ARTEMESIA COUNCIL Edge Bill. VARNEY .‘-.. TORONTO that it will admit of improvement. He has thoroughly grounded in his mind the doctrines of Froebel, and a favorite dictum of his ie that the ideal system of education would furnish every child with a tutor. Meanwhile there are one or two things which defer this desirable consummation. and which must be con- sidered by statesmen. In Ontario, there is a very general zeal in learning. Fat- hers are not content that their children should trudge along in the same grooms as they have done; they admit, with Solomon, that increase of knowledge in increase of sorrow. but argue that it is likewise increase of possibilities; conse- quently the average of literacy tnontario is higher, and the school attendance is larger. than in any other Piovince of Canada. Where there is such a prevalent appetite of learning, it means that many must eat from the same dish. l Miss Lizzie Allan is spending a. few days with Norumuby fvieuls.

That's right Jim, write It up Although Premier Ross does not make a boast of it, the educational system of Ontario is one of the feathers in his cap. He had the conduct of that department for many years, and when Mr Harcourt took it over he came into a Well-ordered inheritance. PROVINCIAL EDUCATION. think J will With these limitations, it is surprising how the educational system of Ontario. lnrgly fostered by Premier Rose. has developed. It has niweye been good enough to point at with pride when we were abroad. and wealthy Statee of the Union have often looked enviouely to- wards its results. It has given the greatest number of etudente the greatest amount of good with the least friction, and, spite of its little inequalities, hue turned out a. prodigious number of good men and women. It has seeded this Province richly with culture and high aims: it has planted ite influences all through Canada; and it hue given our young men considerable prestige in the United Staten where theynre known, for their thoroughness and general in. formation. There cannot be a teacher to every pupil, however great the yearly supply. One teacher must divide his attention among many students. A system is therefore it necessity, end the states- man’s duty is simply to make that system as fUxible " possible. Another thing that publicists must consider is the amount of money at their disposal for a can min put pose. There are many clsims on the treuury at the Province-trid to agriculture, sid to railways, aid to in- dustries that will increase the wealth and happiness of the people. The garment must he cut according to the cloth. consequently, education must not ssk for more than its shame of the public funds.
