Ontario has approximately 6,- 600 administrative units operating schools, and the other Canadian pro- vinces a like proportion. In compari- sonâ€"England and Wales, with a popu- lation twelve times as great as that of Ontario, have only 317 school authorities or Boards. Scotland has but 35. The Department of Education is working on a revision of the curricula of our schools which will bring them more into line with modern trends of thought. In this revision the Departâ€" ment has available the detailed sug- gestions made, after many months of voluntary labour, by a committee of teachers and others. Dr. McArthur and his investigating commission of last summer followed the same policy of receiving briefs from interested groupsâ€"in that particular case, groups interested in financial and‘ ad- ministrative reforms. Probably the most detailed and helpful brief sub- mitted to the commission Was a 35~ printed-page pamphlet outlining the systems of financing and administer- ing education in English-speaking countries and in all the provinces of Canada, with concrete proposals for reforms in Ontario based on the best in other countries ard adapted to our special conditions. Few are aware that this brief was» the work of a committee of teachers from the On- tario Secondary School Teachers" Federation working voluntarilv and at their own expense. Since the govern- ment commission is chiefly concerned with the problem of equalizing the burden of educational costs through- out the province, it is safe to assume that changes in Ontario will follow the practice in those countries which have adopted an equalization pro- gramme. How many readers are aware of even a. few of the facts which educa- tional bodies in Ontario are wrestling with toâ€"day? Here are some of the most significant. 2. In no other English-speaking country, except Canada and the Unit- er States, is the educational unit smaller than the country or large city. 3. All English-speaking- countries, except Canada and the United States, Education Week (Febmary 23rd to 291’hl. sponsored by the Canadian Teachers’ Federation and featured this year by a proqramme of radio addresses on a national hook-up by such outstanding sneakers as H-er Excellency. Lady Tweedsmuir and Hon. Norman Rogers. Minister of Labour. will have served a verv use- ful purpose if it has done something to make each and all of us more “education conscious” It is natural' that neonle should differ concerning individual ifems in anv reform pro- gramme, but_ there cannot be two minds about the desirability of mov- inc: fonvard. since to stand still is to rcccde. The one point on which most peonle like to be certain. of course, is Whether or not a particular reform constitutes a move forward. Un- fortunately, there can be no certainty about any future event in this im- perfect world, but surely we can put some reliance on the experience of other countries and on the advice of those Whose ability and training en- title them to the term, educational experts. If we conclude, then, that educational reforms in Ontario will utilize the experience of other coun- tries whose problems are similar and will follow along lines suggested by the current investigations of “experts” we can look forward to changes in at least two directionsâ€"H 1) a curriculum in the secondary schools better adapt- ed to individual capacities and needs; (2) a. system of administration and finance which will attempt to equal- ize educational advantages and op- portunities for every boy and girl in the province. ' A great deal of work has already been done in Ontario by way of prep- aration and investigation, but so seldom is education “front page news” that many newspaper readers will be unaware of progress to date. Thinking people, in this day and age, do not need to be reminded of the importance of education in our national life, but it is not so certain that we have given sufficient thought to the possibility that our educationâ€" al institutions may not be adapting themselves rapidly enough to chang- ing‘ conditions. Since change, in a changing world, is inevitable. and since reforms, in a democratically organized countrv, can come only as a result of public demand and ma- jority approval, we have only our- selves to blame if education in On- tario should ever fall behind in the march of progress. There is no such danger. however. if evervonle who has any interest in the education of our youth (and that should mean every intelligent citizen) makes it his or her business. firstâ€"to learn what re- forms are most urgent, and secondâ€"- to work for or to sunport any meas- ures which will make these reforms possible. Education on the March LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO 5. It is instructive to compare the above figures with those for other states in the Emnire. In England and Wales over 50% of school costs is borne by the national treasury, with special aid to needy areas: in Scot- land the state share is 57%: North- ern Ireland about 82%: Irish Free State, around 80%; South Africa, about 75% by the Union, 25% by provinces, and no local taxation; New ‘Zealand and Australia have central- ized administration with 100% sup- Iport from the national or provincial , treasury. 7. There is absolutelv no equality in salary scales in Ontario. Some school units pay $500 00 a year for the same grade of teacher as that for which another board may pay $900.00 ,or even $1200.00. Salaries of secon- dary school teachers vary anywhere. from less than $1000.00 to over $2000.00 for teacher; with more than gone year’s successful experience. What Lis the inevitable resultâ€"on the pupils fwhosle lot it is to live in a poor dis- :trict; and on the teachers in. these {districts from Whom is expected the same quality of work as teachers with twice the salary are giving? 9. From all the above farts one r‘onclusir‘n at least seems inevitableâ€" that in those countries Where educat- ional advantages have been equalized there has already taken place a con- solidation of administration with greater central control and with no unit smaller than a county board. 10. Consolidation is being dismissed in everv province in Canada. Alberta seems likely to lead the way, as the government has already circulated a proposal which is to be discussed at the next seseion of the legislature. “.1 .

All the aboveâ€"mentioned parts of the Empire have national salary scales for teachers so that the best teachers will not be confined to the wealthier districts. Since stood teach- ers have more effect on the quality of schooling provided than any other single factor or combination of factors in the educational system: it is surely of great importance that the general puhlic should know where Onâ€" tario stands in this matter. monev as we do on matriculation scholarships.

If it is true that our boys and girls from poorer municipalities and school units are entitled to the same quality of instruction as others enjoy, it is also true that they are entitled to the same opportunities for higher education. As things are in Ontario to-day, only the children of the well- to-do, plus a mere handful who win the few available scholarships, go on- to a university. Not one provincial government, nor the national govern- ment, has made any attempt to fol- low the example of the other self- governing dominions in the Empire to ensure that students of marked ability are able to develop their talents after leaving school.
