DEFENDING ,THE INDEFENSIBLE
In a memorable tribute to Disraeli,
then dead, Gladstone said of his great
rival.that his most outstanding qual-
ity was his "high political courage."
There are few, I imagine, outside his
special heechtnen in a portion of our
press, which constantly beslavers him
with foolish flattery, who would say
quite that of the Hon. Mr. Rowell -
unless, indeed, they intended to be
slyly humorous. But there is about
that geutlernan, at times, a certain
smugeffrontery which passes mus-
ter for courage, with those whose
interest it is to boom him as courage-
ous.
This engaging quality of his was
very much in evidence in the speech
that he made at Port Hope last week.
He did not, it is true, attempt to
-deny that Union Government, of
which he is a member, is exceedingly
unpopular For that unpopularity,
- however, he assigaed a reason. which
must have lksen eminently satisfac-
tory to °tie so obtrusively conscious
of his own virtue as he is. What
was the reason Well, Union Govern -
merit, it seems, is unpopular because
it is -so good!
"Union. Government," he said, "was
put into power to do things which
the country needed to have done, but
which no party govermnent was will-
ing to undertake, and the question is
not whether Union Govermnent is
popular, but whether Union Govern-
ment has done right; has served the
public interests. The fact is that
Union Government has dealt with the
great national problems from the
standpoint of the public need and the
public interest,regardless of 'whether
their action would be popular or un-
popular. And the net result is -and
it cannot be gainsaid -that outside
he boundaries of Canadathe name
of Canada never stood so high aseit
does to -day; and no country which
took part in the war has suffered so
little from the inevitable results
which follow prolonged' participation*
in a great war. Canada has eraerged
from the war with her credit enhanc-
ed at home and abroad, and she faces
a new, year of peace with -brighter
prospects and a more aesured future
than in any year of Canadian his-
tory."
Now, if it be true that Canada
occupies so enviable a standing in
th I
a
0,
e.
r.
e,
the eyes of the nations of the ear
to -day, I cannot see how this can b
said to be the "net result" a th
government's course in office. If th
name and fame- and credit of Ca,nad
stand as high as they admittedly d
that is due, in the first place, to th
yalor of the Canadian troops. In th
second place, it is attributable to th
grit and fibro of the. Capadian peopl
But one is unable to understand wh
Union Government should claim th
credit for either the one or the othe
Indeed,. for the rifts that are ahead
• -apparent .within our national lut
the chief, if not the sole, resporisibil
ity must be borne by Union Govern
merit.
Let me explain what I mean. Milo
Government obtained office on a fats
issue and by means of an iniquitou
Elections Act expressly designed t
despoil Canadian citizens of th
franchise. Under the specious guis
of war -time exigency it passed in
numerable orders -in -Council of th
most autocratic and arbitrary kind
It redetced the legislative capacity
of Parliament to a nullity, and de
"primed it even 'of its time -hallowed
functions as the "grand inquest of
the nation." It set aside the consider
ed judgments of our courts of law.
It encouraged., inquisitorial methods
euch as were intolerable to free men
in a land supposedly free. It de-
stroyed the freedom of the Press.
In short, in a diversity of ways
and on nearly every hand, it struck
at Freedom. And these things have
seared =Ten's very hearts. Therefore,
I maintain that I am right in saying
. that for nearly all the unrest and un-
zettlement in the country to -day the
government must bear the responsi-
bility. . It has inflicted intolerable
grievances on men who cherish the
rights offree citizenship. Its over-
weening insolence and arrogance and
high-handedness have dealt a heavy
blow at our national spirit,' just as
theedevious methods by which it ob-
tained office constituted the gravest
poseible impairment of our national
unity.
Yet in the face of these rank offenc-
es, we are told that if Union Govern-
ment is so unpopular it is onlybecause
it is so good! Away with such unctu-
ous nonsense! Union Government
has menaced the constitution inas-
much as it has deprived the people
of the rights guaranteed to them wi-
der the constitution. That is the
head and front of its offending. In
• view of that dire offence, all Mr.
Rowell' s special pleading, as to the
importance and beneficence of the
legislation that Union Government
has passed, becomes almost meaning-
less.
