(,I> Tita3 I centres e eîhia t.)i choa (d)~~~~~a ent-epvose h mnapi abel teotai-lif lu btaSupport of scheme, anid, had the Goverumont accepted it and appointeci a commis- sion to maka the necessary inquiry and obtain the necessarv information, "omething practical mJght be the re- suit in th(, immediote future. 1 can- flot help thîniking, Sir, that if this Government a accepted this sug- g,ation and had sent a commission out to ascertain al tac;ts pertaining to ther technical and industriel con- ditions of this- provinceý, the informa- tion thus obtained7 wou-ld have fitted in wîth and would have, been supple- mental to any information that the report of the Dominion Government oommission may contain. The latter commission does well in ascertaining industrial and iabor conditions here and elsewhere flot oniy ini this coun- try but soveral other countries; but wo, Sir, priding ourselves on being the banner province of the Dominion, m ,ight weil have icted upon our ewn initiative, and aïrs --uit of con- current work ascertained more min- utely the requiroîerfnts of this par, ticular province. Then, Sir, -Ne conid have avaiIed ouseve of the werk of the- oino commission and at the same time have had the question fromn an internai, standpoint deait more, exhaustively with by our own commission. As an incidentai advantoge, the educationai effeot of a proporiy selected commission mov- ing from town to town and city te city throughout the province wouid have been distinctly f oit and wouid have donc very mucli towards crystal- iizing the views et municipal officers, boards of trade, boards of educationi, and employers of- labor on titis ex- tremely important question. Contrast With Germ any. There- h a marked difierence ho- tween our- educationai systema and that of other, countries which have given the question of industriai edu- cation serions consideraton. Perhaps in this prov ince, considering we are a young country, the school of cul- ture has too mnch predominated. The marked distinction betwaen our scitool systema and that of Germany, for exampie, is, that our continua- lied classes are stili ontirely sehelas- tic, whereas Germany says to hier children: "I will give you an education sut- ficient for ordîna.ry ut e up to the end of your common scheol course. Atter that yen must begin te think of this as a practical world, and I, the state, will assist you in a practicai way, se that yen may earn an honest living."! The resuit is that continuation casses in Germany'býecome continua- tion industriai scitools. 0f these there are some 2,2W0, attended by 350,000 pupîls. Aftr a twe-year's course in these industrial sehools the yenng man speciaiizes and attends higher teclinicai schools and insti- tutes., We believe it is the duty of the state te give to thé chiid et the state such education as' may hereafter make irthte best citizen of the state. It hecomes a vory grave and impertant question whether this province might net, whether this province onght net, te give such practicai assistance as wiil eanabie the. yonth of the province the better and easier te make a livei!ihooýd. My contention is, Sir, that we ought te estabiisha in every industrial centre an "evening industrial school" te snp- plement the wvork of the workshop. These schoois onght te be ef snuch a general character as te reach ont le ail the lads in the workshops, and ought net te be confined to tho9se who are tortunate enough te reach a higli schooi or colieglate institute statiis. It is a matter of extrome regret that this Government has net taken more active stops, that it has net put itself in, a position te take more active stops than lb has donc, and that the speech fromite throne mereiy says: "That the necessity is becoming iore obvions day by day for a sys- tom et tochnicai and industrial edu- cation." Provincial Aid for Schoets. Lnst year, Sir, 1 produced figures te show what te province is doing by way et aiding in te education ef ce*rtain classes cf p ole I thon made cloar te tact that the provin- cial grants te public and ýseparate scools a-mount annuaily le $ 1.38 for each pupil atlending the sairne; the grants te, high schools and coliegiate înstitutes to $4.66 per pupil; the grants te noxvial1 and model schools ornounit te $112.43 per pupil; tbe grants te Toronto 'University $12636 per pupil. It la difficuit te figure exactly whabVthe -average grant te agrîcuibural colleges per, pupil is, a]though sorne substantial aid is given; but, Sir, when we corne te a very deservîng ciass, tite industrial school class, a f ar different story is told. Titis province pracically says te the lad frein thirteen te sevonteca y--r