FIFTH ANNUAL
CONV t'TIIO
i]•IIURON (mink TY TIR-$TEE$. AND
RATEPAYERS' ASSOCIATION
The fifth annual convention of
the Huron County Association of
Trustees and Ratepayers was held
on Saturday, November 2nd, in the
Council 'Chamber of the Town If 'I,
Wingham, with the hail comfortably
filled, the presence of a goodly
number of ladies being an encourag-
ing feature. 'William Archibald,
president of the Association, occupied
the chair.
The minutes of the meeting of a
163 year ago were read by the secretary,
Mrs. R. Davidson, and adopted as
read on motion of E. C. Beacom
I.P.S„ for West Iluron, and Mr. E
Fulton.
29 The president in his address said
that it is a question of vital interest
to provide education suitable for
boys and girls who intend to make
farming their life work. While he
thought it wise to leave the road
open for those who wish to attend
college, he believed the road to col -
183 lege was made almost too attractive
as it. is not in the best interests
of the country to have so many of
the youth of the land leave the farms
to make their life along professional
lines. He thought the situation was
almost tragic. With upwards of $70,-
000 being spent in the county annu-
ally, for secondary education, the
rural people have little voice in say-
ing how this money should be spent,
which is entirely contrary to the
principles of democracy. It should
be the chief object of the people to
provide suitable subjects of study on
the curriculum in secondary schools
for the rural child.
He paid fitting tribute to the pio-
1381 neers, who endured much hardship
in hewing out homes for themselves
and their families, from the wildee-
nese of forest once crowning our
61 fair land, only to have these same
44 homes and farms deserted to -day
45 owing to the fact that so few re -
71 main on the farms.
72 Welcomes Members.
24 'Mr. Spotton, M.P.. followed with
22 an address in which be thanked the
— Association for holding its annual
339 meeting this year in Wingham. On
behalf of the mayor, who was out of
town, he extended a hearty welcome
to all. The older he grew, the
greater importance was laid by him
on the work of school boards.
Of our total population, 24 per
cent. are attending school. When a
man or woman accepts the position
of trustee, he or she should feel
that it is a grave responsibility, as
he is thus placed in the position of
guardian of the interests of the
young. Trustees should be men
and women of vision and know the
child. rHiS work consists not alone
in paying out the monies of the sec -
56 tion he represents, but he should take
31 an intelligent interest in the welfare
48 of the child."
Canada to -day is spending millions
of dollars annually for research, and
he wished to impress upon the sec-
retaries and trustees his willingness
to co-operate with them in supply-
ing them with material along the
29 line which would be of educative val-
47 ue in the schools. He touched upon
39 the splendid work of school fairs,
27 and stated that there is a new gen-
52 eration arising. Public opinion must
38 necessarily be moulded to coinside
— with changed conditions. Education
232 must be practical in this age, he said.
Mr. Snell is Speaker.
Rev. H. W. Snell, who is president
of the Ontario Educational Aseocia •
tion of Trustees and Raltepay'ers,
and who is now principal of the Mo-
hawk Institute, at Brantford, was the
next speaker. He found it difficult
to choose a subject for his address,
as at the present time, so many ideas
are being put forward for the promo-
tion and betterment of education. The
Department of Education is inviting
criticism and of late years has been
receiving a good deal of constructive
criticism rather than destructive crit-
icism as formerly. The searchlight
of criticism has been turned upon the
educational system, with the result
that more suitable plans are being
evolved for the promotion of educa-
tional work throughout the Province.
The Township School Board Bill, al -
83 though not meeting with general ap-
102 provai, might 'be the solution of the
53 difficulty. (county school boards also
60 had been suggested and now comes a
74 later proposal by the Minister of Ed -
56 ucation which he proceeded to explain,
69 although not as yet convinced of the
5 best way of carrying out the idea.
Favors New Proposal.
502 He spoke of the minister's pro-
posal to have a re -arrangement of
courses, in which two years of high
school work would be taken in the
public schools and two years of
work now taken in University would
be taken in Collogiates, the idea
being to bring education closer to
the homes. In the sparsely settled
districts, the idea has been evolved
of bringing travelling schools to the
children. The more closely we can
get in touch with education, the great-
er benefit will be derived.
He spoke of the present situation
when boys and girls leave home so
early in life to go to cities and towns
for secondary education, and believed
that the home invironment would be
preserved by the new proposal of
bringing high school work and uni-
versity work nearer home. As to
how it would be arranged he was not
prepared to say. Perhaps, instead of
introducing the system into all col-
legiate institutes, certain central
schools in counties would be selected
ann these endowed with facilities for
additional courses. What now costs
from $450 to $500 per pupil In the
university could be done in eollegiatee

