A you friend recently brought me his sc ool readers to look over, and by a lucky chance I had my1 old fifth reader at hand to com- pare with them. 1 went to a little one-room school which stood next to _our house, with the schoolmas- ters garden between; and before I oonunence with the books, I must say something about the school.

Our school was a "church school" the orgy kind (if we except the so-call “public schools" like Eton and Harrow) to be found in the nriglarid of those far-off days, It! was provided by the Established| Church but maintained by the of- ferings oi the faithful, supple- mented by the school -- money (fees) brought ln every Monday

to you) i (8 cents) for the highest: As the register was called each child came up and laid his (or her) tribute on the "maistors" desk. which began (in the imagin- ation of one youthful scholar) to resemble the table of the money- changcrs in the Temple! was, however, .the offerings of the great coal-owners and the gentry that kept the school running and paid the master's salary. In our simple avstcm there was but one trustee-tile Vicar of the Par- lsli. who kept the accounts and paid weekly visits to the school as general nspector. We sang for him, ho heard us read, and so on. Once a year an lnquisilor sup- posed to be a "Government Inspec- tor" made his appearance, hand- cd each scholar some sheets of ruled paper, along with 1arintcd cards containing graded arithme- tical problems, questions on pars- ing. analysls and grammar, etc., and set us to work. Then when all were working, he heard the “standards? read and recite in rotation. It was a long session tlifili| day, ethane from 9 to l o'clock. but t e rest of e day was ours!» Then he gathers the cards and gapers and departed. In due time ls report came in, when the lucky scholars were "passed" to a high- er standard. It was generally bo- lieved in the village that the per- centage of passes determined the master's salary; arid so he took every‘ pains with his little flnck. 1 W en the Inspector,‘ or an oth- er visltor came in. we nl rose, and stood at attention, "to show good~ manners." tlll the master waved us to our seats. For the rest, we were thoroughly demo- cratic among ourselves: the squireia son had to justify his existence and fight hls own battles like tlie rest. of us. The master flogged us all impartially when we needed lt- and nobody found fault with lllllll‘ _ Our play was mostly oi a co- operative kind‘ marbles. In winter the rougher children played “shiliney" on the ice, a crude kind of hockey. When I came to Canada I found that the children of the rural school's were not interested in “tcam" games. and wondered why. The reason became apparent when i studied the circumstances. My playfellow‘; were mostly miner's sons, living lri a compact little vil- lage. When "school was over." we had a long evening (and a long twilight) for play. There may also have been something hereditar in the team s irlt, for tho mners themselves onned groups and un- ions and had their own Coo erative Stores. In Canada (spea lng of thirty-five years ago) the rural schools were attended by farmers’ children who often lived a con- siderable distance from their neighbor; and were employed after school hours in doing "chore ( roperly "chars") round the farm. arming in itself develops an in- dlviduallstlc turn oi mnd: each farmer must decide for himself in all his undertakings, and some- times in a hurry: and this is against the team spirit. These things produced a dfferent type of scholars. There were no Education Acts, and no compulso y attendance. wherefore I did not go to school tlll was ten ears old. That was aotb n unusua : hundreds bi chil- dren ldn't go at alll~ The rmster ave me the "once over" arid to is surprise my reading was so good that I was to read in the fifth standard. (There were six stan- dards). For all other subjects I sat in the lowest class. Hence it was that I treasured my old "fifth reader" and brought lt across the sea.

The Canadian readers are evid- ently deslgned to give the euth- fu scholar a taste for rca lng a superior class of literature. In general they are made up of ex- cerpts from the works of Canadian writers and frequently deal with Canadian history, adventures, and scenery. The selections of poety, all meritorious. are cosmopolitan, and Tennyson, Browning and Kip- ling, share the stage with our own oets. If I were asked glie status of the poems. reply that. Rcnerally. they are' ethical, rather than scenic or his-

rical.

Onc of the Readers recommends itself by the commeits and s- tlons appended to each selection. They give excellent guidance to the youthful student of literature, something the compiler of my fifth reader never thought oi. However, I have not yet come across evid- once that rural school-children L.
