THE METRIC SYSTEM.

It is evidently about time that the

pupils in our public schools were taught the metric system of weights and measures, as by the time our boys and girls have grown to be men and women the system will be in com- mon use in Canada. A full outdt of metric weights and measures of length »and capacity was: sent from Ottawa by Sir Henry J oly a few days ago to the Montreal Board of Trade, and the measures are new on exhibition at the Board’s rooms.

Sir Henry writes that the system

ed

n

is now in use in all the civiliz

British Empire. The two latter are notable exceptions no doubt, but we must remember that Britain has bee slow to accept the decimal system in money, which has been found of so great convenience ind advantage in all countries where it has been tried. Who in Canada would now be willin to return to the old currency of pounds, shillings and psncei

What the dollars, and cents -system

is in currency the metric system is in weights and measures. It was ,irst adopted in France' pre- cisely 100 years ago, and has se commended itself to the scientiic world that its use is new universal in scientific measurements. One cannot read the newspapers of the time. especially the foreign news, without coming across the expression of weights and measures in the terms of the metric system. Every English reader from time to timesees distance expressed in kilometers. which means 1.000 meters, the meter being equal to 39.37 inches. Or he will dna weights expressed in kilograms the kilogram being 1000 grams, or some- thing over 2 pounds three ounces. Of tue reader will meet with the term liter as a measure of capacity, and if curious to learn the quantity_ intended a reference to a good distionary will tell him thatit equals 1 pint 3 gills imperial mnsure.

All whose memories are old enough

to recall the introduction of dollars and cents will remember that at first they were constantly recurring to pounds, shillings and penceto know what value was expressed. But we soon passed beyond that stage and to- day when a value is expressed in pounds shillings or pence we immedi- alely iind the equivalent in dollars and cents in order to get at the value. So it will ba when the metric system has been in use for a little time. Ounces, pounds and tons; yards, rods and miles; pints quarts and bushels will beforgotten and we shall think as well as talk in the terms of the more con- venient decimal system.

The metric system will almost

inevitably become universal in civil- ized countries within a generation to

to come. It is therefore, well that our

bu

se t mticessors to Beer Bros. children should be given a few lessons 7 P in its general principles. so that when '

countries of the world, excepting C102 b*Ӣf*~\1S0iU hung back Who!! he

ting the boycotting of the Paris ex- position as a protest against the sen- tence of Dreyfus. Such methods are not likely to bring the French Gov- ernment or people to a. better frame of mind. There are enough other subjects of irritation between France and England without adding to the number. The boycott would be con- nected in the minds of the French people with the Fashoda incident and other troubles and would be certainly

resented as a foreign attempt to in- Huence the administration of jus-

cent. prisoner in France if foreign sympathy were shown in his behalf.

Judge Charles G. Garrison of New

Jersey describes in a fable how he regards thesituation in the Philippines. “A boy who had a brindle dog on a string was so tired that the dog was on the point of achieving indepen- dence, whi-n a member of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mais accosted the boy and cliided him for not giving the dog his freedom and finally bought the string for the sum of 25 cents. The last the boy saw of the kind-hearted stranger lie was kicking the stuffing out of the
