GRAND CONCERT BY ST.

The hall was well filled by a most appreciative appreciative audience. The opening chorus "On the Sea"--Dudley Buck, by the Chib was a splendid introduction to the good things that followed; Beethovens "Hymn to the Night" and "A d?.Vh|&-Woe' Donizetti, with a number* ;<»F/Sfflantation melodies and humorous selections gave splendid opportunity for the Club to present present the varied numbers with credit to themselves and honor to their Conductor, Mr. E.

Mr. Keachie has-not lost any of his old-time power to entertain and our citizens were delighted to hear him in song again. We also owe him a debt ot gratitude for bringing this excellent musical organization to our town, for it was truly one of the treats of the season, A new musical feature that charmed the audience was givep by a most capable quartette--Messrs O L; Gardner, J.

Will ye noo come back attain ? X ' Third installment of Dr. James. L. Hughes' address before Bowmanville Canadian Canadian Club on Modern Tendencies in Education: Education: The third modern aim in education is character, which, too, is developed in modern schools by operative processes. In the old days there were just two processes processes by which they trained the character of children. One was to teach the catechism catechism to them, and the other was to put restraining laws, about them. Men tried to keep childrenffrom evil, and to teach them the catechism in order to make strong characters. You 'cannot develop either power or skill or character by words alone, nor by knowledge alone. You remember the stbry about the little boy in Scotland, in the days when the minister came to catechise the children. A little red-haired boy' nine years of age was asked, "What is a lie ?" He knew the catechism thoroughly, but he did not relate relate it properly in any way, and so he answered answered as he stood on his toes, "A lie is an abomination unto the Lord and a very present help in time of trouble." You may fill the child full of words and he may not be conscious of any vital change. Modern thought in regard to character deals with the executive character. character. Modern thought knows that a man who is a really good man is not simply a man who does not do wrong. Formerly, the good boy wâs the dead boy who did nothing and therefore did not do- wrong. I am glad I never got any prizes for goodness goodness when I was at school, because goodness goodness meant deadness. The boy . who sat still and did not do anything bad was regarded regarded as the good boy. The new ideal of goodness is not negative but positive. All the training of the boys in character was until recently negative rather than positive. Solomon said: "Train up a child in the way he should go." We thought we knew a great deal better than Solomon. We trained the child in the way he should not go. That is not what Solomon said; the important words of that text are "he" and "go." In the way he should go. This" boy should not go the way that one should t go. We should keep the boy going. Do /not make a stopper out of him. The old words in training were "don't, quit/ be quiet will you." We made stoppers out of the being that God made to go on. We made donters that God created as doers. This was all wrong ! We are now taking the other way, trying to make character positive instead of negative. Take any of the elements of character. Self-control is the one that is usually taken J^as the highest element,of moral character. " The illustration of self-control given in the best book written on the subject along old lines is this: We will suppose this is a saloon, and that I used to'spend my time, and my life, and my money, and my fam- ily's money in that saloon. Now I have such superb self-control that, although it is a temptation still to go into that saloon I can walk past it like a man. Oh, that is better than going in, but think of'it for a moment. Man is a being created in the image of God, and yet self-control means merely dodging some evil, keeping away from some wrong thing! I want you to answer this Question to yourselves. Is it not true that I might keep away from the saloon and from every other form of evil that exists and yet be no more good to God or humanity than if I had been born a caterpillar. It is not the modern ideal to keep away from wrong merely; that is not true self- control, The high, broad, vital ideal of self-control is that if I have effective self- control I bavé control of my physical, intellectual intellectual and moral power, so that I can achieve the things God meant me to achieve. achieve. That is the modern ideal of self- control. Take the element of responsibility as a part of character. In the old days ministers ministers preached hundreds of sermons about my responsibility for the evil I do. Negative Negative again. The new ideal is I am responsible responsible to achieve the good I ought to achieve. ;• In the old days they taught that 'self- consciousness was an evil. The self-consciousness self-consciousness of the child was always regarded regarded as a weakness, something that ought to be got rid of. There are two kinds of self-consciousness. Self-consciousness of weakness--this is negative; and self-consciousness self-consciousness of power--that is positive. The new ideal is self-consciousness of power. Do not be worms. Be conscious of the fact that you represent a plan of God and a thought of God, and that you arc here to represent God. Lots of people yet think that they have only to pray to God and He will do things. He never promised promised to do* things that I ought to do or you either. I have no business to call myself a worm; I am God's representative. ■ Modem education regards play as one of the best agencies for developing character. character. There is Jiot a single element _ of power, physical, intellectual or moral, that a man ought to have at maturity that may not tie developed in the playground. Play [CHEAP EUROPEAN TOUR.

