ASSOCIATIONS HELD AT TORONTO.
'Delegates from. All Over the Empire Discuss Matters Vital
to Welfare of the World Educational Ideals Are Sending
Children Away from the Country, Says Prof, Rey-
nolds, OAC., in Notable Address.
A despatch from Toronto says;—It,t
seemed a fitting thing that the great
Parliament of teacher delegates meet -1
lag under the name of the Imperial'
Conference of Teachers' Associations,
and cowing from all parts of the Brit-
ish Empire, should have assembled in
-the Legis'ative Assembly Chamber at;
the Provincial Parliament Buildings.'
Where are wont to sit the represents-
Jives of Ontario constituencies are;
sitting teachers of the youth from
Britain and all the great British Do-
minions and many of the colonies.
Instead of the member for a part'
of Ontario rising in his place, there
rose a delegate who saki he was from e
South Africa, from New Zealand,6
from India, or from Britain. Teacher,
problems were discussed from the
point of view of men and women
from all over the world.
Nor did it
•detraet from the impressiveness of the,
scene or the tone of the debate that
half the delegates and the speakers
were women.
+'Our educational and social ideals
have declared that overalls do not
go with dignity and respectability,
and that education is a means of
escape from labor," sail Prof. J, 13,
.Reynolds, President of the Ontario.
Agricultural College, in an address.
delivered at the Imperial Conference
of Teachers' Associations.
He went on to say that the un-
settled condition of rural life in Can-
ada was due to the social stigma that
'ban been east upon farm labor.
"Farms have changed hands, and
thus a mean, for continuing good
fanning praetice has been wanting,'
There have been no traditions pos-
sible with a shifting farm occupancy.
Whole families have move,, from
country to town, and there has been
a similar avant of rural social tradi-
tion. With this lack of permanency
has followed lark of incentive for
Sarni improvement ani for the addi-
ion of household conveniences. Thus
rural utilities and rural improvement'
and rural beautification lag behind,!
Country`sehoo',s have not kept pace,
with town schools,and country!
churches are dying of inanition.
"These facts are mentioned as canal
stituting the real problem of agrieul-°
tura! education. Beale new generation!
of farmers has to be taught the grin -1
ciples of good farming, with little a°di
from a farming tradition. Each new,
rural generation 'has to be taught to"
live in the country with little aid from;
a rural social tradition. But in spite;
of all, if Canada, is to maintain ax
stable and durable eivilization, there;
must be maintained on the farms the;
best known practice, and conditions oft
living in the country must be main-,
twined satisfactory to those who ares

A despatch from Quebec says :—At the luncheon tendered
him on Thursday at Quebec Lord Byng, the new Governor-Gener-
were put up; valued at $1,038,000. In!. al, in vibrant tones, told of the hope with which he enters on his
Canadian duties.
He said: "I venture to hope that I shall receive from all
citizens of Canada the same sympathy and confidence that was
given so ungrudgingly by those gallant Canadians with whom I
had the honor of serving during the war.
"Since then we find ourselves in altered circumstances ; then,
as soldiers, we were doing our best to defend the Commonwealth
—now, ascitizens, we shall strive to maintain and advance it.
To that end we of the British Commonwealth will believe that the
interests of no class, no party, no nation, may override the com-
mon interests.of all.
"We shall, I hope, bring to the duties of peace the comrade-
ship forged in the war. I shall indeed be happy if I can rely on
the support of all Canadians in the same way that I relied on the
cordial co-operation of those men that Canada sent to represent
her in the days of stress."
