The Beaver Meadow Creek now chiefly of interest in spring-time if you can an- swer the question "are suckers up" in the affirmative was in pioneer days the source of power for thriving in- dustries, and compare with Beauhar- nois, Chats Falls and others of re- cent interest quite as important in the life of the community. The re- 'maing of the old dam still remains on the west side of Simcoe Road just south of Mr. Owen's home, It was here the first saw mill was built and most of the lumher used in the early days was cut here. Farther to the south along the creek, where Mr. W. Jackson now lives was situated the the J. B. Lazier Bent-Goods factory; here were manufactured many of the farming implements used in those days. Such implements as rakes, fork handles, scythes, grain cradles, etc. Some of these old implements are still in use showing what honest worth and workmanship was put into them. : At some future time we hope to give a brief sketch of these interest. ing industrial centres of our com- -munity and of the men who developed them, Misses Beth Symes and Pauline Ferguson, and Messrs, Robert Willan and Merlin Raines, motored. as far north as Minden on Sunday. If a person desires to see really true Can- . adian beauty one should visit the lakes and rivers of Northern Ontario. Some of the beautiful spots visited by the group were Balsam Lake, Head Lake, Gull Lake and Shadow Lake; a little time was spent at the last named of which many may not have heard, due to the fact that this same lake was not very long ago called Silver Lake. The camping spots on Shadow Lake are a sight worth see- ing in themselves, the beach being lined with huge rocks through which the sparklin water splashes as if it, +00, was proud of its nearness to the rock belt of Northern Ontario. The lake bottom is hard rock while near the shore the course of tifiié Tas word away the larger rocks leaving in its stead millions of glishening stones of various sizes. The water of these northern lakes and rivers is unlike of many of our more southern lakes, it being cooler and with a color of which can only be described dor- rectly when one sees it for himself. Due credit must be given to the men who blasted and tore their way through the northern rdck land leav- ing in their wake a road which rivals that of our southern concrete high- ~ways. It can easily be seen why tour- ists choose Northern Ontario for sum- mer vacations" after one has seen for himself 'the true beauties of this wonderful Province of ours. On the way home the groups called on Mr, and Mrs, Albert Bell, of Victoria 'Road, well known to most of the young peole of Honeydale. Mr. Bell looks after the canal be- tween Balsam Lake through Lake Mitchell to Lake Simcoe. Thé great- ness of man's knowledge can be easily ascertained when you see with what ease boats can be transported from one body of water to another over a drop of some seventy feet by the use of canal locks, ; Mr. John Byam, who passed away at his home in Lindsay, on Monday, : 24th, was a brother-in-law of the late Chas.

Country school teach- ers are as well paid as those in towns and cities, less special allowances made locally for higher living costs.' And why shouldn't they be? Their service is of as great importance, Why should not country children have 'as good teachers as town children? Are they not of as much value to the state? Can things be right for Ontario's country schools untll we have a similar reform? r ; 6. Less Stress on Examinations and Classics-- There as been a decided relaxation in Scotland, as there has been in Ontario also, in the unquestioned devotion to examinations, competitions, the classics and to university matriculation as the be-all and end-all of school work. They are thinking more and more in terms of fitting young people for life rather than fo rtraining them all for professional careers and white -collar jobs. The ordinary folk are being considered in the schools' ser- vices as well as the elite. They are stressing the teaching of music, art, hod- school life will end at 14 or 15. The library system of the county is linked with the schools under the management of the Director of Education for the County, All Scottish homes have free access to libraries. 7. Denominational Schools Absorbed into National System-- sorbing of the separate Anglican and Catholic denominational system of schools. This fine accomplishment was achieved on a voluntary basis and in their rights with regard to religious teaching and the special training of teachers. This movement has made for solidarity, tolerance and advance- ment all round. We have the same problem to solve in Ontario. Fortunate indeed would our Province be-if this disturbing political and educational feature of our school system could be resolved in equity and justice. Here is a job for a statesman! I know I am expressing the opinion of many Protestant school- men, when I say that this matter must be settled before we can go forward into needed educational reforms. Surely we can do as thy did in Scotland. Personally, I would go a long way in compromise (the British way) with my better education for our children. to all Protestants to have instruction for their children in the public schools in the Bible and the principles of Christianity. difficult problem; but it should be faced in these times when the foundations of morality and society are being sorely tried. optimism regarding their educational development. Scotland is still Scot- land in education--a world leader, LESSONS FROM DENMARK city has not overshadowed and crippled the country as with us, and with Scotland and all other English speaking countries. . Denmark {s a wonderful little country. In my opinion it comes nearer to the ideal of the democratic state than any other country in the world, not excepting England. In a very fair measure it approximates to the Liberty, revolutionists. They say in Denmark--' We cannot be a big country, but we can be a great country." And with all their imperfections, they press on to the fulfillment of their ideal of soclal democracy. All the things our politicians have recently promised us such as unemployment, sickness and old- age insurance are old stories in Denmark. They have been world pioneers in social legislation. They govern themselves well--better than we do, I fancy, In many respects the Danes are like their cousins, the Scot. They are devoted to education; they are democratic and "canny". They have a splen- did system of elementary and secondary education, a famous university and splendid colleges of agriculture, forestry and technology. There is more freedom and flexibility, however, than in the Scottish school system and decidedly more than in Canadian systems. For example, all classes at the university are open and free to the public. There are no university fees. Again twelve of the twenty Normal Schools for training teachers are private- ly owned, free and tiidepehieént institutions receiving government grants and recognition. Any one can start a school in Denmark and if it meets state requirements, receive recognition and grants. There is no separate school question with the Danes. They are a very well educated people; none better, and few as good. This applies also to the other Scandinavians. We Anglo Saxons should not forget that our Scandinavian cousins may "teach us a few things." " THE DANISH FOLK HIGH SCHOOLS Denmark's greatest contribution to the cause of democratic education is what is called the Folk High School. It is peculiarly a Danish "discovery". It came into being through the stirring advocacy of a Bishop Grundtvig who realized the great need of some sort of school to stir the Danes out of their despair and degradation following their defeat at the time of the French revolution. The first school was established in 1844. Then after Denmark's defeat by Germany and Austria in 1864 they sprang up in large numbers. These achools .are given the credit of restoring Denmark to economic prosperity and making her the leading country in the world in successful co-operation by farmers. We have no such schools in Ontario. The Agri- cultural College at Guelph does not do for our farmers what the Folk High Schools do for the Danish farmers; that is unite them into a co-operating brotherhood, Neither does -the Agricultural "School at Kemptville for the farmers of Eastern Ontario, At present there are 59 of these schools and in addition 22 Agricultural High Schools operating on similar principles. They are independent schools, not government schools, though getting modest government grants. They are attended by about 9000 young Danish farmers and farm women yearly.

The work is largely covered in lectures--the "spoken word" they call it. This was Grundtvig's philosophy; that life was in the living word and not in the "dead" word of books. They have proved beyond doubt "schools of life". They have created a Rural Commonwealth of the farm folk of Denmark. Co-operation fs the breath of life for Danish farmers. They could not exist apart from this co- operation created by their schools. . Can we have such schools in Ontario? At present I do not see how we could, because our Ontario farmers are not co-operators and besides they are too much disposed to wait for the government to do things for them. They are not so independent and self-reliant as Danish farmers. Something might be done to give the Guelph and Kemptville schools a twist that would enable them to function as government-free institutions under the control of farm- ers' organizations, but as long as they are under political control they could not be Folk High Schools; they could only be Ontario Government schools 'for country folk.
