Favor County Division For Education Purposes Drastic changes in the present secondary school system are called for in a 13â€"point brief approved by York County Education committee in session this week to prepare recom- mendations for a revised system as invited by the provincial government. A. committee will meet members of the provincial secondary school com- mittee at Queen’s Park, Aug. 12, to discuss the whole situaltion, which was, in the opinion of York county committee members, “serious.” The whole brief was based on an effort to reduCe the costs of education. It is stated that the brief, which will‘ be mailed to the government at an: early date, contains the following recommendations, approved by the committee, and in part by York county council: (1) Because the suburban munici- palities were not able to raise as much money for school purposes since they did not have the some corporation taxes, the county be divided into two sections â€" one urban and one suburban. The urban section shall be controlled, as far as edu- cation goes, by the Toronto board of education, with the urban section electing a proportionate number of members to the board. (2) That school teachers’ salaries be standardized all through the province so that suburban districts could get. the same high class type of teacher as the city, which they are unable to do now because they cannot pay as high wages. (3) The cost of education be standardized, so that no matter where a pupil went to a secondary school in the province the 005ts would be the same.

There were too many pupils, it was asserted, in school at too early an age. They were wasting not only their time but the government’s money. (5) That the public boards who spend all the money do their share toward raising it. (7) Elimination from the curri culum of unnecessary subjects, to be replaced by those of more practical benefit, such as farming. (8) Abolition of the present school nurse, health and dental system, and replacement with a government-con- trolled system. (9) Gradual increase in school grants by the government. (10) The government administer education in schools in proportion to the grants. (13) The present 50-50 system, whereby the county pays 50 per cent of secondary educational costs and the municipality the other 50 per cent, be abolished as making educa- tion too expensive. Instead, boards of education will pay for their own system. Would Segregate Pupils (11) Segregation of the slower pupils in order that the faster ones may not be held back. It was further suggested that the educational system now in use in Denmark be studied when the changes were made. Principal subject of discussion was the teaching of farming, or lack of it, in the secondary schools to-day. All members of the committee agreed that the youth of to-day was being educated away from the farm, the basic industry, and as a result creat- ing a serious situation.

Addresses by prominent Liberal spokesmen and numerous sports events rounded out the day. Liberals Rally at Creston Park Scarborough Township W. H. Moore, M.P., former Chair- man of the Dominion Tariff Board, in his criticism of the Hon. H. H. Stevens, declared that the special ap- peal to Canadian youth in the plat- form of the Reconstruction Party was identical to the inducement of- fered by Mussolini and Hitler. “They promised jobs to the youth of the country, and by experience we know that all the youth received were black shirts and military train- ing," he said. Flourishing a pamphlet issued by the new reform party, Mr. Moore reâ€" marked: “It loolcs more like a con- fession than a platform of a recon- struction party. Mr. Stevens is de- nouncing practices that he counten- anced during his four years as Minister of Trade and Commerce.” In the opinion of Mr. Moore, the former Minister is not the proper man to reconstruct the finances of Canada, and the only solutiOn to our problems is true Liberalism. Placing the responsibility for theh fulness of Canadian granaries on the high tariff walls of Premier R. B.I Bennett, Goldwin Fleming said peo- ' ple were gradually realizing the in- : ability of Premier Bennett to cope ‘ with the problem. Mr. Fleming fur- ther stated that the Liberal party believes that the present crisis has meen made an excuse for the usurpa- tion of the rights of Parliament and the assumption of autocratic power by the Cabinet. He said Liberalism stands, as always, for the principle of a free Parliament and for the supremacy of Parliament. To this end it would repeal the legislation; enacted by the present administra-. tion, which deprives Parliament of; its control over expenditures and tax-‘ ation and invests the Cabinet with' 1unlimited arbitrary powers, as for! iexample, legislation permitting the gcabinet to enact measurers by order- lin-council for peace, order and good government, and legislation providing the executive withla blank cheque; for expenditures of any kind. I .___A_____.. .. '.‘y The Candidate went on to state that the Liberal Party believes that! under the excuse of the present' crisis the rights of the individual: have been violated. Liberalism stands l for the British principle of free speech and free association and to this end would repeal Section 98 of, the Criminal Code and end the pres-1 ent practice of arbitrary deportation.l At the conclusion of Mr. Fleming’si address he was extended an enthus- iastic ovation by the hrge crowd assembled. George Moore, Reeve of Scarboro Township, was the next speaker.‘ Mnl Moore strongly urged those present to support the Liberal Party and its! policies in the forthcoming Federal campaign. The Reeve further stated that the Liberal party believes un- employment is Canada’s most urgent national problem. It would deal with' the present emergency conditions through a representative nationall commission which would co-operate with the provinces and municipalities in the administration of unemploy-i ment relef and would endeavour to} provide work for the unemployed.3 To emphasize the seriousness of thei present situation he stated that 596,946 persons were on relief in lMay 1932 and these numbers had grown to 1,341,942 persons in Feb- ruary 1935. The last speaker was Harry San- ders, ex-reeve of Scarboro and Lib- eral standard bearer for York East in the last Provincial election. Mr. Sanders stated that the Liberal party believes that trade is the basis of in- dustrial and commercial development and that Canada needs trade. It will promote trade with all nations and negotiate trade agreements with any countries willing to trade with Can- ada on a reciprocal basis. It will abolish, he said, the extravagant in- crease in the tariff made by the present administration which has had the effect of strangling trade, ex- ploiting consumers and robbing rail- ;ways of business. He further said that the party would abolish all un- warranted extra taxes on imports, such as the exchange and dumping duties as imposed by the present ad- 2000 0 ENJOY A PLEASANT DAY AND GIVE GOLDIE FLEMING AN OVATIONâ€"W.
