' THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 192y Ontario's Rural Education System Needs Improvement Says Ferguson at Toronto 5 Will Remain in Office Until May Be Done to Aid Terrible Conditions Among Rural Educational ., Centres of Province (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Toronto, Ont, April 3--G. H. Fer- guson, Premier and Minister of Ed- scation in the Ontario Government, told members of the Ontario Educa- tional Association yesterday that he was going to stay on the job" long enough to effect some improvement in' Ontario's Rural Educational sys- tem. "You may not like it, but I have to do something whether you like it or not," he said. The premier said that there were many county schools with five pupils or less "and that means that the school is practically a private nur- sery," he remarked. There were 900 rural schols with less than 10 pupils. "That means that 15 per cent. of all rural schools have ten pupils or less. To me it is appalling," said the pre- nner, He outlined his reasons for desir- ing a larger administrative unit than the school section. When in England he had found that there they had the county unit, and would not go back to a smaller one. "Why should not Ontario follow suit 'and reap the benefits?" he asked. "The change would mean the elimination of the one pupil school, reduction in the number of schools and reduction in the overhead cost. Supplies would be cheaper because bought in larger quantity," he said, Complaint was made that the cost of education was growing. It was, but a higher standard was being required these days. The premier said he saw no reason why rural people should not have their own high schools. Dis- tances were more easily covered now, Ten miles was nothing with a car. , The education department was try- ing to force nothing on the schools of the province, "We say that if you are in accord with our ideas of how the schools should be operated, we will pay you a grant, If you are not we don't pay, but you go ahead and run your school as on like, for you own it," declared Mr. Ferguson. The premier said the reason he did not introduce the Township Board ill at the Sessioh just closed was that he had decided that until the people as a whole were ready to ac- cept his proposal--or some change in school machinery--no change would arbitrarily be forced on them. He knew well, he said, that until such a scheme met with large approval, it could not be' effective. | He also declared that inspectors should be under the control of the education department to a greater ex- tent, The county councils appointed them but the province paid two-thirds of their salaries. Mr. Ferguson asked for sugges- tions and proposed that the Ontario Educational Association appoint a committee to confer with his depart- ment on the township board bill. "We want your suggestions, but it seems difficult to get them," he said.

Phone 8 Prescott and Russell counties is PLANS PREPARED FOR FARM RELIEF Legislation to be Proposed to Congress Under Con- deration Washington, April 8.--With the farm relief hearings almost com- pleted, Senate and House agricul. ture committee leaders are begin- the legislation they will propose when Congress meets April 15 to carry out one of the major pledges of the Hoover campaign. The bills are expected to be drafted around the central idea of a Federal Farm Board, which Mr. Hoover empha- sized during the campaign. The scope of its powers has not been definitely defined, but the leaders are convinced they will be able to give it enough authority to deal not only with the present but with future problems of agriculture op- erating through commodity coun- cils charged with concentrating on the needs of specific crops. The plan also calls for the provi- sion of a revolving fund of $300,- 000 or more to finance efforts to prevent violent depressions in the levels of agricultural prices through stabilization corporations which would be estahlished when- ever the commollity councils found the accumulation of surpluses great enough to affect the domestic market. Abie's Irish Rose, World's Great Comedy Coming to Regent "Abje's Irish Rose." It might be a flower of some kind, but to the devotees of the theatre, and this means nearly ev- ery citizen in this world, that title means much. ""Abie's Irish Rose" has been hailed as the world's most success- ful play. Five and a half years of continuous performance on Broadway, New York, and record engagements in every city, town, hamlet, state and nation in the world have made '"Abie" the out- standing theatrical event in centur- ies. It has now gone into the movies, and the film version, made by Pa- ramount, is being exhibited on the screen at the Regent theatre the last three days of this week. "Abie'"' has been given an unus- ual production, according to all re- ports. While it is a comedy, no hint of slapstick is allowed to ap- pear. Anne Nichols, creator of "Able's Irish Rose," personally su- pervised the production, and saw to it that her story became a poig- nant comedy-drama of love and tol- erance, showing the wrong done by racial misunderstanding and big- | otry. And, while dramatic moments fill the story, the lighter incidents have mot been forgotten, by any means. Most of the comedy rests on the shoulders of three players, those essaying the role sof Sarah, the deat housekeeper, and Mr, and Mrs. Isaac Cohen. : The featured players include ean Hersholt, Charles Rogers, ancy Carroll, J. Farrell MacDon- ald, Bernard Gorcey, Ida Kramer, Camillus Pretal, Rosa Rosanova, Nick Cogley and others.

