The patrons of Industry of Waterloo Co. held a meeting in the C. 0. F. hall here last Saturday afternoon. The attendance was large and representaâ€" tive. From one of its prominent members we learn that the object of the meeting was to consider the advisâ€" ability of bringing out candidates in the two Waterloos to contest the next o:il and D m inion elections in their interest. _ After some discussion it was decided to submit the Patrons‘ Platâ€" form to the candidates of each of the two political parties and if none of them will pledge themselves to support it another convention will be called to nominate candidates to contest both ridings in the interest of the Patrons. Below will be found the Platform of the Grand Association for Ontario of the Patrons of Industry of North America adopted at London on Sept. 22nd, 1891 : Mr. Donald Guthrie, of.

It happened that the wire on the so called "Farmers‘ Telephone" line along Mr. Abr. Snyder‘s farm between here and Hespeler broke and of course fell to the ground and stopped business for o short time when Dr. Ochs of Flespeler happened to notice the break and being interested in the line immediately took steps to put it in working order. Not being able to climb the pole to bringl the two ends together he attached them Our worthy. Minister of Education, who, we all know, is a thorough politiâ€" cian, is beset on all sides by deputaâ€" tions, clamoring that this and that subject be added to the Public School Course. Here is the Women‘s Chrisâ€" tian Temperance Union asking that Temperance be taught in the Public School, there, the Farmers‘ Union are erying "So many of eur boys are leavâ€" ing the farm. To prevent this, Agriâ€" culture must be taught in the Public Schools." "Very well," says the Minâ€" ister, "we will add Agriculture to the Course," and soanother burden is flung on the shoulders of the patient, longâ€" suffering public school teachers, and the poor youngsters under his tuition. Not long ago it occurred to some one ‘that the lower forms in the High Schools were overâ€"crowded with boys ‘a,nd girls much too young to grasp inâ€" telligently the instruction given in these institutions, and that they would gain more by remaining another year under the tuition of the public school teachers.. _ Whas is done? A fifth form is added to the Public School ‘Course, and public school teachers are expected to do this additional work for the pittance of salaries they have hereâ€" tofore received, and what is still more unjust, â€"they are expected to advance their pupils at the same rate as before. Children are hurried through the course as rapidly as possible. There is nothing but cram, .cram, cram. â€" The system demands it. There is no getâ€" ting over it. Consequently, children leave school with a smattering, superâ€" ficial knowledge of a great many subâ€" jects and a thorough knowledge of mone. We need not be surprised to hear business men complain that our education is not pract‘=al. Tt is neith] er thorough nor practical. There not sufficient time to make it, either the one or the other. _ The tendency is to make the system a mere machine, and the teacher an engineer skilled in running this machine. He who can run it so as best to cram his pupils with sufficient knowledge to pass the various examinations is the most deâ€" sirable servant of the public. I am not opposed to raising the standard for the H. School Examinaâ€" tion, but L think it should be done by raising the percentage of the marks required to pass, not by putting more subjects on the curriculum. The aim of all true education should be to fit boys and girls for life, for the world such as it is, and I am afraid the presâ€" ent public school curriculum does not tend that way. Mr. Wi. Bannick is having a week‘s rest from thresbiog as be and a numâ€" ber of his customers have quite a lot of fall plougbing yet to do. He is having a very big season‘s work this year corâ€" sidering the shortness of the straw . . . . Mr. Jacob Woolner, sen., has just reâ€" turned from a trip to Michigan where he was looking after the farm of his son, Isaac, who was so unfortunate last August as to lose a leg. . . . Mr. Fredk. Leavenduski of Portage la Prairie is again in the neighborhood and some people think he has come to get a comâ€" panion for life. _ Hoping to hear the views of others interested in the subject of education, I remain, Nearly all teachers were men. _ Pupils were taught the three R‘s. Education as far as it went was eminently pracâ€" tical. What do we see now! From 70 to 80 % of the teachers are women. Men are crowded out of their positions by unfair competition. Salaries have baen lowered until the starvation point is reached, and for the pay in most schools no honest man can make a livâ€" ing, raise a family and lay something by for a rainy day. The Curciculum has been altered to such an extent that one of the old teachers can no longer recognize it. To the original three R‘s a multiplicity of subjects has been adâ€" ded that a child preparing for the Enâ€" trance Examination, has a list of subâ€" jects staring in its face, the very sight of which is enough to diseust it with its studies for life. This manyâ€"headed monster of a curriculum is, in my humâ€" ble opinion, leading to the degeneraâ€" tion of our educational system into a mere machine. ability of lum as a n give som with the a discuss interest mabiers. wet us loc Nearly all t were taucht Di > Public School Curriculum if our Public Sch reans to fit our b al life and I w of my views to 1ope that they m n which may l einge taken in Yours respectfully, A.
