THE WEST SIDE STORE. nu insurers the security orX C:th i often fostered by a fond parent. who is ignorant of the World. and it is genomi- Iy recognized that one year of hirhvr education gives both boys and girls a distaste for manual labor. You say these are “ interesting phenomena " ap’ parently for arm-chair contemplation: that “ the educationist must not. be checked by the fear that intellectual power may be mis-directed or abused," and that “ to the boy, who finds there is not enough work to do in his chosen profession, his bad judgment brings his own punishment.” This is where the differ completely and entirely. I main- tain that. these are real live facts, which it is absolutely necessary we should deal with in a practical way, that if the Gov- ernment; undertakes the education of boys at this critical stage; if in the exâ€" ercise of a paternal function it invites. and by offering free facilities tacitly ad- vises, the cducntionist is bound to pro‘ tect the boy and protect the whole comâ€" munity so far as he is able; to exercise the duties of tho statesman, and at the same time the duties of the patent; which he arrogates to himself. Most people, I believe, will agree with me in this. And yet, from your remarks, it; would appear that our Minister of Edu- cation has never raised his eyes. except: in idle curiosity, beyond tho limits of his department, and that; the perfection of a symmetrical System has overshad- owed every consideration of the welfare of the country and the people. You will admit that there are cases where too much education may be a curse to a boy. You say the education- ist cannot stay his hand. I say in some cases he must. You say he cannot dis- criminate; I say he can. And certain- ly he is bound, in the construction of a. national system and in the selection of the subjects to be studied, to minimize the dangers which arise from the ten- dencies of human nature and the difli- culties of imparting advice. He must have some regard to the peculiar con- ditions of the country and the occupa- tions of the people. Surely, in an agri- cultural Country such as this is, the first and paramount object of our national education should be to add dignity and nobility to life upon the farm. And yet I can truthfully say that; I have never been in any country where, by the young people, farm life is held in such contempt, The farmer is called a. “ haysced,” and I have heard men who have gone into other occupations com- plain that. they have “ sprang from the soil.” It is not so in Great Britain; it; is not so in our Northwest. or in the western States. How do you account; for it. in Ontario 7 If you want. to know where the trouble begins I can tell you. It is in our High Schools. Not long ago I. ""‘Et~rt‘ets‘“’6‘.~" mentor. High Schools Depopulating the Country. ( To the Editor Q)" The Globe.) Sir,â€"Upon reading the article which appeared in your issue of the 9th inst, I fear that there is a danger that the position I take may be misunderstood. There is a growing feeling in the coun- try, a feeling which is gaining strength every day, that we have in Ontario gone altogether too far in secondary educa. tion. The people have been content hitherto to pay taxes for higher cduca-. tion, because they were promised that wonderful and beneficial results would accrue to the whole community. The taxpayer has been patient a long time. He is now looking for the results. The situation is a critical one, for we must do one of two thingsâ€"we must either show that; the resultsjustify the expend- iture, or detect flaws in our system which will account for our failure. Oth- erwise the whole cause of secoudary ed~ ucation in Ontario must soon be in im- minent peril. ' Upon the question of education and morality the case of the objecting tax- payer, I submit, is made out, unless you can show such a substantialdecrease in crime that you can point to it and say : “ Here I this is what education has done.” The figures which you quote are suffic- iently disappointing; and the statistics quoted in your notes from the American Bureau of Education have nothing to do with the question. We are not. con- cerned with the number of “illiterate” criminals, for everybody admits that primary education is a necessity. You prefer, however, to submit to the arbit- rament of common sense, and here the taxpayer has at least as good an argu- ment as yours. Education in excess of occupation breeds idleness; idleness, you say, is the hot-bed of vice; and as one of'your correspondents has pointed out, education multiplies the devices for evil. As to the relationship of edu- cation to occupation, you practically ad- wit the contentions of the taxpayer that education has the effect of unduly crowd- ing certain occupations. But in answer to this you say : “ We protest; against the doctrine that any class of Canadians ought to be kept in ignorance in order that they may be content to do manual labor for the rest.” Who laid dowu the doctrine ? Certainly I was never guilty of such a thing, nor did I ever hint that this was a necessary alternative. But the unenlightened taxpayer may be ex- cused if he asks you to explain what is the principle which underlies this doc- trine of higher education by the State, and where is the limit to his obligation to pay for the education of his neighbor’s son?

And he is answered by the Canadian exiles, for I have heard the cry in the United States over and over again. They say : “ Yes, we have been driven out of Canada by the On- tional and aggravated incident. Per- haps it is scarcely fair to quote it; but it is typical of the atmosphere of the Iligh Schools, for which the system rather than the teachers are to blame. And every farmer and every teacher in the country will hear me out when I say that a High School course in Outa- rio will spell a boy for the farm and a MISS NELLIE SLATER, DRESSMAKER.
