RURAL INSTRUCTION

(For many years this island cn- joyed the distinction of having an Educational system second to 110110 in Canada. Our country schools, were. with very few exceptions, suo cessfully conducted and there were few indeed. if any that did 110i contribute their quota of men and women to the ranks of the learned professions. Unfortunately. howev

lthe services to

little as possible and so do her‘

er, the successful the school was the worse it was for the community. The and women thus educated W810 obliged to seek elsewhere for 4 living and for the practice of their profession. instead of helping to build up the country that educated them they went abroad to build up other countries. and to lhfl cre-

more

_\'011ng men

dit of our little province we have sent abroad more educated men and women in pr0p0fl1011 l0 0111' population than any other province in Canada.

Tho aim 0f.0111‘ educational sys- tem is not to train mcn and worn- the boy

cn for usefulness elsewhere; country that educates a or girl has the first claim upon be rendered by that education. and licre it was that our educational system fell short in some respects at least. We educate very many of our best young men and women away from their native province, away from tiiefarm, away from the calling upon which we depend for our liv- lng.

ln recent years we have ‘been making spasmodic efforts to coi- rect this error of our past. We have been trying to educate the boys and girls to the farm. This process is also liable to miscarry. it. would be. a serious mistake to attempt to train iboys {and girls in that laying the

farming during the itluio should be devoted to foilndations for a general educat- ion. tiie kind of education that all mcn and women require in what- ever calling they may adopt. Ou- aim must be to give them sucll a groundwork in the public school as will fit them for any callingl To force their inclinations towards farming or any other tmde or pro’- fcssion would be to place :1 handi- cap upon them from which they would never recover. Every trade and every profession is full of failures and misfits because thcir choice was made for them. not by them.

in a purely agricultural country like ours much can Ihc done by the prhdcnt teacher to influence the child towards the farm. The pleas- ure and profitabieness and useful- ness ol‘ farming may be dwelt up- on to tho advantage and the guid- ance of the ambitious boy or girl. The independent life of thc far- mcr as contrasted with the do» pendent and uncertain ilfc in the city may be-profitably pointed out and the contrast will appeal ‘he dliilil. (The; essential matter is to give the child a generous educational foundation upon which to build a life of intelligence and use fulness and, in such a country as ours there is no calling in which intelligence and usefulness can be more comfortably cultivated than in farming. This idea kept contin- uously ibefore the pupils will do more towards turning them to the farm than all the homliles that can be preached to them on the grow-lug of crops and the feeding of stock.

pie purely for dishonest party pro- paganda. knows this to be thc fact. but yet they keep up the practice. The real substance of the matter is that Canada was fortunate enough to be able to ne- gotiate a special trade treaty with the West indies. which will stimulate trade Ibetween both coun- tries to the special advantage of the Dominion.

By the tcmns of vthis treaty the products of both countries were to have preferential tariff treatment to that given to outside countries: the potatoes. manufactured ar- ticles and other products of Can- ada were to vbe admitted free. or at reduced rates of duties. into these profitable markets. ensur- ing to our producers the most in- estimsblo of advantages. We in return were dbligded to permit

other countries, in

upon similar terms into Canada. That elect might be given to the conditions of this treaty it be- came necessary to revise the ts- rlff on such articles as against many p cases countries which do not produce them but only sells at second hand, and this is what the Government. has done. 1t cannot and does not add to the cost of the article. which, coming from the indies the natural place of production. at lower duties than prior ito this treaty, must of necessity be cheap er instead of dearer as the result 0f this vastly important deal. And yet the hard~up busynbodles of the ‘Mackenzie King clan would try to exploit it untruthfully for political cifcct.

Thc Toronto Globc. the father 6f Grit gyration, has dressed up one of the old time hogefs in brand new clothes and sent it out to frighten the people. 1n the sales tax it secs a gigantic ma- chine which will operate "in res- traint of trade. both domestic and foreign." ln common sense does the Globe or anyone else know of any system 0f taxation that will not have just such an cffect in pro- portion as lt is applied? is not the cost of the paper and twine around the merchant's parcel, to the extent ofits value just as much a "restraint. of trade" as any system of taxation ever yet dc- vised? Has thc Globe devised or even suggested any method by which a revenue can bc raised. outside of the Mackenzie King hot air processes, ivhich will pay the interest on our iblg war debt, or provide for the inevitable cost of carrying on the business of the country? iNeltlier ithe _ llllberal leader's wind bag utterances nor the Globe's senseless tirade could be cashed for a ten cent piece as contributory l0 this revenue.

Miss Pankliurst Now Becomesfl ilutlioress

'1

Not long ago tlierc appeared ‘in the following advertisement:

"Miss (‘hristabelPankhurst (ow- ing to the victorious termination of her leadership in the cause of “Iomelfs Political cnfranchlse- ment) seeks remunerative non- political work." Miss Pankhurst probably had many responses to the advertisement. One which it is known that she accepted was from the Weekly Despatch to write ah lstory of hcr life and of the fight for tile ballot. Several instal- ments have appeared, all of them strikingly huniorless. Miss Pank- liurst writes with great severity. and surely reveals the tempera- ment of the fanatic. She regards the struggle for the ballot as one ofthe most important events la English history. it is not likeiy that her own judgment of what she has accomplished will be con- firmed by more dispassionate ob- servers when they have the time to reckon tho effects upon English political life of the woman voter. But would the ballot have been gained had the leaders not work- ed themselves into a sort of frenzy and convinced themselves that the very fate of civilization tlcpcndcil upon their success?

The Real Leader.

Miss Chrlstahel was thc rcnl loader in the struggle. Hcr mother was thc pioneer of the militants, but for the two or three years bc- fore thc war she was spending s0 much of her time in prison that it was impossible for her to direct the movement. Then, when sjc was released, she was obliged to lrcst in order to recover from the effev-IB 0f her hunger strikes. Hcr (laughter was also arrested more than once, but in March, 1912, she escaped to Paris. and from there directed the efforts of her suffra- gcttes. Though Miss Pankhurst would not desire to give the iiii- prcsslon. one gathers that when tho war broke‘ out thc militants were about on their last logs. Tllcy were being imprisoned. and thc fact that gently nurtured wt.- mcn would smash windows and serve a jail term instead of pay- lhg a. fina liad ceased to be a nov- elty. The public wus wcarying of their antics. Their offces were lic- ing raided and tho Government was about to make it an offence 1'01‘ 0118 to subscribe money to [ha cause. Miss Christabcl hiid bccn chased out of the country. li ""0815 llllfll-Zetlier probable that the niilithnt movement would have been a failure had tho war not in tcrvened.

Then Cams the War

No one has dlsparaged thc work of the suffragettes in the struggle with Germany. Mrs. Pankhuri-it and her daughter proved as loyal to their country as they had been self-sacrificing for the cause of thc suffrage. They realized that ii Britain lost, the vote would never be theirs, nor would it matter if it were. So they urged all their sup- porters to forget the vote for the time being and turn in behind the Government. This they did, and it is for this reason that thcy have the franchise todliy. it wns not their peace-time arguments Ol their peace-time strategy that, won the vote. it was the fact that. they Proved loyal and helpful in the war, and the general knowledge that without the women, the war could never have ‘been won. w...‘ men were given the vote as a re- ward. Mlen. we suppose would hardly consider the IbOOfl ndequaw The Pankhursts, however, are pm oi’ that opinion. To them nothing is of real importance in political affairs except the right n1 woman to cast a ballot.
