(From the Toronto Telegram.) The finished produet of the educa~ tional system of Ontario is the graduate in arts of the Provincial University. According to all the traditions he has imbibed and the hopes which he has formed, this polished sample of cultured Canadian intelligence stands upon the threshold of a great career. Through fifteen plodding years of schooling he has been taught that the possession of a B. A. degree and rapid accumulation of this world’s wealth and emoluments are related to one another as immediate cause and effect. He has become the proud possessor of a degree. He has also, unfortunately, become the possessor of an active distaste for any form of manual labour, and of a rooted aver- sion to getting up early in the morning underany circumstances. He has, more- over, a tendency to despise men of busi- ucss, who, while they may have substan- tial material achievements to point to, are yet unable to hold their own in a conversation concerning Newton’s calcu- lus or the philosophy of Leibuitz. In far too many instances, also, the gradu- ate may be found who has a well devel- oped idea that the Trojan war is a matter of live interest to Canadians of the present: day. Generally speaking,' he loathes agriculture, despises the trades and is disposed to think comâ€" merce altogether too common for a man of intellect. There remain open the three professions of law, medicine and divinity, which he considers worthy the application of a scholar and gentleman. If he has money he invades one of these professions. As it is very obvious that not every one who is capable of passing the examinations of the University course is specially fitted for professions which call for special natural aptitudes, the. result of this annual invasion is that Ontario is simply overrun with hard-up lawyers and seedy physicians. And this evil is twofold. For not only are men Whom nature intended to be excellent. mechanics or farmers diverted into pursuits for which they are totally unfitted, but there is created such com- petition in the professions that many men with positive genius for law or medicine are unable to make more than a bare livelihood. If, as in a majority of cases, the graduate has not the money to enter at once into the study of a profession, he surveys the field, and finds himself in a perplexing quandary. For the testimony of employers of men and of graduates themselves has overwhelm- ingly proved the fact that about the most helpless man on earth is the Uni- versity graduate without means. As he knows no particular line of business, he cannot command more than the salary of an underling, and he is usually ashamed to take a subordinate position and work himselfup the/rungs of the ladder of business success. Therefore in the post school teaching held out special inducements to him. But of late years the School of Pedagogy has frowned upon him, and besides. school teaching is the most overcrowded pur- suit in the province to-day. And hence it is that so many of our graduates join the exodus and look for tutorships in the United States, where the training of the schools produces many business men and few teachers. Thus the fruition of. our school sys- tem is semi-starvation of professional men and the loss to the country of what should be the flower of our youth. The truth is that. the whole tendency of a university course is to unfit those Who take advantage of it for becoming the kind of citizens that a country like Canada requires. Education is a means. not an end. It should be the harmoni~ ous development of the whole man, physical and mental, and a youth who has been properly educated will have enough nobility of mind not. to despise any kind of honorable employment. What Ontario needs in higher educa- tional reform is that our university course shall be more practical. shall hold forth different ideals more suitable to the needs of the country, and shall produce graduates, say, like young Goldie, of Golf, who, when he had com- pleted his university course, threw all" his coat and went into his father's shops to learn the craft of the machinist. that he might become familiar with the uttertnost details of the business. Young men should be taught that it is just as honorable and far more profitable to run a successful porkpackiug business than to wear long hair and write third- clue poetry. and that a progressi‘ve I 00., ch89” manufacturer or poultry dealer | l l : necessarily less great than a lawyer who can never get a brief or a doctor who just manages to exist and keep up his professional dignity. Our system is wrong, and the views and ideas ln'itl by our university graduates in only t .o many instances carry condemnation If the teaching under which those views were fostered and those ideas formed. r.-. Hundreds of Houses Wrecked. TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION OF DYNAMITE AT JOIIANNESBURG. Jonsuussusno, Feb. 19.â€"A large quantity of dynamite exploded at. Viz-- dendorp, a suburb of this city, tlm evening, wracking hundreds of houses in the vicinity. All the windOWs in Johannesberg were broken by the con- cussion. It is feared that. great loss of life was caused by the explosion. and the police and inhabitants are engaged in the work of searching the ruins of the demolished buildings for bodies of victims of the disaster. Jounuunssnno, February 21.â€"'l‘lm. amount of dynamite which caused the terrific disaster, the details of which have already been sent, is ascertained to have been twenty tone. This had been standing on the railway switch for a period of three days, exposed to the sun and the air, and this is supposed to have put it into a condition in which its chemical constitution was very un- stable. so that it» was ready to be set «if from the slightest disturbance. It. is now definitely learned that. the number of deaths resulting from the disaster is over one hundred, besides the lnrtzu number of maimed and injured. lI‘lm distress which has resulted from the accident is both keen and widespread, and a large number of firms. both here and in London, are subscribing liberally to afford relief. President Kruger and the chiefs of the several executive departments of the Government of the South African Republic made an inspectioa of the scene of the dynamite explosion .4; Viodendnrp yesterday. and visited‘nlany of' the injured men, women and children in the hospitals. President Kruu'c-r, after viewing the scene of devastatim. declared that the Netherlands [tailan Company, on board of whose cars the dynamite exploded, would have to puv the amount of the damage done. whit-h is calculated at £1,000,000 at least. The President was greatly affuctotl hv the scenes in the hospitals and elsn- where, and in speaking laterdwclt upmi the splendid manner in which the poop a of Johannesberg sank their race and other feuds and joined hands in reliev- ing the distress of the hupdreds who were in need of' aid. President Kroger- was elected President of the Relief Committee which was formed yesterday, and which has already succeeded in collecting £100,000. o - coâ€"~~‘~â€"â€"â€"â€" The "Potato Patches ” a Success. Fuller details of the working of tho potato patch plan in various American cities last year show it to have been practically a universal success. Detrolt, which boasts of having originated the scheme. reports that the crops for ’05 reached a value of about 330.000. while the amount expended was only 85,000, though seed was furnished to most of the workers. Buffalo furnished employ- ment to 500 families; cost. under $11.- 200; value of crops. SIZOOO. Brtmklt n employed twenty families; cost, 845; value of crops, 81,100. Seattle spam. 8204 and realized 82,450. St. Paul spent $275, and the crop is put at. Sl,100. In many cases it was a first year’s experiment. and in all cases both the managers and the beneficiaries of this unique charity want to repent the trial next‘ year. It is ideal as a Self- help charity. and, where instructors one employed, as in the New York case. it may easily prove a practical school for the education of market gardeners a wl farmers. We are all the time urging the surplus population of our cities in so West and farm it. but men who do not know how to plant corn regard this as largely impractical advice. But if they were well taught to make the must of even a city lot. they might acquire both a taste and a knowledge that would carry them eventually to the pl‘tlll’lt-b. co..- _._ Jordan Minor of Spirta was compel- led to pay $450 for running an illicit still.
