Excerpt from Report of the Minister of Education, Province of Ontario: For the Year 1939The railway school car is effectively fulfilling its mission of carrying educa tional facilities to the homes where the stationary school would be impracticable. It brings education within reach of the isolated child who would otherwise be denied his chance. The children so served surmount the handicaps of distance, cold and storm, and of travel by bush and water-trail, and so keen is their interest that the school car comes close to being, in attendance, the sole 100 per cent. School in Ontario. The happy balance between intensive teaching and self directed activity on the part of the pupils prepares them to care for themselves when thrown on their own resources in after life. Many graduates are now filling responsible places in the working world.The car recently installed on the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Rail way is attempting to meet the educational needs of the children in the Laurentian area north of North Bay. It is serving six points in an eighty-mile circuit where conditions forbid the existence of permanent schools. The school car rounds out the educational system of the province by bringing within its range the child on the remote frontiers, and giving him an equal chance with the better-situated child in equipping himself for self-reliant citizenship.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
