CLOSE ABOUT THIRD 0F RURAL SCHOOLS INSPECTOR SUGGESTS Col. E. E. Snider, Fresident of In- spectors' Section of O.E.A., Said Better Education Frovided in Consolidated Units From one-quarter ta one-third ofj the small rural schools of Ontario1 could be closed and bett.er accommo-j dation and trainin.g given their pu-1 pils in large consolidated rural schools, at an annual saving of $5001 Per school closed, Col. E. E. Snider,i Port Hope. president of tee inspect-i ors' section, stated at the annual1 O.E.A. convention in Toronto last week. He also expressed the belief that "the farther we get away from the local section government within limits in school administration, the greater the economy and progres- siveness will be." In an exhaustive report upon in-4 vestigations conducted in various1 states ta the south, as well as in1 Ontario, Col. Snlder sliowed test the rural one-room school pupils lagged from one-hlf to one year behind pupils of tee samie age la larger unit rural schools; that the cost per pupil decreased as the size of tee school increased, and that the youngest and least experienced teacliers in the province taught in the one-room schools. In reading and aritlimetic invest- igations over large numbers of Ischools showed that pupils o! the one-room unit lagged a year behind pupils of larger schools. Another investigation showed they were haif a year behind tee larger school in "spelling achievement and compre- hension.' Similar lags existed in ihistory, writing and geography. "These studies indicate that pupils trained in large rurai achools ac- quire a better mastery o! the f unda- mentais o! learning, grade for grade, tean thase trained in one- teacher schoola," said Col Snider. " The causes of these conditions are no doubt better classification and teaching. better accommodation and surroundings, and greater regularlty of attendance in the large unit sehools." Statlstics f rom the Department of Education showed that the average teaching experience of the teacher in tee rural scliools in Ontario was 5.77 years compared with 13.88 years in the urban schools. The average cost per pupil in the school attend- ed by up ta five pupils was $198 a vear; was $115 in those attended by five ta 10 pupils. and was $60 a vear in ail larger rural schools. "'As the size of the elementary school increases, tee coat per pupi decreases.' said Col. Snider. "And hs is true o! the consolidated scliools o! Ontario as shown by the reports of the Minister a! Educa- tian. and this in face o! the f act that in many cases new and btter buildings, eniarged school grounids, and more suitable and btter equip- ment have been pravlded." iCanada Pîays Vivid Part In Progress of the Empire, A quarter century may seemn short in the history of an "old' nation. but in Canada's it represent.s rapid growte., immense changes in nat- ional development and external re- lationships, attainment of sovereign status within the British Empire and considerable power and prestige in the councils of the world. Out of aIl proportion to the dom- inion's growth in population during this period-only about 3,000000-is its remnarkable increase in agricult- urai, mninerai, paper and manufact- 1 uring production, its building con- struction and its external trade. 1Mere figures are inadecluate to tell tee story. The fact that hydre- electric power juxnped f rom less than 1.000.000 liorsepower in 1911 ta 7.500.000; that the gross production of tee pulp and paper industry jumped in value to $244.000.000, out- distancing ail other countres: that external trade increased by $1, 000,- 000,000. is less impressive than cer- tain specific acts and accomplisli- ments.

GOD SAVE THEEKING Joining the League Af ter the World War Canada took it.s place in the League of Nations, speaking in its own right and bring- ing its independent influence to bear on behaif of disarmament and per- manent peace. By the Statute of Westminster ail pretensions to con- trol of Canadian af! airs by the Brit- ls Parliament were removed and the common sovereignty of the king was recognized as the only officiai connection. A British Higli Commissioner was sent to Ottawa as spokesman for the British Government. Canada from 1927 to 1928 appointed its own ministers to Washington. London. Tokyo, and Paris, and sent trade comm.issioners throughout the world to compete for business. Previous to this. Canada showed its independence by arranging with the United States for a Joint Water- ways Commission for t.he settling of anY and ail differences arising over boundary waters. The commission ha-s amicably settled every problem that lias come Up and proved a model to the world. Empire Conference Foremo-t in construction work was the building of the new Welland Ship Canal, at a cost of $130,000.000, which allows the big grain carriers to descend to Lake Ontario.

Bridges, steaniships, hotels and aviation have kept Pace with de- mands for greater speed and luxury. and radio sets have come into haîf the homes. The importance of "new" Canada wit.hin the Empire was emphasized at the Imperial Economxic Confer- ence at Ottawa in 1932. There, largely through the efforts of the Canadian Prime Minister. R. B. Bennett. the British "lleague" mrised defense trade barriers against for- eign nations and increased business among themnselves ta their great mutual advantage. Canada continues ta develop apace, despite world difficulties. and there is every Promise that the next 25 years wilI be even more glorious than the last.
