He will be granted a gratuity of three months' salary and a retiring allowance of $133 per month.. His successor will be Samuel .T. VVil- . )in,. 13. A., at present principal of King Edward High School, Vancouver. Dr. Robinson is a native of the north of Ireland. He came to' British Columbia from Nova Scotia in 1890, and. was principal of public schools and of high school in Vancouver up to 1898, when he was appointed superintendent of education. His high standing in education-affairs was recognized in 19 07 by his election to the presidency of the Dominion Education Association. Mr. Robinson belonged to the old school pf curricula, and was a man of firm convictions as to policy. While education under his direction made rapid strides, in later years hs was much in the limelight when he expressed himself as strongly averse to such educational developments as domestic science. Samuel J. Willis received his education at McGill University, Montreal, 1 where he graduated in 19 00, and received his M. A., at Charlottetown, P.E.I.. where he Jed in classics and ot McGill tied with his nearest competitor foi the Chapman medal in classics. Coming west in 1900 he taught in the V'.ctoria High School, and later became principal. In 1915 he was transferred to the University of B.C. as professor of classics. With the resignation of Principal S. W. Mathews at King Edward High School Mr. Willis was apopinted in his place on July 4, 1918. Since then he lias had charge there and has created a very favorable impression both on the students and the teaching staff of tho school.

Wood, chairman of the dominion executive of the Victory Loan made tho following comments on the success of the campaign Lo date: \"The campaign is now practically half finished. The success to date has been due in large measure to the fact that investors who have so far purchased bonds have bought more than they did in previous leans. The fact that experienced investors large and small, have subscribed early and have taken ruore bonds than ever before, indicates that they recognize the attractiveness of the Victory Loan as an investment as well as appreciating the patriotic necessity of cleaning up our war obligations and maintaining prosperity. The total subscribed reported so far aggregate $208,000,- 000. It must be remembered however that this amount includes a very large proportion of the big subscriptions, available and in order to make a success of the loan it will be necessary as in previous years, that the medium and smaller subscribers shall come forward in great numbers. \"The rate of interest carried by the bonds namely 5 1-2 per cent Is same as on the loans issued in the dark days of the war, all pf whi/.'h loans are selling at substantial premiums. As a'matter of fact, this new loan is particularly attractive from the standpoint of the- small investor and one of the gratifying features of the campaign has been the readiness with which tlie employees of industries have taken the loan where they had the experience of buying previous,loans. This is Canada's final war effort and it is not only good business but good patriotism for every Canadian to become the owner of a victory bond.

Bates, Editor and Proprietor FRIDAY, NOVEMBER .7-, 1919 SFCOW DAILY -TRAIN SERVICE INAUGURATED -IN B. (. '\"'' ' The opening' of Lhe new terminal of the Canadian Nationa. with its daily train service marks another step in the growth an*, progress of 'the ���������province. It was only 'when Lhe Canadian Pa cificfouiul its terminal at what is now Vancouver did the Main land of Lhe province begin -to do business, since which time i- has been our pride and our boast to see grow up on the Pacific coast mainland one of the finest provinces of the Dominion, ant. with rapid'si rides. Now that a second daily train service hat been inaugurated through districts not touched by Lhe first rail; way the province should make within the next quarter ol m century double strides with a'termius at Vancouver of a city o; a million of people. The new daily train service of the Canadian National gives the south side of the Fraser .equal advantage with the north aim with its present good-start the'progress on the south side of thfc Fraser should- be even more rapid 'than that fo the north, as it has now greater railway facilities. ., The C. N. R. has been and\" will be as great a factor in the development of the province as has the C. Pi R... as we are only beginuing'to see and find out about British Columbia. The name of the late'Sir Richard McBride, and his colleagues will be linked with the institution of the second daily transcontinental as much as the name of the late Sir John A. Macdonald was with that oi the Canadian Pacific Railway; and there are probably good old Grits in British Columbia who today see no more necessity fo- the second transcontinental than did the good old Grits of Ontario see.for building up into the great ''sea of mountains\" ovei thirty years ago. There are other political comparisons too- just ask John Oliver. GIVING SIR HEXRY A MINT ��������� ��������� The,daily paper published in the morning has been handing out a couple of hints how that poiiticia*,-. should'handle'his department at Ottawa, in order to make i:: meet the requirements of the province of British Columbia in particular. We sincerely hope the Sun will have more success with Sir Henry Draytoii than this paper has had with the premier- of this province, into whom we have been trying to inoculate a little good roads sens for several years now. We don't seem to make much progress However, Sir-Henry is a politician with, great business experience and has already been counted among the successful men. The daily paper announce that Dr..Robinson, has been relieved of ..his job with, three months' pay and and a pension It is over twenty years ago that he took the .position of superintendent of Education i'or the province ot British Columbia anC during that length of time he has befrionded many a teacher o? this'province,-now in the profession and many out of the profession in other walks of life, all of whom will regret to see hin