However, cduca ion was continually engaged in battle, in a war against ignor- ance and inefficiency, Mr. Shaw states. 4 The Superintendent thought teachers had a greater burden than they should have although they were _the most important fen‘ ure in school life. “We have a wrong idea of school," he said. It should be made up or play. art. music and literature. They are the things that make his worth while. “Art and mus c are the real stuff of edu- cation.” Another great educwfonal need in this province was for co-opera ation between the teacher and the hcme. That. CO-Cp51'€!.tl0l'l was ex- huidy neofisary. How to break the line between the home and school was a difficult undertaking in min)’ cases.

Coady in his opening remarks paid tribute to the work of the Island Institutes and told the delegates that they had in this Province probably the ‘finest spot in North America. “You have ii mission to perform not only for yourselves but for the ‘rest of Canada," he told them. He came, he said. to talk over the vital issue of the adult edu- cation movement. ‘ First he mentioned the need for adult education. The movement is icloscly associated with education l in general which is something ‘which prepares for life. In a program under a dictator, «,i\'licro a plan is worked out by ‘some one in absolute authority, icducatlon does not loom so big. As time goes on education is be- ing looked at from a more realistic ‘standpoint. It should be a prepar- later life. he Sllld. “We are definitely come to the point where education should be co-terminous with every clay life. To do anything else would be un- fair to ourselves and our country," the speaker claimed. It is a practicable, possible thing to educate grown up people. Many do not believe it is practicable or they did not in the past. Those who hold the view have a low es- timate of democracy and have a poor concept of human nature. “If it is an impossibility I say we may as well say goodbye to democracy," he claimed. “While we are debating the ques- tion we have the greatest experi- ment in adult education bsing car- ried on by the C.‘l‘nfl‘ll1I‘lleiS. They are instructing the common, and the commonest of the common. in the principles of our economic life- They are at work in Canada and the United States. At present they have a difficult time because they have so much opposition but they are bent on educating Canada, the United States and all the world in the ideas of Communism," Dr. Coady went on to tell the meeting. The rest of the people sit back and do nothing. All the educated people sit at home during long winter evenings and do nothing to improve themselves or others. The Communists will \Vlll be- cause they have faith, not mirltunl faith but faith that they will suc- ceed with their objects. There is no doubt about the feas- ibility of the scheme of iidult edu- cation. It not only is able to be done but it is actually being done. How to Proceed Now as how to proceed, The work was attempted in Nova Sco- tia where they were short in man power and finances, Dr. Candy said. The adult education schcmc had been worked for many years in Antigonish and in 1928 they decided to branch out. The people. principally farmers and fishermen. were scattered so they naturally turned to the little groups and it turned out to be he scientific way. for edults learn best. it has been found, in small groups. The small- er clubs were grouped into larger ones which met once a month and the larger ones in turn were ar- ranged in still larger federated groups, which met in annual ses- sion. From farmers and fishcrmcn the next step was to begin the work in industrial areas and then to work with the women. In the lat- ter work, which is very important. great progress is being made. Sweden has been conducting an adult study circle movement for many years and they too use the small group. From 5 to 15 to each group is considered as ideal, the speaker said. Dr. Coady reviewed the work in Sweden. There they claim no na- tional organization will ever be worthwhile unless the member! are grouped into small groups. In Sweden today they have sev- en national organizations. includ- ing temperance, agriculture, fish- eries and so on. The Americans in their work have been very strong on mass keeping women everywhere needed liheiipllitofurtincrdertoremun immune iram household drudgery.

