For Rural School Beautification Ontario County School Trustees' Association is spon- soring a Contest for Rural School Beautification in the County of Ontario. Any rural school may enter the Contest, the particulars of which are given herewith. A7blieations for entry should be sent to John N. Mark, who is the Secretary of the Association. Particular attention should be paid to the require- ment of snapshots of the scho | - work of beautification is undertaken. remis-s before the It is further 'suggested that a plan of the proposed beautification be made before the actual work is started. assistance is required in this matter, a letter sent to If any the Horticultural Papmiment of the Ontario Agricul- tural College, and su table suggestions will be made. If, however, some competent local 'person will make the plan, local conditions and available material will have better opportunity for consideration. This Beautification Contest should receive the sup- port of every rural teacher and schonl trustee in the County. The better type of education is difficult to secure in a school where the surroundings are dirty and ugly, Habits of neatness and a love of true beauty are valuable assets in real life. It may fairly be stated that a number of schools in the County are in urgent need of cleaning and the beautification of the whole school premises, There is no need to spend a lot of money on beautification pro- at small cost in cash. COMPETITION FOR IMPROVE- MENT and BEAUTIFICATION OF COUNTY SCHOOL GROUNDS. Suggested by Mrs. J. S. Gordon, of Beaverton. Object of this contest: 1. To give the children of our Coun- ty more beautiful surroundings at], school. 2. To give each community a beauty 3. To furnish an incentive towards the beautifying of home surroundings.

RURAL SCHOOL PROGRAMS Paper read by Wm. Parrott, before the Municipal Association, at Toronto, To get a proper perspective of the on each at the time of teaching. There Rural School programme, it is neces- are many pupils who are thought sary to compare the rural resident to- v dumb on some subjects because some- day with those of twenty or forty years ago and to keep in mind that history shows that the human race 'has always had to work for a living and fight for an existence, and it, would appear from conditions of the, one did not make clear at sometime just what that pupil needed at that time, or possibly the programme was more dumb than the pupil, I would suggest that rural School programmes be something in this past few years that despite invention line: the purely academic training be and education the work and fight are still the most fmportant qualifications we have. Has the Public School programme of the past decades developed a rural population better able to take their proper place in the national life than only 70% of what it now is and that more time be allowed for such train- 'ing in citizenship as loyalty, work and play, (1) Loyalty: They should be taught to respect the rights of all fellow scholars and be co-workers with all were the past generations, or are they! the school; be fair in hoth work and too wise to work or too indifferent to fight and what part of this condition play; be able to differ in opinion, but not quarrel; always be loyal to fellow is our Public School programme re.!students, teacher, home and locality. sponsible for? If they were trained in this way they It would appear that the less the | would be loyal as citizens of the whole parents pay directly and the more they pay indirectly to the costs of educa- tion the more education they demand and the less Interest they take in the training of the rising generation to make useful citizens, or in other words, they leave all worthwhile train- ing to the public school teacher. The Public School programme ap- pears to suppose the pupils would all go to High School and most of them to the University, all get congenial oc- cupations and good pay. They ap- pear to have been taught that if they pass their examinations they will get a good job which is not work, and if there is not a job, the Government will make a job as inspector, commissioner or some sort of representative; for all who do not become teachers, account- ants, doctors or lawyers, but there are none of them to become just workers. In our present Rural School pro- grammes I believe subjects are taught too often and not enough time spent Country, (2) Work: They should be taught that work is not a disgrace and that an active and clear mind cannot be de- veloped without they cheerfully per- form of the physical labor, either at school or at home, which is available 'for them to do; and that only by doing this work in this manner, they are ad- ding to their own ability to be useful to themselves and to their Country, (3) Play: The Rural Schools are all furnished with playgrounds; but how | many have adequate equipment to play with? I believe such ~gimple sport