While other c_allings_ are offering higher wages even in this province and while there _is a continuous call from the western provinces for teachers at much higher salaries than are paid here our teachers cannot be blamed for the course they are taking. _ _ _ ~

the government allowance to teachers has reached its limit. ».~ Already the govern- ment is paying very_much more per pupil than any other province in Canada, Whlle the cost of education per pupil is much lower here than elsewhere. The govern-

have agreed among themselves that they must receive higher salaries than they are now receiving or abandon the profession here. They cannot be blamedfor this. Sa- laries in other callingshave been increased to keep pace with the increased cost of liv- ing; many school districts did very well last year, the aggregate increase i_n supple- ments for the whole province being over $4,000. This year it will be necessary to do veryimuch better than this if our schools

_age to fill the place they are intended to

The position taken by the Teachers’

Union, as we understand it, is that their services are worth more than they are being paid at present and that if they are not given a reasonable increase- they will take up some other business or go else- where to teach. 1

The school districts. also have their

rights. They have the right to expect and to demand service that will be commensu- rate with the salary they pay. If they pay a first class workman’s wage they will ex- pect first class work and not doubt supple- ments will be voted on this principle. The best schools will vote sufficient supplement to secure the best teachers and, this~ done, we have no doubt best teachers will be forthcoming.

We trust that at the meetings about to

be held full provision will be made to en- sure the maintenance of the highest pos- sible standard. This can be done only by voting such supplements as will induce good teachers to accept the position.

BLIND SOLDIERS' IIOSTEL

All _

We are in receipt of the third annual

report of St. Dunstan’s Hostel for blinded soldiers and sailors, just issued by the Blinded Soldiers and Sailors’ Care Commit- tee of which Sir Arthur Pearson, Bart., is ahairman. _

The work done in this institution is

,perhaps the most wonderful yet -done for

the soldiers. To quote from the report “it is a place full of wonders-the wonders of tragedy turned to joyful content, of help- lessness turned to capability, of 'coura- geous resolution in the conquest of appar- ently overwhelming difficulties, of daunt- less determination and of truest heroism.”

Of all the wounds and disablements re-

ceived in battle apart from the wrecking of either physical or mental health or both, blindness might ordinarily be regarded as

the worst,tha,_t could hapgen. Yet even this terrible affliction has een veeiy large- ly overcome at St. Dunstan’s. en are

tai;ght_ trades by which they become sel sustaining; they are given hope and courage and inspiration to begin againto fightithe battle of life. According to the report the men “are “taught to be blind,” to make their blindness the normal condi- tion and “to keep on keeping on” in that condition. The soldier, to begin with, is a hero". He had proved this on°the field of battle and while life. remains he remains a

-PARIS AS A PRIZE

A

Paris is the chief capital of civilization

within striking distance of the Germans. They wanted it badly in 1914, and they want it worse now. Not for stragetic reasons, but for political reasons. The capture of Paris would not, in reality, bring the Germans very appreciably nearer-to' victory than anything else they could achieve on the western front. 1 _ . ' Success in the north, with the capture of the Channel ports, would mean much to the militarists and the commercialists. But it wouldn’t`look half so much like victory to the mass of the German people as the taking of Paris, the heart of France. And, when the tide is turned and in defeat Ger- many is forced to relinquish her conquests, as her leaders probably admit to themselves she will be, the .temporary possession of the Channel ports would not remain long in memory as a German victory, but the fall of Paris would stand as a testimony to the might of German arms. _ _

Paris was the glittering goal for which

the Germans strove in the first drive of 1914, ignoring all else. The road to Calais was less obstructed. But they passed by the opening and headed for the capital of France, returning toward the Channel ports only when they had been hurled back from Paris and definitely blocked in their ambition. And it is the same this year. The offensive of_ March was started in the direction of Paris, and was later pointed toward the coast when the defence in front of Paris stopped progress there. Now, a supreme attempt to reach Paris over _the shortest route is under way, the advanta- ges gained weeks ago in the direction of Dunkirk being allowed to rest.

To ensure the great-estpolitical effect

should the venture. succeed, the Crown Prince is directing the attack. If the Kais- er’s monstrous ambition is defeated and Germany has only loss as reward for her sacrifices, Wilhelm can go to his people and point to the odds against which he failed; he can jushifie his failure to secure for Germany her ‘ place in the sun” on the plea-that he could not win against the world. It would mean much to him then to have the capture of Paris to hiscredit. He could claim that he had carried Germa- ny to victory over her original adversaries,

by the coming of the millions of Americans. Paris would be the Hohenzollern’s vindica- tion before his people, but the hope is gone. The road to Paris is again closed to the

Hun. _
