The three Rs, "Readlng, ‘Biting and ‘Ritlunetic, taught in the dass , of the little red schoolhouse, d.d ' not comprise the entire currlculm; there was a fourth R that played a vltal part In the educatlon of our hardy first settlers, whose ln- 1 dustry and spirit buIlt up thls nation. The fourth R was Relignn and the pursuit of Righteousness. The belief that man W115 a spirit, and not merely a body, was not then considered debatable, and ln the training of a child the splrltual welfare was looked upon as the primary consderation. Thls point of view elicits small attention to- day, though many find cur pres- ent methods sadly Inadequate, and are now stressing the need of plac- ing far greater emphasis upon the teaching of Good Citizenship-Ears.

who ooiud have forueen 118 years ago that In this yea: of - grace, 1937, millions of Canadians ' would be holidaying because of the birth of a. girl ln Kenslngton Palace on May 24, 1819? She was not even as near the throne as ls Princess Elizabeth today. Her fath- er. the Duke of Kent, was only the fourth son of King George the Third. The first son, later l George the Fourth. had one daugh- jter, Charlotte. who died In I817. but, the second son, the Duke of York, was only 56 when Vlctorla was born, and the third son, the Duke of Clarence. was only 54. The ‘Duke of. York died childless In 1827. The Duke of Clarence, who became Wllllam the‘ Fourth tn I830, had numerous children, none of them legitimate. He married the year before Vlctorlivs birth, but dled In 1837 without a legal heir. George the Fourth and Wllllam the “ourtli had brought the mon- archy lnto the contempt of u multitude of Britons of decent ln- stincts. but there was n. revulsion inf-feeling when Victoria. ascended the throne In I837. She applied a moral purge to the British court and that probably was her great- est publlc service. The strength and depth of her polltlcal pre- judices have been disclosed to the British people only since her death, by the publication of. her letters and by frank blographers, but: she had the prudence to nvold an open collision with mlnlsters or governments with whom s-lie disagreed. so that. the Crown was not once during lier long reign made Into a political Issue. Victoria, who died on January 22. 1901. gave her name to the most illustrious era in the world's hls- tory. It has increased. not cllmln- lslicd. 11s gfory In retrospect.
