=“==_ WEDNWsDAY, SEFT-ivn-EMLB R s, 1920 " SCHOOL FAIRS.

The usual arrangements are being made for the

Vlanpual school fairs which will be held this year dur-,

ing the latter half of September, the exact dates in the different localities to be announced in due time. I, The school fair is now an established institution ‘in this province and a most appropriate one for an 1 almost exclusively agricultural country. Theattract- liveness as well as the profitableness of farming is exemplified in this annual competition among the {young and in this way many of them ﬁre diverted from the spectacular and often slavish life of the city to the more whoesome, more independent and infin- itely more attractive and profitable work‘ on the farm. In the vast majority of cases the boy who leav- es the farm for the uncertain life of the city makes , a mistake. He may have more fun while the fun lasts, ‘there is the “afterwards,” the settling down in life. the making of a home—-t0wards which the eyes and the hearts of all young people should be directed?- and these are seldom acquired through the uncertain employment available in the city. The proportion of successes in profcssionaL industrial and commercial life is painfully small, the great majority go through life as employees and dependents upon others; the few, the very few rise to independence and success. This truth, and an awfultrtlth it is, should be relig- iously instilled into the minds of the country child- ren. For the great majority in this province the farm offers the most independent, the most useful and the most contented life. The school fair is one of the means through

, which the certainty and the satisfaction and the pro-

fitableness of farm life can be presented; it associat- es useful, productive work with educationandthe in telligence that comes only through education} 1t plac es the school and the farm side by side and gives the child a picture of what can be achieved by an u‘.- telligentcolnbination of school and farm life.

We trust that in the fairs abdut to be held the teachers and the parents will co-operate enthusiastic ally and make this year's fairs the best yet held. Ev- ery year should see an improvement over the last, should see more entries," more and better exhibits. The children 0f today are the men and women of a very few years hence and of the real successes of the coming years it is a safe prediction that the great majority will be farmers and farmer’s wives.

E.\"ITI{.\ (ll"l"I(‘I.\I.S

A prolific cause of complaint throughout the province is the belief that the government is con- cealing its doings and its purposes from the people. One instance of this came to our notice yesterday when a farmer showed us a tax notice which he had received from a new ofﬁcial whose name he had not

tion. This official designated himself “Income Tax As sessor.” Two other assessors on land taxes had pre- viously revealed themselves to our caller; this made at least three in this one constituency. There are fif- teen constituencies in the province which would in- dicate that there are at least forty five of these tax

' gathering officials. Why this concealment? Why has

not the government been candid with the people and

" revealed the names and number of these new offi-

cials? Are they afraid to let it be known that in- stead of reducing ofﬁcials as they promised they have increased them? The people who are paying the sal- aries of these new oﬂicials have a right to know who they are and what their duties are. The government is only adding to the growing suspicion by concealing the facts. How many of these new tax ofﬁcials are there? Who are they? What are their duties?

STRIKES.

The strike as a weapon of offence or defence may, under certain conditions, become a boomerang. This has happened recently in France and more re- cently in England. In Paris the compositors went on strike and either tied up or crippled practically all the newspapers and other publications. In retalia- tion the writers went on strike and refused to supply the compositors when they came back, with copy.

The other day in Manchester the compositors of the Manchester Guardian went on strike demanding a wage that the publishers considered exorbitant. Rather than yield to the unjust demand the publish- ers closed down the plant and for the first time in seventy-five years the Manchester Guardian did not

effect produced was in the nature of a sensation. The effect upon business was almost paralyzing, Few realize as they read their daily paper as regularly las they take their meals what a blank occurs when the paper stops even for a day or two. It will be remem- bered that when the Winnipeg papers stopped publi- cation some months ago because of the want of paper a veritable panic seized the people; the most alarm- ing rumors were circulated and the most extraordin- ary means were taken to ascertain the actual con- dition of affairs. Business was almost paralyzed and merchants under the impression that the cause of the trouble was a strike among the employees asked the publishers to pay the demand and divide the ex- tra cost among the advertisers.

