Sir William MacDonald, who is
referred to in the Gazette adver-
tisement as “Canada's Greatest
Benefncior," was born in 1831 at
Glenaladnle, this Province, thc son
of the late Donald MacDonald,
president of the Legislative Council
of Prince Edward Island, and Ann
Matilda Bracken. He was criucaigd
at the Central Acaclcmy, Charlotte-
town, and in 1854 began business as
n commission merchant in Montreal.
He later became a tobacco manu-
facturer, and acquired n very large
fortune. He was rt generous bene-
factor of McGill University. and the
Ontario Agricultural College, and
ljmdld and endowed the Macdonald
'Agricultural College at Ste. Anne
de Bellevue, Quebec. Ho died, un-
married, at Montreal on June 9,
1917. For many years he was
chancellor of McGill University. He
was created a knight bachellor in
1898. '
It was one of the ambitions of Sir
William to encourage in his native
province the consolidation of rural
Ichools. To this end he financed
lchool at Mt. Herbert. It was hoped
that this experiment would result
ln the establishment of large
graded schools in other sections;
but local opposition defeated Sir
William! for sighted plane in ,this
connection. More and moto, how-
ever, the need of consolidation is
becoming apparent. What -might

CANADA AT LONDON
I
On Wednesday the Toronto
Globe predicted: “Although he re-
presents a country relatively small
in population, Mr. Bennetts views
will command respect at the World
Economic Conference . A forceful
presentation of Canadafs policies
may be expected, with strong in-
sistence on her, right to attention
as a member of the group of major
trading nations."
The Globe's prediction was fully
realized on Thursday, when the
Canadian Prime Minister wok the
centre of the stage at the Confer-
ence and in a forceful address call-
ed for concerted lntemationnl ae-
tion to raise wholesale prices, stab-
ilize exchanges, restore im interna-
tional monetary standard. and clear
world trade channels. He warned
against the danger of "over-cau-
tionz" warned that to achieve re-
sults there must be action as well
as speech-making; and in conclu-
sion pledged Canada’s co-operation
to maintain the value of the
dollar on a stabilized basis in Len-
don and New York.
The Canadian Government agreed
that for the period of the Confer-
ence tho tariff truce should be
maintained, said the Prime Minis-
ter. But the Conference could not
be content with a truce perpetuat-
ing existing conditions. The United
states' proposal - that all nations
should adhere to the truce-should
not be an end in itself but purely
provisional and superseded within
the next few weeks by a definite
programme of reductions in tariff
levels.
Yesterday the Conference, having
concluded the preliminary speech-
making, got down to business. Hero
again Premier Bennett may be ex-
pected to distinguish himself, and
while safeguarding Cahada's inter-
ests in every way, to co-ctpernte
promptly and effectively in any
measures calculated to restore
world economic security.
LLOYD GEORGE
A rather uncomplimentary port-
rait of Mr. Lloyd Ge0rge, written It
the time when he was Prime Min-
ister or Great Britain but publish-
ed only recently, is drawn by Mr.
J. M. Keynes, noted British econ-
.rh-.i.:t. Mr. Keynes calls Lloyd
George “the Welsh witch," and,
while rendering tribute to his im-
mense Labours during the Peace
Conference, ,points out that his
policy lacked "permanent principle,
tenacity, fierce indignation, hon-
esty, loyal leadershifp;" and that in
his company there'was a "favour
of iinnl purposelessness, inner irre-
sponsibility, existence outside or
away from our Saxon good and evil."
His final sununing up is as follows:
“Lloyd George is rooted in nothing;
he is void and without content: he
lives and feeds on his immediate
surroundings; he is an instrument
and it player at the same time
which plays on the company'n||d
is played on by them too; he is a
prism. as I have heard him describ-
ed. which collects light and distorts
it and is most brilliant if the light
comes from many quarters at once;
a vampire and a medium in one."
EDITORIAL NOTES
The canadian Co-operative Wool
Growers' Association reports that
the tide has turned for the wool
growers cf Canada. The Association
says: "Last year wool values prob-
ably hit bottom, but despite these
law prices buyers were scarce and
it was only with the greatest dif-
ficulty that some growers were able
to dispose of their 1932 clip. Now.
like other farm commodities, wool
has started to come back. Prices
have advanced sharply and there
arc indications that the rise may be
continued. The country is again
flooded with' buyers glad to get hold
of Canadian wool at twice thc price
newly' my mrgjy, ggvggcmg. refused 12 months ago.”

