\ntit\n-    -*.WaW\ntil\ntit\ntit\ntit\ntit\ntit\ntit\ntit\ntit\ntit\ntit\ntit\ntit\ntit\ntit\ntit\ntil\ntit\nHi\ntit\ntit\ntit\ntit\ntit\ntit\nti\ntit\ntit\ntit\ntil\ntit\ntil\ntil\ntit\ntit\ntit\nM\n\" The GHy of Destiny \u00bb\nfl\nfl\n__________k________________w______w___w___-_-_ A\nOn the beautiful Willapa Bay.

Limited\nW. O. FOSTER  Manager.\nTHURSDAY,  MARCH  31.\nMILLING  FOR THE COAST TRADE.\nThe flour mill now under,consideration Is understood to contemplate the\nlocal market ehlyr But why should not\nNelson te the site ot mills Intended to\nsupply the whole of the. territory, on\nthe new C. P. R. line from the Crow's\nNest Pass to the coast? Why should\nnot flour be ground here for the market in Vancouver, Victoria; and even\nfurther? Where lg there a better point\nto mill for this market? '\nGrain grown on the prairie of\nSouthern Alberta and Saskatchewan\nfor consumption on the coast ln the\nform of flour will travel a shorter distance by going through Nelson than by\ngoing over any other route. And on\nthat short route the best point for milling is where they can find water power\nconvenient to a distributing centre.\nAt present some of it goes east to\nWinnipeg or Keewatln, Is ground there,\nand then is shipped back again. At\nWinnipeg power costs much more than\nhere. At Keewatln there is no distributing centre much nearer than\nWinnipeg itself. So far as the west-\n'ern market is concerned the Keewatln\nmill simply pays freight on Its (lour\ninstead of on Its fuel. Even the Winnipeg mills must pay the freight all the\nway* ffont'fhe western fields to Winnipeg and' back.\nA good deal of flour is ground tn Calgary,\u2014from wheat brought up from the\nsouth,\u2014and there are several large\nmills ln Lethbrldge. Neither of these\ncities has water power, and when the\nKettle river line is completed the shortest route from the wheat fields to the\ncoast will be via the Crow's NeBt Pass,\nnot through Calgary. Furthermore this\nroute will have easier grades and will\nbe more economical to operate in\nwinter.\nVancouver will be no better situated\nas to freight rates, for lt is Just as\nmuch further from the source ot supply as It is nearer to the coast market.\nSo far as the interior of the province\nls concerned, it will be at a disadvantage. Again, Vancouver has no water\npower and pays a high price for fuel.\nIt may seem like anticipating events\nto speak of the conditions that will exist when the Kettle River line ls completed, two or three years from now.\nBut, in the life of a city, two yeara is\nnot a long time to look ahead.\nTHE BARGE SERVICE ON THE\nLAKE.\nIt is probable that the barge service\non Kootenay Luke did not pay last\nyear, will not pay this year, and may\nnot pay next year. Yet lt ls to be\nhoped that the company will see Its\nway to guarantee the continuance of\nthis service.\nThe situation ls analagous to that of\nthe building of a railway on tbe prairie.\nIt may not pay the first year. Certainly the C. P. R. from Brandon to\nCalgary did not. But the company,\nfinding a loss at the end of the first or\nsecond year, did not tear up its track\nand discontinue the operation of Its\nline..\nWhen a railway ls built, farmers can\nsafely go in for growing grain along\nUs route. So long as they do not\nknow whether it ls to lie built or not,\nthey would be.foolish to spend their\ntime and money ln bringing land under\ncultivation and raising crops which\nthey cannot market.\nThe building of a railway leads to\nsettlement 'because lt gives the farmer\nthe assurance that, not for one year or\ntwo years 'but permanently, he will\nhave facilities for marketing his products. He can then safely lay out for\nhimself a programme covering several\nyear*.\nSo with, the fruitgrower* on tbe lake.\nAll seem unanimous ln speaking with\nthe greatest satisfaction of the result*\nof last year's experiment, and Cully de\ntermined to Increase their acreage\nyear hy year If they can be assured of\na continuance' of the service given.\nBut without the security given by such\nan .assurance, they do not feel, warranted ln laying out capital In the form\nof time, labor and cash.