AFORTH OUR EDUCATIONAL PROBLEMS From the report of the Committee on Education. as presented to the Ontario Provincial Convention on 25th June, by Mr. Thomas Marshall, M.PA, chairman of the Committee. . Latin and Greek should not be re- garded as foreign languages, but as the two most important elements which go to make up that complex entity, the English tongue; a know- ledge of them is a necessr,ry antece- dent to 'a thorough knowledge of our native language and to the ability to fully appreciate „ and enjoy its literature. They should also be re- garded as the unifying actus which make usone with the past, and sago , unite us in thought and sympathy -= I with the other nations of the Aryan = race. But the methods of instruction E in them should be widely different = from the methods in vogue at present. E As instruments of education, alto- = gether apart from their bearing on = a knowledge of English, ehe classead IT. languages are, when properly taught, = of the highest value; when improperly = taught, the results can only be describ- ed as disastrous, It were better that ss Latin and Greek, in spite of their great value, should be altogether ban- .

The reading of a continued E prose text shmild constitute the first - lessons. No grammatical text -book in = the early stages should be permitted. Both his accidence and his syntax the pupil should form for himself, by a km process of inductive' reasoning from = an examination of the linguistic phen- = omena encountered in the text. Than this method no better training for the ss = logical faculty can be 'devised; In = -this respect Latin, and Greek afford m material which nd other subject pos- sesses. ,They are far superior to any '= natural science.

Again, the = pupil's every' reading lesson should be = a lesson sight translation; as he = • . formed his own grammar so should S he form his vocabulary, by the logical ... methods of analysis and synthesis. Fel The dictionary should not be resorted = to until the pupil has completed his = own translation .of the portkm of , = text he may be studying, and has as- = signed what he considers the most = probable meaning to each of the words E .unknown before. By this proCees the pupil becomes a creativa agent, no a passfve zecipient of facts and ideas = poured opon him faenn an external solirce. se*, The above method has been describ- ed in detail in _Certain pablications which are available, and has beee sub- jected to the test pf actual experience. The pupil, under its inspiration, ac- quires and retains interest and makes more I solid progress in the work of masteeing the language in one year than he possibly could after several years of laborious and uninteresting work after the prevailine• methods. But we mast regard our pupils as being potentially those fox whom the high school will mark the end of their scholastic career. Some definite goal in each _subject must be assigned them which in every case must mark some one thing as definitely accomplished, some one thing well, done. In the matter of Latin and Greek what is this .to be? The answer is that .the object, so far as subject matter is -concerned of the high school classical course, should be to give the pupil the ability to read at sight and• under- stand, without the ,process of mental translation, any passage from any Latin or Greek narrative prose author, and also tp translate English narsative prose into correct Latin or Greek nar- rative prose. When, this has been accomplished, the mill has erected a structure complete in itself, but which may' also serve as a foundation fbr a more pretentious edifice. It may be added that in the conrse entire works, or even entire authors. should be read, not short excerpts selected from dif- ferent authors, which must lack con- tinuity and fail to arouse interest. The elaborate attempts to teach the natural sciences in our high schools have been most disappointing n their results. Natural science can be properly' taught only in institutions possesing an elaborate and costly equipMente.e0ar 'high schools would not be the financial biirden that they are were it net for the neeeeeliss of equis ping and maintaining for each one the:present very insufficient labor- atory equipment which the average high -school possesses. Were this ne- essity emoved high schools could be greatly increased in number, and many districts crald possess them' which at resent for financial reasons eannot o so. It would be better then to eliminate from the high school cur- iculum the natural science subjects altogether, except the elententary cience of the first two forms, for which a- laboratory equipment is net ssentia. In doing so, while we may e flying in the face of so-called modern thought on the subject, Still we are getting further away from .the Germanized ideal of education. We may do this the -more readily when we onsider that a liberally educated min eed nbt be a scientist, and conversely, hat a scientist need not be a liberally = E..' 11 educated man. Adequate provision for scientific instruction, however, should be made. A limited number of acientifie and technical schools,- fully equipped, should be established in certain urban centres, erected and maintained at the expense of the Province. Admission to, these schools should be open to those pupils who have passed through the first two forma of the high schOol. To in some measure equalize the burdens of expenses on those who at- tend hes sliould b. cluirged in tit* case of those pupils who reside in the a.ma =Nr. i IMO Second Hand Engines i . - . _ _ _ _----- and Separators _ _ _ = , for Sale _ _ ....

