9¢ reforms, but these reforms cannot be made to operate with satisfaction to the whole when schemed at in separâ€" ate localiti¢s, but must be attacked by the Government, after the view points For corrective. measures of the, appar+ ent wasteful practices have been thorâ€" oughly, discussed by all parties interâ€" ested and a report made from which Question On The Results Gained From J Adolescent Act There is a feature in connection with this most laudable Act, the Adolescent Act, that has been the cause for conâ€" siderable discussion amongst those who have followed the course of risâ€" ing costs of education. The introducâ€" tion of the Act was realized as going to create some expenditure, it was going to do some good, and the chilâ€" dren who otherwise would receive but a meagre education, considered as unâ€" fitting them for world competition would reap a benefit that could not be measured in relation to the cost. After a period of working along the lines of this Act there are many, who have come to the conclusion that the expectations have not shown themselyâ€" es as likely of materialization. There are many causes which contribute to this view, children are allowed to reâ€" ceive permits that excuse them from school, they enter employment, posâ€" sibly become a charge as students at a The matter of the cost of educaâ€" tion is one that cannot be attacked in any haphazard manner, there are vast sums of money being spent in the eduâ€" cation of our rising generation as is disclosed in the figures as given by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, which discloses that the enormous amount of $125,876,375 was spent in the year 1927, the last year of availâ€" able records, was expended on public education of 1,932,963 children enrollâ€" edâ€"for elementary grades and 300,149 in secondary or higher grades, and these figures do not include the great part of night school pupils whose standing could not be determined. It is but reasonable to take a view point, says ‘The Ranger‘ that these figures may now be considerably greater with the keener enforcement of the operaâ€" tion of the Adolescent Act., so that therefore the cost will be in proporâ€" tion increased. The question must arise, are we spending too much? If we are, then there is time for the consideration of Without expressing the respective view points of the contenting parties in the broad consideration of the sitâ€" uation it may be said that there were some members of the Councilâ€" in fayâ€" Olgi‘pf the scheme or at least its acâ€" ceKance in part, while others were decidedly opposed to any course that would tend to interfere with the sysâ€" tem at present in vogue, which it was claimed had been working to satisâ€" faction in practically all areas. : quring the recent session of the ncil of the County of York there has been considerable discussion in regard to the allocation of costs in connection with the present system of education, this having been aroused by the fact that the Education Comâ€" mittee presented their report embodyâ€" ing therein a suggestion that considâ€" eration be taken for the creation of a County High School Board, who shall absorb all the duties as now handled by the local boards in the respective school areas. The Recent Discussion in York County Council Opens a Line of Thought _ For Deep Consideration A Cost Feature That Cannot Be Measured But Must Call for the Attention of Those Concerns in Reforms The Cost of our Education System!

Phone 26 READ VOLUME 29, NUMBER 13 This Brand New SERIAL STORY Starts Next Week _ Jn This Paper ' ible mode pf change may be Then we must admit that the situâ€" ation in regard to the costs of educaâ€" tion and the various courses of adminâ€" istrative bodies, is not one that may, be satisfactorily tackled to conclusion by the deliberations of small bodies in isolated sections, but is one that calls for the consideration of all the angles likely to be affected and can only be properly amended by a legislative measure that has considered the opâ€" erations of the Adolescent Act; the night school costs, and this worst of all features that of the employment of the presumed college student, just at a time when the average man, clerk and Semiâ€"artizan, is hoping to make money to tide him over the coming winter, a time when those who have ousted him have to spend in school or college in more or less comfort. It is a great question, and one the people are vitally interested in throughout the Dominion. There are each year a certain numâ€" ber of students who enter the collegâ€" iates and colleges who are financially not able to meet the costs that may be entailed in taking the several courses they have intention of going through. This type of individual must be comâ€" mended for the aims he attempts, but he follows a course to attain his end that in some measure acts very much against the man who is presumed to have finished his course and is open for employment. It is not the intention to decry the benefits that may acerue to a certain number of children who persist in folâ€" lowing the scholastic training to the end of the allotted time, this is a laudable course, but that some other system than that of allowing so many to be permitted to slip is undoubtedly desirable, so that a waste that by this course is ungovernable should be proâ€" tected against in the interests of those who must needs meet the cost, whethâ€" er they, their children, or not, expect to benefit. The Student Worker A Product Of The System _ There is just one other view that has been expressed which may be renâ€" dered in this space, all too short to deal with this momentuous question of expensive educational costs, that must come for consideration, and is one that more particularly pertains to those taking higher education. nigk@ achool, in which case it may be readily assumed that they are over.â€" taxing their strength, physically and mentally, for such a course means more than overtime to the juvenile, it means they are deprived from a fair amount of leisure, for upbuilding of health and are attacking their physiâ€" cal strength by manual or other la~ bour. Neither course is satisfactory, the ultimate result must reflect itself in the state of the future generation. Dhe Cimrs & Guine.

VERNON LOWENS. Little Emily had been to school for the first time. "Well, darling, and what did you learn?" asked the mother, on Emily‘s return. It is noteworthy in this connection that within recent dates the members of the West Toronto Business Men‘s Association, the associates of the Mount Dennis Business Men‘s organiâ€" zation, and the West Town Council have discussed this matter of flat street car wheels and each and every organization is planning to take some steps it is understood towards havyâ€" ing the matter rectified in their reâ€" Professor Spooner has declared that those who have a highly strung nerâ€" ous system, suffer tortures through sounds that apparently do not much distress those of a more: phlegmatic temperament. . ‘"In my â€" professional work in dealing with noise problems I have come across cases of normally healthy men who have been reduced to nervous wrecks through industrial noise of a somewhat extreme characâ€" ter.". He went on to state, "The ear is the most complex of all parts of the human body, and through this highly developed organ, a period spent in the midst of strident and deafening noises of a wide range produces a feeling of sensory fatigue which, little by little extends to the whole nervous system. In not a few cases partial deafness is caused. Indeed the fact is that most middle aged . persons living and working in big cities are slightly deaf from the roar and rattle of traffic, the nerve wracking bells and telephones, to say nothing of the wide range of injurious noise that calls for attention in most of _ our factories." There are some noises that may and should be eliminated and that created by a flat wheeled public street car, is one that does not need to be toleratd in any well managed municiâ€" pality. : spective spheres "Hearing an old flat wheeled car go clanking up the street car tracks the other night reminded me, says ‘The Ranger,‘ of the remarks recentâ€" ly passed by Professor H. J. Spooner of the Comittee of Industrial Fatigue, and I wondered if there was no course to follow by means of which a punâ€" ishment could be inflicted upon those who punished us, by alowing such a car to be on the road.

Over twenty merchants linked up in this venture and from every quarter, merchants, business men, and the general public have been enthusiastic as to the success of this the first event of its kind in the Town. The preliminary and ground work of this town‘s efforts was in no means a small part of its sueccess and to those merchants who had faith in the comâ€" munity spirit of Weston, goes a good deal of the credit for it. Cértainly, the splendid way in which the public responded to the new venture speaks volumes for the future progress of the town. St. John‘s Anglican Defeated by Mt. Dennis....
