matic events that culminated in Edward's abdi- cation-a solution long since accepted by the overwhelming majority of Britons as a wise one —the attention of the British public has been absorbed a good deal -of the time by political ﬁgures \\'llOSC power is incomparably greater, and hence far more important for the future of Britain. than that of any constitutional mon- arch; liitier, Mussolini, Roosevelt and Britain's new Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain. The actions and titteranccs of those who ruled have overshadowed the doings of those who merely reigned.

But the new King has remained, deliberately, much in the public vie\\'; and the Empire, in spite of its unavoidable preoccupation with the more momentous, not to say ominous: problems of foreign relations and its tremendous rearm- ament program, has watched carefully with keen interest his carefully prepared debut. For per- sons are always more interesting and compre- hensible than problems of statccraft. This, as Bageliot said, is the justification of the mon- archy.

Trade Wilh The Netherlands

The Dominion of Canada was the chief sup- plier of wheat to the Netherlands iri 1936, ship- ping 55.8 per cent. of total imports or ap- pfOXlIllZllCl)’ 9.564.000 bushels, while arrivals from Argentina accounted for about 9.3 per cent. or 1,694,000 bushels. writes Mr. _]_ A. Langley, Canadian Trade Commissioner at Rot- terdain, iii the Commercial Intelligence Journal. I11 i935 imports from Canada totalled only 18.3 pcr cent. of the total or, roughly, 3,561,000 bushels, while Argentina ranked first with 60 per cent. or 11,640,000 bushels. During the

_tiie first six months of the current year Can-

first six mouths of I937 Canada was again sec- ond to Argentina, their respective shares being 65.644 bushels or 24 per cent. of the total im- ports and 144,681 bushels or 52.9 per cent.

Before the introduction of restrictions, the Netherlands was one of the leading flour mar- kets of Europe, with annual imports averaging in excess of 150,000 metric tons. In I935 they amounted to 41,519 metric tons, while during r036 and the first half of 1937, totals of 62,- 641 and 31,767 metric tons respectively were brought into the country. (One metric ton equals 2,205 pounds),

lVliercas in I935 Canada supplied 9.37 per cent. of total imports, this figure decreased to approximately 6 1-2 per cent. in 1936. During

ad:i's share was less than 2 per cent.

READING

sir—-My last letter showed how Latin and Hench. geometry and algebra have forced Reading and Literature into a. very minor place in grades 9 and 10. In this letter we shall consider reading apart from literature—what we mean by reading and how the ability to read can be taught and developed.

First, when we link reading with literature, we are correct, but the combination is misleading t! we fail to realize that reading Ls In indispeiisabfe part of every other suibjcct as well. Even mathe- matics-we do not. generally ls- sociaite redtng vrlth mathematics. . yet we know how necessary fa l iclear understanding of a problem

to its solution. when it comes m

history or geography or science it quite evident that our know-

ledge is almost entirely dependent , on our ability to mad. i By "ability to read" we do not mean the ability to recognize sep- arate words, or even the ability to give the meaning of each ' word. We mean the power to gather 1n- formatlon from the printed page and tlie power to distinguish between important and compar- atively unimportant information ,» contained on that page. You have fprcbably taken for granted that .‘ your boys and girls know how to ‘read’ their lessons. Watch your lison (or daughter) the next time lie studies his history lesson. Does he go over and over a page repeat- ing Hie words all the whfe? If so, he isn't “readlrig", he f: simply memorizing separate words that mean nothing to him, Ask 111m w tell you, 1n hLs own words, with- out looking at the book. what he has read. Chances are he will twist things and omit important Dolnts, and show dhflnltely that he does not know how to "read" at all. 0r perhaps your son does know how to read. If so, he will glance over a, page once or twice, then carefully g0 over each para- tIYﬂ-Dh. making a, note on paper, or fn his mind. of each point, u he comes to it. Then. he will read over his notes before going on tic the next page and repeating the process.

Q1‘ Perhaps you think you can read all right, but just don't; like to Chew Yourself no rim time You "read" s. newspaper article.

Dc you read throum this article, grasping the main pOlHLU without any special effort, or do you 11m glance at the head-lines because "it is too much trouble" to read it all. Also do you find youmelif dim carding a. book because the pg!‘- Efwphs looki toosolid and reaching for one with short pﬂmgfaplu and lots of quotation monks because It looks easier to read?

_If your children (and you) road with clue. Lucy (and you) will like to read. They will go to books for practical information. and they

- will go to books for the delight of their souls. But If reading is a difficult task once the school docr closes behind them, they will mad only the most trivial books-books whose meaning is clear to the poorest reader.

Now this ability to read, to drﬂIW from the printed page its wary secret, can be taught in school and developed through constant practice. But this takes time, and we have found that Latin and French. Algebra and Geometry have drasticaiy cut the time that ShWld be Riven to reading-resid- lng in connection with literature, and reading in connection with all other subjects. If the teacher had more time, instead of assigning a

lesson rfcr home-work, he would : study that ‘es=on in school with his nuriiis. 1“ would show them

how to "read" n. page, noting 1m. portant pcinfs, noting "key wards" that give the clue to an entire pursue. with practice. the pupil would be idle to study or "read" ,li1s lesson without the help of i the tractor. 1 I-‘tirtlier. if tliere were more time for reading, pupils would be en.

When the House of Common-B gathers for the next. session, u" legislators will be faced with ma!!! national problems. most u!

It f: the sub- ject of subversive propaganda which has ﬂooded the Dominion of Canada during the put few months. and which aims to influ- ence the pubfc opinion of Oun- adlims $0 favour prb-Fusclst. or pro-Communist teridencien or other subversive creed; of brute force and violence u opposed to the British principles of democracy.

It is hardly a secret that profu- sional propagsndistc, with rt- mtu-kable and almost. inexhaustible suppltecof money, have been cam- ipaigntng in Canada within recent Imonths trying to foster certain f European creed of force, and 0t-

taws Ls now realizing that. some-

thing must be clone to counteract 1 these enemies of our national un- , fty. with the strong possibility | that some official action may soon

be announced. since such investiga- tions come within the scope of the . Federal Department of Justice and the ‘Royal Canadian Mounted P0- lice, it in no easy mutter to learn Whit Plans of campatxn are con- templated by the Government, but it. 15 certain that nothing will be done which may be interpreted u interfering with free speech, {no press or the liberty of any Can- adian citizen to favour or w dis- favour any doctrine or creed.
