and school boards.Among the matters of special interest, the report of the Pension Commission and the changes in the Regulations embodied in the November minutes of the Protestant Committee and Dr.Percival\u2019s statement call for attention.Shortly after the close of the Session of the Legislature, secretary-treasurers will receive printed copies of changes in the Education Act since the issue of the 1931 edition.As usual, these changes will be printed on one side of the paper only, so that they may be readily inserted at the proper pages of the book.SUMMER SCHOOL AT MACDONALD COLLEGE July 3 to 28 inclusive We have received from Mr.Howard Angus Kennedy of Montreal, a circular in regard to a proposed visit of Canadian Historians to Great Britain, similar to the visit of Canadian Authors last summer.The project was warmly endorsed by historical scholars in England and Scotland, who have formed a committee of welcome.This overseas committee represents the highest authorities in the subject, as well as the universities of Oxford, Bristol and Edinburgh.Students visiting Great Britain this year would have a fine opportunity by joining the group which will leave Quebec on Thursday, June 21, on the \u201cEmpress of Australia\u2019 and return by the \u2018Duchess of Athol\u201d on July 21.Visits will be made under high guidance to many historic sites.All enquiries should be addressed to Mr.H.A.Kennedy, P.O.Box 1424, Montreal.The fourth annual summer school for teachers under the auspices of the Department of Education will be held at Macdonald College from Monday, July 3 to Saturday, July 28, inclusive.This summer school is intended for teachers holding Flementary and Intermediate diplomas valid in the Province of Quebec.The courses offered will be similar to those given last year.; À circular containing full information can be procured upon application to Dean Sinclair Laird, School for Teachers, Macdonald College, Quebec.Applications should not be sent before May 1st.On and after that date they will be considered in the order in which they are received.A preliminary deposit of $10 must accompany the application, which must be made not later than June 20th.March 5, 1934.W.P.PERCIVAL, Director of Protestant Education. 8 EDUCATIONAL RECORD CHANGES IN THE REGULATIONS AND RULES OF THE PROTESTANT COMMITTEE I wish to draw your attention to certain alterations in the Regulations and Rules of the Protestant Committee which have recently been made: (a) Regarding High School Leaving Examinations.The High School Leaving Examination may now be completed in parts.Previously, in order to obtain High School Leaving Certificates, it was necessary for candidates to write Supplementals in not more than two subjects.All requirements for the Certificate must be completed within a period of 16 months.Special Supplementary Examinations will be held in the month of September beginning in September next.They will be held only in Montreal and such other centres as are approved by the Director of Protestant Education.By this means students who wish to enter the Universities will be given a further opportunity to endeavour to qualify by means of the High School Leaving Certificate.These examinations are intended only for writers of Supplementary Examinations and are confined to those who have earned the privilege of writing.Supplementary Examinations in 1934 will be in English Literature, English Composition, Written French, Latin (two papers), History, Elementary Algebra, Elementary Geometry, Intermediate Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.For each Supplementary Examination paper a fee of $2.00 will be charged with a maximum fee of $10.00 for all papers written at one regular examination period.This will apply to all Supplementary Examinations that will be held after June 1934 no matter when they are written.The fees are payable by the candidates to the Inspector of High Schools.They should, however, be collected and forwarded by the Principal, except in the case of the September examinations when the candidates must apply direct.This will commence in September 1934.No fees will be charged to candidates in June next.In order to make this matter clear it should be understood that candidates, who write the examinations of Grade XI in any year, no matter how many or how few papers they may take, have the opportunity to write one free examination.All subsequent writings will be in the nature of Supplementals for which they must pay.(b)\u2014Regarding Admission to the School for Teachers.1.The course leading to the Elementary diploma has been extended to a full year.This change will be effective in September next.Bursaries will in future be paid to students who attend the Elementary class and who sign a statement that they will teach for three years in a rural Elementary school.Bursaries will also be paid to teachers who have not signed an agreement to teach in a rural Elementary school but who actually do so.The amount of the bursaries is now one hundred dollars.Mileage rebates will be paid only to students whose homes are more than 200 miles distant from Ste.Anne de Bellevue.2.Commencing in September 1935 students who wish to enter the Intermediate class of the School for Teachers must show that they have gained either a High School Leaving or a Matriculation Certificate with a pass mark in ten required subjects of the general or academic course.This means that a minimum of ten papers will be necessary instead of eight as at present.In the academic CORRE ARID PARIS CHANGE IN REGULATIONS OF PROTESTANT COMMITTEE 9 course the requirements for admission will be the same as those demanded at present.In the general course it will be necessary for the applicants to have passed in English (two papers), French (two papers), a Science subject and five other papers from the optional list.3.In order to make promotions more flexible, Regulation 93 has been repealed.According to this Regulation all pupils in attendance at any intermediate or high school must take the June examinations.Promotions are now very definitely in the hands of the Principals.Before making promotions it is the duty of the Principal to see that each pupil has done thoroughly the work prescribed for his grade.