Dr. Coed: am. A recently publlnhld book, "The Middle W01." tells the story. In the movement in the Unlfld sum they started witb.,fl‘_‘f‘l:; ‘L. battles of life when we start In adult education movement," Dr. Goody declared.‘ "it you want I. great Canada or a great Prince Edward Island you want someone to go out and mo- bilize the people and release the energy which -is in them," he con- tinued. "That is what adult educa- tion is. It may be economics today. literature tomorrow, music or something else the next day. “If we fI.il to realize our cap- abilities we in that extent have not lived. That is one of the great tragedies of human’ life. That was Grey‘: idea when he wrote the "Elegy in ii Country Churchyard." We should see that every boy and girl lives to the fullest extent it is in them to do. The greatness of us as a nation will be measured in terms of how we are able to take up the stock of opportunities as they offer. The same idea ap- plies to individuals," the educa- tionist claimed. If a nation is cursed with men of no vision the people suffer as a consequence. It has happened in other countries and is happening in this country. “To be sure that we are not miss- ing opportunities we must be or- ganized and ready all the time. We should be organized and in a positlno to think straight. It is re- markable how many people are crooked thinkers. It is as prevalent among the educated as among the more illiterate." Medicine is the only realm in which man up to the present time is able to think straight, he told. If a man does not think straight and accept the findings of science he pays the penalty perhaps with his life. There was a. time when one na- tion did not care whether the people in other countries were hav- ing a. hard time, but it is coming to the point in the world's history where “we are our brothers keep- crs." Nations are all one big fam- ily in the human race and if any part suffers it hurts all. In this country it is the business of each person to help those who are in difficulties. Every ounce of energy and brains of the people of Canada isneedcdso that the niitlon will be able to st.i'.id up against the corrodlng influence of the destructive movements of to- may. Adult education builds character. The weakest link in a dictatoi:s‘.iip is that it does not take into un- sidcration the human factor. l'he:e is only one way of making a great nation and that is by having the people work out their own problems. “Our boys and girls will be great if we let, them do great things and work out their destinies," the speak- er said in conclusion. Address On Music Rev. Mr. Mccleary in beginning his address on music told how he had been delighted with the ad- dress of Di‘. Coady. “Unless we have education we will spell evolution with an ‘r’ he de- clrired. With regard to music, he made r.n appeal to the delegates to develop in the three counties a musical les- tivul to be held once ll year with a iiiial one in Charlottetown for the whole Province. In that way a har- mony would be dcvcloped through- out the whole province. It was done in Northern Ontario where he lab- ored. Hc had little use for art for art's sckc. It is of little use unicss it means something. Music s not being exploited enough today and should be taught more in the schools, he thought. At the close of the meeting. on request, he led the meeting in a spirited and enthusiastic sing song. CANADKANIZATION AND NATIONAL EVENTS Madame President and Delegates: Since we last met in CDn\'€l‘|t10n. our hearts, and the hearts of all true Canadians. have been touched and drawn closer together by the passing of a great and good man- Klng George the Fifth. We remem- ber cvcn yet that subtle something which for fl, spzicc scorned to unite all the peoples of the earth into one great family. M they bzwed to- gzthcr in respsctful tribute to the memtry of one who by linking his ll fcivith the omnipolent Power that rules the universe has born able to win fl place among the nations un- iquc in the world's history. It was It never-to-be-forgotten moment when cur announcers with tense hushed voices said: "The King is dead! Long live the Kingl" Im- mediately our hearts’ ailoglence was pledged to the first-barn of our (land sovereign—th‘.s young man whose career had been launched on such turbulent waters——thls young King with his far-flung influence over the lives of men. Today we ask ciirscivcs: "How best can we serve him in our little c;rncr of his vast dominicns? How can we help make his Empire great?"—and we are reminded that "true goodness in true greatness." Many of the Island women seem to have caught the idealistic spirit of our departed King. and as the questionnaires have c.