The Analysis Given by Rev. Prof. McComb. the principalship of Queen's being still unsettled, it is worth while recalling what Rev. Prof. McComb pointed out an ideal Queen's principal should be. He said : "It is no exaggeration to sav that the future of Queen's depends on the man who is to take up the fallen reins of power. For at the point we have reached in the evolution of higher edu- cational institutes in all newer coun- tries to-day, it is the principal and not the charter that really makes the university. : "In the spirit of Louis XIV he ought to be able to say: 'l am the univer- sity." He is the visible and living em- bodiment of its ideals, the fashioner of its policy, the warder of its inter- the overseer of its internal life, and the intermediary channel of sym- pathetic contact with the other world. rr "It is to his brain that we must look for new schemes of ex- ! pansion, for larger and more adequate methods of keeping pace with the i crowing moral and intellectual ad- | vancement of the community, for new ways of liquidating increased expendi- ture and of making usually intractable ends comfortably meet. He is to con- vince the trustees of the feasibility of { his plans and still urge them on" to higher things. Yet ultimately before | their bar he stands or falls. "We want a man who is religions by temperament and training. He must be in sympathy with the creed | which underlies all our éeclosi cal | differences, and must act as a healing ; and reconciling power among men who stand apart in points of faith and dogma. In order to do this he must already have won the respect of per- sons of diverse denominational lean- jAngs, Hence he will be no bigot, no faddist, no theological or social fire- brand, no one-eyed prophet - disturh- { ie and harassing the thoughts of his without any promise of a more generous readjustment. This does not mean that he will have no con- vietions, but does mean that his con- victions will be tempered 'with the re- flection that others alco share in a measure of rational light and guil- ance, and he will enter with apprecia- tion into minds not cast in the sanfe mould as his own. He will secure the ! confidence of the churches, and tun the feet of their sons toward those temples of knowledge whose founda- "tions were laid by men who sousht to 'wed a sound learning with a iniine piety.

Kingston, Oct. 8.--(To the Editor) : A Bluenose, whose brag is equal to that of the vainest Yankee that ever had a tongue, wants to know if On- tario gver had a boy who was as clever as his or her boy. Well yes, I know of at least two Kingston lads who matriculated with honors and en- tered college when only thirteen years of age, a year younger than the one from Nova Scotia. There may have been others for all I know, and On- tario can no doubt number them by the score. But we look upon such lads as prodigies, and the fewer of them the better. 1 am glad, however, to in- form our Nova Scotia friend that he, or she is not the only unfortunate one to own such a learned son. There are others, and always will be others, and they will not all belong to Nova Scotia, either.--READER. Should Take Action. Kingston, Oct. 8.--(To the Edi- tor): The comprehensive editorial in the Whig of Monday last, regarding the scarcity of fuel, and calling to the notice of the city council, the import- ance of making provision for the need of the poor of our city, was well tim- ed and to the point. It is to be hoped our council will immediately move in this matter; otherwise there will he severe suffering from lack of fuel, on the part of many. By making such provision as you suggest the council will earn the gratitude of the poor and the esteem of all charitably' dis- posed Christian people.--HUMANITY. Makes Explanation. Kingston, Oct. 8.--(To the Editor): When comparing the different meth- ods of school work and systems of Ontario and Nova Scotia, 1 had no idea it would be made an article in your journal, and if you will kindly allow me space, there are a few things that | would correct. 1 only spoke of the two systems, not for one moment thinking of the teachers or the abili- ty of the boys. You may have far abler teachers and boys who have done better work. I do not know en- ough about "Ontario's teaching or the places the boys have taken in their different walks of life to judge, but 1 know that the short hour system has worked well with us and our boys have held their own with the best. 1 meant to 'convey the idea that the aged from ten to fourteen years uch long® hours are too fagged to give two or two and a half hours to hom¢ work. And about the system of moving. 1 meant that if a teacher is too nervous to let boys talk or let off steam be- tween the cldsses that the Dboys, "through fear, will obey, bat they will deceive teacher and We will never gain their confidence: 1 did not mean for one moment that the boys are so at the schools. And about the fees. A stranger has a right and -it is a ples- ure to pay, but I only spoke of it in comparison to the free school system which we have. I did not know - at what age the boys passed the en- trance examinations, and they are no doubt - far-in advance of our boys. You may have many who are readv for Queen's, vet too young to attend with profit. 3 Lansdowne's Soldiers Praised.