l’Zct long ago A Dlx 110|!! ill!
was openly scouted as a demoralls-
ing proposal for the workers and na
economically unacceptable for in-
dustry. Today a six-hour day is re-
garded by most manufacturers not
only as feasible. but as likely to im-
prove employment, according to A
questionnaire sent out by 00111211
University to 1200 industrial plants.
They felt that drastic reorganization
was necessary to eliminate the bus-
iness cycle, stabilize employment
and give labor adequate purchasing
power. Prominent ln the suggestions
was the need for a minlnium wage
which would prevent unscrupulous
employers from exploiting workers.
hxsistence also was voiced on the
necessity of shaping new legislation
affecting hours of labor so that it
would not cause hardship upon any
one industry or group.
A writer in the Atlantic Month-
ly says; “I have come increasing-
ly to believe that the old-fashioned
Sunday is the but device ever ev-
olved for restoring poise and judg-
ment to a fidgety world. The de-
cline of the old-fashioned Sunday
is an event still so recent that it
needs little recounting. When the
first golfer discovered that he could
play 18 holes on the Befdbath and
still not be struck by lightning, when
the first druggist found he could
sell ice cream sodas between Set-
urdsyand Monday without a. frown
from his leading patrons, Sunday
as a day of universal rest was judg-
ed to be obsolete. Like melting snow
its customs and rigidities disappear-
ed ina .single decade and during the
next 20 high-pitched years they
were scarcely missed. Sooner or
later, however, the world may be
brought to realize that the old-
fashioned Sunday was not a. men
rustic survival from early calvinism
or a tribal rite of the ancient He-
brews, but was a, social check-valve
developed by centuries of human
experience, and that a nervous.
high-strung society which has sud-
denly abolished it will rue its loss.
The old-fashioned Sunday, in short,
was one of natures regulations,
checking the tempo of life and rc-
adjustig it every seven days.
'A widespread movement for link-
ing Germans outslde the Father-
land with those at home was given
impetus at 9. gathering at Passau,
sponsored by the Association for
Gerinanism Abroad. Dr. Steinacher
leader of the Association, emphas-
ized the duty of Germans within
the Reich to lend more and more
material support to the “third of
the German people now beyond
the protection of the borders of
national Germany. The purpose of
the association is “the preservation,
solidlflcatlon and strengthening of
German people on both sides of
the German borders." He declared
Germans abroad must bear equal
right and equal duty, as "co-oper-
ators in the nation of the future."
The associations appeal is shown
by the fact that subscriptions
which the gathering inaugurated to
hell! Germans outside the Father-
land was _heeded by contributions
of 2000 marks each from President
von Hindenburg and Chancellor
Adolf Hitler. The total amount rais-
ed, however, at the meeting, was
only 36,000 marks, about $10,000.
Araki, Japanese War Minister,
says of George Bemard Shaw: "He
talked of the philosophy of earth-
CIUBKGS. but he has never experienc-
ed an earthquake. I greatly regret
dming 1115 €i8hiy-Odd years of life
he has not received an earthquake
shock. An earthquake shock is no
surface affair; it comes from the
depths of the earth. It is regret-
table that I could not hear his
earthquake philosophy based upon
actual experience. Rather wistfully,
U16 Keneral adds: “An earthquake
happened just* before Mr. Shaw;
arrival in Japan.
The theist position has been well
stated by a modern scientist who
says: "Wli=.\rever we see an acl,
performed by another correspond.
ing to our own gift of causation, dir
ection and control of things, we
instinctively attribute to him the
same sort of consciousness that we
recognise in ourselves. I deem it
as asburd and illogical to affirm
that there is no place in nature for
God as it would be to assert that
there is no‘plnce in man's body
for his conscious mind."

