The government made a tentative agreement with the United States for reciprocal reduction of customs duties between the two countries. The opposition said this was the first step toward joining the United States and the old flag was unfurled and waved from every hustings. The people rallied to the flag and the government went down to defeat. Right Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King is an astute politician and possibly a real statesman. He is convinced that Imner- ial connection is good for Canada and -also heis convinced that the country wants the Imperial -connection, whicTi is quite a different, matter. The former is a matter of states manship and the latter of politics. He remembers the value of flag waving and it looks as if he will be prepared to do a little himself. We miss our guess if Empire trade does not loom large in the coming election. As Canada has once flouted the United States from a trade point of view and as since then Canada has been kept at a distance by the big country to the south, the only alternative is to secure closer trade relations with Britain. DISCOURAGING EXAMPLE Australia is a discouraging example for high tariff advocates. In that country the tariff wall has been steadily raised until today it is almost a tight fence against imports. Duties range from 40 to GO per cent and yet that country is not prosperous. Immigration has practically ceased and there is much greater unemploymeht than in Canada. With the falling off of imports, there has been a drop in exports and there is a heavy discount against Australian money. it U BLACK & WHITE" '"(SI wpi SCOTCH WHISKY DISTILLED.

Advertising and Circulation Telephone ..if.98 Editor and Reporters' Telephone v.86 Member of Audit Bureau of Circulations DAILY EDITION Thursday, April 17, 1930 ELECTION THIS YEAR It is probable that there will be a federal election this year, the Mackenzie King government croincr to the coun try again to ask endorfsation on their past policy and a mandate to carry on for another period. They do not have to hold an election this year but under our system of government it is easier to hold an election than to pilot the government through a last session. Even this year both parties have had their eyes continuously on the- constituencies with the result that much time has been wasted. Should there be another session the condition would be much worse. It seems pretty sure under these conditions that an apepal to the country will be taken this -year;' probably in the summer between seeding and harvest. WHAT WILL BE ISSUE In spite of the effort of Hon. R. B. Bennett, Conservative leader, to make the tariff the leading issue at the general election, it seems likely that this will not be the fight. It will be remembered that awav back in 1911 the Liberals INSPECTOR IS SPEAKER C. Frasr Tells Parent-Teachers of ' School Curriculum, Home '''Study and Report Cards "'' i.' " '. the Prince Rupert Parent-Teachers' Association was held last evening in the Borden Street School. Mrs. R'. Blance presided over a good attendance of members. ed that in Grades t. to IV. the young pupil-was supplied with the tools of education. He received a thorough explained by the speaker, and listened to with especial interest by all parents present. Orads V. to VIII. dealt also with the tools of education, but now more emphasis was put upon teach ing the pupil to make use of these tools. More time was also now given to the social studies such as history and geography.; Formal grammar, or the science of language, wa now begun. In Grade-VII. and VIII. definite text laolqr. vtem atctssrlbed for the study Vf hltory, and pupils were taught how to studyfor themselves from the prescribed, text books and encouraged to do collateral reading. Home Study In dealing with the vexed quee- nun ui jjuuie siuuy, Mr. rruer ae- pupu. n was proaucxive pj m conversation! luch good. It taught the pirpfl 'to tackle problems independently and to cope with difficulties. The Department of Education recognized the value of home study. In the rules and regulations for elementary schools the department set out definite rules for home study. In the first three grades no home study i was required. In Grades IV. to VI.! from 30 minutes to one hour waa suggested while in Grades VII. and VIII. one and a half hours of home work might be assigned. Pupil should be encouraged not to dally over assigned tjsks. Mr. Fraser then proceeded to explain the system of marking report card bynjsns of the tetter; to, B, C. D, E. A Excellent, B Good,' C Very Fair, p Fair, E Poor. Rank-ingwas obiained byrneans of the "normal curve." In an average class of say 40 pupils the top 5 or two would rank A; the next 20 or eight would rank B; the middle i'0 or 20 would be average grade nuplls and would rank C: the next 20 or eight would be slightly b low average and would rank D. while the bottom 5 or two would rank E. If a child's report card contained C as the rank in any subject, the parents should not feel discour aged as this was the ranking of the I middle 50 of the class or the av erage grade pupils. The rank C was further modified by marking those pupils tending towards B as C plus, and those pupils tending towards D as a nimus, while the middle aver age nuplls were marked slmDlv C At .the conclusion of the address W. W. C. O'Neill and Miss M. Bhlell moved a vote of thanks to the speaker and many parents expres sed their pleasure at listening to an address of so much practical value and interest. Mrs.fe. E.
