IKECOUIXIZIXUI (ilREl-Yl‘ TWIINGS.

The generous response given by our people to

. the Inter-Church Forward Movement and, a few

weeks earlier, to the St. Dunstan’s College drive, is, with probably only one exception, the most credit- able record ever made by our province. The one ex- ception was the outpouring of our flesh and blood as well as our money when our Empire and our civiliza- tion were threatened. _

The psychology of these historic incidents, for historic they all certainly _,are, has a significance that should not be lost sight of. They have proved beyond any controversy loyal, brave and true to their God and their country. We say “at heart” advisedly; we have our faults, many of them; we do many thingswvhich are not to our credit; we have 011r littlenesses, but when a crisis destruction or bereavement or misfortune in one of our humblest homes, our people are right there with

1's something to glory in,

Yetwe are not faultless. We have faults that are due perhaps more to thoughtlessness than to inten- tion. Take our school situation for example. We have lost and are losing our best teachers for the sim- ple reason that we refuse to pay a wage that would induce men and women of reasonable ambition to re- main in the profession or to enter it~ We ‘have per- sistently underestimated the importance of the school

men and women of a few years hence and upon whom will fall the full responsibilities of citizenship. If we could realize, what our schools ‘will mean to the youth of today when they go out into the world; if we could foresee the blessing or the curse we are to- day storing up for them, we would make the schools our first charge and see to it that our teachers were the best men and women available and pay them ac- cordingly. But we do not. School districts which contributed from five hundred to a thousand dollars to these forward movements wouldhave been shocked if askedto contribute three "hundred dollars to their teacher’s salary. Yet the teachers work is an es- sential part of the Forward Movementand no move- ment of church or state can be a forward one if the schools are left behind. , '

Why was the forward movement so magnifi- cently successful? First, because it was recognized as a movement for-world betterment; second, be- cause a favorable atmosphere had been created in advance by a systematic publicity campaign.

The first of these factors applies with equal force to our schools; ‘the second also would be equally possible if undertaken on behalf of our schools. The condition of our schools today is the result of habit. We had grown accustomed to the little supplement, to the cheap school, to the teacher who would ac- cept theposition at the lowest wage; we were econ- omical with our means but criminally reckless with regard to the future of our children.

This forward movement has been an inspira- tion; let us not lose sight of its teaching. Its greatest lesson is that we are capable of great things when we recognize their greatness. Our schools are among our greatest possessions and provision for the future of our children and of our country one of our greatest obligations We must place more emphasis 0n these greatest things, and create an atmosphere about themwhich will compel our sympathy and our as- sistance. a

The forcsjghterl farmers are now taking stock and making preparations for the spring which will shortly be upon us. One of the most important items in this preparation is to know definitely where the seed is to come from.

In the matter of seed potatoes there is going to be more trouble. this season than usual- In very many cellars potatoes have been chilled and in some cases frozen. In either case they will be unfit for seed and those who have experienced these losses will do well to arrange as early as possible for their supply.

As to the. potato situation generally we are in- formed that an estimate of the quantity available for spring selling is out of the question at present. Many who last fall figured on having‘a good surplus on hand for spring find that, through disease or frost or both, their supply has been considerably curtailed and the prudent farmer will take the ear- liest possible opportunity -of arranging for his seed Supply- _ _

The marketable supply 1n Ma1ne and New Bruns- wick is estimated as lower than usual, while Ontario is always open for seed potatoes. The Quebec supply is at least average but on the whole the present pros- pects are ‘that there will be a good demand and a fairly good price. ‘

In the matter of grain there is an abundance in all classes while the demand, home and foreign is such as to insure good prices. The main question at present is to make necessary provision for a supply
