Prostrated by too much Protection there is an old saying about the last Straw breaking the Camel s Hack the Active in supporting the Woollen manufacturer Otnie e Fordney Mccumber Tariff Bill which Pis Inhat Are of v cents per on raw Wool. Then there Are it Iii to Oto Furui a i n re Call a compensatory duties on Woollen yarn Woollen re what consider apart from their raw material to pet tors. O p to Eliza against the products of foreign Eom All these duties thus Pyra Mided were to be Pas Secton pro ugly jobbers and retailers to the consumer. 15 at first All went merry. The flock master got More for his Wool from d i 1 1 f -1 the manufacturer the manufacturer got More for his the cloth and garment were sold at an to the distributors and it Only remained for the to collect a higher Price from inc consumer. But the consumer walked. He began an unorganized but of fictive buyers to paid the Price when he had to l he purchased less. The retailer had no empty shelves to fill the commercial traveller called again the. Wholesaler Cut a Price that will never fall below this Cost of production plus a reason Able profit. When told such a thing is impossible that it would be economically unsound to impose Bur Dens upon All the people for the Benefit of one class they Point to the Tariff legislation under cover of which the great trusts and combines fix and maintain a Domestic Price for their products far above the world Price. Farmers Are not just now attacking the Tariff which so greatly benefits the manufacturer but they Are demanding government Purchase and Price fixing of agricultural products. The fight for this kind of farm Relief legislation has already begun and it will be the storm Centre of the. New United states Congress which assembles next europeans seek to leave Europe More than half million surplus unemployed looking across Atlantic million his orders in two. The Woollen manufacturer had to lower his prices do without profit or lower his production Cost by wage reductions that a Why the Reat Combine known As the american woollens Corn has ordered a general reduction in wages of ten per cent. Pany tint is Why the head of the american federation of labor is demanding to know Why the most highly protected Industry in the United states is making an inroad on the pay envelopes of rho operatives who were told that the Fordney Mccumber Tariff would increase their wages. It is Small wonder that the common Stock of the american woollens Trust which under the under Wood Tariff was Well above Par on the Stock Exchange is now kicking about the curb at 38 cents on the Dollar. In Short the . Woollen manufacturer or his unfortunate workmen must carry the Burden that was to be fitted to the Back of the ultimate consumer. That patient beast of Burden was already so loaded up that this final Straw broke his Back. Until two years demand for men s garments was the most stable of All commercial demands. Now it has to be stimulated by bargain prices. For this the Woollen manufacturer is responsible although he in turn May blame it upon the Tariff duties he helped to increase. Killed by too much Protection is Likely to be his epitaph. School children in need of special care it is becoming officially recognized what has always been known to teachers that every class has in it backward Normal and super Normal children and that the work of the class is greatly handicapped and each Section suffers by the juxtaposition of these students of such differing capacities. So far As the presence of actually mentally deficient children in the Normal class room this is becoming recognized As in unmitigated evil. There also is the difficulty of children who Are handicapped of physical defect such As Dull hearing and poor Eye sight. When or. Mae Sere psychologist of the Winnipeg schools was speak ing before the review . Of the Manitoba department Educa Tion she told of the City s three Hun tred children who were provided for in 15 special c asses. Eighty of these she claimed should be in institutions As they were not Aole to air Oft by the special classes. Superintendent Neelin has the same prob Lem in hand As it affects the. Bran Don schools and is providing special classes. Winnipeg has also a sight saving class but this is the extent of the provision in this province Foi handicapped children. It does not even in the cities begin to meet the need for such provision. Or. S. B. Sinclair inspector of auxiliary classes for. Ontario has just issued a pamphlet under the auspices of the Canadian Council of child welfare on the work being carried on in Ontario for Handi capped children. In 1914 that province passed the auxiliary class act. This provided for 14 different classes of mentally and physically handicapped children. Machinery was also provided for establishment of classes in Rural As As Urban areas. Free surveys Are granted in response to requests from a school Board or school boards in areas containing 12 or More pupils who should be placed in an auxiliary class. The vocational act has been amended to provide Indus trial training for adolescent sub normals. The Grants to auxiliary classes have been substantially in creased so that the Cost of providing for such pupils in special classes is son not appreciably greater thai that of leaving the child in the or been so satisfactory As to warrant the statement that the legislation of last year was the most valuable and progressive of any for sub children during recent or. Sinclair goes into considerable detail As to the method of approach of the school Board and the Selec Tion of the pupils the idea being to obviate As far As possible any stigma of mental deficiency. Classes Are arranged for sixteen pupils. Surveying the objections he states that the most serious one is Cost. It can be he claims that the Cost of maintaining one of these pupils in an Ordinary class is usually twice As great As that of a Normal child and As great As it would be in a special As Well there Are the claims of the Normal and the super Normal children. It would appear from or. Linclair s study that Ontario is pointing the Way along a Road which sooner or later must be taken by All the provinces. And beyond the educational problem involved lies the pressing social problem of. Ways and Means of preventing Abnor Mality and thus rendering auxiliary classes unnecessary. U tactically Ai the cities of on claims or. Sinclair have surveyed and a number of and Rura. Sections. Several sections bordering on cities also established classes.

