News-Record Cut the "Frills" and "Sugar Coating' RESIDENTS of Clinton and district have more than a little interest in the remarks of Hon. Dr, W. J. Dunlop, Ontario's new Minister of Education with regard to the "frills" at- tendant on our search for education to-day. But they won't all agree with the mighty Globe and Mail, published in Toronto, that what he says is "all wet". In fact, they might be forgiven for clapping their hands silently in approbation of a new breath of air from the staid Ontario Department of Education, situated in Toronto. Perhaps we are a little biassed in our 9Pinion, because Dr. Dunlop •attended settee]. at Clinton Collegiate Institute, and started out as a fledgling school teacher at S.S. 7, Hullett Township, not far from here, with eight pupils and the princely salary of $325 a year. That was a long time ago, and Incidentally, the present teacher of this school section is re- puted to receive $1,700 a year for teaching ten pupils. That's quite a difference, too. However, he was not perturbed so much about the $325 as he was about a clause in the contract which said the teacher was to sweep out the school and light the fires. Be- ing a resourceful young man he solved the fire-lighting problem. A farm boy, older than regular pupils, wanted some tutoring in al- gebra. He started the fire in the school stove. But cleaning, out the school created a problem. Young Dunlop hit upon an idea. One Friday afternoon he told the class that if they worked satisfactorily they could be dismissed early, then the girls could sweep the school and the boys clean up the yard. It worked fine until he discovered that it created a precedent. The kids wanted 'early dismissal every Friday afternoon even if the school did not need cleaning. The Globe and Mail attacked Dr. Dunlop in its editorial columns yesterday. They took exception to a statement he made in an ad- dress before the annual convention of the On- tario Association of Rural Municipalities in Toronto Tuesday: We have perhaps gotten a little too far away from the material that needs to be taught in school. Our young people must be equipped for the positions they are going to take after they leave school. JUNIOR FARMERS in Ontario have given a good deal of attention to the matter of suit- able business arrangements between them and their parents for operating the family farm, However, until recently, there was no publish- ed information of Ontario origin available to them. This situation has been met with in a new 'bulletin published by the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture, entitled "Family Farm Business Arrangements in Ontario." This 40-page booklet is divided into three Main sections. The first section 'deals with the Problems in Organizing and Operating the Family Farm; the second section covers the ways in which income and management of the farm may be shared, while the third deals A CONTROVERSY still rages over the dropping of the word ."Dominion" from. Can- ada's statutes, and by implication, from Can- ada's name. The matter eventually may become the reason for a full dress debate in Parliament, once it reassembles come February 28. In the newspapers recently have appeared teports of meetings of various organizations Which have gone on record as beingopposed to deletion of the word "Dominion".

We agree with Dr, Dunlop that the tendency to "sugar-coat" education with athletics and "useful" activities should be curbed before it is too late. To The Toronto Telegram yesterday, the Minister clarified his remarks made at the convention in which he had charged that there was too much stress on athletics and -not enough on the intellectual side of education. "They have gone to extremes in this re- gard, in the United States," said Dr. Dunlop. "Unfortunately there is always a tendency for some of these things to cross the border." He added that educators in the United States have now realized their error, "The time for us to apply the brakes is now—before it is too late? The "brakes," he said, will come in the form of a directive from his department to all school boards, school inspectors and normal schools. "These activities must be brought in- to their proper perspective and I intend to see that this is carried out," he said, Just what the proper balance will be has not been decided; but the directive will be sent out in time to affect curricula in Ontario schools next fall, he, promised, "I am anxious," said Dr. Dunlop, "about time spent in activitiee that have nothing much to do with real etude. I haVe discovered that in some of our schools an inordinate amount of time is spent on athletics." He explained that he was speaking of con- ditions generally and was not singling out specific schools. "It isn't a citiestion of large cities but the Province as a whole," he said. Dr. Dunlop conceded that art, music, hothe economics and manual training are "useful subjects." "I am anxious, however, that they should not encroach on the fundamentals of education such as reading, writing and arith- metic," he said. More and more, the Minister said; em- ployers -are complaining ethat young people are leaving school without being able to read and write properly and without a proper background in mathematics." The Minister may have "started some- thing" in his making these frank comments. And we believe that it may be all to the good. with retirement plans for farmers and methods of transferring the farm property. As . pointed out in the introduction, the booklet could not possibly deal in detail with all the legal and other matters which could conceivably be encountered. Nevertheless, it does contain many examples of how various problems can be worked out, and should prove very helpful to families who are considering establishing such agreements. The booklet is available to Ontario farm- ers free of charge from their County Agri- cultural Representative; from the Department of Agricultural Economics, Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph; or from the Statistics and Publications Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture, Parliament Buildings,-Toronto. posed to deletion of the word "dominion"; but we are of the opinion that if it is to be deleted, it should be substituted by the word "King- dom". On previous occasions, we nave argued that "Kingdom" is the only fit and proper title to describe a nation functioning in a democratic way under a King or Queen. And what's more, we feel_ that most Can- adians — whether they come from Ontario, Quebec, the Maritimes, or the Western Prov- inces — should be able to agree on the correct and proper term — "Kingdom".

TEMPERANCE Which is the better temperance measure—the Canada Temperance Act or the Liquor Control Act? Under which act is drunkenness more in evidence? We have the answer to the first question in the second question's answer. One of our ministers lived for some years in a busy town in South Western Ontario. For the past three years he has lived in Huron County. He asserts unhesitatingly that he saw evidences of drunk- ennesa every day in the town that was under the Liquor Con- trol Act and that he hardly ever sees anyone drunken in the Hu- ron County town. Another new- comer to Huron had lived in sub- urban Toronto. There it was a common sight on the streets near the beer parlors, men staggering with strong drink. Here in a quiet Huron County town he test- ifies that it is a rare sight. Ask any person who has lived under the two acts, He knows the an- swer to the question-*-which is. the better temperance measure? Is there anyone anywhere who will assert that there is less evie deuce of drunkenness under the Liquor Centro). Act with its liquors stores and beer parlors and cocke, tail lounges?
