The Caledonian Club have introduced an in- novatiori this year by going abroad for an orator to propose the toast of "The Day and A‘ wha honour it” Professor Melville Cummings, D.Sc. of Truro Agricultural College having consented to undertake that important duty. He is re- puted to be an orator of unusual ability. In- deed, the Club's invitation was sent to Premier Angus Macdonald, "the better-half an Island- er," but regretfully he had to decline owing to a prior engagement, and suggested Dr. Cum- mings in his place. Rev. J. A. Nicholson will reply to the toast “The Land O’ the Heather’, while Premier Campbell will reply to “Our Pro- vince", and Mayor Tumor to "Oor Hame Toon". During the evening Major F. F. May, V.D., St. Eleanors will present on behalf of Miss R0llo_ Irving. Arman, Scotland, a photo of her late brother, Col. James Douglas Irving in the mess uniform of the King’; Scottish Archers, 1h; Royal Bodyguard in Scotland together with the silver broach with the Irving arms worn by him at St. Andrew's Day functions.

Evidently the realistic vulgarity of Epstein art does not appeal to the esthetic taste of pres- ent day idealists. The Rev. Dr. A. H. Rhodes of Holy Apostles Vicarage, Cheltenham, Eng- land, stirred to protest by Epstein's latest sculp- ture. “Consummatum Est,’ writes to The Lon- don Times for instruction in the art which it is said to exemplify: "May I be allowed to ask that we older folk, who have ‘. __-n bfflught up to believe that the great contribution of Greece to the ivorld was her idea and portrayal of beauty, may be now instructed in the principles of the new ‘art’. not least from the psychological stand~ point? I do not write from the religious point of view at all; the appalling horror of such a thing goes far deeper. I feel sure that others be- sides iriyself would welcome some attempt at explaining the mentality of such ‘creations’, as of ciibist and futurist ‘art.’ and 0f ‘noise’. which ihiiilcs it can produce color by blare of brass. Similar thoughts arise when one contemplates modern architecture, yet I hope it is unnecessary in emphasize that the varied styles of the cen- liiries neerl iini remain the only styles. But in ihe name of all that passes for ‘beauty’ in the minds of simple folk. let us cry a halt to the studied negation of beauty."

Unfor-' tunafely the sore throat may be so slight that when an atzack of rheumatism appears some week later the sore throat is not remem- bered. and the toncih are there- fore not blamed !

Dr. Reginald Lightwood 1n The Lanoef. lmidon. says: —"!t. has been shown beyond reasonable

adian high school. and thus eflect

unity and continuity in the new

system- of education But if this is

precisely what the reformers or , "rvvrsers" intend, then they should i say so eizpiicitly. I 1t is true also flint in the event ~ of the proposed change bemg made. Prince of Wales College could retain its present status if a system of high. scl-iools was estab- lished throughout our province to fill the gap made by the elimina- tion of Latin. French. Geometry and Algebra from the common public schoob. But again Mr. Nicholson says. ‘in effect. that these would not be necessary", for he says no extra expense is antici- pated in the proposed change.

Then again. Mr. NichoLson does not tell us just what academic at- tainments would be required of the new teachers. Would they be re- quired to know anything about Latin, French. Geometry and Al- gebra, seeing they would not be required to teach these in the new schools? If Hr. Nicholson asures us that the new teachers wouidbe required to have the same acade- i mic training as the old teachers. then we know that according to the system in the Canadian high schools. a country student would be required to attend Prince of Wales high school or any other Canadian ‘nigh school three years in order to secure a second ciass teacher's license. and four years to secure a first-class teacher's lic- ense: so that in the case of teach- ers. at least. the new system would be decidedly more expertsh-"e

0t course we may gran: for ar- guments szize that the new team- ers would not require a knovvlci ;e of Latin, French. Geometry or Al- gebra, seeing these would not be taught in the new common puoLc ‘schools. And moreover. Mr. Nich- olson tries to assure us that when Sir Richard Livingstone recently before a great convention of Brit- ish scientists. recommended the "cultural and humanistic subjects" for the masses he did not have in mind anyone of the above-named subJects. That may be so, bu; we have our doubts

We think in all fairness to the public that our reformers. "revis- Brs". 0r whatever they wisn to call themselves should be more defin- itely constructive in their propose-d UPI-Illa.
