Every thinking Cattadiau will sense an oini- nous note itt the news itetti of yesterday, re- porting Ljtiitcd States officials as entertaining the idea of turtifyitig the ittteriiatiottal buttiidary line. lttformatioit reaching Uttawzt is to the effect that U.

Tltis question was brought into prominence sttmr yt-ars ago by .\lr. H. Roy Holman, who, during his years in the City Council. kept urging this plank in his election platform and had the satisfaction of seeing the rates eventually re- duced from t3 to 5 cents per kilowatt.

"More About Nova Scotia,” by Miss Clara lJt-itnis, of Halifax, is the subject of a cliarttiitig book about present-day cottdititiits itt ottr sister Maritime province. lt provides an excellent scqttel to Miss Dennis’ previous work, “Down in Nova Scotia."

The country cannot at one and » the same time have abundant em- t ployment and the cheap food which l was partly symptom, partly cause, of world-wide t‘ pressioa and un- empoyment.

Happily we have now emerged from that; situ- ' anon and the rlsese in prices has‘ been no more than the nec and inevitable accompaniment of rising prosperlty. -- Telegraph and ; IWOHllIIg host, London.

They were young men: mostly youth. When they turned ‘out the otcfiitéft’, the oltlmen who had “betrayetfl-them, they did not turn to peace.

CHARACTER TRAINING NEEDED

Sin-Kindly allow me lo p're- sent a. challenge to our Education- " at Authorities. It Ls generally admitted that aclenllflc uiiv cement ln recent

t years has far outstripped moral and '

social progress. Notwithstanding lmarvelous skill and mechanical t power, the good earth ls st.l.t1 biot- ted by poverty, distrust and war. Therefore direct Character Ed- ucation, call ll; social Science, World Citizenship, or what you wlll, should be prescribed by the Department of Education, in every country, as a separate - subject, obligatory to all pupils 1n every t grade. The lndlrect methods now used

are effective as far as they go.‘

, The studies of health, literature and current events, also school ldtscipline and the example o! l teachers, all contribute. but: are plainly inadequate. Social, eco- , ttomlc and International conflicts all point to the necessity of direct, practical character Iductttlon from kindergarten‘ to university. ' This ls not to excuse the home or the church, but to poliit out , that the school has a special 0p- .port.unity. Many parents them- selves need character training and only a few are trained teachers. Attendance at church schools ls vnltmtnry and brleffwhile at pub- llc school ll. ls compulsory and for several hottrs five days a week. Pubic lnstrttctors are tralited while Sunday School teachers are often untrained and few church schools give a systematic graded course. Public schools are support- ed by taxation and churches by free-will offerings. Churches are

apt to emphasize doctrine while schools can stress moral values Churches. being dlvlded, miss
