Editor's Note--Education is a very live subject to-day, and Mr, McCready has here presented some practical ideas that have worked out well in the countries where they have been adopted. He quite admits that these ideas 'might not be suitable for Ontario; but the fact remains that changes in our educational system are admitted to be necessary. This is the time that changes are being considered. What shall the changes be? What are the rural people going to do about it? At the present time a Committee of Inquiry as to the costs of educa- tion is holding meetings in various parts of Ontario, These meetings are open to interested persons,who are invited to make suggestions and give information. The two final meetings are to be held at Toronto on the 12th of August, and Peterborough, August 13. ¥1 Education in Scotland, Denmark, | and Ontario. By S. B. McCready Ontario County Educational Association, Cannington, June 14th, 19385 I take great pleasure in discussing with you here to-night, the problem of making the best possible use of education for advancing the interests of Ontario County, the people making their living in it now, and the people who will bé making their homes in it fifty or a hundred years from now. The title of this talk may be interpreted more specifically as "Lessons from Scotland 'and Denmark 'for Ontario in" connection with the proposed educational reforms now pending; especially in reference to country life." I think everyone is agreed that we are in for changes. The World do move! The question is what sort of changes should they be? And what can we learn from other countries which have successfully grappled with their re- forms in recent-times?. I make no apologies for dealing with Scotland and Denmark rather than with the United States or our own Western Provinces because their mistakes and their attempts at solutions are not nearly so il- luminating for our guidance. First, what can we learn from Scotland? It is natural and right that we should ask this question regarding Auld Scotia because it is from her 'that we have inherited the so-called "Scottish Tradition"--the driving force behind "all our school systems in Canada, except that of French Quebec. The Scotiisi Tradition means this--that every boy and girl born into a Scottish home has the inalienable right to all the education that he or she has the capacity to acquire, Education is a right not a privilege. It is not for the rich, the high-born and the clever 6nly. It is for all; for the poor and common folk and the dull and the mediocre as well. This conception of education is the magna charta of democracy. All have equal rights to the highest oosition in:life, It explains why we pay unstintingly for the sup- port of our schools. We did not get this from aristocratic England but from democratic Scotland. : Well Scotland seems to have come to the conclusion some years ago that she had been fooling herself over her educational supremacy. It was not as democratic as they had thought. Recruiting revelations during the war had exposed weaknesses. And so they made amendments in the reform School Act of 1918--just after the Great War. Mr. Drury, you may remember, proposed reforms for Ontario about that time, but nothing came of it. Scot- land has outstripped us in modern educational reform by seventeen years. Briefly these are some of the changes made in the Scottish School System,-- 1. County Administration-- She has secured better and more business-like management of her schools by the displacement of thé old parish school system by a co-operative county plan of management. Thirty-seven School Authorities manage all the schools catering to a population of nearly 5,000,000 under expert Direct- ors of Education. For Ontario -probably a township-county co-operative plan would be best. Our present scheme of administration by about 65,600 School Boards is out-of-date and ineffective. There can never be very much chance of advancement under this plan. 2. County Council School Boards-- The County School Authorities are now the Educational Committees of of the County Council. They tried the separate independently-elected School Boards for eleven years, but in 1929 adopted the same plan as that prevailing in England. In this way governmental overlapping has been lessened. The Committees 'are 'assisted by co-opted members interested in various matters such as music, the teaching of the Bible, etc. Fears of such a plan for Ontario would probably prove groundless as they have in Scotland, 3. Teacher Improvement-- '_ The qualifications of teachers have been advanced. No man is accepted for training as a teacher now unless he is the graduate of a university, an agricultural college or a technical college. And likely this standing will be required of women teachers as well before very long. At present 85% of all teachers in'Scottish schools are university graduates. Within a generation they will all be graduates practically. That is a high mark for us to shoot at in Ontario. Graduates of Agricultural Colleges are common in Scottish coutry schools. Why might it not be so in Ontario? It is a two or three- teacher school they have in mind for rural Scotland rather than a larger Consolidated school, 4. National School Tax-- . The' Scottish Department of Education pays about 60% of the cost of the schools to the County School Boards. This is practically the amount re- 'quired for the teachers' salaries. It is obtained from the Income Tax. Thus educational charges are fairly well equalized. For a similar reform in Ontario, part of the school tax now raised by municipalities would have to be transferred to the Province. And why not if educational opportunity is to be equalized? And if it is true that the well being of the towns and cities is dependent on a prosperous country population why should these towns / only be fair that they should share in this and equalize educational costs with the country because they have absorbed a very large part of their wealth from the soil tilled by the farthers. ' 6... National Salary Scale for Teachers-- A national minimum salary scale for teachers has been established. All . | Scottish teachers whether teaching in town or country, or in elementary or °l advanced clasdes, receive the same salary in accordance with academic and (continued on page 5) and cities not share in meeting the cost of the country schools?

One of the oldest lawyers in On- tario, although having retired from 'active practice in 10%0, Hubert L. Ebbels, passed away last week at his home, 40 Albany Avenue, Toronto. Mr. Ebbels, who was in his 93rd year, came to.Canada from Exeter, England, as a boy, with his parents. He attended the old Grammar School in Toronto, and was graduated from Osgoode Hall seventy-three years ago in 1862.

About two years later he took up practice at Port Perry, which he con- tinued until his retirement fifteen years ago, when he moved to-Toronto. Until a 'month ago Mr. Ebbels had been in excellent health. Cause of death was a recurrance of a stroke suffered recently. Mr. Ebbels had been a reader of the Globe for sixty years, and during his lifetime con- tributed many articles for The Globe columns. He was a member of Wal- mer Road Baptist Church.

It was the local team's first win in four starts and what a pitcher's battle it was. On the mound for Port Perry was Murray Clarke and for Uxbridge, the veteran Bill Clarke, who did a mighty fine job. boys are no relation.) = When Uxbridge came in in the third churcher, a doube and two er- rors were cnough to score a run. At this point Clarke for. Port began to bear down and the Uxbridge boys did not get past second base for the re- mainder of the game. In the last of the 6th the local boys really came into their glory when a single, a walk, and a double by Tim Beare scored two runs. That was all the runs the boys got; but that was enough to win this old ball game. Murray Clarke pitched masterly ball for the home~team having thirteen strike-outs and no walks to his credit. Clarke, the opposing pitcher, issued two walks and made three batters whiff at the last strike. Line up for Port--B. McMillan, ¢; N. McMillan, ef; S. Beare, 2b; H. Rod- man, 3b; M. Clarke, p; O.