(¢c)\u2014June Examination Papers.In the past, high schools have been obliged to send to Quebec the June Examination papers of Grade IX for checking purposes.In future it will not be necessary for high schools in which seven teachers or more are employed to send to the Department the Examination papers of Grade IX.Certain other approved schools will also be excused from this obligation.They will be advised in due course by the Inspector of High Schools.(d)\u2014Courses of Study.The permissive course of study may used again next session and until this course is cancelled by the Protestant Committee.Application to the Director of Protestant Education for permission to use the permissive course must be renewed, however.In this connection it is well to state some advantages of the new course in English which was adopted as the regular course commencing last September.The chief purposes of the new course are to enable pupils to appreciate the best thoughts and style of some of the outstanding writers and to develop a taste for reading which will enrich and broaden their lives.The habit of reading silently and quickly should be developed.These objectives are conceived to be more important for the young than the critical study of a few texts.Pupils should moreover be acquainted with the works of the best modern authors such as Kipling and Conrad.To effect these aims it is necessary that a far greater amount of reading be done than has been the case in the past.In the new course of study 46 books can be obtained at a slightly lower cost that the 27 on the former list.Many of these are much superior in type, binding and attractiveness to those on the old course.When new books are required, as they must be in some grades, it would appear to be wise to enquire fully into the new series.W.P.PERCIVAL, Director of Protestant Education. 10 EDUCATIONAL RECORD QUEBEC PHYSICAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION ROYAL VICTORIA COLLEGE THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1933.\u20148.15 P.M.\u2018\u201c\u2018How should Physical Education fit in with the School Curriculum ?\u2019\u2019 \u2014Dr.W.P.Percival, Director of Protestant Education.Fhysical education is probably more necessary today than at any other time in the history of man.With a population that is now largely urban and industrialized, and where a larger percentage follows sedentary occupations than in any other age, I cannot see how we can escape the consideration of a programme of physical education in school.Fhysical education, rightly conceived, is both preventive and corrective.Fach child needs instruction in healthy and symmetrical physical development.Much of this he can receive through the medium of group instruction, but some individual work 1s needed.All children must be taught how to breathe properly, and how to assume correct posture.To stand, sit and walk correctly is important.Instruction in these must be given to all children.Some children need more directions in these matters in school than do others.To teach some children habits of correct posture is a long, tedious process.The wrong habits have been so relatively long established that eradication is very difficult.Good posture, it is well known, depends upon: 1.Knowledge of what is good in this respect.A good teacher must know good posture, be able to explain and demonstrate it.He must also have a series of good correctives which he must be able to demonstrate.2.A pliable frame where the muscles are not set beyond the possibility of modification.3.A satisfactory rapport between teacher and pupils where the latter will be willing to execute the expressed wishes of the former.4.Sufficient drill in correct muscular habits to eradicate the imperfect and substitute the correct ones.Since the dawn of civilization the ancient Greeks have been the only people who have fully realized the importance of physical education and made adequate provision for it.Greeks trained for centuries for the Olympic games which were open to all males.The decadence of the Greek people resulted in the cessation of general training and the rise of the professional athlete.The church dominated education in the middle ages.Their ideal was more or less ascetic.They therefore made no provision for physical training.It was not until the modern period that the attitude changed towards this subject.Martin Luther, Montaigne, Comenius and John Locke looked upon RR RR RIL PHYSICAL EDUCATION 11 it with favour.It was not until the beginning of the present century that suitable training made its advent in Western schools.It is regrettable that one has to state that into many classrooms it has not yet been introduced.The idea has made far greater progress in Furope than it has here, but for different reasons.In Germany, for instance, it was introduced in 1842 to fit the youth to fight France.In Sweden the gymnastie system has made remarkable progress for its own sake.Though it has marked defects, to which I shall refer later, the Swedish system is based on sound principles, namely, on a study of the physiology of the human body.The system of physical education in vogue on this continent.is a blend.We have a three-fold programme, namely, hygiene, physical exercises in the shape of formal drills, and thirdly, plays and games.In the teaching of hygiene, teachers and pupils can be held responsible for only those features over which they have control.They can do little about the location and construction of school buildings and pupils\u2019 homes, though teachers may be expected to have lighting conditions in the classroom as satisfactory as possible.Pupils whose parents are unemployed cannot be expected to receive as good dental treatment as those who live on Pine Avenue, but they can be shown the advantages of care of the teeth, and can be expected to clean them.Teachers cannot control the placing of windows in the school room, but they can be expected to ventilate the classrooms frequently.The teacher cannot be expected to furnish medical inspection, school nurse, or dental clinics, but when these services are provided she can be expected to cooperate loyally with the appointed officials.In certain cases she can work hard to obtain the necessary services.The pupils should be able to be depended upon to carry out the instructions given for his benefit.A teacher should make a health survey of her pupils at least once a year.She can learn the health habits and health