\ne in. I was surprised by the earnest thought that seems to have beengiven them. so many splendid ideas are ex- pressed that it would take much more time than I have at my dis- n:Aal to mention them all. To the first question, as to whe- ther or not Canada is becoming more wicket, more than half an- swered "Yes." Seventy percent claimed that intempenncc and its cauequent immorality no toblnmc for thiti. Jlnny think that unem- ployment and enforced idleness give timo for may Md v|‘|°'-‘°°5- THE cnARL0'i‘ri':ruwN ' GUARDIAN cigarette ._ ’ .05 nmonl women and girls." Almost without exception the remedy suggested in. “Ask the Government for stricter enforcement of the Prohibition law. and have the tench of the evil effects of these pi-ac cos cumpul- sory stressed in our schools." Many ‘maintain that the chief menace to our younc people is the lack of christian training in the homes and the growing habit. of using Sunday as a. holiday instead of I holy day. There seems to be a general idea that, in our quest for pleasure. our natures are becoming lop-sided due t3 the fact that we are neglecting the spiritual side, so necesary to the well-rounded life of man. Impure literature and questionable movies were also men- tioned and stricter censorship ad- vocated. In an excellent paper from Heatherdale, it is suggested that parents should strive to have their children follow high ideals. not by the use of restraint and re- pressltn. but by a sympathetic com- radeship with them. and by setting them a blameless example in our own lives. ' To turn to good account the en- forced idleness of our young peo- ple, and at the some time to im- prove their health and morals, the study of music and the composftlm of good poetry and prose might be taken up much more extensively than at present. The beneficial ef- fects of good music on the health and morals has long been recogniz- ed by doctors and educat:rs, and good poetry also has 9. refining soothing» effect. Several of the questionnaires mentioned having had roll—call answered by names of Canadian authors. but no one mentioned having had Island writers. The names of several cf these are already familiar to us all —-Lucy Maud Montgomery. Basil King.—and I suppose you all know of others by whose words you have at some time sen thrilled. I wonder how many of you have been interested in the poems and sh:rt articles published in our dail- ies from time to time. from the pen of Mr. F. H. MacArthur. of Lorne Valley. Here are a few lines from a poem entitled Canada. which I lhlnk you will enjoy, and which seems very appropriate: On hcr bosom have been cradted Lives that reached the heights of fame; still the fate of many millions Guards she in her vast domain: watchful ever of their welfare, Rlghting wr-rigs of darker years. Bravely looking towards the fu- ture, with its hopes and doubts and fears, Reaching out for high ldeals—— Peace and justice is her aim. Till her loyal sons and daughters Rise to bless her honored name. History courses in the schools may be used to inspire gocd citi- zenship by having pupils note at- trblutes or qualities of good citi- zenship in historical characters. in particular the nation's leaders. Pu- pils and teachers might make his- tory scrap-books, containing pic- tures iuid articles on the nation's lenders, both past and present. An- nlversaria of national events sh-uld be observed and their sig- nificance noted. The spirit of true patriotism should inspire us to be zood citizens of the world. Our love for our own country should never interfere with our love for man- kind as n wh-_le. We should desire to make our own country the greatest country in the world. but not unless it contributes to the sum total of happiness and prosperity. We are especially glad that Prince Edward Island was this year able to send a delegate to the Confer- ence of the Associated Country Wsmen of the World at Washing- ton. We feel sure that these ivom- en wiil do what they can to “spread the spirit of intcmaticnal harmony and plead the cause of friendship" between the peoples of the earth,so that they may allow themselves to be led down that third road,—the broad, cheerful, friend-lined high- way built by the good-will cf na- lions. I wish to extend my sincere thanks to all who by filling out and returning tlieir questionnaires have helped me to prepare this report. As the paper from Red Point In- stitute so truly says; “We women have a part to play. and A large part. in the making of good Cuna- dian citi'.7ens.“ And in a recent cdlt:rial in one of our Island pap- crs we read: "Today it is generally realized that rt woman is not only a perssn, but also a citizen." From the Institute at Fredericton comes this mcssazc: "We are integral units of society. The Government is not something: to support, us, we must support the Government." N1 Gcvernmcnt. however willing, can enforce a law without supporters imong the people. It is through these questionnaires that we can find expression, and make our voice heard. The con- victions of a large number of rcp- rcsentrit’.ve w:men, who are thor- oughly in earnest and alive to the issues of the day, cannot be ignor- ed. Then why not take advantage of your questionnaires? Perhaps never before has our country been faced with such dread possibilities as at present. The un- rest in Europe. caused by the greed for power, combined with the un- acrupulousness cf certain of its rulers. sometimes causes one to wonder just waht the future may hold for us on this side of the At- lantic. "And what can we do about it?" you say. ‘Nothing, excqit to use all our lnflu'enoe and intelli- gence to help make our people truly worthy to be called citizens of our great Dominion. Than will they be prepared for any eventuality. MRS. IVAN‘ IDCKIMFPER nor. UNIHPLOYID JAILIII (0. P.

