v sos T0_ Enucarlolvlsrb ' Asses call “tcfibducationaiiste was given by the Rev. Lawrence Clare, religious leader, philosopher end littcrateur, in addressing the Canadian Club of Montreal, this call being given as tho climax‘ to his peroration after speaking on the dangers confronting democracy in an age marked by laxity of thought, attitude and action in re- spect of law and order. The under- lying motif of his address on “The roots of Civilization" was that tho sense of awe and of the sacred under lies civilization and that the ‘ only way to meet the present trend is by education, an education not for utilitarian purp:ses, but for thr: development of the mind and soul.

Civilization, asserted Mr. Clare. depends upon a right application of the sense of awe or sazredness. That implied there must be an apprecia- tion, in particular. of the -sac.r:d- ness of three things: ends worth striving for; human personality, and moral values. Under the first category he placed the mainten- ance of civilization itself, the quest of knowledge, and the increase of the splendor u! the human type. In regard_to human personality “we must believe in the worth of the soul, or all our best effort will cease?’ while as to moral values, the speaker commented: "It is not enough to look upon moral law as simply convenient; moral law is either sacred or it is futile, and that holds equally true of political honor." 1

In addition to these elements in \ proper civilization, democracy also requires a love of one's country and respect for law. Democracy minim- lzns external compulsion, hence tho greater need for that public spirit which is necessary to keep democ- racy alive. Without- such public spirit upholding larv and order de- mocracymust descend to anarchy, and anarchy must rebound to de- spotism semi today in the form of lilctatorships.

Tile risks to democracy in the present day were stressed by the

wpeaker, risks attendant on the decay of respect for authority, for judges, universities and clergy, risks

. arising from mob hatred or from political indifference orfrom tol- erance of certain conditions.

Modern literature and the semen contributed to the lowering oi human values and standards, one well-known novel presenting a vis- ion of man as a “monkey with meg- elomania," While the film with its gangsters seeking amusement and life without effort reflected civil- lsation without a soul. No democ- racy can live on such conditions; that is the lesson of history, he declared. ‘

I-Iow are we to meet this situa- tion, queried Mr. Clare. who dis- clai ’ the role of a. pessimist and proceeded to explain that in the widest sense it is a problem of edu- tatlon. "It is with this problem of education that a wirn government will concern itself as much as with the problems of politics or com- merce and manufacture." Education, he held, must seize hold of the im- agination. get down to the roofs of action, and must convey awe. Truc education is not to be tested in the examination hall. but in life. Has it made good citizens, has it min- istered to a fine employment of leisirn. has it saved mcn from be- ing ‘cute,’ from accepting prejudices as reasons. from fag-ends of thought, and. above all has it saved mcn from accepting a civilization with- out having the will to strive to maintain it? "Educationalists. SOS!" exclaimed the speaker.’ B8 h?

London beset about making an in- ventofy of the crown jewels and was deeply incensed because the alderman _o'f,tbe Old ‘Iowa refused to advance him a hundred thous- and pounds upon this treasure. lie contrived, however, to raise sixty thousand pounds upon them in some other quarter. "Charles I be- took himself to the selfsame Plan of relief. though tlu Dutch insurers “Pressed doubts as to the king's power to pawn his jewels without consent of his Parliament. It was managed, nevertheless; and in 103i warrants were wanted for the re- demption of crown Nwels held by Dutch merchants. On the eve of the Civil War. in 1e42, the Cromweliian Parliament issued an order declar- ing that Charles had no power to pawn or sell this treasure. and that whosoever “should PM’. lend. send. or bring money into the kingdom for or upon these jewels should be accounted an enemy of the- State and dealt with accordingly." Yet in the same year the Commons as- sumed the right they had denied the king and authorized Henry Martyn to break open the royal jewel chest at Westminster and sell its conirznts, the "imperial crown of messy gold" into the bargain. After the Restoration took place, Charles II lost no time in trying to re-stock the jewel chest. He decorated his stirrups with three hundmd and twenty diamonds. He issued a pro- clamation commanding all persons holding pssession of any jewels or plate belonging to the Crown to re- sicre the same. Two years affcr- wards a commission was appointed to "examine the accounts of the so- called trustees and contractors for the sale of the laic king's goods." Nothing came of this effort, but some years afterwards the British

crown, with its gems, was stolen by

Colonel Blood, wilo came pretty

cious booty. The "Merry Monarch"

Today it is in safr: hands and the lustre of its gems is only outmafched by the high esteem and deep affection in which its wearer is held by his sub- jects in all parts of the British Em- pire and throughout the whole World.

