May 6.\u2014In honour of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Accession of King George the Fifth the Dominion Government proclaimed Monday, May 6 ,a public holiday.All schools in Canada are expected to close for the celebrations, and Dr.Percival requests Protestant school boards and teachers of the Province to observe the holiday.New Regulations Concerning Diplomas.\u2014Dr.Percival announces that the Regulations of the Protestant Committee have been altered to the effect that Intermediate diplomas issued on and after September 1, 1935, will remain interim.In order that teachers entering the intermediate class after that date may receive permanent diplomas it is necessary for them to receive recommendations from inspectors after teaching satisfactorily for two years and to complete successfully three sessions at an approved summer school.These diplomas may be exchanged for Advanced Intermediate diplomas if the teachers attend the Summer School at Macdonald College which is provided especially for the purpose of training for higher diplomas.As the diploma held by the large majority of teachers in this Province is of the Intermediate grade the benefits to be derived from the additional SPECIAL NOTICES SPECIAL NOTICES training will be of enormous benefit to them as well as to the children who attend their classes.Intermediate diplomas gained prior to September 1st, 1935 will be issued under the same conditions as at present.However, holders of these diplomas may also attend the Summer School and receive Advanced Intermediate diplomas upon completing the requirements.Pension Records.\u2014For the perfect administration of the Teachers\u2019 Pension Fund, it is requested that each teacher, who has not already done so, will transmit to the Department of Education, Quebec, the following information: 1.Name in full.If the teacher is married, the name of husband or wife and the date of marriage.2.Date of birth and the year and the name of the school municipalities in which the teacher has taught.Long Service Bonuses.\u2014The Superintendent has given notice with regret that no long service bonuses will be paid in October next for the present year at least.The Legislative grant for this purpose has been transferred to the Teachers\u2019 Pension Fund, in order to strengthen it. 72 EDUCATIONAL RECORD GEORGE THE FIFTH The celebration throughout the Empire of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the accession of King George is more than a personal tribute to a sovereign who, during that quarter of a century, has steadily earned and won the esteem and regard of British subjects everywhere by the qualities of mind and heart which all thinking people recognize as those befitting a constitutional monarch.It was, perhaps, in 1914 at the outbreak of the World War that the character of the King became more widely realized, emphasized later by such contem- porary records as the Letters of Ambassador Page and the Memoirs of statesmen and other observers.From the outset His Majesty showed sincere and intelligent interest in all matters affecting the welfare of the people, and in this he has been seconded with grace and dignity by Her Majesty Queen Mary.It was hence befitting that a principal feature of the celebrations in May takes the form of voluntary subscriptions to Funds destined to be used for health and general well-being.But the present writer is of the opinion that this celebration has also the wider significance of ratifying a conviction of British people\u2014the conviction that in this storm-tossed world the anchor of constitutional government under a constitutional monarch, acting upon the advice of responsible ministers, whose powers in turn are derived from the support of a majority of the freely elected he PIERS ay RRO PRO TRE PTE GEORGE THE FIFTH 73 representatives of the people in parliament, is preferable to any of the experiments in which resort has been made elsewhere to the ancient principle of dictatorship.The heritage of the English speaking peoples of the world is that of freedom.It was that spirit which, seven hundred and twenty years ago, animated the barons at Runnymedé who \u2018flung out whate\u2019er they felt, not fearing, into words\u201d (Tennyson) and wrung the Great Charter from King John; and whatever abuses have arisen or may arise under the democratic principle, and such have to be acknowledged, adherence to the principle of free and responsible government is not likely to be overthrown among the peoples who have directly inherited it from the \u201cmother of parliaments\u2019.In the schools this May, perhaps no better lesson could be conveyed than that of the meaning, the origin, the development and the rightfulness of responsible government.The full story is one of struggle, sometimes for new rights and sometimes for the restoration af ancient rights, and the fact that frequently men were able to point back to ancient rights goes to prove that \u201cof old sat freedom on the heights\u2019, and pupils may well be reminded of those verses of Tennyson ninety years ago, when he asserted of Great Britain, \u201cIt is a land that freemen till, That sober-suited Freedom chose, The land where girt by friends and foes A man may speak the thing he will; A land of settled government, A land of just and old renown, Where Freedom slowly broadens down From precedent to precedent; Where faction seldom gathers head, But by degrees to fullness wrought, The strength of some diffusive thought Hath time and space to work and spread.\u201d The full measure of responsible government was won by struggle.It was won in Canada by struggle during a number of years of the first half of the nineteenth century, but it is a question if the last two generations of Canadians have more than a vague knowledge of the fact or more than a perfunctory grasp of its significance.It is for this reason that we constantly urge a vital teaching of history in the schools, British, Canadian and World history® The best background of true patriotism as well as of right sentiment towards the Empire of which we form a part is knowledge, and the wider our knowledge of the bases of our political status the stronger will be our consciousness of the claims of political obligation and duty.2 74 EDUCATIONAL RECORD Young Canada is loyal; there is no question of that fact.But, to paraphrase the saying of Edith Cavell, loyalty is not enough.We are living in a rapidly changing world, and Canada has to choose between an exalted or a commonplace part in that world of the future, between a policy of national and international ideals and a mere attitude of drift.In the schools of Germany the children are being prepared for a narrow and exclusive spirit of nationalism by \u201ca falsification of history, for one thing, and by a race creed that has no foundation in fact, while there, as in Russia and in Italy, the chief aim is to sacrifice the freedom of the pupils to the supposed interest of \u201cThe State\u201d, summed up in the word militarism.In