environment of each individual.By this means she will be in a position to attempt to remedy a large percent of their present ills or those of the immediate future.During the hygiene lessons the deficiencies of the class can be emphasized.Daily health inspection is necessary in all classes.To stand by as pupils enter the classroom in the mornings to see if they are walking in a straight line is one of my stock examples of misdirected energy.It is far more important to scrutinize each one to see if he has some remediable physical defect, to see if their eyes are bright (thus reflecting sound physical condition and good health habits), to watch the manner of breathing of the children, see if they walk straight and correctly, and if they have colds or other symptoms of ill health.I used to tell my students each one to be a \u2018health cop\u2019\u2019 during the periods of assembling.I regard health inspection as an important part of a teacher\u2019s daily work.The difficulty is that the uninitiated cannot do this work well.Even detection requires the trained eye.Remedial advice needs the expert.A sound knowledge of physiology as a basis is important, acquaintance with the child\u2019s physical development at the successive ages is useful.The teacher who can join to this a recognition of the mental habits of children is in a good position to teach vital lessons of hygiene and physical well being.Information regarding foods, the kind of things to eat as well as the manner of eating should be explained.The same remark applies to posture, sleep, cloth- FE RCE OU 12 EDUCATIONAL RECORD ing and ventilation.The building up of correct habits in these respects is essential.I need not dilate upon these topics, however, as they are very well covered in the health books which are authorized for the elementary schools of the Province of Quebec.Children cannot be expected to take advantage of every health rule given.The teachers of all grades should be aware of the content of all the books, so that they will be able to use the information contained therein.The names of the books are: Wide Awake School, by Andress; Success and Health, by Andress and Evans; Healthy Citizenship, by Andress and Evans.Formal gymnastics have their place in the physical training programme.However, only pupils who are fit should be required to take part in physical exercises, especially those of the more violent types.This is an important reason for taking the history of each pupil.The teacher should assume no responsibility for compelling the unfit to avail themselves of the privileges and should protect the pupil even from himself.On page 63 of the current Memoranda of Instructions to Teachers in the Protestant schools of Quebec you will read that \u201cPhysical exercises should be carried out with zest, precision and enthusiasm\u2019.Although these directions might be given for almost any subject, they have special meaning in reference to physical drill.The enthusiasm of the teacher will readily reflect itself upon the class.He who keenly enjoys physical education cannot fail to stimulate children to do the same.The teacher of this subject has splendid material to work upon.In its best forms it is peculiarly attractive.There is motion, competition, emulation, desirable activity and a certain amount of freedom that is missing from the subjects that must be learned at one\u2019s seat.Exercises executed in a precise manner have their appeal both for performers and audience.A child sees another do the motion and feels that he has the ability to do the same.In our programmes of studies fifteen minutes per day are to be devoted to physical culture in rural schools.It is very unfortunate that most of this time Is occupied with setting up exercises.These have their benefits, but they are far from satisfying either the physical needs or the aspirations of children.Occasionally we find that the older forms of drill still survive.They have some advantages, but lengthy, tiring drills with dumb-bells,bar bells and Indian clubs have had their day.If these are retained,, to them is added the free movements introduced from the Swedish systems and individual training on floor apparatus.The Swedish system that was in vogue for some time has lost some of its popularity because of glaring defects such as the tendency to staleness, lack of interest and lack of variety, as well as its dangers for people with constitutional weaknesses.The instruments attached to the walls of the older gymnasiums have not been found to be as efficacious as the freer plays.In city schools and in high schools in which there are gymnasiums the physical training programme is more elaborate.Organized play, folk dances and display drills can be featured in many cases.In the Strathcona Trust Book we read \u201cThe object of physical training is to help in the production and maintenance of health in body and mind\u201d.Physical education holds this great possibility for the double development.The discipline that comes from swift obedience to commands is extremely helpful.In school and in life there is need for uniform compliance with instructions.RR AR NR AI \u2014\u2014\u2014 2e PHYSICAL EDUCATION 13 The teacher of two or three pupils scarcely needs to bother about this kind of obedience for his own purposes.To the teacher of thirty-five pupils it is frequently essential.Physical instructors must be builders of characters and not mere teachers of activities.The teachers of this subject must themselves be persons of culture and refinement.I say this because there is an idea in the minds of some that this is merely a physical, a sinews and muscles subject, and that, if it does not destroy, at least it does not require mental acumen.Let the specialists in the art eradicate the criticism by their excellence.This is an admirable objective for students in the new three year course at McGill University and for the first year class of young men.Physical education is both a means and an end.As an end it leads towards bodily culture.As a means it leads to the upbuilding of character.Nowhere are these characteristics brought out so finely as in the third division of this subject, namely, that which deals with plays and games.Faith in play as a means of furthering physical education is based on such consideration as: 1.The enjoyment of the game.This increases the