Minister They Are a Weak Foint in Our Bchool Systemr--More Atten- tionito Be Given to Develop- ment of Normal Schools. Toronto, Feb. 16.~0One of the most serdous defects in the of the present public school "work which provincial goverhodent x located gluring ite récent analytic examination of the whole system was found in the model schools, Bo said Hon. Dr. Pyne, minister of education, ia addressing the large and representative delegation from the Western peninsula, to urge the stron claims of Chatham to one of the pro- posed now normal schools, ent deemed necessary for the her teation and the universities," said Hon. Dr, Pyne, "and our attention has for some time been diligently di- rectod to the public schools of our rovinee. As a result we purpose to ring down very shortly--almost im. mediately, in fact--legislation that will materially affect our public schools and be, I trust, of very material ad- vantage to them, 3 "The welldre of the public school is of interest to everyone. Comparatively very dew of our young men and wom- en ever go beyond the public school, and it is our earnest aim to make it as perfect as possible, "I have found the address of this delegation to-day very gratifying be- causa they indicate to the government, out the province that its policy--even so far as it has been imperfectly fore- +hadofed and outlined--commends it- selfo the people. We hope to inau- gurate some distinctive advances, rome radical improvements. We want the people to join the government and help it in raising the teachers' salar. ies, in advancing the. standard of of- ficimey and development in the schools, "Our examination--and 1 trust & it hax been a careful and thorough one has shown us that the model schools are not what they should he That there are good model schools, we all know, but I fear they are the exeep- tion, and dependent almost wholly on exceptional principals. Show me a g20d model school in our provinee and 1 will show you an exceptionally good model school teacher, "Why this weakness in our model schools ? Largely, wo believe, because there is no universal system of con- trol. Our normal schools are not sui- ficiently nsed. Through them we must obtain the best results in the public schools, and to them wo must look. I do not mean that the model schools can at the present time be altogether done away with, but 1 Believe that tho result will be gradually attained through the development of the norm. al-la dovclopment 'which will mean much to our public schools." The minister added that the full and detailed policy of the government on publis school education was not yet quite finished. : PERSONAL MENTION.