equipment as balls and bats, horseshoes, toboggan or simple equip- ment suitable to the School should be provided by the School, and in care of the teachers, and should be used much more than they now are, and in the School programmes the teachers should have time to encourage and in- struct the pupils in enjoying these japon . | The Rural School teacher needs to be a person who has some practical and sympathetic understanding of the problems the majority of the pupils will likely have to meet in taking their place as citizens in the rural life of the community. This should have more attention in the training of the teach- ers for rural school work than it has ever received. I do not think a paper or rural "school programme would be complete without some reference to the financial part of the rural school programme. The policy used by our Department of Education of giving higher grants for the employment of higher qualified teachers, irrespective of whether they produced better results by training better citizens, it appears to have filled the teaching profession with a surplus of teachers. who have more academic qualifications than required for public school, which has cost them more money than the rural school rate can afford to pay. All grants of this nature should be paid, not on quali- fication, but on results as determined by the Inspector. These grants together with a much higher rural school Township levy, have materially raised the cost of rural school education, but I do not believe it has raised the standard of that edu- cation in any way. The most out- standing weaknesses in our rural schools to-day are too much academic training, too complicated and mis- placed grants, too much indirect tax, which a lot of our ratepayers helleve someone else is paying, which has made more teaghers necessary In our Becondary Schools and Universities, temporarily at least raised the stand- ard of pay in the teaching profession, lowered the standard of true education our rural school teachers and pupils and has deluded rural ratepayers. SUNDERLAND Members of the Masonic Craft to the number of 150 were present on ward Lodge, A.F. and A.M., No. 464, Sunderland, it being the official visit of R. W. Bro. N€ss of Toronto. Visitors were present from Oshawa, Peterboro, Uxbridge, Sutton, Port Perry, Beaverton, Cannington, Fenlon Falls, Lindsay, Woodville and other places and enjoyed one of the best nights in Masonic circles in a long time. The officers of King Edward Lodge were highly complimented on the efficiency in which they performed their duties and conferred the first degree. W. Bro. Dr. Wallace occupied the Master's Chair and was assisted in the work by W. Bro. Miller, W. Bro. Dr. Olliver and other Past Mas- ters. Following the lodge session, adjournment was made to the banquet room' in the Masonic Hall where u most deliclous repast was served to all the brethern. W. Bro. Wallace filled the position of toastmaster and the various toasts were most ably pro- rosed and responded to. R. W. Bro. Ness,"D. D. G. M,; in responding to the toast to the Grand Master and the Grand Lodge of Canada in Ontario was particularly eloquent and left in tlon for greater study of Masonic Art. R. W. Bro. Yule, D. D. G. M. of Vie- toria District, also responded to this toast, other brethren from visiting spirational addresses. Visitors present announced they will long remember one of the most edu- cational and enjoyable evenings spent as guests of King Edward Lodge. Mr. B. W. Switzer, Miss M. Taylor, Miss R.

These organizations attended in a body and took part in the ceremonies of Remembrance Day. The parade which preceded the ser- vice was headed by the Port Perry Band, and included local members of the Army and Navy Veterans, and a detachment of the Militia, Rev. T. A. Nind, Honorary Chaplain of the Army and Navy Veterans gave a very practical and timely address, which was a plea for peace. He point- ed out the real difficulties which face the loyal youth of to-day in the event of war. These difficulties are clearly shown in the case of aviators, who would be required to drop bombs on defenceless women and children if war were declared. Either they must do i this inhuman thing, or they must re- fuse to perform their military duty, in which event they would be shot for insubordination. . REMEMEMBRANCE DAY SERVICE. nationalism as a chief cause of war, He made clear the distinction between patriotism and nationalism, the latter being summed up in the slogan "My Country right or wrong." It was made very evident to the young people that the day might soon arrive when they would have to make momentous decisions regarding their attitude toward war. When the bugle blows the testing time will come, and men will have to choose between the high principles of Christianity and the hate, and destruction, and slaughter which war engenders. Mr. Chas. Heartfield sang "O Dry Those Tears."
