No objection should be raised to his visiting Wash.. ington also t that would be a side trip that might produce the best results of statecratt. The whole Canadian press should unite in supporting the action of Par.. liament in inviting King Edward and Queen Alexandra to visit Canada. His high station has given him breadth of view possessed by few, yet it is certain the knowledge and impres- sions he would gather from a peasonal visit now would be a revelation even to him, while to Canadians. the prev ence of the King, of Victoria 'e son, as well as his most gracious consort, would be a dream of delight that no waking would mar. _ The trustees struggled for a while with. "Teachers' Contracts,” this being a sore spot with those, and they were the majority. who had had breaks in the middle of the terms. sometimes on flimiry or from question- able motives. The lack of honorable dealing in a few was deplored, bat a remedy seemed hard to find, Per contra, one trustee declared that in 20 years his board never had a break from this cause nor a request for an increase ofsalary, simplv because they paid gocd salaries and anticipated when an increase was deserved and gave it. Thisgreat educational parliament and its deliberations, has a far reach- I int inflaenee, which grows as the years go by. I Amongst the great q11est1ons loom. ing up are the abolition of Model Schools and third class eertifieates, the lengthening to one year at the prep- aration term, establishment of more Normal Schools, the Introduction of Normal training and Domestic Science. and last but not least by any means, the formation of Consolidated Schools, such as is successfully conducted at Guelph. The work of continuation classes, such as prevails in Durham, came in for for a great deal of attention. In the High Sehoul section, there is an j inclination to decry it, except perhaps l in the very best schools. The repre- sentatives ot Continuation Class schOols in the Trustees’ Section brought up the question of grants to Continuation Classes, which are shamei'ullv dispro- portionate to those given High schools. though practically the same work is done. For instance at the, January session ofGroy Countv Council. Mea- ford High school got $1617.01 from .' Equivalent to Gov. Grant " and Cot1rity's share of maintenance. ., Durham classes with an enrolment Dot much smaller with three teachers em- ploying their whole time, teaching the very same work. for the same exam- inations, got $250 00 as equivalent to Gov. grants. Moreover, lit Forest High School, got from County Grey as " Maintenance for Co Grey pupils " in attendance there, the sum of' $503.10 while Durham school, all Co Grey pu- pils gets not oneccnt as maintenance. The trustee section, though comprising many High School trustees, saw the injustice ofthis allotment and ares- olution was carried urging more sup- port, at least to Grade A Continuation Class Schools. This same omission Was, of course handled in the trustee section. and a motion prevailed that the majority of the new advisory board should con- sist of representatives of Trustees, Public School teachers and Inspectors, so that the interests ot the Public Schools would not be endangered by a preponderance of High School and University representatives. Dr Pyne, Ministerot Education. game an address to the General Association on current educational topics. He thought there was a great awakening to such matters in Ontario and else- where " present, though many at his hearers thought his projection into the educational world accounted for awak- lening. He is a fairly good speaker land left a good impression. He is aiming to build up the public school. which has been neglected for the higher branches. Ninety five per cent of the youth of the country never go further than the public school station, and he wants them equipped for life when put offthe educational train here. He Would spend even more on edms"tion, it Treas. Matheson would allow, and is fail of plans for bonusing teachers, pensions, mus-cums, best kept schools, etc, He Would like a national series of text books, would have sight. hearing and teeth of pu- pils examined. He reviewed the new education acts. and was reminded by the chairman of the Assaiaticn, Mr Dow, of Whitbv, that in the eompoeit- ion of the advisory council under the new Act no mention was made of the trustee element, an omission that will likely be remedied. l The annual meeting of this body, the Ontario Educational Association. was held in Toronto last week and recorded the largest attendance in its history. The introduction of the new education bill gave spice to the meet- ing and in Seven! of the sections its provisions were discussed. FARM TO RENT Invite King Edward. M The o. E. A.
