It is neces- sary to -carry education to, a more ad- vanced state in the tonal districts.: There was no reason 'why the early swages of high "school work should not be carried out in .the rural schools. Almost every day he received letters from mothers, whose sons.and daugh- ters were passing their entranceex- aminations around 11 years of age. Parents 'hesitated under such circum- stances, and rightly so, to send 'ti children to distant points for higher education; yet higher education they needed and must have.. This was where our country schools could play its part. The Government, announc- ed the prune aninister, vias prepared .to give ihcreased money grants to the municipalities in order to assist in PI t f printery and secondary carrying out this ,great work, Cle ictam to cos' v lines.. The hydro" service'' charge was had beets made of the plan on the too high at :present, remarked 'the pre- d" mier, although it was cheap, all things considered, . Something must.ibe done to reduce this ser-wisechp'rge,.lne said; and make life on the farm more social- ly livable and economically profitable. This the Government at the present time Was prepared to undertake. Ag- ticulturat Ontario was the finest, the most contented and the .most prosper- ous in the World at the •l>_resent tine, he said, but even more must be done for it. The premier stated that Ont- ario consumers are increasing the use of power rapidly and that finding suf- ficient power is becoming a difficult problem. Two years ago a contract had been signed fol• getting 260,000 horsepower from near Ottawa. Since then other power had been 'bought by' the Government, particularly in 'Nor- thein Ontario. At thepresent time, ground. that there would be tnneh a. :dttionail. cost. This was not•ah. IIo'vw:- ever, the twitter was,print'arily . im- portant aad,•it;, was too great, a .goes tion for quibbling over small sums. The Government was prepared to, as- sist financially in such cases, said the speaker. Speaking,. as minister of "education, the pren%ier referred to the worts of that. dep'attment. lie told of the work being done to make subnormal child- ren useful citizens. Special classes had been established for this type of mentality and .had accomplished re- markable results. It had been proven that if properly handled chitdteat who were born sulbn'ormal could be made into useful eitiben's; No attempt was made to cram 'subnormal brains with. indigestible materials; any more than a hospitalwould overload the stomach detttic education they were given voca- tional training and learned. useful trades which made then into respect- able, wage earning, self-respecting citizens, �4•r. Ferguson mentioned that the field of education had 5been greatly ex- tended in the past few years and re- ferred to the Belleville schoolwhere those deaf and dumb from birth were taught to speak and hear by readi'ng lips. Several examples of remarkably successfulpupils of this school were mentioned, one tieing the son of a member of the legislature, who is a frequent visitor in the. House and is able to. understand perfectly and en- joy the speeehesand debates. IReferr'ing to the social legislation of the Government, Mr. Ferguson men- tioned the Bowma'nvirlle 'boys' school. Here beadtstroing yoduths were given a chance to make a fresh start in life without any. stigma of public court action having been attached to them. There also had peen an extension of the ptoba'tioe system, which was working out Satisfactorily. There was now elm protecting a widow and children fronts being left penniless by. a itwwlband's will; A court could ,n'ake. •proper -provision up to one-half of the estate, Neither could a wife leave a hitsi and iii want, Besides this 'a't the Iasi ' session 'of the Legislature, the old age pensions had—been intro- 'cluced, and was proving a great piece of social legislation.' ' In concluding,. Premier .Fefguson spoke of the wonderful development in Northern Ontario, stating that one must travel there to be really impress- ed by the North Coetn'try. There is an abundance of fine farming land. Wea- ther conditions are sititalble: fe� people realize that Cochrane is sixty miles south of Winnipeg. It is not so many years since Manitoba was re- garded as too cold to grow wheat. It is wonderful Ls opening the way agriculture opening np in Northern Ontario.
