The letter was writâ€" ten to The Toronto Mail and Empire, but The Adâ€" vahce would like to see it reprinted in every newsâ€" paper in Ontario. It is in effeéect a challenge to Ontario, and the province is falling behind its oldâ€" time standards if it does not respond to the chalâ€" lenge if that challenge is made wide enough and broad enough to reach the ears of all. The case is stated in restraint, but The Advance believes it pu,turcs the depressing situation of too many settâ€" lers in this North. Settlers who have no milk for their children, because of the season and the difâ€" fic'pltics encountered! Even the wild berry crops seéem to have failed this season in many areas! No work! No money! little hope! No means of repairâ€" ing the leaking roof on the home, because there is no money, no work! The letter stresses the fact that the settlers in question are not seeking relief not want relief. In many cases they are on the homesteads in the North in a valiant struggle to keep off relief. "They are only asking for what they were promisedâ€"to become selfâ€"supporting farmers," as the letter says. "We do not ask for extra relief or a clothing order, we are willing to continue to wear the rags we have and go short on food, if we can get a chance to be selfâ€"supporting." That is a spirit ‘that should appeal to Canadiansâ€"to the people of Old Ontario. All through the North there are setâ€" tlers who have pioneered in the most patient and courageous way. They have made gallant strugâ€" cle to be independent, to be selfâ€"supporting. When their case is presented, there is always somebody to quote the failures, the inefficient, the lazy, the each year should be apparent. It is surprising, t0oo, how small a sum would make the difference beâ€" tween progress and failure for the earnest settlers. For years The Advance has been advocating a plan that would help the honest settler and show up the indolent or the careless. This plan is that of a bonus for clearing land. Such a plan has worked wonders in Quebec in assisting colonization and making it permanent, The Henry government promised to inaugurate this bonus plan in Ontario. It is idle to say that the peopleâ€"of the North voted wasters, as a reason why all should be allowed to suffer. The need for a small amount of actual cash solidly against the Henry government and all 1ts| works. The North, like the rest of Ontario, votedl for a changeâ€"possibly without much thought of| details br particulars. To talk about the verdict of | the people two years ago will not help the settler l toâ€"day. For the credit of the province, for the honâ€"| our of the people of Ontario, something must be done and done at once to help the settiers. It will| pay to do the right thing. A landâ€"clearing bonus‘ along the same lines as in Quebec will give the right| kind of settlers the chance to make good. Its moneâ€" ! tary cost to the province will be much less than direct relief. To cover the present need, it should be made retroactive, so that the settlers should be rewarded for their labours in the past and enâ€" couraged to renewed effort and courage for the future. It will be found that a landâ€"clearing bonus will meet the needs of the settlers who are likely to make good. Those who have no chance for the future should be moved away from the hardships over which they are unable to triumph. In the past year or two settlers have been in specially serious plight because the one means of making a little cash through roadwork has been lacking. Until a better plan had been.evolved the roadwork should have been continued at fair wage. It did give the settler a little assistance, and it helped the country through keeping the roads from tuin. But it took the settlers‘ attention from their real businessâ€"that of building homes and farms. Still it was better than the demoralizing direct relief. The real solution, however, seems to be the land bonus. The settler, under such a plan, earns his money, and on the other hand the country will have any advances of this kind returned in the new farms, the new homes, the new business and the new prosperity and contentment that will be created.

