Education.
Just a word or two on education:
Thi- House was not divided on the
debate on the address; but I then
deslt fully with the question of edu-
cation, and I therefore at present do
nut purpose to deal at length with
this question. but for the purposes of
of my amendment to the preseqt mo-
tion to go into supply the two debates
might very well be considered as con-
joined, thus to avoid the necessity of
repetition. That educational affairs,
particularly so far as the rural
schools are concerned. have been
badly muddled Is not even seriously
denied by Conservative members. Aa
to the scarcity of teachers honorable
gentlemen opposite express different
views; one „member expressed the
hope that in two years matters would
properly adjust themselves. while the
honorable member for East Peter-
borough hays. that in five years time
there will be a sufficient supply of
teacher-. This, Sir, is decidedly en-
couraging, yes, even refreshing! We
pleaded with the Government for
several suocessive sessions. when they
'had determined against our protest,
to sholish the model schools. that
they should not wipe them out at one
stroke We pleaded for at least a
survival of thefittest in order that
there might be a sufficient number
left to supply qualified teachers for
all our schools. Both our advice and
our pleadings upoo reluctant, and
unappreciative ears. The result is
that about twenty or twenty-five per
cent. of the rural schools in the Pro-
vine,. of Ontario to -day are in the
hands of unqualified teachers. That.
Sir, is the result of the Government's
sinning against. advice and against
oft -repeated warnings. We pointed
out over and over again that a large
percentage of our normal trained
teachers go west. to teach in the
western provinces, and taking that
tact with the fact of the wiping out
of the model schools there was bound
to he a dearth of teachers. The edu-
cation report for 1909 shows that SOO
teachers left the Province of Ontario
for the west. The honorable the mem-
ber for Fast Peterborough. as I have
already stated* expressed the opinion
that in five years there will be a
sufficient number of teachers, 1 beg,
lair, to introduce the honorable mem-
ber to his Own .teding, that of East
Peterborough.
East Peterborough.
Richard ,Lees. the Public School
Inspector for Fast Peterborough. un-
der date of January Seth, 1911, sub -
mated a report to the County Coun-
cil. in which he rays that last year
nut of the total rural schools of that
Riding. numbering 74, there were RI
teachers holding second-class certi-
ficates. fifteen holding third-class cer-
tificates. mix holding district certifi-
cates. and not less than thirty-one
who were not regularly qualified; but
who merely had permits and such
other like temporary certificates. In
other words. (luring the. year 1910
forty-two per cent. of the rural schools
in the old riding of East Peterborough
were in the hands of unqualified
teaehers. This is the direct result of
the Premier's;hoest, thnt he had turn-
ed the educatimial system upside
down It is indeed. Sir. entirely too
true that he has turned the educa-
tional system upside down. with the
deplorable result in East Peterborough
that the Public School Inspector calls
attention to
Nuthumberland and Durham.
Let me give another illustration of
the result of the miantanagement of
educational affairs in this province
by the present Government. I fiad,
according to the report of William R.
Tilley, M.A.. Ph.D., Public School
Inspector for West Inspectorate No.

1990 there went 70 rural eehoole in his
inspectorate: in whisk schools there
were, 2 first-claes. 22 second-class,
and 46 third-class. and not a single
teacher holding any kind of a tem-
Fr=oprtificate or permit. In 1910.