shelved by the present government. The growth of the B. C school system required that a firm hand should control the affairs of education, but we believe the verdict of all will ever b: that while firm, Dr. Robinson was at least fair and no teachei ever suffered at the treatment meted out by the late superintendent of education for British Columbia. When if is considerec that there is trouble in over half of tlr-- school sections of the province at least once a year or more and that it finds its way to the department of education, the position is no sinecure, especially when that is only a part of the duty cf a superintendent Twenty years is a long time to hold such an important position. Statistics furnished by the Finance Department at Ottawr i'or the six months ending September 30th, 1919 show a moa? encouraging state of affairs, even though there has been a dp crease in Canada's total trade as compared with the same sb months of 1918. The total value of Canadian trade, export anc import from April 1st to Sept. 30th. 1918 was $1,087,232,880: and for the same period in the present year $1,054,657,462 o; $32,575,418 less. But the,chief drop was iu the value of imports Exports fell only $11,329,805 as' compared with the 1918 totals When it is remembered that last year the war was still in pro gress and Canada was exporting munitions that ceased to ly made- so soon as the armstice was signed, the decrease in exports is surprisingly low. ft is clear that our exports of a permanent character, both agricultural and of manufactured commodities, must have risen above even those of the war period. Canada therefore has maintained a great, overseas markei for something more than supplies/which she has an opportunitj of ..permanently holding. But this market was only rendered possible by tlie credits-furnished to Great Britain and Europeai countries. Unless the Canadian people by a generous oversubscription to the :1919 Victory Loan, furnish tlie capital whereby these credits and this vast trade can be maintained, the same 'period of 1920Will show a shrinkage that cannot be restored. \\ Governments Hire people put off the evil day as long as possible'in'inany..instance's., and while- the Dominion government as at present constituted may think that the question of gratuities is not an important one.yet we believe the soldiers of Vancouver expressed-a thought which ���������!: put into action would settle the matter just right and to suit the people of Canada. What they said was something like this,' 'we will help to put this loan over, and another one for ourselves', which means that a seventh loan���������a. loan to pay gratuities���������would suit the soldiers and settle the matter/ The politicians should take warning that this is a.question that has had already much thought by the people of Canada, and the verdict favors the soldiers' wishes. /ictory Loan 1919 Is Bridge Between War and Peace. ' Agricultural and , Industrial Prosperity of Canada\" Depends on -'��������� Success of I he Loan. Why is it necessary to have another Victory .Loan? Havcyou heard ibis juery? Or have'you asked it? The Victory Loan ol this year stands out as the bridge between war md r>oa'ce.. The war is over. Our boys won that.-. The reconstruct h>\" period is dawning and we at home mist win that. Much of the money that Canada is asking for will be needed to clean up the war debt.. 'The expenses of demobilization were heavy, and there is still much'of il unpaid.. Now that our men are back, let it. hot be said that we' repudiated tlio debt for bringing (hem, back. The sick and wounded soldiers still in hospitals are expecting that Canada will care for them and tlieir dependents until they have been returned to health and strength. . The hospital services, must be maintained at full strength as long as there are returned men needing attention. Many men through disability arc' unable \"to return to their pre-war occupations. The Department of Soldiers' Civil Re-establishment is doing a fine work in training returned ioldicrs in trades and professions .that they can earn a living at, and is following up the training and see- ing^ that they obtain remunerative ���������employment. The maintaining of this branch of reconstructive service calls for much funds, and-the Victory Loan will be used to pay for it as well as the other purposes. .Under the -Soldiers' Land Settlement Act, enough money is lent to returned soldiers lo enable them to buy and stock a farm., -.This money will be' repaid at a low rate of interest. The soldier is thus given a chance to re-instate himself in civil life, and production' is given a boost. Of the total amount of the forthcoming loan, '$24,000,000 has been apportioned to finance these soldier- farmers. Pensions to the \"disabled and dependents of oiir glorious'deatf, as well as the authorized gratuities will be other ' items' on the expense sheet. These are some of the obligations owing to the .returned soldier who is now in health. The maintaining of Canada's prosperity is an important reason why the Victory Loan should be a smashing success. The money is needed to finance the credits to overseas countries so'that they may continue their trade relations with ifs. If Canada cannot give these credits other countries will, and then Canada will lose all that great overseas trade that has been the mainstay of our agricultural and industrial life for so long] As an investment Victory Bonds are eminent. Paying 5 y2 per cent., selling above' par on the open market, and guaranteed by the Dominion���������- what further reason can you have for hesitating? The Victory Loan 1919 ought to be- oversubscribed, and all right-thinking citizens will do their utmost to see that such'a rer: suit is obtained. LEVELS CRITICISM AT EXAMINATION SYSTEM OF B.C. Criticism of the public school examination system was voiced by. Dr. J. G. Davidson at the annual meeting of the Canadian club, held in the Board of Trade rooms in \"Vancouver this- week. Dr. Davidson declared the present system did not develop the imaginations of the pupils; it simply used their wonderful memories.
