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, Might have hewn obviated by the e 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. FHESIGN : GODERICI4 ONTARIO • Sir James Whitney promised to Bis_ continue the granting of railway sub- sidies, and then gave away to Macken zie and Memo two willies acres of ag- ri-ultural land in Northern Ontario. Trust not in Sir James' promises. Editor Zeller in South Huron and Editor Herr in North Huron are can dictates for Parliamentary honors. They ought to be elected as a mark of appreciation of the good services they have r'er.dered their respective com- munities. 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. te benefits from the increased ex- • that educational affairs in this Prey.penditures, ince are in at, more backward state th an they were seven years ago What has the Whitney Government done for agriculture? Where are the gold roads? There has been a vast increase of expenditure without any results to show for it of "SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE IS SAUCE in- FOR THE GANDER." Fre ix en el nd ed et e n re After winning the election on such I cries as "The Uninn Jack is good' enough for me," "Canada for Cana- dians," and "Beep Canadian money at home," Mr. R. I.. Borden placed him- self on the payroll of (Canada s t $12,000 a year, plus $2.600 sessional indemnity, and tben immediately proceeded to take a holiday and spend his good Canadian money on the golf links at Atlantic Oity, U. S. A. Are there no golf links and holiday resorts in Can- ads zed? Premier could have pat- roni The above comment in The Grain h at Growers' Guidepublished at Winni- x- peg, was severely rebuked by a Win- t I- r within ireasen,that Mr. Borrden bad a perfect right to play, golf exactly where be pleased. The Guide retorts : "Of enure'. Mr. Borden has a perfect right to play golf exactly where he likes. and we hope he will always play golf wherever it will do him the most good. Ile earns his holidays, so should spend them wherever they will bring him the greatest benefit. We wish. however, that Me. Borden would allow the farmers and all other 'Una len citizens to spend thl* money The Onderich Star appealed to Fear Gary's speech at the Colonial Institu as evidence in support of its conte tion as to the significance of the el tions on September 21st.

Elliott says that Mr Proudfoot's law practice keeps him busy, without his duties in the Legis ature in addition to be attended to But Mr. Elliott fails to show that Mr Proudfoot bas in any respect neglected is duties as a member of the Legisla- ure : in fact, the member for C etre Huron bas in one short term taken a place as one of the most prominent men in the House. The fact that Mr. Proudfoot is "a busy man" is no dis- credit to hium. Possibly it would have been more to the credit of Rev. Jos. Elliott if he had been busier the last few years than he bas been. writes: War some time I had been in a low, depremed pion.

Now that a normal eet.noi course is uecessery, with the longer and more expensive term. three who take it must determine beforehand to spend at least a considerable number of years in the profession, in or -der to justify the invest meat of money in their training course. From this there is a danger of recruiting the ranks of the teachers with persons who, although they find themselves unsuited to the work or out of sympathy with it, feel impelled to continue in it. Another result is that the norma! school chewed ate made up almost entirely 01 young women. the young men finding it easier to entire occupation in other lines (if elopky meat. And the net re - stilt is that a great many of the reboot children are without competent in- sttuctors. The Liberal party is thoroughly in sympathy with the desire to reach and to maintain a high standard in the teaching profession. It is due to the growing generation that they should be equipped for life with a good education, and the serve:ex of bright and clever men and worsen must be seenred for our schools by the pay- ment of •dermato salarles.