etage-h-Isl, roroÎ.ie cbdAng what it should do for the large ,xmuber of Young mon and Young wxmen we find in ail our industrial Thé Hydr-o.Electrie Problem. Sir, 1 ones tankiy that I have net as mit iconfidence in bite suc- ce-saful woikiot cf tLia sale--e aa bias, apparently, te tramer cf the speech f rom te trone. Titere lias been aiready se much miscor'dnct and mismanagement on thte port ô£ the -commission as net te justify thee higit"st hopes with referenco teute future. Last year wo criticized at lengt the, inequitable and ufi woy in which the cmiso ban ed their easements. We e aise heretofore deait witite vabsoclubeiy tyrannical leg,,isiabienl whereby the tces taken in fourteen municipalities upon one question ware made te do service for on entireiy ditierent seitome. Il will ho recalled titat by- laws were snbmitted in some fitteen munîcipalities in Western Ontario; the question thon submitted te tite ratepayer was, witethor he was will-' ing te pay a certain fixed figure for power delîvered by the commission at the goteofe his town or city. The ratepayar in thot case wos net cailed upon te uake any inquiry, asa tette original ecsta, er as te te cost of transmnission, but had enly te decide the vory s:mrle question whetiter power delivered at- the door ot bis înunicipaiity et a certain pricn was cheap power or net. That called for ne investigation whatevPr upon tite part of the ralepayers, oad these by- lawswere carried in some fift-eon mnunicipalities. Then, the Goverin- ment entirely cta-nged its scheînIe and înstead et deiivering, ataceti figure, power at -thte gales ttt municipalities in queston, il ofered te soul power te the municipalities at Niagara at a certain price an d te compel the municipalities le stand the cost et building and maîintaining transmission uines, etc., let t hat cost ho what lb migitt. Thtis w as anon- tirely different sciteme. Our view thon was titat -when the Government suad tbe cenrussion oîîtirely charged ils scheme, the new scheme should have been snbmitted le the mueici- palities and lte ratopay ors givon ilite opporlunity et saying whether they voted vea or Pay on this new sciteme. Titis tite Governm. nt ahsolutely ro- fusod them, aud the vote titat was given for ene proposition was taken as a test for an entirely dfferent eue, sud legisiation was passed as titougit titey had voted and tavored te preseni sciteme. Our contention thon was, and n.ow is, that te pe<ople sitouid havte been trusted and the present scitene sitonid have been snb- înilted te te peopleeofthlie munici- palities fer titoir. approval -or disap- provai. There la anotiter phase eft tiis ques- tien deserving sortons consideratien, as te motter is heing at present worked out, the credit et the whole province is piedgod for the benefit et a tew -municipalities lu ordor that citeap power, may ho obtaîued for tese munîcipalities. The abseluto unfairness of this'plan is botter seen if we take specifie ilinstrati-ors et how it works out, Fer exampie, Brac- bridge thte otiter day heid a banquet as a, resuit oethbie successiul, opouing ef toeir power' seheme. What did Bracebridge requiro te do? Brace- bridge was requiredte subinit its sciteme te lte Ontario Railway and Municipal Board, o creature eofte Goverumonl, and witen their sciteme itad been approved ot by the Muni- cipal Board, Bracehridge was obliged t el si is own debeeures. They soid ab 98 1-2, bearing, I thinit, 4 1-2 par cent. intorest. Now, coutrast tbis method of procedure towards oh- taining citeap power as, lot us say, between Brac ehridge and Welland. The province as a witole, Bracebridge iaciuded, is cemy)eiled te furnish cheap money and cheap power for Welland, but in lnrn te province as a witole, including Welland, dees net ondorse Bracebridge, and doos net ossist Braceitridge in obbaiuing citoap power. Thte resuit is that Brace- bridge loses $1.50 per hundrad on the sale et its debentures and pays 4 1-2 per cent. intereot, wb-ereas Welland loses -nobhing on te sale, ond goba ils meney at about 3 1-2 per cent. There can ho but one resuit oet tiis whole, scitome if successtul; namely, titat lb wili induce inbending manu- facturers te locato in te Nýagara Peninsula rather thon in tte different me'wis and ecies trougitout te province. Nay, Sir, il may' go se for as te ob akway facteries aliready existing lu other towns and change tem te near te Falls. 1Iebave il wibh tee Goverument te say whetber as repros"enting te witele province titey Ihîit ksncb a sciteme is fair and equitblhe te te witole province. And tiiis raises bite furtiter question whether a uniforni fiat rate would net ha more equitabie even wibhin the elerie zone.