Explanations by Conaervatives.
The honorable member for Algoma
S&$. that the closing of the model
schools has had nothing whatever 10
do with the scarcity of teachers. that
the sole cause is the fact that they
are going west to teach in the western
provinces. The former statement is
absolutely false. the latter has an
element of truth in it. which we
pointed out to be the fact long held.
the model schools were abolished.
The more astute and resourceful
member for West Hastings give. as
his explanation, that there is a
scarcity of labor everywhere. on the
farm, in the workshop and in the
office; and he gives this his reason
for the scarcity of teach rs. Appar-
ently not satisfied himself wiV1 tits
as an explanation. he volun*ers a
further etatement, and says that we
British are nomadic, and hints that
the teachers. gipsy-like. are folding
their tents and flitting out of Ontario.
One can scarcely realize the irrita-
tion that such cxplapations natural-
ly 'cause rural school Vustees. who
are working overtime endeavoring to
get qualified teachers. I fancy I see
the honorable member for West
Hastings giving this explanation.
particularly to the trustees of a sec-
tion where the assessment is over
$40.000, and where thobgh they ad.
vertise once and have no applications
from any qualified teacher they must
still 'mend money in advertising a
•eoond time before the inspector ie
allowed, by a superlatively foolish
regulation of the Department. to
grant a permit to any person to teach
in that sehool.
First then, there is a scarcity ef
labor of .all kinds, next, we are a
nomadic race, and then the honorable
member for West Hastings, not seem-
ing to have satisfied himself that he
Las given any sane explanation of
the difficulty, consoles the trustees in
the rural section with the information
that there is a great surplus of
teachers over in England, and that
we may import them. This. Sir. is
comforting advice to parents. eepecial.
le of the poorer class, whose sons and
daughters are practically debarred
2mm taking up the teaching pro-
fession owing to the centralization
policy of the Government and the
wiping out of our model schools. I
say. Sir. to debar our own young men
and women from entering the teach-
ing profeaaion, and then to suggest
to the trustees that they import
teachers from England, is adding in-
sult to injury and I repeat were it
not for the serious condition of af-
fairs such explanations would be a
wery interesting burlesque.
Then, Sir, there ei tJtat guileless
youth. thiksjileammie innocent young
man,-tlfr10,MIabTe ilember for South
Renfrew, who comes forward with an
explanation. How extremely guile -
'teas he is! "I will show the Honor-
able Leader of the Opposition," says
he, "what is the cause of the scar-
city of teachers in the rural districta,"
and holding up in his hand a report
of a speech by the President of To -
route University, which apparently
says that 16 per cent. of the univer-
eity graduates; go west, he gives this
Sr a complete explanation fee the
searcity of teachers in the townships.
How innocent. how extremely
rent the honorable member is! He
is under the impression that young
men and women mine-dist/4y upnn
being graduated from Toronto Uni-
versity go forth into the townships to
teach in our t•ural achools. He is
evidently trying to get in line with
the Premier's explanation. that he
has turned things upside down. and
he will have university graduates go
out to the townships to teach public
schools. and doubtless he will have
our model and normal trained teach-
ers go and lecture in the university.
On seeded thought, however, 1 am
osenned to think the honorable gen-
tleman is trying to qualify for a posi-
tion in the Education Department.
and is endeavoring to display hie
siess for such a place by seeking to
dhow that he knows absolutely noth-
tug about educational affairs. He is
shrewd enough. Sir, to knew that if
he is to be in line, an absolute out-
dltion precedent to his reeeiring an
appointment is. that he shoeld show
atter ignorance of educational affairs
oenerally, and particularly of any
question bearing upon the welfare of
oar rural selsoolt.

tion has both a financial and aa

that thie province can no longer,
from either an educational or ethical
standpoint. afford to say to the
twenty, or thirty, or forty thousand
students. whom chill penury drives
from our public schools to the work-
shop and such like places. that it
has no obligation whatever and owes
them nothing whatever. All along
the line substantial aid is given to
the high school student and univer-
sity student. and none to the lad
whose parents possibly cannot afford
to send him to school—even to the
high school stage. In other words we
belts the sone of the wealthier and
decline to give any assistance what-
ever to the poorer lad.
Germany perhaps, furnishes an il-
lustration of the splendid results
arising from a well considered and
fully developed technical and Indus-
trial systeni of education. Here, our
continuation classes are conducted
purely alonc the old scholastic
there. the continuation class is prac-
tically an industrial continuation
class. Beginning with the continua-
tion class, the stat:' never loses sight
of the practical side of life. The
question of technical and indnstrial
education is se olosely allied with
that of trade and comnierce that one
can readily understand why the em-
pire as a whole pays so much atten-
tion to this matter.
In Germany the schools are, rough-
ly 'speaking. supported as follows: VI
per cent. Of the cost is paid by tuition
fees; 49 per cent. by grants and dona-
tions by municipalities. employers of
labor. and from other. philanthropic
sources; while the empire as a whale
contributes about 23 per cent.. It is
a matter of common knowledge that

mate is at all approximately ..true,
and I think it is, and it ia supported
by teachers interested in industrial
training, it shows ea absolute demand
on the part of these young men and
women for techaical industrial train-
ing. Assuming, Sir, for the sake of
argument, that the amount of money
thus sent out annually is even only
$500,000. and placing th • support of
the industrial schools upon the same
basis as now exista in Germany.
namely, that the students should pay

