EDUCATION

ft is regrettable that Oppcsltoin members in the Legislature did not consider worth discussing the mu- nificent grants for library demon- stration and educational purposes received through the efforts of Hon. Dr. MacMiilan, Minister of Health ‘ and Education, from the Carnegie Corporation. Certainly, had they dwelt on this subject as exhaus- tively as they endeavored to criti- cise the expense of the Minister's efforts to raise the health and edu- caticnal status of the Province, their speeches would have convey-

ution or revenue upon Whit!!! "It income tax could be imposed. These increases show a. heavier imposi- tion on sources of wealth, which all must admit is but fair and equit- able. »

For the reverse side of the pic- ture, take the sales tax. This, Mr. Stevens pointed out, falls into the category of the Oppositionu de- scription of"t.axation which will fall upon those least able to bear it." It. is this tax that. Mr. Raiswn, chief Liberal financial critic, referred to is "the poor man's tax." Prom i822 to i930. under Liberal rule, the av- erage sales tax collected was $94,-

Those Canadians who an keen for closer affiliations with Russia will he interested to learn on the authority of Mr. Walter Durant)’. o.’ the New York Times, that a million souls have been lately re- moved to exile by the Moscow re- gime. The new terror appears in different forms in town and country. but they are really iden- tified in that both consist in the forcible uprooting of Russians from their normal abodes, and in (heir trarmfer to other sections of the country, where they are employed la the Btalin autocracy chooses.

Roosevelt is no dictator like Mussolini and has given no evidence that he cherishes such ambitions. He was elected in the usual peace- ful way, without any black shirts or brown shirts. l-ie was vested with certain extraordinary powers to grapple with extraordinary prob- lems. There is a world of diflerence between the cheerfully given sup- port or the people of the United States and the violence by which Mussolini and Hitler obtained power. If good times return, Roose- velt will probably be elected again. I: not, he is likely to meet the fate of Hoover. Democracy will not give way to Fascism any.‘ more than to Communism of tl.: Russian

sincerity. The grants referred to have already materialized. All but $15,000 of thc $135,000 voted by the Corporation for the purposes re- ferred to, is already to the Prov- ince's credit at. the bank, plus scv- eral thousands of dollars addition- al premium on exchange. What this moans to thc Province from educational standpoint cannot calculated in dollars and cents. It has been intimated that if the lib- rary demonstration work succeeds this year. further grants may bc obtaincd_to carry on the work.

In the meantime, one tangible result is seen in the dcspatch in today's men's columns from McGill University, wherein it is stated that the University is establishing, next July, a summer course at. Prince of ivalcs College at which special illustrated lectures, open to the public, will be given on Canadian historical, library and literary sub- jccts. The course is being operated

in connection with the three-year library demonstration work in the Province, under the auspices of the Carnegie Corporation, and is the outcome of correspondence carried on between the Provincial Educa- tion Minister and Dr. Lomer, who, with the assistance of other mem- bers of the McGill Library School staff, will direct the course. The opportunity thus presented is one which we believe will be l very widely appreciated.

under the Bennett Government, the average has been $59,000,000. "In case my hon. friends say, ‘Oh, but

there was a lot of business in the 1922-30 period,’ " added Mr. Stevens, "let inc remind them

that for a very substantial por- tion of that time they had a ,6 pcr cent sales tax, just what it Tis today. And for a very substan- tial portion of that time they had a smaller exempt list than we have today. In other words. there was a heavier weight of sales tax dur- iug the term of office of my hon. friends than there is at the present time." '

It will be admitted by all fair- mlnded persons that. the achieve- ment cf the Bennett Government in equalizing the taxis at a time of great economic difficulty is much more creditable than the criticism by opponents, who, when in office, were so “H113 concerned about re- ducing taxes on those least able to bear them. Indeed, if the King Government had been more solic- itous about taxing the wealth of the country, and more concerned about the mounting deficits on the Canadian National Railways for thc payment of which so much of the taxpayers‘ money must now be ex- pended, our financial problem would not be what it is today.

zvo Mons‘ DIRIGIBLES

The airplanes margin of safety has been steadily widening, but the record of the dirigible is a dreadful contrast. Britain. Italy, France and the United States have all had ill- luck with this type. Germany alone, either through good fortune or because German technicians have some secrets in this field which others have not discovered, have had a m t of success. The Graf Zeppelin has crossed and recross- cd oceans and journeyed around the world and is still intact.

Britain gave up dirigible con- struction, upon which she had built high hopes, after the destruc. tion of the R-i0l. on her maiden voyage, to India in 1030. After that mishap the R400. the sister ship, was broken up. and the Air Ministry announced thatiBritain would no longer experiment with 111v inve- The United States had had similar mishaps but refused to give up and staked its faith on the Akron, in the construction of which no money was spared and all the engineering genius of the country in the sphere of aeronaut- ics was given full scope.

Fascism in Italy and Germany and Communism in Russia have one thing in common-they will not permit their ideas to be criticised adversely in speech or writing. Freedom of assembly, freedom of the press, the right of petition-all these liberties have been crushed

The Germans have just launch- ed another “pocket battleship," built on the same lines as the Deutschland and to be known as the Admiral scheer. It is 596 feet long, with a displacement of i0.- 000 tons and its eight Diesel en- gines of‘ 50,000 horsepower will give it a speed of 26 knots, enabling it to run away from nearly all heav- ily armed battleships.

A FAST GROWING HEALTH SOCIETY

About three years ago in Belgium seven people discussing health mat- ters deeidedtc organize a health society called the Society of Pre- ventive Medicine, the idea being that they would do whatever was possible to prevent illness in them- selves and their families, and in others with whom they came in contact.