interest in the training.2.Mental relaxation.This is obtained from the enthusiasm engendered.3.The benefits of fresh air are obtained by games, many of which can be played out of doors.4.All the muscles of the body are used in games in natural manners, and special ones are not over exercised.Games furnish opportunities for physical development which formal gymnastics cannot hope to accomplish.I am convinced that many children learn more of true living on the playground than they do on the school benches.When playing games, pupils learn the benefits to be derived from cooperation.All must work together for the common good.If one link snaps the whole chain breaks.On the weakest spot the strength of the attack is concentrated.One must shield another.All must prepare to defend or to attack and to do it at the same second.The ground must be prepared for the defence or the attack of one member.Self sacrifice is learned in games.A count is made for a team by a deft pass.One sacrifices a possible shot for goal himself to make more certain of the tally for his side.One sacrifices the possibility of a home run that he may be sure to score the man on the third base.Self reliance is developed by games.\u201cTen to score and the last man in\u201d at a cricket match has become a classic (Vitai Lampada).The last man is depended upon to hold up his end while the other scores.The back is trusted to bring down his man to save a touchdown.Closer and more lasting friendships are made on the playground than in the classroom, I believe.Team-mates have much in common.They have fought many a battle together.They have travelled together.They have planned how to defeat this or that team.They have consoled one another in defeat.One boy did a big thing today, and his friend did a big thing last week.MO ES TE EN WN CTR 14 EDUCATIONAL RECORD Prudence and caution are learned through the medium of games.The side cannot take too many chances.They must always leave a defence, even at the risk of a less powerful offensive.The clever player who has less stamina or physical force than the others must be shielded so that he will suffer no injuries.Games teach boys to be manly, noble, strong and virtuous.In the organization of games as an integral part of the work of the secondary school and the university there is danger that many of their advantages may be lost.Many evils have clustered around interscholastic contests of which the public are not insensible.I shall refer only to two; (1)\u2014The exploiting of players: Certain young men have great ability at tennis, football, hockey, etc.They are towers of strength to their sides.They are easily flattered.They become lionized at too young an age.They are encouraged to make sport their major aim.This is the line of least resistance, and many succumb.They are induced to spend their time to little future advantage.Graduates of their schools invite them to one function after another in a misguided spirit of loyalty to the school.This must be guarded against.The players must not be exploited.Our best men are recognizing this, and we should give them support.(2)\u2014The tendency to encourage contestants to regard victory as the desideratum and to win at any price.In competitive games as many as win must lose.We must certainly encourage pupils to endeavour to win.Determination, pluck, grit, skill, perseverance, speed, accuracy, strength, judgment, team work, are all necessary to win a game.The plaudits of the crowd go to the winners.Winning has its thrills.It is equally necessary to learn the virtues that accrue to the losers.Losing is less pleasant than winning.But on the ruins of their losses wise men build the pillars that lead to success.The keeping of one\u2019s temper, the forgiving of an injury, cultivating a smile when another wins by exhibiting greater skill, the determination to do better, must be learned by him who would gain success in the game of life.The desire to win at any price has resulted in some undesirable customs.Sport will never attain a regal position until all detestable and objectionable practices are eradicated.Here at McGill is a great school of physical education.I make bold to say that the influence of McGill through this school can be felt so powerfully throughout this Dominion that if you will you can purify the sport of the country.This continent is devoted to amateur school and college athletics.1 believe it wishes to continue this allegiance.But the best thinkers want the activities to be pure.The skilful, the strong, the valorous, the good sport is needed.Honour will always be given to him.The sneak, the mean, the dirty player that is out to maim, the poor sport is not wanted.Let us be done with him.Let the penalties against him be made so strong that that type of person will be incapable of remaining in the game.Two minutes for a serious, deliberate foul is no punish- PHYSICAL EDUCATION 15 ment befitting the offence.Make the rule be banishment from the game, at least for the remainder of that day.Such a rule would have a far reaching and worthwhile effect.In some countries the pugilist on the field and the ice and the despicable would be expelled from the game for life.Why not here ?How Did You Play?\u201cHow did you play when the play was on, When the odds were great and hope was gone ?When the enemy team, with aim so true Was dragging the victory away from you?When strength and speed and endurance quit, Did honour keep pace with determined grit ?Did you keep the faith with the rules of the game?Did you play up square without fear or shame ?Did your smile of cheer make the team your friend As you fought it through to the bitter end ?Did your self-respect rise a notch or two?Are you a bigger man now the game is through?\u201d VO OO NT Tr 16 EDUCATIONAL RECORD

