Cou menace to the it appreciated _ purpose of again directing Public attention to the c t0 the Timber resources of the country next week b made by Royal proclamation save the Forest j adj that has been done towards Protection of the forests unnecessary wastage still goes on and if it is to be will have to be through Loyal co operation by the people 1 much More than through government action important hat May be. The educational work that has been carried past has not been All in vain. The importance of the much More generally recognized than it was a few and much greater efforts Are being made to Deal with it. Re year3 ago there was no Dominion forestry Branch and Cial forestry Branch. There was not a technically forester in Canada while today there Are about 200. 0 in bars ago courses Are now provided at four of our universities p re station work is being carried on including that of five or if Jelp and paper companies that Are planting or preparing to 91 a n a Large scale. A few years ago we could Only guess at Obi t of the forests while now through surveys that have be or Are being made we have a fairly accurate Kivow the Timber resources of the country. Close account is h year and an Effort is made to closely of of the amount Cut each the the destruction through fire insects and fungus. And Brines the general conviction that the destruction of is proceeding at a greater rate than new be forests is is that capital. Are heading directly for exhaustion of our Forest j Pip ravages were heavy in the Prairie provinces last year. It had a Normal season but even then 310 fires i and 4fr .000 acres were Burnt Over including lire Timber. In Saskatchewan the loss was 502.000 acres being fire swept involving the destruction acres of Merchantable Timber and acres of toaii22to-.vtli. Alberta also suffered severely chiefly in the North we vere 641 fires reported covering an area of acres in he three Prairie provinces therefore acres were last season and that is an extremely unfortunate and is War these provinces May suffer less and the rest of the Competition. There has been no suggestion of a constructive nature. The existence of a state of affairs Dalling for action has been denied by some of the1 critics of the action others while admitting that the situation is bad have poured scorn upon the government s proposals. What can ten ships outside the Combine do we Are asked. It might be observed that apparently the Mere threat of ten ships has thrown this mighty Combine into a panic which suggests that ten ships in the actual business of carrying cargoes could do quite a bit. However critics of this Type in parliament now have their Opportunity. If they have alternatives to the Petersen contract which Are better and will be More effective at the same or a lesser Price this is the time to produce them. The country is in a receptive mood. Every country is cursed by two great radicals and those who Are not. There was a great Rush of business when this liquor stores opened in Saskatchewan. Large quantities were sold. This May not keep up. The demand on the opening Day would foe to nil up the Reserve tanks. Over situation. Thi Mutry More heavily. The vast majority of the fire wastage is cd to pure carelessness and negligence and the Only explanation being allowed to continue is that the Canadian people do i sufficiently understand the value of their forests and the is ored position Canada holds As compared with other the pulp and paper Mills countries because of their Possession tie lumber Mills and other Wood using industries Are entirely dependent upon the preservation of the forests. Agriculture be peels upon them for an Assurance of rainfall and the Power Raf Lable on on streams is likewise dependent. They Are a Valu Jile recreation around for our own people and Are very valuable of attracting possible benefits from which business this country is just beginning to realize. Depletion of lie forests would mean raising the prices of All products of Forest Tho Cost of Home building. It would very seriously for the National railways alone spent Poa and avoid products last year and their earnings were enhanced carrying some 240.000 carloads of Forest products. Direct Revenue from Forest operations is also received by the Dominion my provincial governments to the amount of about 412.000000 yearly and an immense amount of employment is provided ii taking out the Timber in the industries making Wood products and on the railways transporting them. Can a single intelligent Canadian fail to see the Force of All Tiese fads and the urgent necessity of preventing the inroads upon our Forest capital through fires which also leave the remain is Timber More exposed to insects and other enemies of the feu1 la the United states we have a sure indication of what happen to this country through continued neglect. The tidied states was once heavily wooded but the end of the Timber Supply from the original forests is now plainly in sight. They ims nov resort to reforestation or to importing from other coun tries la Minnesota which got nearly All its Timber Supply from Lac Lake states Twenty years ago the Supply now comes almost entirely from the Pacific coast. The average freight Cost is nearly six times As great and the average Selling Price has risen from 86 to thousand feet. Paper manufacturers of tic visited states and other Wood users Are earnestly studying the problem of continued supplies of their raw material. There a a world shortage of soft Timber for paper making and construction work Timber that forms the greatest part of the Canadian forests. Would it not then be the height of Folly Tor go of sacrificing this great National asset throwing away favored position and laying up punishment for the future Tho of the forests depends not nearly so much upon m efforts of the fire fighters As upon the care and precautions by All who go into the upon settlers id others in observing the regulations in regard to the Clearing " land campers learning the proper methods of builds.

Canada remains a land of Romance and adventure. The suggestion has been made in the House of commons that the civil service might be Cut in two. As a matter of fact so might the House of commons.

