' { The principal trouble with our system now, in the opinion of Dr. Putnam, is that our administration is largely as Ryerson left it. "It is clumsy, inefficient and out of date," he said. "It lacks unity and sim- plicity. We have too much of it, Favors County Boards. "The small school section," sald the prominent inspector; "must go.

Dr. Putnam was asked. Encourage Independent Effort. "The chief changes in teaching methods during 'the past 25 years in elementary schools," he replied, "have been: (1) Less dependence on textbooks and more independent effort on the part of the pupil. (2) A wider range of reading, material by the Introduction of much sup- plementary reading material. (3) A less formal type of school recita- 'tion, through the' introduction of the socialized recitation where chil- dren ask and answer questions in turn. (4) Greater emphasis upon organized play as a means of train- ing in self-control, team-work and initiative. "Personally, I think the township school bill would improve the On- tarid school system.

The petty localization would be eliminated, and the expenditure would be more equalized and more wisely made." "My own opinion is that what this province needs is not 80 much the bringing of the university to the country, as Premier Ferguson pro- poses; by having the first year work of the university done in the high schools for the pass courses, but the taking of the high schools fo the rural centre.