\nIt, will probably take a year or two\nto work the acreage up to such an extent as will make the service a profitable one. But the ultimate annual\nprofit will be large and permanent.\nFortunately they have to deal with a\ncompany capable of looking at the subject in a broad way, and able to plan\noperations covering more than a few\nmonths.\nFACT V8. THEORY..\nThe London,'. England, Financial News\nsays:\nAn interesting proof that the\nEnglish Investor ls alive to what Is\ngoing on ls contained ln the fact\nthat the Four per Cent. Bonds of\nthe Province of Alberta are prac-\nticaly unobtainable on the Stock\nExchange.\nThis is from the latest Issue to hand\nof the Financial News and It refers to\nthe bonds of a province which has\nguaranteed both principal and interest\nor railway bonds to a greater extent\nthan British Columbia. Further than\nthat spme of the, bonds,\u2014those of the\nQieat Waterwayd railway,\u2014were not\nthose of a responsible company. Yet\nAlberta's credit seems to be still fairly good; there are buyers*for her bonds\nl-ut no sellers.   -\nBy the way has anyone heard, lately,\nof the awful drop that was going to\ntake plape In British Columbia's credit\nand in the price of her provincial\nsecurities If the C. N. R. contract bo-\ncame law? --\u25a0\nWANT BARGE\n(Continued from First Page.).\ngetting it to the cooling station than\nin all the rest of the journey to market.\nMr. Campbell said the danger that\noccurred to him was this. Laat year\ntheir shipments of strawberries were\nso small that tbey could always be\npromptly marketed. With increased\nacreage tbey might have ito hold them\nover for a day or two at a time to\navoid glutting the market. They could\nnot do thla without a cooling station.\nIncreasing Acreage.\nJ. D. Kerr said the acreage (this year\nwould probably be smaller than last\nyear because people had heard that the\n'barge service might be discontinued\nand so had not planted. If they knew\nthat It would be continued, a much\nlarger acreage would be put in. He\nwould much sooner pay 10 or 15 cents\nmore per crate. for this security.\nRanchers would be willing to stipulate\nthat shipments would come up to a\ncertain amount if the service were continued. If this were guaranteed for\nsome years tbey would go ahead ln\nconfidence and plant a largely Increased acreage year after year until the\nquantity was sufficient to make the\nservice profitable.\nMr. Campbell said that with this increased acreage they would need a\nstoring station to avoid glutting the\nmarket at points.\nE. W. Bateman said that it was competition among themselves and not\nany gluts that had been responsible for\nany drops last year.\nMr. Campbell Bald there seemed to\nbe a general ''agreement tbat this year\nthey wanted the barge more urgently\nthan the station. But tbe heed of the\nstation would be urgent with Increased\nacreage, and tbey must begin to work\nfor it now.\nMr. C. W. West said that while the\nbarge service was Indispensable, a pre-\ncooling station would be valuable even\nthis year for gathering car lots ot\nsome fruits.\nResolutions.\nThe following resolutions were then\npassed unanimously:\nThat the Dominion Express Company\nbe'urged to guarantee the .continuance\nof tbe barge service on Kootenay lake\nfrom year to year, so as ito give security in the planting of increased acreage.\nThat the C. P. R. be urged to establish this year a pre-cooling warehouse\nat Kootenay Landing or some other\nsuitable place on Kootenay Jake.\nMr. Campbell than raised the question of co-operative marketing. Bhould\nthey ask the provincial government to\ntake up the matter and do at the Al-\n-berta government 4M In handling dairy\nproducts? If so how -far should tho\ngovernment go? Should It confine Itself to arranging to get dally reports\nby wire from all Uw prairie towns giving 400 Mat* of tme market there or\nshould It undertake the business of\nmarketing the fruit?