Clark of Toronto after an hour's fight and nine pound test line Fishermen differ as to the fight- ing merits of the various species of the finny tribe to be found in North American waters. Some claim that, inch for inch and pound for pound, the small mouth black bass is the gamest fish that swims; others are equally enthusiastic in praise of the speckled brook trout; while still another fraternity claim that the salmon puts up as noble a battle for liberty as an game fish extant. All are agreed, however, that the muscalunge, sometimes called the "fresh water tiger" is one of the greatest fighters known to anglers, and that he will put up a battle royal when attached to the business end of a,rod. One of the productive mus- calunge streams in North America is French River, in Ontario, Can- ada, which connects Lake Nipis- sing on the East with Georgian Bay on the West. This tangle of waterways is not only the haunt of the fichting muscalunge but it POPE WILLING 10 HAND OVER RELICS Pontiff Offers Italian Gov- ernment Famous "Ara Pacis' Fragments THE GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD I--Anne Nichols - calls it love--18,000,000 people applauded her decision--now on the screen after five years on Broadway! Rome, April 2.--Pope Pius XI has informed the Italian Govern- ment that he is willing to cede fragments of the "Ara Pacis," which are preserved in the Vatican archeological museum, should the Government carry out its project- ed restoration of the ancient monu- ment on the Capitoline Hill, it was learned here. "Ara Pacis" was erected by the Emperor Augustus on his return from the campaign of Spain and Gaul to gignalize the establishment of peace throughout the Roman Empire. The monument was pro- fusely decorated with statues, re- liefs and festoons and consisted of a col 1 altar with two platforms, with a light rod yields small and large mouth black bass, great northern pike of enor- mous size and pickerel in abun- dance, as well as pan fish. Not long ago a prominent New York busi- ness man landed a 55 pound "'muskie" after a battle which will probably satisfy his quest for a thrill for the rest of his life. French River is two hundred miles north of Toronte on the Sudbury Line. The French River Bungalow Camp, a series of cozy individual bungalows centering around a main club house, provides comfortable accommodations for the angler and his family. Jack Strathdee, manager of this anglers' retreat, is a genial host who is glad to give the uninitiated fisherman a few tips on how to lure the wily "muskie." French River Bungalow Camp has as its adjunct Pine Rapids Camp, some 20 miles up the river, and located just at the spot where the "whopper<" are likely to lurk. FUNERAL HELP OF LATE MRS.

Trading in Union Stock Yards at Toronto Discussed Toronto, Apr. 3.--Enforcement of regulations governing trading at the Union Stock Yards, Toronto, has been taken out of the hands of the Toronto Live Stock Exchange, and since Saturday last has been under the direction of C. C. Lister, Dominion government representa- tive, as a result of the refusal of the exchange to boserve certain or- ders of the Dominion Live Stock branch. The matter in contention is the requirement by the federal depart- ment of agriculture that commis- firms doing business at the yards shall maintain as a separate ac- count, a shippers' trust fund, as protection for live stock shippers. To this rule of the department some firms, members of the Live Stock Exchange take exception. The exception is based on the claim of inconvenience. Accord- ing to the statement of a represen- tative of one firm the requirement of the regulation is impracticable. The Trust Fund, he claimed, would result in delay in making payment to the shipper, as the shipper would have to wait until payment was made by the buyer before payment would be passed on to him. There is some talk it is said about an in- junction being asked in the courts. BOYS' BLOOMERS Reg. $1.25. Special 89c Dominion Clothing Stores 68 King St. W. Phone 2141 V. A.

It resembled a graduated pyramid, Many fragments of the Augustan monument were found on its orig- inal site on which centuries later the Fano, Palace was built. The fragments, besides those in the Vatican museum, were kept in Gov- ernment museums at Florence and in Rome. A few are in the Louvre at Paris. The Government has planned for some time to continue the excava- tions underneath the palace in or- der to recover additional relics and piece them together with existing fragments, including those in the Vatican museum. The ultimate object of this plan was to recon- struct the entire monument on the Capitoline Hill where it stood cen- turies ago. There had been several attempts to open negotiations between the Government and the Holy See in recent years, but the efforts proved unsuccessful until the reconcilia- tion between the state and the Va- tican. It was learned that the govern- ment, in turn, would cede to the Holy See other objects from its own museums. RINTY'S "MILLION DOLLAR COLLAR" 3 DAYS--3 STARTS THURSDAY VASE, i] "ZL nertainment & HERE TOMORROW That far-reaching arm of Uncle Som's police service -- the Forest Rangers--is involved vitally in one of the thrilling sequences of "The Million Dollar Collar," Warner Bros." underworld story starring Rin-Tin-Tin, which comes to the New Martin theatre Thursday. Incidentally, the scenes in which the activities of the Forest Ranger Service are shown were filmed on a national forest reserve with several Rangers actually present while the scenes were being made. The San Bernadino Range in Southern Cal- ifornia provided the locale and its area is under the constant survesn- lance of the Forestry Department. "The Million Dollar Collar," howevr, does not confine itself to the wilds for it is essentially an un- derworld story with itso pening se- quences dealing with a sensational daylight robbery in a great city. Rin-Tin-Tin, as the star, appears as an unwilling party to-the rob- |] bery, after which he, with the || other members of the gang takes refuge in a mountain hotel rendez- vous while affair 'blows over." With Rin-Tin-Tin in the cast of "The Million Dollar Collar" are M. Kemp, Evelyn Pierce, Philo Ce- Cullough, Tom Dugan, Grover Lig- gon and Alan Cavin.
