IHE BHABIIITTETUWN GUARDIAN

TUESDAYfOCTOBERTZG, 1920

(‘.\ USE FOR .\ X XI ICTY

We publish with pleasure, not ‘wholly free from humiliation, the letter of Rev. W. I. Green in \this issue. 1 , Our correspondent, after an absence of ten years, sees this province as it is and has a distinct recollection of what it was ten tdtwenty years ago. He sees material prosperity on every hand, a marked improvement in the farms. ‘farm buildings, stock and the general comfort of the people, and,_ in our schools, retrogression, "child teachers receiving child salaries" and, worst of all, the parents apparently ignorant of the drift in which they and their children are involved.- How far we have drifted can be seen only by those whose memory can carry them back to the conditions of ten, twenty and even thirty years ago. To these the drift is a tragedy. 'I‘oday, men and women are expending their energies in chasing dol- lars and cents. the children. where there are child- ren, g'enerall_v helping their parents and possibly at- tending school when there is nothing to do at home; then. the school was full of children: was the centre and the pride of the community: the parents l were determined that whether the calves and the pigs and the cattle were cared for or not_ the children must go to school, the school must be kept up, the teacher must be the best available. Many things have happened to bring about this condition. Great numbers of our young men and women have left the province; children who should have been born _in the province are born elsewhere; many of our homes are childless; many of our schools have so few children in attendance that they are looked upon as a sort of unnecessary burden to be currictl with as little expense zis-possible. Altogether it has been a (lcvoltltion. slow, gradual], insidious; it Iias grown upon us until. lWfOPQ wo realized it, our schools fell into thc hands of “child teachers recciv- int" child satlarics” because thcsc were the cheapest, .-tod_ at last, because they were the only ones avail- able. I This is true only of our country’ schools and for- tunately’ there are many shining exceptions. Some of our schools are doing as good work as they ever did but we fear the other kind make up the rule. Other causes forour retrogression might also be mentioned. In our insane haste to‘ become rich and retain our population, we have begun the impossible task of making farmers of our boys and girls in school. The child who is to become a successful farmer" and a useful citizen capable of properly) en- joying life and of being of service to his country- uist have as sound a foundation to build upon as the child who is to become a doctor, a clergynnan or any other of the so called professions. This foundation can be laid only in the common school. and we arc neglecting it. letter to the Fruit Department is a striking example». of this. A man may be ‘successful’ in raising crops and stock. but he is neither a successful farmer nor a useful citizen if he has not enough education to take an intelligent interest in world events and stand shoulder to shoulder with the leaders in his commu- nit_v. The foundation for this intelligence must lt-c laid in the common school.

What inﬂuences are being brought to bear upon this vital question? Our correspondent asks “Can not the spiritual leaders of the people, the clerg_v_ do something”? Unfortunately, in too many cases the spiritual leaders are in the same predicament as thc teachers; In too many cases the Church, like the school, is regarded ‘as a burden and the clergy have all they can do to secure their own stipends. Here also, unless we wake up, we may ﬁnd the “child teacher receiving a child’s salary." Our churches unfortunately are not exercising the inﬂuence over our school matters which they ought to exercise.

The subject might be continued indeﬁnitely. In the meantime we commend-to our readers a careful perusal‘ of Mr. Green's letter. It will certainly czulsc some serious thinking; may we not hope that it will also result in the “stirring up" he tells us is so I1cccssur_v? r. .

The present strike in England is probably the

most ‘far reaching in its effects of any of which we have any record. Should the railwzrv and transport "men go out, as they threaten to do if a satisfactory’ settlement of the miners’ strike is not eﬁected, it will be as disastrous to British trade and industry‘ as the war was. , It is interesting to rccall the history of mining strikes in Great Britain. As far back as 1756 the Northumberland miners struck for several weeks, hut they were obliged to resume work without any betterment of their condition.

In 1893 the ‘biggest strike ever then recorded iuBritish mining took place affecting the whole coal mining area, about 300,000 men being out at once. In this dispute the miners refused to recognize the prin ciple that wages should follow prices and insisted on Ia “living wage”. The government intervened in this lstrike and succeeded in effecting a settlement.

These were the principal strikes in thc coal min- _

ring ‘business but they were all settled with more or less dislocation of business, and with great loss to ithe miners themselves although in the end the min- ers made more gains than losses. How the present trouble will end it is too soon o-n v : r- 41; o;_ |- i :;‘:|
