TALLON Commumonar CONSUL DRIVE 11‘ 2 RICHMOND HILL‘ In many parts of Ontario, farm- ers have provided better crops for their chickens than schools for their children, Fred Bodsworth writes in an article titled “The Shacks We Call Schools” in the current issue of Maclean’s. ,,,1 Rural Schools Of Ontario Are Said To Be Poorly Equipped 1y obscured the fact that education still goes on in thousands of dilap- idated dungeon-like, ill-furnished and badly lit buildings whicn no progressive farmer would use to shelter 8. milk herd, says Bods- worth. Although there are 1,500 new schools in Canada with glass DIOCk walls. air condiationing‘, acoustic ceilings, terrazo floors and sumrap windows, 10,000 others have -no lights and must close early on dull afternoons because the pupils can- not see the blackboards. Roughly 10,000 Canadian schools, says Bodsworth, have no indoor toilets. ‘ An estimated 5,000 still use only a. pail and dipper for drinking wa- ter, thereby spreading epidemics.‘ There are a thousand or so whose only water supply is a nearby stream. In Ontario there are 31 log cabin schools, in Manitoba 42, and, says Bodsworth, “nobody has counted how many more ii. the rest of Canada.” Bodsworth quotes a reputable“ Canadian school architect as say- ing: “Many schools in towns, as welI as rural areas, are nothing but grim and ugly fortresses, super fire traps with oily floors, poor lighting. Victorian sanitary ‘facilâ€" ities and little play space.” From education authorities ac- ross the "Dominion, Bodsworth brings to the pages of Maclean’s Magazine outspoken commentj on deplorable school conditions,_ One teacher in Eastern Ontario recently complained the average temperatures for November were 52 degrees at 9 a.m._, 54 degrees at noon, and wrote: “I wear woolen underhose and heavy cotton over- hose. My feet are still‘gold.” Bodsworth gives evidence of children w’earing coats_ hats and even mittens in school and reports that “a thousand rural teachers have quit their jobs in Quebec be- cause of poor heating." About four years ago, Winnipeg called in a team of educationists from the University of Chicago to give unbiased comments on city schools. “The report left. more red ears around Winnipeg than any Portage Avenue blizzard,” says Bodsworth. Should Use Grants Bodsworth finds reason to be- lieve that municipalities are not fully availing themselves of prov- incial grants toward education. “Grant systems vary province to province,” he says, “but in most the grants to assist in school con- struction are determined .by the area’s total assessment. The poor- er the area the more assistance it gets.” As an example. Bodsworth cites‘ the tiny community of Benny, 40 miles north west of Sudbury, Ont., whose shaky, runâ€"down frame school. in. 1949, was valued at $345. Benny needed a new school but with a.total assessment, of under $5,000 did not know how to finance it. In ,1950 Benny investigated the provincial grants in new school construction“ Today it has a new school costing $6,000. The prov- ince is paying all but ten percent of the cost. I v; vuv w..." Bnitish Columbia, says Bods~ ivorth, affords the strongest proof that antiquated schools can be e1- iminated just as soon as citizens admit the need. The province now pays 70 per cent of new school costs as against the former 30 per cent. Rebuilding in B.C. is going on so fast the Minister of Educaâ€" tion has time to do little more than run around the pr0vince officiating at opening ceremonies. King Artist Winner Of Art Contest Oscar Cahen, Fogwood Farm, King, is well known for his fine magazine covers, and advertising illustrations. At the third annual exhibition of the Art Directors' Club which was held at Eaton’s Fine Art Galleries for the past two weeks, Mr. Cahen won two with ficate‘ awards for work done dur- in’g the past year. One award was for a cover used by Maclean’s Magazine and the other for a painting used by O’Keefe’s in their “Canadian Achievements” program of advertising. John C. Belknip also of King was represented at the show with the entrants of which he was art director, and one of these an ad- vertisement for shoes also won a certificate award. .The Art Directors’ Club choose only the best of advertising and editorial art from all of Canada and there were 182 entries in the show. Mr. Cahen was invited to show nine of 'his pictures. ' The Thornhill Home and School Association will hold its last meet- ing for this year on May 3. Therew will be a very interesting program that evening when Mrs. A. P. Mc- Lelland' President of York County Home & School Council will speak on “Parents are Educators”.

Evi- dently the boys are growing bolder, feeling there is no “anâ€" get of being molested in their mock serenades of disco‘rdant music with horns and tin pans. Many in the village are apt to feel that this ancient custom is harmless but, when boys ten or twelve years of age call names and make fun of the groom for not handing out as much money as they think they deserve for their entertainment, then we think it time council stopped such performances.