The truth is that Mr. Rowel?s whole
theory of government seems to be a
false one. Even if I thought Union
Government's record as good as he
apparently thinks it, even if I deemed
it as good. as I do, in fact, deem it
to be bad 1 should yet desire its down-
fall, *at the earliest opportunity, on
the hi het grounds a public policy.
It is all Very well for Mr. Rowell to
claim that Union Government has
'dealt with "great national" problems
from the standpoint of the public
need and the public interest regard-
less of whether their action would be
popular or unpopular!' That is not
the chief test of governmental merit
in a democratic countrY.
In such a country the supreme test
•
is whether the government's course,
both legislative and administrative
• has been accordance with the wish:
es of the niejority of the people.
judged by that standard, all Mr.-
RowelPs elaborate argument as to
the excellence of Union Government's
achievements falls to the ground like
a house of cards. For., as regards
the great majority of the measures
which he is so proud that Union
Government has placed on the statute
book, it is an incontrovertible fact
that the people gave no mandate for
them and were not consulted on them.
"Not what the . people want, but
what we think the people ought to
want" -that seems to be the kind o
legislation that commends itself to
Mr. Rowell and those of his way of
thinking. To those of us, however,
who have been bred in the belief'that
democratic government consists , in
giving legislative and administrative
effect to the will of the majority of
the people, any theory of this kind ap-
pears the very negation of democracy.
And when he eeeks to justify Union
Governinent's record (and, presumably
also its preposterous clinging to office
to -day in defiance of the distinct un-
dertaking at the time of the last elec-
tion that the coalition was for the
period of the war only) on the ground
that, though the people may not like
these things, yet they are very good
for them, he is, in fact, seeking to
defend the indefensible. -The States-
man.
OUR EDUCATIONAL NEEDS
Dr. Sandford, of the Faculty of Ed-
ueation, speaking at the People's
Forum in Toronto lately, expressed
the view- that our public schools shonld
not .give so, much time to the three
We cannot 'support this view.
To our mind, the three It's have lats
ely been much neglected for the study
of useless fads. We would rather say,
emphasize the three It's and see that
the foundations of primary education
are solidly laid. It is obvious, too,
that no one departhient or *phase of
education should. be ernphatized at the,
expense of another. For instance,
technical educktion is most needful
and valuable, but if in the ardor of
itS pursuit the humanities are lost
sight of, then the broad culture and
idealism of the classics abandoned and
forgotten win leave the mentality of
our youth hardened and materialized
and ,horizoned by. the common things
of the day. Anyone who knows the
vicissitudes of education, educational
programmet, and educational methods
in Ontario during the past thirty years
realizes full well that the essentials
of elementary' education haveofteii
been done a grievous wrong to, be-
cause of fade introduced.
In education, we must get* down to
rock -bed sense, and emphasize in our
work subjects which are the key to
the pursuit: ofall knowledge. There
is nothing worse than a scrappy or
haphazard education.
We have had object lessons, nature
study, and now there is a craze for
physical culture. Yes, and the boys
are learning to sew...! Think of what,
we lost in the public school of forty
or fifty years ago. In those good old
days we tramped -three or four miles
to school in the country and physic-
ally there was no stoop to our shoul-
ders and no kink in our mental make-
up. Why did the boys and 'girls of
those days develop biter into excel-
lent. scholars?_ Because the teachers
in those days, entirely innocent of the
complex curriculum of to -day, im-
parted with -fulness the knowledge
which they possessed.
The writer holds in 'reverence of
memory the good old teachers of his
boyhood who had received a eevere
and thorough training itt the schools
of Scotland and Ireland. What they
knew, they knew and imparted it.
Let us boldy - say that the public
school hauliers of to -day lack genuine
and thorough scholarship. They are
the product of a machine that plows,
harrows and scuffles. The -rotary crop
duly appears in season; but little
abundance' of -,eain blesses and cheers
the husbandman.
Now there is a cry for consolidat-
ed schools. Where, we ask, has there
been one set up that has made good
returns? The teacher who cannot
teach twenty or thirty pupils success-
fully will he a failure, too, in a con-
solidated school of one hundred pupils
with three masters. What is needed
to -day is permanency in the -teaching
profession and a larger supply of male
teachers in country schools. Then,
above all, we need more scholarly
teachers in all our sehools, both public
and high. Drive out all pedantry and
pretension and place a premium on
originality and thoroughness.---Grac-
chus,
