A Forgotten Chapter in the History of the Northeast Frontier: 1914–36

On the fateful day of July 3, 1914, the second Simla Convention was signed and sealed by Sir Arthur Henry McMahon and Lonchen Shatra (actually, while the Lonchen signed and sealed, McMahon initialed and sealed); Ivan Chen, who had initialed the first earlier in April, kept his own counsel. A joint British-Tibetan declaration stipulating that its terms would apply to China only when the latter fell in line with its two other signatories was attached to the Convention. On that same day, in Simla, the new Trade Regulations between British India and Tibet were signed.

Jonathan Scott's “Brief View”

“To enter upon a Controversy in Things of Religion, without due Consideration and weighty Cause for it, is doubtless sinful. … How much Cause there is at this Time to attempt a Vindication of the Doctrines and Practices of our holy Religion, and oppose Error and Disorder, may be manifest by duly attending to the following Treatise: and as to my entering upon this Attempt, I think I may say, it was not hasty and without Consideration. I had early Knowledge of the rising of the Cloud which has covered our Heavens and darkened our Air.” So, in the year 1784, the Reverend Jonathan Scott of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, stated the motives which led him to write, A Brief View of the Religious Tenets and Sentiments Lately Published and Spread in the Province of Nova Scotia, which are contained in a Book, entitled, “Two Mites on Some of the most important and much disputed Points of Divinity, etc.,” and in a “Sermon Preached at Liverpool, Nov. 19, 1782,” and in a Pamphlet, entitled, “The Antitraditionist,” All being Publications of Mr. Henry Alline, with some Brief Reflections and Observations, also a View of the Ordination of the Author of these Books, together with a Discourse on External Order. Such a formidable title in itself offers an outline of an almost forgotten chapter in the history of Canadian thought and literature.

University and Educational Intelligence

IN “A Forgotten Chapter in the History of Educa tion,” referring especially to the important report of the Consultative Committee on Examinations in Secondary Schools, issued in 1911, Mr. J. S. Thorn ton pleads earnestly the case of the College of Pre ceptors, a union essentially of the private schools, as the originator and sustainer of a system of leaving examinations which has not only been the inspirer of the Local Examinations instituted by the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, but has also helped mate rially in making them efficient. To quote his own words, the College “was the poor inventor; the Univer sities, by their capital and prestige, have worked the invention for all it is worth. College and University have done together what neither of them could have done separately.” So he urges that, rather than setup some other system, the State should more fully utilise the services of both bodies. But Mr. Thornton's pamphlet is much more than an apologia of the Col lege of Preceptors; it is really a fervent plea for the full recognition by the State of the private school master and the private school, even to the extent of adequate financial aid. In support of such a policy he adduces the example of Scandinavian countries, and claims that the extraordinary success it has achieved from the point of view of efficiency, fruitfulness of suggestion, freedom of experiment, excellence of results, and economy in working fully warrants the closest investigation with a view to the recognition by the State under conditions of educational freedom of every kind of efficient and needed school.
