Mob violence has once more been proved to be an ugly outbreak of malice which nothing can _liis- tlfy. The Government Commission of Inquiry nt Rome, which lrivcs- tfgated the mob murder of Donate Ctirretta, who was murdered there 0n September l8. has vindicated his character. It found that, as the Fascist vlce-dlrector of Regina Coell Prison, he took personal rlsks ditrlng the German occupation lo [telp Italian political prisoners. Mnny cruel Wrongs were (lone lu Itnlp under Fascism. but inc weight of evidence adduced by this inquiry laid none of these crimes to Cai-retta. It ls all the more tin- fnrtutmbe, therefore. that; Italian nlvflfans who made tip this mob should have abused their liberty by descending to the some level of some of their more ruthless op- prcssors.-(Hamllton Spectator.)

"As ls the teacher. so Ls the school” ls an adage ac- cepted by everybody. And the calibre of the teacher attracted to the profession ls chiefly deter- mined by the salary offered.
