Reynolds dealt with these ques- tions at the celebration of the Semi-Centennial of the Agricultural College, Guelph. The ident told of the establishment of Agricultural Colleges not only in Ontario, but in 8ix ther | Provinces of Canada, and, ou the, Alterta system experimen arms es 8 e Federal Government. He asked what has all this organization, all this expenditure of public money, all this work of trained men through so many years, accomplished for the Fmprovement of agri- culture? And since it is public money that been expended, how has the public welfare been advanced thereby? In answer he refers to the statement in the Canada Year Book of 1922-23 Marquis wheat. "In the year 1923 about 360,000,000 bushels of Marquis wheat, a variety produced at; the Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa, were produced in Canada." If the increase in yield per acre as a result of sowing this improved variety is five per cent--an estimate probably below the actual returns--the addition to the wealth of Can- ada in that one year would amount to 18,000,000 enough to pay for all public agricultural services, including Agricultural Colleges, in the whole on. . A similar estimate is given for the Province of Ontario by Dr. Zavitz, periments at the Ontario "It is generally recognized that the tendency of a comparatively new country like Ontario is grad- ually to diminish in fertility of the soil, unless fertilizers are purchased and applied: I heard the statement made on the platform some eigh- or twenty years ago that the average yiél ot The actools of the land | the child a the A NEW CURRICULUM WILL FIT NEEDS A return to the "three R's" and to other subjects equally well established, is the plan which Premier Ferguson, as Minister of Education, enter- tains for the curriculum of On- tario's elementary schools. For- mal notification of such a re- vision--which has been inti- mated since the Government's accession to office--is contained! in the Premier's first annual re- port for the Education Depart- ment, copies of which were made available recently at the Parlia- ment Buildings Elaboration of his plan was later given by the Premier in conversation. The aim of the new policy, ac- cording to the Premier's state- ment, is to make Ontario's edu- cation system more adaptable to local conditions, and, therefore, more practical to the child. With this in view the present curri- culum is being divided into two sections, the basic and the sup- plementary. In the first cate- . | gory, which all children will be required to learn; are kept, reading, writing, arithmetic, composition, geography, history and spelling--in short, the sub- jects necessary to any well con- ceived curriculum which the | of farm grad diminish-}¢hildren will select, agriculture, by Throug] Ontario was 2 -{maual training, domestic science --in short, those subjects which are supplementary to the routine in na and which, for their successful study, depends to ¢ effect of the changed cur- m will be to give it a flexi- bility suitable to Ontario con- ditions, iculture is being ps | included in the curriculum for the first time and is calculated as pe The cy ¢ : - 1 A of educating » | atten sults which it shall achieve. The announcement of the changed curriculum is the high light in a report of unusual in- terest which the Premier pre- sents for the Education revival of Winter courses in rural parts is strongly recommended. The statistics which set forth the present condition of the ele- mentary schools are impressive. Appended to are for the calendar year 1922, and indicate advances over the previous year in every essential respect, such as attend- ance, more highly qualified teachers, salaries paid, and the value of school property. The size of the elementary school system is indicated by the fact that there are close upon 7,000 school houses of this class and that the enrolled attendance is over 601.000. The value of the property controlled by school boards for this kind of instruc- tion--that is sites, buildings and furniture--exceeds $77,000,000 and the increase over the pre- vious year is more than $8,500,- 000, a proof that a very exten- sive building program has been in progress. The enrolled attend- ance in rural schools has in- creased from 235,000 to 241,000. The number of teachers with higher certificates grows, but the number of men in the pro- fession, while increasing, shows no substantial movement. There were in all 1740 male teachers, or 11 per cent. of the whole. The amount paid in teachers' salaries was $16,690,000. The average salary to male teachers taking both urban and rural schools together was $1,644, while that to female teachers was $1,117. In rural schools which are chiefly taught by women, the average salary was $1,144 for male and $987 for females, There are now over 10,000 with second class certifi- cates-in tary schools and the number with third class certificates has dwindled .to 1,190. The cost of elementary education in 1922 was $31,900, 000 of 358 per pupil enrolled in ANNUAL Y from far and near, and the strengthening of family ties which are a dear and sacred trust passed on from generation to generation. In the early thirties and forties four brothers and six sisters of the Werry family with wives," husbands and children, settled in Canada, coming from Cornwall, England. One sister alone with her family remained in England-----Aunt Mary Werry Philp. Two of the sisters who came to Canada also married Philps, and later a niece married of the same name--parents of Dr. Joseph Philp, Robert and Richard and others. Some fifty years ago the first Werry picpic was held by Dar- lington cousins who were mostly Werrys. Gradually the whole connection has been included, so that as it now comprises so many Philps it is known as the Werry-Philp Family Picnic. Automobiles having reduced distances to a fraction, the pic- nic this year was held at the home of Mr. James H. Philp, Manilla, which necessitated a motor trip of 30 to 40 miles for many of the company of over 200 cousins who spent Wednes- day, July 23rd, so happily to- gether. Mr. and Mrs. Philps and their splendid family were most cordial and untiring, in their efforts to provide comfort and entertainment for the com- pany and were well supported by their relatives from the more immediate vicinity. The usual chicken-pie dinner was fully appreciated after the long drives, and it was remark- ed, on the quiet, that the "eats" in quality and quantity were well--"wonderful". Games and chit-chat made the afternoon pass all too quickly. * After the championships had been decided all gathered on the spacious A lawn fdr the program. Mr. Fred Brandon, Canning- ton, was called to preside and conduct the program, and well indeed did he acquit himself. After singing "Blest be the tie that binds, Rev. Joseph Philp D.D., Hamilton, led in prayer. Then Mr. W. J, H. Philp gave a brief of welcome, in course: of which he said he th such gatherings were but a fitting tribute to the mem- ory of our forefathers who had had to face so many pioneer i and privations. He on to the fact that | of erously for the [ pleasure of the company. motion was seconded by Wright, and carried by a st: ing vote. Mr. James Philp, the host, plied in a neat speech, af which they were given t rousing cheers, Mrs. Geo. Vise, Oshawa, was the only representative of the second generation present, she making the return trip from Oshawa at the age of 82 years. Mrs. Isaac Elford, aged 92; Mrs. T. F. Wright, aged 86 years and Miss Elizabeth Philp, the only members of the second gen- eration were ill and unable to attend. JOHN BELDON LUNDY LDS, D.D.S.
