THE NEW DEPUTY WIGHT=
OF EDUCATION
The London Free Press (Conserva-
tive) says of an important appoint-
ment by the Hepburn Goverment:
]fall the appointments of the
new Government are as good as
that of Prot. Duncan McArthur,
professor of history at Queen's
University, as Deputy Minister of
Education, there will not be much
complatut. Prot. McArthur has
the rare accomplishment that he
is not only an educationist of note,
but aim bas had long business et-
perlence. He was associated
with the Huron and k7rte Mortgage
Corporation, the Canada Trust
and London Western Trust Co. be-
fore going to Queen's University.
It is not often a man abandon •
business career for academic work,
but Prof. McArthur was so deeply
interested In education that be
made the ager eanciaW-J
business training should make him
useful as an administrator of a
heavy spending department at Tor-
PreL McArthur succeeds A. H.
U. Co4gnhonn, wbo had reached
the retiring age. Mr. Colquhoun
before entering the Government
service was ■ well-known journal-
ist, being connected with Sir John
Willison In the direction of The
Toronto Globe and later The Tor-
onto News. Like Prof. McArthur,
he 1s a student of Canadian his-
tory. Several volumes from the_
pen of Mr. Colquhoun are recog-
nised es authoritative.

Dlacussing the changes being made
in- various departments under the On-
tario Government, The Collingwood
Enterprise -Bulletin says:
As intimated by the Premier,
other changes will doubtless fol-
low. The thought 1. to Improve
the service, and at the same time

tare. In the exercise of the

be sound judgment and care that

which operates the Temiakaming

useful and euccessfal, It Is cone
posed of three members, Mr.
George W. Lee, chairman, Lt. -Col.
L. T. Martin, vice-chairman, and
Cot. J. 1. Mclaren. Of the political
amltationa.or views of the gentle-
men this page is ignorant, hence
the udgment that they constitute

ed wholly from reports and the ob-
vious success which has attended
their management. Beyond ques-
tion the railway hart proved an
outstanding tactor in the opening

ern terrain of Ontario between

Instead. as a wealth -producing
area, It 1s known to the world.
Throughout the years Its manage-
ment hag been in good hands.
Mr. Lee has been associated with
the rallwsy over thirty years end
gives it the benefit of a life of
practical railroading. Lt. -Col.
Martin has had years of exper-
ience in railway construction
which has served not only the
Commission, but the Province,
well, while Col. J. I. McLaren, with
whom this page has enjoyed a long
and somewhat more Intimate se-
gnalnt•.ice, shares with the Com-
mission, and indtreetly with the
Province, that sound judgment,
that serious conaideratlon and that
careful analysts of all questions
that hare. throughout the years,
permitted saedess to be written
to respect to his private business
affairs. With the combined gaall-
fic•tlons applied to the direction
of Its nffalrs the railway has a
strong piece with the people of
--the North. Emciency marks the
management. while the service
rendered the public Is such as In-
spires confidence. Retention of
the Commission will doubtless be
pnpular, In the Interest of the rail-
way, and resent creditably 'upon
the new Government.
True, as an etfi•nge says,
"Ontario can stand a gond deal of
trimming In the Government ser-
eles 1t. Is reviving." but the
trimming must be done with care
and the efficiency of the service
always In mind. Slashing for the
political fun of slahing will not

whatever J. I. does is done well, le
done honestly, and is done economic

tloos for school purposes In town;
therefore, the board members are just
as anxious to reduce the tax rate as
soy member of the town council.
The reduction which was ordered by
the UouneIl of a further 233 per cent.
would. had it gone into effect. have
resulted in a saving of some $450, of
which the county would aonume about
hall. leaving- a net sarin[ to the town
of $225, or approximately a dime to

the cowleU In refusing to set the taz

overdrafts at the banks for the months
they held up striking the rate. How
heavy this interest 14 14 shown by the
tact that they allowed $3,000 1n the
estimates for bank interest. On the
face of it, they apparently were will-

Now, to Angela the action of the

has been explained to the council that
the teachers of the Collegiate Iustl-
tute were for years paid a fa- lower

of similar sine doing similar work. As
these teachers remained on the staff
they gradually received the maximum
fur their classes. They hare, since
depression started. received three cuts
of 5 per cent.. 2'- per cent. and 21e
per cent. respectively. and are still
being paid a smaller average salary
than the teacher. of practically any
other school of it- size in Ontario.
But It 1. not generally Understood
that, owing principally to the depres-

of 314 pupils for nine teachers to
