Some of bolder (souls suggest .that it might Well to copy.the Liberal example a choose a young, new leader, wh others, more, timid, argue that Prem Borden is all right, if he'll only ta name -.-Unionist Party' -out of h hatband. They . say . that Prenii Borden made -a bad guess when elected to cling to a name which, pu every element of discontent'in country on edge. .In short Premier Borden is ug gainst a recrudescence of human na titre which demands that politic parties shall be of one solid color another and not piebald. The Liber party has Liberalized itself.. Ve the ansWer to that is that. th Conservative party become Conserv tive again, get a divorce, and rettu its' maiden name. The same philos ophers point out, that . the old nam will work no hardship on' the Liber members` of the present Unionist -party the term- Liberal -Conservative Navin been: specially invented- by-== Joh A. Macdonald to cover the case o Liberals who found themselves be coming Conservatives as they gra older and more satisfied with thei lot. It is recalled- that Sir Jame Pliny Whitney.who was once a Libera always found an excuse for the love his old age aby. calling it the Liberal Conservative party and so blessing the bans... The name Liberal -conservative has a face-saving quality which permits high tariff Liberals to take the oath of allegiance to the National, Policy and remain ,where they are. There areer perhaps only.two Liberal ministers in the Cabinet who would find the new allegiance•awkward and Newton Wes -4 ley Rowell is not one of them. Be -- sides, Unionist sets a bad example: Call a coalition by any other name and it has the same troublesome re- sults—intrigue e- sults intrigue suspicion, lack of cohesion and worse matters.. More- over, it is a trick that can be -played by the "groups" who might be defeat- ed or bargained off one by one but who become a dangerous political bloc when they join hands; as Labor, the return- ed soldier and the United Farmer threaten to ` do in Ontario and else- where. The, Liberal -Conservative shouters say that it - is not too late for Premier Borden to yield in thus small item of a name and that if he does all may be -happy as, wedding beIIs. -But if he esn't--well the whole is greater than. he part and 'if he tries to kidnap the onservative party and rechristen it - e Conservative party is entitled- to y it's brute strength on him. There is another point on which reznier Borden must yield if he is to rvive as leader of the Liberal-Cpn- rvative party -Rowell must go. �In- ed some say that the choice is this ay either Borden stays and Rowell es or Rowell stays for a few peril- s minutes longer -and Borden goes. r letting him stick around. Mr. owell has been definitely kicked out the Liberal party - and now that ackenzie. King has draped the Lib- ra] platform with Mr. Rowell's ocial-reform bowels . wonder, is ex- eased that Premier Borden should keep him in an eviscerated condition in which he•is of no use_to anybody. Mr._ Rowell has lost his `home with the Liberal party and he seems not to have founcone with the Conservatives '- who ask 'why they should acquire a = humpcarrying him around. Mr. Rowell = is tile one camel yotir' good old Tory cannot swallow the one Jonah that must be thrown overboard before the Liberal-C'onservatIve party can joy- fully answer the helm, o I oftenwonder why the Tories hate Leader Rowell so.. God knows he. has done his best to be a loyal, Empire - loving, tariff -worshipping Conserva- tive but he seems to be about as vel- come as a spider at a picnic. The fact is there and cannot be gainsaid and does much to prove the old saying Ahat virtue is its own reward because nobody else cares, to reward it. If the Liberal -Conservatives have their way Mr. Rowell's • brief but fevered career in •Dominion politics will' come to a sudden close. Mr. Rowell has been, .diligent, faithful, -enterprising, minding everybody's business -includ ing his own and talking the while with both sides of ids face and all b. gets out of it . is jeers for Jonah. the. ine the ent er- en- eral of ral a its the be nd ile ler oke is er h ts the ' a - al al or erq a me ine Liberal n w r s1 o MEM Ras Now mar • GASOLINE ENGINES 1-10 H.

