No school board is compelled to permit the schools under its authority to give this instruction. Any teacher who doés not wish to !rive this instruction may refrain om doing so. Any parent or guardian may indicate a wish that their children should not receive this instruction. In that way, freeâ€" do,x.n“ of conscience is fully protected. tribution of a new book.for the school under the title "Canadian Democracy in Action". This book tells in simple words how we govâ€" ern ourselves under our own parâ€" ticular constitution and what part each citizen plays in governing ourselves as a people. Other textâ€" books which fit into the same obâ€" jective pattern are in course of preparation. If we should succeed in #Mn‘ to the children of this province the finest academic, technical and voâ€" catiorul){uining offered ln{Whm in the world, we would still have fallen far short of the real goal of education if we should fail to deâ€" velofl the character of our children at the same time. In the twenty years between 1919 and 1939, the victors of the last war threw away the victory. That was largely due to the failure of the nations, which are once again united in a common cause, to attach sufficient importâ€" ance to the development of charâ€" acter and real human understandâ€" ing in the education which they ofâ€" fered to their youth. Materialism ran rampant in those twenty years. To a very great extent, all of us are toâ€"day paying the tragic penalty of that materialism, It was a story which has been repeated throughâ€" out all history. . Historians of the future will record that once again the world turned to the worship of false gods and q‘aid the inevitable penalty. Now that victory comes nearer hour by ‘hour, it is our duty here in Ontario to remember that tragic lesson and profit by what we have learnedy The plans which will really termine what kind of a Cuuuc: have ten years from now, twentyâ€" five years from now, fifty or s hu:dr‘dd myu‘? !rom.d x's‘w. wlll"t'h' e n the education we give gur youth.

Because of that frent historic fact and of the part played by one man to whom free men everywhere owe so much, I would like to end my remarks to you toâ€" night with_words which were spoken by Winston Churchill two years ago. They are words you may take as a clear statement of the present position and the future furpou of the Ontario Government n regard to religious education in our sehools. "Here we have freedom of thought as well as freedom of conscience. Here we have been : the pioneers of religious tolerâ€" ation. But side by side with all this has been the fact that reâ€" ligion has been a rock in the Coâ€"operation With Employee And Employer venile mcy in the part of the letter I have 1 would like to read a: brief W from . a llenging arâ€" ticle which I read in the February issue of "Reader‘s Digest". It was written by a veteran of this war who served in the Raiders and has returned to school in the United States. I think it is an effective answer to many of those who at}‘ue that we should have no religious instruction . in our gublic schools. This is what he said: * "You adults cry about deâ€" h'nqucnc?'. Why, then, in the name of common sense, may we not have religious teaching and _ leadership _ in gublic schools? Not sectarian, but in fononl morals and conduct. n the Raiders, we had fellows: with all kinds of religious faiths and we swapped ideas. _ But we all dprnyed to the same _ God. It did us more good than anything." ‘ I believe it is a matter of the most urgent public importanee that we devote our energies more than ever before to the building of charâ€" acter in our youth. That will be the very best planning of all that we can do for the years which lie ahead. ! We have seen dramatic evidence during this war of the strength of a simple and abiding faith in deâ€" cent and honourable things. We must never forget, and it is to be ho]ud that the rest of the world will never forget, that terrible year when the British Empire stood alone against the full flood of Nazi power at the very peak of its !i&htâ€" Ing strength. There was little then to sustain British J:eo%le throughâ€" outLour wi‘dg world fellowship exâ€" "Industry has become imperâ€" life and character of the Britâ€" ish poofile upon which they have built their hogel and cast their cares. ‘This fundamental element must never be taken from our schools."

"It does not work for unity when we lecture labour and deplore the irresponsibility of their leaders.

John Bracken, the farm boy, on his father‘s farm in Ontario, milking, haying, carrying in the wood, plowing . . . then young Bracken, honours student at the Ontario Agricultural College going to Manitoba as representâ€" ative of the Department of Agriculture . . . on to Saskatchewan as Superintendent of Fairs and Farmers‘ Institutes and Secretary of the Provincial Livestock Association . . . then, later, John Bracken, author, writing books about farms, farming, farmers .. And now years later, in Winnipeg, John Bracken, the farmer, is speaking of "the right of farmers and other ;)rimary producers to a fair share of the nation‘s ncome." Notice the simplicity of the language he uses, clear, concise â€" sincere. "During the last decade," he is saying, "farm income fell to such a low average as to become of very great concern in our Canadian economy. It is the responsiâ€" bility of the nation to see that this great inequity shall not be perpetuated." ® > Then, suddenly his voice rises, becomes even clearer, more incisive. "I may say quite frankly that if it hui not been for that plank in your platform which proâ€" vides for a square deal for agriculture, I would not: be here." " Two years later, in Alliston, Ontario, â€" again the same simplicity, the moving sincerity. "I am an agrarian," said John Bracken, "and I am & Canadian . . . who seeks to correct the major social injustice of our day â€"the unfairly small share of the national income that %?h? to farmers and farm women and farm workers." n, with a statesman‘s enlargeâ€" ment of vision, he added, "When the injustice to the farmer is removed, the economy of Canada as a whole will be strengthened." No one could be less finrochhl in his outlook â€"more deeply concerned with national welfare than John‘ Bracken, the farmer who embarked twenty years nfo on a career so successful as to be without fmodcnt m contemporary gylitiul history within the British Come monwealth of Nations. 6 / John Bracken â€"The Farmerâ€" Bâ€"2 Published by the \ " iT‘ Come IN HANDY.