The effect in Manchester and Liverpool was some what similar and public opinion turned fiercely against the strikers as ‘he sole cause of a wrong and a public injury. Som day the striker will go too fal- and bring about a s rike which will "deprive him of his livelihood and this will probably be the first real remedy for unjustifiable strikes.

lDr. Cyrus McMillan who he criticised our educational syctem ‘had certainly no political objective a was surely not inﬂuenced by an ulterior motive. He ls e whole- souled Liberal and his observa- tions, which have called iorth a long land lstrong reloin€er llrom Hon. w. M. Lea, were tho honest expressions of his deep interest, backed up t-y experience and sound Judgment, on the question of edu- cation. His anxiety for the better- ment o! this exceeded his admir- ation ior the party. That the Doc- tor, residing in Montreal. would only be acquainted with statistical details from hastily gleaned infor- mation is most. natural, yet M'r.. ‘Lea pounces ulpon one or two un- important, but not established, dis- crepancies as part of his attempt at reply. The knowledge, common to everybody, that $18,000 was avail- able irom the Dominion grant for technical education. was a sane ground upon which to assume that it "w... accepted. But whether ac~ (Irlllﬁil or sacrificed 1t did not a1’- fect the poignancy of the Doctor's indictment that our llighsy quali- fied and efficient "Surperlntendent of‘ Education was obliged to go to such ii plat-c as Willtie, Su=k., [to obtuln ll livelihood at his protes- aiun." Mr. Lee's declaration, sup- ported in u measure by Colonel Campbell himself, thafsalury was not the consideration, makes the matter still "more shameful. There can be two other reasons for his removal, political madness, or want oi‘ sympathy and support in his important task, either one of lwhlch would be criminal upon the part 01' the Government. I Mr. Lea then takes exception to lll» Doctor's statement reflecting upon the "deplorable state oi’ ul- lails," "about 100 schools being va- cant," but seems equally vague himself in not being a-blo to declare the correct number. lt matters little whether it is fifty or n hun- tll'k'(l, nor tines ll minimize the force ot"'Dr. McMlllans argument that "a drplorabie state of affairs ox- isle." His ground was in full ac- cord with that which the Guardldn has frequently DTQFSHl upon the Government, tliat the scale of sal- aries provided for the teachers did not adequately meet the situation. with these “depict-abie" results. And’ at this late hour even the lion. Mr. Lea is constrained to admit that we were right and that they "all realize that teachers are not paid sufficient salary." lie is far wide of the mark in his statement, or inference that the "professional man" or "labourers" have the pri- vllcgo oi “pricing their services." On the contrary tilt-y are tied down by the more powerful laws of com- petition lmll supply and demand, u-llich too often pinches them down below the status of the salaried man. ills claim that “the sent‘.- ment of our people in lhls respect must.‘ undergo a rapid change if our clevcrest people can be expect- ed to fit themselves for the leach- ing profession" would be more weighty if the example bud been sct by the Government when the matter was so persistently urged llpon them.

We are glad to find Mr. Lea conl- illg into full accord with the Guar- dian upon at least one, question, that is the supreme importance oi. “The education of our ‘children and

ln a tow Ontario constituencies Liberal and Conservative politi- clans have discussed the ﬂdvllﬂbll‘ ity of naming fusion candidates. representing both parties, in order to put up a united front atllllflﬁl the Farmers’ Party, and JIFOU-‘cl the country from the menace of group government. From our oul— look this seems an unwise proposal We live in a free country in which every interest has u right to be heard. Our farmers average up. to a degreeci’ intelligence that fully qualifies very many of them for the most important of legislative duties, and their influence properly directed in parliament can easily be for the benefit of the country. We believe in a good funnel-s re- presentation in the councils or Cnn~ ada. But we concur in the coll- clusions reached that “g~roup" par- ties are a “menace? and that Euc- tlon control by any section or class would be the most undesirable thing possible ln the government of the country. By umlalgamutlng with either the Conservative or Liberal parties, representing ever," variety and class oi’ thought and cvcry commercial and industrial in- forest, and which ever oi’ these parties best meet their ideals ol good government, we will be in- finitely better served, t-han by even u strong selection 0i our own num- ber, isolated and opposed to -uli outside interests.

To suggest that the interests ol‘ the farmers oi’ Queen's County, for instance, wollld not be as well safe- guarded by Mr. Alexander Martin, Mr. John -H.

Sinclair the Liberal nominee, as by any dia- llnctly and exclusively farmers re- presentative, would lle to invite ridicule. ln point oi tact their influence on behnlr o! agriculture would be the stronger because oi the backing and aulpport they would have from the other Interests wltn which they would be associated. Nor h it reasonable to believe that the electors o! this province will have less colliffdpncs in such meal as these than in other equally good men, representing not the whole sl- though possibly a large proportion oi their own fraternity.
