Nominating Committee appoint- ed included Mrs. Austin Wood, Mrs. A. Prout and Walter Rick- ard. Mr. W. Rickard was chairman for the program which included selections by Rhythm Band, con- ducted by Bille Cox, accom- panied by Ruth Bragg; recitation by Arlene Cox; vocal duet by Mrs. O. Bragg and Mrs. Austin Wood accompanied by Ryit h Bragg. This was followed by a summary by Mrs. O. Bragg of higliliglits ai the O.E.A. conven- tion. Mrs. Bragg feit the generai theme was ta advance educatian aiang lines ieading to good citi- zenship and that ta this end re- ligiaus education in schools was a necessary movement. It is realiy necessary now when fathers are overseas and mothers are in war work. Premier Drew said, among ather things, "Our real victory wiil be on the home front. We must fight cvii at home." It is generaiiy conceded that there are more delinquent par- ents than delinquent chldren. The n9w worid will have to begin at Grade I. Nazi doctrines must be combatted only by impressing school children with democratic ideas and ideals. Much emphasis was placed up- on the importance and advantagcs af larger school units under trus- tee boards for townships. It is contended these iead ta unity in effort, uniformity in administra- tion and efficiency. The town- ship board also tends ta equality ai teaching opportunity, increase af facilities and equipment makes thema availabie ta the greatest number. It is càntended churcli and schaol are naw too far apart in Protestant communities. Schools shouid be used more during holi- days. Nothing should be donc far a child that he can do for himself. Mr. Rickard voiced the appre- ciatian o! ail for Mrs. Bragg's repart. He called upon Rhythm Band No. 2, led by Earl Brown. The address *o! the evening was delivercd by Rev. J. E. Griffith who made a most earnest and eniightening appeal ta the minds and hearts o! ail present ta con- sider education, not in the light afi nformation imparted so much, but in the liglit of character building, under the heading of "Larger Educatian," as was stressed at O.E.A. Wc might be led ta realize cdu- cation is a fuli-time job. Wc must sec that larger education is f rom 4 p.m. to 9 a.m. and the lesser is from 9 a.m. ta 4 p.m. Children are rcceiving lessons in gaod or evil in ail their waking hours. It is up ta aduits ta sec that these impressions are such as will de- vciop such characters as will lead ta gaad citîzenship. To this end evcry citizen shouid be aware and use ail influence ta sec that the radio and the mavies are util- ized and sa controlied that their powerfui influence is switched ta right lines and their cvii ten- dencies curtailed thraugh active and enlightenled legisiation, if nced be. Ai ter ail the three great foundations ai lufe, the home, the schooi and the church, are basic and only as anc and ahl arc func- tianing properiy sa wili the citi- zens ai to-morrow be gaod or bad, useful or a hinderance, ta the progrcss of the nation. We are beginning ta sec the neccssity ai religiaus education in schoals for Ontario. Especially is this truc to-day when in a higli schaol a very small percentage ai first year students attend ither church or Sunday school. We are putting religiaus education in schools but it is up ta parents ta sec that their children get what they should get in the home. Caming down ta the final an- alysis there is anc influence which will make Canada wliat she shouid be and that is a recogni- tion ai God in the daiiy lives and the home lufe o! every citizen.