This cer- tificate should entitle its recipient to admission to the university and to the special course lilading to any pro- fessions. The principles which have been already laid down in the matter of public school prornotiens should ap- ply to the high school as Well. In any system of education the most important factor is. ,after all, the teacher. He is the pivot of the sys7 tem; if he fails the system fails. Great care should be taken to see that the teacher possessed high qualifications, personal, professional, scholastic and, cultural. In addition to high acad- emic standing every teacher should receive the most thorough pfofessional training. That training he should re- gard as being intended to influence his teaching in every particular, not as something to he forgotten as soon as he :leaves the normal schpol Of the faculty of education, as is se oftet the case at present. In passing we may remark that the methods and the pol- icies of these -last nained ;institutions need the efforts of the reformer quite as 'much as do our public and high schools. Under an educational.system such as the' one outlined 'above much more - would he expected of the teachers than is the case under the present regime. From being a mere hearer of red* tionsleas at present,- 1e would be ex- pected to become a teacher in fact as well as in name. But we must realize that a person possesSingethe qualifica- tions and accomplishments i;vhich we expect the teacher to posses could'in all probability command, in any other walk of lifer a much higher remunera- tion than he is ever likely to receive as a member of the teaching profes- sion. The Work of the teacher must necessarily, ever be, to a certain ex- tent, altruistic as to its motives. Some compensation should therefore be pro- vided which would be unadvisable in other walks of life, It is therefore proposed that the Provincial Govern- ment. shauld paY• thirty per cent. of the salaries of all teachers, instead of the meagre percentage it now contrib- utes; also that every teacher after twenty years of service shall be 'en- titled on retirement, to receive from the Previneial Government a life pen- sion arranged on the following scale: (a) After twenty yearsof service a pension shall be allotted him amount- ing to fifty per cent. of his average salary during the' last five years of service; (b) after twenty-five years of teaching, to sixty-six per cent. of such average salary, and (c) .after thirty years of teaching seventy-dve per cent. of such average salary; fur- ther, that the teacher should be called on to make no contributions from his salary to any fund from which this pension may be paid, and that the Provincial Government pay back, with interest added, to every teacher what- ever sum he or she may already have contributed to the Government super- armuation fund. The text -book iniquities of the -pres- ent educational regime in Ontario have been many and various. The mere act of admitting one text -book on any one subject to -the schools and ex- cluding all other test -books on that subject Is In itself a hardship and an act of tyranny. Men are not machines; and it is difficult to find two teachers whose methods of teaching do not differ 'to some and in many vases to a very considerable extent A certain text -book is suited to the 'methods of teneher.- Ae.but_absolutely unsuited to those of teacher B, both teachers may be equally good, but the text -book Which gives genuine inspiration to the teaching of A may prove a positive incubus to the teachipg of .B.. In any ease either teacher,' can aceomplish. mere with the text -book which he pre- fers. _ eele JUNIOR MATRICULATION EXAMS The following list Contains the names of the candidates who were successful hi whole or in part on the Pass Junior Matriculation Examina- tion.

AN OLD TIME ELECTION t Port Huron, Mich., Sept 6, 1919.. A sh rt time ago Mr. Isaac Carling, Barrist r, of Exeter, gave me a copy of the poll books for 'the townships of Inic ersmith and Hay at the elec- tion in 1867 in which his father, the late Is ac Carling, was the Conserve- tvie ea didate and Robert Gibbons, of Goderie was the Reform candidate for the Ina/ House. The eleetion was held in the harvest seasetetand there were tsiro days' voting, and as this was prier to the introduction of the ballot every man's name was -taken down and he voted openly fer the can- didate of his choice. ,In looking over the Tucleersmith poll I find very fend men are now alive -,who voted at that election fifty-two years ago, which was the first, election after Confederation. I was a, boy just eight years of age at that tinse, but I remember it was bitter'? contested. 'This was before Seaforth was incsfporated and all south of the Huron Read voted in Tuckersmithe and the voteswere all polled at one place. When the poll opened- the first day, the first vote cast was by William 'Bell and the second vote cast was by Robert Mc- Arthur, both of whom voted for Gib- bons, -who received nineteen votes be- fore MrS-Carling had any, but he then got four in succession, viz: William Westicoat, Thomas Foster, James Mc- Bride and Samuel Wallace, At- the elose of the poll the first day Gibbons had 126 votes and Carling 41 votes. At the -opening of tt-te poll te second day the ,first two voters were Hugh McMillan and JohnS-Templeton, both of whom voted for Gibbons. George Sproat was reeve that yhar anei my father, John Doig, was deputy rheve, both supported Gibbons. Xt the close of the poll the second day Gibbons had 312 votes and Carling 129, leaving Gibbons with a majority of 183. . 