This will be All right provided there is no crime in Tho town. But supposing some body shoots the maj or or Breaks in or. Paton and the teachers by Alison Craig undeniably to rnsemb7.es or. Punch. We had read of John Lewis Paton great Britain especially of Man Chester guest of the National coun cil of education As he travelled further from the cast and he sounded instructive. We had searched for him in the thick red importance of who s who and Dis covered that his life had been an orderly progression through the alphabet. If there is an . De free or. Paton has it. And hero he is.

One sentence and immediately his Audi ence is aware of that electric some thing that powerful illusive some thing called personality. He Speaks easily now and then referring to his notes to take up his Point and then he is off again. His voice is Reso Nant and Clear his enunciation except at those Momenta when he Falls victim to the vice of his countrymen and swallows one his phrases. But there Are plenty left plenty to hold his audience fluid flowing to meet his mind. Eloquent he is at Rimes not with the studied eloquence the orator but with those words winged by the imagination that Haiti made a circumstance us own Rich the Denota Tion of his remarks Richer still their connotation the connotation of background of culture and still More a background of intellect eager for Contact with life and his humor almost of the Gawky Quality of the Scot that sort humor that enables a Man to watch himself go by a gift rarely vouchsafed to men Al most never to school masters. Tramp across Africa. At that life s not a tramp across Africa. But then or. Paton apparently has had some unfortunate experience with by the Way the term has no reference to its Slang use in least we do not think it has. At any rate he tells a Story about three men senior wranglers in who upon graduation took up work in a chemistry Laboratory and were greatly sur prised to discover that their abstract mathematical formulae had Concrete application in science. This How Ever seems an extreme Case of dumbness. Even among senior wranglers. In or. Paton s opinion the British a pre eminently practical people. This is shown even in the matter o salutation. The Frenchman in quires How do you carry Cor him life is an adventure in deportment. The German to whom tile universe is a mystery says How does it go with the Anglo Saxon says How do you doing1 being the big. Thing with him. The audience is one with the speaker. It applauds in the True Anglo Saxon manner Superior and yet kind to the other nations. The Anglo saxons do do least we Are master hands at muddling through. Or. Paton s third address concerned the corporate life of the and it was then he declared that the significant contribution of the great English Public schools was the of school As a society. The school As a whole educates the Stu Dent. Everybody contributes in the says and throughout the generations which have gone. The life of my school became one with the life Stream streaming through it s a far off Little boy or. Paton pictures himself at the old school conning Over his Horace and making his Way to the place in the Stone Wall where he carefully scoops the Moss from the name of Philip Sidney s cup of water to the lips of this Small boy Sidney s cup of water to these Many teachers of a far new land the life of the school one with Hie life of the race and streaming through the years to Saint upon the life Stream of the Empire. We started out to write about the Manitoba educational association convention and find we have Given All our space to or. Paton. Well or. Paton was the convention. Perhaps one should except presi Dent Marshall s address. As or. Paton observed it was the sort of an address Over which one should Ponder in retirement. When a scots Man takes to talking upon the significance of history it is no trick at All for him to step into philosophy and after that we entirely agree with the distinguished guest it is the better part of valor for those of less favored racial origins to retire with or without the manuscript.

Or Paton explains that Tho curriculum of the school of which lie was a Momber was not subject to any suits of popular opinion. It had got to itself a pro gramme in the Days of Erasmus saw no reason for change. Is Rasmus however had not been very closely in touch with Cotton firms and so this Young business Man found that what he had Learned had t the least connection with business.

There Are More misfits in business than in the professions he declares. Bach morn ing sees some tank begun each evening sees it training in punctuality and order in accuracy of detail and statement May a. Taken for granted. He thinks too that pupils should be taught to express themselves in Clear English which cannot be misunderstood. As a member of a profession which dedicates its waking and sleeping hours to just this accomplishment May we suggest that or. Paton is too optimistic.

Being suggested in certain that the Dominion gov to Railroad this Petersen contract through. Hut was instead forced to remit the ques Tion to a committee for consideration through political pressure applied from the outside. There does not appear to be the slightest basis in fact for this claim. There Are certain things that the committee will not need to take much time Over the existence of a Combine and the maintenance by arrangement of rates at a level which is out of line with the ser vice rendered. There is no doubt in the mind of anybody who has been impartially following the Dis Cussion that there is an Ocean rate situation which Calls for action. The criticism to Date of the pet Ersen.

Or Paton would have the child put in the Way of studying the significance of business necessarily commercial correspondence which the speaker considers has attained a realm of fantastic conventionality All its own. He would have him study the modern that to May to come deaf and dumb in several tongues but that May speak them As they Are spoken history too with the last two years devoted to study of the eco nomic motive.

A Canadian club record apparently the Law of compensation works in Ottawa. If one must live there one has the advantage of coming in Contact with some of the persons who Are making history or who have been where history is Makins and who can convey to others the result of their observations. This is strikingly evidenced by the tear Book of the Canadian club of the capital City 1922-23, 1923-24, which carries reports of thirty nine be fore the club. Nearly All Are quoted verbatim.
