Hrs stored at the general Post in Mon fur transmission through the mails i the British Isles at Joland soon so 3 by the or. Meighen and the National railways 3lr. Meighen is reported As saying at Western ont., that the i Canann National railways Are admittedly and he taken to task in certain quarters for saying so. Since the try is obliged for the time to make up the annual to flits of the Road it could be maintained that judged by the Dards applied to privately owned roads their condition is much As described. But what else could be expected so after the forming of the National hallway system out of of bankrupt railways which had Tif be taken Over because there was no other solution to the problem5 mailable at that time the question which is very apropos is does or. Meighen to see the National railways continue in this condition since he was a party to the taking Over of the railways by the government and since he still defends that policy one would Turallo suppose that he would be in favor of a reorganization of the finances of the system such As would give it a fighting Chance and enable it some Day to get out of its present condition. And the Prospect for that Happy result would be very Good consider what has been accomplished already and what the National hallways Are sure to gain from the growth of the country in the Early future. If the bankrupt railways that were taken Over by the government had been allowed to go into liquidation they perhaps not be bankrupt now but a Large part of their debts would have been either wiped out or transferred to the Dominion treas Ury and some parts of the country might have been left without Rai Vav sender. The government took them Over debts and All it chose in addition of course to meeting its own guarantees to protect the Security holders who had no special claim to consideration by the government. Why should or. Meighen not be willing now to treat the system As a practical railway it of some of the inordinate Burden of debt which would have been passed Over to the Federal Treasury in any other Case and give it a Chance to get its head above water by keeping it loaded up with a Ridi Emilous and impossible Burden of debt no reasonable on pose is served but it does Handicap in various ways the future prospects of the system. For one thing it tempts Public men who Are bad tempered because they Are out of office to include the railway within the scope of their denunciation in the Hope that they May thereby score off the government. The practice is not fair to the railway and As it is of no value but quite the reverse to the parties indulging in it it might very profitably be abandoned. Hie greater Reward to live in the hearts of those we leave behind is not to the desire of the former pupils of the late John h. Mulvey to Honor his memory in some Concrete Way is a tribute to the service which he rendered in the teaching profession for More than forty years. To thai teachers who regard their work not merely As a Means of making a living but also As an Opportunity for service of the finest kind the greater Reward is the deep respect and affection of those who have come under their instruction. It is due to Lite character and ideals of the teacher and his sincere and personal interest in his pupils. Afterwards they scatter but they carry with them the treasured memory of a devoted Helper and Friend. Teachers who have the True inspiration for their work can never in sufficiently remunerated by the state. But they will always have As part of their Reward the High respect and grateful remembrance of their former pupils. I Marx for German president it now seems a foregone conclusion that sex Chancellor Marx will be elected president of Ger Many on april 25 since the socialists the centrists and the democrats have agreed to unite in sup porting him As their candidate. These Republican parties together polled a substantially larger vote than the nationalist bloc at the first round of the election a week ago and there is Little possibility that Jse latter can increase their strength sufficiently to defeat the Republican coalition. Tan election has however shown he strength of the nationalist bloc. Their candidate or. Jarres denied at his election would endanger the Republican idea and said that he would abide by the Constitution. The included in the nationalist Bury their difference in order to maintain the Republic. The republicans have got together now in support of a presidential candidate and if they can work to Gether reasonably Well during the next few years and. If Europe gets a Chance to Settle Down and Ger Many to make Progress in the re building of its fortunes the monarchist movement will see a great decline. Regarding the organizing activities in Canada. He refuses to recognize those who Hare been engaging in them and says that some of them have not been True to the principles of the organization and that their activities in Canada Are undoubtedly prompted Only by the same selfish and ulterior motives As characterized their activities in the United As far As representing the klan a the to jolted states is concerned then these organizers who have been so Busy in this country Are simply fairs. They have tried of course to give the organization a Canadian and British flavor but with the reputation which they carry and with the seeds of discord which they seek to Plant Here there is every reason to question the desirability of the work which they have been carrying on., woe however really desire the restoration of the monarchy and it the movement gained strength and secured greater popular support in country an attempt would no doubt be made to attain that object divisions amongst the re pub of course have All along pro bed the Opportunity for the a.