Yes, the. rebels are_very _ sau*ey. Another grievance they urge" is that, there is not enough youth and vigor in the "Cabinet. A brisk business man is needed in the Department of Trade and Commerce, where Sir George Foster has fallen, into a trance so deep that you can stick pins in,him and not wake him. Incidentally Sir George Perley, having no further chance to clutter up the war with his imbecilities is back in Ottawa and letting the' High Commissionershjp go bang at a time when `Canada's livest wire should be on the job' of getting new business. Also there is Mr. Doherty who has reached the slippered-ease stage and might very well retire to private ife and . help grandmother teach us to suck eggs. Meanwhile Cabinet reconstruction lags -and-British Columbia, which has thesmallest ser representation a on in the P House. of Commons next to Prince Ed- ward Island, enjoys two Cabinet min- isters, a horse doctor who operates as Minister. of Agriculture, and Mr: Bur- 4rell who as Secretary of State, oper- ates nothing at all,: except sealing wax, and yearns for' a happy release and a snug billet in the Parliamentary Library. The Department of Public Works goes begging. It will probably :be filled by a shift of portfolios, the idea being to head off any, more by- elections than are absolutely neces- sary. There are eight by-elections on the horizon now, each one a cloud considerably Iarger than a man's, hand, but they will be postponed to tha; end of October so that the lightnin ,•, if - any, can be bottled until • next year True the deferred by-electiorlsl will keep the -new . leader of the Liberal party and the new Minister of Finance out of their seats for this session but this inconvenience is •not worth re- garding beside the feeling' of comfort and securit th G y eGovernment will en- joy for the next eight weeks. Parlia- menthas been called to ratify two things -the Peace Treaty, which ex- plains itself and the 'new domestic loan which needs so much explaining that. the seldom,er we mention it the better. ObviouaCly a Government; con- centrating these two important mat- ters, can not be distracted by by-elec- tions which might put a crimp in their , deliberations. It does not aid clear thinking to get a chill down one's 1 back. Ratifying the Peace Treaty is -re- garded as a rarejoke by a Parliament which has met largely to ratify an ei tra hand-out of two thousand five hundred ' dollars per. Parliamentis under , the impression that Canada ratified. the treaty when England ratified '1 i for her but is willing ton accept an excuse for another swig at the four ain of blessing. Besides - there is always time danger that if we don't ratify the treaty, the war will have to be fought all over again. As a natter of fact it was Mr. 'Rowell and others who put the "rat" in ratify but -we shall not labor that point more 'than to remark that Par- liament will say • as 'little and , do as much less as it can for the money. The times are hard, of course, but what's an odd million more or less when the National Debt is going to' make us all rich at five and a half •1: per cent? We are borrowing„another three hundred and fifty. millions from Peter to pay Paul • and the 'joy will be unconfined so long as Peter doesn't ask for his_ 'inoriey. This frenzied finance of ours reminds me elf the town where everybody got rich taking in each other's laundry. I_ hear faints . murmurs that the finances of Canada are such a great problem that they ought to be en- trusted . to an expert committee of three instead of to -.One amateur Fin- ance Minister but the voice is sweet and low and does not rise above the greater clamor fora leader with a backbone and a rejuvenated Liberal- Conservative party that will . spurn the false whiskers and green goggles of Unionism. I hear other faint murmurs that thrift, having won the war, night well be given a chance to do the same thing for peace. In other words no more borrowing -but retrenchment as they are about to have it in England and. a ruthless looping off of the superfluous war establishments which still cumber the pay roll. Now that the army is demobilize of what use can three hundred a d fifty million more dollars be except to help the grafters and feed the spongers?-. F. G. sot OUR _EDUCATIONAL PROBLEMS From the report of the Coanmittee - on Education as presented to the Ontario Provincial Convention, 'on 25th June, by Mr. Thomas Marshall, M.P.P., chairman of the Committee. Secondly, that destroyer- of interest that most deadly foe of true educa- tion and culture, the public written examination - by outside examiners must go, along with its kindred evil, home -work. The progress made by each pupil is best known to his own teacher. On his ,day by day class re- cord as .valued by his own teacher "should each pupil be. promoted from form to form and finally receive the leaving certificate of the school, sign- ed by the principal and staff certifying that the pupil has satisfactorily com- pleted the course of the public school, a certificate which should be the only pre -requisite for admission to' the high school. Even - in the case of a backward pupil, of whom it cannot be said that he has satisfactorily completed the course prescribed, d it would both un- wise be un wise and unjust oto keep him for an abnormal .length of time in a lower room. Every pupil, no matter how mentally deficient he may be, is en- titled to what benefits he may be cap- able of receiving from each and every form of the school.. It is- better to • POT We will deliver Potatoes to customers for quick delivery at $2.75 per bushel. Choice stock, and good cookers. A. HUGILL Orders taken at Jonathan Hu - gill's Music Store pr mote even a backward pupil, and all i w him to pass through the different for so of the school, assimilating from eat what benefits he is capable of ass milating, than to confine hire for yea s to a lower form.' Of course, suc a one would not be entitled the official leaving certificate of sch ol.' But he has received at rat a certain positive benefit fr his !experiences in each form, as per aps as his nature is able to assimi- late I the