moral training in the schools on the approaching reopening of the schools the bowman ville statesman has a series of timly articles respecting the influence of the public schools among these is quoted the following very pointed and rational viewpoint of j m denyes b a our own observant and experienced inspector of public schools for halton the schools must supply the moral train- ingwjhich hie homesandchurcheshave failed to give it is impossible to separate moral cul ture from any other form of culture to be ob- tained in the schools of the province for good citizenship and culture and every other form of intellectual skill must be interpreted in the terms of the pupils ability to apply them to everyday life it is only when culture is applied to life in a moral sense that there is the highest form of citizenship and we believe all experienced teachers will agree in the main with his carefully thought out opinion every school teacher thercforevshoul b a p cat christian man or woman the schoolroom next to the home is the best place to inculcate high moral principles the greatest problems of the day are social commercial and religious and each of these must be approached from the moral viewpoint for the three problems are inseparable from morality neither learning skiujioj wealth can solve the social and the economicproblems of the age but what is need ed is a moral consciousness if the schools can implant in the minds of the scholars the proper conception of obedience honesty trustfulness and all the allied traits which accompany those characteristics much will have been accomplish ed in the direction of building a moral citizen- ship which will make its influence felt in the years to tcome instruction alone is not suf ficient so far as morals are concerned in other words it is not enough to give the pupils weekly or daily lectures on morality the re quirements being actual and n constant daily- practice he mr woodnlde leff on monday for winnipeg and
