' BECONDARY EDUCATION IN * RURAL COMMUNITIES Judge J. H. Scott, Perth. At can be used to decided advantage in the rural communities. The general dea thererore appeals to me as & dis- unc auvantuge: At is in line with the several taciliues or securing second- ary educauon at close range which have, tor years, been available for Hi: 7st FLEE I thee | PUPLS at a distance trom High School centres. 'Lhe puivileges which are maue possivie through the medium of Cousouaated Schools, Schools, and the nwuch abused 'l'own- ship Boards, have been open to any community and the amazing thing 1s that the people concerned are content to drift along rather than make their investment yield an adequate return. While the proposed reor; tion is in the main commendable it is well to have regard to two features which may result from it and probably be a ground for controversy. The first is its revolutionary effect. So far, com- pulsory school attendance applies to the Primary Schools. No one is com- | pelled to attend a High School or even to pass the Entrance Examination. 'There is of course the requirement of compulsory school attendance up to a certain age but the effect of the pro- posed advanced course in the Public Schools will be to extend the principles Jof forced attendance to the High School sphere of operation. This is, after all, not a serious objection but FIRE Green forests ensure an even flowof clear run- ning water; burned timber means muddy torrents in flood | for rural life and citizenship. The third objective appears to be to relieve Universities of the burden of educating thousands of young folk who are only partially fitted to make good use of a university education. The new system would sift out the un- suitable students who are a burden on the universities. The fourth objective is the creation servé the present need of the nation; not to impose an educational ideal up- on a people that in some measure un- fits the student for the needs of the day. What the universities demand, that the lower schools must supply. The university outlook may be due for revision, too. Indeed the emphasis that is being placed on science and kindred subjects shows that this re- vision is already taking place. If, as the Minister of Education says, the people are really responsible for what is taught in the schools; that all that the Department of Education can do is to give advice only, and assistance on condition that the ad- vice is accepted; then it is time that we did something toward revising the (continued on local page.)

Entries to be made with J. H. Caster, Sec'y missin BE ---- of a forum in which the whole subject might be brought under discussion construtcively. This Teaction is be- ginning to take form, and there is enough conviction that the present system requires revision, to ensure a survey of the possibilities of the pro- posal in the hope that it may afford relief to the present disability of the rural communities in the matter of education, and that it may do some- thing to turn the tide of students away from the professions where they are crowded, and into training for in- dustrial service where they are needed. All these objectives are desirable, if they can be gradually effected with- out too great a cost, or too great a disruption of the system, so that it may lack cohesion. Naturally there are some lions in the way. The chief of these will be the lack of qualified teachers to carry out the advanced educational program. Even at the present time it is difficult to 'secure teachers who for a reason- able salary are able to fit into the requirements of the smaller school, teaching both general and special sub- jects. This phase alone will give pause to any immediate application ot the proposal, and call for some con- structive work on the part of the De- partment of Education. Inducements will have to be given to teachers to qualify themselves for the advanced |. positions they will be required to fill. Buildings and equipment are also frequently inadequate for any ad- vanced step, and can only be made adequate by the co-operative effort of the community. That is where the Township Board would function to ad- vantage.
