TECHNICAL TRAINING

The rcport of the Technical Edu- cation Branch of the Department of Labor for the fiscal year cnded 315'. March last has just been re-

ceived. In order to further pro-

- . . | vtde for the [Jromottotl of vocation-

al cdtlcntion lu Canada, an Act, nttthorizltig an annual appropria- tion of $750,000 over a period of fifteen years from which payments may be made to the governments of the various provinces, passed during the 1931 session of the Dominion Parliament. In con- nection with its administration, the Act empowers the Governor in Council to make regulations with respect to various matters, includ- ing the definition which is to be applied to the expression “voca- tional education," the particular ‘types and grades of vocational education to which assistance may be granted, and the extent to which assistance may be made available towards the continuance of vocational education work, or for lands, buildings, equipment and furnishings. These agreements had not been completed with the var- fous provinces when the fiscal year closed. The work in Prince Edward Island was practically the same as for the previous year, but

" the enrolment in technical classes

increased from 1,141 to 1,171. The co-operation of the Womens Insti- tute with the supervisors of the schools continues to have a benefi- cial effect in the various commun-

ities. The province of- New Bruns-

wick reported nn increase in the tztal enrolment in day classes from 1,483 to 1,535 but in evening classes there was a decrease from 2,004 to 1,638. In Nova Scotio several mun- icipalities were forced by economic conditions to curtail expenditures during the past year, but all ser- vices previously maintained are to be resumed at the earliest possible moment. The total number of stu- dents enrolled ln the evening tech- nical and coal mining classes is 2.573 as compared with 2,624 for the previous year.

FIRST THINGS FIRST

Qpeaking recently at a. confer- ence of universities in New York, ‘It/Ir. Alfred Noyes, the British poet. placed special emphasis in spirit- ual values in educational work, his main thesis being that the attrac- tion of material things and the em- phasis laid on scientific research have tended to retard spiritual vi- IIOII and progress.

"We have followed the road of jinductivo mastm," said Mr. Noyes, “rightly enough for ccrtain tem- poral purpnscs, and devoted our- selves to analytical methods, for- getting that the lntcllcct and spirit o! man have other facul- ties. llOlllfll‘ and more profound, ntorc csscntinl in n full lifc than anything that. inductive rcnsun ‘can give us. frtcultlcs that are Qoncernt-d, not. vtith the tempor- ‘nl, but the ctcrnnl. 'l‘l:c analytical flpeclallst, in cvcry department of thought, has been lending the ‘world along o tlimitiirzhiug road, which eventually runs out luio nothingncss. Scivncc has il1‘(‘0I‘ilP< Jished marvcis for thc material comfort of mankind, but l: has been divorced from philosophy and it has misled lhc world by suggesting in dlrcct defizuicn cf its own mnxims that the grculcr values can be {reduced by the less.“

BUTLEIFS WARNING

Dr. Nicholas bfurrny Butler, prMidcnt of Columbia University and outspoken Republican, minccs no words in the sprcirtl article hc cwptrlbutcd to the United Press y rtcrdny, discussing the interna- l. tl d:b'. situation.

[a1 war debts." It is assumed, the INew York educator explains, that because these are debts due, on

their face, to the Government oi’ ‘the United States, the people of ithe United States would profit by ' their payment and would be reliev- cd of the necessity of taxing them- selves tomake good the sums lcmt if the debts were not paid. These statements are true in form, but not in fact, Dr. Butler argues, ad- ding that every day this debt ques- tion remains unsettled, the difficui- ty of recovering from the depres- sion in the United States is increas- ed, and every farmer and every other person and corporation is made to carry new and heavy bur- dens and to suffer new and heavy losses. 1

MR. BEATTIPS POSITION

President Bealty of the Canadian Pacific Railway has taken strong objection ‘to the compulsory cooper- ation features of the Government's railway Bill. Ho protested specially against the proposed "arbitral tri- bunal" with mandatory powers over both ralways for co-operaton and the checking of extravagant rivalry. He says that the C. P. R. favors o0- operation. but. that it cannot agree to surrender any part of its admin- istrative powers to an arbitral tri- bunal, unless the Government will guarantee its bondholders and share- holders atzainst loss. He proposes in the alternative an amalgamated ad- minstration of the C. P. R. atTS C. N. R. and i pooling of their revenues. Asked if this joint man- agement mlght not lead ultimately to the complete amalgamation of the two systems, he admitted frankly that it probably would. Senator Mcighm suggested that this was the very result the Government wished to avoid. Such a fusion. he thought, might create a huge rail- way monopoly which would be a dominating force in the politics of the country.

