Up Canadian history the the association of Canadian clubs which is inclusive of All Canadian clubs across the Dominion is showing renewed in the teaching of Canadian history in Canadian schools f Nadian clubs in the past have done something toward stimulate a interest in the history of this country by offering scholar s and prizes hut now the Dominion wide association has ,.enup the question in an Effort to tackle the subject in a Funda 11 a let Ltd it i 4" n i or not n 1 4 n to not f than submitting it to any piecemeal treatment. The matter was under discussion at the annual meeting of the of Canadian clubs at Ottawa last week when the tonal Secretary or. Graham Spry presented a statement of k done Suriner the past season. Or. Spry Lias been interview o professors of history school teachers and others in the various Ovines. And a number of professors met at Ottawa and applied f to the subject. It has been decided to submit a ques Tina ire to selected professors school teachers and writers of t0 obtain certain information covering the teaching of r. Nadian history in schools from Grade one to Grade eight and in Vrh schools Normal schools and universities. The report of the National Secretary continues a i or the information requested included hours per week in the afferent grades the text books methods of teaching comparison other history taught Type of examination held prizes awarded and shown by the pupils. These questionnaires were several times re written and Cor cited and have now been prepared for the. Printer. From this Means supplemented by interviews with and memoranda Fuorn various teachers it is expected to secure a very Complete Anc thorough Survey of the whole position of teaching history in eve cry of educational institution in the Dominion. As Well it is i hoped also to ascertain the position of the teaching of Canadian history in great Britain and the United states. Africh time and considerable Effort will be required to com Slete the Survey. The amount of correspondence alone will to and the final collection of the material will require several shale d experts. The conference therefore is warned not to expect a report too quickly. The object is to make the report As thorough As possible and to base the results on documents and accurate information. This cannot he accomplished in a hurry. Tho value of such a Survey cannot be doubted and Tho Ommittee therefore recommends that this report on the inv stiga Jion of the leaching of Canadian history be adopted and that the National Council be requested to Complete the Survey. And further that this association go on record As e teaching of Canadian history and congratulating the Oana Lubs and Oiler organizations which encourage the study of a belief in the possibilities of Canada along those particular lines. But their heavy buying of Bank shares indicates firm Confidence in the general Prosperity of the country in rhe coming years. Canadians themselves should he no less confident than outsiders. The country has been working its Way through various difficulties during the past few years but there is no doubt now that it is entering a period of expansion due to the More Active exploitation of its resources. Those canadians will Benefit most who show the most Confidence and Energy in making use of the opportunities that Are open to All. The Dian cd canadianhistorybyoffcringpri7.es. W this is All very encouraging and in line with the position taken by flip free press for a number of years. It seems remark Able that it has been necessary to carry on an agitation in Canada about the teaching of Canadian history. There is no record that tie schools of the United states great Britain or France have failed to teach the history of these respective countries. There have been doubts at times of the kind of history that was being taught and of the method of presentation but there is no evidence that in the schools of these countries the teaching of the history of their own country was relegated to a secondary Posi Tion As has been the Case in Canada. There has been an improve ment Here in recent years but much yet. Remains to be done. A majority of canadians have Learned More Canadian history in the present year than they had Learned in All their life. This has Otheen the result of anything clone in an official Way but is clue to fee information to the Public in connection with the Jubilee Celebration. The Story of Canada unfolded last june. And july proved As fascinating As a novel to Large sections of the Public warmed As it was with Romance color heroism and dauntless Enterprise. It is exceedingly appropriate that the Cana Dian clubs should at this time be following up the impetus Given to the study of Canadian history. The color Romance and fascination of Canada s Story should be put into the schools. And i then placed in the schools it should be Given front rank in the list of studies. We imagine the country is ready to stand behind the educational authorities in any step they May take to bring As they do in Spain Spain is about to Call an Assem Bly or to be More exact dictator Primo de Rivera is about to Issue invitations to some 350 of his com patriots both men and women to try out the chairs in the gilded parliamentary Chambers of Madrid no one can accuse the spaniards of haste. For the last Hundred years their history has been one o revolutions and counter revolutions All diligently seeking the Boon of a