Although still young. Canada. has evolved considerable literature and some of her writers have taken a place among the foremost. To the credit of Canudian men and women of I letters, they have not "stooped to conquer" by pandering to the vul- gar taste. Their writings havebeen invariably clean and wholesome. There is a literature in Canada which is not oi‘ Canada: much of it excellent, but much also of a questionable morality. The latter

EDUCATION AND KNOWLEDGE

finitions oi" the method and‘, hurpose of education. men, however, seem to have placed emphasis iioi so much upon thci accumulation of knowledge zis ihc| ability to irtiiize the facts and ex-‘i The‘

periences within ones reach. truly educated man is not the pe- datit ‘who can translate ancient lan- guages and compile dry volumes on the grammatical structure of his own. but the individual who has completely absorbed what he has read and heard and experienced of life. who can utilize what he knows in practical affairs and has develop- ed the discrimination necessary for the selection of the things that are worth knowing and retaining in his memory. Education in this sense

‘is, not a matter of scholastic train- ing, it is the artistic living of ones days and hours from childhood to the grave. "At fifteen.“ said Con- fucius, “my mind was bent on learn- ing; at thirty. I stood firm. At forty I was free from delusions. At fifty I understood the laws of Pro- vidence. At sixty my ears were at- tentive to the truth At seventy I could follow the promptings of my heart without over-stepping the mean."

To Pliny, the great business of a man was to improve his mind and govern his manners. Socrates, it is true. considered that "there was one only good. namely, knowledge; and one only evil, namely, ignor- ance." But Schiller, the German poet. was more sophisticated; he considered that "knowledge to one appeals as a goddess indeed; 00 an- other. Knowietka is only a cow, mllkable every day."

It is not so much the knowledge that counts, as the manner inwhlch this knowledge is arrived at and the impression it makes. It is eon- eaded to be a progressive process. ‘in the race as m the individual. "It is curious," says Iongfellow, “to note the old soc-margins of hu- man thought!

he sets forth the following:—-

l-lenceforth. indefinitely, so far as any existing agreement is concerned. the Germans must pay 56259004100 annually on ac- count of reparations. The sum is more than a half larger than last years contribution. and it is between three and four timer; as much as the British pay us annually on account of the war debt.

Germans, and European ex- perts generally, are convinced that payments zit this figure cannot g0 on for long. Not b..- cause Germany cannot raise the necessary amount within her own frontiers and by taxation. Germany has no national debt and her reparations obligation. even at the maximum figure, is far below what the victorious British and French people have to raise every year to pay in- terest on foreign and domestic war debts.

Until now Germany has been able to pay reparations because the United States has been lending her huge sums each year, and taking in return Ger- man bonds and shares. We turn over the money, the Germans pay it to the Allies. and they turn it back to us on account of debts. Such a process cannot go on in- definitely, because in the end we should own Germany.

.___r

Some day, before long, in Mr. Simonds’ opinion, n. final settle- ment must come, and about $4,- 000,000,000 will be all that the Allies can get from Germany. This sum is no more than the total of either the British or the French war debt o the United States. Of the foirr billions France would get two bil- lions, Britain one ‘billion and Italy would fare worse. After iraying these sums to the United States, France would still owe ‘$2,000,000.(')QO and Britain $3,000,000,000. On the basis of this statement Mr. Simonds patriotically points out that Amer- ican investors, who have loaned bil- lions to Germany,"'liave a stake in the German situation." This is apparent. and it is equally ap-

" HEY that are whole need not a physician." It is character- istic oi‘ poor health to be everlast- ingly talking about personal fitness and strength. We note at present that a good deal of clamour is be- ing made about the excellence of our roads. This excellence has not been much in evidence dlrring thr summer now passing iilto history It is a matter of cominon know- ledge that during the whole sum mer our roads were not only not good but were positively dangerous and almost unfit to travel on Thanks to the favorable autumn weather. warm sunshine and dry- ing wind the hogback roads have settled down somewhat and since the machines were taken off and work suspended they are now in many places fairly safe and com- fortable. There are still miles and miles of important roads that are utlmly unfit for hauling or ever driving. Samples of these may be found in the vicinity oi Soirthport. where cars and carriages are down in the bare bone of an old cordu- roy road. Roads in the vicinity of Wheltley River, Margate and other plum an far from being as they ought to be. The people know all about this and no glorifying on the part. of boosters of the Govern- ment can alter the fact.

Foreigners find difficulty iii ac- quiring the English lliilguage partly because many words of the same pronunciation are each spelled dif- ferently and each word has a dif- ferent meaning. The words, right. rite. write and wright all have the same sound when spoken, but look unlike each other on the written or printed page. and are equally un- like in what they respectively sig- nify.

Motor Show Week in England covered October 15-20, inclusiveand we glean from English newspapers some notes and comments thereon. Some 157,000 cars were: made last year, but there isstill only one pri- vate motor car to every 55.9 per- sons, whereas the figures are 7 to 53 in America. ,The Daily Chron- lcle says the British manufacturer is supreme in the home market. 80 per cent. of the cars sold being made in the country. Next year it is certain that the number" sold at home will show a large increase. The London Times states that the motor industryonever stands still. and points out many proposed changes in the interior mechanism such as making the front wheels the propellers} giving each wheel separate springs, pandering to the craze for speed, sixty miles and more per hour. and so on.

"In all these and in many other instances existing practice. with its security) and ease of ac- complishment‘ has been sacri- ficed, and the manufacturer has embarked once more on the rough waters of progress. The motor car is again in the melt- - ing pot."
