Recall Old Scho
(Continued from Page 2)
I beTieve and affirm that this
was a great school. It had a
stubborn, honest character; it
realized that thinking is hard
work - that only by the sweat
of man's brow, can he eat the
bread of knowledge.• It was a
school born of and nourished by
the integrity of Thomas G. Shil-
linglaw, but it grew also in the
pervasive strength of its own
tradition. Every girl and boy
what of his best self ' to the
broadening range of its person-
ality.
What then of our modern
schools? They are no more
builded with stone and concrete,
brick and mortar than the Can-
adian nation ,mis ;cons ructed of
minerals and luber and fertile
soil. Architectural nobility and
unlimited equipment are fine
things; far flung curricula
have updoubted value; . but
these are, after all, mere excre-
scences on the face of educa-
tion. For education is a human
relationship; it is fashioned out
of flesh and blood and the mani-
fold interchanges of the spirit.
It depends for its very existence
on the rhind and heart of the
teacher. Thus it has ever been
and thus it will ever remain.
Surely the fundamental truth
needs no further emphasis
since we are face to face with
it in every classroom.. A pettie
fogging teacher surounded,
though he may be,, by all the
accessories that the thought of
man can deviseand' the money
of man can buy, will inevitably
produce a pettifogging school.
A T. G: ShiiIinglaw with exter-
nal needs cut to the bare margin
of shelter and equipment will
as surely fashion a great school.
• Perhaps iii these days of ex-
partding educational costs, it
may not be untimely to direct
attention to a truth so obvious
that it is in some danger of be -

ing overlooked. -Let us pause
to examine the fundamentals
of education, to grasp .once
more the central fact that our
true advancement comes not
from the splendour of physical
surroundings, but from the
play of character upon charac-
ter. Let us bend our efforts not
so much to' the fabrication of
great buildings as to. the devel-
opment of great teachers::

standing eyes
Beyond the youthful, common-

Of romping adolescence to the

When man oe womanhood breaks

Things yet unwritten; new dis-

In science and in nature; all of

It has been noted by phy-
chologists that in the course of
a boy's life he is, at successive
stages, the victim, of numerous
and quaintly diversified ambi-
tions. He locks forward with
unsophisticated 'eagerness to
the day when he will become a
teacher, a doctor, an engineer,
a clergyman, a lawyer; a busi-
ness magnate or, at least, .a two --
gun desperado. He 'may even
cast longing glances upon the
Meeting the inspector in a
local undertaker. But for some
inscrutable reason there are
some callings which are entire-
ly - beyond the " scope of his
childish dream. Field Marshal
or truck driver he may doubtless
be, organist or explorer he may
justly imagine himself but there
is absolutely no. record of a boy
setting forth in life to become
a school inspector- his innate
modesty prevents it.
professional way is. rather like
shaking hands with a minor
diety- one is at pains to put the
proper shade of respect into the
relationship. Even throtigh the
medium of the printed word it
is difficult to approach the in-
spector without traces of awe
for in the school he is the Olym-
pian who carries putative 'thun-
derbolts in his attache -case. Not
so withthe old-time public
school inspector, Mr; David
Robb. Here Was a sturdy land-
mark of the pedagogical craft,
a 'bleak, ominous, bespectacled,
lonely figure clad in garments
of an ancient cut. His hat was
no common headgear. It was not
much of " a hat as hats go; it
may have been stainedby rough
weather and long usage, but
there resided within its batter-
pelling spirit. Possessing a
wealth of homely wisdom, he
was, indeed, a man of grave as-
pect, of ruthless honestly, and
of broad mind. Book -learning
beyond the practical work of the
grades was generally not much
of the inspector's line and he
was prone to regard it without
enthusiasm. Half a century 'ago,
most teachers knew ,little of
university summer courses and
their problems generally revolv-
the inspector was on • firm
ground, a ground as yet undis-
turbed by high-falutin' psychol-
ogical theory and jargon. Mr.
D. Robb was the friend and
counsellor of the teachers un-
der his jurisdiction and their
strong buckler in time of need.
Despite all fashionable notions
to the contrary, we were the •
poorer for his passing. He adds

Finally, I would. like the sen-
ior citizens present to recall the
pastoral visitations made during
the Sunday School sessions held
in the school by the Rev. Neil.
Shaw, the beloved and respect-
ed minister of the Egmondville
Presbyterian Church. Around
the schoolhouse door, in easy'
groups, we rustic folk awaited
his arrival by horse and car-
riage. His presence at any as-
sembly
ssembly took on the aspect of
fellowship and happiness. His
radiant personality captivated
everyone. Unselfishness, broad
and generous sympathy,
strength born of unyielding
faith and the eternal God- these
were the characteristics which
marked his ministry. At one of
these services there were the
familiar hymns, prayers, Scrip-
ture and a setmonette. I am in-
debted to Thomas 13. Read for
Country Church" which, sums
,up such a visit in ,appropriate
words: -
"Then follows prayer, which
from the pastor's. heart
Flows unpretending, with few
words devout
Of humble thanks and askings;
not with lungs
Stentorian, • assaulting heaven's
high wall,
Compelling grace hi -virtue of
a siege!
This done, with loving care he
scans his flock, .
And apes the sacred volume at
the text.
Wide is...his brow, and full of
honest .thought -
Love his vocatien,.truth is all
his stock:
With these he strives to guide,
and • not perplex
With words sublime and empty,
ringing oft
Most inusic;lly hollow. All his
facts
Are simple, Broad, sufficient
for a world!
He knows them well, teaching
but what he knows.
The service done, the congrega-
tion rise,
And with a freshness glowing
in their hearts,
And quiet strength, the benison
of prayer,
And wholesome, admonition,
hence depart."
•It is my fervent hope that
these reflections, all too briefly
sketched, have awakened mem-
ories of a passing era and that
you will continue to cherish the
rich heritage which is associat-
ed with' S. S. No. 9, Tuckersmith.
When your sons and daugh-
ters, cross the boundary into a
new frontier, may. they carry
with them into Centennial
School next year, much of the
them take care never to throw
away an old custom as useless
until they have found out why
it first came into use. They will
not be'the first who have suf-
fered from the folly of slight
ing ancient foot -marks nor the
first who have been sorry for
it when too Iate. May they
blaze a trail of which they shall
be as 'proud as those who came
up through the little, one -room-
ed rural school. Let the ever
remember that
"The moving finger writes; and
having writ,
Moves ott: nor all thypiety and
wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half
•a line,
Nor all your tears wash out a
word of it."
Bulbs for spring blooming are
to be planted at the church and
plans were discussed for a
work party to prepare the
flower beds.
Mrs. Charles. Friend read e
chapter from "The Greatest
Thing- In The World", which
dealt with Guilesaness and Sin-
cerity.
The president closed the
meeting with prayer after
which, refreshments were serv-
ed by Mrs. C. Friend, assisted