Such control of the muscles of the

body is of courseoxcellent, but for the average individual it is not n?‘ ' ‘ ' v. norm ' I often feel that ii’ as a race we were to spend Just five to ten min- utes a day on the development and control of the abdominal muscles we would not only have a better pos- ture or carriage but the general health of the nation would be greatly improved.

The abdominal muscles which cov- cr the surfacc of the abdomen not only bend the body upwards and sideways, but serve to hold the ab- dominal organs in_ their proper positions.

We are apt to think of the ab- domen as a sort of covering for the organs inside but Dr. D. Sallkin. Howell, Michigan, reminds us that this wall is very important to the proper working of the organs within. The abdominal wall - made of muscle - is able to “accommodatrfl the organs or hold them snugly in position. ,

This "accommodation" to the organs on the part of the abdominal wall is made possible by the elas- ticity of the muscles forming the wall and by the nervous system which controls the muscles. Thus the muscles and nerves working well together permit the abdominal organs to do their work properly whether there is much or little pres- sure about them, l A fair amount of development and control oi’ these abdominal muscles can usually be obtained in a few months by 6 to 8 minutes ex- ercise twice a day.

ThoiGommercial Aspect of the Tourist Industry guumifzramharztiawl-iimébm Seluidiy bani. Itditor Cur-din.) ' '

On the other hand, the‘ expressions now in. vogue. "Tourist Traffic," "Iourist Busin- ess." "Tourist Erode" all appear too oommonpl . They seem also to commercialise the idea to the limit. and leave the im v ion that we are dealing in every day common merchandise, instead of with tho higher instincts of living men and women. If we must use expressions of this kind "Tourist Industry" would seem to be at least a slight improvement.

While, however. complaining of these terms. it must not be suppos- ed that sny portion of the work ‘ "l with tourists can be con- ducted on other than the highest known business principles and methods. Tourists do not simply corrn, like maxma from Heaven. and ask us as a favour kindly to supply them with board and lodg- ing of a nature such as we may happen to have. and incidentally to relieve them of all their available wealth; nor are they willing to re- mainwith us or return anothrrr year unless we are able to satisfy them in the matters of service. cuisine, house comforts, amusements and so forth.

We must realize that there is no industry in which competition is so keen as in that of attracting and serving tourists. There is scarce- ly a nation in any part o’ the world that is not today putting forth keen efforts to induce trav- ellers from other countries to visit them, partly-in fact mainly-be- cause of the money that the trav- ellers spend and partly because most governments want their own countries to be known and under- stood by the people of other na- tions.

Another point, and an important one. is that every dollar rrcelved from tourists is just as much a part of the export trade of a com- munity as is the money obtained from other countrkis or districts in payment of merchandise shipped abroad. for all the money spent by tourists is brought into the visited

as a portion of a hotel dinner.‘

An important feoturotoc is the fact that, as the whole business world is suffering today from over production and under-consumption. one of our chief troubles in this Province, the tourist should be par- ticularly, welcome, for he produces nothing at all and consumes one thing after another from the min- ufc that he arrives until he re home. By consumption is of course meant purchasing. and tins direct- ly and indirectly covers almost ever? phase of life on the Island. The farmer, the fisherman and import- ers and dealers supply food, the hotel employees receive wages as do those in the shops, the garage owners, who buy from the oil and other Companies. sell gasoline. oil and sundries and are paid for a variety of services. The building trades cam money in erecting new hotels. and adding to and repairing old ones. The retail shops, parti- cularly dry goods and footwear, reap large harvests from the visitors, and so it is that peopir: in all statiohs in life, including also those of the medical and dental p. ' are benefited.

Of all the Canadian Provinces there is none that necds the advan- tages obtainable from the tourist industry so greatly as does Prince Edward Island, because of the fact that we have so few factories giv- ing employment to our young peo- ple. This is particularly the case at the present time for, prior to the depression. it was to a large extent customary for those of the rising generation to migrate. either to the United states or to other parts of Canada, to make a start in life. To- day the former is prohibited, while the large numbers who are idle in the Canadian cities and towns ren- ders it practically mr- ssible for Islanders to obtain work. If, there- fore. there were no other reason for promoting the Island tourist in- dustry than to assist our young people, ‘this alone should he incen- tive suflicient to make every Island- er do all in his or her power to work hard in hand with our Island Travel Bureau, Judge Arsenault, and other public spirited mien associat- ed with him, as also with the sum- mer hotels and boarding housesthat are supplying the required housing and comforts tn our-via" .
