IN MEMORIAM.
Thou art gone to. the grave, but we
will not forget thee.
Though sorrow and darkness encom-

Our 5av,:our has passed through itis

And the lamp of his Jove, is thy
guide through the gloom.
Thou art gone to the grave, we no
longer behold thee,
Nor tread the rough path of the
world by thy Side ;
God gave thee, he took thee and he
will e-estore thee,

the haven he .will guide.

And do their silken leaves display'

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

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

teachers in a well ;equipped consoli-•