PATRIOTISM By Professor W.O.Rothney The development of patriotism is recognized by all as a legitimate function of the school.In fact the schools all over the land recognize this function as a duty incumbent upon them.It might be well, however, in these days, when our objectives, methods, and inherited institutions are being so rigidly subjected to critical examination, to scrutinize somewhat carefully the principles and possibilities that underlie our teaching of patriotism.We have been taking it for granted that there are certain feelings, or attitudes, towards our country that should be engendered, and that there are certain types of response to the laws and dictates of constituted authority that should be reduced to habit.We have been trying to habituate our pupils to ways of feeling and thinking and acting towards their country so that, when they leave our hands, they will be, for ever after, animated by a spirit of admiration and devotion to \u201cthis Canada of ours\u2019, and will automatically play the part of a loyal citizen, ready to obey her laws and answer her call.We have tended to avoid, or very sparingly deal with, the mistakes, and shortcomings of our country lest we impair the feeling of admiration that we should seek to engender.Our policy seems to have been to develop an automatic patriotism that could be counted upon to react, at all times, in accordance with a conventional type of patriotic behaviour.To this end teachers have dwelt upon the beauty and wealth of our land; they have been diligent in their efforts to impress pupils with the greatness of our country, the courage of its pioneers, and the nobility of its founders and builders; they have eulogized its heroes, elaborated upon the justice of its laws, the greatness of its enterprises, and the privileges of its citizenship.Our teachers have been assiduous, too, in making pupils salute the flag, sing \u201cGod Save the King,\u201d do honour to those who have answered the call of \u201cKing and Country\u201d, and perform many other acts calculated to develop a spirit of loyalty and devotion to their native land.They have sought diligently to make patriotic behaviour automatic, and they have been successful in no small degree.The question that arises, however, is whether this is the type of patriotism that our country needs; whether this is the type of patriotism that will best safeguard the interests of our country\u2019s citizens.It is quite possible to accomplish the habituation for which we have been striving without giving our pupils an adequate idea of what partiotism means, or of what is meant by \u201cour country\u201d.Will you ask your high school pupils what they mean by \u201ctheir country\u201d, and what they mean by \u201ctheir country\u2019s call\u201d, and see what reply you get?Hold them down to clear thinking.Make them write out their answer.Too often when this is done, we find that pupils look upon their country as some abstract sovereignty, supposedly idealistic, some indefinite something, with indefinite authority, that speaks from the capital of the country, which they are sup- tee tie a AE NON, TEACHING PATRIOTISM 23 posed to love, and obey, and defend.They do not recognize in their fellow pupils, and in the people they meet on the street, their country.They do not realize that love of country means love of Jack, and Alphonse, and Mike, and Hans, and Piedro, and the pupil across the aisle, and the Garbage Man\u2019s son, and the Mayor\u2019s son, and the bright boy, and the dull boy.They do not realize that their country is something that they can say \u201cGood morning\u2019\u2019 to, and shake hands with, something that enjoys and suffers, and has a sense of right and wrong just as they have.We have not developed devotion to country until we have developed devotion to maintaining and promoting the welfare of everyone in the country.Anything short of this is not patriotism.Some of our training has come too close to the theory that the people exist for the state, not the state for the people.Our pupils must learn that citizens have no duties to the state, but that, as a state, they have duties to themselves and their fellow men.Teaching is not for the purpose of adjusting people to the state, but for the purpose of adjusting the state to the people.Moreover, when we have developed a citizen who automatically responds to whatever seems to be his country\u2019s call, we have endangered rather than safeguarded society.The automatic patriot is a positive menace to his country.He jumps at conclusions, waves the flag, cheers for his country, right or wrong, and thinks he is wonderfully patriotic when he is merely excited, merely acting in accordance with fixed mental and emotional habits.He is the citizen that can easily be led around by the nose and made the tool of any party or interest that, for the time being, may pose as the voice of the country.It is not the automatic citizen that is patriotic, but the enquiring and discriminating citizens.Our pupils must be taught that merely to repeat or to follow is unpatriotic.We are ready enough to condemn that sort of patriotism when we see it in Germany, and we wish that we might pull the mote out of the German\u2019s eye that he might see more clearly.It may be, however, that there is a mote, and possiblv a beam, in our own eye that is obscuring our own vision in this matter of training in patriotism.I wonder if we realize fully that it is not unquestioned support that constitutes loyalty, but critical analysis, acquisition of facts, acquaintance with issues, weighing of evidence, and reasoned convictions that enables a citizen to make his loyalty effective.The citizen who has not been trained to take this attitude towards his country\u2019s government and his country\u2019s officials is almost sure, sometime, to mistake the agitated voice that calls for his support, for the voice of his country, when it is merely the voice of a special interest.If.however, he has learned to ask whether the proposed change, conduct, policy, or law, that he is asked to support, is for the purpose of making our civilization more just and more of a fellowship, whether, and in what sense, it is the voice of the men.women and children who are his fellow citizens, he is not so likely to allow his good intentions to be exploited by any special class or interest.Further, when we have created in our pupils a fixed mode of patriotic reaction, we have not developed the patriotism that will seek further improvement.Infact we may have blocked the way to progress, by making them worshippers of things as they are.The weakness of our citizenship to-day does not.lie in any lack of attachment to the country that now is, it lies rather in the dt si SAREE OURO: Nate 5 A SN ah ele 24 EDUCATIONAL RECORD danger that the citizen will not move on to something better until some calamity befalls him.The true patriot is not