Constitution to meet the needs o a nation dreaming of medieval glory amid the poverty of tin present. Primo de Rivera Himsel came to the top in one of these revolutions this Lime engineered by the military and for four years i has been Able to hold his place during this time Prosperity Lias be gun to show its shy face to. Spain. The new Assembly decree de clares that it will be inaugurate october 10 for three . It Wil be chosen by the dictator from municipal bodies and the Patriot Union and from representatives o Commerce agriculture Industry literature arts and science. It Wil work in committee being charge with the study of conditions with a View to formulating new Constitution and also will b empowered to bring in rec Mornen nations As to legislation. Thes recommendations however mus receive the approval of the and of de Rivera As indeed All the work of the Assembly. It will Only meet in full Assembly the last week of each month. The decree further says that although the members will have absolute Liberty of expression no Cju estion May be discussed More than three hours and each assemblyman is Given taut 20 minutes to speak upon a subject and 10 minutes for rebut Tal a proposal which perchance will find favor outside of Spain. The press gallery is not provided for. Instead the newspapers will receive their reports from a Bureau made up of representatives of the directorate. Apparently de Rivera will take his chances with committees and with orators but not with unsheathed pens. Course All Spain is not Tran quil Over this idea especially those organizations which for obvious or. Mcadoo decides not to be a presidential candidate from the Golden books for Oberon by Voln Gerard in the under this Tern lie Oberon and his Queen life being death to unite them and now the. Glow worm with his lantern Green alone keeps tiny watch lest Man should slight them. Only the negligent foxglove swings a Bell in Little Clamour Over the quiet grave soothing her Beauty whose wan Miracle enfranchised All but held the King her slave.

And love in idleness remembering. Still drops enchantment Laden petals on her. Though she is dead and though in death her King has i found his Lovo and kept unstained his honour. Politics about this condition. North Huron comments on the North Huron by election by several Western v Liberal newspapers show a dispose Iloa to minimize the importance of the conservative Victory and to put the sole responsibility for the loss of the seat upon the progressives. Tills is not a very intelligent or attitude looking to the future. In North Huron the liberals and progressives after winning the seat had Long been regarded As a conservative stronghold by joint and holding it in two general elections lost it in a by election by 1 split vote though the combined Liberal progressive poll was much larger than in the elections in the conservatives were de n would be difficult to de Termine the exact responsibility for the quarrel which Cost the seat no Toast it is a divided responsibility. A King the late member was Liberal progressive and it ought to have been possible to find in the Wisti Quency some successor equal for acceptable to both groups. Does not appear that any real to get together behind a suitable Compromise candidate was Flade. The liberals barged in with claim that it was their turn to be a. Representative for the rid while the progressive Camu stood on the class conscious platform to which liberals could not be expected to subscribe. Canada to affect the result of a general election they can Only win by a working understanding with progressive elements while the progressives Are still More obstinate in their refusal to recognize that they cannot get anywhere by flocking by themselves. There ought to be a lesson in the North Huron election for both Camps. Reasons party. Are not these invited to the however have putting the soft pedal on pro Lection or.

And thus they add one More to the present Day history of governmental adequate Tariff for the Protection of Industry. But he confessed that it was difficult for him to become wildly enthusiastic on this subject in View of the Small divergence be tween the different governments that had been in Power at Ottawa in dealing with it. That being so he did. Not believe in allowing it to be understood by Many thou Sands of people throughout the Dominion that a protective Tariff is the Only Plank in the conservative platform and that we Are tied hand and foot by and Are the Mere instruments and mouthpieces of those who seek the highest conceivable Tariff Wall to Advance their own personal or.

Andrew Lang who examined the Scott Cor Respondence was silent about what he knew at first hand in his life of How Lang would have gloated Over aberrations of that sort in some writers. Davidson Cook in the nineteenth goes fully into the matter. It is one thing he says for an editor to Cut or retouch the work of his contributors but quite another thing to do violence to the correspondence of of whose biography to is writing. In terms of Plain ethics it is literary immorality. Or. Cook says that either a new edition with corrected of Lockhart s life of Scott ought to he printed or else a supplementary volume devoted to the original text of the letters so Dis honestly mangled and it was not Only the letters written to himself that Lockhart garbled and mixed but the whole mass of Scott s family correspondence is under suspicion.

