DU’ fill’ advance) TUESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1929 WHY THE DELAY? i ' Early in July-to be exact, on the hid of that month—_the assurance was given by Bir Henry Thornton. president of the Canadian National Railways, that within a few days tenders would be called for the new car ferry. and that the building of the steamer would shortly be under way. 'I'h¢ few days have lengthened into months. and no word has since "been received as to the progress of the work. If the contract has been let. flue public know nothing of it. It is not even known whetheinten- ‘ders have been called for. The Liber- al representatives and the Liberal press have been strangely silent on the subject ever since Sir Henry's visit, and it is surely time that some explanation of the extraordinary de- lay was given to the public. The as- Qflee was given in Parliament that everything possible would be done to have the new steamer ready for the reason of 1930, and Sir Henry Thorn- ton's statement on the occasion of hi: K to Charlottetown raised _the hope; o1 our peopk who have been looking forward to this much needed mprovement in tranhlortation ser- vice. In view of the urgent need of the new steamer, it is surely not too much to ask that our federal repre- sentatives and our Provincial Gov- ernment bestir themselves and insist upon reasonable haste being madein completing the plans and beginnlns building operations. If there has been any hitch in the IauQIlQGITLQHIS. the public should be informed of it at once. OUR. PUBLIC ROADS \ - The tourist season is now coming to a. close. Many of our visitors have left us and others are P11981111! m follow. While the number of visit- . ors showed an increase over that 0f former years. it is quite evident, judging by reports from our sister Provinces, that we have not had our gal;- proportion of Canada's tourist business this year. One cause at least is not far to seek. It has been winged out, by visitors and referred to in the press of our sister provinces. This hindrance has been the condi- tion of our main highways "W" withstanding frequent warnings in the press and by citizens interested in developing our tourist business. the main highways have been per- gjgtentiy neglected. while BDOIWi-i“ for the Government have been loud- ly declaring that the roads this year are the best we have ever had. What inference our visitors may draw “m” forts to persons who are educable. and he defines his limitation accordingto the Greek standard. Educat‘ ac- cording io this was training in the art of living. "The reason that Greeks did things IOI‘ ouHun. in science and thought. in literatureand art; the reason that they shaped Euiopean civilisation, and continue to shape it, in so many directions, is that they kept this main mu, in view. They never, as a Latin poet puts it, gave up, in order to live, all that makes life worth while." Industrlalism has not changed the situation. according to this writer. neither is there any differentiation between rural and urban. The ob- ject of education remains the same and that is training to live "well and nobly and gaiiy." "Education in school and collate consists. flrst, in equipping a stu- dent with certain tools and after he has these of allowing him to use them to dig up for himself some of ‘the first-rate things that his pre- decessors, early and late. have left as a possession for all time . . . It is these things, the first-rate productions in these fields. that a. man must appreciate and under- stand if he is to live well. Not all of them. perhaps, but some of them. We can call a man educat- ed if he knows first-rate things in art and literature alone, or if he knows the wonders of science alone, or if he is a m thematician or‘ a... philosopher. Bu the truth is that really educated people have not specialized too much. On this con- tinent it will be objected that only a very few people wouldever go to college at all if this were the cur- riculum. Very true. And this is precisely what is needed. Very few people are interested in first-rate things . . .. If one is not interest- ed in any sort of excellence what good will he get from a. university, and what good will the university get from him’! Whenever you hear that a university is crowded with students. you may be sure that the university has forgotten its purpose. That is how most of the so-called financial dimcultles of education come about." The writer concedes that a business executive or a mining engineer might be an educated man, but contends that business and mining per se have nothing to do with education. the,” reiterated declaraticms Would not be hard to guess- If the tourist business in this Pro- vince is to be developed. the first step must be the conditioning of the w“, between Borden, Charlottetown and Summerside.

"There will never be any lack of practical people to dig mines, and build bridges, but there have been- periods in the history of the world when there were no educated men and unfortunately it is the presence or absence of this small fraction of the community which determines whether the community shalL con- tinue.

I do not for a moment de- cry trade schools and technical schools and agricultural schools. ‘It would be the sheerest stupidity for a. society not to avail itself of the help that such institutions can give, But these things are not uni- versities and must never be con- ceived of as educational institu- tions. They teach how to make a living. they do not teach how m live. Indeed, insofar as they train men to hoe and answer a certain narrow set of problems only, they may be said to cramp the intelli- gence. But true thought and true science have no immediate end in view . . . Beethoven's music, and Shakespeare's plays, the atomic theory of Democritus. and the solar theory of Aristarchus and Copern- icus. all these were thoughts that wandered through Eternity with no practical object in view."

It is to be added that he is not a manufact- urer. We believe that he utters the opinion of the fair-minded ‘ ‘ ns of Canada, whether Conservatives or Liberals." It is a high calling to which the Conservative Chieftain has been call- ed, to elevate the standard of public life in Canada. And not for personal or for party reasons or advantage has the task been undertaken. No fair- minded individual who knows R. B. Bennett, doubts his abilityjthe full- ness of his information, his earnest sincerity. or his British-Canadian patriotism. And in the calm between elections all parties listen with in- tercst to his deliverances and are impressed by them. His opponents admit that he has made friends wherever he has spoken on the Wes- tern coast. What the Panama Canal is to the United States the Sues Canal is to‘ the British Empire, remarks the New York Times. The control of the Suez Canal centreiin the control of Egypt. From this comes the anxiety of Aus- tralia and New Zealand about the in- crease independsnce of Egypt. Their fear is now as before thewar, that Egypt may fall under the domination of some power hostile to Great Britain and that the canal might be interfered with_ in case of hostili- ties. p‘ i Trafllc through Suez last June was almost l0 per cent greater than it was in June of last year, and it was also greater than the Panama tramc which had ici- a‘- time led the earlier canal in its yearly business. The total volume of British trade which passes through Suez to Australia, New Zea- land, India and the Far East is much greater than the United States trade via Panama this year. Were Suez blocked by a hostile force the effect "P011 seaborne trade within the Em- pire would _be disastrous, and this possibility has aroused strong hostil- ity in Great Britian and the south- ern Dominion against the Egyptian treaty.

Angry bees at- tacked valuable foxes On the ranch of Joseph Gobeii on Thursday last and stung them so badly that 13 of them died. Gobeil suffered a loss of about $8.000, as the pelts are almost worthless at this season of the year. He was working around his apiary as usual in the morning when some un- known reason the bees swarmed out of the hives and attacked him, sting- ing him severely, and then flew into the ranch nearby. Hundreds of the bees settled" on the foxes, causing them to dish wildly about the en- closure. "- Bees often sting bears profuaily, as bears are vary fond of sweets and rob bee hives, but bniin appears to be sting proof. i . "I have an ‘acid tongue. but abig heart," 811d Rt. Hon.
