Sir William MacDonald, who is

referred to in the Gazette adver- tisement as “Canada's Greatest

Benefncior," was born in 1831 at

Glenaladnle, this Province, thc son

of the late Donald MacDonald, president of the Legislative Council

of Prince Edward Island, and Ann

Matilda Bracken. He was criucaigd

at the Central Acaclcmy, Charlotte-

town, and in 1854 began business as

n commission merchant in Montreal. He later became a tobacco manu-

facturer, and acquired n very large fortune. He was rt generous bene- factor of McGill University. and the Ontario Agricultural College, and ljmdld and endowed the Macdonald 'Agricultural College at Ste. Anne

de Bellevue, Quebec. Ho died, un-

married, at Montreal on June 9, 1917. For many years he was

chancellor of McGill University. He was created a knight bachellor in 1898. ' It was one of the ambitions of Sir

William to encourage in his native province the consolidation of rural Ichools. To this end he financed

lchool at Mt. Herbert. It was hoped that this experiment would result ln the establishment of large

graded schools in other sections; but local opposition defeated Sir William! for sighted plane in ,this

connection. More and moto, how- ever, the need of consolidation is

becoming apparent. What -might long ago have been achieved -with the financial assistance of Cenadfs greatest educational benefactor is etfll regarded U ln ideal objective, gqyg-dg wihch 111113110 CPIHIGD Il

CANADA AT LONDON

On Wednesday the Toronto

Globe predicted: “Although he re- presents a country relatively small

in population, Mr. Bennetts views will command respect at the World Economic Conference . A forceful

presentation of Canadafs policies may be expected, with strong in- sistence on her, right to attention as a member of the group of major

trading nations."

The Globe's prediction was fully

realized on Thursday, when the Canadian Prime Minister wok the centre of the stage at the Confer- ence and in a forceful address call-

ed for concerted lntemationnl ae-

tion to raise wholesale prices, stab- ilize exchanges, restore im interna- tional monetary standard. and clear

world trade channels. He warned against the danger of "over-cau- tionz" warned that to achieve re- sults there must be action as well

as speech-making; and in conclu- sion pledged Canada’s co-operation to maintain the value of the dollar on a stabilized basis in Len-

don and New York.

The Canadian Government agreed

that for the period of the Confer-

ence tho tariff truce should be maintained, said the Prime Minis- ter. But the Conference could not

be content with a truce perpetuat- ing existing conditions. The United states' proposal - that all nations should adhere to the truce-should not be an end in itself but purely provisional and superseded within the next few weeks by a definite programme of reductions in tariff levels.

Yesterday the Conference, having concluded the preliminary speech-

making, got down to business. Hero again Premier Bennett may be ex- pected to distinguish himself, and while safeguarding Cahada's inter-

ests in every way, to co-ctpernte promptly and effectively in any measures calculated to restore

world economic security.

LLOYD GEORGE

A rather uncomplimentary port- rait of Mr. Lloyd Ge0rge, written It the time when he was Prime Min-

ister or Great Britain but publish-

ed only recently, is drawn by Mr. J. M. Keynes, noted British econ-

.rh-.i.:t. Mr. Keynes calls Lloyd George “the Welsh witch," and, while rendering tribute to his im- mense Labours during the Peace

Conference, ,points out that his policy lacked "permanent principle, tenacity, fierce indignation, hon- esty, loyal leadershifp;" and that in

his company there'was a "favour of iinnl purposelessness, inner irre- sponsibility, existence outside or

away from our Saxon good and evil."

His final sununing up is as follows:

“Lloyd George is rooted in nothing; he is void and without content: he lives and feeds on his immediate

surroundings; he is an instrument and it player at the same time which plays on the company'n||d is played on by them too; he is a prism. as I have heard him describ- ed. which collects light and distorts it and is most brilliant if the light

comes from many quarters at once; a vampire and a medium in one."

