Elliott-- He Calls For Educational Campaign--The Developing Character of Playgrounds. At this alternoon's session of the trustees départment, of the Ontario Educational Association, meeting in Toronto, J. UG. Elliott, of this city, defivered the following address, the third of a series, upon "Citizen Mak- ing, The Mission of the School': Environment 8 a potent element in character making and character enters into the citizenship we develop. En- vironment is, of course, but ope ele ment, and yet it has possibly the first place. Ideals also enter into the formation y of character and citizen- ship. What then are the environments of our boys and girls 7 What are the ideals Set before them? }f we pan make these two premises stand in the forefront in the growth of education of our rising generation we will have done much m developing a citizenship that will stand the test in every crisis. If we can school the Dominion's boys and girls in wholesome honesty, courage and fidelity and with con- sciences quick to discern the right and do it we need not fear that the ad- vancement of our homeland will be but upward and forward. Every school trustee, every teacher, every parent, should aim to surround the growing youths with all that is pure and good and true; to give thém a zest for the real and precious things of life, aspirations for the noblest. and highest, and if we can in the schools wplift for the abiding and eternal, there will follow that right living which exalteth a nation. We have the opportunity to do it in this free land ; we must strike hard to save our children for the best and purest, since the purient and vile in life, Jin character and in outlook is pressing hard upon us in these fitful times. Nover before have we, #8 Canadians, bad such forces of evil to fac, to conquer, or subdue. On every hand the insidious growth cf greed, of spoil, of commercial dishonesty, of political 'knavery is apparent. To day, and with the coming generation, must the sebd be sown, so that the con- flict to be waged against these evils will he won and brighter, happier and sweeter days will be theirs in which to wing this Dominion into the glori- ous circle of the coming nations, Trustee, are you in line ? Teacher, are you ready to sacrifice yourself for the future of the nation ? This is the time for Spartan courage give the | Me Value Of Ideals. Let me usk ¥f you have ever tried to measure or value an ideal in life. Test it in a home of wealth and ap- parent refinement. The son is dissi- pated, worthless, one in whom all hope of reform is lest. What would not the father give to have his sap enthroned in all the majesty of pure manhood 7* This concrete illustration gives the worth of an ideal, the mea- sure of the difference between that which is noble and ignoble. It is just as necessary to set before the children the ideals of truthfulness, honesty, prudence, chastity, generosity, grati- thde, temperance and industry--the best things in citized making--as it is to teach them to read or to calculate. But are these things as carefully taught as they should he ? "Po we not 400 often expect the youth to grasp moral problems, subtie and delicate, infrequent and casual mention ? We expect him to love to do the right, when we know from owr own experience that it often goes contrary to our own interests and our" own wishes ; and that the most passionate and intelligent teaching that we can give him will be needed, tefora an av: erago child will so perceive the beauty of the right that he will follow it "to his own hurt, aid change not," if the emergency so demand. It is most important that children grow up with ideals, for they are among the few permanent possessions which the world knows. If you give a child bread he will hunger again: if you give him clothes he will wear them out, but give him an ideal, and i will permeate and ennoble his whol» life. This is a world of change. A man may make plans but circumstances will change them. Ambitions are turn- ed aside by circumstances, but am ideal dominates one's life, determines his character and fixes for him a place in the commumity. Best Of Teachers Needed. What must we expect of the trus- tees ? That they realize the task be- fore them and set diligently to do it. We must have the best for our chil- dren. The best is demanded in every pursuit of life. The farmer must have the best machinery, the best stock, the best methods of husbandry: he pays well for it, for he sees profit ahead. The merchant demands the most mod- ern equipment, the most complete sys- tem for quick transportation and rea- dy sale, and the most competent help: he pays well for it, for he sees advan- tages ahead. The factory demands the brightest minds, the choicest mechan- Pm, the moet skilful workmen: the owner sees enrichment through these things. Why not, then, as trustees, soe pt the best of teachers fill our , men of worth and standing, women of acuteness, gentleness and devotion, and all zealous and alert to make the ideals and environment sur. rounding the boys and girls, the best the community can give. "The books, the games, the language, the relation- ships, 'all tending to develop that lov- ing, » true citizenship, aspir- ing ni and making the THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, -- ers, and under paging them for their wOrvives. "The only goal worth while is to have the children better than their an- cestors were, and their outlook biright- er and