HOG MOTOR ACCIDENT ON HIGHWAY A sad-motor accident occurred on Monday evening on Post's Hill; a mile I] east of the Village of Pickering, in which George Allen, of Toronto, met with instant death. A pariy of eight, and Mrs. Brown, of Albany, N.Y. Wesley and two children, of of Napanee, and Toronto, were com- ing from Whitby on their road.to To- ronto, in a large Hudson touring car, driven by Mr. Brown, the owner. When coming down Post's Hill, they were about to meet another car from I] the west. The bright lights of the approaching car, along with the fal- ling snow and rain, made it impos- sible to see the pavement, and as they turned to the right to pass the other car, they went too far, and as the right wheel went into the soft earth, the car swerved to the right, and ran directly into the railing along the side of the road. Three or four posts were broken and the scantling on top want through the windshield, grazing the shoulder of Mrs. Brown, who was sitting on the front seat and struck Mr. Allen, who was sitting in the back seat, fairly in the mouth, breaking both his jaws and causing a evry bad fracture of the base of the skull. = The unfortunate man was taken at once to the village to secure medical aid, but on examination it was found that he was lifeless, death being practically instantaneous, * Dr, Cartwright, the Corner, report- ed the accident to the County Crown Attorney, 'but it was decided that an st was y, as the ac- cident was considered purely acei- dental. --Pickering News Seen mt WHEN.

Last weel® the Ontario Educational Association met in Toronto, and two or three thousand people heard educational and school administration problems discussed. It is worthy' of note that the citizens of Ontario are taking an interest in educational matters. Some observations might be made as to the nature of this interest. 1. Generally speaking, in the matter of school administra- tion and finance the outlook is local. Few people who send in resolutions regarding such matters as taxation, township school boards, large tax areas, consolidated schools, etc., seem to grasp the great principles that should underlie the school law; or care for the results, to the Province as a whole, of action taken to relieve unpleasant conditions in certain lo- calities. There is an element of selfishness in much that is brought forward for discussion and resolution. Locally a consolidated school seems undesirable or is un- popular for various local reasons and such a locality will send in a resolution opposing consolidation in spite of these facts regarding school attendance: In 1921 an analysis of school attendanée figures showed that there were in the Province of Ontario; 6 schools with an average attendance of 1 193 schools with an average attendance of 2 to 5 776 schools with an average attendance of 6 to 10 974 schools with an average attendance of 1 to 10. From the point of view of economy alone it does not pay to have 974 schools where the cost of education per pupil will be about $150. A resolution against consolidated schools is unnecessary for two reasons: 1. There is no attempt by the Government to force Con- solidated Schools upon any community. * 2. - No community can have a De rclidated school unless the majority of the ratepayers concerned vote for it. Much the same spirit is often shown in the matter of local taXATn, Resolutions are brought in by the ratepayers and trustees that would relieve a local situation,' but might be very difficult to carry out and even impose hardship upon other localities. So much for the financial and purely property situation. When the school curriculum is to be reformed the problem is even more difficult. Lately a prominent politician took a rural reader to a convention of rural trustees and promised to have it introduced into the schools, but when he was asked "which he really could not tell. Tic school reader the new text book was to replace Nearly every thinker along educational lines feels con- vines CHAE She curriculum is overloaded. But where? What 'be cut of 2 a re are plenty of answers, but they "few will consider art as unnecessary, or hygiene, music, athletics, etc. All R's are essential, but as pointed out the three R's are merely the tools to be used ri Sh As well ask a man to build a house aw, level, etc, as to ask that a child be 'the three tools R's. But the