Toronto has a Central for classes where three attendance. The a rib Are in that ninety cent Dollar the . Secretary of agriculture has announced that the Farmers Dollar has recovered 90 per cent of its pre War purchasing Power. That is not strictly accurate because no body s Dollar has anything like the purchasing Power it possessed twelve years ago. Nearly All classes Are receiving More dollars for what they have to sell and the net result is about Hie same. In the Case of the Farmer however this is not True he can now Purchase with his pro ducts or the Money resulting there from Only 90 per cent of what he could have purchased twelve years ago. In .1920 there was a drastic deflation of farm products. The Farmer found himself not Only receiving fewer dollars for his crops than be fore the War but he also found that with these dollars he could Only buy half As much. There was no such deflation in the Case of manufactured goods. The manufacturer did not have to sell his wares at Slaugh ter prices because in Many cases he was protected from foreign com petition. The Farmer had to sell the surplus of his great Staple crops in the open Market of the world he had to take for that surplus what the world would give him. And his Price in the Domestic Market was dragged Down to the Export level. Hence the unequal Price level which from the summer of 1921 to the Spring of 1924 threatened the Farmers of the american West with general bankruptcy. The Farmers Dollar during these four years was As 50, 60, or 70-cent Dollar As the Case might be. It is now declared to be a 90-cent Dollar in the United states and the Farmer is called upon to rejoice and be exceedingly glad yet if the press reports be True a Good Many Farmers in the amen can.

Sorcery from Montreal comes a Story about a magician named Valcourt who has been doing business in the Vicinity of re Mousel Quebec. The interesting thing about magicians or Devil worshippers is the state of mind of the communities in which they practise their Black arts. Val court found Rimouski a profitable area and seems to have made a fair living of the superstitious inclinations of the inhabitants who held him in and paid him Money to work his spells and incantations. Before people pay Money for anything they believe the thing they Are buying is. Going to be of value to them payment of Money is the. Best proof of belief and the Money paid by. The people of re Mousel to their local wizard is the proof that a belief in Devil worship existed As a reality in the Community. This is something to think about.

Sinclair have lug a shy they cannot be assured of by a correspondent Geneva july nearly a half surplus populations and in Europe Are looking to Canada the United states Mexico and South America As a place of Refuge and the e league of nations my labor Bureau will soon be charged with disposition of these multitudes. Prom Vienna comes the report hat Austria will , f the league of nations and the enter National office to heir influence to persuade the states to let Down the bars and permit White collared Aust nans enter that country within he next two years. The labor office commission sent o South America to find times for More than refugee russians s due Back shortly after visiting Argentine Brazil and. Uruguay. It 3 expected to formulate plans for placing thousands of russians now located in France Germany and the 3alkans, on. Farms and in Industry below the Equator. The possibility of establishing several thousand russian peasant Farmers in the Canadian North Wei s also under consideration. Only recently has the league of nations and the International labor office busied itself with tie surplus population problem of Europe. A along the countries desiring an out let have contended that immigration emigration was an. International rather than a Domestic the league has been regarded As the logical Central Agency for Devis some system whereby migration of populations can be carried out without Uncle sired results the Vienna chamber of labor launched the move to transplant the austrians in the United. States. It first addressed. To the Chancellor a memorandum request no him to open negotiations with a View to securing permission for the emigration in Masse of unemployed viennese to the United states. Y not temporary matter in referring to the present Situa As., regards unemployment the memorandum states that it does not consider the condition due to temporary it is attributed to the fact that under the present eco nomic system in Austria the coun try has a permanent surplus of la Bor for which the Only outlet would appear to be by mass emigration. The unemployed persons include notably the White collared class Bankers employees Metal workers. In order to relieve this situation the austrian government is to get All members of the league of nations who Are interested in the re habilitation of Austria to obtain permission from the United states for the unemployed to enter that country during the next two years failing in to other suitable countries 13 suggested. The austrian government it is planned will undertake to provide the Neces sary transportation and Jilson subsistence for the first few weeks that the emigres Are new Homes. The maintenance of families left behind also is to be assumed by the Vienna government. Should the league essay the task and be successful in dropping the bars to emigration to the United states other nations such As Italy which can easily spare a half Mil lion per year from her rapidly expanding population will look toward Geneva for a solution to the difficult question of surpluses. Japan also. Is confronted with a delicate internal situation which is being accentuated by the increasing hostility in China and is looking to Ward the league for satisfaction in her Long fight for racial which in its final analysis Means equal Opportunity in emigration As Well As Industrial development. A world Outlook via the schools there is something terrifying about an idea of world standardization but world appreciation is an other matter. It is doubtless this which the world federation of cation associations which has been sitting in Edinburgh Means in its Resolution recommending the general use of text books in. The elementary school of All rations As will serve As a foundation for the Tion of a world this is not a new idea but. The diff acuity has been to get anyone to the cat the organization now sponsoring it is a very Power fur one holding la its membership As it representatives of professional education from All the civilized nations. In putting Over its plan the association has announced that it will co operate with the educational department of the league of nations. The depth of the conviction of the association in this to be successful it must have All the intensity of religious will be the measure of its effective Ness but at least it will have. In its favor the approval of students of world affairs today at the International Institute at Williamstown now sitting or. Beradette b. Schmitt professor of hat it comes Woof and Warp of nationhood. On the other hand there is nor also the recognition of the need if the International mind. On this the Hope that there May be involve to text books which will give o All children an acquaintance with the Best that has anywhere come o such a knowledge and understanding would spell an enrich ment of life and a widening of Hori on which any nation might covet or her own. History at the University of in a discussion upon political prob lems of contemporary Europe said that exaggerated nationalism was one of the most pressing of theae problems and it could not be cured while educational institutions remained under the control of extreme nationalists. He suggested an International body to supervise the preparation of school text books especially history. But however blindly May be.
