ONTARIO'S SCHOOLS
The school system of Onta •teed
to be the pride of the Provin i (tv
greatly has it fallen from th • • .edi-
tion t' To the edministratioc of the
.duestional affairs of the Province
ender Dr. Pvem is directly chargeable
in a great degree the present lament-
able state of affairs, and until there is
a radical shaking rap among the ad-
ministrative head& of the Department
of Education no real improvement
may be expected.
The new administration started
with the declared intention "f "rais-
ing the atatusof the teaching profes.
'ion." This was a laudable intention :
but the rnetbods employed to bring it
into effect were sot well chosen.
After producing a little rebellion
among its own followers by the at-
tempt to eurta°I the powers of the
rural school trustees, the Government
retraced its steps and made another
move by abolishing the county model
schools. This step was taken against
the advice of the Liberal members
the Legislature and of many prom
ent educationists. whose weenie
ay to the inevitahie results have
abundantly verified. Since the mod
schools were chimed it has been fon
impossible to secure properly qualifl
teachers for all the 'chords : and
great many schools. if they were n
actually closed, were placed in chart
. of teachers who were absolutely wit.
out proper training for the work. 1
/910 no fewer than 1.148 teachers we
teaching on "permits" or temperer
^_ertiflcates.
This is a teal etil, •rad nne th,

er•cise of a reasonable degree ..1 pro
deuce. The Go. eminent. has beeu rou
pelted by the preserve of conditions t
restore a few of the model sci.o cls (in.
ending one in this county, at Clin-
ton) : but the model school system
should be restored alit wai, with such
changes an present conditions may
render advisable.
Leading educationists tell US that
the model school was an excel
lent training ground for the beginner
GIVING AWAY A KINGDOM.
The Ontario Go immune' has sated
a subsidy of tiro million acres of Ind
to Macksasie * Mann for one of thew
Comedian Northern Railway project&,
This territory is about equal in extent
to a strip of !and six miles wide from
%Vindstrr, Out., to Mootreal. It is not
barren land whioh has been thus alien -
Med. but the richest agricultural land
in Northern Ontario. The grant is
made on the "alternate block" system
which has been such it curse to West-
ern Canada in connection with the C.
P. R. land granta made by the old
Conservative Government at Ottawa.
No settlement conditions were im-
posed ; nor was is required that the
pulpwood upon the lands must be
manufactured in Ontario.
This subsidy was passed by the
Whitney majority in the Legislature
in spite of the strenuous opposition of
the little band of Liberal members.
Mr Proudfoot voted against it, and if
the Opposition :s materially etret°t$th-
ened in the new House Sir James will
not he so ready to ask his followers to
endorse such vicious legislation.
NO RESULTS FOR
LARGE EXPENDITURES.
In 1904 the Provincial expenditure
was g5,2E17,000. For 1910 it was over
$8,000,000. This great increase of ex-
penditure has taken place within a
period that has not been marked by
any proportionate increase of popula-
tion within the Province.
The liabilities of the Province have
more than doubled within the saute
six yeare.
Apologists for the Whitney Govern-
ment claim that allowance should he
made far increased sums spent upon
agriculture, education• good roads,
etc. No complaint is made against
increased expenditures for such pur-
poses; but with the increased expendi-
tures the people have a right to expect
improved service. Will anyone deny 1 a
G overoment. For 1910 the amount
mowing to the town of Oolerich lesm
the railway taxes was $374.11 For
asylum charges thorium of $1.50 was
deducted, leaving SSR72 as the balance
daotunlly received by the town.

Sir James Whitney promised to Bis_
continue the granting of railway sub-
sidies, and then gave away to Macken

ri-ultural land in Northern Ontario.

The Department of Education needs
thorough shaking -up. The bilingual
schools difficulty is simply one more
Instance of the administrative bung-
ling that has been 'going on since Dr
Pyne was placed at the head of the
Department.
The Toronto News brings the
terrible indictment against Mr. Rowell
that "he can be dominated by his
friends." If the bate thing could
have been said of Sir James Whitney
his Government would not now have
so many awkward problems on its
hand,.
The Whitney Government claims
credit for spending more money on
ttcho e'• and agriculture. But where
are th results - It is eery enough to
spend he money of tbe people : it is a
differ...t matter to show- an adequate
return for the expenditure. Are agri-
cultural or educational conditions in
the Province any better than they
were seven years ago ? The policy of
the Liberal party is, not to reduce the
grant., but so to administer the public
services as to show some proportion.

danger of recruiting the ranks of the
