ANNUAL SCll00L MEETING i The annual school meetings will be held through- out the province next Tuesday, the 20th instant. During the pastyear or more many imporllllll meetings have been held in this province, meetings which had under consideration the very life of the Eni- pire itself, our relation to that life and our responsi bility in its defence. Tuesday’s meetings will be, ‘if possible, of even greater importance still. They will _ have under consideration, and will decide, matters touching not only the life and the future of the Empire but the life and the future of the sons and daughters of our own province. Provision will be made for the schools during the coming year- and incidentally dur- ing all the years to come, for the school years are so interwoven that one cannot be neglected or detachedi without serious injury to what should be a continuous chain of etliicatioii 'l`h¢ school meetings this year will have to deal with nt-w conditions. There is a serious scarcity of teachers owing to the fact that so many of the young men in thc profession and in training for it have enlist- ed Up io the present about eighty teachers have en- listed and the number who have since qualified are not sufficient to fill the gaps. _ If the school districts, however, rise to the occas- ion these gaps inay be almost, if not completely filled. It is iiccessary that better provision be made than here- tofore for supplementing the teachers’ salaries. Dis-I tricts expecting reasonably qualified and competent teachers must be prepared to offer them reasonable in- ducements in the way of salaries, otherwise they -will he obliged to go without teachers or with young and inexperienced ones. To allow any of the schools to deteriorate would be a very serious thing for the pro- vince but especially so for the children of the districts* aiiecit-il, :intl it is sincerely hoped that our people this year will put forth extra efforts to meet conditions which, if not niet in the proper spirit ,,many. With the outbreak of war,_`h0wever, the soci- “alists became submerged in the wave of patriotism ricts animals are still allowed to roam the roads and to visit their neighbors’ fields. necessitating the keeping up ol' expensive fences, endangering ‘life and property at night when cattle and hogs persist in sleepirig on the middle of the road. The general welfare of the school district should receive an airing at the annual school meetings and it is hoped that this year, memorable in so many ways, will be memorable also in-seeing_ the beginning of a greater and healthier interest in the schools. I - --->»=< _ . GERMAN SUCIALISTS that swept the Fatherland and those who previously had declaimed against war either took to arms or be- came silent. There is a remnant still left which makes a thorn for the German side. Usually the remnant is obliged to keep its opinion to itself 'but still a renmant of the remnant remains. There are two Germans -at least who still hold to their view of \var and right- eousness. These twoare (Dr. Kai;l~Liebknecht, the Socialist leader in the Reichstag and Maximilian Harden, probably the -most widely known of German journalists at home and abroad. In a r_ecent issue our despatches told of the Tar- rest of the former, Dr. Karl Liebnecht for seditionf' his crime consisting of stating in a May Day speech that the Government had brought on an unjustifiable war. He had made similar statements in the Reich- stag only to be howled down, but when he attempted it outside of the bounds of parliament and without parliamentary privileges, lie was arrested and it is likely the case will be pressed hard against him. .\laxin'1ilian Harden has never shown as much respect for the German Government or for German inilitarisni as for his own opinions which he expressed fearlessly before and since the ivar. The very per- sonal friends of the Kaiser have suffered at his hands and been driven into private life by his exposures of moral rottenness in high circles. Now he is hitting vigorously in another direction and his ivords have a terrible sting, because of their truthful- ness. The German foreign ministry he charges with responsibility for the war, and in his widely read Die Zukunft he gives the proofs. In a recent issue, which is reported to have been suppressed, he charges that the conspiracy against peace began in 1911, and the .\-foroccan incident was one of the signs. From that clay, he tells the German people, the evil influence con- tinued. Great Britain’s efforts to reach an under- standing to preserve the peace met with rebuff every time they were advanced. Even at th eleventh hour Sir Edward Grey desperately endeavored to avoid a and with the necessary precautions, have in them pos- sibilities for serious injury to the future men and wo- men of our province. lii the past our itiinnal school meetings have been left too nnich in the hands of the few'and these, lack- ing tlie support and the sympathy of the majority, have natiirally hesitated about- and in many cases refrain-I ed from-lauiicliing out into undertakings for the bet- terment of the schools. \Ve trust that this year will see a change for the better in this respect, Let every ratcpaper be present, not to criticize or to oppose neces- sary expenditures bitt to stand by and support tliosc who are working for the betterment of~'tlie schools; to voic the necessary funds not grudgiiigly or peiiurious- ly but as generously as the district can afford and as the future wellbeing of the children will ,justi fy. There is no other outlay that has in it so much of wholesome promisc;. for the future as that made in our schools and no penuriousness that so effectually mortgages the future as that exercised in connection with them. /\t this annual meeting also tnany other matters of special interest to the district generally are to be dealt with, which should not be left to the decision of the few biitin which every ratepayer in the district should have a voice. Among these the annual byelaw relating to the riiiiniiig at large of animals on the roads and the provision to be made against such will be voted on_` It is to be regretted that in at least a few school dist- break, fully realizing the horrors that would come if ‘iis efforts failed., The British minister suffered poig- _iantly under the spectre of the impending terror and still feels the tragedy, says Harden. Ambassador Gos- :lien was also most diligent in his efforts to avert the outbreak and bt;ol 3lines of "Boy’_s Suits, consisting of about `2‘_50,sizes f T i°;",\v(M -"~ '_ __ ‘ _ from8yrs. to 1§ -with Kmcker Pants,_man_y havingthe- _, / 1'. ,--__ _ _ _ ,ff ' govern band, ........_.....3.49and4.49 .icy 1 _ 1 1 _ _ .4 7;- - _ L _ _ abaut“50 Khaki Suits for Soldier BUYS. to fit: lad- ,§' “ “ ' ' ~ r”'~°-"T - up_ to 12 years only.

Another Hankel' says: "We hesitate to loan iii eases where the business would be effected iii event, of the death of the insured."