of immediate action on the part of
this Government. There should have

the House contended lard year that
this Government should have ap-
pointed a commission composed of
competent educationists. to not only

vince, but alao to by way of inter-
viewing boards of education. boards

Reciprocity.
Now, Sir, I take up the question.
yrhich the Honorable the Provincial
Treasuier introduced very naively
into this debate, technically justify-
ing its introduction on account of its
alleged effect on the Temiscaming
and Northern Ontario Railway.
Without discussing the correctness or
incorrectness of the principal raven
given. let me say at the outset that
I do not propose to give a silent vote
on this question. The honorable
member for West Toronto justified
the discussion of reciprocity by this
House on the ground that it affecta
the people of Ontario. and therefore
we have a right to discuss it. By
parity 'of rou-ming, and because
education, arid all the laws and regu-
lations in connection with it in this
province, affect all members at Ot-
tawa who come from this province,
they then will be justified in placing
on the order paper at Ottawa a reso-
lution with reference to our model
4choola or our normal schools, or
some other such question. I fancy.
Sir, if some Liberal member at Otta-
wa. from Ontario, were to attempt to
do this, not only would the occupant.:
of the treasury benches here, but
the mettiber for West Toronto would
join them in a pretty violent de-
nunciation of any such Ottawa poli-
tician, anti would raise a tremendous
cry about the fact that the provin-
cial field was being invaded. I re-
gret, Sir, the greeting tendency in
this House among Conservatives in
their desire to have a fling at the
Government at Ottawa. What must
the necessary result of such a prac-
tice be, if Conservatives of this House
unnecessarily go out of their way to
find fault with the Liberals at Otta-
wa, and similarly the Liberals her.'
were to do the same with reference
to Conservative members at Ottawa?
The necessary result will he to lower
the tone of debate in this House, and
to lower the dignity and standing .ef
this Legislature. Anyone can readily
see that the public under such eir-
cumetances would to justified in con-
cluding. and could come to no other
erclitei n, than that the members of
this Legislature were mere henchmen
or shouters 'for the politicians at Ot-
tawa. and thus this Legislature would
hold, in public opinion, a decidedly
inferior position. I have no such
views. Sir, of the rights, and duties of
a Provincial Legislature. We act,
Sir, by the same sovereign right that
politicians at Ottawa do; we derive
Our powers and responsibilities from
the same source. and we, ought not
in any way to lower or degrade oar
position. My position is this. Sir,
that while ..very member of. this
House as a citizen of this Dominion
has an absolute right to discusti any
question that affects the Dominion, it
is doubtful procedure for. us. I care
not what the procedent may be, as a
Legislature to deal with the question
of Trade and Commerce, which by
the British North America Act is
assigned to the Dominion Parlia-
ment. However. Sir, leaving this
respect of the question aside; as a
matter of pure party politics. I wel-
come the discussion of this subject
upon the floor of this House, though
I ileubi the wisdom of it. I ani bound
to admit. Sir, that the Honorable the
Provincial Treasurer realised that he
was treading upon doubtful ground,
and he took creat pains to explain
that he only referred to the question
because of his fear that if the reci-
procity agreement a consummated
the result will be injurious to the
Temiscaming and Northern Ontario
Railway, wh;ch ii own,x1 and operated
by this province. and therefore upon
that ground, and that ground alone.
did he mom to justify the introduc-
non of the discussion. In thus nar-
rowing Ole reason for introducing
thta subject, the Honorable the Pro -
Treasurer was more careful
and judicious than certain other
honorable gentlemen who have
spoken

the Provincial Treasurer has given
his party a load that they will never
attempt to lift when he says, that not
only would reciprocity, if adopted.
not be a good thipg. but when he
goes out of his way at great length
to quote figures and argue that the
Reciprocity Treaty of 1864 to 1896 wee
very injurious to the old provinces of
Canada. One can understand any
honorable gentleman taking the Pool -
lion that circumstances and eondi
Hone have changed, owing to poLicies
adopted sirwe 1816, that it does not
now follow that even if the old treaty
was beneficial to Canada that the
adoption of a similar one wnuld now
be so; but, as I have said, the Honor-
able the Provincial Treasurer asks
party to lift the tremendous load
05 proving to the people of this
province that the old treaty wars
ortfrotie to the people of the old prov-
inces. His argument is meaningless

