A NEW NOTE IN EDUCATION The new program of study which will be intro. duced in many High Schools throughout Ontario in Sep- tember strikes a new and progressive note in education. The new program may present difficulties to the Rich- mond Hill High School Board and other Boards similarly situated and these difficulties may be so great that full advantage of the change cannot be taken only gradually over a period of years but the fact remains that the pro- posed change is refreshing and hope inspiring for those who have long recognized that some such change was very necessary. It is apparent that a new school, very different from the old traditional one is now rising in its place. It may . . ..1 LL- "Awnnwlv novfaini‘v is com- take a few years but with the utmost certainty it is com- ing. The new educational outlook for which this new school is designed emphasizes three thingsâ€"first that the individual child is one organic whole, secondly that the teacher is no longer merely a person appointed to teach rules and instruct children but a superv1sor concerned to assist and help the natural growth of his or her pupils, LLEuAI" “Mir nnvirnnment is a most Important factor in school is designed empnaSIZes u individual child is one organic teacher is no longer merely a rules and instruct children but rules anu luau uvu “mm”. w”, , A as31st and help the natural growth of hls thirdly that environment is a most imp01 education. - 1- 1|! . g . . n ‘l mwn;1fl1.HI vu_-..-_ _ The establishment of Manual Training is LU menu» the development of industrial intelligence, an appreciation of industrial life, and to promote the discovery of special interests in individual students. These aims will involve opportunities for experiences in a variety or activities; wood-working, sheetâ€"metal, electricity, motor mechanics, etc. It is felt that the discovery of interest will be of in- estimable value in deciding a life vocation. In regard to Home Economics, the attitude has been that the girl is entitled to as many of the advantages as offered in the city schools. In schools where the Course has been introduced, the interest is genuine and wonder- ful progress has been made. For the sake of those who are attenalng our High Schools we hope administrative school bodies throughout Ontario will be able to avail themselves of the improve- ments within as short a time as possible. These are changes in our secondary educational system which have been needed for many years and which is widely endorsed by the best educationalists of our day. Give me the good old days! How many times have you heard that expression? Perhaps you shared the wish. Perhaps you were not a little disappointed that you were born too late to live in them. Advertising Rates But why? Just what was so good about them? Were there more jobs, for instance? Greater opporâ€" tunities? Better living conditions? Less worry about the future? Assuredly, such considerations must be used to measure the worthier pattern of the times. There were more jobs in the good old daysâ€"of a sort. Thousands of them at the business end of a shovel, where a dollar a day for twelve hours was good fishing. The average wage rate of the gainfully employed has increased 71 per cent in the last twenty years. What is more important, the buying power of this income has jump- -a m “m. mm+ rlnmno‘ Hm same period. In other words, The average wage rate of the gainfully employee has increased 71 per cent in the last twenty years. What is more important, the buying power of this income has jump- ed 40 per cent during the same period. In other words, there is more money to be had for less work and more goods for less money. In “the good old days” the employer’s responsibility ended when he met the pay roll. Safety devices were conâ€" ..mmmri .mmmqgarv so long as a worker “looked sharp.” In “the good old days” the employer’s responsmnuy ended when he met the pay roll. Safety devices were conâ€" sidered unnecessary so long as a worker “looked sharp.” Accident, sickness, and death benefits, if any, were adminâ€" istered as bitter pills of outright company charity. Reâ€" creational activities of employees were frankly suspect. “If a man turned in an honest day’s work, he’d have all the exercise he needed.” Today hundreds of large industries of the dangerous type can boast in terms of millions of hours without a single lostâ€"time accident, due largely to the scientific ap- plication of safety devices. Those who do suffer injuries receive fair compensation. It is disbursed by the provin- cial governments, but the employer foots the bill. Mean- while, healthful, organized recreation is not only making Jack a bright boy but also a better