.\lr. Pierre (Jautliicr. .\l.l'., for Purtncuf, has been infrlrlncrl in the House of Commons that the present population, as officially estimated, is 11,100,000, quite a respectable number, all things considered. Far more than half of the total live in the old provinces of Ontario and Quebec, the furllier lczldiilg with 3,690,000 and the latter having 3,096,000. These are Dominion Bureau of Statistics figures, as for last year, and there have been increases since. Saskatche- wan, by the same estimate, has 931.000 people, and Alberta is fourth with 772,000. British Columbia is fifth with 750,000, and then Man- itoba with 711.000, Nova Scotia has 537.000; New Brunswick. 435,000 and Prince Edward Island 92,000. The Northwest Territories have

a population of 10,000" and the Yukon Territory

4,000. Ill it it Saint John, N.B., has been having its own police troubles during the past eighteen months and apparently they are not over yet. The Com- mon Council, the equivalent of our City Coun- cil, recently adopted a recommendation of its personnel committee for reinstatement of E. M. Slader as chief. Accusations against his ef- ficiency and character made and acted upon by the previous Mayor were found to be without foundation. The council decided to request the resignation of the present chief, D. P. Guptill, who succeeded Mr. Slader almost a years ago. He, however, declined to resign, as he had given up his position on the R.C.M.P. force, in order to take the new job; and so the Common Council has dismissed him. The next move is for u-Chiof Guptill. U Q I Mr. G. G. McGeer, M.P., succeeds in keep- ing in the limelight, notwithstanding Prime aliilisiilr King's well intentioned efforts to sup- press him. At a service clllb function in Mon- treal the other day, Mr. McCeer criticised the failure of the Government to make good in so- cial legislation. After looking abroad and see- ing what was being accomplished in spite of destructive activities, “we might well ask why we in Canada cannot go in for the constructive programme we need.” Mr, McGeer consider- ed that the relief hill of 5o million dollars was not large in view of the fact that the national income ivas about 50o million dollars. He ad- vocated changes in the money system along the lilies suggested in the report of the Macmillan Commission together wit-h a scheme to stabilize currency. A working example, he thought, was to be found in the British set-up with its complete and effective system of managed cur- rency through which the value of the pound sterling was maintained. There, also, there ex- isted complete co-rlperatioit with the merchant banks to further the reform programme tinder- taken. If Canada followed suit the answer to the question, "Where are you going to get the money?" fur racial lqgislation. public works construction and so forth would be answered,"

A COMMON- SENSE SCHOOL. STUDIES

Sllu-Pennit another i on ""5 “IP10. Some careless reader might. think that the Guardian's Friday editorial, "Why Latin?" w“ a" Rfilllﬂlﬂnt- ﬂsainsi, m? farther’: plea for eliminating certain uaelegg Bﬂblevtis from the common-school course. But. I” sfdent Butler of Columbia University and the New York Sun were dealing with m; more advanced ETECIBS,—“B. young lady in a Princeton High School," and “those following scientific car- eers." To impose such study on pu- pils in our common schods la not like “suiting money away In a sav- ings bank" but rather like pouring milk fnbo a pail full of holes.

Again, while Latin has entered into the structure of the romance languages. as ‘Butler said, and therefore will help those going on tn the study of them. m force it upon our younger pupils is '00 take the "romance" out. of school and study. and make it. difficult to re- cantui-e it in later life, The ma- jorlty never do moover It.

medical officer of a Sydney hospital, collided with n man 1n the surf. Hts neck was injured, but only a alight. stiffness was felt. An x-ray of the neck was taken and, while waiting for the plates to be dev- eloped, the doctor continued his work. While he was assisting with the x-ray machine the doctor's head made contact between the aide of the transmitting valve and the steel casing of the momma,- Australian Prom Bureau.

Cathedral with ~ the jetty-built. apartment house. does not touch the condition of the average citi- zen who will never be able to build the cathedral and does not. want an apartment-house. But he would dearly like an attractive and 00m- fortable cottage which utdeed ought. to be Mthtn his reach. Instead, having wasted his time and energy during school years on Cathedral foundations, he Ls driven for lack of opportunity to rear a miserable shack for his mind to live In all the test. of his life.

Lastly, the plea. of the farmers and their supporters is not for a “dollars-and-cents" course as con- trasted with cultural studies. Their real objection 1s that the present course 1s not cultural tn any sense of the word. It makes real culture impossible. It fails to give access to any foreign literature, and it. prevents mastery of our own. Prom private correspondence as well as from letters 1x1 the press it is evi- dent. that. a. large body of profes- sional thought supports the farm- ers’ plea for a common-sense curri- culum.

Let the educational authorities give a chance to our youth through the medium of our nattve tongue to explore the world 1n which we live, its structure, processes, devel- opment, resources, and trace the progress of the society to which we belong, its achievements 1n me- chanical invention, economlc enter- prise, political organization, and artistic and literary expression. as -an aid to making the most of their lives, and giving their fullest con- il-ibutlon to the community. That would, be real culture. A poor smattering of a foreign language, all forgotten tn a few years. is a sorry substitute for the reality- and the farmers and wage-earners of today know it. They will soon open the eyes of parsona, priests, pedagogues. professional politic- fans, and piutocrata. sham culture has had 1m day!

are ant and fusion-making Imperial Conference will take place tn Lon- don, and one of the mouientous subjects that will be discussed by the wpmsentatives of the various Domlnions will be that of defence in the event of any future war, and it 1s certain that. the Govern- ment of the Unit/ed Kingdom will ask the Domltlions ‘ho contribute to the‘ upkeep of certain armed forces 0f the Empire.

According to reliable reports, l there is a movement, on tom to revive a plan for the defence of the Empire as outlined by the late Lord Jellfcoe in 1919. who re- cnnmeindedl that. each Dominion should contribute a share of thel costs and expenses of the u-pkeeip of the forces for the defence of the Emlplre plupol-rlotlate as to popula- tion and to value of its foreign trade. Thus, the rate of contribu- tions would be: United Kingdom. 74.12 per cent: Australia, 7.74 per 0811i; New Zealimd, 2.02 per cent; South Africa. 8.02, per cent; and the Dohmlruon of Canada, 12.30 per cent.

Canada has sought to take full advantage of her goegraphlgg! position as an moment. to lower her shat-e 0r contribution to any defence plan of the British Empire, and that really explains the itous negotiations between United stains, G-reat Britain, and the Dominion or Canada. which incidentally may lead to a union of all defence forces of the British Empire and the United States of America. ‘
