HE BAHAMAS AND THE FIBRE INDUsTRY-Sir
Ambrose Shea's report to Lord Knutsford on
the Bahamas Blue Book for 1890 will be read
with satisfaction by all who have an interest
in the welfare Of fthat Colony. There was a
distinct Improvement in the business of the
islands last year, and this improvement was
almost solely due to the increasb in the fibre
cultivation. Sir Henry Blake, who initiated
this, and Sir Ambrose. who il unremitting
in his exertions to foster the industry, are
both in London now, and they will, no doubt,
be able to compare notes. to the further ad-
vantage Of the Bahamas. The imports into
the Colony last year show an increase of 38
per cent, and the exports about So per cent.
over the figures of the previous year. 1t is
satisfactory to note that in the food article
OF -four, the increased import is rs per cent,
showing the improved means of the people,
and the tendency to adopt a better standard
OF living, which, the Governor thinks, is but
the beginning of q change in their habits of
life that should lead to greater energy in their
industrial pursuits. The imports from the
United Kingdom were 25 per cent. in advance
for the year 1889. The imports aggregated
222,512I. and the exports l68.12lI.. 23,559L.
of this amount were goods of foreign produc.
ton, leaving the bona Jde export of local pro-
ducts l44,56M.. The revenue for the year
was 54.626l., and sthef.expenditu r 1851.

The sum of 495 dollars was awarded for
prizes. His Excellency Sir Napier Broome
was present, and we are told cheerfully
ignored the wet, and in distributing the
prizes, he encouraged and complimented the
working.men with kindly words. "He
lunched, too, with the Society, and as rainy
days are proverbially hungry days, the Soci-
ETY. and their distinguished guest, no doubt,
enjoyed their well-earned luncheon
Our distant readers are aware that the
Agricultural Society have been for some time
urging upon the Legislature the necessity
for a second Experimental Station of a more
extensive character than DOdds, and the for
nation of q scheme to extend Technical
Teaching among the Agricultural portion of
the community. The Executive Committee
have approved the proposal, and it may be
said to be now in the hands of the popular
branch of the Legislature. Water Hall and
Spriag plantations have been spoken of as
desirable for the Station, seeing that they
can be purchased out of Chancery. Soma
parties prefer Mount Wilton, or an estate in
ats neighbourhood, but the delay inevitable
to such an undertaking is urged as an objec.
ton to such an effort, and in favor of Water
Hall and Spring.
The rains have fortunately provided work
for the labourers, and it is reported from all
the parishes that they are accepting it cheer
fully. the absence of native provisions making
the lines, in some places, very hard for them.
The st. Phillip correspondent regrets that
the Water Supply Company are doing very
little at this time. They have ceased oper-
atoms entirely on one shaft in the parish,
and work is done in a very l%eisurely way on
the last shaft that was taken in hand. This
is the more to be regretted as the Company
have conferred a great boon on the labourers
when the crop season has been brought to q
close. The Bridgetown Company have com.
pleted their extensive works at BotUmanston,
which also gave employment to q large num-
Der of labourers for a long time.

AN ASSISTANT LECTURER FOR
THE BARBADOS PROFESSOR
OF CHEMISTRY.

from PIaatsr's Journal, July 10.)
Iii unfortunate that SO many delays should
have occurred to prevent the early passing of
so important a measure as the Bill to provide
an Assistant Lecturer for the Island Professor
OF Chemistry, whereby could be started a sys-
TEN OF Agricultural and Technical science
teaching. We trust, however, that these de-
lays have brought improvement to the original
scheme, and that the result will be more
effective, and more beneficial.
We understand that the scheme now propo.
SEES to extend Science Teaching to the Lodge
School, and that elementary instruction will
he afforded to Second Grade Schools as we'll.
Originally all the instruction was to take place
at the Government Laboratory at Harrison.
College, but it is now proposed that the Az.
aistant Lecturer should have two country

The sisal industry has now passed out Of the
experimental stage, and it is expected that the
first exports of fibre will take place next year.
Of course, the quantity will be small, but
there is little doubt that it will develop annual
ly into proportions of increasing .mportan ce;
indeed, the Governor says, sin the natural
order of things it will ever be the main export. >
1t is certainly surprising that up to the pre-
sent no effective method of cleaning the fibre
has peen hit upon. Numerous machines have
been invented, but none seem to meet all re-
quirements. Some of them clean the fibre we'll,
but the process, we are told, is waste full, and
the correction of this defect is the oh iect to be-
accomplished. We are glad to hear that Pro-
fessor Edison hopes he has found an Elective
method which avoids waste. The treatment
is BY solution Of crude petroleum, and the
Government # the Bahamas are now in com
munication with the Professor. 1t is under
stood that the same solution may be used many
times, and, if present hopes are realised, the
petroleum will be admitted free of the duty

centres, one being at the Lodge, and one at
ZONE other suitable place, so that the distance
from the Teaching Institution should not be
an ~insuperable obstacle to the attendance of
pupils from country Schools. The Assistant
Lecturer will spend one day at each of these
centres, and three days in Town. And in this
way 1t is hoped, that it will be possible to
impart a general knowledge at the country
centres, while the more advanced and special
lied teaching can take place at the Central
Laboratory in Town. A large proportion of the
Assistant Lecturers time must be given to the
Central Institution, because without that, adj
vanced teaching would be impossible.
According to this scheme, the Lodge School
will attain a much desired necessity; and there,
as at Harrison. College, the school curriculum
will comprise Science as we'll as Classics and
Mathematics, as it shoull do at every
First Grade School. The Lodge School
will thus have advanced with tho times,
and will have admitted the necessity of sci
ence being now included in every liberal
education.
It will be patent to everyone that it is q
considerable undertaking for the Island Pro-
lessor, and an Assistant Lecturer, between
them, to commence q teaching so extensive;
because a training in Agricultural and Techni-
cal Science, such as is sketched out for the
Central Institution, involves a number of courses.
And whore there is added to this, the fact that
the Assistant will spend two days out of FIVE
teaching in the country, it will be seen that
to effectively carry out the undertaking will
be no light task. 1t has been felt that it
would seriously hamper students to enter on
the advanced course with no preliminary
knowledge: and we are glad, therefore, to see
that EIomoufaru coioDoa kaoohiDn 70 20 r. co
extended. We do not, however, wish to see
the advanced teaching suffer by the extension
of elementary teaching: both are needed: but
especially is there needed an Institution where
boys who will hereafter become, we trust,
scientific and enterprising agriculturists, may
be well grounded in that scientific knowledge,
without which it will be impossible for our
island to compete with the ever moving out
side world. Nothing In heaven or earth
stands still. and we therefore must not at
tempt q repose which would threaten our very
existence. Everyone should have a knowledge
of scientific elements if they are to be considered
intelligently educated; and we therefore well
come the proposal to spread these elements to
Second Grade as we'll as First Grade Schools.
But while this ia desirable, On Institution for
thorough and advanced teaching is absolutely
necessary, and we hope therefore that the
advanced teaching will not suffer by the extern
sion of the elementary. We trust that in flu
ture, still another Lecturer will be appointed,
whereby both town and country teaching may
be extended. It is a welcome fact however. that
both our First Grade Schools will now be able
to afford a science teaching worthy of First
Grade Schools; and we wish success to the
attempt to make scien ce a subject of education
for the whole island.