the one who looks upon our present social conditions, and present economic system, and present methods of government, as models of perfection which should be respected, but not meddled with.The real patriot is the one who is impressed with the defects, the injustice, the inefficiency of present practices, but who, at the same time, feels himself responsible for undesirable conditions, and under obligation to render his best cooperative effort for their improvement.While we teach our pupils respect for law, we must also teach them that only in so far as laws are just have they any claim to respect, and that it devolves upon the citizens themselves to ensure that the laws of their country are respectable.Moreover, while we see to it that our pupils have respect for the high offices of our land, offices that represent our ideals of justice, equality, welfare, and security, we must also see to it that this idealistic aspect of office does not become an inhibition against criticism of the occupant of the office, but rather an incentive to be alert as to what happens through the office, and to safe-guard the sanctity of the office by ensuing that only worthy characters occupy it.Our pupils should be taught that critical judgment concerning all official acts is always in order when citizens confer on matters pertaining to the welfare of their country.The following suggestions are offered as indications of the lines along which patriotic training might be rendered more effective: 1.See to it that pupils become acquainted with the society of which they form a part.In other words, introduce them to their country.This will mean (1) that pupils be led habitually to notice the happiness or misery of other pupils and of men and women and children in the community; to see social conditions through the eyes of those who experience them, and to discover the causes of these conditions.Pupils should be led to find their duties as citizens by studying the state of society, and the state of the individuals that constitute it.After all, the greatest problems of state have to do with the simple facts of living, and with living happily together.(2) Moreover, pupils will be initiated into the inquiries and activities which citizens have to perform.They will get training in being patriotic citizens.They will observe social institutions and governmental organs in action, and be brought into direct communication with leaders and officials of the local community.They will be required to cooperate in the official work of the police, the firemen, the street cleaners, health officers, and other such civic employees.(3) Pupils will cooperate in the self-government of the school, and in the improvement of conditions in which they, as a school society, live.The school itself must give training in cooperation, and must let the pupils taste the abundant joys that are attainable by means of it.In fact the school should be a community enterprise for counteracting any undemocratic influence in the community.2.Train pupils to recognize individuals among them, who are specially fitted to hold important positions and perform important tasks.Give pupils experience in filling offices and taking the consequences, good or bad, of their choices.Let pupils learn to select leaders with vision and skill and trustworthiness, and then trust them.In this way the school will become a school of Rr A) pen Oo acc ec anne non n nee TEACHING PATRIOTISM 25 citizenship, laying the foundations of political intelligence, and turning out people who are able to recognize expertness when it appears, and willing to reward it with opportunity for service.We shall not have real experts in government until the governed demand them, and until the governed can distinguish between the political expert and the mere politician.3.Train pupils in right attitudes towards minorities.They must learn that it is not always right for a majority to do anything that the constitution permits.They should learn that minorities are valuable, and should be treated with respect.Let them learn by experience the service which a minority can render by pointing out weakness in the proceedings and policy of the majority, and in keeping ever before the majority the idea that the least of the citizens ÿ must be taken into account.Pupils should learn, too, that the greatest reforms À of the past originated in the minds of minorities; that the most important E changes that are to occur to-morrow are to-day in the keeping of some minority; | and that the most significant part of any society is a minority in which progressive ideas are germinating.To give this sort of training may mean, on the part of some of our high schools, a reorganization of the management and activities of the school; it may mean new courses on the curriculum, such as community civics, and current events; it may mean less emphasis on traditional subjects, and more emphasis on present needs; but whatever it may mean, it seems to the writer that the type of training suggested here cannot be neglected.The gchool or the curriculum that does not provide for such training is not designed for this day and generation.We cannot afford to let any other activities, listed on the course of study, 1 take precedence over this type of education, nor can we afford to let our educa- ] tional system put more emphasis upon other phases of school work, than upon i this matter of practical training for citizenship.Editor\u2019s note.\u2014Dr.Rothney\u2019s article is an important one.With the E example of what merely emotional patriotism has done in Germany through ; the Nazis; the cruelties, the destruction of representative and responsible government, the muzzling of a free press, the muzzling of all teachers and professors, the nationalization of the churches, the ridiculous theory that only Nordics can ; be real Germans\u2014these and other sad developments, including the persecution E of the Jews, are the results of an emotional patriotism aroused and directed by ; the man Hitler.; Dr.Rothney points the way for the teaching of a better and nobler patriot- | ism, acting by means of informed citizenship, and his practical suggestions will gE no doubt be studied carefully by all teachers.3 ERIS Canada 1934.The Official Handbook of Present