\n' Mr. Mlddleton thought.the government should handle the whole business,\nguaranteeing the quality to the consumer, and guaranteeing the money to\nthe shipper. It would raise the refutation and prloe of our fruit and secure\nproper marketing.\nMr. Johnson said they had tried cooperation and It had failed. There\nshould be some central organization to\nhandle the fruit of the whole province\notherwise when advices' came -that\nthere were so many cars' wanted, say\nat Calgary, several districts might Ship\nat once to that point. He did not\nthink the government should be asked\nto guarantee the money to the grower.\nD. A. Macdonald was elected delegate to the Kamloops convention and\ninstructed to press for the undertaking\nof this work by the government.\nThe question was raised as to what\naction Bhtfuld be taken with regard to\nthe local sale of fruit Imported from\nWashington and marked in a way -misleading- as to the -character and quality\nof the contents of Hie boxes, fruit\nwas sold in this way that would be\nquite different from what the -marking\non the box Indicated. It was often\nalso insufficiently marked.\nThe chairman said that tt was against\nthe law to expose for sale fruit In\nboxes Insufficiently marked or marked\nln a misleading manner. The question had come up before and he had\ntaken the question up. Since then a\nlocal Inspector of fruit had been appointed, J. G. Bunyan ot the customs\nhouse. ' It was their duty to assist him\nin the enforcement of the law, and\nthere was no reason to believe that If\ncases were brought to hts notice he\nwould foe backward ln taking propel\naction to secure convictions.\nThe following additional resolution*\nwere passed unanimously:\nThat the minimum car lot should be\nreduced so as to be no -greater than\nin the states to the south. *\nThat the C. P. R. be requested to\ngrant leave to open cars at different\npoints in transit for distribution of the\ncontents.\nROOSEVELT LEAVE8 EGYPT.\nALBEXANDRIA, March 30.\u2014Former\nPresident Roosevelt, Mrs. Roosevelt,\nKermlt and Miss Ethel, sailed for\nNaples this afternoon on the steamer\nPrinz Helnrlch.\nFully nine out of every ten eases of\nrheumatism Is simply rheumatism of the\nmuscles due to cold or damp, or chronic\nrheumatism, neither of which require any\nInternal treatment All that is needed to\nafford relief is the free application of\nChamberlain's Liniment Give lt a trim!.\nTou are certain to be pleased with the\nSulck relief which lt affords.

Wilcox in\nan attempt to play a Joke on Sleight-\nhelm hid himself under a culvert and\nas Slelghtholm was about to pass\nJumped put pn his hands and knees and\nImitated a dog. barking and snapping.\nIt waa dark at the time and Slelghtholm, thinking lt was a dog swung a\npiece of Iron around, striking Wilcox\non the head splitting It. open and fracturing the skull. Wilcox waa taken to\nToronto ln a critical condition.\nChamberlain's Stomach and liver Tab-\ntots are safi, sura and reliable, and have\n  \u2022>\u2014 thousands of women who\n  through their\nsi***\ncurative proporUes.\nidea that somebody should be attacked\nfor third class certificates having been\nallowed to become perpetual, particularly since history and geography-have\nno place on the program of studies for\nthirde. Mr. Wilson was ot the opinion\nthat It would be dltflcult to fmme .1\ncourse of Instruction which would better meet the claims from every Quarter\nthaQ the one at present opemtiw. Mr.\nHudson believed that if history and geography were replaoed on third olaes\nwork It would create tbe necessity of\n\u2022dropping subjects ftt year ends and epe-\notalising, after the fashion in some\ncountries, -before the student's education was rounded Out\nTeaching of Literature\nThe paper by Mr. -Clothier on high\nschool literature was very suggestive.