P. by Guiu-dla.n's Special wire) KENTVILLE, N. s., July l4— Roaring flames fed with gasoline and oil were extinguished .n the most approved manner today by members of tho Mnritlmc Fire Chiefs‘ Axociatlon in annual con- vention here. 'I‘l.'2 fire attracted hundreds of spcctnctors who saw it demon- stration of modern equipment and efficient methods. "Your are i~‘.a-ring: a |E3.1lf\ni’. part in aitcmpting -to curb the fire menace.“ Premier Macdonald told the chiefs as he welcomed them to Nova scotia. "Every young boy wants to be a fireman when he grows up, prob- ably because the fireman has not only a sipectactilar job but a very useful one as well. The fire waste rims into untold millions annual- ly, and the amount of damage grows with‘ ‘civilization. As people move clcstr together the menace grows greater.” The afternoon was given owr to the demnstration find an cxrhunzfi of ideas. and tonight the chiefs attended a, banquet presided over by Chief Walter O'Blt-nes of Moncton, president of the assoc- iatlon.

At the afternoon session eleven witnesses gave tes- timony as the defense presented its case. In all thirty-two persons have testified since the trial open- ed Thursday morning. The case will go to the jury today, it is ex- pected. A summary of evlden heard yesterday follows: ‘ Summary of Evidence J. Anthony Reardon, civil en- gineer with the local Department of Public Works, who had given evidence previously and submitted a. plan testified that he had drawn the plan to scale. Questioned by iM.r. Shaw he gave additional evid- ence as to distances indicated on the plan. The nearest telephone post east of the mark in the bank was ap- proximately 35 feet, he said. From a point on the road opposite the furthest west of two posts. close together in the school fence, to the mark on the bank on the south side of the road was approximate- ly 110 feet. Cross examined by Mr. Johnston the witness said the school grounds were 200 feet long. It would be most difficult for anyone driving along the right hand side of the road from the east towards the west to locate the school until abreast of the lane. By that ime a person would be in front of the school grounds. Spurgeon Jenkins. R.C.M.P. con- stable, testified he saw a car taken on May 18, 3982 registration num- ber. He examined the car. The right front fender was dinged and the right. headlight broken. The right side of the windshield was shattered. On the outside of the windshield in front of the driver there were some spotters of blood as though it had been sprayed there. Inside the car there was a fish- ing rod, a jack handle and in the receptacle on the dash some can- celled checks. an empty ginger ale bottle, a glass, and a package of cloves. Frederick Cordwell, R..C.M.P. corporal, told of investigating an accident at Bunbury on the even- ing of May 18. He gave certain measurements he made. On the lath he found glass on the north. side of the road about 15 yards from the centre line of the school. On the south side of the road there were marks on the road and immediately to the south was a sod 4 feet long and 2 feet wide lengthwise to the road. There were two other sods 20 by 10 inch- es and 22 by 13 inches. There was a three strand wire fence along the road. The sods were on the inner side of the fence. The larger sod wighed 125 pounds, the two smaller ones 30 pounds. The sods were tak- en to the R.C.M.P. barracks. They were produced in court. The witness measured the dis- tancc from a point in front of the school to a circle of foot prints on the road and found it 59 feet_6 inches. From the circle of foot print: to the tire marks in the bank was a distance of 52 feet. From the wire fence in front of the school to the centre of the road was 14 feet. From a point 73 yards east of a post on the southeast corner of the school grounds the witness had a good view of the southern portion of the school grounds. From a post 38 yards east of 0. post on the south eastern extremity of the school grounds he had a good view of the school house it.