Décarie Boulevard, contains an interesting record of this division of education for handicapped children.Theory and practice go hand in hand, or head with hand, as may better express the imaginative creation and practical accomplishment.In the manual training department, drawings are made to scale of articles of furniture which have been selected for the purpose of construction.In the Arithmetic Class, calculations are made of the quantities and sizes of material required for the \u201cmill bill\u201d specification.Following completion of the plan and specifications, the work is then finished in the woodworking shop at the school.The interesting craft of weaving has now been added to the curriculum.Light frame, wooden looms, were first imported from Sweden, which have since been copied by the pupils in the Manual Training Department, who are quick to seize upon any new trial of their skill in construction.The actual weaving is preceded by creation of the designs in the art classes\u2014warp and woof being sketched into the design which has been selected for reproduction.Colours are harmonized; texture decided upon; the warp is placed on the reel, passed through the reel and made fast to the beam.This preparation must all be completed before the flying shuttles carrying criss-cross threads, complete the pattern of the finished work\u2014small wonder that the web of life has been so often symbolized from the weaver\u2019s art.Recreation at \u201cMacKay\u201d is not by any means overlooked.The report shows a swimming class enjoying this healthy exercise at the fine pool in the Community Hall at Notre-Dame de Grace, which is near the school.There is also a reproduction of a photograph of a troop of boy scouts in full uniform.The Scoutmasters report that the boys are keen to compete in their badge work.During the year His Excellency the Earl of Bessborough, Governor General, paid an official visit to the school, much to the delight of the pupils.Copies of this well illustrated report will be mailed by the Secretary to any teachers who may be interested in this phase of educational work.i pu RE i : x on : ; AACE RA ae 30 EDUCATIONAL RECORD

medical certificate.2.Section 525 of the said act is amended by adding thereto, after the first paragraph thereof, the following paragraph: \u201cNotwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, from and after the 13th of April, 1933, any married female officer of primary education who retires from teaching after twenty years of service, before attaining fifty years of age, shall be entitled only to the reimbursement of the stoppages which she has paid into the pension fund, without interest.However, in the case of po qu OOD ODE EELS REPORT OF PENSION COMMISSION 33 widowhood and when such officer resumes teaching, she shall recover her rights to the pension, provided that she returns to the pension fund, within the five years next after her re-entry into teaching, the sum which she has received.Such re-payment may be made in five equal and annual payments.\u201d 3.Section 542 of the said act is amended by replacing the word: \u201cfour\u201d, in the first line of paragraph 2 thereof, by the word: \u201cten\u201d.The whole respectfully submitted, (signed) FRANCOIS PAUL NOEL, Secretary.The report of the Secretary was adopted.The Commission authorized the Department of Education to pay the pension of all the pensioners over 56 years of age who have renewed or will have renewed their application and who have established or shall establish that they are entitled to it for the ending half-year and the next half-year.It authorized, also, for the same period the payment of the pension of pensioners under 56 years of age have who in addition produced a medical certificate.However, the Commission believing that the cause in virtue of which certain pensioners have obtained their pension has ceased, gave instruction to the Sec- reatry to notify them immediately, in accordance with article 528 of the Education Act, that the payment of their pension will be discontinued at the end of one year from the month of July next, 1934.The medical certificates produced by these pensioners, in support of their application, are incomplete and do not state with sufficient clearness that they are unable to teach.The Commission authorized the Superintendent to require the physicians who examined them to be more precise as to the nature and gravity of their illness.He was requested to submit these new certificates at the next session.These

Barnett taught for 3 months in each of these schools and did very well.During December, January and February he held night classes for the adults.Mutton Bay.\u2014The attendance was much better than in previous years.Mr.Snow who has been in charge of this school for the past three years continues his keen interest in the individual characteristic of each child.The work done in this school was also very good.For the first time the young people organized the Christmas entertainment without any coaching whatsoever, and it was very encouraging to see how well they did it.Twice a week during the Winter months night classes for French were opened for the adults and the older pupils, and proved very profitable and interesting.The inspector took charge and the interest was so keen that we hope to continue on the work next winter.La Tabatière.\u2014The pupils did not do so well as last year as an epidemic of sore throat and cold was raging in the community during the months of December, January, and February that resulted in the attendance being very irregular.St.Augustine River.\u2014Mr.Jones who taught at Bradore last year taught here and as he is very efficient the school work was excellent.Old Fort Bay.\u2014Mr.Dumaresq taught here and although the attendance was not as regular as it ought to have been, nevertheless the results obtained were quite satisfactory.The people in this village are extremely poor, and when the cold weather started many of the children could not attend school through lack of warm clothing.This is our second largest school with over forty pupils on the roll.St.Paul\u2019s River.\u2014Miss Bailey who is an indefatigable worker did excellent work.The attendance was almost perfect, and the school was kept in perfect order.Bradore Bay.\u2014Situated almost on the border of Newfoundland Labrador continues to show an increase on its roll.All grades did very good work.

