FRIDAY, MAKCH. 25, 1921 '^^$r8 $1.00 pkk Year- AMENDMENTS TO THE SCHOOL ACT I CAUSE CONSIDERABLE COMMENT The Minister of Education has introduced a bill into -the house to a- ineud the Public Schools Act of the. Pi ovine?.. This bill is causing-considerable comment both in and out of the House. Besides the many good points'that the bill contains it also contains BOihe that at the present time may or may not be in the intrests of the taxpayers of the province. ' The number of pupils required to establish a high school is to be changed from twenty to fifteen. In many country place and in small towns of the Fraser Valley, where the people have wanted to establish a high school it has often been found that, it^was hard to get the number required and the pupils have had to leave home and, attend high ^school in other parts of the province. In Abbotsford it has been hard to get ��������� the required ��������� twenty, but now tnat the act is to be changed here is a better chance that the number will be such that the superior school can be changed to a high school with all its advantages. ���������Superior schools may be established, according to the new amendment, where there are eight pupils and the last year of the public school course arid the first two years of the high ���������school work can be taught. Arrangements? are- also -to be'pro-" "vided "for the interchange of pupils between schools and for the accommodation of .either district of pupil? resident in the other, and may fix tho amount to be paid for the accommodation and instruction of such pupils, and "may also determine the schools such pupils may respectively attend. The consent of the ratepayers will have to be obtained. Trustees are given the option of having school during the months of July and August, the section in re-1 gard to this reading is as follows: j "The Board of Scliool Trustees" I may, at their discretion, maintain in operation during the months of July and August in any year one or moro class-rooms in any school building, with sufficient teachers, for the in- structionof pupils who have been unable to complete the work of the provious .schol year, and who desire, through study and attendance at school during the summer vacation to gain admission to a higher grade at the time of the reopening of the schools in September. All ex- expenses", and reads as traordinary follows. "The Board of School Trustees, instead of exercising the powers bestowed upon them under the other provisions of this section in respect of special or extraordinary expenses, may, on or before the fifteenth day of February in each year, cause to be prepared and laid before the Municipal Council a. detailed estimate of the sums required for special or extraordinary expenditure .for that year, which sums shall not in any one year exceed one mill on the dol-' lar of property assessable for school purposes in the municipal school district; and which sums shall be provided by the Municipal Council and shall be-kept in, a separate account by the municipal treasurer and paid over by him from time to time, upon the order of the Board of School Trustees, to the several persons to whom,such moneys are payable, any unexpended balance at the end of each year being kept in the account to the credit of the Board. It shall not be necessary by reason of anything contained in the 'Municipal Act" or in this Act for ' any by-law for the providing or raising of money -by a Municipal Council for purposes of this subsection to be submitted to orc receive the .assent ;,_.of the- electors-of"���������thV*"munlcipaTi'ty.'���������"" ��������� Then there is another clause which gives Trustee Boards the opportunity of building teachers' residences, wlien sanctioned by the Council of Public Instruction." Then another clause reads: "Where a united school district is created by the union of a city school district and a district municipality school district, or a high-school area is created by the- union of a city school district and one or more district municipality school districts,the municipal treasurer of the city municipality shall be the treasurer of the united school district or high school area, and the Board of School Trustees for the united school district or high-school area shall have power to pay part of the treasurer's salary, and to pay all expenses necessarily incurred by him upon the order of the Board in providing and disbursing moneys for school purposes The auditor of the united school district or high school area shall be appointed by the Municipal Council of the district municipality, or by the concurrent action of (.the several dis- the case may be Mllfi.

There is, however, a tendency', these days lo be jusl a little, critical of our present school results; and that is perhaps the reason for the question of education being so much to the lore these days in.discussion. ., We have thought that we have been doing excellent work m educating the boys and girls, but now that it is costing so many dollars, and appears lo be increasing during a period when we are much burdened with i.,_... i: ��������� i ill ". ��������� . ��������� . . .

A correspondent of the Toronto Telegram, writing of the English school system, savs of the process of elementary education in the Old Country that it "equips graduates with an amazing i'und of knowledge " More specifically, he says: "II enables every child to read a newspaper intelligently and intelligibly. When he turns his back on the schoohiouse he is able lo talk about and 'work' problems in practical geometry and mensuration, fractions, interest and the metric system. ) "He can read weather charts and explain the relation oi temperature, wind, rain and frost to plant growth. minprnUnf n "e "^Jghborhood are familiar and the -inch v,e venture totMnk VouhT^ mineuls of the earth generally-have been seriously S n Canadians both east and studied during the last school year.

But there are times when it is no moan thing to consider the value of an ideal, and one of those tiinen is fast approaching, if it is not already here. Just 500 years ago May 30th, our forefathers in .England were guilty of a breach of honor and of chivalrv against tho French in the burning of Joan of Arc, the heroine peasant girl who must stand for all time as (he personification of high idealism and patriotism. To this day we are ashamod of the thing, and make no attempt to gloss it over. Now as we approach the 500th anniversary of that hateful deed our suggestion is this: Here in Canada the children of France and of Eng-' land are Jinked together in one great nation.

The political question has been settled aiuh settled in the right way. Organization for business has had Its sponsors at previous conventions. The time for such is not yet���������atleast not on the grand or provincial-wide scale. . The task ahead is mainly educational. Analysing this, he or she who cares to think will find that.the keystone on which the union is built is the local secretary. In every portion of this province the government lias the oportunity of providing a legitimate and badly-needed ' helpmate in the agricultural or district representative. There are still some farmers who shy at the word "education." They may have attended the finest school's in the world, or imbibed rudimentary knowledge in a log shack, but they alike are frequently absolutely ignor ,mt. of the first principles governing the complex business world in which they are treated as pawns. Every captain of industry, every -oally great general, scientist, teach- ?r, philosopher, knows that he must forever be learning, must never 'nil to use every means to keep hlra- <?oir nbrest of modern developments and discoveries. . ������������������ Yet there are some farmers wnu think they have nothing to ��������� learn, nothing to gain���������much less give��������� from' meeting their fellows in conclave, be it of union or other organization. Some "haven't time." It is well-known that the busiest and most hardworking���������and frequently most successful���������men have always time to spare. P'arming is the host, complicated of all the occupations to be chosen by man. He who quickest gets "education" may go far, but not so far as when the farm community of which he is one member, collectively gets "farmer business sense."

B. Jackson, and others had made a spirited defence of their attitude to eliminate whai they termed was a growing evil. Mr. M. A. Macdonald led the atttack to the effect that property rights were affected in the bill., Mr. Bowser stated that it was all very well for the Islands (Mr. Jackson) pushing the bill, but he concurred with M. Mac- dronald and Mr. Jackson, who was so strong on constitutional matters, could so casually wipe out those Tights. Tourists and others who objected to these signs at the Pass couid go to the other side of the boat Mr. Jackson declared he had no intention of interfering with property rights. His bill was not reactionary. It was impossible to go from one side of..thc l)oat to the other as suggested by the Opposition leader in that the signs adorned both sides of the Pass. Major Burde���������Why not look at the sky? Mr. Jackson came back with the statement that Ontario had adopted such legislation, as lias New Zealand and a number of States in the United States. Mr. Pauline (Saan- ich) supported Mr. Jackson, but the bill was not reported to the Mouse which means that it is lost sight of for one year at least. Mr. Adam S.