EDITORIAL NOTES

The canadian Co-operative Wool

Growers' Association reports that the tide has turned for the wool

growers cf Canada. The Association

says: "Last year wool values prob- ably hit bottom, but despite these law prices buyers were scarce and it was only with the greatest dif-

ficulty that some growers were able to dispose of their 1932 clip. Now. like other farm commodities, wool has started to come back. Prices

have advanced sharply and there arc indications that the rise may be continued. The country is again flooded with' buyers glad to get hold of Canadian wool at twice thc price

||0TES BY THE WAY

l’Zct long ago A Dlx 110|!! ill!

was openly scouted as a demoralls- ing proposal for the workers and na economically unacceptable for in- dustry. Today a six-hour day is re- garded by most manufacturers not only as feasible. but as likely to im- prove employment, according to A questionnaire sent out by 00111211 University to 1200 industrial plants. They felt that drastic reorganization was necessary to eliminate the bus- iness cycle, stabilize employment and give labor adequate purchasing power. Prominent ln the suggestions was the need for a minlnium wage which would prevent unscrupulous employers from exploiting workers. hxsistence also was voiced on the necessity of shaping new legislation affecting hours of labor so that it would not cause hardship upon any one industry or group.

A writer in the Atlantic Month-

ly says; “I have come increasing- ly to believe that the old-fashioned Sunday is the but device ever ev- olved for restoring poise and judg- ment to a fidgety world. The de- cline of the old-fashioned Sunday is an event still so recent that it needs little recounting. When the first golfer discovered that he could play 18 holes on the Befdbath and still not be struck by lightning, when the first druggist found he could sell ice cream sodas between Set- urdsyand Monday without a. frown from his leading patrons, Sunday as a day of universal rest was judg- ed to be obsolete. Like melting snow its customs and rigidities disappear- ed ina .single decade and during the next 20 high-pitched years they were scarcely missed. Sooner or later, however, the world may be brought to realize that the old- fashioned Sunday was not a. men rustic survival from early calvinism or a tribal rite of the ancient He- brews, but was a, social check-valve developed by centuries of human experience, and that a nervous. high-strung society which has sud- denly abolished it will rue its loss. The old-fashioned Sunday, in short, was one of natures regulations, checking the tempo of life and rc- adjustig it every seven days.

'A widespread movement for link-

ing Germans outslde the Father- land with those at home was given impetus at 9. gathering at Passau, sponsored by the Association for Gerinanism Abroad. Dr. Steinacher leader of the Association, emphas- ized the duty of Germans within the Reich to lend more and more material support to the “third of the German people now beyond the protection of the borders of national Germany. The purpose of the association is “the preservation, solidlflcatlon and strengthening of German people on both sides of the German borders." He declared Germans abroad must bear equal right and equal duty, as "co-oper- ators in the nation of the future." The associations appeal is shown by the fact that subscriptions which the gathering inaugurated to hell! Germans outside the Father- land was _heeded by contributions of 2000 marks each from President von Hindenburg and Chancellor Adolf Hitler. The total amount rais- ed, however, at the meeting, was only 36,000 marks, about $10,000.

Araki, Japanese War Minister,

says of George Bemard Shaw: "He talked of the philosophy of earth- CIUBKGS. but he has never experienc- ed an earthquake. I greatly regret dming 1115 €i8hiy-Odd years of life he has not received an earthquake shock. An earthquake shock is no surface affair; it comes from the depths of the earth. It is regret- table that I could not hear his earthquake philosophy based upon actual experience. Rather wistfully, U16 Keneral adds: “An earthquake happened just* before Mr. Shaw; arrival in Japan.

The theist position has been well

stated by a modern scientist who says: "Wli=.\rever we see an acl, performed by another correspond. ing to our own gift of causation, dir ection and control of things, we instinctively attribute to him the same sort of consciousness that we recognise in ourselves. I deem it as asburd and illogical to affirm that there is no place in nature for God as it would be to assert that there is no‘plnce in man's body for his conscious mind."

Guest of honor at n for-¢p¢||

luncheon given by newspapermen, Sir Eric Drummond, retiring sec- retary-General of the league of Nii- tionl. laid down the following doctrine learned from 13 years ex- perience on head ol the Ieague's secretariat: 1.

HOW GDOD HEALTH AFFECTS YOU

A University professor was ap-

pointed to the stat! of a large or- ganization which had many travel- lers all over the world. He was ln- structed to trace the history of these travellers and learn why some promising men did good work for a while, then gradually dropped out or were asked to drop out of the organization.

Some of the reasons for the fail-

ure to "make good" were illnesses of loved ones, domestic troubles, and financial worries, but the, most fre- quent cause of failure was ill health.

Walter B. Pitkin, Columbia Uni-

versity, suggests that you study all the persons you know. Check up on their careers and on their health. Then notice their general behaviour.

A man who scores close to 100 per

cent in a medical examination will possess the following characteristics of high health.