\nHe claimed that this was tflfe unost important and helpful study in the whole\nhigh school course. Mr. Clothier la plan-\nly an enthusiast on this subject He\ninsisted on a knowledge of details In\nreading. These must be mastered lest\nthe pupil should miss -the beauty and\n\u25a0humor of a descriptive passage. This\ntrained his mind to watch for hidden\ngems or quaint terms of humor, that\nare ver**** often lost to all but subtle\nminds. In the study of poetry, a knowledge of the circumstances of .the poet's\nlife and the age at wbich-thie poem was\nwritten was necessary to rightly comprehend the meaning. These meanings,\ntoo, the pupils should dig out for themselves, the teachers only suggesting\nwhere -they had gone hopelessly astray.\nA have for the passages might only be\ninstilled by attention being called to\nthem.\nAesthetic Side First\nMiss Smith, in opening the discussion, remarked that she emphasized in\nher teaching of literature the aesthetic\nrather than the scientific side and conducted the study so that the pupils'\nability to judge between the good and\nbad should be true and lasting.\nThe Measure of the Teacher\nAn apology for his frequent recurrence preluded Mr. MoCaig's after dinner speech on \"The Measure of the\nTeacher.\" This proved a sort of putt-\ning the teacher next to what an inspector looks Dor in ithe man or woman who\npresides in the school room.\nEfficiency and Personality\nEffflciency and personality were given\nas the yardsticks applied by the inspector. The measuring up for * efficiency\nIncluded the discipline or class manner,\nclass Instruction, and attention to tho\ndetails of school system. Personality\ncovered such points as health and appearance, culture and character, and\nprofessional zeal. These features were\nexpanded in turn, while each listener\nmentally calculated how he and his\nneighbor would measure up.\nVote of Thanks\nMr. Wilson moved a vote of thanks\nto the gifted speaker In a speech studiously conservative and free from undue flattery, in endorsing this Mr.\nMurphy gave free expression to his admiration of the Alberta educationist's\npart in the institute program. The latter, in turn .declared he was repaid for\nearning. .\nCo-Operative Discipline\nMiss M. E. Ross read a .paper explaining how she kept -the smaller oogs\nfrom slipping in the school room. \"Cooperative discipline\" it was called. That\nthe boys and girls at school pay no\ntaxes but perform all other duties of\ncitizenship (was considered) reason\nenough for their having a share ln the\ngovernment of their small community.\nThe exact 'basis of distributing honors,\nawarding emoluments and meting out\npunishments, tn this miniature kingdom, was given. S. Acheson paid compliments to the paper and then conjured up a type of iformer day school\nroom \"Where severe disciplining1 was\ncalled for. A successful member of the\ncity stafif cleared up the atmosphere\nby narrating an instance where her hoys\ncooperated with each other for the\neverlasting good of an unruly pupil.\nThis admin isterlng-of-the-bumps topic\nproved arefreshlne and assorted varieties of bumps were presented.\nThe afternoon session had been presided over by W. H. M. May, second\nvice-president of ttie institute.\nIntermediate Section\nThe intermediate section of the convention opened with a model lesson ln\narltiimetlo toy Miss L*. C. Smith, teacher\nof 'the intermediate grade in the Nelson\nschool. Twelve girls and hoys selected\nfrom the school served to Illustrate the\nmethod used. In this lesson the question of (fractions was under discussion\nand Miss Smith showed in a very able\nmanner how this study, always so difficult to the youthful mind, could bo\nbest presented. The proper definition\nof a fraction was Insisted upon, both\nby blackboard and disc work. Throughout the lesson great thoroughness characterized -every stage. This fact was\nvery favorably commented upon by\nthose taking part in the discussion. No\nattempt was made by Miss Smith to\nslide over the difficulties of the case.\nA hesitating pupil was made to see ani\nunderstand the facts before the lesson\nwas allc(wied to proceed.\nMore Model Lessons\nJohn Smith of Fernle, formerly uf\nthe provincial normal school at Truro,\nN.S., In opening the discussion advocated very strenuously the use of model\nlessons at such conventions as this,\nas opposed to essays by the teachers.