Byderation should not be allowed l0 piss without a reminder of this fact, bith w the teachers and to the pub- li£ generally. While joining with our lqial contemporary in welcoming the tdlchers to the city, we cannot but regret the obvious attempt which it mikes to capitalize for political pur- poses the question of teachers’ sal- axles. mThe teachers owe to the MacMil- 1m Government the fact that all o! them earning $600 or over per veal- did not receive a salary out in 1933 ween the Estimates were being pdssed in the Legislature on that #635103, Mr. Lea, leader of the 0p- ‘ itlon, seconded by Mr. McIntyre, vcd an amendment which, i! adopted, wuld have had this effect. Every Liberal member voted for it; every Conservative member voted against it, with the result that the flnion was defeated. frico fact that the Government stood firmly by the teachers in 1933 was used against the administration politically, as was the expenditure nfsde in rebuilding Prince of Wales Qllege in accord with modem and fQture requirements. At the time, such propaganda Was deemed a 800d "vote-catcher." But the Govern- rient, headed by a Premier who really was more concerned about education than political criticism, stood by its policy. Today we hear nothing about reducing teachers’

tuies have generally been brought to a very low level, and teachers’ salaries. in the provinces for which i934 records have been received. show a three-year decrease of about one-third. Reductio ’ have been nfuch more severe in rural schools than in towns and cities. A short- age of funds has led some 60mm“!!- ities to shorten the teaching year by a few weeks, but very few schools have been continuously closed for any considerable time.

“In these abnormal times," con- cludes the Halifax paper, "such a result might well be anticipated. With the betterment of conditions a reversal of the trend may be cl- pected." '

An attempt was even made at the last legislative session by the Opposition members and 0P- pwltion press, to repudiate their motion of 1933, so far as it concern- ed the teachers. This attempt fall- ed, because the records of the de- bate, as published in both newspap- ers. are on file, and show conclu- sively that the Liberal intention, at"- that time, was to cut the salaries of every school teacher and gov - meant qrtployeo in the Province earning $500 or over.

The Liberal press is now attempt- ing deliberately to mislead the teachers with regard to its PKWY-l attitude on the question of salaries. It says the Conserva- tives platform of 192'! promised an upward revision, conditional upon augmentation of the present revenue of the Province. and that this pledge had not been implemented. it imits to say ‘that the platform in question was turned down by the electors. that the succeeding Liberal Govem-

Since such a diplomatic parley has been the strong desire of our State Department for more than a 312M’, it might seem u if the bus- iness were advancing pretty slowly, if we have only got so far as to spy that it might now be discussed. In one rwpect it may prove that no Brest amount of time has really been lost, inasmuch as there has been opportunity to study the trade trail-sections spins sh between the United States and Canada under existing. tariffs.

What a vast number of failures are strewn throughout life because of the lack of just a little more ef- fort upon their part! Thousands of 11S have been pushed to the break- lng point in our nerves, in our pa- tience, and in our work. But that is Just the momerl‘ that we should re- fuse to give upl "The line between failure and success," wrote Elbert Hubbard, “is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it: so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it."

According to Professor G. B. Henry of the -Rcyal College of Sur- néohs, wisdom teeth are responsible for many human ills. He cited cases of delusions, asthma, and. moral turpitude being cured by the ex- traction of wisdom teeth: but he did not try to establish the old wives‘ connection between the of- landing molars and wisdom; That connection doubtless grew up from the fact that wisdom teeth are in- cident tomaturity. But few people with any knowledge of the- world would connect the two. Maturity too often mez-eiy confirms lfnorance. It

Thus if anything: hlppehs l0 this fluid or liquid surrounding the cells then Na-ture- exerts certain forces within the body which tend to preserve the amount ind the quality of this. fluid. For instance with severe sweating from hard work, an attack of diarrhoea or u sentery, or the loss of blood from an injury could all make a differ- ence tc this fluid if Nature did not so control the fluids that the body cells are kept well supplied with this life giving liquid.

Prof. W. B. Cannon, Harvard, in his book ‘The Wisdom of the Body.’ says. “A teworthy prime assurance against extensive shifts of this fluid is the provision made of sensitive automatic indicators or sentinel: whose special work is tn set cv- “ pl in motion to prevent the loss of this fluid im- mediately there is any slight dis- turbance in the amountor quality of the fluid.

If water is needed thirst warns us before any change in the blood has occurred and we immediately drink some water.

If the blood pressure falls and the nec y oxygen supply may thus be interfered withp delicate nerve endings in a portion of the blood system send messages to the brain centre controlling blood prea- sure and the pressure ls raised.

If by ‘vigorous muscular move- ments blood comes back to the hea-rt in great volume so that the heart action might be embarrassed and the circulation checked, again delicate nerve endings are affected and a call goes to the right auricle (the part of the heart receiving this extra amount of used blood) that results fn speeding up the heart rate and‘ thus hastening the blood flow.

If the blood becomes less alkaline than it should be and is altered ever so slightly towards an acid condition the sensitive part of the nervous system which controls breathing is at once made active, rapid breathing follows and the limes quickly pump out. the car- bonic acid and bring the blood back to an alkaline condition."
