That is an astonish­ ing- estimate and shows that popul- ai* education throughout the Domin­ ion is steadily gaining ground. Tp take care of this , crowd of pupils ,a large number of teachers are requir­ ed, Many of these, during the holi­ day season, took special courses in order to keep abreast of the latest ideas in teaching or to fit them­ selves for higher positions. The de­ mand made upon the teaching pro­ fession are very exacting, and it is no sinecure to take charge of a school. In the past year some not­ able changes have been made in th,e courses of study which are expected to make them more interesting and practical. It is gratifying that the trend is toward a broader and moire exacting education, while greatest* emphasis will be placed’ on social studies, cultural subjects and in­ struction in regard to health. The boys and girls of today have a very fine opportunity to acquire a liberal education. The responsibility is on them to take advantage of the courses offered.