HOW GDOD HEALTH AFFECTS
YOU
A University professor was ap-
pointed to the stat! of a large or-
ganization which had many travel-
lers all over the world. He was ln-
structed to trace the history of
these travellers and learn why some
promising men did good work for a
while, then gradually dropped out
or were asked to drop out of the
organization.
Some of the reasons for the fail-
ure to "make good" were illnesses of
loved ones, domestic troubles, and
financial worries, but the, most fre-
quent cause of failure was ill health.
Walter B. Pitkin, Columbia Uni-
versity, suggests that you study all
the persons you know. Check up on
their careers and on their health.
Then notice their general behaviour.
A man who scores close to 100 per
cent in a medical examination will
possess the following characteristics
of high health.
1. He eats almost any kind of
food with enjoyment, and digests lt
easily.
2. He is not troubled with con-
stipstion.
3. I-lis heart endures Prolonged
exertion éasily.
4. His muscles are firm. hi! Walk
vigorous, and his posture erect.
5. He breathes deeply, and does
extra work easily. `
6. He recovers quickly from ln-
jurles and infections.
7. He recovers quickly from emo-
tional shocks such as fears, worries,
rages, and does not suffer prolong-
ed after-effects.
8. I-le readily forms proper habits
as to eating, sleeping, workin! _Bild
exercise. but he can endure any up-
set in these habits without much
trouble.
9. He has good mental and phy-
sical control. »
How many people could measure
up to this standard of perfect
health? -
The figures are not really avail-
able but there would not be many.
The United States Burzeon Gen-
eral has found that of 1000 men in
the military age group who have
been examined for admission to the
Navy and Marine Corps, no fewer
than 468 had defects which were
serious enough to be entered on the
records, though not serious enough
to cause rejection. Thus small de-
fects in vision, bad teeth, -partial
deafness were not recorded.
_If then nearly half the men in
the prime of life show defects what
can one expect from the country at
large?
Mr. Pitkin tells us that almost
/everybody whose health is above the
average shows it in his general en-
joyment of life, enjoyment of work
or play, his ability tc adjust himself
to circumstances good or bad, his
ability to get along with other p80-
ple.
It might be well if we all "ex-
ami-ned’ ’ourselves to find Out h0W
we would measure up fi”0m thi?
above standpoint.
Champlain’s Astrolabe
(Ottawa Journal)
On this page the other day Mr.
Fred williams, who writes brightly
and informatively on many Sub.i€C'T»5
of historical interest, told of Cham-
plaln's loss of his a5tr0l1ib€ in 8
voyage up the Ottawa river 320
years ago, of its discovery in 1567 by
a Renfrew County farmer, and its
sale to a United States collector.
Some further information on this
instrument now is available. It was
acquired in 1901 by Samuel V. Hoff-
man. of New York, and it was still
in his possession a few years ago.
In 1808 Mr. Hoffman agreed to lend
it to Dr. Doughty, the Dominion
Archivist, for the tercentenary cel-
ebration in Quebec, but Dr. Doughty
feared for its safety under such cir-
cumstances and regretfully declined
the offer. The Archivist has hopes
that eventually this unique souvenir
of the great explorer will become
the property of the Dominion of
Canada and have an honored place
in the Archives, where it belongs.
The astrolabe was the primitive
instrument by which navigators and
explorers took obsevations of the
heavenly bodies, and its origin goes
back thousands of years. some years
ago Mr. Charles Macnamara of
Arnprivr wrote an article for "Field
Naturalist"-a copy of which has
been preserved by Mrs. Agnes Til-
ley,-secretary of the Ottawa Indus-
trial and Publicity committee- eg-
plaining the use of the astrolabe,
and relating in some detail the his.
tory of the one which Champlain
lost. "Essentially," he says, "the
astmlabe consisted of a graduated
circle across the diameter of which
was a movable bar pivcted at the
centre. In use the instrument was
hung plumb, and the body who" gy-
time it was desired' to ascertain
The Lure Of Libraries
A Lmnsnisu onsenvns ms
nn/innas
(L_ M. Dickson in The Bookman)
The lay reader has cometo se-
lect a book at the public library. He
has read but little, and now, other
diversions grown stale or with an
excess of spare time on his hands,
the urge to read comes over him,
and he prepares to select a book-
orie from hundreds of thousands.
This casual reader wanders alm-
lessly from stall to stall, not know-
ing what he wants, not knowing
where to find that which might
interest him. He is plagued by n
seeming confusion of books. of end-
less titles, which ho scans rapidly,
unseeingly. A name appeals to him,
hp takes the book from the shelf
and flits over e. few pages, reading
only enough to convince him that
the book is worthless. uninteresting
and a waste of time.
Another one is rejected like its
predecessor. Up and down, row
after row, shelf after shelf, this
flighty, this irresponsible dabbler
goes with growing irritation.
He is not n connoisseur. Ho is not
looking for something rare or some-
thing new. Neither does he count
the old masters of literature, or the
modem masters. or even the mcd-
em medlocritles, his friends.
He is lost and is searching for
something to divert him for the
moment, for something to lift his
mind from the tedium of humdrum
things, to transport him, no matter
the vehicle, for a short while to a
new atmosphere, and to make his
life and hopes coincide with and
partake of the lives of other more
wonderful people than himself.
Eventually by random. choice he
finds his one among thousands; a
true with 'rt lurid title, rr true with
action in the first sentence, written
in short, crisp phraseology, easy to
read and by an unknown author.
Ho is satisfied.
Next come the insatiable reader
of Western stores; the super-slouth
devotee: the gangster and the
crime tale victim: the imaginative
roamer of the frozen North; the
land-tied sailor; and the sex story
addict. Each one of these comes
with a fixed purpose. 1-le must have
another detective story, or another
sea. story, and his steps lead une!-
ringly to the section where the
greatest abundance of his partic-
ular mental food is stored.
This type of reader leads all
others in number, and swells the
library circulation figures amazing-
ly. They aio the ones who deplete
library shelves, who crowd library
halls and form queues at the ex-
change counters. 'Ilhey read vorac-
iously as long as the supply fs
maintained, and the appetite re-
mains, and tl-iey~are satisfied.
In smaller numbers the readers of
discrimination, the lovers of liter-
ature, appear haunting the library
day and night. They can bc found