all the Protestant elementary school in the following counties: Arthabaska, Beauce, Dorchester, Drummond, Levis, Megantie, Richelieu, Richmond, St.Hyacinthe, Shefford (Municipalities of Ely North and Ely South) and Wolfe.Two visits were made to each of the schools during the year with the exception of three which were operated as summer schools and were not in operation at the time of my second tour of inspection.Reports were sent to the teachers, and to the school boards, and a Bulletin of inspection for each municipality was forwarded to the Department of Education, Quebec.Teachers\u2019 Conferences were held at Richmond, Leeds Village and at Mill- field, Inverness, which were well attended by the teachers.At the Richmond Conference I was ably assisted by Miss M.A.Smith, Assistant Supervisor of French, Dr.Rothney and Mr.P.C.Duboyce, N.P.secretary of the Richmond school board.The qualifications of the teachers engaged were as follows: Intermediate diplomas, 3; Interim intermediate diplomas, 4; Elementary diplomas, 31; Interim elementary diplomas, 9; Rural elementary diplomas, 1; Maedonald College permits, 4; no diplomas, 2.The length of service of the teachers in the same school were as follows: No.of years in the same school:.| 1 2 3 4 5 8 32 Number of teachers.32 12 2 4 2 1 1 A It is advisable for school boards to retain the services of capable teachers as

municipalities:.| 1 1 3 2 2 1 1 2 In general we note improvements on the premises of the rural schools.More attention is paid by the teachers and pupils to the appearance of the class rooms, sheds and toilets and the school grounds.To cite one instance in particular: A teacher having charge of a school in a very weak municipality, managed, with the assistance of the parents and friends, by means of entertainments and in other ways, to raise funds sufficient to enable them to repaint the interior of the school room,\u2014ceiling, walls, and floor, varnish the organ, desks, and seats, re- enamel the water container, re-slate the blackboards, provide wash basin and ] towels.The toilets were also put in good order.A little inclination backed by a little determination will sometimes accomplish a great deal.The annual visits of Mrs.Shaw and her assistants in connection with the Junior Red Cross work continue to be an inspiration to the teachers and pupils in regard to the general welfare of the school and the community.One of the teachers in my district, Miss Hazel I.Ames, after having taught about three months in one of the schools in the municipality of Melbourne, became ill quite suddenly and passed away within a few days.Miss Ames was doing good work when I visited her school in September.Her sudden death came as a great shock to all.The members of the family and the pupils have our sincerest sympathy in the sad bereavement.The discontinuance of the bonuses to the teachers for successful work, and to the school boards for improvements and progress because of the straitened | financial conditions prevailing, no doubt will be a great disappointment.We can only hope for better time to come.For the Strathcona prizes the following teachers are recommended: Mr.Armon J.McBurney, Maple Grove No.6.i Mr.Archibald Beaton, Tingwick, No.1.Miss Lillian R.Philbrick, Ely South No.3.Miss Caroline E.Penney, Cleveland No.6.Miss Ethel L.Rief, Shipton, No.12.| | ARTE HRT RIIILI IT INSPECTORS\u2019 REPORTS 49 The classification of the municipalities for this year according to (1) the length and arrangement of the school year; (2) the condition of the school houses, school grounds and toilets; (3) the supply of apparatus; (4) the use of the Course of Study; (5) the use of the authorized text books; and (6) the salaries of the teachers and method of payment, is as follows: Excellent:\u2014St.Hyacinthe, Levis.Very Good:\u2014St.Romuald, Chaudière Dissentient, Aubert Gallion, Ely North, Melbourne.Good :\u2014 Melbourne Village, St.Fulgence de Durham, Shipton, Cleveland, St.Pierre Baptiste, Inverness, Maple Grove, Dudswell, Sorel.Fair \u2014 Leeds, Tingwick, Ireland North, Ely South.Poor:\u2014St.Edward de Frampton, St.Ferdinand de Halifax, Leeds East, St.Malachie, South Ham, Nelson.Unranked :\u2014Schools closed, and pupils are attending school in adjoining municipalities :\u2014St.Pierre de Durham, Weedon.In general, we find that the schools are doing good work and that the Course of Study is satisfactorily followed.We note also that the pupils are making better use of the school libraries.Practically all the teachers in my district of inspection are taking advantage of the professional library which the Department of Education has now placed at their disposal, and which we believe will be of great service to them in keeping abreast with the educational progress of the day.Thanking the teachers, school boards and their secretaries for their assistance and co-operation in my work during the year.I have the honour to be, Dear Sir, Your obediently, 0.F.MeCUTCHEON, Inspector of Schools.NA EN DE NE EEE ENCEINTE fat = OH PR \u201cHi Ri i A I: 5 M0 Ru, D BU RN 08 fh Qu u it { OANA LI IO SRS on PS AE HA ca Sp M dd tt en Ac qe ia AO

for the High School Leaving Certificate in September.1.That examinations for the High School Leaving Certificate be held annually in the month of September.2.That the examinations be supplementary only and be confined to those candidates who have earned the privilege of writing.3.Supplementary examinations should be restricted to those subjects in which a sufficiently large number of candidates are likely to present themselves, e.g.English (Literature and Composition) French (written only) Latin, Algebra I, Geometry I, Intermediate Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, History.4.The examinations shall be held in Montreal but, with the approval of the Director of Protestant Education, it may be held at other centres also.5.A fee of $2.00 shall be demanded from candidates for each supplementary examination paper.eer MINUTES OF PROTESTANT COMMITTEE 51 6.The regulations should be changed to meet the new conditions.In particular, pupils who have failed in not more than two papers may write sup- plementary examinations within sixteen months of the first writing.On the motion of Dean Laird, seconded by M.MeMaster, the principles of the report were approved with the understanding that regulations would be drafted and submitted at the next meeting.The sub-committee on Superior Education Grants made the following recom- mendations which were adopted: STATEMENT OF REVENUE AND
