Cýaverly, with Jean Balson at the piano. Our guest speaker, Mr. M. A. Campbell, Sec'y Ont. School Trus- tees and Ratepayers Ass'n, and editor of The Canadian Schooi Journal, was introduced by our president, Ken Caverly. Mr. Campbell stated how a Home and Schooi Ass'n is of great assist- ance to trustees in dealing with schooi problems. Government grants to schoois were explained and the advisability of providing "free books for pupils" was point- ed out. Where two or more sec- tions co-operate in the transpor- tation of children to'school the government will pay 50 per cent of the cost. We must have a new type of education for rural schools since in Ontario, out of every 100 pupils entering school, only 64 obtain high school entrance; 54 began in grade 9; 12 write exam- mnations in grade 13, and oniy 3 attend university. Reigious edu- cation is an important addition ta the schooi curriculuth as 200, 000 school children in Ontario neyer go to, Sunday School. Boys and girls are the chief concern of school boards and higher salariesj must be paid, to attract qualified people ta the teaching profession. Radio is useful in the classroom and the C.B.C. is spending large sums on educational programs. Hot lunches should be provided1 for those who eat at school. Manual training, agriculture and home economics are of foremost > importance in a rural school. Township Areas a nd County Centres with suitabie schools ta teach the knowledge required ta live successfully in the community are ideals ta strive for.' Mr. A. E. Billett moved, and Mrs. J. Reynolds seconded, a votet of thanks for the excellent ad-c Elress, and the consîderation Mr. Campbell showed in coming from Toronto in unfavorable weather. A vote was taken ta determine the most suitable hour for the annuai ratepayers' meeting, and 8 p.m. was the unanimous de- cision. Mrs. T. Westlake, program. con- I vener, introduced Master Glennc Williams, who played "Roll Out t the- Barrell" and several Christ-f mas numbers on his harmonica in f a most skilîful fashion.

The cleavage is not; con- incd to Ontario, but I will con- fine what I have ta say ta Ontario because it is the province with wvhich I am more intiniately acquainted. As I sec it, there are :hree main points af cicavage: L.anguage, Religion and Politics. Let me say at the outset, as a native of England who has lived over 30 ycars in Ontario, that I have neyer found any antipathy among Ontario people against the people of Quebec because they speak the French language. On the contrary, many people would like ta be able ta spcak French, and some of us regard aunselves as a iittle superior if wc can guess the mcaning of the headiines in a Quebec ncwspaper or reel off a few colloquiai French phrases. But the average Ontarian has no time ta learn French, and if he .ad he would have no use for it. "You must remember that Can- da is a bilinguai country," said afriend of mine the other day. "If that is so," I replied, "~how comes it that you can't speak 'rench?" The plain fact is that Canada is nat a bilingual coun- try. Switzerhand is bilingual and most of the people can speak Ger- man and French sufficiently ta nderstand each other. Qucbec is be only part of Canada which1 an be called bilingual, but even] ierc this is truc chiefly of the1 ýities. Someone has said that the manj xbo can speak in twa languages as two souls. Canada may be kened to such a man, but anc ofi ier souhs is in Quebcc and the( )ther is in the rest of the Do-i ninion. The saul of Qucbec isî indaubtcdly enshrined in and1 îeaks through the French ian- mage. For that reason Quebec Salmost as distinct spiritually1 om Ontario as France is fromj ,ngland.

Mason & Son Phone 681 King St. Bownianville HE PROTECTED young director of the Aima Col lege dramatic department, enter tained with the story titiec "Round Robin's Red Barn." It was a pleasing change frorr the form that the Christma luncheon meeting has taken vir. tually since the inception of tht club, with a clergyman deliverini the Yuletide message. Miss Davi. son is a clergyman's daughter and a taiented young elocutionist. Hei message was really a series oi vignettes, verbal sketches, as il were, of Christmas Eve observ- ances and the reactians of dif- ferent types and classes of peo- pie. There was the weaithy wo- man who was uiablc to tell her littie daughter what the shining star at the top of the glittering tree stood for, but drew attention to the brighter jeweis on her arm; there was the impatient husband, who saw no sentiment in the burning candie his wife desirce to take home, but rushed her in- to the car in order that he could get home to hear t 10 o'clock radio program. And then there was the humble home, with the cheap tinsei-covered star at the top of that tree and the children who had been taught and know the beautifui message it conveyed. The lesson to be drawn from Miss Davison's Christmas story 'was that. so many people have for- gotten or have neyer learned the real meaning of Christmas and stili regard it as something com- piex and have to go "round Rob- in's red barn" to learn it. The story period was preceded by a special Christmas sing-song directed by Frank M. Holcombe with Walt Peart at the piano. Songs that were sung included: '"It Came Upon the Midnight Clear," "Away In a Manger," "Jingle Beils," and "0 Little Town of Bethlehem." . Miss Davison was introduced by Dr. Perry Dobson, principal of Alma College, with the thanks re- turned by W. R. Cavanaugh, prin- cipal of the Vocational School. rNe ~PRDTECT IlS POCHETBGOH maney will go wiil depend more than ever on how carefully Cana- dians at home spend theirs this