employee in every way. Machines have stolen 'old-time jobs, but they have created many moreâ€"softer ones. We are using eighteen times as much machinery as We were fifty years ago. In spite of this, there are now 3.3 times as many jobs for only 2.8 times as many people. In other words, employment created by new indus- tries has more than replaced work stolen by labour-saving equipment. There are more people today helping to keep Canadians supplied with automobiles than there were peoâ€" ple in the good old days who actually owned a horse and buggy. And not a word has been mentioned yet about the jobs required to build thousands of miles of‘ good roads, or regulate traffic, or produce what it takes to run an automobile. . Broadly speaking, people are better educated than they were a few decades ago. They are better housed and better fed. , Their appreciation of what the world had to offer de- manded a higher standard of living, and they got it. Increased earning power translated their desires into belongings. The result is that today the average man and his family enjoy many comforts of good living which surpass the fondest luxurious dreams of long agoâ€"Canadian Busi- ness. The large increase in registrations, the greater mile- age per vehicle, the more buoyant spirits engendered by good and improving times and the indicated record motor tourist traffic are among the factors that are markedly stepping up traffic hazards. More than ever before, mot- orists should exercise alertness, prudence and courtesy in driving. Unless they generally do so the traffic toll of life, limb and property inevitably will be greater. No motorist should ever be unmindful or careless of what is perhaps the most important provision of the Highway Traffic Act, certainly more important than the arbitrary speed limits oneâ€"that which requires the speed to be reasonable and proper with regard to all circumstances. This is a personal individual responsibility.â€"-The Canadian Motorist. FACTORS INCREASING TRAFFIC HAZARDS PAGE TWO Established 1878 AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY J.

Immediately after the \ceremony the happy young couple left on a motor trip to Northern On- tario. We extend to them heartiest congratulations and best wishes for a long and happy wedded life. The reputation for generosity enâ€" joyed by many of North York’s wealthier citizens was enhanced this ‘week when a new motor car was presented for the use of Miss L. NEWTONBROOK Curtis, the Victorian Order nurse. The presentation was made by Dep-i uty_Reeve St. Clair Hurlburt in the albsence of Reeve R. E. Bales on be- half of the donors on Tuesday evenâ€" ing at the Township Hall and was accepted by the President of the newly formed local Branch of the Order. The car was purchased by five citizens of the Bayview district who wish to remain anonymous. High tribute was paid to the spirit which prompted the generous gift by the Deputy-Reeve and other speakers. Miss Curtis has now commenced her duties, definitely establishing the Victorian Order in North York. The new concrete sidewalks from Finch’s Ave. to' Steele’s Ave. are very much appreciated by the IoeaI citizens. Mr. George Brook, 17 year ‘old As- sistant Scoutm‘aster of All Saints Troop, plunged fully cioth‘ed into the O‘tonabe‘e River at Fraserville Wed~ nesday evening of last week and rescued Eva Coomlbe 15, who was in great danger of drowning. George is a former Newtonlbrook bOy but the family moved to Petenborough last November and since then George has been employed in the Dominion Store at Peterborough. “Be Prepared” is a scout motto and Brook, holder of 9. Scout Pro- ficiency Badge for swimming, went to the rescue without hesitation. We join with the Boy Scouts of this com- mun-ity in conveying to George our sincere congratulations in his heroic effort in saving the life of Miss Coombe. Hon. G. Howard Ferguson has been elected president of the Crown Life Insurance Co. succeeding the late Rt. Hon. Sir. Robert L. Borden. Trusting our leaders is a good idea, but can’t they trust us enough to tell just where they are taking us. If all of us were feminine women or masculine men, there would be few unhappy marriages.

The Canadian National Exhibition, originally chartered “for the encour- agement of agriculture, industry and the arts”, has never forgotten the purpose for which it was organized. It has grown and expanded in many respects but the basic plan has been carefully adhered to. When the old-time fiddlers and square dancers were introduced at the Canadian National Exhibition it was done as a novelty and. intend- ed as a temporary attraction. The innovation was an instantaneous hit and will be continued this year.
