The conservatives, many years ago, advocated the appointment of a sup- erintendent. of education. But he was not to be a mere expert on education: al matters. His place and his power were to be those enjoyed by the min: ister of education, The cry against the Mowat govern. ment was that its minister of educa: tion' could not be non-political in his administration, and the party de manded a return to the supbrintendent of education. | Twenty odd years ago this was one of the issues in the ldeal election, and the press, while defending the depart- ment, under the' direction of Mr. Crooks, = acknowledged * that Ontario might Bave to adopt the old systom in a modified form, In time the con tention disappeared, and during regent' years it has nbt been heard in the election campaigns, Only ones was Mr. Whitney known to make rolerenice to the superintend- ent of education, and even then he was non-committal. At Charleston, in 190, he said that unless very much mistak- en the appointment of a' superintend- ent of education would betofme abgo- Tutely Wecoasary before very long. With the accession of the Whitney party to power, the reform was held ovet, Dr. Pyne, the minister of edu eation, has proven a dreamer. Ho is content with litte change. The death of his depity, however, forces action of some kind. Now it is proposed that there be a deputy, 'whe will be an office man, an administrator, 'while another, an educationist, bo chosen as an authority- on educational problems. Two names are mentioned-Mr Col fuhoun, of .ihe Toronto News, und Dr. Beath, the inspector of high schools, Both aro good 'men, and if appointed will do something, What Dy. Pyne will represent, no one can con: jectuco, If as the responsible minister he is helpless and 'harmless he is better out of office, or the office had better be abolished. The Boss And. The Press. * Dr. Boatty Nesbitt has made an ex. planation of his caso which is very re: markable to say the least of it. His health gave out--suddenly, 'His medi. A other unburpable cal friends took stock of his appear: ance and diagnosed that he was suf- fering from overwork. Something had to go. His business had to be attend ed to and so his political ambitions were sacrificed though he took his amusement out of. them and found them "the king of all the pleasures." The odd feature of all, however, was the fact that he knew nothing of the splendid office which Mr. Lindsay was opening for his benefit. The doe- tor--or the boss--did not know of the vacancy when he resigned his seat in the assembly, some say in a spirit of pique, but the one circumstance fol lowed «the other, and they fitted into ¢ach other beautifully, The appointment of the boss to a place which is worth $5,000 or 86,000 & year has been variously commented upon. The' Speftator thinks it a strange commentary upon the pro- tests of the - conservative party | against. the appointment of members of parliament to public office. The To. ronto News regards the removal of the. doctor {rom public life as a good | thing for the conservative party. Our | ontemporary remarks : [| "If the change tends to cripple the offies ority of the machine polities it will cause no. regret, ghtly or wrongly, the member { tof all the evil Totoen a party and milk the their own '| directed by Mr. a chief superintendent, in addition to 4 minister, will not do. The plan of the conservatives formerly was that J there should / be a return to the con-. ditions which prevailed in the time of Dr. Ryetion' That would Mispense with a minister. But the proposal is to re- 'tain the minister, as a figurehead, and to_have the work of the department uhoun and Pr Seath, the one as an administrator and the other as an ' expert, non-po- ditically of courds, while Dr. Pyne will pose as minister without service save something of an ornamental character. The present model schools are to go. They. . are called by the new ' men "teacher factories," and their defect is that they turn out too many young people, who work for low salaries and #0 demoralize the profession. The de- partment. plans to give a larger grant to the rural schools, to require the townships to give more, and then to demand from the teachers, for the minimum salary of 2300 or $100 a year, higher qualifications. v To this end the students, who are secking teachers' certificates, must at- tend one of the normal schools--three more of which are projected--and take the course which they prescribe. They will be permitted to * teach while yet students, however, und so make money with which to go on with their studies and obtain the desired certificates. "This "is the gist of propositions which the minister of education has laid before the inspectors, and which the Mail says is going into effect in the next session of the legislature, There must be something back of it, or out of it. There is nothing in what is foreshadowed regarding the public schools themselves, They may get bet- ter teachers--in respect of salary and certificate--but the promise was of an enlarged curriculum "and a wider uge- fulness. Upon these points the .minis- ter is mum, Editorial Notes. What is to become of Gamey now that his best friend has dropped him?
