(Continued from front page) all other phases of life, it pays to have the best. The Course of Study. In the school of the future, the course of study will be adapted to the pupil, instead of try- ing to adapt the pupil to the course of study. That does not mean that he will not be required to learn to read and write and cipher. But it doés mean that he need not take a complete course of study that leads to matriculation, when it is ~self- evident that he will not ever attend the university; and he does need special training in some particular branches of learning that will play an important part in his life. It is pleasing to know that a Course of Study has been outlined for the pupil who will not attend University, and that it has been submitted to the Department of Education for consider- ation. It is also pleasing to note that the Department is laying stress upon the value of a certificate which>may be given to any student upon leaving school. That certificate will tell the standing of the pupil in all his sub- jeets, and may also give some idea of his particular abilities. Examinations. In this phase of education the forward tendency is to put the emphasis upon the year's work and upon the judgment of the teacher as to the ability of the pupil. This also is a right idea, A suggestion has been made that the examinations might be simplified. For instance, take the matter of history. It would be quite possible to require the student to write an essay on the Period of the Magna Charta, in which at least four subjects might be judged. |. History, Composition, Writing, and Grammar. This idea is auctually being put into practice in some schools. The idea of this method would be to relate the various subjects to each other, and teach the student that writing, gram- mar, composition, and spelling, are all subjects which must be correctly mastered if they are to clearly ex- press'the picture of the Period of the Magna Charta, or any other thought that is worthy of expression. It is of very little value to learn all the grammatical intricacies of the English or any other language, if our speech is incorrect, and our command of the language is poor. As well try to write a great piece of music with but three notes, and having but little knowledge of time and emphasis. Composition should give clear ex- expression of thought. Listen to this master of English as depicts a sunset scene. "A cloud lay cradled near the setting sun; A gleam of crimson tinged its braided snow, Long had I watched the glory moving on O'er the still radiance of the lake below. Tranquil its spirit seemed, and floated slow ; Even in its very motion there was rest, While every breath of eve that chanced to blow, Wafted the traveller to the beauteous West. Emblem methought of the departed soul To whose white robe the gleam of bliss. is given: And By the breath of mercy made to roll Right onward to the golden gate of heaven." History should be-the story of the growth of human freedom. All the dates and great names of men and battles in the world will be of litfle value unless they are sign posts along the highway of true freedom, warning of steep ascents, the sharp curves, and teaching us where we may drive safely at a fair speed. Geography Related to Life. Capes, bays, mountains, lakes, seas, and oceans--these are the sources -of our wealth. Afghanistan or Baluchi- stan should give pictures of peoples who are part of our world, and whose ways of living may at any time de- finitely affect our lives. -.All thé Course of Study is related "to life. Definite Moral Teaching One more demand of progressive edu- schools for peace, sobriety, honesty, and industry. We do not need to keep apologizing for these virtues. Nor do we need to be afraid of religious dis- cussions. The virtues are the found- ation of the State, and should be taught positively. Only those who make money out of human weakness are concerned in perpetuating war, liquor, and gambling, These selfish people have led us into most of our troubles, and have established in our minds false ideas of liberty, patriot- ism, .and progress. Those false ideas have cost much in lives and wealth, They will continue to cost immensely, until we tear aside the false mask that There need be no apologies for manly, courteous, Christian living. The soon- er we quit dodging this issue, saying religious teaching will stir up sectar- ian strife, the better it will be for our country. If we keep on ad we are going, we shall be fortunate to retain any living religion. ) In conclusion, let me say that none of these ideals can be attained until you and I think aboout them con- structively as we go about our work. Let me ask you a plain question-- What plans have you suggested or helped to make your school serve your community better? Let me ask you another question-- Are you pledged to some program of economy that must be carried out, no matter what pupils? If so, remember the words of Gladstone--*He who boasts that he will not change his mind, loves him- self more than he loves truth." And remember - another thing--this is the day when the ordinary man can, by united effort, accomplish great things. There are few great leaders to-day. The work of reform is left to people like ourselves. It will be serious if | we do not do our part. * * * Election of Officers. Hon. President--Wm.

School was called and opened in the usual manner, Mr. Robertson being the senior teacher, read the Scripture lesson.
