As might he expected, it wiis an astute moving picture publicist who propoundcd the query: Are parents people? Regardless of its origin. ..l10W8V8l‘, the inquiry has a very actual significance. I

-' Few Canadians ever face more important responsibilites than the duties involved in parenthood. Most of us would not think of play- ing self, laying a sirlewallk or oper- ating a second-hand truck‘ without some careful preparative tuition but we quite blithely assume coli- trol over the destinies of members of the next generation with what- ever knowledge of the subject we secure by guess or good luck.

- By this 1s not meant purely mat- erial matters-Joell and clothing-- but the problems of supervising mental development and tho more simple psychological questions which must be met.

It is obviously a very real prob- llcm but it is an aspect of educa- tion to which educaiionists have not yet given any considerable lit- tention. What should he taught to parents, ‘how and who should do it are things which still remain to be definitely established.

In Canada, for the past two years, the Canadian Social Hygiene Council has been conducting exper- iments in parent education. grou ‘of outstanding Canadians- jllrls s. medical men, educatioiiisis and government officials- have considered six of thc most import- ant questions on the subject. Their comments, in the form of eight ar- ticles, will appear in the Charlotte- town Guardian, commcncing Sep- tember 22nd.

(Written for The Canadian Press by SergL-Major ' Percy Buttery, late Canadian Field Artillery.)

the first battle for‘Ypres in October 1914, began their final evacuation. Terror-stricken men and women rushed from their homes frantical-

There is no need for me here to tell over again the story of Ypres. and of all the memories it holds for Canadian men and women. It was with no smell feeling of pride. mingled with sad and affectionate memories of‘ the many personal friends who sleep for ever beneath the hallowed soil of Ypres. that I set out for the Salient for the first time since I was there in mud- soaked khaki-for I was a Canadian soldier in the war days, and as a humble lirtillcryman in the 3rd Brigade I was privileged to play a modest part in the unforgettable stand at St. Julien in April, 1915. Though the articles which I hlid read on the New Ypres had always interested me, they lacked, I al- ways felt. that personal touch which can only be supplied by a visit to the scenes of those unforgettable events. '

Early one morning I arrived at Poelcapcllc by train from Ostcnd. Instead of huge shell-holes gaping out of a sea. of mlidwlth the ruins of century-old houses lying in struggled heaps over what was oncc the countryside; instead of charred stumps of trees and long lines of trenches, the outlook was just sug- gestive of complete pcaccpand hap- piness. On all sides were long stretches o land rich in cultivation. and scatte d about here and there were large red-tiled farm-houses and sturdy little cottages. In the fields laborers were at work. many of them, no doubt, men who‘. had readily cast aside the weapons of war and returned to the plow. The remains of pill-boxes and gun em- placements alone served to recall the tragic past, and even these were almost hidden. from sight by the

help. That was the last they saw of the old houses which for years had been their homes. As I stood at this scene of former desolation and despair I wondered how many of the poor fugitives of I915 had re- turned to occupy the neat red cot-

oi’ the shell-smashed dwellings.

perienced in the art of begging, and he regards the British visitor to the historic battlefields as his lawful prey. Every few yards on the road from St. Julien I was pestered by these urchins for “pfcnnings." A group of these young mendicants had assembled at the wayside mem- orlal-a small block of stone little larger than an ordinary English milestone-situated on the Wieltje road to mark the furthermost point reached by the Germans in their endeavor to capture Ypres. Dur- ing a pause to try to visualise the scene as the invader commcnccd the big retreat which was the be- ginning of the end of the Great World War, I was relieved of all my small change.

The ruins of the Cloth Hall in the famous square at Yprcs remain much as they were. but the re- building of the Cathedral of St. of the Square is a row of restaur- ants and cafes whcre one can get an excellent meal if one had enough

Surely this is the finest memorial of its kind in the world. On each side of the massive arch are gal- leries approached by stair-cases on

erial left behind after the Armis- tice. while the barbed wire which formed the boundaries of many of the farms, was, most likely. similar- ly acquired.

' A walk of nearly a mile from Pne- lcapelle station brought me to Peel- capelle villege. Soon_I found my- self on the road to St. Julien and Ypres. and was soon on familiar ground. for the roads have been
