They should keep a careful check on their yearly taxation potential and then draw their budgets up according- ly.

As much as we might like to have the “extras”, grim necessity often dictates otherwise.

The goal of every public body should be to give the citizens whom they represnt efficient and economical administration. each 12 month period with the general re- quirements of the community on one hand and its most pressing needs on the other.

According to the High Schools Act. they may receive $5 for each of not more than 12 meet- ings attende in any one year”, which is qui e a difierent matter. Some trustees have already attend- ed more than 12 meetings since January 1, 1952, and in addition at their own expense have made sev- firal trips to other points in Ontar- io in the interest of the school. This, I believe is as it should be, since genuine interest in all per- tinent educational problems should be the motivating factor in accept- ing an appointment to such a ‘board. Mr, Wm.

There are eight general con- tractors in the Township of Mark- ham (all taxpayers). but our Coun- cil proposes to bring in a man from Pickering to do the work. Why? Unless the taxpayers do something about this high-handed over-bearing attitude of the coun- cll and their utter disregard for the taxpayers’ money, the taxes will soar beyond all reason. l Re: New Garage Dear Mr. Editor: It has come to the writer's m- tention that the new Markham Township garage that is to .19 built in Buttonviile is to be built on a cost plus basis. Not only is the location absurd but to be built on a cost plus basis is positively ridiculous. Once a cost plus contract is signed no one can control the cost but the builder, and the more he can in- crease the cost. the more profit he makes.

He had never thought that physical education had any place in education â€" no one at that time did â€" now he began to feel that a boy should develop physic- ally as well as mentally and he encouraged them to play games and, as far as he could, he took part. He said: "I watched the boys at play and soon saw that games had a mighty power to awaken and stimulate intelli- gence.” '3: 1‘ Mll“Wlllllllllillmllllllllllllltlhlllllllllllllllllllllllllllll‘ll TODAY’S QUOTATION E Our quotation tiday is; by Olive Schreiner: “The first six years of life rmake us ‘â€" all that is added is mmmmmm a-mmmmmmumuumnmmmmmmmmmmm ‘B into the woods and he lived his boyhood over again as he talked with them of trees, flowers and birds. Every subject he taught was made interesting. If a boy did not seem to be interested, me did not scold the pupil, but in- stantly began to think out .plans to make his teaching more attrac- tive. He was strongly oppOsed to flogging pupils, which at that time was quite common. Speaking of this period of his life he after- wards said: “I felt as happy as the fish in the sea or the birds in the air.’ When the public exam- ination of this school was held the results were so satisfactory that the parents and other teachers were unanimous in saying that Froe'bel’s method _ while new and unusual â€" had certainly produced marvellous results. Frederick Froebel was born at Oberweissbach, a village in Ger- many, on April 21, 1782, and after a somewhat unhappy childhood he took up the profession of teaching at a time when practically nothing was done to make school interest- ing or inviting. He decided to try new methods ‘by inviting children to ask questions and succeeded in maâ€" king them feel at ease. If there is any person, more than another, to be thanked for this improvement, it is Frederick W. Froebel, the anniversary of whose death is observed this year â€" to be exact on June 1. He was the “Father of the Kindergarten} and it probably was of this educa- tional method Mrs. Haldane was thinking. CHILDREN’S BENEFACTOR At the close of the nineteenth century a famous English woman. Elizabeth Haldane, was asked what she considered to be the greatest discovery of that century; she made this astonishing reply: “The discovery of the little child." She went on to say that more hon- est attempts were being made to understand children than ever be- fore. The export sale of Canadian livestock and animal products has declined by $39 million in the first four months of this year, due larg- ely to the United States embargo following the outbreak of foot and mouth disease in Saskatchew- an. So severe a loss in such a short time emphasizes the serious- ness of the disease and there has been general relief felt following the announcement of a high offic- ial this week that the outbreak had been successfully checked.

Export Ban Costly The report shows that the num- ber of loans made under the Act in 1951' was 75,603. an increase of 27 per cent over 1950. The amount of loans made during 1951 was $85,326,227. Loans under the Farm Improve- ment Loan Act are available for‘ a variety of purposes. These in~' clude the purchase of almost any implement and equipment, or the making of improvements and de- velopments that would increase the farmer’s productivity, the quality of his output or the work- ing conditions on his farm. The Farm Improvement Loans Act has now been in operation in Canada for seven years. The anâ€" nual report of the operations of this Act presented here this week showed a splendid record of ser- vice and a very ,small proportion of loss to the government.

For the remainder of his useful life Froebel devoted himself to the establishment of Kindergarten schools. He was often so severely straightened for money that he had to pawn his personal belong- ings to raise money. He once allow- ed the whole of his household furn- iture to be sold by public auction in order to get money to carry on his work with children.

C He became convinced that-the education of children ought to be- gin early and so, in 1829, he op- ened a school for children from three to seven years of age. Lit- tle ones were taught in a. natural and sympathetic way so that school would become more and more in- viting. For a long time he- racked his brain trying to think of a suit- able name for those new schools for little tots. One day, while walk- ing with some friends he kept re- peating: “Oh if I could only think of a suitable name for my young. est born!” Suddenly he stood as if fettered to the spot. "Eureka," he fairly shouted, “I have it! Kinder- garten (child-garden) shall be the name of the institution.” Froebel’s teaching.

Living Costs Down There are at present 18 vacan- cies in the Canadian Senate and while there are plenty of aspir- ants the Prime Minister is not likely to make many appointments until next year. The Senate now has 102 seats, and the present political standing is ’16 Liberals and 8 Conservatives. Federal, provincial and munic- ipal taxes in Canada in 1952 will amount to some $6 billion dollars. which is about one-third of our total national income. As far as the federal government is con- cerned defence expenditures which everybody realizes are necessary for national security, account for more than half of all expenditures. Despite criticism that the govern- ment spends money too freely. ac- tual figures show that apart from defence, the federal government expenditures increased by less than 6 per cent from 1949 to 1951 â€" not a bad record in the face of rising costs.
