EDUCATIONAL PROEM IN CANADA.

The ectool PUY be said to have

•where is the history of education so
ancient far so honorable. Not only
are, the schools of Canada the oldest
in America, but. they are also the
best.
When the French settled the hores
,ot the St: Lawrence, their explorers.
Soldiera and peasants were accom-
panied by taissienarles Whose first
%York it Was to establish schools for
the Indian populetion. Nowhere elee
were tbe Indians so treated, whether
Englieh, Spanish, or Dutcb, ex.
plovers. When children of white
birth began togrow up ba the colony,
there were schools and teachers 41
,reatly for them; and long before tho
rival settlements, to the south had
(Ione more than clear the ground for
forts an4 farms, the youth of Que-
bee were Warning their letters in a
stone schoolhouse. The first teachers
of Canada, the Recollet, Fathers,' will
in aye years be celebrating thesthreb
hundredth anniversary of their ar-
rival. The Jesuits had a college in
the city of Quebec a year before the
, lounclation of Harvard College in
-Massachusetts.
° It is somewhat a far cry from these
devoted Catholic instructors te the
Ontario Public School system of the
"present day—the typical educational
eystem of the Dominion, and (MU
whichhas been the model not only
for most of the Provinces of Canada
but also for much imitation in the
'United States and elsewhere. "It maY

intellectual leader, Simcoe, put it,
"from which more than froin any
other source, a grateful attachinent
to ktia,, Majesty, morality, alid reli-
Igibnvrill be fostered and takeroot
thrOughout the whole province."'. As
a result •larbely of Simeoe's efforts,
the Legislature in 1797 secured the
setting apart',•of a large portion of the
public lands as a fund for the estab-
liehment of grammar schools. Prom
that 'time the schools of Ontario. and
of practically the 'whole of Canada,
have been managed and Mounted by
the people themselves in their own'
school districts but regura.ted and
largely aided financially by the cen.. '
tral authority. To -day the three
grammar schools of that time have
grown to 5,869 public sehools, 465
Catholic separate schools, 145 high
schotils and a half-dozen of universi-
ties .tind colleges; there are 500,000
students in the Province; illiteracy

The lion. George IC Bogs, a school-
teacher himself in the 'sixties when
mtario was feeling her way toward
this ideal sistetn, was the Minister
Df Education for eighteen years, the
closing eighteen years of the last
century. before he became first the
Premier of his province and then a •
member of the Dominion Senate; and
he has itift on record the opinion that
the Ontario sebool syStem"is the
evolution of the best thought of dif-
ferent Legislatures, aided • and di-
rected by the judgment of men who
gave a lifetime to the task of adapt-
ing broad principles of orgamizatieti
and pedagogy to the wants and tught-
atiOns of the people for when' it was
designed." The • Same authority
claims ten great characteristics for
this system, which he describes as
follows:
(1) It is an organized whole. be-
ginning with the kindergarteti and
ending with the *university. •
(2) It provides free education for
all persons under twenty-one years
Of age.
(3) It graduates' the eourses of
study so as to avoid waste of ' time
of the pupils and Waste of teaching
power of the teachers.
(4) It provides a trained teacher
for every selt001, aided by pUblic
moncY.
(5) It furnishes a uniform stan-
dard for every teacher according to
his rank.
(6) It protects ehildren against
the Selfishness or negleet of parents
and guardians, by making attend -
ante at same! tompulsOry.
(7) It secures trustees agenet
the incapacity of teachers by a rig-
orous eastern of examination and in-
epection.‘
(8) It protects education from the
caprice of public opinion by the ap-
POintreent of inspectors during plea-
sure, and by the election of trustees
for a lengthened term of serviee.
(9) It secures economy and Uni-
formity in tet -books by plaeing their
pUblication In the hands of A Con—
tral provincial authority.
(10 It permits the establishment
of separate schools for Roman Cath -
*lice SubJect to the Same standerde
efficiency as to the public schools.
The Ontario Department of Edu-
eation has taken a very wide view of
its functions, not at all confined to
the mere management of schools. It
car ries on a vigorous campaign
=nape the nubile libraries or the
Province, improving the character
and classification of books, promot-
ing the purchase of serious 'works
other than fiction, and encouraging
the circulation of Canadian and Brit-
ish literature as against American
and other foreign writings, Hundreds
of Travelling Libraries are operated
.by this Department in rural com-
munities, and the children in. all Ontario schols are encouraged to make
the freestepossible use of the avail-
able collections.
But it is in the West that educa-
tion has accouplished its greatest
marvels. Almost the first thing clone
when a new area is opened up to
settlement is to establish a school
district, largely financed by the rev-
enue from lands set apart for the
purpose in every township in the
early 'seventies, and in part by a.
•special tax on land. Saskatchewan
three times the number it possessed
when established as a Province in
1905, and some sixty thousand
sehool-children, and, this year about
two and a halt million dollars will
be spent on the schools alone. The
province .01 Alberto is even more ag-
gressive. Both of these Young pro-
vinces have established state univer-
sities costing half a million eaela ter
buildings alone, Education in the
prairie provinces is not compulsory,
but there is a strong demand that it
be made -so. It is no uncommon
tbing for a scheolAn the West to have
pupils of twenty or thirty different
nationalities, just over from Europe
and hardly able to speak a word of -
English; but the, task of inaking them
Canadians is being carried on with
astoUnding efficiency. • Like Alberta,
• Saskatchewan has sixty' thousand
school children.
In Manitoba there is an even more
strenuous fight going on for compul-
sory. education than further West.
While -the schoOls there are doing ex-
cellent work, the cause of edtication
in general has been greatly handicap-
ped by constant condiets regarding
the, rights of the Roman Catholics
minority,' who do aot possess here the
privilege of absolutely separate
schools .which enables., them to go
their own way in most of' the other
provinces,. ,, •
In. Quebec the Protestant minority,.
carries on a separate school system
of its own 'under religious control.
Up .to the last year Or two the in-
adequate revenues of the Ptovince

