In' the 'Province of Ontario the average post of ,educating it child in the rural, public school is 887 or, $88. • 'But we have nearly 900 schools in• •which there are 10 or less children and the average costtin these is $156, and we have about180schools where the a`v-. erage,is 5 or less and the cost there is about $250 i pupil,, 10 many cases, ton, Di, °'i{arr stated, :that. old schools are not up-to-date, and -hint- ed that in the' nearfuture grants might be based More on equipment and ependiture than on the teacher's salary. 'He also pointed out that with the establishment of township boards there would-be a flat rate of taxation for - the township which, would be a source of benefit to the shall or weak ' school. 'The problem of providing High School secondary education for rural pupils might also be solved,,as a .single section working individually, , cannot ' possibly supply this. He also . spoke of the aclvan,• tages which" towns and cities derive from technical night schools.' With greater co-operation,conditions in rural Ontario lend themselves easily to" the establishment of such schools in . country ,districts. The difficul ties which lie in the path of ,greater efficiency with regard to rural 'edu- cation are that the individual school is limited in its resources, and there seems to be a disinclination to co- operate. ' Much interesting' discussion .fol lowed, in which it became quite ever' dent that the sympathies of the'ma- jority present did not favor the pro- posal of township school boards. Mr. G. L. Brackenbury, science master in Wingham High. School, was next called upon to speak on the question of - "Two years University work being taken in High Schools." He went into the matter' quite min- utely, showing that, where perhaps two . counties, would :co-operate; it might be accomplished in, say, one centre. It would require itdditional accommodation andalso the services of, about.' four extra teachers, whose remuneration would-be in the neigh- leftkone with the impression: that he borhood of $10,000 annually. While did not favor the idea. He recalled certain advantages /night accrue Troll' the fact that the plan had been tried the establishment of such schools, in out some years ago, Tucicersniith be - result being a better understapding between teacher and pupil, also a more sympathetic interest being de- veloped ' Rey I-1 W; ,Snell, of Wingham, who is first vice ,president of the associa- tion introduced the subject 92 "Relig ions Bducatiosi in the 'Public School." He showed that by the co-operation of the teacher with resident ministers, that it 'night• be arranged to;have the minister spend a short period, during odd days of each week, doing,, work along 'these lines. It is a mat- ter of vital importance that this should fornp a part of the education of the public "school pupils. ' Dr. 1° ield and Mr. J. Elgin Toni, Public School inspectors, for. Huron County, each •spoke, briefly.:. ,‘Dr. Field said in his inspectorate the at- tendance of pupils was very good, in- deed, that the attendance officer had very little to do. Ile.; also thought the County on the whole provided very liberally • for secondary school work, continuation schools' being 'asailable to':nearly 'all :those who wished to use thein. But he said the needwas to make advancement. ' He spoke of the course in ::Agriculture recently con- cluded in Brussels and thought this sort of thing' might be enlarged upon as he considered this .training very beneficial to the young people of the con'nnunity. He ' thought something might be done in the way" of viinter courses •or night schools. HIe'said that'avhere there were two teachers in a rural school 6th elass work might easily be taken up. He did riot," how- ever, favor the neglecting of the younger children and one gathered that if it was . a case of ,carrying ,on 5th class work to the neglect of the little children, the foundation of whose education was just being laid, he would do away with the ad- vanced work. Where there were well- equtpned schools, doing good work, Dr. Field thought the proposed changi'wnuld not be 'of any particular 'advantage,, Inspector Tom said he had his ovrrh opinion of township boards; He did not exxress this opinion plainly but he ingone of the'towilships which lsacl: given itself 110 the test. At present there 500'320 townships boards. There were in the county several n )- s veal schools where there were ver,, few pupils. In such eases lisl t i0iibht they should, bo sent to another sec- tion. He considered the ,pupil in a largerschool had a better chance than one where ' the•e- were but two or threeii• a p 1> s.

He called' at- tention to the fact that the three re- cent winners of Carter scholarships in Huron had taken .their first year, in rural schools. .
