It has taken us longer to realize that conditions have Changed and. that, we nwtjlo toisjijesa on a different basis. , Prince Jlupert people have been slow to adapt thern-selves to the new conditions. The grocers led the way by giving us food just as cheap a3 anywhere, consistent with quality. Other merchants have followed or are following The result is bound to be beneficial. Very soon we shall find fish prices stiffening, salmon canneries will be operating, the mills will be cutting lumber and we shall be once again showing activity. Every dollar produced in the district will be an impetus to business, just a8 eVery dollar sent out of town Which could be. expended here will be a hindrance. WHAT AltE FRILLS? The question of "frills" in connection with the work of ? W is at present more oress agitating the public mind. When frills are mentioned it is usually assumed that reference is made to manual training and domestic science One reeent correspondent seemg to have assumed that the commercial court Is a frill. Then comes another correspondent who consfders French, Latin, history and botany as frills. The Vancouver Province, in & recent editorial article says: i'The arie oi couf9e no Ch things as educational frills. The phrase h d catchword and nothing more It has no real meaning. What is a frill to one may be essential to another Wallpaper is useless on-a bridge, but may be a very proper covering for the wall of a room. So a great deal depends oft who is viewing the situation and from what angle he is looking at it. It must not be forgotten that there is a good deal of snobbery about education. It came from the top dowfi, and still bears many evidences of its origin. It was once the privilege of the few. Now it has spread and leavened the whole lump, or most Of it, and is regarded as the right of the many. But our education is not yet. democratic in a proper sense. Relics of its old aris tocfatlcTOgs still cling to it, and It has never been properly adjusted to the needs of the many." all Our coals are in a DRY SHED DelfWM Dry l 1W few.
