SPLENDID ADDRESSES AT NEMORIL ML At the Wednesday Evening | - Session of the Urban Trus- tees' Convention. | | "Our sympathy should go outyto { the boys and girls of this jazz age," | remarked the Hon. Rev. Canon H. J. | Cody, former minister of education for Ontario, addressing the session of the Urban Trustees' Association, in Memorial all on Wednesday evening. "I will say that in our day the temptations to waste time after school hours were not so many as nowadays. There were not so many 'movies,' and not so many parties. For many. to-day the home is only a place where the inmates sleep. The home as a centre has suffered." Canon Cody delivered a most in- spiring address, dealing with some of the facters that make up a suc- cesgful school. It was very easy to make mistakes. The erection of a fine school was not the essential ele- ment in the succesq of a school. The | quality of the teacly:r was an import- ant matter. All over Ontario we had splendid schools and this called for | sacrifice on the part of the taxpayers. Expenditure on the erection of new ( schools should be curtailed as far as 1 | | possible. Speaking about home work, the | speaker said that there need not be too much homework, but he felt that | with a reasonable amount the boys and gjrls would be happier and more | usefully employed than {in the | 'movies.' | Another element that entered into | the success of a school is diligent scholars. 4And there was also need | for intelligent and progressive trus- | tees. It would be impossible to pay { sufficient tribute to the public ser- | vice rendered by members of boards | of education and trustee boards. The speaker declared that the pub- | ic should be interested in the work | of the schools. "The more we can | Interest the public," he added, 'the easier it is to get the money. There- fore I believe that one of our great- est needs is for a sort: of education mission on behalf of education, Some say why should we go on, let us fall back. Don't let us fall back. The greatest asset we have are the boys and the girls. "We need to interest the public. It is for the representatives of the electors to hold high the torch of high learning Never let it fall." Canon Cody stated that a most im- portant factor was to have teachers of intelligence, character and per- sonal force. It would be far better to boast of the finest teachers than the finest school buildings. The greatest task for the teachers is to keep alive in their work. '""Teach the pupils to fear God, love thelr coun- try, to work hard, tell the truth, to think of the other fellow, to play for the team not for one's self." Vocational Education. splendid address on "Vocational Edu- cation," in which He declared that vocational éfldcation was nothing more nor less than a place for the education of all children of all the people. And this was the speaker's opinion of democracy. He felt that there had been a great deal of mis- understanding In vocational educa- tion. Some regardeq it as 'fads and frills," but it was as old as civiliza- tion. The soul's needs should be met with trained men. Vocational education was not in competition with general education but simply an attempt to supplement general edu- cation. Some held that it was too expensive. There was just one ans- wer to this and that is: "How is democracy to live if we do not train the children?" We thought we could Corns Never Use a Knife! ee oe a wv Blas lay tl the pain i .

The speaker declared that big in- terests should be interested in {& It was a business that had been left too much to the schoolmasters, "It is the business of industry as well as the school masters to see to it that the education for all the chil- dren of all the people is properly or- | ganized. I do not see how big busi- ness can survive unless time is given to this matter. "We are living in a jazz period. Perhaps the boys and gitig are a little | too speedy. My opinion ig that the | boys and girls of to-day are living in | a different age than most of us here | to-night were brought up in. They | may be 'geared up' but as I reflect on my boyhood days, I remember some youthful 'flappers' who annoy- ed the older generation. Every gen- eration 'flapped' in its own way. We | have the best boys and girls. I am not so much concerned over the young 'flappers' as the older ones. I am pleading for a real, honest-to- goodness education for democracy's sake--for what the boys fought in the great war." Other Addresses Given. J. G. Elliott, dean of the Kingston Board of Education, presided at the opening of the meeting, which was very largely attended, nearly every seat in the hall being occupied. Among those who occupied seats on the platform in addition to the speak- ers were Bishop Bidwell, Canon J. W. Jones, F. W, Merchant, Major-Gen- eral Sir Archibald Macdonnell, In- spector J. Russell Stuart, J. B. Cooke, chairman of the Kingston Board of Education, Archdeacon Dobbs, W. M. Campbell. Mr. Elliott called upon Rev. J. W. Stephen, pastor of St. Andrew's church, to