Wonders of Education
Some time ago we drew at-

|tention to the out-of-dateness of

the geography being used in the
public schools, and also to many

inaccuracies therein. Many ed-
ueationists have a tendency to
fanaticism and the higher they
climb the more fanatical they be-
come, and apparently, a greater
nuisance to the easy going poli-
titian. Reeently Ontario issued
anew geography, prepared by a
Greek Master in a high school,
and by an English Master in a
Winnipeg high school, both men
standing high in educational
circles. The result is that in
the first few chapters there are
over a hundred mis-statements
of fact. Among some of the
more outstanding are an illuatra-
tion of Seott’s monument in Ed-
inburgh, and credited to Robt.
Burns. The map of Canada
shows only two transcontinental
railways, and it gives Moncton
the headquarters of the Canadian
National railways. The Walker-
ton Telescope winds up a com-
ment on this wonderful contri-
bution to Canadian literature by
saying. ‘This book is the geogra-
phical authority for the children
of the Province, Heaven help
the children.”

“British Columbia needs a new
geography for the public schools
—in fact has needed one for the
past twenty years. Here is a
grand opportunity for some of
the educationists to pet. next to
the province and slip a few thou-
sands of the Ontario Geography
to the B. C. schools.