It is a big crop Ana a Sinue buying Canadian Bank shares the heavy buying of Canadian Bank shares by american investors which has caused a very no Tab e Rise in the Market value of Bank Stock during the past nine months no doubt partly due to the immense amount of Money in the United states at present which Hap pens to be seeking investment and to the general appreciation in the United states in the last few years of Canada As a Good Field for in vestment. At the prices which have been paid for Canadian Bank shares the american investors will get a return of 4 to 5 per cent on their Money which is a Good Deal More than they would get on Bank Stock in their own country. But the heavy run on this particular class of investment in can Ada seems to indicate also a firm Confidence in the future of business conditions in this country As Well As Confidence in the stability of our banking system. The Banks Are of course very intimately connected with the general business the country from coast to coast. And the fortunes of the Banks and the rate of dividends which they can pay depend very largely upon the Prosperity of the country. Some of the leading financial men of Canada have lately expressed the opinion that the next ten years will be a period of Prosperity and of great growth in Canada. The american investors seem to have _ the same Confidence in this country. F to accept the Bird fact their investment in mining and in in. Ugh constituencies in other development enterprises shows the insoluble dilemma John Carter in the Independent the irreconcilable conflict be tween the and the Ameri cans on the Cruiser Issue wrecked the conference. The British Long schooled in sea Power desire cruisers which can control the Commerce of the sea. With bases Strung out at intervals they need about Light cruisers. And since so Many Are is cheaper for British purposes to have ships. The americans require vessels for precisely the same tune Lions. The distances our vessels must travel on the Pacific preclude the smaller Type. Our Are All right As Fleet scouts or in the Caribbean but patrol continue to tests party St f the instead of adjusting that will stand that rate of the to meet the needs of the modern a scottish opinion on a Flag for Canada from the Inverness courier. Canada could not have chosen a better time than the present when she is celebrating her Jubilee and reviewing her past for the consideration of. Such nationally important things As her Flag and Anthem. It must be in the nature of a Surprise to most people to learn that Canada has no National Flag beyond the Union Jack. Alberta Coal has been1 brought nearer. A rate Low enough to per Mit it says should tie fixed a title the difference Between it Anil lat to which the government considers the railways Are fairly a titled. Should be met out of the ederal Treasury. It is unnecessary t the to go Over the argument in this policy. Its option has been urged As impera Ive for National safety and National Prosperity and a Clear Case for it As been presented. Now that the government has the information hat it sought and this is so Tavor ble failure on its part to take the desired action would be Inex Cus a both groups had their Way paying their gratification in this re sect by suffering defeat. This outcome is far from the in a portent event which the party newspapers represent it As being it is symptomatic of existing feeling Between liberals and pc Pessl lives in Ontario As it probably is a highly encouraging circumstance for the conservative s b parly managers Are very duty a larger cruising radius is necessary. Tactically moreover these ships Are required to serve the same functions Foi which the Battle Cruiser was originally designed. Accordingly for a Fleet action eight Inch guns Are bet Ter than six Inch especially in order to secure decisive superiority Over armed merchantmen. That is the american position. However a Cruiser with eight Inch guns can whip the Lar out of a number of cruisers with , so the British Are driven to. Take the Posi Tion that if we build More of tin Large Type they will have to follow suit in order to maintain parity thus cutting Down the total tonnage available for lighter vessels. Of the other hand for us to accept parity on the British Terras mean that we must build a great Man Small cruisers of a Type which Wil be useless to us tactically unable to operate efficiently in the Pacific and not appreciably stronger tha an armed merchantman. The dilemma is insoluble. The unconquerable will conquer from the Providence journal of course however some of the flyers of the presen Day May be our persistent Huma race will never cease from Fly in till the transit of every Ocean be comes of commonplace. At s in Canada and by canadians at All Public events abroad is the familiar red Ensign with the Union Jack in the staff Quarter and the Canadian Noat of arms on the Scarlet Banner. This Flag although the