\nHe suggested as an excellent method\nthe one used in his native province of\nhavin*-* the morning sessions of the convention devoted to model lessons by experts In 'tbe various departments, and\nthe afternoon and evening sessions\ngiven up to the answering of questions\nfrom a general question book by the\nmorning speakers, No definite action\nwas taken on this question.\nGeography Illuminated\nThis disousslon was followed by an\naddress by Mr. Murphy, principal of tlie\nmodiei school, Vancouver, on teaching\nof geography. Mr. Murphy showed In\na most Interesting address bow, \u00abjr tol-\nlowlac -tbe realistic method, teogr*phy\ncould be made a most Interesting study.\n\u2022Text books he would dispense -with until the pupil should be able to compile\none tor himself. The first lessons\nshould be practical ones on the -physical\nfeatures of the home town or country\naide. Nature, itself was the text book\nused In the first lessons, while truths\nlearned combined with imagination, provided the pupil with the materials for\nthe study of other countries. Comparison of position and general 'build of different continents enabled tiie -pupil to\ndetermine similarities in the climatic\nconditions and lhe products of the soil.\nMr. Murphy emphasised the importance of map drawing bv tbe pupils,\n(where they could represent the mountains, rivers, etc., with the exclusion of\nall non-essemttals. In the senior grade\nwork they were left to their own resources when they must use their own\nJudgment ln accepting and rejecting\nmaterial, tblsfore writing the chapter required.\nNight Proceedings.\n-The guests of honor at last night's\n- session were the citizens, and of these\na number of prominent men were associated fwlth iPtestdent Wits on the\nplatform. Felicitations were earliest in\norder to -the. Institute for its happy fortunes ln having so fine a building placed ait their disposal for the week and\nto the city for having the equally happy\nfortune An being graced by the presence\nof so intellectual a group of workers.\nEducational Ideas\nPresent .day educational Ideal were\nset forth in an address by M<r. McCalg.\nThese Ideals were traced from the embryonic stage, -The clerical idea covering a thousand years or more; the\nculture or scholastic era setting in late\nIn the seventeenth century, and the latter day Ideal of service or efficiency.\nOf vivid interest -was made the tale of\nholiness training In monastic schools,\nwhere vows of- celibacy, poverty and\nobedience were taken. It was demonstrated that thii notion of education\nconnected k not in the remotest way\nwith benefits to society. By and by a\ncorrective movement set in which founded schools in connection with the monasteries and legitimatized Intellectual\nInterests, thus recognizing larger interests than tbe purely clerical era. Not\nthat public Interests were yet generally\naMected, but the expansion had begun.\nThe Modern University\nArriving at the development of the\nmodern university the speaker told how\neach of the branches, law, medicine, history, languages, literature. JouTnatlsni\nand lastly agriculture, have obtained recognition by the university. The present tendency of the university, said he,\nis to reach down into the lives of the\npeople. But the older Ideals had not\nbeen summarily discarded. The ibest in\neach had filtered Into the present modification,- the broadening, into a triple\nsystem of education. A word on the\npublic schools ibrougbt the teachers\n\u25a0back to their* native element. The\nspeaker closed with a hopeful forecast\nof educational development in this province where reside intelligent classes\n\u25a0from all tihe civilized world and the\ncountry of Bruce as well.\nJuoge Forin\nJudge Forin (was applauded as he\ntook the floo^ to tell of the evolution\nof our public school -system. Notwlta-\nstanding the pride of Canadians in tlie.r\n\u25a0schools the speaker had doubts as to\nthe wisdom of expanding on the subject so late In. the evening. There followed, however, so intensely entertaining an account oi the rise of tree schools\nin Canada that the audience was all attention even to the last word. All the\ngreat names in the century long\nstruggle for free schools, as it took\nplace down bv the Atlantic and in Ontario were reviewed! and due honors\ngiven each hero.