Iiii Pllfifilll’lfll MWMBE Canada â€" United States W8. - Binphasis has often been given to the fact that “Roads,” and “Schools” constitute two of the pressing problems of the North Land. It is apparent that the Government is enivleavouring to deal.as best it may with the problem of “Roads.” Much is being done. Perhaps all pos- sible or practical is being attempted. In any event the outlook is now inm-h more hopeful than it has ever been before in the matter of road- ways. The question of educational facili- ties. perhaps, is, even more vital to the welrt’are of the North Land. Un- less educational facilities are provid- ed for the children of the North? 'Land, all other progress and develop- ment will ‘be vain and valueless event- ually. In the centres of population the people themselves have responded nolbly to the demands in this direc- tion. In the past ten years, for ex- ample, the Town of Tilmvmins has ex~ pended well over half a million dol. lars for educational facilities. But in the sparsely-settled areas of this big No1th the situation is serious. The families of hundreds of settlers are growing up without education, or with such curtailed education, se- cured at such sacrifice. as to place the children under life-long handi- 'a.p. "l‘he distances between the homes of settlers, and the lack of roads, make the establishment. and 111ainten-‘ ance of schools, burdens altogether hopeless in their impossilbility. The Correspondence Course plan in successful operation in British Colum- hia seems to offer a method to give valuable assistance in the problem of educational facilities for the North. British (“oluimlhia has found this plan “a hlessing' to the children situated far from schools.” After due i11- ‘vestig'ation Alberta had adopted a similar pllan. Elsewhere in this issue more extended reference is made to this educational facility. On behalf of the settlers of the North Land, The Advance would urge it upon the most careful attention and consider- ation of Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, Premier of Ontario. and Minister of Education for the Province. He has shown 'his intelligent sympathy with edu'ation in general and with the true progress and development of this North ”Land. 0m (r( THIS PLAN MIGHT BE OF VALUE TO THE NORTH LAND with t‘ Much is sflble or In any mnvh m 1W ILD STRAWBERRIE-S HERE REACH SIZE OF TAMI: ONES WEDNESDAY, AUG. 13TH, 1924.

Timmins and South Porcupine were heralded as having made. the [nip from Timmins to Iro- quois Falls and return over the new. road. While admiring the enterprise of these gentlemen and their good sports- manship, still facts are facts. They made the trip from T‘imunins to Iro- quois Falls but not on the road. A (‘Olllple of oars ran some three or four miles on the milrnad track to “escape the mad. Another car was hauled through the hush by a farmer’s team again to escape the road. The first car to make the trip by the road was owned and driven by F. II.1\115‘()11,1'II‘., of Iroquois Falls. "“he party took with them in the 031 Mr. Alex Me'IntVne, Supervisor of roads for Northem Ontario, and “mm D. Dufi’ District Engineer with headquarters at (ochrane. On the V111V theV pi(ked up Alex Stiiling in change of the wovk on these ioads. These gentlemen can much for two things. First: that the cars from Timmins and South Porcupine did not make the trip thy road, and second, that Mr. Anson did. The road was in terrible shape and necessitated a, great deal of axe and shovel work in order to get through at. all. The trip proved one thing, that the road wl1en~e0mpleted will be a good read and a credit to the North ('ountry.
