movement we go right along with ontario s fducation minister dunlop on his overall views on educa tion speaking recently he deplored the removal of hard work and competition from schools and said there is a movement back to the 3 r s and without them none of us can really navigate there s a lot of money being spent on educa tion these days young people spend a good part of their lives

dunlop but we do look back with interest on the clays when it was as big an honor to be chosen first for a spelling match and stay up longest as it was to win a championship on field day perhaps he too can remember the competitions in mental arithmetic and when the copy books gave examples of good writing if competition is good in field sports in rugby and hockey and has to be met when every boy and girl goes out to make a living it would seem that competition might bring some improvement in spelling reading writing and arithmetic per haps some of you older readers remember when the first six students for the month in each grade had their names and marks published in the paper we would like to confide to you that 11 wan 1 the paper whjch stoppe thi compfitiiiarl i 1 iuls stems to have no elteet on securing mon itl rens for the positions this is evidenced by the loci that extra nominations have had to be called tc fill all ihe posts the public service otcomrnls ion and school board where no remuneration is provided have been filled at the first nomination looking on from the outside it would appear citizens are not prepared to g ve the time from their leisure or business to assume council posi tons perhaps the fault lies with citizens in gene ral who may be demanding too much of the time of members of council it may be that those w fill these posts are finding that n 1