Canada, and in the Empire at large, educational freedom persists, but the world conditions surely call also for more attention to the development of sound and vital knowledge in our schools.We have emphasized History; two other essential subjects are Science and Modern Languages.These, as the adjunct of the not less important moral and spiritual training, will give us the right kind of \u201cplace in the sun\u201d, and the high schools of Canada in particular, have a great mission to perform in this connection.As we have often urged, the high schools have possible functions and responsibilities far greater than those concerned in the preparation of students for the universities, important as these are.J.C.SLATE HON.W.G.MITCHELL, K.C.The sudden death on April 3rd of the Hon.Walter G.Mitchell, K.C., Chairman of the Protestant Committee up to the time of his death, former Provincial Treasurer and former member of the Federal Parliament, was a shock to his thousands of friends throughout the Province.The late W.G.Mitchell was essentially an active man.As a corporation lawyer he had wide and important professional interests, but he always found time for works of general public welfare.Among these public interests that of Education had a prominent place, and he always urged, among other things, the value of playgrounds and of health-giving games and sports.Born himself in the country, at Danby, he held rightly that good playgrounds are as important for the rural schools as for those in cities and towns.The doctrine that country children are \u201chealthy anyway\u2019 is disproved, of course, by the medical surveys, and this policy of good playgrounds and good use of them may still be urged to the benefit of many.CRRA PE NE AN RRR ARI DO OOR RARE DIVISION OF COMPANY TAXES DIVISION OF COMPANY TAXES Secretary-treasurers, particularly newly appointed ones, frequently have difficulty about the division of the taxes on incorporated companies.Two articles of the Education Act govern this matter.Article 422 applies when one board is that of commissioners and the other trustees: article 423 applies when both boards are commissioners, one or the other having been erected \u2018for Protestants only\u201d or \u201cfor Catholics only.\u201d Let us take article 422 first, for the division of the company taxes between the commissioners and the trustees.The Commissioners collect these taxes, and are obliged to pay over to the trustees their proper share.Each year the division is made according to the respective enrolments of the previous year.But neither board may count children from an outside school municipality.But Protestant children, living inside the municipality, attending the Catholic schools, and Catholic children, living inside the municipality, attending the Protestant schools, are to be counted by the board which educates them.This is in keeping with the original principle that a school municipality is a unit, whether dissent is partial or complete.Next, let us suppose that the commissioners had 174 pupils in the previous year and the trustees 87, and that the company taxes collected by the commissioners, at their tax rate, amounted to $5,000.00.The share of the trustees will be as 87 is to 261, the latter number representing the total number of pupils under both boards.By dividing both figures by 87 the fraction 87-261 reduces to 1-3.Hence the share of the trustees is $1,666.67 and that of the commissioners is $3,332.33, on $5,000.00.In levying a special tax, such as may be required for a school building, each board levies upon the company according to its share of the general tax on the companies.In the above case the commissioners would levy the two-thirds of the special rate and the trustees one-third of their special rate.Neither board, however, may levy a special tax except for a purpose provided by law.In the case of two boards of school commissioners (article 423) in the same territory, the one having the larger number of ratepayers collects the special tax and pays to the other board its share, not according to school enrolment, but according to the respective numbers of children from 5 to 16 years of age of each denomination residing in the territory common to both boards, whether attending school or not.The provision contained in the words \u201cin the territory common to both\u201d is necessary on account of the fact that sometimes a board erected for Protestants only or for Catholics only has a different territory from the original school municipality.The arithmetic for the division of the company taxes is on the same principle as in the other case given above, except that the numbers of children by census replace the numbers by enrolment.The levying of the special tax is also according to the percentage of each in the general tax.J.C.8. 76 EDUCATIONAL RECORD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT, 1933-34 CONTINUED FROM LAST ISSUE a) À sum of $200,000.00 divided among all school municipalities, according to the number of children enrolled, regardless of salaries paid to teachers; b) A sum of $150,000.00 divided among all school municipalities, except cities and towns, paying an average salary of $200.00, provided there is no salary under $150.00; ¢) A sum of $150,000.00 divided among all the school municipalities, except cities and towns, paying an average salary of $250.00, provided there is no salary under $200.00; d) A sum of $65,000.00 divided among all the school municipalities, except cities and towns, paying an average salary of $275.00, provided there is no salary under $250.00; e) A sum of $35,000.00 divided among all school municipalities paying an average salary of $300.00, provided there is no salary under $275.00; I) A sum of $25,000.00 divided among all school municipalities paying an average salary of $325.00, provided there is no salary under $300.00.This other method that we recommend would be, it seems to us, a recognition of the merit of those municipalities that pay a just salary and a stimulant for others to follow their example.A GREAT CELEBRATION The great demonstrations organized for the purpose of worthily celebrating the fourth centenary of the taking possession of Canada, in the name of the King of France, by the daring St.Malo navigator, Jacques Cartier, have had lasting effects.The appeal we sent forth was heard, especially by the teaching body, which eagerly seized this opportunity to teach children a fine lesson in national history and make it more effective.Following the discoverer\u2019s example, humble crosses were erected in several places.The wooden cross erected on Gaspé point has given way to a granite one, which will continue to project its light and shade over our country and its people.This sign, seen in the heavens by Constantine, proclaims the same significant message: \u201cIn hoc signo vinces\u201d.May the saving message never be forgotten, for it means the salavation, life and survival of our race.I close this report with the following statistical summaries: GENERAL SUMMARY 3