offer prayer and afterwards introduced F. B. Edmunds, Toronto, president of the Urban Trustees' As- 'sdclation. He stated that Mr. Ed- munds had a wide experience in edu- cational matters and had accomplish- ed a great deal for the cause, The trustees greatly appreciated the work he is rendering. ' Mr. Edmunds expressed the ap- preciation of the delegates to the con- vention to the local Board of Educa- tion. "You people here-hardly realize what a wonderful Board of Education you. have," said Mr. Edmunds. "In numbers the board here exceeds that of any board in Ontario, while in quality words fail me to say just how great they are." (Applause.) The speaker then went on to tell of the kind hospitality shown the delegates in the city. Everyone was made to feel at home and the dele- gates greatly appreciated the many kindnesses shown them. Mr. Edmunds said that he wished to thank all the local members of the Board of Education, but remark- ed thag he would be "extremely un- Just" if he did not make special re- ference to J. G. Elliott, chairman of the local committee in charge of the convention. "Mr. Elliott is' known from one end of the province to the other as a regular educational fiend," said Mr. Edmunds amidst much applause. "His interest in education is so great that when he gets started he never lets up. He worked early and late in the first place to bring this conven- | tion to Kingston and then he worked | to make it a splendid success." (Ap- plause.) - ' Mr. Edmunds took occasion to re- mark that these were days of high living, speed and jazz. We now had autps, radios, and everything to hurry up things It was strange how the lovers of jazz were increasing, but he felt that we should settle down on the question of education. In taking up our tasks for the boys and girls it should be for the better- ment of the future of our nation. It we falled to give the boys and girls what they need, the result would be tragic. There was no sacrifice too great for the boys and girls. Following the chief addresses of the evening, H. C. Nickle was called upon, and in a very imteresting ad- dress described the memorial win- dows In the hall for the benefit of the delegates and this part of the programme was greatly appreciated. In addition to the address there was an exceptionally fine programme of music rendered, including solos by Miss Jean Chown and Dr. Harold Angrove, Harry Hill, musical in- structor in the public schools, acted as accompanist. Miss Chown render- ed several numbers in a most charm- ing manner and was greeted with ' fo specialists in kindergarten and prim. ary work, with the result that the scholars get the benefit. At the close of her address, the members express- ed in the loudest of terms, their ap- preciation of the splendid paper, and recommended that the executive have copies printed to circulate through- out Ontario. | R. O. Small, who for many years | has been identified with vocational educational training in the State of | Massachusetts, told of the great work | which has resulted through the in- | troducing of such schools in that | part of the é¢ountry. He is an ex-| ceptionally fine speaker and kept his | audience interested for over an hour, | He has the gift of weaving interest- ing stories of personal experiences of his own in with his talk, which makes him a fascinating speaker. Mr. Small said that he was fully convine- ed that co-operative part-time voca- | tional! schools where eompulsory at- | tendance would be necessary, would | be of benefit to the community. He dealt particularly with many boys and girls who are not cut out, as it | were, for the general education which is being taught in the public and high schools of the land, but want a part time vocational education, which means that they will become better | citizens. Mr. Small advised his hear- | ers to hold on to what they have in. the form of a general education, and said he wanted to make himself clear that his talk was not an attack on the general educational (system, but he was fully convinced that the boy and girl in eighty or ninety per cent. of instances was demanding voca- tional training. Mr. Small told of the United Shoe Corporation of which he was form- erly on the staff, holding vocational classes, with the result that their employees were more efficient. He spoke many instances where voca- tional classes were run when the em- ployees would spend one week in the shop and the next week in school. Mr. Small's closing remarks were to the 'effect that we must be concern- ed with the boys who are to be our future citizens, and the part time vo. cational school is performing a great service. . Dr. G. Elmore Reaman, Toronto, director of studies at the Y. M. C. A presented' the work of the night schools and justified their existence by the throngs attending them. A great body of men were anxious for éducation in many instances denied them in earlier life. His address was greatly appreciated as it opened up new views on this valued work. The Delegates.
