difficulty. Her affliction had become

Tains end Mrs. Thomson, she was
married thirty-three years agoto her
now bereft husband and came to re-
side in Tuckersmith. Thirteen. years

sides her husband, Mrs. McDonald is
survived by one son, Roy of Chisel-
hurst,-and Sadie, of Hamilton. Also
three brothers and a sister, William,.
Matthew and John Thomson of Us -
borne, and Mrs. Edward Stone, of Ex-
eter. The funeral, which was largely
attended, took place on Sunday from

Street, to Egmondville Church, and
thence to the place of interment in
Egmondville cemetery, the services
being conducted by the Reverend
Charles Malcolm. The pallbearers

THAT REM'IND'S ME.
The Mail and Empire tells the story
of .a deacon who led the singing, start-
ing thea hymn, "I Love to Steal
Awhile Away." He began, "I love to
steal=" hut found he had pitched the
note too high. •
•Again he began, "I love to steal—"
but this time it was too low. Once
more he tried: "I love to steal—" and
again got the pitch wrong.
After the 'third failure the minister
said; "Observing our brother's pro-
apensities, let us pray." '
The above brings to mind an oc-
Ctlrrence in an Ontario school many
years ago.
A boy was to recite Halleck's pass-.
age beginning, "Greece, her knee in
suppliance bent."
Over and over again the lad would
bravely start: "Greece, her knee—";
'Greece, her knee—," but not another
word could he remember . than
"Greece, her knee—"
IFinaily the schoolmaster rapped
the boV's y s k Hackles with a ruler and.
said • "Now then, young man, 'Greece-
her knee' once more and see if it will
go."

'.CHATS ON EDUCATION
At the. Principal's Desk.
Education costs money.
(When the annual tax bills come.
around and you find that on the aver-
age about one third of the tax levy
is for ptinpses of education, you re-
alize that education costs money.
But as a tax payer, you cannot a-
void the
void.'the cost by cutting down ede-
cational service and expenditure, for
there is one thing that is more costly
than education. That is neglect• of
education.
* *
A recent study published by. Dr.
Sheldon Glueck, Assistant Professor
of Criminology of Harvard Law
School, tracing the careers of five
hundred men who had served terms
at the Concord Reformatory,' shows
that eighty per cent. of them had left
school,at
fourteen ourteen or fifteen teen
toink
up work at unskilled jobs. Each of
these five hundred had been arrested
an
the average four times before e en-
ters
n the Refer
0
matorc
g and
y had ser-
ved eighteen months there.
The cost of these arrests, four trials,
-eighteen months of detention, and the
damage wroughtby the various of-
fences, is far greater than should have
been the cost of properly educating
those boys in the first place, and
training them in some useful crafts
in which the would
take Y wo d an interest
and which would have made them
useful, self-respecting and law-abiding
citizens.
Perhaps theworst costa of all is
shown in the fact that this study
shows that eighty per cent of those
who leave the Reformatory continue
their career of crime after they are
released. Many a single criminal ca-
reer costs the country more than the
operation of a good school for de-
cade.
To be just to the taxpayer and•to
the community, our first aim must be,
not the reduction of the cost of edu-
cation, but the giving of better
education.
Educational leaders each year are
studying subjects and methods with a
view to eliminating the useless, and
increasing the useful features of the
courses. a.
We still have subjects on the fur-
riculuin which are there because of
tradition, Teachers admit their in-
ability to make them interesting;
Pupils dislike them. ]Graduates as-
sume that they must be superior to
the uneducated because of having
studied distasteful subjects but can-
not prove the case.
,'Tate still lack many subjects that
would be of permanent: value to a
majority of the pupils,
k k
The average cost per pupil per
year for high sehool education in
Ontario is in the neighborhood of
$130.00.
The average cost for technical
school education, according to recent
figures, if my memory serves me, is
in the neighborhood of $225.00.
This difference frightens many
school boards from considering ex-
tending the curriculum, to include
such subjects as manual training, ag-
riculture, domestic science, and more
advanced work in art, and music.
But the fact is the have now some
classes that are costly 'at' mfr Colle-
giate here. I estimate our actual cost
of education for pupils in the first
form is about eighty dollars. But in
the Upper" School, where we have
some very small groups studying.
such subjects as Botany, Zoology,
Chemistry, Trigonometry, subjects
requiring highly qualified teachers,
our cost per pupil approximates
$490.00 per year.
It is unlikely that the addition of
some of the more practical courses, if
plans were properly. laid and enroll-
ment assured in advance, would be as
costly per pupil as some of the work
we are now doing.

under the present law boys and
girls must attend school until sixteen
years of age.
There are a number of homes in
this district where this law is being
ignored at present.
T

Department is taking steps toten up on this school attendance

known

keeping, or in mechanical work, will
you not urge the members of the
School Board and the Council to take

do not like school now, the kind of
training they will like when they must
go to school ?