1. He eats almost any kind of

food with enjoyment, and digests lt easily.

2. He is not troubled with con-

stipstion.

3. I-lis heart endures Prolonged exertion éasily. 4. His muscles are firm. hi! Walk

vigorous, and his posture erect.

5. He breathes deeply, and does

extra work easily. `

6. He recovers quickly from ln-

jurles and infections.

7. He recovers quickly from emo-

tional shocks such as fears, worries, rages, and does not suffer prolong- ed after-effects.

8. I-le readily forms proper habits as to eating, sleeping, workin! _Bild exercise. but he can endure any up- set in these habits without much trouble.

9. He has good mental and phy-

sical control. »

How many people could measure

up to this standard of perfect health? -

The figures are not really avail-

able but there would not be many.

The United States Burzeon Gen-

eral has found that of 1000 men in the military age group who have been examined for admission to the Navy and Marine Corps, no fewer than 468 had defects which were serious enough to be entered on the records, though not serious enough to cause rejection. Thus small de- fects in vision, bad teeth, -partial deafness were not recorded. _If then nearly half the men in the prime of life show defects what can one expect from the country at large?

Mr. Pitkin tells us that almost

/everybody whose health is above the average shows it in his general en- joyment of life, enjoyment of work or play, his ability tc adjust himself to circumstances good or bad, his ability to get along with other p80- ple.

It might be well if we all "ex-

ami-ned’ ’ourselves to find Out h0W we would measure up fi”0m thi? above standpoint.

Champlain’s Astrolabe

(Ottawa Journal)

On this page the other day Mr.

Fred williams, who writes brightly and informatively on many Sub.i€C'T»5 of historical interest, told of Cham- plaln's loss of his a5tr0l1ib€ in 8 voyage up the Ottawa river 320 years ago, of its discovery in 1567 by a Renfrew County farmer, and its sale to a United States collector.

Some further information on this

instrument now is available. It was acquired in 1901 by Samuel V. Hoff- man. of New York, and it was still in his possession a few years ago. In 1808 Mr. Hoffman agreed to lend it to Dr. Doughty, the Dominion Archivist, for the tercentenary cel- ebration in Quebec, but Dr. Doughty feared for its safety under such cir- cumstances and regretfully declined the offer. The Archivist has hopes that eventually this unique souvenir of the great explorer will become the property of the Dominion of Canada and have an honored place in the Archives, where it belongs.

The astrolabe was the primitive

instrument by which navigators and explorers took obsevations of the heavenly bodies, and its origin goes back thousands of years. some years ago Mr. Charles Macnamara of Arnprivr wrote an article for "Field Naturalist"-a copy of which has been preserved by Mrs. Agnes Til- ley,-secretary of the Ottawa Indus- trial and Publicity committee- eg- plaining the use of the astrolabe, and relating in some detail the his. tory of the one which Champlain lost. "Essentially," he says, "the astmlabe consisted of a graduated circle across the diameter of which was a movable bar pivcted at the centre. In use the instrument was hung plumb, and the body who" gy- time it was desired' to ascertain

The Lure Of Libraries

A Lmnsnisu onsenvns ms nn/innas (L_ M. Dickson in The Bookman)

The lay reader has cometo se-

lect a book at the public library. He has read but little, and now, other diversions grown stale or with an excess of spare time on his hands, the urge to read comes over him, and he prepares to select a book- orie from hundreds of thousands.

This casual reader wanders alm-

lessly from stall to stall, not know- ing what he wants, not knowing where to find that which might interest him. He is plagued by n seeming confusion of books. of end- less titles, which ho scans rapidly, unseeingly. A name appeals to him, hp takes the book from the shelf and flits over e. few pages, reading only enough to convince him that the book is worthless. uninteresting and a waste of time.

Another one is rejected like its

predecessor. Up and down, row after row, shelf after shelf, this flighty, this irresponsible dabbler goes with growing irritation.

He is not n connoisseur. Ho is not

looking for something rare or some- thing new. Neither does he count the old masters of literature, or the modem masters. or even the mcd- em medlocritles, his friends.

He is lost and is searching for

something to divert him for the moment, for something to lift his mind from the tedium of humdrum things, to transport him, no matter the vehicle, for a short while to a new atmosphere, and to make his life and hopes coincide with and partake of the lives of other more wonderful people than himself. Eventually by random. choice he finds his one among thousands; a true with 'rt lurid title, rr true with action in the first sentence, written in short, crisp phraseology, easy to read and by an unknown author. Ho is satisfied.

