Under the present system of ! government af schools there is of form. fq example, the Board tion, Hig School and Public Boards, Mate School Board, elected by the people of a municipality, slso indus- trial and mining boards, while the. admin- istration of the deaf, dumb and blind in- stitutions are administered from the central headquarters under a different department. This multiplicity of organisations having jurisdiction brings confusion, an awkward: new and illogical situations that are cidedly to the disadvant 'The local ares for education, Dr, Bat ford said, is eo small that rural boards not possibly provide the necessary educi 4gional and allied services. The child in th rural district has not, in our present edt cation system, an opportunity equal to that offered to the favoured city child. But the citation of anomalies is not yet ifinished. The county, town, city and school section are all con- cerned with the organization and control of local education, Towns and cities, especial- jy those where a board of education con- trols both elementary and secondary rchoolé, are, ax a rule, well organized for ion and nothing further in regard to them. It is the rurel organization of education which is xo hopelessly confuxed.-- This arises from the fact that the township is the typical ive unit. Towns, villages be separated from the town- ship and become autonomous as soon as thev grow sufficiently big. The county is really a collection of townships and is-not. township, village. as in other parta of the world, the chief 'init of municipal administration. The pow jon the county occupies is clearly shown {in the composition of the county eounci yhich is made up of the reeves and denuty- reeves of the towns, villages and town- ships within the county, The township, therefore, represents the most highly or- ganized and powerful unit; tion the unit most intimately concerned with eduestion, But the school section is #0 small, being only big enough to support one school, that it has to collect ite school texes through the bigeer and better-organ- ized unit--the townabip. Tn the rural areas, then, we have school sections, townships and counties all with '8 finger in the educational pie. The local following soure (2) the township situated, and (3) he county a which the | school section is situated. The township | normal levy is an important tax. Townships, where the assessed value of the property through taxation to give dis. trict in the township $800 for the first teacher it employ theongheut the school year, $200 for the second teacher it em- ploys, and a pro ate sum for addi- 'tional teachers, county council must levy annually a tax "at least equal to that part of the legialative grant which iw ap- portioned minister of education on the basis of the equipment and sccommo- dation of the rural schools of the county." Tt will thus be seen that the achool séo- tion is too small to stand alone. It cannot collect even its own school taxes and it receives financial help both from the town- ship and county, but mainly from the town. iship. It is too small to organize medical linspection within ite borders, and too small to give control of both elementary and sec- ondary schools, A bigger unit-- the high school district--has to be crested for the education, 'Any reform in education in Ontario must first start with the abolition of the school section ax # local, unit of educstion, The reason the school 'ection has lasted so hg m0 far beyond, its usefulness, lies in ti rd 'politics.' There are three trustees school section. Usually they are uninterested in educational reform, but they 'are keenly interested in keeping the school tax to the lowest possible limit. 'They en- joy few powers, but one of them ia th fixing of the anlary of the teacher. Whi more natural than that they should save at the expense gf the "| they do effectively.

It is too small to command the services of the best citizens on its*board of trustees. And what is necessary, sbove everything else, is that our ablest citizens should feel that it is worth while to participate in the manage- ment of our schools, It is too mall to jeombat the centri tendencies of our Department of Education, If we are ever {to develop local initiative in education, and with it)those varieties of educational endeavor so necessary for our intellectu salvation, we must have a unit with a voice | sanctums of Queen's Park. The county, then, should be selected an the local unit' of education, The.township should be reserved solely to act ax a wub- unit of 'the county in those educational affairs which can best be served by devolu- tion of authority. Thirteen Reasons Following, Dr. Sandiford set out thirteen reasons favoring the county, thus: 1. Im the first place the school section in © highly artificial unit messured by the length of a child's legs, is establihed for a single special purpose, and bears no rela- tion to other unite of local government. The county, on the other hand, is rapidly becoming the main unit for justice, roads, jheslth, supervision and taxes. It could ear- be made the unit for education as well. 2. The schon! section nocessitates three trustees to look after one teacher. Such | an office cannot be held in high repute, con- sequently the prevailing sentiment is that 'Continued on, Page 7) aoe work F. J.