- self and the grounds. He examined the car and found on the right hand side the fender and bumper were driven in on the whcel. The radiator had been driv- en in with a. tendency towards the left hand side. The centre of the bumper was bent. On the left headlight the glass and two bulbs were broken and the frame dinged. The right side did not come in contact with the bank. The right hand front fender had a. number of specks of blood on it. and on the windshield immediately in front of the driver there were also some specks of blood. The witness produced photo- graphs of the scene of the accid- ent, taken on May 28. They were all taken from the centre of the road. cross examined by Mr. Johnston the witness told he did not make the maximum measurement in any case. The witness told in reply to - " byMr.“ ‘ - that; boy had been knocked off I bl- c clo when it’ was in collision with on dnven by the witness who was going to get I member of the coroner‘: jury.

He had been driving lit the day before and didn't notice my difference in it. At some time after ten he gave the car to his-son, Hill. who hailed the witness on the street and asked if the witness was through. His sontoldtlinthowugofngtotnko Mr. Mcnellan to St. Andrews. He did not see his son between then and the accident. The witness had been driving the car every day before that around town. and did not notice anything wrong with the brakes. The crown did not cross exam- ine the witness. Dominic Doyle, sergeant of po- lice, Chariot ‘ . remembered the lath of May. He saw the oc- cused that day. The witness was standing at the Capitol Theatre comer and the accused pulled up and said "do you wait a. trip to St. Andrews." Mr. Geo. Mobelhn was with him. The witness looked at his watch and said it was too near to dimer time, so did not go. The accused said he was coming right back. He stated this and went east towards I-Illlsboro Bridge. The Crown had no questions. Accused Gives Evidence William E. Phillips, the accused. H Charlottetown contractor, told of getting the car from his father to drive George Mclicllan to St. An- drews, and of asking Sergeant Doyle and Mr. Conway to go along. It was too near dinner time and they didn't go. The witness and Mr. McLellan proceeded to St. An- drews. He described the road they took through Bunbury to Mt. Stewart to st. Andrews. At St. Andrews they called at the Par- ochial House where they remained not more than ten minutes. They came back on the same road they went out. The road was fairly dry except in low places where there were a considerable number of mud pud- dies. There was a low place be- tween Johnston’s River Bridge and Webster's Corner. Through Plsquid there are some steep hills and he came down them without difficulty, he told. He was driving at a moderate rate of speed. They went the south side way becnuse he understood work wu being done on the St. Peter's Road. As they came through Eunbury he was driving not over 30 miles an hour. when he got almost to the bushes on the east side of Duffy's lane he saw a little girl run out on the road. He was on the right hand side, the north side of the road. The child ran three quarters of the way over the road. He thought he had room to pass and kept going on his side. Just when he was about up to her she turned around and went directly in front of his car. He pulled his car as hard to the left as he could, but struck her. The witness thought that after he struck the child he lost control of the car and ran into the bank. When the car hit the bank the witness's head struck the wheel of the car and cut his fore- head ; bit, and sort of dazed him. McI.cllan's head hit the wind- shield and smashed it. His head was protected by a big tweed cap. As he came to the bank he did not notice any traffic on the road. When he got out of the car the witness saw a horse and wagon up agnlnsthls car. He went over to where the child was lying on the road. Mr. Wendell Mutch and the school teacher, Mcbellan and some school children came over also.
