ships and an invitation is cordially

TOO IMPORTANT TO BE IN-
CORRECTLY TAUGHT
The Collingwood Bulletin, edited by
Mr. "Day" Williams, who, for a len-
gthy period, has taken a keen in-
terest in educational matters, referred,
as follows, to a question raised by the
Telescope recently:
"Editor Pense of the Walkerton
Telescope has been delving into the
upper school text book on modern
history and.finds that the teaching is.
based upon one published in the Unit-
ed States, "History of Europe, Our
Own Times, by Charles Harvey Rob
inson; (a professor of Columbia Uni-
versity) and Charles A. Beard. This
he finds decidedly pro -American and
contrary to British sentiment and
British ideals. In support of his cri-
ticisms . Editor Pense gives a number
of quotations, which not for moment I
should be allowed to go gefore stu-
dents in the Ontario high schools. If
there is no British History that gives
the facts fairly and honestly the Pro-
vincial Department of Education sho-
uld lose no time in having such a text
book prepared. History is too im-
portant to be incorrectly taught to our
young people."

What a story could be told of the
changes in the intervening 56 years.
