It has been proposed to set apart the sch iol day immediately preceding the 2-ith of May as Empire 'Day in the public schools. Last year the Dominion Educational Association adopted aresolution in favor of such an anniversary. In doing this they acted on a suggestion from Hon. G. W. Ross, Minister of Education for Ontario. '_I‘he department of Edu- cation for that province, the Protest- ant section of the Council of Public Instruction for Quebec and the Coun- cil of Public Instruction for Nova Scotia have all acted on the recom- mendation and set apart the 23rd of Mavthis year:to be celebrated in the schools under their control as the first Empire Day. The movement is not likely to stop there, but to extend throughout Can- ada and the Empire. The Toronto Globe notes that Lord Meath recently wrote a letter to the London Times calling attention to the action of the Ontario government, and adding; I “This appeared to me such an excel- 'lent idea, and one (especially if con- _ nected witha half-holidry ) so well cal- culated to advance the cause of unity within the empire, that I ventured to ask her Majesty’s Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he could not see his way to use his great indu- ence unoiiicially to push this movement throughout other portions of the empire o|that ultimately the antiive siry ot her Majesty’s birthday throughout the length and breadthot her dominiens might be .associated in the minds ot her subjects (especially of the young) with that vast empire which' has in so large a measu'e been the product ot her long and glori- ous reign.” Mr. Chamberlain expressed his cordial approval of the idea, coupled with the suggestion that in England the celebration might take place on the 24th. which it appears is not generally observed throughout the kingdom as a school holiday. As the time is now short and THE Gusnnnm would be very mence this year also in our very pat- riotic province-if the Board of Edu- cation should be willing- we subjoin a copy of the oiiicial circular sent to the school inspectors of Ontario, giv- ing suggestions as to the manner in which the day might be observed. We quote : ' ‘ “Part of the forenoon might be occu- pied with a familiar talk bythe teacher on the British Empire, its extent and resources; the relation of Canada to the empire; the unity of the Empire and its advantages; the' privileges which, as _British subjects, we enjoy, the extent oi Canada and its resources, readings from Canadian dnd British authors by the teacher; interesting historical in- cidents in connection with our own country. The aim of the teacher in all his references to Canada and the Empine shou’d be to make Canadian patriotism intelligent, comprehensive and strong. The afternoon, commencing at 2.30, miitht be occupied with- patriotic re. citations, songs, readings by the pupils and speeches by trustees, clergyman and such other persons as may avail- able. The trustees and public generally sliouid beinvited to be present at these exercises. During the day the “British flag or Canadian ensigu should be hoisted over the school building.” We venture that when once a be- ginning is made teachers and pupils alike will find it a congenial task to i devote a few hours to the _ consider- ation of imperial and patriotic sub- I I so-on Q they are worth fighting for.