Laid Here for attracting tourists it is of interest to learn that a fund of is being raised by the Ontario tourists research Bureau for the purpose of a co operative Campaign to increase the volume of tourist traffic. This business is said to have benefited Ontario last year to the extent of about and it is designed to exceed this Mark by this season. Ontario is now pretty Well provided with Good roads and can afford to spend a Good Deal on advertising in the United states. This is to be done and other plans include close co operation Between All Chambers of Commerce boards of Trade motor leagues and associations railways steamship companies ferries and publicity bureaus and Industrial commissioners of municipalities. Ottawa and Montreal Are inter ested in the improvement of the Highway connecting them As offering an additional route for motor tourists from the United states and As Likely to be helpful in bringing them to Canada it is suggested that they will come to the capital by the Prescott Ottawa Highway then proceed to Montreal and Back by an Eastern route. As an indication of the possibilities of developing the tourist Busi Ness the department of the Interior has published a report which shows that 47.5 per cent of the total num Ber of pleasure cars in the United states Are owned by people living the states bordering on Canada.

It is also announced from London that a Cabinet committee has been named to investigate a new Constitution for the upper House. Dear dear in t this trifling with the very heart of the Empire it the. Russian government has decided to ask private capital Trade again it. Is the system of Complete government control of Industry has proved a failure. There is plenty of Opportunity in the world Lor private capital if it is willing to . Presumably the House is going to get through this week. But to do so. With any degree of Comfort some thing will have to be done about the suburban municipalities Meas ure. On monday night we had a couple of suggestions to that effect or rather one suggestion by two people namely that the government should withdraw the Bill and give in the recess More study to the problem. One suggest or even went so far As to intimate that an exert should be brought in to look things Over and advise naturally both the members who did the suggesting represented suburban constituencies. I. Tanner of West took an hour and a half to do his bit or. Bernice who followed took half an hour or More to offer his views and it the end of that time adjourned the debate. It being half past ten the theory was that the House would then adjourn but at 10.45, when we left they were talking about Prairie chickens. Well seeing that the problem of the suburban municipalities is largely a. Case of chickens coming Home to Roost presumably the transition is not an unnatural one. Very much As though there is going to be a drive to have the suburbs absorbed in the City or. A greater Winnipeg area created. Or. Tanner quoted what had been done lately in this respect in Brisbane Queensland which is a Long any they have created an area of 385 Square Miles with a Popula Tion around or. Bernier dwelt upon the Montreal commis Sion which has nothing to do with the police Force. Or. Tanner seemed to think that the school problem alone was such that some Consolida Tion was. Way to solve the problem or. Bernier thought that the destiny of St. Boniface eventually was absorption and in the meantime if there was to be greater Winnipeg area created it should not be brought about with out Winnipeg As the. Centre. Sundry facts were adduced in the course of the conversation among others that 10 per cent of Ali e popular to n of the province of Manitoba is living in the suburban municipalities and so Forth. There is probably a Rne Anure of truth in the argument that few of interests affected have had a Chance to study in detail the report of the committee which investigated the situation and that the foil. As brought Down is Only a step in the direction of the final solution. At any it will not pos sible for the committee to consider the measure until wednesday which will involve a considerable Rush to get through by thursday As once in committee certainly the Munici pal authorities will be heard from. In the circumstances there fore it will not be surprising it the government decides to withdraw the measure although it is understood that the municipal commissioner whose Bill Tion a Good Deal of. Study and. Feels that the measure is As far As the gov eminent should commit its Eli in the circumstances. It Bill preceded by a message and the step is not one which any govern ment likes taking. In. The Circum stances however seeing that two at least of the. The municipalities Don t like and that it was introduced to help out their troubles the government May Well feel that if the suburbs want to slew a Little further in their own juice that is their business. There is something however to or. Ber Uler s argument that the situation is not without its effect on general conditions. In the province and vice Ersa. We Don t know How Many of the spectators in the gallery came from Brooklands and St. James but they the from the others that they thank goodness Are not the those and at times we Are tempted to recall the saying but for the Grace of god there goes Joh n Bun lest it be thought that it conversation be it recorded that four government Bills got third readings in the shape of. The supplementary estimate and capital Supply Bills the Rural credits amendments and the co operative marketing bul.

Forke Means that any. Supposed truce is off and that the progressives Are out. To beat the government on the Tariff Issue if they can do it. The theory of opposition strategists that the progressives Are merely liberals in disguise is not True and. Never has been True. The party which fought and beat Liberal candidates All Over the Prairie provinces at the last election did not do that in order to set up a Liberal government. And what that party did four years ago the Leader says it in tends to try and do disapproves of three cornered contests a certain measure of co operation Between the. Conservatives and the progressives in the coming Provin Cial election in Saskatchewan is foreshadowed in a recent speech by Harris Turner . Speaking at Saskatoon As reported by the Star of that City he expressed the View that where progressive and conservative candidates were both run Ning against government candidates and it., appeared in consequence that this would result in the return of the Liberal candidates with less than 50. Of the total votes then in his it would be quite the proper thing for either the progressive or conservative to drop out in any such seats. Progressives and the. Budget the budget debate has demonstrated that the progressives Are very much alive according to the Ottawa correspondent of the Mone tary. Times who says until the budget was announced it looked very much As though they were passing out of the. Picture As an. Active Factor in the life of parliament. But they have demonstrated that such is not the Case. On the contrary they Are very much alive and Are a Force to be reckoned with. That they will continue to be quite a Factor for. Some time is evident from the action of the government in withdrawing its Amend ment dumping clause when it found out that the progressives were strongly opposed to it. It is probable that there will be another Strong demonstration by the progressives when the australian Trade treaty-., is submitted to the House. As it is expected that it will have the effect of raising the duties on certain farm products the progressives will oppose this a in on the other hand the conservatives Are expected to sup port such action thus ensure the passage of the the pame correspondent states that the general impression is that the decks Are cleared As cum idly As possible for a general election talk is plenty of work for.