ycar. majority for the sake of Canadian unity? ýd n as ie ig cr Df it rg Resolve now to, "hold that ceil- ing in 1945." Our servicemen, as thcy return to civilian life, wîll receive clothing allowancc mustcning out pay. How f ar their the two languages is definite and deep. Moreover, that cicavage is dcepcncd by religién. Quebcc is fundamcntaliy a, Roman Catliolic province. Ontario is fundament- ally Protestant. There are, of course, a large number of Roman Catbolics in Ontario, but since thcy speak the same language as the Protestants, there is no cleav- age bctween them on that score. They understand each other per- fectly, even though they differ in matters of doctrine and church government. The Protestants, normally, are taierant and oftcn indifferent in regard to religion. They belleve in freedom, in di- versity and have an instinctive dislikc of uniformity. This is at once thein weakness and their strength. It is their weakness in the face of a united and bighly organized Roman Catholicism; it is thein strength in that with free- dom and diversity thcy have greater initiative and enterpnise in the rmaims of thaught, of busi- ness and of politics. This brings me ta the questioni of the politicai cleavage betwcen1 Quebec and Ontario, for thatE cleavage is closely linked up with1 religion. It is nat enough to sayt that Quebcc is saiidly Libenal,t wbile Ontario is largely Conserv-i ative. The people of Ontario are divided on party poiitics, and sec- tions of them are liable to vote Socialist, just to show that tbeyE have a mind of their own. The people of Qucbec, an the other hand, are just as hiable to, votet saiidly Conservative, if by so do- ing they can kecp the balance of political power. The politicalc solidarity of Quebec is basically a religiaus as well as a racial soli-c darity. The politicai diversity of Ontario voters is duc to their separation of politics fromn re- ligion and their strong democratic convictions.t Therein lies the real cleavagec between Ontario and Quebec.L And it is just there that the bitters feeling arises between the twoa provinces. Thene has always been c an avowed anti-catholiq clement e in Ontario, but its apposition ta tbc Catholic Church has been p- litical rather than religious. The b Orange Order is not affiliated s' with any anc church, but is made t up of members of variaus denam- inations. Its actions are defensive and confined to the political sphcre. There are Protestant nreacbers in Ontario who de- nouncc the Roman Catbolic Cburch and ail its works, but thein bitterest attacks are direct- ed against the political activities of the Cathoic hienarcby of Que- bec. The average Ontario Pro- cistant does not openly associate himsclf with these belligerent nti-catholics, but in private he agrecs with them. This is also bhe attitude of the Protestant hurches generally. They try to .void the appearance of bigotry, and Protestant ministers fre- quently praise the Roman Catholic Churcb from their pul- pits, and warn their people gainst intolerance. On the whole I doubt whetber tere is any deep-seated hatred :n the part of the people of Que- Dec or Ontario :owards each :ther. It must be udmitted, how- ver, that there is a subdued bit- ýrness of late toward Quebcc on tic question of Conscription, and is is not confined ta Ontario. his bitterness is not either racial )r rcligious-it is purely political. :arises out of the fact that Que- )ec bas nat contributed a fair iare of men to the averseas rces. If Quebec were to uine- ip with the rest of the Dominion )n this question of full man- )wer contribution ta the over- eas forces, the chief cause of the )resent cleavage between that )rovince and Ontario wauld be opinion generally. Democracy is not a perfect sys- tem, but that is because men are not perfect, and it therefore fils them. The minds and emotions of a free people are in a constant state of flux-af ebb and flow. In politics we cali it the "swing of the pendulum," and this makes for stcady and ardered progrcss. If you stop the pendulum swing- ing, you stop the dlock. This is a iaw of lufe and the universe, iike birth and death, night and day, summer and winter. Democracy recognizes this law of change and endeavors to con- form ta and control it by freedom of speech and the two-party sys- tem. Under that system great changes and radical reforms have been brought about by free public opinion. Within living memory we have seen the aid order chang- ing, yielding place- in a naturai. way ta the new-"lest anc good custom should corrupt the world." Speaking in the House of Com- mons same ycars ago, before the war, Winstan Churchill said that if he had ta, choose between Fascism and Cammunism he would choose Cammunism, but that it wauld be a desperate choice. A vcry good case could be made out for State Socialism, and if human nature werc not sa complex and iiabie to violent ac- tions and reactians under com- pression, either Fascism or Social- ism would be very good systems of governmcnt. But history has~ rcpeatedly shown that suçhsys- tems can only be established by revoiution and maintained by regimentation and suppression of frecdom. State Socialism is a static system, like that of the bec hive-and ane can well imagine what would happen in a bee hive if the becs were split up into political parties. Socialists scoff at the idea of maintaining what they caîl the "status quo," but under a democ- racy there is no such thing as a fixcd state of things. It is the State Socialist who is seeking to establish a status quo. He would swing the palitical pendulum over to the extreme lcft and hold it there. Willy: -I fell in a mud puddle."