The problem is conceded to be an exceedingly difficult one. The elim- ination of oxtravagant rivalry is rial to the solvency of both Sys- tems. Unified management would ba the moat u-nomlcal policy, but s. large proportion of the people are unbehding in their opposition to amalgamation. The Government measure contemplates a middle course between amalgamation and complete separation.

Grand Juries have repeatedly emphasized the need of legislation making it compulsory to carry lights, on all vehicles at night. At the opening of the November Term of the Supreme Court in Summer- sldc on Tuesday a further recom- mendation was made by the Grand Jury in this connection. This is a matter which has the support of the press and, we believe, of a. 1918c number of our people. It is I true that some years ago, when an effort was made to introduce legis- lation of this kind, it. was opposed on the ground of expense; but; mu

‘BACK TO THE METHODS OF ‘THE OLD FAMILY PHYSICIAN

There has been such a-n advance in laboratory methods-testing urine, blood, spinal fluid, the abil- ’ity of the liver to do its work, the i actual reserve power of the bearti ‘and so forth-that there is a great ‘ danger that the doctor will be treat- ing the disease instead of the pat- lent.

There isn't any question but that all these new methods of investiga- tion have been of great help in find- ing out the causes of certain symp- toms, and thus enabling the doctor to treat them properly. However you can readily see that with these tests a physician might depend ‘upon them too much and not give the patient the personal attention he needs, and that he looks for, from his physician.

“While there have been outstand- lng discoveries in the laboratory that are saving thousands of lives-

to see Mr. King-in opposition — gaming out firmly for unemplill" ment insurance which he did noth- ing whatever to bring about in his prosperous years of power. So no-,

insulin for diabetes, liver for per- nlcious anaemia, the cure of yellow fever and malarim-nevertheless in one field of medicine there has bccn a tremendous advance and it has not been brought about by the laboratory but by the personal con- tact of physician and patient.

I refer to the treatment of men- tal disease. In order to correct or cure a tucutal ailment the physician gets the confidence of the patient and learns about his occupation, his

home, his recreations, his fears, emotions and fancies.

This method has met with such success that it has brought home to the general practiclloner its great". value in other than mental ail- ments, and in preventing mental ailments in developing from phy- sical ailments "The physician who carries his patient through serious physical illness, without allowing any mental disturbance, or who successfully helps his neurotic (nervous) patients to understand. themselves is using the same meth- ods as the successful mental spe- cialist."

In other words the physician of to-day, although taking advantage of the X ray, and all the other lab- oratory methods of finding out the cause of an illness, is going back to tltc methods of the old family phy- sician whereby, when he enters the sick room, the patients face bright- ens, and recovery ls on the way be- cause of his confidence in the phy- sicians ability, and interest in his‘ pnrlictilar case.

Scott’s Manuscript Lost

tMontreal Gazette)

The disappearance of a. manu- script from the Sir Walter Scott collection housed in the Avery Li- brary of Columbia University has produced a sensation in literary circles, the evidence showing that this was one of the boldest and most carefully planned thefts ever carried out, the perpetrator having taken advantage of the Scott cen- tcnary celebration for his coup. It appears that whoever was respon- sible went about the work with an ingenuity worthy b! a. better cause, and in a way that strongly suggests the astute manipulation of the professional hand. The mis- sing volume was one of three man- uscripts purchased by the late J. Pier-pout Morgan for his own pri- vatc library, the triology compris- ing the original documents of "Guy Mannefing," "Ivanhoe" and "Wa- verly," these being loaned as an exhibit. to the Columbia faculty. And although the precious relics were-locked in a glass case and placed in a. brilliantly lighted room. the first named volume was stolen, the other two being left untouched. The loss was discover- ed a. month ago, but for reasons conside-"ed justifiable and in hope the manuscript might be returned. the affair was kept secret. Now, however, the police throughout the United States and in Europe have been notified and are in search of the miscreants who are supposed ‘.0 be holding it for ransom.

‘I'm widespread interest occas- ioned by this startling episode is likely to be accompanied by some expression of surprise on the part of onlookers as to the popriety of allowing relics of this sort to be transfcrtcd to the United states, or anywhere otttsidc the land to which it would seem they properly belong.