Next come the insatiable reader

of Western stores; the super-slouth devotee: the gangster and the crime tale victim: the imaginative roamer of the frozen North; the land-tied sailor; and the sex story addict. Each one of these comes with a fixed purpose. 1-le must have another detective story, or another sea. story, and his steps lead une!- ringly to the section where the greatest abundance of his partic- ular mental food is stored.

This type of reader leads all

others in number, and swells the library circulation figures amazing- ly. They aio the ones who deplete library shelves, who crowd library halls and form queues at the ex- change counters. 'Ilhey read vorac- iously as long as the supply fs maintained, and the appetite re- mains, and tl-iey~are satisfied.

was sighted along the bar. the angle above the horizon being read on a scale at the edge of the circle." In the fine statue of Cham- plain on Parliament 1-lill an astrol- abe is held in his hand.

It was in a portage to get around

the succession of rapids above Por- tage du Fort that the astroiabc was lost. Mr. Macnamara thinks Cham- plain was carrying it himself through the dense bush of' those days. That was in 1613. and the story thereupon jumps 254 years to 1867 and a day when Edward George Lee, then a lad of fourteen, was helping his father clear land for Captain Overman of the "Jason Gould." the Ottawa Forwarding companys steamboat on Muskrat Lake. The land was on the second concession of Ross Township near Cobden, just below Green Lake. The boy hitched his ox team in an old red pine log, and where it had rested he picked up "a round yel- low thing nine or ten inches across." It was Champlain’s astrolabe, un- touched by human hand for more than two and one-half centuries.

Captain Overman came along and Look the instrument away. He gave it to R.. W. Cassels, of Toronto, president of the Ottawa Forward- U18 Company, and in 1901 it wu permitted to leave the country. This priceless relic of early canada was not valued until it had been lost to the Dominion.

Slavery

(Vancouver Province)

In England, this year, they are

celebrating the hundredth anni- versary of the abolition of slavery in the Empire and are remembering that it is just a century since Wil- berforoe passed away. For a hun- dred years before Wilberforce, the Quakers had. been hammering at the iniquity of slavery, but seem- ingly were not making much pro- gress. They had, however, made converts here and there. In 1772, Lord Mansfield gave his famous judgment pronouncing slavery il- legal in England, and about the same time Rev. James Ramsay is- sued the first of his pamphlets de- nouncng -the institution. Perhaps it was the Mansfield judgment and perhaps it was the Ramsay pamph- lets, but something induced the vice-chancellor of Cambridge to set slavery as a subject for a prize essay. A young student, Thomas Clarkson, who had intended to en- ter the church, wrote the essay and won the prize and became so inter- ested ln the subject that he aban- doned his clerical career and de- voted himself to the war on slav- ery. Clarkson and Ramsay inter- ested Wilberforce, and Wilbcrforce, who was a great friend of the younger Pitt, interested Pitt and Fox and Burke.

Wllberforce nrst took up his cam-

paign against the slave trade in 1788 and toiled at its for nineteen

as Britain did, and Bweden, Hol- land, France and Spain followed. Portugal, which was heavily inter- ested in the traffic, held out until 1830.

Poor health forced Wilberforce to

give up his campaign against slav- ery in 1825, but his colleagues car- ried on under the leadership of Sir Powell Buxton, and the great Liber- ator learned three days before his death on July 29, 1883, that the Aboliton Bill had passed its second reading. The bill became law in August and Parliament voted £20,- 000,000 to compensate owners for the slaves who were released. Ac- tion against slavery had been taken in Canada many years before. In- fluenced by Sir John Graves Sim- coe, the govenror, the first Legis- lature of Upper Canada at its .sec- ond session in 1783 had passed an act forbidding the importation of slaves into the colony, limiting the time during which a slave could be bound to nine years and providing that all children born in slavery should become free on attaining the age of twenty-one.

The slave trade, whichlnsled for

250 years before it was abolished, gave rise to a tremendous amount of bloodshed and suffering. It is estimated that altogether about nine million blacks were wrenched from their African homes and transported to America and that two or three lives were sacrificed for every black that reached the plan- tations. Slavcry itself, for all the work of Wilberfcrce and the other abolitioniste, has not, unhappily, been entirely abolished yet. There

are yet, it is estimated, five mi -