The develop^ ment of the moral nature on a playground is one of the fundamental values ot the playground. . . . 1 want ta speak about two or three other departments of work for developing character by operative processes. One of the most important of these is Cadel work in the school. I am sorry that we have notin Ontario taken up the Strathcona r/mXy'Mrl [ Work al thoroughly as they, have in the bther provinces of the Dominion. We do not understand it thoroughly yet; inspectors inspectors do not, and teachers do not in a great many places. The fund ,given by Lord Strathcona was $500,000 which will probably probably be increased for the purpose of providing, providing, npt prizes necessarily, but for providing providing equipment that m your different districts may be used tor the purpose ot developing the physical and other depart- - . _ > -- 171^^ Uforlr^ Ana mentsof your boÿS' and girls'work, so I urge strongly that you should take up that work. •- ! j do'not recommend cadet work merely for the training of our boys to be able to defend their country. That is not the chief reason. The chief reason is the character development of the boys. The two great ideals that I gain from Christ's teaching are: first, Thave individual power, and second, I am responsible for the use of that power for my fellows. Is there any way I can reveal more quickly to a boy the fact that he has individual power and individual responsibility than by drill ? You have all heard of the dear old Irish woman who, on seeing the regiment walk down Broadway, said: "Wèll, look at that, every one of them out of step but our Tom." -The world does not take it that way; 1 they know better. Each individual boy knows that he must do his part right. Is not that good moral training? He knows also that he must co-operate with his fellows. fellows. The whole company must work together as a unit or as a team of baseball. baseball. It must work together as a unity or else the result is not what it ought to be. And so he gets a definite recognition by experience of these two fundamental moral principles. The boys also get a recognition of the value of directive law by drill. Oh, how we have misused law to make law merely a restraining agency instead of a directive agency. Law ought to be a directive agency in forming character. There is nothing I can do so well without law, as with law. The little child learns this the first day in the kindergarten; by following the law of opposites in harmony, not laws given in words, he is able to make the form of beauty which he takes home. He might have cut with'scisSors and pasted with paste for a thousand years and never made a form of beauty if he had not learned learned the law of symmetry by this operative process. He gets a consciousness of the value of directive law. He gets a respect tor law, which is a most important element element of moral training. Respect for law, reverence for law, every child Jias it naturally. naturally. It is not true that boys do not like law. Every boy born loves law until some tyrant tyrant makes him hate law. The boy loves the law of love in the home, and he loves the laws of the game always. He never disputes that. Respect for the laws of the game ought to be developed into , reverence reverence for law in the school, and reverence for law in his country, and reverence for the laws of his own life, and away beyond that, into reverence for the laws of God. That is a natural sequence. Reverence for law is one of the great fundamental elements of national life and of moral life in training a boy to do his duty to his home and to his country. Let me say here, lest I be misunderstood, that I value all the fundamental laws of morality and life whether they are in the form of catechism catechism or in .Bible teaching. I value.all- vital things. I want every boy and girl to be related to the divine by the teaching teaching you can give, by the revelations you can give them from all moral sources, so' that every boy and girl may be conscious of the fact that they are related^ to the divine. And I hope that we will all take Froebel's definition of education: "a conscious conscious growth towards the Divine." But maxims and principles do not form executive moral'character, and executive, transforming moral character is the type of moral character valued in modern education. education. The character that counts is not character that sits still and does not do things, but the character that does things, that achieves things for God and ■ for humanity. If I can make a boy conscious of the fact that he is responsible for • his own development and that he ought to. be under directive law in all his relationships, I have given him a great start towards a high moral standing. I wish I had time to talk longer on this. I wQuld like every child in this country to be trained to love good pictures as an aid in character development. We train children in literature to a certain extent. Gre t pictures of the past reveal great thoughts of the leaders of ages as fully as literature. We should train children so that they mav become capable of looking at the 1 great pictures and seeing the things that were intended to be revealed by them. I think, too, that we ought to train the children of the country to plant things and grow things in order to influence them for good. It is a vital moral training to reveal to a boy or girl the fact that a child may help God to make the world beauti J ful. ! When I f ive a little child a seed, no larger than a pin's head, and train him to put it in the ground properly, and water it properly, and when it comes up through the ground give it the attèntion it needs until by and by it is a beautiful flower, he knows he did not make that thing grow, he knows there was some power unseen with which he was in partnership in making making it grow. -You do not heed to say God; vou should not say God; in due time he will become conscious of the fact that God and he were partners. He did the work and God guided him in doing it. In this way the child will come to a consciousness consciousness by and by.that he and God arè .partners, or should be partners, in making this world more- beautiful than it is. When he hasffielped a plant that is drooping drooping to-day so that its downhanging branches branches mav turn up and grow strong and beautiful again, he learns that he helped that life to a richer, stronger life than it could Bavé hati without him, and m due time that will bring into his/ life a consciousness consciousness of his "power to aid all life to .a j-icher, higher, grander, truer life than it ever would have beeti if he hâd not touched touched it and helped it. So through all character : processes in the school, the modern tendency is not to try to form character by mere theory, not mere book knowledge, not passing examinations, examinations, not merely commiting subjects to memory and then give them back on examination days. - That does ndt develop character, but in these operative ways, among others, we may develop the character. character.
