for education today we are faced with three out standing problems in the field of edu cation these are curriculum educa tional finance and educational admin istration happily for ontario people the present minister of education dr l j simpson and his deputy mini ster dr duncan mcarthur are both men of vision they are surrounded also by officials of tried experience and thus we have had introduced in to our educational system a very pro gressive new course of study with further changes that are now being worked out the curriculum problem will be largely solved there still re main the problems of educational fin ance and administration for years the greater part of edu catlonal costs has been borne by real estate taxes have become very heavy and relief is anxiously sought by all home owners a very commendable attempt was made last year to light en this load when the government gave a one mill tax rebate to all muni cipalities the trend at the present time in regard to educational finance is toward a greater measure of state support similar to the systems in vogue in the majority of english speaking countries this will be reali zed when one observes that the pro vincial grants to education in 1885 1916 and 1935 were 366270 1281 386 and 4 793 198 respectively there can be no doubt that the govern ment is aware of the need for reliev ing the taxpayers burden hand in hand witti a more pro gressive system of educational fin ance must be included a more modem system of educational administration it is an accepted fact that all child ren are entitled to equal educational opportunities it is also an accepted fact that the movement of the popu latlon from rural to large urban areas has reached alarming proportions during the past quarter of a century it would appear that an outstanding contributory cause has been the type of education offered to rural children in order to improve the educational services offered to our rural boys and girls it may be necessary to institute a different system of educational ad ministration with due regard to effi ciency effectiveness and economy one of the great barriers to pro gress in any field is lack of unity this has been true in the field of education for years there have been numerous educational associations and organizations in the province of on tarlo but there has never been any deflite form or unity the result of this has been that each group from time to time forward to the depart mem of education certain resolu tions which may be contradicted by resolutions forwarded by another group the task of estimating the wishes of the ontario people becomes very difficult under those circum stances it would seem most logical to bring all these groups together and create a strong organization qualified by numbers and representation peak for the province in matters pertaining to education councils boards of trade manufacturers service clubs and rural organizations are most vitally interested would it not be sound common sense amalgamate all existing bodies and invite in other groups so that by in vestigation and conference we might decide what the best interests of edu cation really are and then carefully and judicially arrange the most suit able programme this year the ontario educational association at the easter convention in toronto will discuss a proposal to squires reorganize into five departments that will include all inspectors teachers trustees and ratepayers home and school club members and all other organizations that are in terested in supporting a move to give the best type of education to our boys and girls the board of direc tors of such a new oea would then he in a position to carry to our offi cials the considered opinion of all classes during easter week thousands of progressive teachers trustees and ratepayers will meet in toronto for three days toey will discuss nun dreds of problems on monday even ing april 18th at convocation hall addresses will be given by his honour albert matthews lieutenant- governor of ontario w j salter b a president of the oea and dr alan valentine president of the uni versity of rochester on tuesday evening hon l j simpson md l ld minister of education and dr frank cody superintendent of public schools for detroit will be the prin cipal speakers on wednesday even ing a great musical festival will be held at massey hall the schools of the province will provide the talent for this occasion in the mornings and afternoons the conference will divide up into twenty seven sections where discussions will take place on almost every question pertaining to education the gea has been able to secure many outstanding educa tionists to assist in these discussions among these are included hon paul leduc minister of mines hon p m dewan minister of agriculture dr duncan mcarthur deputy minister of education dr h f munro superln tendent of education for nova scotia dr george rogers chief inspector of

educational parliament attempt to unify all groups in this province is an undertaking that speaks well for the president and dl rectors of the oea it is the hope of cer citizen in ontario that this years convention will be a marked success and that it will assist in de veloping a loyalty to british tradl tlons a more practical and progres sive educational system a more sym pathetic understanding