clearer. We are the heirs of all the ages and we should leave be- hind us, for those who come after, something just a little better than was left for us." Trustees should strike while the iron is hot. As guardians of childhood they are to make the nation of to- morrow from the children of to-day During the first few years more ean be dose to influence a child's life than can be undone in the next fifteen. In the pre-natal condition tendencies are established which it is impossible to change. Heredity can not be helped, but what of environment * What sort of surroundings have we in: the homes and schools of to-day? What is the conversation, the gossip, the .exam- ple ? What sort of bill boards, news- papers and literature do the children come in contact with ? Every citizen, every trustee, has an. interest in these things or has a right to have. The ideals of the children ate in manhood and womanhood around them. What sort of ideals are people giving their children ? -- An Educational Campaign. This is a real issue and brings me to a feature in education that has not been emphasized as it 'should. We need an educational campaign in Can- ada. The government is moving for ward, slowly, but wisely, but I be- lieve that progress could be swifter if public opinion were more quickly de- veloped. The government can help much; $10,000 jor five years would give a boom to educational progress that nothing else could de. The gov- ernment cultivates agricultural senti- ment; it develops power and energy for mechanical advancement; it lifts and moves commerce forward; why hot campaign the country for the highest moral and educational inter, ests. Pducation is a series of humsn experiences leading up to an incp¥ase of 'knowledge, power and good will, knowledge of the mind, force, ability and skill of the body, and good will of the soul. To advance the education of the people is the highest privilege as it is the most important duty of statesmnanship. Let the government have men to prehch this doctrine. The parents on the farms and in country villages have only faintly heard the stir of the government and this asso- ciation, and have hardly been moved by the great events that have thrilled the hearts of those wh# know. Yet these people, from whose homes our citizens must come, and out 'of whose pockets the meats to make them must be paid, have not as yet shown very much interest in the great movement. They must be enthused with a vision of thé needy and with a sense of per "before it can be said that sentiment proused. How can this be done? the government spending $10,000 a year, or more if need be, to carry the claims of man- hood and citizenship to them, and show that every boy and girl is need- ed of the highest type to make Can- ada a land of liberty, and honor, and integrity, ls it not worth the effort ? Need Of Moral Training. We must have moral training. The leaders in every country are impress. ed with this demand. They have be- come seized with the thought that the schools are net being as well utilized as they can be for the 'development of citizenship, hence a great internation- al organiaition is now busily en- gaged in ascertaining the best results of moral training in the schools of Britain, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, America and Japan. or I stand for Christian trainine, the development of character in the ennobling pattern set before us in God's Word. 1 am in accord with Principal Falconer, president of the university, through whose kindness we assemble here, to-day, who says: "I believe that the highest type of citizenship cannot be permanently de- veloped apart from a sense of oblira- tion to and reverence for the moral ordér which is divine"! In days past we have swung far afield. We have not made the best and noblest use of that great volume of experience, of ripe wisdom and richest statesman- ship--the Bible. 1 am not an advo- cate of its use, text hy text in the schools, but 1 am convinced that the presentation of its great thouchts, rich conceptions and telling imagery in the form eof literature! would add strength and fibre to the rising ~ene- ration. Let us hava in our readers the thrilling stories of the men of Bible times. hat more inspiring than the lessons to be drawn from God's proof-men, the faithful Abra- ham, the patient Job, the courageous Paul, the impetuous Peter, the daunt- less Elijah, the wise Solomon ? Thev would give strength and force to biographies of men of later times. There is a lamentable ignorance among the rising generation about the Bible; its quotations are now infrequently used outside the pulpit. In recard to this matter we might profitably take a hint from the motherland. What- ever else we may sav about the Eng- lish schools, says one writer, they do turn out well-behaved, 'orderly bovs and girls, respectidl to those wt over them, grounded in the morals of Christian civilisation, with an in- stinctive sense of obedience to law and a becoming regard for the an- thorities that represent it. Wonld we be any the worse off if we had more of these qualities here?

Nearly all of our minor ills could be avoided by a little candy Cascaret. Also, half of our greater ills. Isn't it foolish to suffer, when there is such a pleasant way to avoid it ? Cascarets save the hours. They save the time that we waste if we are not at our best. They bring good cheer. For the blues and ill temper rarely occur when the bowels are properly helped.
