Poetry — that is to say great pticlt'_\'—llils in every age been a drug on the market, for the simple reason that many people find it dull and unintelligible. lint the “expert? attending the recent meet- ing of the National Council of Teachers of Eng- lish do not themselves profess to dislike Mil- ton's poetry. Tihe dislike exists in the uncritical minds of "some youngsters in the classroom"; and it is their "individual tastes" that should be considered. The obvious deduction from this is that there is no standard of literary judgment, no need of establishing any standard, and no reason why the National Council of Teachers of English should exist at all. jack is as good as his master. The old-fashioned teacher of English though? otherwise. Ile conceived it to be his duty to fort/i his students’ tastes, not to pander to their crude likes and dislikes.

Dr_ Manioi: gave a public tnidertaking to co-opcratc to the limit with the Government in such of its efforts as might be directed to the carrying out of Canada's war programme. Stibseqticntly it was derided at the Conservative caucus to “shut up shop” so far as active organization was con- cerned, and from then till the present time the headquarters of the National Conservative party it Ottawa have been closed. Now, according to advices from Ottawa, all this is to be changed. and {lCllVC work iii the direction of reorganiza- tion is to be tindertziken immediately by the Federal Conservative leaders. 'l‘wo reasons are given in explanation of this renewed activity in Opposition circles.

M King has intimated that the need of an Opposition prevents him from undertaking to organize a war time Coalition Government. He has also announced that his Government is opposed to any extension of the statutory life of the present Parliament. These statements. taken together, mean that there must be an elec- tion within the next few months, and that it is to witness a keen rivalry as between the major political parties in their respective bids for of- fice. The expectation is that polling will take place in June or July at latest. The campaign, however, is going to be made as brief as pos- , sible, and to this end an amendment of the elec- tion law is said to be in contemplation, so as to make polling possible within four weeks of dis- solution. The outlook therefore is for an early and complete reversion to dynamic politics of the old-fashioned kind. - EDITURIAL NUIES Those at sea all reqtiire t0 be specially re- iueinbercd at the various church services to- morrow. ii i Compared ivitli the corresponding week last year, the week now closing is away ahead so far as business is concerned l‘ 15 II‘ Ii I l juue Austen born this date, 1775 - “I am afraid," replied Elinor, “that the pleasantness of an employment does not always evince its pro- priety.” 1R if It! i During the period October 1 to October 28, there were 17,338 head of cattle, of 700 pounds or more, imported into the United States from Canada, representing 42.97 pcr cent of the qtiota for the fourth quarter of the calendar year. m v =- r Mr. Alfred Scadding of Moose River Mine fame has returned to the scene of his disaster with two new associates in the hope and ex- pectation of making good as a miner, but the Front all accounts there is more political ttii- rest and dissatisfaction among Liberals than controversy between them and the Conserva- tives, judging by the difficulties the (iovern- ineiit are eticotintering in getting their by-elec- tions settled.

The control will affect the price to be paid by Canadian con- sutners as well as the price the farmers re- ceive, while thc British consumers wilbbe prp- tected by the price set in Britain. Prices will more per hog than in the other seasons. etisure a steady flow of bacon to the British market and to ensure also a fair price to farm- ers and consumers in this country an elaborate system 0f control is being planned by the fed- cral Department of agriculture. This scheme is made necessary by the tigrectiient between Bri- tain and (Ituiada whereby the former country will take nearly 5,000,000 potuids weekly and also in view of the fact that early in the new ycar the British people will be rationed oii bacon and similar footlstttffs. 1 ll‘ They are not niincing what is at stake in France as the consequence of this aggression on the part of llitlcr and Co. l)r.
