S. 5, Darington, Gave Report of Ontario Education- al Association at Providence U. F. 0. Club. We are pleased to have the privi- lege, of presenting to oui readers a capital report of the recent convent- ion in Toronto of the Provincial Hligh and Public School Trustees Associa- tion feeling sure that it will be wide- ly read: The thirty-fifth annual convention of the Ontario liigh and Public School Trustees' Association was held in Convocation Hall, Toronto ,March 29th., Sth ., and 31st. Tuesday morning, after the dele- gates-numbering about 1500-niad registered, the meeting was called to order by President Judge J. H. Scott of Perth. The minutes of the last meeting were read by the Secretary, Rev. W. M. Morris! of Orangeville, and was confirmed., Then followed the ap- pointment of the Nominating, Press Correspondence, and Resolution Comn- mittees, The Secretary-Treasurer presented his report wiiich was fol- low by the report of the Commttee on Reorganîzation by Lawvyei W. S. Ormiston, LL. B., Uxbridge, formerly of Bownianville. lie first read his report through then re-read clause by clause while the association adopt- ed or amended them. The clause in hîs repîort that caused considerable discusion was "The Change of the name of the Association" to "Trust- ees' and 14tepiayers' Association". However, it was finally carried. The afternoon session opened with the President's address. lHe began by statîng that there should be close co-operation between school and home, tLhat theý attitude of the home is responsible for many failures in school. Too many young chldren in this age conduct themselves with- out parental restraint. The cigar- ette habit, increase in truancy and crime are ail due to laxity of ho me discipline-lack of parental trainiug In order to reach the public -we have a plan of organizing locally- every district but withont aid pro- gress cannot be made. The large unir.ber of trustees present is due to the untiring energy of the Secret- ary-Treasurer. lie is a genins on organization and is very enthusiastic la his work. lie snrveyed half of this province. We hope the legisla- ture will snpply the minister with means to cover the rest of the terri- tory. One-third of a century ago the pride of oui province held us as a model in othier provinces but we have fallen . Memnbers of the board were able to examine the children as well as the teacher. Iu those days en- eigy was the esseutial subi ect and the child built bis own superstructure. The primary scbools are broadening out, more subi ects are taught, more homework is given, no solid forma- tion is made and the children only get a mere smattering of their work. Primary schools are not turning out boys as well equipped as tbey former- ly dîd. The three R's are not given first place or emphasâsed sufficieutly. Teachiug has degenerated from a tîme-honoured profession to a com- mercial enterprise. There is no sta- bility in the teachers' remuneration. It ought to be considered a contract. There should be a fixity about the termis, strictly adbered to. The Agreement should be 'in writing and a, new modell form of contract ap- proved by the Minister of Education shonld be issued. A teacher shonld not be released or dismissed except at the three periods because the work is consequently set back by resig- nation in the middle of a termi. The speaker concluded his address by saying "I invite. your serions co- operation to remedy the defects. Establish your scbool on a rock-bed of efficiency. This Tnesday afteruoon being set apart for discussion of Rural prob- lems, Mr. A. A. Jordan Inspector of Public Scbools iu East York former- ly of Port Hope, gave an inspiring lecture on one of the greatest of our Rural Problems - "Cousolîdated Schools". ln openiug lhe dretw our attention to the time of Upper Canada. "Even then", he said, "there were struggles la Education". The Cause of Comn- mon Education was retarded by thel tilling of the land, the attitude of the radical politicans, and leader of the churcb not'believiug that Education was meaut for the Common people. Their narrowness of -visin peee 1902 and to-day has over one han-I dred consolidated schlools.

Ontario has ouly two NE, NEADS SOffie:, King St. Phone 48 (Premirises fOrmer]Y occupied by late T. N. Rickard) sncb schools. Under certain condit- ions it'is a good thing but it is not the best solution everywhere althdugh, it may be cousidered as one. The Goverument pays the large grant of $9000 for %he building, $3000 bonus if begun before the end of 1922. If an Auditorium is added $2000 more, makin.g a total stum of $14,000. iu addition $100 to, encl teacher on the staff and $1000 to- wards eqaipment. Is the system now perfectly com- plete? Did our forefathers expect ns to stand still. Eighity-five years ago the small school-secti.on remaineéd the same. Only one teacher while education became more complex. The curriculum was enlarged and still the smail school witha one teacher remained, sickle, cradie, oxcart and log barns have passed away politically and commercially people have broad- ened ont but the school section re- mains -where it was. Is it in the general interests of the people? Why inadequate? Now,ý there are from thirteen te fifteen subjects ou the curriculum and no teacher no mat- ter how skilfnl can teach s0 many. Iu this way we cannot -give the children higher education lin the country, but'ail the children ini the country are entîtled to it. Thus it is necessary to go to, city and town but the children leave home rural- minded and come back urban- inded. Is not this a moral loàss?
