Introduces School Bill
The next speaker was Rev. N. R.
D. Sinclair, of Tiverton, who lntro.
duced the subject of' the proposed
Township School Boards' Bill, In is
very fair and unprejudiced manner
he summoned up the bill, calling atte-
n1300 to the chief points, both pro
and con. He 'thought that the rea-
6011 for the bill in the fact that with
present school boards there is, lack
of interest, and failure to discuss
matters. He, himself, was not en-
tirely in favor of the bill. Much in -
interested discussion followed his ad-
dress and, upon a standing iote be-
ing taken preponderance of feelidg
swayed very markedly against the
I1111. Those taking part in the dis-
cussion were: Dr. Field, I. P. S.,
Charles Robertson, M. L. A., E. Pal -
ton Mr. Powell and others.
In address given by George
Spotton, .M.P„ following the vote on
the bill, he expressed himself as be-
ing in sympathy with the little red
schoolhouse, and was not in favor of
seeing it disappear. He congratulat-
ed the trustees present upon their
interest, and wished to express one
thought, that Canada's greatest as-
set is the children of the public
schools and that it behooves each
trustee to be true to the charge laid
(mon him. "If you accept the obli-
gation and are not faithful to it, go
home and resign." He thought
teachers should lay greater stress
upon 'the teaching of British and
Canadian history in order 'co incul-
cate love of country and allegiame
to her laws, and also thought that
physical culture should be• empha-
sized, in order to give the boys and
girls sound bodies as well as sound
minds. Ho thought that all men
should be actuated by the same iia-
siinci.
rethat of the betterment of 111041-
141(18.
Field, T. P. 8., next was anod
'to peak upon the subject of "Grants
to Public Schools," He gave a very
lucid explantion of this subject and
many who had not understood this
matter before went home feeling
that they had received much en-
lightenment. He allowed how liberal
the government is with money given
for the upkeep of rural schen:1,
where the farming community oonr
tributes but little towards the money
need for supplementary grants, as it
comet indirectly from euch sources
as mines, forests, gasoline tax,
Limier Control Act, etc., oto. "The
gOVerMilent is -Oiliest paternal in its
tiou of grants to urban schools and
would recommend that the same be
distributed to all urban schools on
a pro rata basis.
(2) Resolved that in view of the
fact that the Township School
Boards' Bill is still before the people,
asking each 'township council to call
a meeting of the ratepayers to dia.,
cuss the question.
(3) In view of the fact that the
county council contributes so largely
to the upkeep of the high schools,
this association is in favor of the
said high schools having on 'their
curriculum such subjects as will be
suitable to the boys and girls who
intend to snake farming their life
occupation.
(4) Resolved that we are of the
opinion that if would be in the best
interests of the association to hold
the next annual convention in the
town of Wingham.
This concluded the convention,
which was conceded to be one of the
best meetings in the history of the
association.