\nMrs. Stevenson of Fernie delighted\nwith the vocal solos \"My Aln Folk.\"\n\"Annie Laurie,\" and tttostt's \"Good-Bye\"\nand a piano duet was rendered by tiie\nMisses Bealby.\nConvention Notes\nDid you notice that every one of the\nKfaslo t-eacliiers, higHi end public, Is\nspending the week in town? Moreover.\nthey have the grace not to put on airs\nthough they do come from one of th?\nmoat charmine of British Columbia's\nsummer places.\n\u2022The view from -tine summit of any\nof (the mountains can be recommendel\nito such of the teachers as have a tasto\nfor the beautiGul in landscapes.\nThe city's churches have come in for\na good share of admiration while tbe\nconvention is on.*\nThe trio of ladies who went to so\nmuch work arranging for the geography\ncontest have the teachers' very best\nthanks. Perhaps they feel rewarded by\nhaving seen how well the game pleased\nand how much latent knowledge It\nstirred up.\nGood Idea\nOne of the.ideas about to be carried\nfrom   division six to' 110 other   class\nrooms Is that of having an honor roll\nfor the puulls who find -earliest wild\nbirds and flowers of each variety.\nHis WlnnlnaWay\nTwo-thirds Of the dfifortable feeling\nthat  pervades the proceedings comps\nfrom President Glllls' masterly tact an!\nthe winning way he has of asking for\nwhat lie iwants.   TWo-thlrds of the rest\nOf lt  is traceable ito E.  H.  Murphy's\ngeniality.    By the'same token he's a\nbroth of a .boy.\nThe handsome front windows of ths\nNelson school, with, their attractive\ndisplay of - flowering plants, are the\nenvy of tihe teachers who have a less\nbroad outlook from their school room*].\n-That huge bowl of daffodils In the assembly' hall was a happy thought on the\npart of the committee.'\nMi.

His virile addresses have had much to do with stini-\nulatln-*** ithe teachers to think back for\na while In psychological lines.\nOne of yesterday's speakers made a\ncapital shot when he said that It was\na teacher's right to get caried a bit\nbeyond his average altitude at convention time.

On\nthe one hand the provinces contend\nthat \"the British North America act\nshould be amended in the direction of\ngivln\u00ab legislative sanction to the jurisdiction claimed by ithe provinces, As\nagainst 'this view the Domdtnion representatives proposed that in all matters\ninvolving a constitutional issue the matters ln dispute should ibe referred in\nthe shape nf a stated case, to the supreme court and if necessary carried\n-to the Privy council ln order to obtain\nan authoritative judicial decision that\nwould be binding on all panties for all\ntime.\nIn discussing ithe proposal of the Dominion, the 'provincial representatives\nIiv stress on the -tact that a judicial\ndecision might lead to greater confusion than that -which exists at present\nand there -might be a loss of revenue\nfrom the fees charged tor incorporating\ncompanies.\nDominion's Power    \u00bb\nBoth the minister of Justice and the\nsecretary of state comlbatjted the statements and it was pointed out that .when\na decision of the supreme court upset\nwhat had been the practice of the patent office for over a quarter of a century, the Dominion government promptly had legislation passed validating all\npatents that iwere affected by the decision In question. If .the* court should\ndecide against the jurisdiction claimed\nby the -provinces, the Dominion parliament could again pass legislation validating <-be Incorporation of all provincial companies Incorporated before such\ndecision was rendered and which but\nfor such Dominion legislation might be\nheld to be Invalid. The'conference adjourned to permit the provincial delegates to confer upon the subjects under\ndiscussion.\nHATS!\nSPRING HATS\nARg READY\nFOR PICKING\n,nd if he Is at all\nhat is always the\nEvery man needs a new hat at this time of year and\nparticular about his dress he will have one.