1 find that three Presbyterian ministers, John ROS, William Graham and John Logie voted for Gibbons. On examin- ing the list I also find the following Grits still alive who voted at that election, Robert McCartney, John Doig, Thomas Hill, William, Forsyth, Dun- can McGregor, David McIntosh, Geo, McKay, Alexander Buchanan and Miles McMillan, and two Tories, viz: John Fitzgerald and George Stanbury. There May be others that I do not know, ..On the face of the returns Gibbons' had only ten of .a majority, but he -was unseated as, a number of his vote e were thrown out on account of the voters. being Germans, princi- pally in Hay township, and not hav- ing been naturalized, and Mr. Carling held the seat until 1871 when he was defeated by his old opponent Robert Gibbons i who held the seat until he resigned in order -to be appointed sheriff f Huron County, and was sue- ceeded , y the late Archie Bishop who held th seat continuously for twenty- two years. On the same days a Dominion elec- tion was held in south Huron, M. C. Censer n being the Liberal candidate. This as his first contest and an eloque t, able and fearless candidate he wa z, His opponent was Elavid ._ Hood itchie, a Scotch Tory, who liv- ed on the Bayfield Road F in Stanley towns ip. Cameron was elected by a subst ntial majority. In orth Hum the candidates for the 1 cal House were Thomas Gibson, Libe 1, and William Hays, Conserva- tive. Mr. Hays was elected but Mr. Gibs n redeemed the riding in 1871 and eld it for many yeaes. Mr. vrni eleacl was the Liberal candidate tfaid was elected for the House of Com ons in North Huron at that 'tun This election was . also hotly eon ted and I remember my brother, I Ail ii, leavfni tile: harvest ileld in A .1 McLean Bros, Publishers $1.50 a Year in Advance Tuckersmith and going north on the stage to Howick to vote for White- head and Gibson. After this election Sir John A. McDonald was appointed the first preMier of the newly formed Dominion and John Sandfield Mc- Donald -was the'first premier of Ontario. Both governments at their inception were supposed to be toala.. tion, but it was not long till both were charged with being Tory; eni the Globe, at this time which was very ably edited by the late George Brown, vigorously opposed both, At this elece tion Edwatel Blake and Alexander McKenzie had been elected to both houses and were leading a strong op- position in both to the two McDonalde., At the election in Ontario in 187e the Sandfield McDonald administra- tion was defeated end Edward Blalet was chosen the first Liberal prerniese of Ontario. Blake, in my judgment, was the greatest orator 1 ever htard either in Canada or the United State' not even excepting the silver-tongued Bryan. Some time after the first, Liberal administration was formed the Costigan set was passed which abolished Dual Representation, and Blake and McKenzie retired from the local House and Sir Oliver Nowt succeeded Blake as premier of Ontario. Meanwhile Blake and McKenzie colb timed their assaults at Ottawa against the administration of Sir John Nee Donld until 1873, when after %he ex- posure of the Pacific scandal, the Me- ; Donald Government eesigned, and Alexander McKenzie formed a Liberal AdraMistration which continued until 1878 when he was deafeated by tilt. National Policy.. W, M. Doig. SEMI-ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF W. M. S. There was a large -attendance of interested women at the semi -annuls/ conference of the Huron Presbyterial Wornen's Missionary Soeiety held in the Presbyterian church, ,Blyth, on Tuesday, September the 9th, the various auxiliariesandMission Banda being well represented. The mornings session commencing at ten o'clock which was conducted by members of .the Smith's Hill Auxiliary, was open- ed by a scripture reading by Mrs. Warner, W. Walter, and prayer by Mrs. A. Young Henderson. The min- uets of the previous meeting were read by the secretary, Iris's H. - Graham, of Seaford), followed by remarks by the Treasurer: Mrs. I., O Greig, of Seaford.). Interesting and eomprehensive reports of the General Council. in Toronto and the provincial meeting ill. Guelph were readby the delegates, Mrs. Georg4 Telford, Of Blyth, Ind WsW. ittir;,-, of olifitta. Iwo Amen Clark, of *. Leyburncontributed a very helpful - recitation entitled "Fractions." Much progress in. connection with the Forward Move- ment was reported by the eorrvener, Mrs. R. D. Rose, of Auburn. Mrs. S. eLean, of Egmendville, closed the morning session with prayer: A bountiful lunch to which the panthers of Presbytery arid delegates were in- vited, was provided by the Blyth ladies. - Mrs. W, Warnoch, of Goderich, pre- sided at the afternoon session Which - opened at -two o'cloek, and Mrs. /X Strachan engaged in prayer. The Principal feature was an inspiring- tstddress by Rev, A. E. Armstrong,. M.A., of Toronto, descriptive of tradi- tions in the various Canadian Prese byterian mission stations in Formosa, Corea and China, visited by him in his 'capacity as Assistant Foreign Mission Secretary on a recent trip to the Orient. lie.described the Japanese system in Corea as the German ma- chine and the situation there that a Belgium over again. In China be held a conference with sonie of the - prominent ehrikian Chinese business men who had been brought into touch with Christianty in Australia and whes upon returning to their own country became proprietors of large depart-' mental stores conducted along modern lines and other business concerns. In response to a proposal made by Mr: Armstrong as agent of the Canadian Presbyterian church to establish a hospital with a- Canadian 'stafffif- teen, of these merchants pledged the SUM of $50,000, and a site, valued at $80,000, is likely to be donated by the city officials, most of whom are heathen, so much do the Chinese appreciate the self-sacriheing work of the Medical Missionary. Mr. Arra- strong said that if the eongregations even doubled their donations to the missionary funds, it would not do any more than maintain the work as it, is at present, owing to the excess of money exchange rates and' the high cost of living. They should treble their -contributions. Rev. D. McIntosh of Brueefield, conveyed the greetings from the Peesbytery in a very happy manner, Miss Rennie, of New Ham- burg, Provincial MiSSi071 Band Seere- ta.ry, gave an interesting address on the work of her department An im- pressive part of the programme was the presentation by the Prisident.
