Radical School Departure The principle of compulsory school ut tendance is curried 4 long step forward in ® bill which has received its first reading in the Ontario Legislature. It is of deep and direct interest to parents, to employ: ers, und to a large proportion of the youth of the Province, and demands the careful consideration of all classes. As outlined by the Prime Minister in introducing it, the Dill aims 10 do in Ontario what the Fisher Bill is expected to do in cnglan |, though it is even more radical in so:ne respects. A salient feature is the obligetion on adolescents, both boys and girls, to ettend school for the full time until «ixteen yearn of uge. The present school-lcaving age is fourteen, and under the new Act chil- dren will still be permitted to leave at that uge if it can be shown that their ser: vices ure needed at home or us wuge-earn- em. They mey also leave unconditionally before they are sixteen if they have passed the matriculation examinatioa or taken a course of study equivalent to Another important feature ix the pro- vision for the continual ciuestion of adolescents between fourteen and eighteen who have l@Tschool before the sixteenth Tp.

Educational authorities _awert that night schools while doing an invalu- able work, reach only # small proportion of wage-earning boys and girls, and that com- pulsory night attendance would put too great physical strain on many.

His illness had been a long, lingering one, extending through a whole year of suffering. Through it all he endured with patience and cheer- and ss a great shock to his family and many friends. Mr. Ball was born in the town- ship of Medonte, March 26, 1850. He lived on the farm until forty years of age. February 11, 1874, he was happily married to Miss Sarah E, "McDonald, of Ivy,.who survives him, For thirty years he was in business as general merchant in War- minster, until a year before his death, |when he retired, owing to ill health. He was a consistent member and official in the Methbdist church and was for years' Sup- 'erintendent in the home Sunday School. four pf whom died in their very early years. The family knew deep sorrow as well as joy. Five children and eight grandchildren with | faithful, loving wife survive. 'Three daughters, Mré. (Rev.)

Formerly they. were merely workmen, forgotten when their day's work was ended, now they are people who must be made Canadians. In the "Soo" there are 3,000 Italians besides people of other nationalities, nineteen dif- ferent lungusges may be heard on the streets, The library should contain books likely to stimulate our interest in the foreigner. We get in touch with the for- eigner through the children, The foreign population live in w section of the town which is two miles from the library so the interest of the teachers had been en- listed and through them suitable books were given out, and now number already walk the two miles to get books, A few weeks ago, = ~--sreuding room was opened = by the ~--_Library in the foreign section of the town, und seventy-eight came' in the first diy to look at the papers and magazines, It is hoped that a branch library will be opened there shortly. | w The librarian should take an interest in the home life of the children and make the library 2 community centre. The | greatest factor in developing a taste for | reading in the young is the "Story Hour" Mr, Peter Donovan (Tom Folio) of the "Suturday Night", spoke on book review: ing. id he "was often asked if the, reviewer reads every book he reviews, or dues he take the publisher's remarks on the | cover, for the basis of his review. He | usually found the worth of the book in ad- | verse ratio to the publisher's remarks.

In relation to democracy the li- brary plays its fullest part, There is no tulismanic power in any kind of govern: iment to make the world go right. You 'cannot get on without education and in- telligence in a democratic government. It is fitting that the libraries of the prov- ince be bound up with the educational eys- tem. | Sir John Willison's topic was 'The Days jof Reconstruction". He spoke of the inad- equate salaries paid to librarians and teach- ers, and added that 'Democracy hates to "pay, and onthe whole gets better service it deserves." The library should. be 8 community hall, the centre of community life in the rural district. There should be a free cinematograph, free lectures and a closely related to the natural resources of the district in which it is situated. This country is peculiarly ignorant of its natural resources, What is our situation in Can- ada to-day? Before the war we spent 75 millions compared with 500 millions this year, The public debt has increased from' 336 'millions to 1400 millions. So it burden that has fallen upon us, We must up- ply to mines and fisheries the same policy 'as to agriculture. We do much to encour- age efficient farming. We should do the 'same for our other resources, and we could look the future, in the face without ap- prehension, Some of the remarks of Mr. Macpherson 'of the Hamilton Normal School on "'Child- ren's Reading' were as follows :-- "The public library is the people's uni- versity, yet many know nothing of its facilities, "Therefore it should be adver- tised.
