A VERSE TO MEMORIZE Abolish Forever the Little Red Schoolhouse One Public School Inspector, at least, falls in with our suggestion last week in The Editor Talks' columns about spending spending that $195,000 for agricultural education. education. The country schools should have a large share of it in some form or other of a practical character, for the little red schoolhouse, he thinks, must go. Here is an . extract 'from the inspector's letter which refers 1 more particularly to that part of our article, about centralized schools, about which he seems to be more enthusiastic" even than we are, for we real- that much information about such ize schools is necessary before one can institute institute a really safe comparison with the present rurâl school in every section: _ "I was pleased to see your splendid ar- tide on the Rural School problem in this week's issue of The STATESMAN. It is excellent in every way and if I understand things aright it will be quoted in many papers. I am pretty well acquainted with the work and know of no other plan of modernizing the rural schools You just keep right on developing the principle and the country people will soon come to see the problem in the light that you do. To my mind Rowell is missing one of the grandest opportunities of his life for this plan is something worth while. The plan i is sound jn every way aiid unanswerable. I What ah immense saving there would be : in, the cost of inspection l . One inspector would be able to do the work of five, at least, affecting a saving of $10,000. Then the cost of Model SchooIs and such like would be wiped out altogether. What a big saving here I There would be a saving saving in Normal Schools if it is the intention intention of the Department to erect more. Am I not à ■self-sacrificing man ? But we must look at the general good. Things are wrong. The old system has served its day and generation and must give way, as you remark, to something worth, while. The school garden problem, etc., is somewhat somewhat of a farce under the present school system, - There is bound, to be a great awakening and you will come in for no small share ôf the praise for having brought it about.

At the same time, he should grasp the cramped muscle, knead it and rub it.