Choice of the Public has never received an offi of finance is coming West in a few weeks on a speaking tour. This is a Good time of year for or. Robb to make the trip. It will enable him to see where he gets the Money to reduce the National debt. Presumably however the trip has no connection with offsetting any criticisms of the government programme of financing which May be made in Winnipeg about the in october. Cial hag recognition successive As the National governments How thinks rates still too High the Lethbridge Herald thinks the new rate on wheat from Lethbridge o Vancouver 22 cents to Hundred or 76s Miles is too Gigli. In con Trast with the rate to fort William 25 cents for Miles. The Only conclusion that can be drawn from the rates it says is that the . Does not want to Foster the use of the Vancouver outlet for our Grain. Alberta farm ers for years paid the Peak freight rates on Grain because All our Grain had to find an Eastern outlet to Market we had hoped that with the opening of the Pacific route there would be a fair measure of Relief. It does not appear that we Are going to get what Are entitled to without a stiff fight. Mean time it the . Is losing Money transporting Grain Over the heavy main line gradients through the Rockies it should be looking for a Shorter Southern route better gradients. The Herald has been led to believe such a Routi could be result in Huron although a conservative was elected in the by election in. North Huron the Ottawa journal regards the result As having no real significance since there was practically no Public Campaign carried on by or on behalf of the conservative candidate. The fact that it was a three cornered contest and that the have countenanced it. It is at present flying above the Cana Dian houses at Washington and London. The Monument in London recently unveiled to commemorate the work done by the fathers of the confederation was draped by this Flag. Foreign artists As Weil As our own have used it to represent Canada and the people have come to accept it As they do the White Ensign of the Navy and the Blue Ensign of Australia and new zealand. The history of the Flag goes Back to incidents of old Romance. A legend has it its emblems modern Canada it was the Flag which flew Over Jacques Cartier on his Way up the St. Lawrence. It was the Flag which Cut the Breeze on the Heights where Quebec now stands. And when. Sir John Mac Donall gave the Canadian Marine service its permanent Flag this was the one which with a coat of arms adopted from the Shields of the old. Provinces of the Dominion and the Ensign was used by All Canadian ships and. Gradually gained in favor. Throughout the land. In 1921 the Meigh ii administration authorized the Canadian coat of arms which is the British Seal set behind the English and scottish Lions the French Fleur de Lys and a sprig of Maple leaves. With this standardization the Flag once More was changed and the countless Varia Tion of the arms hitherto adopted at will by Flag makers came to an end. Canadians now suggest that As the Scarlet Banner is the French element s the Union Jack the British contribution the placing of a Singu. Maple Leaf upon the Centre would Flag once and for All As Canada s own. The cast is Nadu the Flag is familiar with the Addi Tion of the More familiar Maple Leaf Canada would have a glorious and representative Flag of which a ship has run aground upon the Island of Anticosti in. The St. Law rence Channel. The fact is noted in Ibe newspapers but nobody thinks anything about it but i this ship were Hung up on an Island in Hudson Bay what a to do about it there would be in the Toronto Ottawa and Montreal newspapers after All or. Cosgrave need not be so exercised about a majority of five or so. Governments have car ried on with less than that if with some discomfort at times and Given Good services to their countries. If Only some Lake would Rise up and Wash out about 500 Miles of a certain railway How Happy it would make some folks very rapidly alcohol on alcohol evaporates your hand will be chilled. Much More Swift is the evaporation of anhydrous ammonia. So Quick is this process that he liquid perceptibly Falls in tempera Ture moment by moment. This evaporation is swifter still when an exhausting pump reduces the atmospheric pressure. Here motive Power is in demand. Fortunately at comparatively moderate pres sure the ammonia vapor is readily reduced to a liquid once More. Here again motive Power is required. The chill of evaporation is borne through coils of piping to a tank filled with re Mains liquid at temperatures below the freezing Point of water. As the second half of its recurrent task the electric Rno Tor or the Gas engine withdraws the ammonia vapor to a chamber of its own where it is compressed again to liquidity and returned to its original Reservoir. The heat generated in this com pression is carried off by water flowing Over the coiled piping.
