written specially for the review and addressed to residents of minto township particularly we believe they will be found interesting to many of the readers of this paper because the problems of the farm folk of minto township are the same problems that confront rural people throughout the province i have told you something of den mark aud sweden in previous articles and now i come to scotland this was the land of my forebears it was something like coming home to see the places i had heard of from my parents in childhood it is bonnie scotland in very truth one could not escape the impression though that times were very hard we saw many unemployed coming from denmark with its little farms and their indep endent owners scotlands country side strikes one as a land of large land owners and tenants i hardly need to tell anyone in min to township that our educational sys tem owes much to scotland the so- called scottish tradition is in our educational blood and bones the first school masters in wellington country were from scotland in har riston tho first school was taught by a scottish schoolmaster whose daughter mrs james smith is still with us as a well beloved pioneer mr win mckarohern and mr mckenzie were two of the earliest minto town- ship teachers whom i remember the joth of them were scotch this socalled scottish tradition in education requires a word of ex planation in a democratic sense it has been all to tho good and deserv ing of praise but from the social viewpoint as it has worked itself out in modern life it has been disastrous and deserving of condemnation tite scottish tradition means that every child born into a scottish home no matter how poor has an inalienable right to all the education of which he or she is capable of receiving this devotion to education was strongly urged by john knox at the reforma tion and is inwoven in the scottish character every parish had its school and dominie scotland led england in popular education by over 200 years education is a good servant but a hard master the scottish tradit ion in spreading knowledge widely has overemphasized the personal benefits of scholastic attainment success at school and university meant preferment position prizes and getting on in life so the schools have hecomo instruments for breed ing rugged individualism and the acquisitive spirit its philosophy is every man for himself and the devil tako the hindmost to the victor he- ong the spoils to him endowed with nifts let all the less gifted pay toll it is the compelling spirit of big business and capitalism this philosophy is inherent in the calvinism that john knox hammered into tho scottish character the pro- estamism of luther accepted by the germans and scandinavians is a sof- ler protestantism than calvins in part it explains why the cooperative spirit is possible in denmark and germany while tho competitive spir it holds in canadian life generally in wn and country the country has paid dearly for the scottish tradition it has built up tho town and ruled down the country tho educational tragedy of canada is that tho coun try has failed to retain for its own security such schools and schoolmas ters as might have given our farm folk equal educational opportunity with tho town country children have 500 teachers city children have the uoo teachers there is something wrong somewhere but scotland has turned over a new leaf in her afterwar reforms a lilts school act began the equalization ol educational opportunities for all chil dren including those living on farms they have taken the emphasis off the universityheaded lad opairts examinations prizes scholarships classics and honors scottish schools are now thinking more of serving the life needs of oulinary hoys and girls one of the department officials in edinburgh told me they were looking cor a new sort of teacher in scotland for their vpre schoolleaving ages not 0 much teachers of high acaoniic standing as teachers

schools since 19 is i can only lint at a few if minto were ill scotland the jcliools of the township would bu idmiiiistered by a export director under a county scheme with the school board one of the county coun cil committees all teachers would cceive the same salaries based on experience and academic standing the provincial grants would cover all teachers salaries secured from a pro- vincial income lax all the pupils would have regular medical dental and nursing supervision all the schools- would have expert instruct ion in music and singing every home in the township would be linked with the libraries in harriston clifford and palmerston through the schools if scotlands plan were followed the oneteacher country schools of minto would gradually bo replaced by two r threeteacher country schools at drew tevioldale etc with an agri cultural college graduate as princi pal living in a teachers residence alongside tho school he would be just as well paid as any teacher in town or city in tho winter months the older boys and girls would be back at school getting instruction in advanced studies along the lines of robertsons ideas as set forth in uie macdonald movement of thirty years

enthusiastic cooperation of the press mil radio war responsible for the success of our initial work in ontario and montreal last fall declared mr tisdale and the com mittee will continue its efforts on a dominionwide scale our aim is to acquaint canadian housewives with the varied and attractive possibili ties of fresh lamb and to have it more frequently included in the diet of every canadian family the increased consumption of fresh canadian lamb he pointed out will be of enormous benefit to farmers and sheepbreeders across canada and will contribute substantially to the return of agricultural prosperity so vital to economic stability increased lamb coiisumptror will also reflect favorably in every cana dian homemakers budget added mr tisdale explaining that recent improvements in feeding and mar keting have made fresh lamb uni formly available every month of the year at consistently moderate prices canada lags far behind other british countries with an annual per capita
