After the evethtg ser; Rural Schools '::est Elimville and Sunshine Young People Debate Quesiion of Rural or Consolidated Schools - A debate was held at Illenvilir, ,1MMethodist church on Thursday even- ing of last week between the Organiz- ed Adult Bible classes of Sunshine and Elimville. Mr, Chas. Godbolt, of Sunshine was appointed to the chair which he filled in a very capable and entertaining manner. J. W. Skinner The subject of the debate was the benefits of Consolidated schools vs. Rural Schools in a community. The subject was introduced by Mr. J. W. Skinner for the affirmative. Mr. Skinner produced arguments to show where consolidated schools were run economically and successfully. lie compared the cost of buildings, equip- ment, salaries, etc of the present rur- al. Schools and the , estimated cost of a consolidated school and showed a large saving to the ratepayer. The present rural schools he •contended were poorly ventilated, poorly lighted and poorly heated, 'all of these defects being overcome In a properly icon- structed s'hool, °entrails located. .Wm. Elford Ma. W. J>rl ord.was the 'first speaker _for the negative." He sold the .rural school.-latif ilt strong -'characters and .an - spired noble ambitions. Eights -five per ,cent of the sticoessful men, in' the cities, had received their early edit- cation iii, a couniry school. Walking to school was good exercise for the scholars and after walking to school they were ready to study' while riding in a van for an hour or .so unfitted them for studs. Then again in a rural school the recitation of' .the les- sors by the older scholars helped; the younger and the ;recitations of the younger pupils'refreshe.d the memory of the older. The country school al- so teaches the scholar to'. be more self- reliant.' In the consolidated school individual instruction is neglected, and also the dull pupils keep back the bright. In the rural schoott eachers have better opportunities to ' study the 'pupils and the social conditions He 'thought the teaching of agricul- ture would accomplish better results by being taught in they;rural school, Leonard Harris Mr, Leonard Harris followed for the affirmative and 'dealt chiefly with the sooial side of the consolidated school. Thee had more material to pick from' for their games and athletics ,is a strong feature in connection with as bus 's education. In the consolidated school household science and agricul- ture are taught on scientific methods lis'specieltsts; - There is also the muni- cal entertaiameut • and the literary and debatiog societies. Another ad- vantage is that the country boy,,gets a high school education without leav- iing home. He .thus misses the totes ptittiorxs; ,of. the Jetties. In the_ consol- idated school the scholars meets with many his own age and het'wideins his vision and creates self-confidence. An- other' advantage is the abundance of reading material. In a consolidated sohool the scholars learn the ,lesson to give and take. Wm. Valet, ' ,:. 1 Mr. WISH= Vale was the second speaker for the affirmative. He wanted to know what would be done With the present school buildings. He _ contended that to keep up enough vans to collect all the scholars end cost of a large school, equipment, high -salaried teachers, and a compe.t- ant janitor would cast more than the present rural system. Hethought the time taken in siding it the vans might better be spent in, studies, Ile said it did a boy good ,to get away to a city college .to complete hist edu• cation. Whether the boss are lost to the farm or not her should be what.iie is best adapted for and; if a consolida- ted school would aim aft .keeping boys on the farm the profess:ons would, ba robbed of some of their bast ,men. In case of •epidemic it Ives stamped ant eas:er in the smaller schools. Clarence Routley ' Dir. 'Clarence Routley was the third speaker for the ,affirnative and gave the best address of the •i venin.g. He 'stated the attendance at a consolida- ted school was from 20 to 40 per cent better than at a rural school. Teach- ers prefer to teach in the consolidated schools and teachers adapted for the subjects to be taught could ,he the more •easily secured. In a • school with Several teachers there is co-op- eration and better results arederived Enthusiasm is created. las numbers and this helped the scholars., In the rural school with mans classes there is not enough time to teach the dif- ferent subjects to all the classes said the speaker.,l?r or to the iexamtnations the Entrance class takes up most of the time and some of the other schole ars might about as veli be home. An: otheahing pupils ;should {have the privilege of tr;ing •examinatoiaa in the schoolwhere they study, instead of, having to write amid strange ,sure soundings. The age when a hos or girt graduates from the rural school is just the age when then need the in -3 fluence of the home the most, He thought a man in any profession~' should have a knowledge of agricul- ture as taught in consolidated schools, Enos, Herdman, Mr. E. Herdman was the last speak-' er for the negative. He said that' in the consolidated school there :was too much teaching and the scholar was not thrown on his own resources. In figuring out the cost of the consoli- dated school his opponents had taken figures from schools in Blanitoba and had used the average, of ten scholars to a school on which to•,base his costs while in Winchelsea alone there mere) over fifty scholars With the rural school system teachers were scattered throughout the community and had a great opportunity for influencicg the atmosphere of tale whole commun its. In the winter time the: roads often became blocked and the vans would not be able to ,run for dasis at a time. He showed that the moral influence of the van was a danger: to' the child. The 'driver's time was ore cupied with his horses and ,there was no one to keep order. The 1png jour- ney and the long hours .were it real .ha.rdsh:p to the little . ttits; .T. W. Skinner, Mr. Skinner had three minute* ,to. reply and he was warmed up for the, occasion. He was surprised the pree, vious speaker could .not get,' beyond` Winchelsea for had he gone to Zion he would find en average of seven scholars. He thought they had pro- ven that the youth of to -day should be properly educated and that it could best be ,done with competantl teachers in a well ;equipped consoli-• dated school. The judges of the debate were Messrs. J. G. Jones, B. W. F Bea- vers, and J. M. Southcott of Exeter. They retired and after a few minutes Mr. J. G. 'Jones announced the ver- dict. While the debate was very close the judges were unanimous that the negative had won by a narrow mar- gin. A vote of thanks was tendered to the chairman, the speakers and ,the judges. • vice a" soils service ,with illustrated scripture views was given. The choir furnished some excellent musitl..
