OUR EDUCATIONAL PROBLEMS
The following is from the report of
the Committee on, Education as pre-
sented to the Ontario Provincial Con-
vention, on 25th June by Mr. Thomas
Marshall, M.P.P., chairman of the
Committee.
• It is a mistake-. to assume that
DemocracY.is firmly 'established as yet
in any mom country. Military dem-
ocracy has Many a hard battle in every
land yett‘fight before it will emerge
• from the conflict as Democracy
triumphant. The word Democracy is I
in, everybody's tongue and none mouth =
it more fredelently and fervently than
those who are its bitter but unavowed
enemies. Though forms of govern-
ment are, and have been many, still
in actual though often concealed fact,
there have been and are but two; -,
' oiigarch'y and democracy. The priv-
ileged few gevernming many, or the
many governing themselves. ' The
dominion of the few over the many has
always been maintained by cunning,
v rather than by strength. In modem
• times that cunning has manifested
• itself in the skilful use of c-amouflage.
The weakness of the masses lies in
their tendency tee- idolize the, symbol.
That which the label covers becomes
in. their eyes that which the label
signifies. The rule of the few over
the many is maintained in modern
times by the eimrle prcreos of mixing
the labs'ee e.g., the reastics demand
democrat:v. The actual rulers, instead
of opposing the demand, have recourse
to the following- expedient. From the
article ollgerchy. they carefully ',re-
• move the label doligarchy" whieh it'
has hitherto borne, and from the art-
- iele "Democracy" they remove its
proper label. To the article "oligarchy"
they now attach the label "Demo-
cracy." They now hand this to the
people, the same article which they
possessed before; but had repected.
This the masses peacefully- accept, and
regarding only the label, imagining
they have new the object of their de- -
- eire •
The same holds good in the case of
education The masses demand edu-
cation.' A number af spurious articles .
are carefully labeUed "Educational
• Subjects" and handed to the people
who are, for the time, satisfied, be-
cause they believe the labels. Hence i
the activity of our educatioaalauthor-
thee in filling the periods of the school c
time -tables With the 2o-dalled fads of
• non-educationaL subjects. "Teach the
children sewing, clish-yeashing, plough- y
ing, bookkeeping, iron -moulding, any-
thing that will make them workers but 2
• riot thinkers", and that is the very
point. When. the masses - know how,
to think,the rule of a privileged few ,T
• -will be impossible. While the masses s
lack the power of correct thinking, the t
rule of the privileged few is not in the e
elightest degree endangered, no mat-
ter under what democratic ferms the T
government may be administered.'
Ontario is especially fortunate in D
that both nature and circunistances s
have combined in. making it an es- b
sentially agricultural province. For-
tunate, because' however necessary it i
may be that certain. sections of come- b
47 or even entire countries should be s
devoted to industrial, .manufacturing p
or aornmercial activities, still life in e
crowded. centres, amid indoor, factory V
or office surroundings lacks the phys- • a
ical basis of all hap-piness, the enjoy- , c
ment of bodily health. All land ani- c
enals, man included, have their physical s
frainee so constituted "that perfect w
health can be enjoyed only i by those ' p
who lead a life of bodily activity in he
the open. air This is nature's simple a
but inflexible law for the preservation. E
of health. The fact that custaire con- at
vention and necessity have Made it
impossible for eivilized man of t� -day • of
and possibiy for many generatioes, yet W
ay come to observe this lar, does not be
affect its. validity in. the slightest de- vi
gree. Nature is no respector of erli- . in
11i:sat-ions. In: just that degree' in an
which we violate that primal law of E
our 'Wire, whether under the Compul- en
'siort of eeceseity or nbt, to that ettent un
do we suffer an actual, physical loss. ' re
which
no drugs. nostrums, research or re
medicaid • knowledge cart ever make an
good: An agricultural community - is fa
in this reepect, at least not unfortunate iti
as agricultural pursuits do not in- wit
attire the violation a this, the first
and greatest of the laws of health.
Agair, agricultural pursuits are. the
eair. e -Ree which allow their votaries

sections. Popullie opinion to the con-
trary the ordinary city pan is no

es:pression merely in orderine the de-
tails of his daily business or ;occupa-
tion. Practically and sociallY he is
.11e veriest sla.ve of the preas. Urban
populations are subject te'gusts of
political passion which, in every case
aria artificially manufaetured by the
daily Press. To this slavery the
fernier is much less subject. Hence
the habit, which originated .in, and is
covertly fostered by, our periodical
and daily press of making slighting
allusions to the intellectual capacity I
of farmers. The real reason is hat I
the farmer is less subjeet, to fress
control. He really has opinions of
his own. He lacks the volatility of
the city dweller, who, having no opin-
ions of his own accepts With readiness
those which are readyeinade for him
by others and with equal facility
changes them when the makers of the
thought -fashions so decree. For this
reason,eif for no other, a democratic
community is fortunate, which has
agriculture as its basic occupation.
For the principlesdof genuine demo-
cracy are safe only to the extent that
the habit of independent thinking, and
the capacity for dear thinking prevail
among its neemberie