GOvernment for the schools of either

Province will follow its Sister pro-

It is thought Berlin, in 1795, was

did not put odd numbers on one side
af.their streets and even numbers on

As they proceeded, therefore, the

3,042 pounds, was exported.Previous
to that date salted butter in tins had

they had never paid attention to those

AN ERA OF PROfiRESS
A Pew Facts of Which iVe Are En-
titled to Feel Frond,
Canada's trade in 1868 was $11%-
000,000; in 1910, $649,000,000, an in -
erase in forty-two years of 459' per
cent.
The exports then were $49.000,000.
Last year they were $279,000,000, an
increase of 470 per cent. •
he imports then were $67.000,000:
Lnst year they wre $370000,000, an
increase of 450 per cent.'
It might be interesting to make a
comparison. between ' some of our ex-
ports then and now. .. • •
Take, for instance, animals and
their products. In 1868 we exported
to the value of- $7,600,000; in 1910,
$54,000,000.
Our agricultural exports in 1868
were $13,000,000. Last year they were
$90,000,000.
The value of the total field crops of
Canada last year was $533,000,000.
In 1868 we had $33,000,000 in our
banks. Last year we had $925,- •
000,000.
In. 1868 the area of Canada" was
327,524 square miles. Now it. is 3,-
315,649 square miles. •
We have only to consider these
things for a moment to realize how

The King may be said to -have a

later Abbey—the worm-eaten, batter --
ed, lion -footed old oak settee which,
contains the Stone of Desfiny, and
upon whielrall the King's predeces-
sors since Edward II. have been
crowned. That. chair might, perhaps,
claim to be the throne of the Empire,
as it is infinitely the most ancient,
and inasmuch as the King must sit
upon it to be crowned.
It is not at *all likely that the
King would sit upon it often, even if
It were in his "ain Ingle -nook," be-
cause it is an extremely. uncomfort-
able chair. It stands, year in and
year out, in the chapel of Edward the
Confessor, where it was first placed
by Edward L, and it is only removed
for the Coronation, when, covered
with gold brocade, it is set under 'the
lantern, between the choir and the
altar.
Probably 'the throne most familiar
to the public is the great creation
which stands upon a 'dias 'in the
House of Lords. It is often mention-
ed in the newspapers quite apart
front the opening of Parliatnent:--the
only occasion upon which it is actual-
ly used as a seat. Often a phrase like
this occurs: "Mr. John Burns. who is
greatly interested in this bill, listen-
ed to the debate from the steps of the
throne." A beautiful rail separates
this "Royal , seat of .Kings" from the

S'ories of the Prince, of 1Va1es.
Many quaint and amusing anec-
dotes are related of the Prince of
Wales as a smallchild, one being
that he and his sister and brothers'
were invited out, to tea at some Court
lady's house, and when the hour for
departure came he could nowhere be
found to say goodbye to his hostess.
On investigation it was discovered
that he had hurried downstairs alone
to secure what' he considered his
proper place in the carriage.
It b also •reported of him that, on
his first attending atternoott church
one Suuday, he remembered- be*
often he had been told .to thank big
entertainers for their hospitality; so
on ,
this occasion he looked anxiously
about for someone to be grateful to
The only person who came handy
was the Verger, /Who, rather to his

pleasant afternoon!"
