CHATS ON EDUCATION.
At the Principal's Desk.
One of the great problems in the
development of a isystem of public
education during the past, century has
been that of devising some system of
control ,w"hich'sbould combine the ad-
vanteges ,of centralized direction and
inspiration on the one hand with close
touch with the taxpayers and parents
on the other.

JJoseph Arn's'te'in, Toronto,
The plan in Ontario,' modelled- in
large. part on methods developed in
the United States, is that of a -Pro-
vincial. Department of Education,
headed by a cabinet minister, em-
polying;a large staff of experts, con-
ducting training colleges for teachers,
setting up standards of quelificat&on
for teachers, and standardizing
courses of study and text books; and
co-operating with local boards of
trustees who have immediate control
of the local, schools. .
The local .Boards of Trustees are
directly 'responsible for the employ-
ment.of teachers, and the expenditure
of moneys in connection with the
school. Their actions are in some
matters definitely restricted by the
Provincial regulations, in other mat-
ters the Provincial Department does
not compel. but may urge certain
lines of action by the offer of grants
from the provincial treasury on cer-
tain conditions. For example, to en-
courage Boards of 'High School Trus
tees to establish the course in House-
hold Science the Provincial Govern-
ment stands ready to contribute forty
Per cent, of the value of the equip-
ment, up to a total grant' of $400, the
first year, and a grant of twenty per
cent the next three years. actually
paying for the equipment in five
years. In addition the Provincial
Government offers a fixed grant of
5120 per year and ten per cent of the
usher's salary over $600,00, with a
:art ler grant up to fifty dollars a.
year Si the virions features of the
domestic science accomodation comes
up to the standards set,
This offering grants is a rather
leasing way the Provincial 'Depart-
ment of Education takes to persuade
Boards of Trustees to intniduce new
and modern features. like Household
Science Courses, Agricultural Courses
and up to date gymnasia and audi-
toriums in their schools.
;But the local Board of Trustees hes
another very important part to play,
in fact more than one.
The Board of High School Trus-
tees is the point of contact between
the school and staff, on the one hand,
the Iertinicipal ,and County Councils,
the taxing b -.dies, and the Provincial
Department.
11ore than this, a moderate sized
Board of Trustees, personally well ac-
quainted throughout the community,
readily keeps in touch with the par
ents, and may bring to the principal
many a rumor long before he world
•teerw-ise hear of it.
In cities, usually ,:ne Board of Ed-
nc.ation, elected by the wards, is res-
ponsible for both high schools and
public schools.
In the towns, it is store common
f„r the Board of High School Trus-
tee,: to he composed of members ap-
pointed by the town council, the
may c, tote 1, and by the Boards of
enelic at, ' trustees and the Boards
eeperate school trustees.
If titr=e members were all appoint-
ed fresh every year a Principal night
well worry as to what- kind of a
Board he would have to deal with af-
ter the winter elections. As a result
of long experience however the plan
u ,appointing members in rotation for
tercc years has been generally adopt-
ed. so that each year there is the like-
lihood that some new blood may be in-
jected into the Board, but enough
member, of experience will remain to
assure reasonable ,continuity of policy.
If you have ambitions to become a
Schon) Trustee. you will do well to
weigh up the advantages and disad-
vantages of the position.
There is no salary attached to the
job, and likely very little thanks.
If you are a' business man, you must
remember that the law prohibits you
from selling anything to the Board
while you are a member.
If you are a professional man, the
publicity and public recognition, the
honour •ol the office may mean some-
thing to you.
Tf you have a genuine interest in
education, in the boys and .girls of
your community and in the future of
your country, you may see in a posi-
tion on the Board of 'Trustees an op-
portunity to be of great service, of
eervice in a way that is not likely per -
hap, to receive much recognition, but
which may he of inestimable volae to
your community
none the less.
•
Attempts have been made 1s, or-
ganize trustees
Teachers in this province are now
well organized.
Trustees equally should he organiz-
i. and should meet together from
ire to time to discuss their problems
of echool management.
There is a Trustees and Ratepayers'
Association, which is linked up with
the Ontario Educational Association.
if I might make a suggestion, I
should suggest that every Trustee
should be a member of that Associa-
tion, and should as a pert of his oath
of office, undertake to attend its meet-
ings. How else shall trustees profit
by the experience of trustees in other
districts ? Nor should it be out of
the way if each Board were to con-
tribute generously to the funds of the
Trustees' and Ratepayers' Association
and pay the expellees of its members
to the meetings. This is a small
enough contribution for taxpayers to
make to men who are expected to give
much time and thought to the very
important problems of education.

help production in the various lilies of

ted out that if the Canadian family
could be induced to eat one pound, of

ket for 100 million pounds of this pro-
duct right here in Canada, instead of

it saves money and time
Very often, in making a long dis-
tance call, you may not need to
speak to a specific person. In
n
such cases, just give the operator
the NUMBER you want and tell
her that " anyone there will
serve your purpose.
By doing this you save money be-
cause an "anyone" call entitles
you to the lower "station -to -sta-
tion" rate instead of the "person-
to-person" rate.
Even when you ask for a specific
person it will pay you always to
give the NUMBER, because call-
ing by NUMBER * gets you the
quickest possible connection .—
often while you hold the line.
* Of course, if you rlo not know the
NUMBER, 'Long Distance" will
look it up for you.