Of of course the Herald has never shown any for. The reduction of Ocean rates. It seems to be More concerned the interest of the steamship companies. It is also interesting to note that while or. Meighen has always de the construction of the ships after the termination of the Warr by the government of which a member the Herald condemns that policy. It says we have always doubted the peace time Wisdom and Utility of the it was a War expedient endorsed by a United Parlia and it should be treated As such. .

Bringing to us stories from the far shores of Antiquity discover that in those High and far off times committees met for the revision of. The curricula of the. Schools it will be no Surprise to us. Following up clues suggested to us by sympathetic guides As to the whereabouts of the sitting of. Mani Toba s latest education commission we made a tour of the. Parliament when it occurred to in just what or. Euclid meant by his Sapient observation that no Royal Road to learning. This is How we missed the first part of or. Mar Cus Hyman s or. By Man being one of the speakers on behalf of the Independent labor referred to by the elect As the the com Mission. As we. Arrived Imp Hyman was discovering to the company that if to would give five minutes every night to Reading with his son it would be More time de voted to this subject in the whole year at school. Just Why or. By Man. Could to take this five minutes off was t made Clear but that. It seems was t the Point. The Point was that the schools weren t Thor Ough in their teaching. If they were the witness was optimistically sure that the Public would t take up its time Reading the scandalous head lines a the How does or. Are scandalous can it be that he reads then there was something wrong with the teaching of mathematics As a training of the reasoning Powers. If there weren t How could so Many taken in by a recent Gold Brick scheme if., they had been taught to use their reasoning Powers surely this financial Caius Tropha would have been averted. There is that View of course and then there. Is Barnum s observation concerning one born every minute. Teaching of spelling a the fetish of spelling is another phase that does t meet or. Hyman s approval. There is far too much emphasis upon spelling in our schools. Long lists of gentleman s tone conveys impression that there is something positively immoral in this sort of thing. He would prefer to., have a letter ill spelled than ill expressed. Ability to spell Means Nucile our inferiority Only persons interested in spelling Are gentlemen who dictate and he does t see Why the whole school system should be fixed to Benefit one class. He forgets the proof readers now take the writers of memoirs of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Their spelling was original and yet it did t deter Thorn from having something to say and saying it it is or. Hyman who takes these writers not us. We. Are practically dumb with Surprise that anyone should bring memoirs right into the conversation after being scandalized by present Day head lines. Deterred by spelling not a Chance. Neither by spelling nor anything1 else. Or. Hyman concludes handsomely that there ,1s nothing wrong in spell ing but. Manitoba. Schools Are paying too much for this ability. Sport is yet another it is overdone in or. Hyman s opinion. It was defended upon the grounds that it taught the children to work in groups to win with Grace and . Not one would think especially for one dedicated to the socializing of the world. We Trust we Are not mixing the doctrine of the i Willii that of the . Or. Hyman has objections to it though. For one thing sport is Well taken care of by organizations out Side the school and for another it in t effective in what it sets out to do if it Weie we would t have the spectacle of fighting that one sees in politics. It is or. Hymans dark Hought that a person in politics has to die before decency of behaviour is noticeable. We hasten to add that our interpretation of this remark is that the decency of conduct refers o his political opponents not to the departed brother himself. To use Correct English the witness further expressed himself As All for pure English he did t mind a Little Slang but god save the King s English. Just recently or Hyman has had a Terri ble experience. He went Down to Ottawa and listened in at the fed eral Hoube. There he heard an honorable member say for you and at first he thought it must be a mistake due to nervousness but no the fatal phrase is repeated. Or. Hyman suffers even in recollection. Something ought to be done about it. Tho school and Home should let no error in King Lush escape correction. Professor v. Jacksom opines that Reform has already started. The professor through some regrettable association wit i some person or persons of the University of Minne Sota acquired the horrid habit of signifying the affirmative by his four year old child however is doing what he can to eradicate the sole ism.
