When the details of the Beauhariiois scan- dal broke they caused Prime Minister King to confess that he had led his party into “the val- ley of humiliation." Is he headed that way zigain? The reappearance of Robert Alexander Cecil Henry as Deputy Minister of a vital dc- partment in his Government is full of possi- bilities in that direction.

Here is s trenchant thought for Education Week from an article "in the Hamilton Slim‘- liilor by Dr. G P. (iilmotir, Chancellor of Mc- .\lastei' University:

"We have jumped so far from the old classical tradition in education that it is getting a hit hard now to get a classical education. andl ilie universities are being fact-d \vith a matricu- lation problem of growing complexity‘. Still, we ore refusing ti. mzilte our schools beds of Pro- irustes, \\'lli\ll every man titust be made to fit, luuvever violent the treatment or permanent the

‘jury. _

"For all that. we are far from any of our goals in t‘illi\'1llli'll. lf l may be permitted t0 moixilizc, l would hark hzick to whzit l said in on earlier [iziragraph about desire and capacity. 'l'lie ipicsiiou of character enters in as truly as docs that of natural gift. \Ve must ziwalten :1 ri-ril desire for hard work and hard stud)‘, iii a "(l(l_\' characterized by second-hand Cllj0_\'ll'it2llf, icziiling by means of digests, and amusement -l>v itieaus of hired showmeu. The desire again, niust not be encouraged in terms of society owing this or that child an educalii>ii,_biit in terms of this or that child owing society an ultimate service. We have not tirade iuufih PW" gress at that. point yet. If in the realm 0f wealth our great problem is that an aristocracy o: nionev has‘ seldom developed the sense ot social responsibility that went with tllfi fllfl aristocracy of land; in the realm of schooling our great problem is that an education receiv- ed 0n the basis of “pay to the bearer on de- nand" may not produce as fine a strain 0i servants of manl-zind as did education born out (t a love of learning for its o\vii sake or for the sake of the learned professions. Ministcring to every man’s capacity can easily degenerate into ministering to every man's convenience. ‘It nay inflate his ego rather than draw out his self-sacrifice.”

This from the Hamilton Spectator: “Physi- cians in Prince Edward Island resent the charge that they are acting as bootleggers in giving liquor prescriptions to those “patients" who are not "sick." But as so frequently used to be said in this province, during the days of the Ontario Temperance Act, is not the solution in the doctors’ own hands? If they refused firmly to handle liquor prescriptions, the Government could not compel them to do so. Then the farci- cal situation would probably adjust itself."