1 am quite certain that the older
farmer. of this provinee. who recol-
lect the facts, will have difficulty in

with our Provincial Treasurer! The
h000rable gentleman, in the ex‘raine
position he has Laken. tarns down
the whole record of the Ooneervative
party *a the question of trade rela-
tions. Lot me, 8ir, briefly summarise
the attempts made to secure fairer
trade relations with the Union to the
Booth of us. The treaty was abrogat-
ed in 1851. Confederation was con-
summated in 1867. In 1869 Sir John
Rose , who was then Finance Minister,
was sent to Washington by the Con-
servative Government, and with Sir
R. Thornton, the British Ambassador,
mode an ineffectual attempt to obtain
a renewal of the Reciprocity Treaty.
In 1871, the late Sir John A. Macdon-
ald and his British colleagues who
negotiated the Washington treaty,
endeavored 10,. secure a renewal of the
Reeiprocit7 Treaty, but ineffectually.
In 1872, the United States National
Board of Trade petitioned Congress
for renewal of reciprocity, and the
then Conservative Government at Ot-
tawa declared its randiness to accept
the same. In 1874, the Hon. George
Brown was sent by the then Liberal
Government to Washington, and in
company with Sir E. Thornton. Brits
iah Anibassacior. actually secured 'an
agreement to a treaty, which was not,.
-however, subsequently ratified by the
United States Senate. In. 1879. the
Oustoms Tariff prepared by the then
Conservative Government at Ottawa
inaugurating the,National Policy made
a standing offer for Free Trade or
reduced rates on a long list of Unit-
ed States products if the Unit-
ed States would act similarly with
reference to Canadian products. Tb.
Hon. Mr. Tilley, Minister of Finance,
on March 14th, 1879 (see Hansard
I819, vol. 1, p. 415) refers to -a reso-
lution that will be laid on the table
cootattung a proposition to this effect
that as to articles named which are

Charles '1 upper in the same year as
reported on page 464, vol. 1, Hansard.
said: "My honorable friend, the Fin-
ance Minister, also proposes to in-
sert in the bill the statement that,
when the Americans shall reduce their
tariff on these natural products we
will reduce ours to the same extent,
and that if they wipe out the duties
altogether, we will admit their pro-
ducts Inc.. At no distant date we
shall enjoy all the advantages which
we possessed under the Reciprocity
Treatay." "All the advantages." note
the words, and yet the Honorable
Provincial Treasurer would now have
us believe that there were no odvan-
Wes such as Sir Charles TupperE.
speaks of! In 1887, Sir Charles
reivacting in concert with Sir L.
ille West and Joseph Chamber-
lain, British plenipotentiaries, went
to Washington to negotiate a treaty
as to fisheries, etc., and proposed to
diaceao tariff arrangements looking to-
wards the old arrangement, with no
practical results. Later, Sir, such a
treaty was actually arranged by the
aforesaid oominisaioners, and was ac-
tually named, but the United States
d not ratify the agreement. If the
Honorable Provincial Treasurer will
look at the Canadian Statutes of 1871
and 18813 he will find that they con-
tain standing offers for reciprocal
trade in a long list of articles.
Is 113111 the Canadian Ministers were

for the Signature
The success of Kellogg's Toasted Corn Flakes
has brought many imitations. But you can always
tell the genuine by the fac-simile signature
"W. K. KeUogg," which appears on the front of
the box. This signature is your guide in getting a

man, repeit, Sir, lairs Vixen- on--aftr-
ing this debate an extremely heavy
load. He has swallowed his own past
record with referente to taxation of
corporation-. the Succession Duties'
Act, the Brewees and Distillers' Li-
censes, the proper classification uf
accounts, as to Indian treaty No. 3;
but,b&-nos Sir, adds to this the Her-
cuian task of swallowing the whole
past commercial history of the Dom-
inion Conservative party at Ottawa.
Hi says in effect with reference to
those great chieftains, the late Sir
John 'A. 'Macdonald, the late Sir Leon
ard .Tilley, the late Sir John Thomp-
son; and others, "I shouted for you
in your lifetime., but under pressure
of party exigiences now 1 recall all
that, and- 1 say to you now that you
were all wrong." I repeat, Mr. Speak•
er, that this is rather a heavy load
that the Honorable the Provincial
Treasurer attempts to layeupon the
shoulders of his provincial following;
and I apprehend that he will experi-
ence very considerable difficulty in-
deed in getting them to being into
line on such a heretofore unheard of
and absurd proposal.
