Robt. tions Create Spirit of Rivalry of Examinations and report cards ha few done inestimlable damage in creating a spirit of rivalry rather than a spirit of co-operation in public schools of the province, Dr. Duncan Mi-Arthur. M.A., deputy-Minister of Education for Ontario, told a large audience in North Tornto Collegiate last night, "the progress of each child should nd sleigh ! be measured by his own capabilities," i it hard \ declared the speaker. "There has been too much emphasis on intellect and too little on emotion. Children must be allowed to discover themselves; it is the work of the teacher to stimulate interest and encourage the individual pupil." Health is given first place in the new public school curriculum, he said. There is to be more play and Need More Rest "Too many pupils look on at games and too few participate in them," the deputy Minister asserted. "There is no justification for any child in junior grades having to do homework. It is far more important for the boy or girl to enter into the home life and have proper rest than to make rapid progress in the classroom." By next September it is hoped thi same philosophy of education will be extended to grades seven, eight, nine and: ten, Dr. McArthur declared. The new educational system is "training to live," aimed to consider the inter ests and capabilities of each child and to adjust education to the indi vidual quality of mind. "The change provides of freedom to teachers but places them one of the heaviest loads of responsibility carried by any group of the community," he said.

TIAC The modern method of gear-changing operated at steering-wheel level is one of the advantages of the Pontiac Six for 1938, models < " which have now reached local dealers' premises following the recent national announcement. This method of gearshift has proved exceedingly popular and is arousing muci comment. Pontiacs for 1938 come ir two series, the De Luxe and the Special, and there are many mechanical improvements besides the advanced type of gear-control.

Preventive Medicine has raised the standard of health in Ontario! '<» ip| by tot HotpiUd for Skk ^7L The Sixtieth Anniversary of the establishment of the Hospital for Sick Children is more than a milestone where we hestitate a moment, looking back over a record of ever-increasing service to the children of the Province. It marks also the parallel development of Preventive Medicine in this country ... a development in which observations made in the Hospital for Sick Children on the treatment of tens of thousands of cases form an important part. The far-reaching influence of the growth of this branch of medical practice can easily be shown in figures--the records of Health Departments supply convincing proof. The fact that your children are relatively a great deal healthier than those of sixty years ago is due in no small degree to the progress in medical knowledge made possible by the opportunities afforded by the Hospital for Sick Children. Vaccination, toxoiding, etc., commonplace today, had to be proved effective by the actual observation of countless eases. Children of every race and creed are admitted to this Institution, regardles of circumstance. Their tteket of admittance is their need. Their treatment, too, is governed by their need alone--not by their ability or inability to pay. Fixed grants made by the Province and Municipalities do not provide for the features requiring extra expense which our progressive child specialists prescribe. Each year there is a deficit which we ask charitable people to meet. This year the shortage is $70,000.00. Every dollar is urgently needed so that the great work may go on. No amount is too small . . . none too large. Give $1.00, $2.00, $5.00, or $100.00--what- _ever your circumstances justify--but please give_ something. Send your donation to the Appeal Secretary.
