s An Ancient Art

The lfiistory of shorthand and its (kvelop- Iient over a long period of time were related It the International Shorthand Congress re- cently held in London. Some of the facts pre- sented to the four hundred delegates from Great Britain. the United States and all the Eur- opean countries, says the Montreal Gazelle, were calculated to surprise even the expert-s. Lord l-levvart. the Lord- Chief justice presided. and in his inaugural address traced the history of the art to Egyptian, Greek and Roman times. I-t is England, however, which can lay claim to the title of the cradle of modern short- hand, and it was fitting that the International Congress should be held at the London School of Economics. I)r_ Tlllllillly Bright. recognized as “the father of modern shorthand," was ex- perimenting with rapid writing as early as I586, just a year more than 35o years. A usntury and a half r1111» Simiiu-l Tz1_\‘lor was achieving fame with his SI-(‘l1l)_{{l'1’\pl1y, which was soon adapted to the principal European languages.

Is there any great need for ficld sports in a country where agriculture and manual labour generally predominate? That was a question IIISCIISSCd at a recent gathering of tcziclu-rs in Toronto. One of the senior schoolmastcrs said there had been a steadily gi-oiving demand for fewer hours for studies and more for C.\'('l‘C1sC-, just as there was a, widespread demand f111- shorter hours of labour, and more time for out- Of-dOOI Pastimes. "The reason for the change," he said, “lies in the need for greater leisurc— and more sport because of the nervous strain caused by machines on human organism. Etiilt up over tens of thousands of years to meet con- ditions in which no human being could move faster than a horse. England became the first sporting country." be said, “not. I suggest, be- cause the English had a peculiar gift for ball games, but because they were thc first to he called on to resist the impact of ui-lian indus- trialism. Sport is a substitute for physical ex- ercise which manual labor used to provide, or which the eighteenth century merchant or law- yer obtained by riding about his business on horseback.”

Coffee and arrived simultaneously h the Scandinavian countries in the latter part of the eighteenth century. and rival groups interested in establishing markets madc absurd claims for each beverage or asserted that onc or the other was harmful, according to which‘ side they were on. The claims became so fantastic, according to the Field Museum News, that the King of Siveden, Gustaf III, a liberal-miiulv-d and or- iginal monarch, became annoyed and sought means of putting an and to the extravagant propaganda of both parties. “Opportunity came when a pair of twin brothers. alike in every jihysical respect, were can": .11 of a murder and condemned to death,” the Museum publica- tion snys. “Deciding to use them for an ex- periment which would forever settle the dis- pute over tea and coffee, the king coniuiutorl their sentences to life imprisonment with the provision that one should be made y) consume daily a powerful potion of ten. the other an equivalent potion of coffee. Finally one of the twins—the tea drinker-died at the age of eighfv-tliree. and the circumstances of tlu-ir life imprisonment were recalled. The king's ex- periment was ended. Its outcome tinqpestionably was as if made to order for his subjects. for coffee has grown steadily in popularity in Sin-den until its per capifa Ofifléilllllplllifl exceeds that of any other country of the world the United States ranking second."

ENJOYED VISIT

Sir,- Arthur

As a guest tourist with P. Montgomery. Boswn

business man. 1 have recently en- 1

joved a fortnlghrs visit with Mr, and Mrs. Arthur Lee Hamilton A most hospitable l-Iost and Hostess.

As a vacation land P. E. I. Ls ideal. The scenery is superb and the air invigorating. The people are very industrious and of a fne type and a credit to any nation.

Tourists find that your well paved highways facilitate travel and because of this are able to enjoy views of your fine country; Absence of rural electrification 1s very apparent. to visitors. The absence of hard surfaced hgh- lvflys in New Brunswlok make travel to the island difficult. An improvement there would be of benefit to the Martime Provinces,

when Mr. and Mrs. Owen visit Boston. I hope to be able to re- ciprocate the many kindnesses that they extended to me on my visit to P. E_ I. I wlsh to acknow- le-dze a very jneasant and enj y- able vacation ‘n .\'3\ir country and reel that your Chamber of Com- merce or oreanivation of business men should advertise t-he advant- fl-lcs o! the country to summer vacationlsLs.

The government. I claim. would be per- fectly justified in passing a new regulation requiring that every1 school ground should consist of at, least one acre—and it ls surely good logic to say that two acres would be twfoe as good- and the school houses old and new should be plac- ed well back on these grounds and tastefully fenced with wire or other- wise. Up w this point the regula- tlon 511011111 be compulsory. but af- ter this point it should be merely advisory to allow for individual taste and judgment in respect to planting trees and otherwise orna-

We are quite confident that if our provincial governments would only act on these three suggestions (though they are all given free) ma; me planting of trees and hedges by farmers on their own farms would be greatly stimulated; and in a few generations our Ls-l land would be a virtual paradisefl that ls. insofar as mere beauty would make it so.
