V V p , IIRJIOXEE nsnronrs racemes. The following are _s few -facts `gather- ed front `n_ lengthy report by. Inspector McKee of `South West I Y have very unvrillinigly come to the conclusion -that in some respects at- lesst we have not improved very much on the condition of affairs which ob- tained 25 vyearsego. We do too much spoon-feeding for \our` children now`-s- 'days. The salaries are disgraoefully` low, sud there is In orer production of teachers without either experience or sense of `responsibility. ._Esch of these twoevils is, inturn.increcsing.the other, and so long as thesetwo conditions ob-h tein I see no hope for improvement." The remedy is yet to be found. ` The Continuation Classes still do good work. I do not approve of their existence unless there are two teachers in the school. I do not recommend them unless there "are three, lest the manypupils should suffer for the` ad- vancement of two ' or. three. I cannot but think that, on the , principle of the greatest good to the greatest number, part" of the money spent on secondary education would be a better expended in the encouragement and maintenance of these Continuation Classes. Some years ago, against strenuous opposition, I4 strongly urged" a more practical and business education. The recent changes made by the Department have tended steadily in this direction, but they have been too late to `stem the torrent of professionalism, which, to my thinking, has done and is doing so much injury throughout Ontario. Similarly I have for a long time warmly advocated the tting of one system the more thorough- ly to meet the practical needs of this busy` age. Agriculture has been _put on the timetable, but nothing will be done, indeed, until teachers are them- selves taught that they cannot teach it. Quite recently, however, I notice that a movement is on foot to establish schools in which boys will be taught the mechanical arts and girls will be instructed in _ kindred `pursuits. If these efforts are to be successful, how- ever, the Department of Education must takeup the question more rmly and liberally than at present appears likely, ' and the house must approach the question without any political feel- ing, it` such a thing be possible. TI-hope that you will at this session pass the usual grant of $50 for the pro- motion-examinations. In this connec- tion let me that I believe these ex- aminations would be much cheaper and: in every way more benecial were they uniform" throughout the County. Act- ing on this idea, I took the opportunity (after consultation with Inspector Day) at a Union Convention with the teach- ers of East Simcoe, of having a com- mittee appointed to hold a joint exami- ation `with uniform papers. Unfortu- nately though, the representatives from East Simcbe saw diiculties where I do not think that they exist, and so the committee reported against a union.

' . Inspector Morgan, North Simooe, re- ported he follows : ' ,xomm Annxqg. l Weeds and son Moisture. A single weed my apparently do but little harm, but every weed that occupies space during ' periods of -dry weather takes the moisture from `a large surrounding surface. One who _ has .given the matter attention and ex- periment estimates that one pound of ` weeds...will remove 500 pounds of water from .`the soil during an ordinary` drought, and that 500 pounds of weeds per ' acre areuot an unusual sight on some elds, the loss on each being 250,000 pounds of moisture per acre," . and this loss may be "greater if` the fare yell" advanced in growth; In addition to this deprivation. oil` the of its `moisture, weeds draw on the ` fertility and take `from the crop` the t6cdV`:iy5hich.isp so -for its ad- Ivancement and success."

This low average was attributed mainly to (1) the long distance many pupils have to go to attend the school ; (2) the `bad roads at times of the year; (3) many parents are careless and so greedy` of gain they keep the pupils home to work before the children have received -even the rudiments of an education; (4) Tfnancy Act had been a failure. Other facts gleaned from the report were as follows`: ' You will thus see that the education ot the great majority of the pupils in our schools is still entrusted to third class teachers-oi'ten to mere boys and girls, whose character is almost as un- formed as that of the pupils. .The formation of character is the prime work of the school. How can this be done well by teachers who are `too im- mature to know properly what the word means? Could the Minister of Education be induced to raise the age for entering on the work of teaching. I `am certain y that at one bound the schools would gain much in efficien- cy. ` Mr. Day asked. the Council to send a resolution (if they thought right to do so) to the Department, asking for the age to be raised, thus showing that the Council is aware of one of the weak points of the system. Fine new brick school houses are taking the places of the old frame ones, the houses are being better furnished, and some of them `ornamented with plants in the summer` and made heart- some with pictures. ` MB.
