Some of the faults of our Canad- ian educational system are analyzed by Dr. Carleton staruey. oresidmi of Dalhousle University, in remarks which are republished elsewhere on this page. It is a. truly scathing indictment,‘ and coming from one of canagjys leading educablonists ghoulfat least be given serious readii and attention.

Inc-mentally it will be rocalled

that fir. stanley attended the for- mal fisenlng, in February 1938, of Qur in Prince of Wales College. and §fter thoroughly inspecting the kfiitutlon, commended it in the hgheell terms. He _was particularly atruclcwith the economy which had been Exercised lrl constructing and oqulpfllg the building; the cost for the vQue received, he stated, being “remarkably low."

it may be added, has been the oflnion expressed by every vis- ftlng qiucaticnist. Voiced by such a stern fifth: as Dr. Stanley. whose experigmce and reputation for say- ing isely what he means are widely:known, it was indeed a not- able compliment.

‘ GOLD PRODUCTION

In the autumn of 1933, in its an- inual number, The Northern Miner made the forecast that the Can- adian mining industry would, as a result of the rise in the price oi’ gold, mako a ton-year Jump in 1934

~in normal progiess. 'I‘ilis prediction

has been borne out in full measure. rhe i934 annual number of this publication, just received, is equal- ly optimistic. -

That Canadian gold production in 1934 will exceed $105,000,000 is the prophecy of The Nonhem Miner. Over eighty mills will be turning out a golden grist by the year end, more than doubling the number of a year ago. Scores of properties, from coast to coast, are preparing to enter the lists of pm- fftable producers.

Old gold areas, neglected for s generation, have been revived flu-ough themagic of $35 gold. Nova Scotis, ontario, British. Columbia, Quebec and Manitoba share hon- ours in the energetic development of prospects old and new.

Dividend payments for Canadian metal mines of all classifications will exceed $ 3,000,000 in 1934, close to a retold. The possibflity of ex- pansion in this direction is distinct- ly encouraging.

Headed by Rear Admiral Kuble. the senior officers of the German cruisers Konigsberg and. Leipzig, visiting Portsmouth, paid a call at the British Admiralty last week. Their appearance in full dress uni- forms decorated with Iron Crosses attracted great attention in White- hall.

Already rumors are current that the Econo- mic" Conference, which has been down for a long count of nine. is about to be resuscitated- America. is apparently prepared to administer the necessary artificial respiration and Senator King prophesied at least a world monetary conference within a year. In the same way Sir John Simon talked of reviving dis- armament discussion even before the present parleys have collapsed. It used. to be said that the severity of the world blizzard would drive the nations together under one roof. both economically and politically. The reverse has happened. Each has made for its own kraal and barred the gate.

He went to work before he was six- teenyearsofageandthenratpay he got was four pence an hour. He recognized from the beginning the necessity for study and being pre- pared for whatever came along. In speaking of his experiences he says that many young fellows today think because they have passed oer- tain examinations they are quali- fied to fill important posts, but it's not as easy as all that. Sir Josiah believes that ability and patience are the chief factors in success.

1e Nouvellisie, Three Rivers: ‘It goes without saying that we have every interest in developing to the fullest possible extent our trade with the United Kingdom and the other British nations. But the re- suits achieved so far, remarkable though they are, must not blind us to the evolution which is beginning in intro-imperial commerce. If we want to save ourselves from disap- pointments. it is important that we should urgently take the necessary steps with a. view to diversifying our markets.

Inndon Morning Post lCons.) : To disarm in the pursuit of peace has always seemed to us a foolish and a perilous proceeding. Our statesmen in the immediate past have even taken credit for "cour- age" in reducing the defences of their country beyond the point of prudence. ‘This sort of daring in defence is like "daring" in feminine attire: it is a temptation to attack and may lead to undoing.

ting unexpected publicity by cir- culating his views on the Mass Buying inquiry before ills Commit- tee, now s. Royal Commisslml, has reported to the House of Commons. It appears that by request, Mr. Stevens, shortly before the House rose, addressed the Conservative Membe Study Club on the pro- gress of the inquiry, summarising and commenting on the evidence already submitted. For the conven- ience oi’ the members of the club he had his speech mimeographed and circulated, some copies finding their way also to friends and news- papers which Mr. Stevens consid- ered would show a friendly interest in his investigation. As might have been expected, copies also reached some of the firms being investigated and immediately actions for libel‘ were threatened, the contention being that only one side of the question had been investigated.

ANXIETY AS A CAUSE OF SLEEPLESSNESS

While the use of a drug to iHduTé

sleep is Justified in many cases, nevertheless taking "a drug regularly lto prevent sleeplessness is wrong. ' Now, while it is not known Just lwhat causes sleep, it is known that sleep should come naturally to all of us, and that if we can't sleep, there is something wrong.

If we can't sleep something is ob- structing or preventing it, and we must find that obstruction.

In most cases aleeplessness-in- sonlnia-is not clue to any disease of the body or mind but Just to a state or condition m’ the mind. ,

Naturally any pain will prevent sleep and if the cause of the pain cannot be found, or, if found cannot be prevented for the time being, then some sleeping drug may well be used.

However most casts of sleepless- ness are due to anxiety or to having too much on the mind. With worries or anxieties on the mind or the planning of the next day's or the next week's work, naturally there is lacking the "calmness" that is nec- essary before sleep will come.

You can thus see that the treat- ment of this form of sleeplessness is to try to get rid of what is caus- ing the anxiety or if this is not pos- sible try to reduce or lessen the im- portance of it in the patients mind.

This means that the physician will have to discuss plainly and fully the matter that is causing the anxiety. It must be "brought out into the light of day", and shown not to be so important that sleep will be lost and the health injured.

Many individuals can't sleep be- cause they are afraid they will not be able to sleep and they worry about the terrible results of sleep- lessness. They think they will go out of their mlnd-—bec0me insane- if they do not get a full night's sleep evfiy night. Thus they "try very hard to go to sleep". and this very trying so hard actually pre- vents sleep.

1n treating this anxiety type of aleeplessness the physician explains that while sleep is important, to health, there is no danger to the mind if the patient doesn't sleep, as Nature will step in arid bring sleep in due time.

Further, if the. patient is inform- ed that if he lies quietly in bed, with knees and elbows slightly bent, and mind calm. he will slow down his heart, lower his blood pressure and get 80 per cent of the value of real sleep, it often happens that he stop, worrying about not getting oh‘ t0 sslleen. and drops ofl into a sound

of reconstruction; it does not evoke the least enthusiasm. But it seems safe. And irl these days of excit- able cries, sensational panaceas, and violence abroad, the British public, so long as the situation con- tinucs 1o improve, is inclined to plump for safe lf stolid leadership.

Thus-all the indications would seem to prove that only on this earth are there human Joys and sorrows: revolutions and counter- revolutions; wedding bells and christenlrigs; auto horns and jazz; traffic cops and taxes; radios and telephones, and all the other things which go to characterize what is known as humanityn-Brantford Expositor.
