have se cured teachers who are capable who love school work and are interested in children as individuals not merely as parts of the mass of children who have to go through school other schools are

done until some fine day ho cuts off the government grant and then you know where yoitr school be longs good bad or indifferent if you dont know and the school is not what it should be you as parent or ratepayer are likely to blame partly for poor school conditions you know best as to that the purpose of the school a primarly public school is an in stitution in which children are taught to use tho tools by which they may secure an education the chief tools are reading writing and arithmetic these are tho foundation of all that may he learned from books it is the business of the school through its teacher to teach these subjects thor oughly and correctly it this part of what is usually called an education is carelessly taught or learned then what is taught later cannot be well learned watch the boys scribbler if it is dirty and the words are incor rectly spelled if additions and sub tractions are inaccurate it is a mat ter serious enough to require immedi ate improvement and no amount of miscellaneous information can take i the place of thoroughness in thesa three subjects the next purpose of the school is to teach the child to live happily and use- i fully with himself and with others to attain this end information must be r imparted discipline must be en- forced inspiration to learn must be given and right ideals taught by pre cept and example j finally the school should teach good citizenship not merely waving j the flag and singing o canada but learning to bo proud of those duties j of citizenship which likely will begin with filling mothers wood box and j may end in representing canada as its i premier the government pays largo grants to rural schools much larger than to urban schools and has a right to ex pect that tho schools shall produce good
