i mt au i un tkcl kkta m i un sjin i mk iw this compulsion business if the department of education and school boards throughout ontario are experiencing trouble with the teachers federation a great part of the blame can be laid on the legislature of the province of ontario which passed legislation mak ing tt computsory for secretaries of school boards to deduct dues from teachers salaries and com pulsory for all teachers to belong to the federa tion no other group of citirens of the province of ontario that we know of have a check off sys tern for their group backed by the law of the pro vince but then of course no other manufacturer in the province is barred from using yellow in coloring iheir product except those who manu facture butter substitutes all of these occur m a land where equality is stressed but to get back to education troubles which uem at the moment centred m toronto it seems ridiculous to the average man or worryin to read of the trivial incident that is causing dissension in our educational circles and the means being used to enforce the demands of the federation upon the public of that city suppose every citnen of the province decided hv would not take partwsnyfwties4jevond their work hours we would have no school boards no councils no church or social activities no one participating m sports no volunteer fire brigades no trophies or scholarships for school pupils no service clubs these and many other things which go into community life are extra currtcular work of citizens in every walk of life take them away and we have assembly line life in all our hours of the day the power of the teachers federation is be ing badly directed if we are to udge by the re cent articles of the toronto papers and the exper ience that is being had elsewhere in the province it would be well if the government of ontario in the interest of the province s alliens at large re sanded the bill which forces the checkoff for federation dues and made membership in the organization optional as it is m most every other union and the payment of dues a matter for th individual to decide it might be w se f teachers federaion of ficials in the nterest of those the

champion prior to that we had been m partnership with the kile h p inaooic of acton ind for neatly 45 years we have been engaged in newspaper work and printing in both canada ind the united states it is indeed a scurce of greit satisfaction to us that both sons have chosen to continue with our life work and that we have been able to continue actively with them many times we have been so occupied that we have felt that we did not give our readers and customers all the attention their loyalty deserved their forbearance with us is indeed appreciated and oft times as we entered newspaper competi dons if was nor only the trophy which we aimed at but rather the tudgment of others to determine ntbutnewspap vrentgivmg goo se the- awards of merit which adorn the walls of the champion and the free press offices have urged us on to the lime when the present arrangements could be culminated we would indeed be remiss if we did not share any credit which may be accorded to our newspapers with a wife who has been always willing to assist and a most loyal staff m both offices we are very thankful that all these mem bers of staff continue in the organization with us this is by no means a valedictory or farewell the present editor will continue to write the edi tonal columns and some other articles for both newspapers he will continue to give of his ex penence in the printing field and