case of the high schools re= org nization should follow along the sam lines as those just indicated. The fads and frills must be eliminated. Tho a subjects only should be retained who' e study leaves upon the mind a per anent effect for good, even should all he facts connected with them be suzb equently forgotten. The so-called n coercial` studies should go. They nrerjely aim at training pupils too fill offic positions. They give direct en - ton] ag ment to the "away from the far " ovement. They are of abso- lute y o educational value, and the Sts_ a has no right to train any par- ticu ar class of its citizens' along the lineof some money -making vocation at the expenseof the community gen rally. T e same argument would apply to the lasses in domestic science, and in agriculture, which the Department is now establishing in some high schools, McLean Bros., Publishers $i.50 a Year in Advance course a conversational and reading knowledge of the language. The first lessons should ' be entirely conversa- tional. In: time prose authors should he read, though the conversational lessons should not be discontinued, to The grammatical knowledge neces- the sary should be cozn`znunicated incident,, any ally in the course of the conversational om and reading lessons. The formal much grammatical instruction of the texte book variety should be resolutely dis- carded, . Agr"eulture as a subject of study in the high schools will not make the fa er's son more contented to re- mai upon the farm. if anything it will have the opposite effect. Te object of a. liberal edtication is not' directly to make a man a better fa er, but to make lora a better roan and in that way a better fanner an a. ore contented one, There is n this g in a liberal education, ha vin 1' aerary and linguistic basis, to tea a m . n long for the din and -tumult a ci y. Its tendency is the very op posi e. To the liberally educated an cult ed man or woman the advantag . ral life appeal forcibly' and di rect y. - This is - an undoubted a hist t ric fact. It is scientific, technic and ocational training that induce i thei victims that restless' fever tha im + :ls them to abandon the quiet o the ountry and seek :the distractio of t e city, and the excitement alon, -th the worries of a business or pro fesw anal career. A. truly liberal edu: cati Baa leads a man to set a true vain upo. the things_ of life and upon life ,itsel A liberally educated farmer woul value his farm not merely a a m e ney-making instrutnent, but also and much -more highly as a home The alsely educated regards the a rno t of - n�ronen accumulated as tht sole tandard by which one's success in 1' may be gauged. ' A truly edu- cate ..man realizes that the mere ac- }turn lation of money is perhaps' the 'most ignoble purpose to which life May devoted. We shall never stay the oof of agricultural emjgration by elide voring to make the farms bet- ter, ut by making them better homes. In the high schools also home -work and he public written examination on pre ribed work should, go -together. The quality of the work done will then be vastly changed for'the better, andrue education given a chance to mak its influence felt. Someone may objet' that there will be no means of knowing whether the pupil will have acquired the knowledge which after his s hool course he is supposed to po - sess. In that respect at least we shall be in no worse condition than we are at. p esent: We do actually know- at pres 1� t that no pupil under our -pres- ent system does retain that presumed �. knot edge after heleaves lea e g's v the a ex mzn- ation hall. The knowledge of the facts of no subject can be retained for length of ;(sone, no matter what the' ethods employed to instil then!, unles . the element of interest was prese t at the time the knowledge was first cquired. The examination system is an insuperable bar to the arousing of rel interest. With this bar re- move our system is at least given a ch : nee. Besides, a imowIedge of facts 's not a necessary ingredient; if prese t, it is merely an accidental acco panirnent of a liberal education. It is merely the instrument used in the a quistion of an education, not the educe ion itself. It is no more really neces ary that a knowledge of facts shoul 1 afterwards accompany :a finish- ed ed cation than that a Manufactured articl when carried away by a pur- chase should be accompanied by the tools •nd machines used in its produc- tion. In he first form of the high school the w rk of the final form of the public schoo should be continued, but in a more elaborate and intensified degree, and with the addition : • of algebra, georn try; Euclid's elements and ele- ment ry science; .no other new bifurca- tion houd be made. Two second form,. should be established. In the one. s ould be placed such pupils as inten to complete the high sehool tours . In the other should be placed those who intend to leave school at the e d of the second year. No elabor- ation is necessary here. .The object of J the one form would be to furnish the pupil with what may be termed a good , Engli h education, to accomplish some- thing definite for him before he "goes out • to the world. The pupils p p of the other form may be supposed to have in pr spect three additional years of high chool. Their subjects and their work . hould harmonize with what lies' befor them. Of oreign languages French alone shout • find a place on the high school curric lum. It is better to teach -one langu. ge thoroughly than to impart a ,matt ring of two or three. And there re.historicalandpatriotic reas- ons •by every educated Canadian should know French; not know some Frene ii, but know French. - The lang- uage s ould be taught not for the sake of Its rammar, nor as a preparation for a s • bsequent course in the =lifers - or elsewhere, but in order to give pup! who completes a high school t o- yang ke o Vie. an al t.n ity a UPPER • SCHOOL EXAMS The candidates named below, under Counties, have paesed one or More parts of the Upper School Examina- tion for Entrance into the Faculties° of Education at the University of To- ronto and Queen's University, Kings- ton.
