Mr. Ferguson had '05s ' called in Dr. Merchant to make a thorough `mid survey of the system of education, with a d view to improving'the curriculum in the public schools. An effort was to be made "along the lines of simplificationo` Dr. Mer- chant was also to confer with him (Mr. Martin) in regard to some changes in the ` )0 "rural schools and be strongly favored some- ust thing thatwas going to give the boys and ` girls of the rural school a better chance. type. I may say there wiillbe some radical ? t. changes, added the speaker. `zed! One matter was referred to. The pre- 11??! sent readers did not describe adequately ate; conditions in thetcountry. A `bookvwas like- )art- 1ysi- ly .to -be authorized which, it was thought, was a vast improvement on the one now in use, with stories about the pioneers, a H country 'boy's creed, lessons on. the soil 3' and numerous other themes of interest to the country boy.

In these days .when men were not making as much as they were a few years ago they wanted to see what they did make well spent. ' A Reference was m-ade to the splendidly equipped schools in the larger places, to the new school in Sarniaerected at a cost of $750,000.00 with a swimming pool and all modern equipment. Seven bf these large schoolsrhad been constructed in the province recently. If all this money was going to be spent in the towns and citiesvit was high time that the farmers` boys and girls were going to get an education that would the better fit them for life. As far as in my power I am going to see to it that the boy and girl on the. farm get a square deal," de- clared Mr. Martin. ' How Improve Present Schools? The Consolidated school did not seem to be pular. The great argument against it was a e me were no. ye goo 1 path t th ds + t dl * enough. The question was, `what can we do with the schools that we already have? It appeared to him that the whole idea had been wrong. The aim of the pupil in the public school was to pass the Entrance examination, only to get into the High School. The next step- was to pass the Matriculation or Normal, Entrance in order - to go on to University or. Normal school. e. This meant` a `professional career, and there at were those who would say that there were lg already too many doctors and lawyers. The as technical school had solved the problem sol at far as the cities were concerned. Only a re small percentage of people could he lawyers rs `or doctors. The great majority would have -to earn their living by manual labor. Headed in Wrong Direction Speaking of the present situation on the d farms, the Minister of Agriculture stated *1 that the farms were tremendously under 8 staffed at the present time, In one county 9 five hundred more men could be 'placerl~if 0 they could be obtained. What was the use lof bringing others in, if the farmer could 8 not keep his own soil on thrfarm? Our 8_ educational system apparently had been - f headed in the wrong direction. -What was V necessary was to instil into the boy and l girl at an early age the love of the farm and 3 of the country. There was no better or \more honorable occupation than that of 3" farming. At present it was not bringing adequate returns but Mr. Martin was sat- , isfied that the pendulum would swing back, ` l and farming would again be as profitable as 5. .4 I wo 4 ever. . V _ . " e, In "Ontario we must follow special lines, chi; said Mr. Martin. If we are going to show the boys how to become better farmers, we must '1 start young. The place to start is in the am public school. If you "leave it until the secondary school is reached, you are going . to be too late." - I _ . ._ -- - vvulu. ucu uevuu` value A lot of money had been spent on our ~ public schools, but he believed that we could ` get even "better value. There were still 5000 one-teacher schools in Ontea-lo. He be lieved -that hope lay along the direction of `the improvement of the schools that we already had. In these schools fifty-five per cent. had less than 20 pupils; 645 schools had less than 10. In this latter class with 4262 pupils, the cost to the country was $774,000.00 or $182.00 ..pcr lpl;pll. The question was, could \Ve afford` it ` yauvaulua ucuwr tem of education. uuc ur `DWO generations ago. . This is an industrial age and it is increas- ingly difficult to keep the boy and girl on the farm, in the face of inducements offered in other walks of life. It had been said that if farming was made more profitable the boy would stay on the farm. This was true to a certain extent but not altogether. He_believe_d that part of the solution lay in providing better schools and a better .=y;- tem education. ' boarded out." usual; was to Ispvu correctly we word "sum- mons." In other cases the examination was more difficult. He recounted the ad- ventures of some of the early teachers who went round from - house -to -house and) Teachers had to secure! ` "signers'7 who would agree to pay so much conditions, and changes in per pupil per quarter.

R.ev. R. G. Halbert of New Lowell sug- gested the need of instruction in rural fin- 'ancing and farm economics.

He would like to see a five-acre plot in 19 connection with every public school where] {Q demonstrations could be made in spraying.l pruning, etc., and in various other depart- ments df modern scientific agriculture. That would be the ideal rural school. 3. In the discussion which -followed many ,1 valuable points were` brought out by the various speakers. Rev. A. L. -Alton, the chairman, made a few remarks in which he urged greater cooperation between the rural and urban districts. Salaries, he thought, had a great deal to do in attracting the country boy to the city. The rural districts were discriminated against. He thought centralization of capital at the root of the rural problem. A hearty vote of thanks was moved by J. P. Wilcox, and seconded by W. `J. Good- fellow. . . W. M. Morris said that there were two things facing us, and one or the other was inevitable; either farming could not be made sufficiently protable to compare with the * attractions in other industries, or our educa- tional system was not such as to enable us to make farming profitable. He thought that the improvement of the system was the solution of the problem. Hon. Mr. Martin had made money on his farm, and others could do it too. In Southern Ontario where the farmers had gone in-tospecialized farm- ing the rural population had increased, while in the north it had gone behind.
