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. CROMARTY.

Every Bell Telephone is a Long Distance Station Tell v. FaitT1 IR E j II 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. qieciammonnmam An Invitation' IS EXTENDED TO YOU TO VISIT THE Leather Goods Store in the ,Campbell Block Seaforth p , DOME 1N AND INSPECT THE STOCK.
