M, Morris, secretary -treas- urer of the Ontario Educational Association was next called upon to address the Convention. Ire expressed his pleasure at being present,avith the Huron County Trustees and was pined to see the deep interest being taken in training citizens, for a great country such as ours. "If five fail in schools, we fail in everything," he Said. If our country is going to be great, we -must. mould public opinion and inculcate in our boys and girls a love for our country, its soil,` it assets, its. past history and a. deep and lasting respect for. its pioneers. He referred to this year, the Dithnond Jubilee of Confederation, and stated. that the future of Canada is carved out by the boys and girls of today. Forty years ago, on the first day of June, 1887, the Ontario School Trus- tees Association was formed, the pur- pose being to provide a medium of communicating the views of trustees upon educational matters to the Min- ister of Education. Things went along very quietly until 1919, when efforts were made to ,stimulate the interest of rural people in matters pertaining to their schools, with the result that at the annual convention that year and succeeding years, the rural dele- gates numbered 1,500. 'This brings. about greategreater•co-operation between school boards and the Minister of Education. All are convinced of the necessity of High school eduction for every boy and girl. He instaneed the passing of the apprenticeship sys- ten to prove the necessity of further technical and secondary: education, for at least two years after entrance. The money of the rural 'people;goes toward the building and upkeep of are not making progress, we are go- ing back," said he, and emphasized f the need or advanced meth od s in ad u - cation. He thought that education was in a transition period at present, owing to the number of small schoo1 s. Education should proceed along lines suitable foe the life and situation of. the child. Secondary education` and continuation schools are the problem of the day. Rural people are more and more interested in the rural schools. Personally he did not favor the township school board, as he did not see just how it could be worked out successfully. There were of course some good things about it, but sons of Mr. Wm. McKay of Iiensall, congratulatibg'both father and sons on their faithfulness ,and success, at- tributing the latter' not only to their ability, but also to their persistency in employing their spare time in work of a different nature, on farms, etc., whiched helped to give them strength of body as well as mitrd. He favored it was a pity that it was aimed to something in the line of Township hangover the people so long.