The need for something of this sort was apparent in this country. There were so many families living in isolated areas where there were no schools within reach of the children and where conditions and circumstances made it impossible to establish schools, that unless some new plan were adopted literally thousands of children would have no chance for any education. Correspondence courses were successful in British Columbia, in Alberta and in other provinces and states. Why not try them in Ontario? The trial was made some ten years ago, and the results have exceeded the most sanâ€" guine expectations. The first year there were only a few hundred enrolled for these courses. Toâ€"day there are over two thousand pupils taking the courses. That means that literally thousands of children have been given the benefits of education who would have been deprived of these advantages were it not for the Correspondence Courses. The child who can get to a post office only once in two _or three weeks can have the benefit of the Ontario Correspondence Course without any cost but the i postage, and if that small expense is too much even that can be arranged. The Correspondence Courses have made good in truth the old Ontario boast that every child in this province should have the right and the opportunity for education. : It did not take long to convince the Dept. of 1 1 Education that the correspondence course idea was 1 practical. The British Columbia authorities were so enthusiastic and desirous of sharing the good | with the sister province that they made it easy to !establish the value and the practicability of the | course. The Dept. of Education were able not only to work the plan in this province with notable sutâ€" cess, but they have extended the scope of the course in outstanding way. Not only those too far from iSchool, but crippled children, youngsters in hosâ€" pital and other institutions and those for any other reason debarred for any material part of the year l'from the benefits of school attendance, find the | need met by the Correspondence Courses. The ‘ courses originally took children only as far as the | I | | High School Entrance, but now have extended the lservice to Lower School Examinations. There is no doubt of the value or the success of the Correspondence Courses, There are young people in Timmins, for instance occupying responâ€" sible positions who have received their education through the Ontario Correspondence Courses. Other towns in the North could make similar cilaim. Their daily work is proof of the efficiency of the system. It must be admitted that a great measure of the outstanding success of the Correspondence Courses has been due to the superintendent, Dr. Neil Mcâ€" Dougall. From the outset he gave his best talent and his most earnest effort to make the courses a success. His patience, his kindness, his personal interest in each pupil seemed to know no limits. And around him there has grown up a staff of notâ€" able ability, with the same heart interest, the same devotion. Under such people, and with the hearty coâ€"operation of the department under each sucâ€" ceeding head, the Correspondence Courses have been successful in the truest meaning of the word. This week some improvement is noted in the Ferguson highway, or rather some improvement in a part of the Ferguson highway. The section from Monteith to Swastika has been reported by those using the highway during the weekâ€"end as in good condition. It is by no means perfect yet, but a little work has so greatly improved it that it is surprising that similar attention is not given to the rest of the highway. The section from Monâ€" teith to Timmins is still in disgraceful state and the stretches of road from Swastika to near New Liskeard and from Latchford to North Bay conâ€" tinue as menaces to safety and to health. It is true that the improvement between Monteith and swastika is not permanent, but the condition of the other parts of the highway mentioned is so deplorable that the Monteithâ€"Swastika stretch is hailed as something worthy of special note. In the bad sections of the roadway the conditions are very bad. In some places there is not sufficient room for two cars to pass in safety, this condition being due to the roadway being partly washed away. Culverts also constitute a major dangetr, while many bridges are in sad need of attention. With part of the road fixed up, as least for the present, it is very sincerely to be hoped that badly needed repairs will be made to the rest of the highâ€" A gentleman coming over the road last week suggested on his arrival at Timmins that the Ferâ€" guson highway would never receive proper attenâ€" tion so long as it bore that name. "If we call the hichwav the "Henburn hisgshway," (this gentleman guson highway would never 1 tion so long as it bore that n; highway the "Hepburn highw suggested) "we may get sor suggested) "we may get some attention." Well "Ferguson Highway"‘ is scarcely an appropriate name for the present highway. Hon. G. Howard was always fairly smooth. Why not compromise? Why not call the section from Monteith to Swasâ€" tika the Ferguson highway? And the other secâ€" tions the Hepburn highway. They seem to be prétty rough.

Probably for the first time on record, a Commissioner of Taxation has comâ€" posed an official reply in rhyme to a taxpayer seeking time to pay. The taxâ€" paver was poetic. He couched his appliâ€" cation to the Commissioner in a movâ€" ing rhythm with a pathetic jingle, but the Commissioner (Mr. R. W. Chenoâ€" weth) was poetic too. He adopted the same rhythm and jingle for his reply and gave the taxpayer time to pay. The taxpayer‘s plea was: "Myv friend. if I may call thee friend "My friend, if I may call thee friend, Who yearly through the post doth send That interesting billet doux, Which says that income tax is due, I really find it very hard To thank thee for thy New Year card. Now though my taxes I‘d not shirk, I‘m still a who‘s out of work, And as my family older grows, So with them grow financial woes And though my album‘s looking gay, With all the stamps I‘ve put away, It needs another page or two To see the business nicely through. And so the cbject of this rhyme Is just to seek some further time In which I may the stocking fill To liquidate your bill." Mr. Chenoweth‘s reply, which the taxpayer has just received, was.â€" "My friend, for this T‘ll call thes friend Your metric plea my heart to rend Quite proves a slip, for many more Load up my desk with troubles sore, If heed be paid to all their woes, The State‘s deficit larger grows. Still, penury that breeds such wit Must really have an answer fit. Till end of March we‘ll let it pend, Then cash and stamps together send. The stamps referred to are tax inâ€" stalment stamps, which may be purâ€" chased at post offices at any time and ussd to pay State taxes when the deâ€" nartment issues its assessment.
