It would be a crime against the youth of Ontario to allow them to leave ectooi at fourteen and face the keen cempetibion of the world unpre'p'ared. The Act is work- ing fairly smoothly andr effectively: with very little hardship to rural. people, but ,stimulating u:s all to make provision for the proper education of adolescents. We need a •different kind of school rather than the abolition of the Act and let us study how to pro- vide it. May we hope for the witiii- dxawat or defeat .. of this motion be- fore the Leigissilature. The 'process of education has only well commenced at fourteen years of age. Adolescence is pre-eminently the •criminal age when - nio,st first commitments Occur and when most vicious careers are begun. It is the adolescent years - rather. than the first seven years that count. - We must keep fully abreast in educational standards with the people with whom we intermingle and trade. Now what -are the educational stand- ards of these people? Ontario is more immediately surrounded by the states of New York, Pennsyhrania, Ohio and Michigan than any other territory. The people of Ontario will have.to compete _with the people of these states in all indrastria'1, 'agricurtural, and commercial pursuits. In noire of these states is the age of full -tinge or part -tinge 'compulsory education below sixteen years; in Michigan, New York and Illinois it is .eighteen years and in Wisconsin seventeen years. We have as bright mends and as keen: in- tellects in the youth of Ontario as are. found •anywhere. 'Let us give them -a square deal.

It is but a comparatively few years since Northern Ontario was on the neap merely as so much space. To -day from out of that area are ,conning minerals which make Ontario, the largest min- eral producing province in Can- ada, and from its timbered areas millions of cords of pulp- wood are being cut. It is re- ported that flowing into James Bay are seventy-four rivers, each with its bankscovered with pulpwood species. Ontario 'certainly has a proverbial "gold • mine" in her northern areas.