angle above the horizon being read
on a scale at the edge of the
circle." In the fine statue of Cham-
plain on Parliament 1-lill an astrol-
abe is held in his hand.
It was in a portage to get around
the succession of rapids above Por-
tage du Fort that the astroiabc was
lost. Mr. Macnamara thinks Cham-
plain was carrying it himself
through the dense bush of' those
days. That was in 1613. and the
story thereupon jumps 254 years to
1867 and a day when Edward George
Lee, then a lad of fourteen, was
helping his father clear land for
Captain Overman of the "Jason
Gould." the Ottawa Forwarding
companys steamboat on Muskrat
Lake. The land was on the second
concession of Ross Township near
Cobden, just below Green Lake.
The boy hitched his ox team in an
old red pine log, and where it had
rested he picked up "a round yel-
low thing nine or ten inches across."
It was Champlain’s astrolabe, un-
touched by human hand for more
than two and one-half centuries.
Captain Overman came along and
Look the instrument away. He gave
it to R.. W. Cassels, of Toronto,
president of the Ottawa Forward-
U18 Company, and in 1901 it wu
permitted to leave the country. This
priceless relic of early canada was
not valued until it had been lost to
the Dominion.

versary of the abolition of slavery
in the Empire and are remembering
that it is just a century since Wil-
berforoe passed away. For a hun-
dred years before Wilberforce, the
Quakers had. been hammering at
the iniquity of slavery, but seem-
ingly were not making much pro-
gress. They had, however, made
converts here and there. In 1772,
Lord Mansfield gave his famous
judgment pronouncing slavery il-
legal in England, and about the
same time Rev. James Ramsay is-
sued the first of his pamphlets de-
nouncng -the institution. Perhaps it
was the Mansfield judgment and
perhaps it was the Ramsay pamph-
lets, but something induced the
vice-chancellor of Cambridge to set
slavery as a subject for a prize
essay. A young student, Thomas
Clarkson, who had intended to en-
ter the church, wrote the essay and
won the prize and became so inter-
ested ln the subject that he aban-
doned his clerical career and de-
voted himself to the war on slav-
ery. Clarkson and Ramsay inter-
ested Wilberforce, and Wilbcrforce,
who was a great friend of the
younger Pitt, interested Pitt and
Fox and Burke.
Wllberforce nrst took up his cam-
paign against the slave trade in
1788 and toiled at its for nineteen

years, until. in March, 1007. the
House of Commons cheered him
enthusiastically when royal nuent
was given the hill abolishing the
trade so for as Britain was con-
cerned. Immediately, Wllberforce
began to work for the abolition of
the slave trade by other countries
and for the abolitan of slavery it-
self. Denmark had already abol-
ished the trade, the United States
as Britain did, and Bweden, Hol-
land, France and Spain followed.
Portugal, which was heavily inter-
ested in the traffic, held out until
1830.
Poor health forced Wilberforce to
give up his campaign against slav-
ery in 1825, but his colleagues car-
ried on under the leadership of Sir
Powell Buxton, and the great Liber-
ator learned three days before his
death on July 29, 1883, that the
Aboliton Bill had passed its second
reading. The bill became law in
August and Parliament voted £20,-
000,000 to compensate owners for
the slaves who were released. Ac-
tion against slavery had been taken
in Canada many years before. In-
fluenced by Sir John Graves Sim-
coe, the govenror, the first Legis-
lature of Upper Canada at its .sec-
ond session in 1783 had passed an
act forbidding the importation of
slaves into the colony, limiting the
time during which a slave could be
bound to nine years and providing
that all children born in slavery
should become free on attaining the
age of twenty-one.
The slave trade, whichlnsled for
250 years before it was abolished,
gave rise to a tremendous amount
of bloodshed and suffering. It is
estimated that altogether about
nine million blacks were wrenched
from their African homes and
transported to America and that
two or three lives were sacrificed for
every black that reached the plan-
tations. Slavcry itself, for all the
work of Wilberfcrce and the other
abolitioniste, has not, unhappily,
been entirely abolished yet. There
are yet, it is estimated, five mi -

slaves in the world. But the --
