E. A. Convention of 1925, wa:. held in Clinton on Saturday last, when an interesting and profitable afternoon was spent. The convention opened with an ad• dress of welcome from Mr. C. G. Mia- dleton, reeve of Clinton, who ex- pressed his pleasure in welcoming such a gathering as this to the Town of Clinton. He spoke briefly of the advantage to the oounty of giving the young people good schools, thus fit- ting them to undertake their life work of whatever nature it may be, Mr. Robt. Coultes, president of tne Association, who occupied the chair, expressed his regret that the people as a whole are not more interested in educational matters, when upwards of 165,000, aside from grants are ex- pended mutually in our own county, and about $132,000,000 in the Prov- ince of Ontario, are •contributed to- ward this very important matter, year by year. He emphasized the need for good education, and espec- ially the building up of character in our boys and girls, pointing out that honesty and uprightness really count for more than dollars and cents. The sebject of education should be to raise the level of citizenship,' As a rule, in our rural communities, secondary education is nil, and even the short courses offered by the department are not fully enough attended. Mr. S. B. Stothers, district repre- sentative of the county of Huron, spoke on the subject of vocational, training. He called attention to the feet that the rural chool of today provides nothing for the pupils after the Entrance is passed and that boys and girls leave school to young, also expressing his belief that larger schools, if need be—Consolidated, where more advanced work could be taken up 4 would be of marked bene- fit to the average rural child. He spoke of night schools, correspond- ence coursee and post -graduate courses and the 'benefits to be derived from such. He then went on to ex- plain the 3 months' course showing how any community might ebtain the sante, if an attendance of 25 girls ann t25 boys is obtained, the community to pay the local expenses, such as hall rent. etc, while the departmenb pays staff expenses He called atten- tion to the fact that many had re- solved their first inspirations in var- anus line e thy -nigh ins 2 -weeks' eomises at Guelph. These all tend te stimulate reading and to create a bet- ter interest in Agriculture. Mr. Speneer, principal of the See - forth High School next addressed the Convention on the subject of Com- mercial coures in ILgh Schools, and the advisability -of adopting the teacn- ing of same. He is of the opinion that a commercial course should not be undertaken without at least two years continuation work, as a stun- ent with a poor foundation does not usually make good, whereas, a boy on girl with a three years' course in continuation work, is sure of a goon position. He suggested that the 'busi- ness course could run concurrently, but did not deem it advisable to have it cora:misery. Nor would it do to sebstitute the commercial course for some other subjects, as in that case subjectnecessary for matriculation would not be taught. Leaving option- al subjects did not work well, so he thought the best solution to be :1 vocational Collegiate course. Dr. Field, T. P. S. for East Huron, spoke on Vocational Education i. rural sections. He was very hopeful of the future .with regard to education in rural schools, the general trena 'being toward improvement, but said that in his opinion the day for con- solidation was rapidly passing. Many new schools had been built and oth- ers re -modelled, which would have to be discarded were consolidation gen- erally adopted. He spoke of the 1m- imense crowds in attendance at the convention of the 0, E. A. as being due to the opposition to the Township school boards, and snggested that constructive measures would be muce !better than so much destructive erne icism, although opposition along this line was not so great as in previous years:. and on the whole, in his opin- ion, there would be many•advantages from Townshie Boards, such as greas- er uniformity and better accommoda- tion He referred to the fact that the Ontario Government was doing SO much for the schools that there was little left for the trustees to clo, and suggested that if the County Councils had more to do along this line, that their suggestions would be received with less suspicion than are those coming from the governmens, and would be more likely to meet with the approval of the people. Re advocated the use of the public schools in rural communities, to a greater extent as community cen- tres and also as Sunday sehoole. So many country churches are now be- ing done away with that the present generation are apt to become non - church goers. He called attentimi to the filet that fifth classes are allow- ed in schoole, only two pupils pet school being neeessary.

Ile advocated the use of less slang and of pure English, also of having our boys and girls take up the minor duties about home at an early age so as to encourage in them habits at thrift and diligence.

As a rug! the; only means that he nu18. asci' -be himself racially to that coun- try from which his progenitors mi- grated to this country. The grandson of a German who went to England in the entourage of the Prince Consort rimy thus describe himself as English.

No country M the world could do herself a greater mischief than Can- ada suffers from this official refusal to allow newcomers to be Wild to de- clare themeelves Canadian, Instead of refusing to permit it federal au- thority should insist upon it. Espec- iallyin the western provinces., where men from all the world establish homes, the official insistence that they must be set down on the records as foreigners still—and their child- ren's children after them forever.— makes a disastrous impression. It is not the government nor par- liament, that wants this information thout a men'e racial origin, however farafetehed, remote and utterly unre- liable it rnay be. The statisticians want it. They have always had it and want it because they have formerly had it. It completes a detail of accus- tomed bo.oldreeping. Not that it is of any official use comparable with the pol:tical damage it does in discourag- ing the Canadianism of men from all Um world who become Canadians, The figures when compiled are 'false. The man whose great-granne father Mlle to this country 11.8 an Englishman may, more remotely still, have had a Dane, or a Norman an- ceetor, and the family, in Camas, may have had inter -racial marriages. The attempt to fix a racial strain to each Canadian is futile and the fig- uros are of no value. What would be the loss to anybody if the government should become Canadian enough to chricic the whole business? Is it not enough to know where a man was born? If In Canada, be is a Canadian by birth -right lt elsewhere, the inforrnation in regard to that would indicate bis former ne- tionally, which might possess a cer- tain useful significance. The facts as to naturalization would tell the rest. If we are to have a great country here, we need Canadians to make it meat, and the soonet we centre all .OUT elterte on that the better will be our progress.