To-day that organisation has B73 branches and over one and a quar- ter million members.

There are three different places where the members go for examin- ation, beeausc it has been found that the examination of persons who considered themselves free from disease often revealed the ex- istence of conditions, the timely treatment of which prevented scr- ious lster developments.

You can readily understand that conditions such as early tubercul- osis, pernicious anaemia, diabetes. heart, blood vessel and kidney dis- ease and others may have no out- ward or inward sign such as pains, swellings, sores or other symptoms to warn the individual of their pres- ence. Thus these aiiments, usually fatal if not discovered and treated, may get such a start that treatment will be given too late. .

The big point about this organiza- tion is that they give no treatment whatever. If the examination re-

treatment the individual is referred to iris family physician, or if in poor circumstances to the dispensary. Most of the insurance companies now give their policy hdlders the privilege of being examined every year by any one of a. dozen or more experienced physicians. The find- ings are given to thc patient and not to the company as the examin- ation is considered confidential. Notwithstanding the great value of this free examination only a small percentage of policy holders take advantage of it, and may be suffering from the early Symllmmfi of ailments that could be prevented or controlled if taken in time.

It may be some time before our people become as wise about their ‘health as these Belgians, buttsurely the expenditure of one hour and’ the small fee with your family phy- sician once a year is the cheapest and best. health and life insurance obtainable.

Scots Must Be 0n Guard

tToronto Globe)

'I‘hc Sc.t is beginning to assert himself; to ciaim his rights. some time ago- a. Stirling movie-theatre owner was ordered to haul down the ancient Scottish Standard, which in justifiable pride, he had flovm above his place of business. it was claimed that this is the per- sonal flag of the King of Scot- land, not to bc used by private in- dividuals, and thc natural retort was that for some time Scotland has not had a King of her own. During the controversy it developed that the prohibition applied only m thc Royal Standard, which might not be used commercially. The Scottish flag did not come under the ban, and now it may be flown by any one, even an individual without knowledge or appreciation of the historic sgnificancc of the red lion rampant on its yellow background.

In dwelling on this incident the St. Thomas Times-Journal recalls the story of an ill-informed Ameri- can marksman performing at the Bisley Range, who, when he saw the Scottish Standard flying over the quarters of Scotland's repres- entatlves, exclaimed: "Gee, I didn't. know you had a Chinese team com- peting here." Just anothcr slur, oi’ course, and indicating that the Scot must be on his guard.

Some time ago-in fact, Just be- fore st. Andrew's Day—scoffers as- sertcd that the haggis was an in- vention of a French chcf, and that the heather on South African hills was much brighter than in the land that is supposed to be its home. And again. of late. golf championships have been hold by the Sarazens, the Joneses. and so on, none of whom could roll a blrr-r-r on his tongue. Another re-

Jlection on the home of the royal

and ancient. game.

All these things seem to point to a conspiracy aimed to wreck the treasured traditions of the Soot. What is he going to do about it? Nothing spectacular- There will be no cxtravcgance of spwch on the subject. With his splendid racial pride the Scot will assume that the world knows better than to regard these aspcrsbhs as other than the

BAMBLES manual! rwnmA VII Biiq-Frouting on the Gulf 0f Mexico is a long stretch of shore- front, usually called Pasha-Glim- situated on the island of the sarnc name, and probably possessive the gnu; bgthlng beaches in America. The extreme point of this Mecca m» bothers is about twelve miles south from st. Petcrslvurg (centre) and is reached by a smooth drive- way with accompanying finished sidewalks of concrete, and eunuch park-libs boulev ds and past dil- nified residences. ‘Through a Burden like stretch of country shortly after leaving St. Petersburg is lmser Park-the favorite route to Pass- a-Grilie. The Corey free causeway- a substantial, wide. concrete struc- ture about one and one-half miles in length, connects the island with the mainland. Between the two points 1g Boos ciega Bay, where can be seen Shell Island, on which may be gathered rare and beautiful shells. valued by many as souven- irs. Beforc crossing, however, we pass by what is considered the fin- est structure for the intended pur- pose of any in Florida, namely: the “Hotel Rolyat"—-a modern hot- el in a Spanish castle “adjoining the famous Pasadena Golf Course. Of pure Spanish architecture its patio with the celebrated Wishing Well and outdoor swimming p001‘ is a mecca for tourists. That, though,

I am told, have been discontinued, because of its enormous cost, not only of construction but of ‘main- tenance as well. It now belongs to the Federal Government for use as a Military Academy. After crossing the causeway-men- tioned above which makes a pleas- ant drive and especially attractive at. sunset, we pass by Pass-a-Grilic Key, along which flue hotels, beach casinos and residences feature a re- sort which is the winter home of a number of celebrities. Its beach- es are favorite gathering places for picnics and parties. One casino, in particular. ls celebrated as very popular and extensively patroniiwd for dancing and for its proximity to the beautiful bathing beaches fronting on the Gulf of Mexico. Probably the largest and most imposing hostelry in the environs of St. Petersburg is the "Don Ce Sar Beach Hotel" of Pass-a-Grilie. containing 325 rooms, from the tower of which may be obtained an extensive and mag1iificent"'view of the Gulf of Mexico, and the beach fronting which is silvery white and as smooth as velvet. Other prom- inent hotels in the locality are the "Jungle Hotel” overlooking Boca Ciega Bay with its furious golf course and sports grounds, and the "Boca Ciega Inn" a. centre for fishing, boating and shore dinners. ‘speaking of hotels, it may be stated that in St Peiersburg there are 13B. ranging from small, home-
