Shain ty a THE DRYDEN 0 BSERVER "CHARLEY'S AUNT'S" COUSIN Coming Based upon a hilarious French farce, Al * Christie's latest comedy "Madam Be- have," which comes to the STRAND Theatre for two days beginning next Friday is said to be a worthy "cousin to Charley's Aunt," which scored so heavily at that poopular theatre some time ago. Although quite differemt in episodes from Charley's Aunt the new comedy presents Julian Eltinge, the hero, in a wild scramble in feminine clothes. Christie lined up a great cast for this picture which also includes Ann Pennington, the Follies star; Lion- el Belmore, who plays the erratic old Frenchman who tries to marry "Mad- am Behave" in order to stop her pend- ing action for breach of promise; Jack Duffy, as an eccentric old man, David James, Tom Wilson, Stanhope, Wheat- croft, Evelyn Francisco and others.

Pronger (Cont'd. from page Ore) of citizenship. No child who receives merely an elimentary school training is adequately prepared for his duties as a citizen... He finishes the element- ary school just when his reasoning powers are beginning to develop and when ideals of conduct are beginning to shape his action. To give him no further schooling is to deprive him of a great opportunity for the development of that keen intelligence an those worth ideas of life to which are the marks of a good citizen. The city boy is receiving this training in citizen- ship in the high school, the rural pupil should not be left to lag behind in this respect. He has no less capacity for civie service and opportunity to develop this capacity If denied this the time will surely com when the farmer will be at a disadvant- age in comparison with the city dwel- lers in the council of his country, which it will be admitted would be an fortunate circu aT ment of our national life. un- the develep- How is this secondary education for rural pupils to be provided At the present time, rural imunities are almost dependent upon urban centres for a higher education for their children tut unless transportation is readily available, then it means bozrding in che town at considerable cost to the parents, and fer the great majority of rural children this means that a h'gh -chool edmeation is out of the question. con JEven for these country-bred children that do attend the town school, the. courses offered there are those interested for the prepara- ion of an academic or business career. For the rural pupil who is better fitted or such vocation, these courses may se quite satisfactory, but for the boy vho intends to make farming his lifes ork, then such an education does not .dequately meet his needs. What is equired in this case is a special type if school which offers instructions in aose sciences which are fundamental o agriculture, and in those activities vhich will be uf special value to him :s a farmer. This high school education for rural pupils need not always be provided in ¢ full-time schools alone. In fact a full- i time course is not feasable for every rural child, owing to scarcity of farin help, the services of many children are required to help at home after they have completed the elementary school course, especially during the busy sea- son on the farm. For these children there should be established part-time courses during the slack season of the vear. Forty of fifty years ago, it was the custom for the older boys and girls just past ordinary school age to attend the rural schools during the winter. These pupils received assistance in those branches which they felt would be of particular use to them in later life. They often worked away by themselves with the minimum of direc- tion of the teacher and made remark- able progress in spite of such handi- caps. For some reason this fashion of going to school during the winter has died out among the young men and wo- men of today. These part-time courses ought to be revived on a more com- prehensive and permanent basis. To secure better facilities than are at present provided for the kind of educa- tion suited to life on the farm these are two alternative methods, either consolidation or reorganization on a more comphrensive plan. Consolida- tion can be dismissed as not meeting ' Style- @ uality- erfo Jor Economical Transportation ! with the approval of the majority, School Boards | should have no less! ia {nor is it universally practicable. | The re-organization of existing i schools presents a simple case. The schools can be so arranged as to have an attendance sufficiently large to do efficient work. The pupils can be g'ven instructions in special subjects, such as manual training, science, ete. The regular teacher might be supplemented «teachers who have special qualifica- tions, and who would go from school to school giving instruct'ons in other 'special departments, and part-time courses specially suited to the needs of the pupils who cannot attend ful: time can be instructed at strategic (points. The necessary machinery fo {the reorganization has been provided {by various clauses in the School Acts. : They have been on the statute book: I many vears, but these provisions have lom been put into operation for lack tof co-operation among school section: jon a more or less extensive scale. The substitutin of the townships fo: e section as the nit of school ad istration would make it possible tc 'ganize existing rural schools ir h a way as to place them on th 1e plan of efficiéney and usefulnes: as the urban schools. Th's is the mair purpose that has prompted the intro duction in the Legislature of the Bil to establish Township Boards for Rura Schools. A township board having the uniter resources of the township at its bac! would be able to provide not only th elementary education at present giver in the rural schools, but also any 0 all of three other educational service: It would be able to give special wos: in manual training, household science, and agriculture through a system of itinerant teachers. It would also be able to provide high schools which, in addition to a general education, would give instruction in those branches that are of special value to pupils who in- tend to be farmers. Still further it would be able to institute part-time not able to take advantage of a full- time course. If an organization of this type were set up the Department of Education would be in a position to assist the townships in a financial way. The provision is already made in the Voca- tional Education Act, and it only re- mains for the townships to meet the requirements in order .to secure gener- ous financial assistance. Under the present arrangements the Department would pay in grants fifty per cent of the cost of equipment for Vocational purposes and a graded percentage run- ning as high as seventy-five per cent 'of the salaries of vocational teachers. If new buildings were required the Department would pay fifty per cent-of the cost of a building donated ex- clusively to vocational work, or fifty per cent of the cost of that part of a high school used for vocational work. i However, no extensive building pro- gramme would be necessary; it is quite probable that existing buildings could in many cases be utilized. It is not expected of course that these things would be all done at once. It would probably be many years be- fore everything would be fully es- tablished. The important thing is that the setting up of a layer unit of administration would make these im- provements possible. When they are made possible, we may confidently look to the future for their gradual realiza- tion.