for from $136 to $160 per pupil. If
the two years' course now taught in
Collegiates reverted to public schools
there would be a reduetion in cost to
probably not more than 40 cents per
pupil. It would necessitate two -room
schools in . most eases, as he knew
from experience that, in a school with
cne teacher, the fifth class took the
lion's share of the teacher's time to
the neglect of the junior classes of
the school.
There would be difficulties in the
way, but the principle is good, and
difficulties could be surmounted,
and the greater number of putils
taking the courses would make it
worth while. A larger unit of ad-
ministration might provide dental
clinics, school nurses, domestic
science courses and other measures
that would be practicable. As yet
there has been no solution to the
problem, but he believed in ma:ntain-
ing for children facilites as would
give them minds of such culture that
they could enjoy to the full life on
the farm, which he believed to be the.
best place possible for them.

more present. He was heartily in
accord with the 'various phases of
proposed education as outlined in
Mr. Shell's address. He told of the
instruction in agriculture which had
been introduced into Goderich Col-
legiate this, year for the first time.
He believein giving the training
that would fit the child for farming.
At present, owing to the lack of co-
operation between school boards no
special instructions could be given.
He spoke of the increasing inter-
est being taken in the county for
musical instruction in the schools,
citing several ,centres where with
the surrounding group of schools, it
is being carried out with much suc-
cess. He outlined the generous grants
given by the Department of Educa-
tion, both in music and agriculture,
as well as for household science,
school lunches, libraries, etc. He ad-
vocated making the school and its
surjoundings the beauty spot of the
cofnmunity. and deplored the fact that
school grounds and buildings are of-
ten so unattractive.

Clinton, which is a more central
place, and it is believed that a larger

the support of all in making the con-
vention of next year a success. Mr
Fulton was appointed as a delegate
to attend the district convention to be
held at Guelph on Saturday, Novem-
ber 9th.
Mr. Farmers, prineipal of the Sea -
forth Collegiate Institute, followed
with a most inspiring address upon
education, in which he traced its his-
tory from the earliest times through
the different ages. At the present
time he believed education to be in
a period of transition, from which it
would emerge with wonderfully im-
proved facilities. The economic situ-
ation of the province is changing. The
scientific (study of soils and farm ma-
chinery, together with intensive culti-
vation is bringing people back to the
farms. The time is fast approach-
ing when agriculture will be taught
in all. schools. He thought that the
choosing of a vocation is a very im-
portant matter and believed that pub-
lic school teachers should be trained
for giving instruction in vocational
guidance.
He believed that the public school
system should be related more de-
finitely to the life work of the pupils.
While he thought that education was
progressing by means of improved
facilities and curriculums, yet the
best had not yet arrived.
The singing of the National An-
them brought the convention to a
close.
CHATS ON EDUCATION
At the Principal's Desk.
The parent or guardian who comes
to talk about a pupil's welfare or pro-
gress often apologizes for imposing
on a busy principal's time. There is
no need. Your principal welcomes
the opportunity to meet you, to dis-
cuss with you the prablems,the pe-
culiarities and the prospects of your
John or Margaret. If you cannot
come in .person, a letter addressed to
him direct or care of this paper will
be welcome. In these columns the
may tell you some of the things you
might be interested to hear if you
could sit and chat at his desk.
The Trend in Education.
Did you ever go to Kindergarten?
Hew well do 'I remember the days I
had the good fortune to spend in
kindergarten, first in a kindergarten
held in a Sunday School room dawn
in Kentucky city, later in the kinder-
garten of one of the public schoces in
Toronto.
Those too brief months in kinder-
garten have always stood out in my
memory like a day of bright sunshine
followed by weary weeks of rain.
iney mother still likes to tell how
day after day she would ask on my
retaarn what I had done at kinder-
garten, and I would reply happily,
"Had fun.”
Herself an educationalist and the
wife of a teacher, she understood back
forty odd years ago, the value of the
kindergarten as a practical applica-
tion of scientific principles in true ed-
ucation.
'How I loved those hours in kinder-
garten. Kindergarten! The children's
garden! With the songs and stories,
the games, the nature study and the
handwork, the cutting, pasting, sew-
ing, weaving, modelling our hands
were trained to usefulness, our senses
were sharpened to keener observation,
our minds were stored with knowledge
and our spirits enriched daily with
lessons in kindness, helpfulness and
cu -operation, and in the appreciation
of beauty in form and color and
music, in nature and in art.
Do you wonder that a thoughtful
child should look back year by year
