sible, by the glamour of recent;
achievements.
The Speech with which His Excel-
lency the Governor General opened
the present session hints at railway
extension east and west. Parliament
will be asked "to authorize the acqui- 
sition of certain railways in both
`,eastem_ and westem Canada. which
win constitute potentially important

act is to be amended so as to give

and the Elections Act.

WHY FAILUBES?
An American educationalist makes
the declaration that there should be
no failures in a well taught school,
and that the school system itself is
at fault if children are sent out into
tl.e world feeling that they cannot
make good in any line of effort. This
statement is made in view of the fact
that over 1,000,000 boys and girls in
the schools of the United States are
classified under the "failed".head-'
ing. The editor of the Joumal
of the National Education Associa-
tion says that this is “the crime eter-
nal against childhood" and that the
school of tomorrow will not consider
its task complete "until all children
of school age are fltiedsuccessfully
into the activities of citizenship and
: .ocation."
Standards of attainment as pre-
scribed in the average school are un-
most inhuman, with respect to the
, Jldlvldual pupil. But the time should
,riot be far distant when the schools
.will undertake to teach succw for
each pupil according to his talent.
The child of the future will not bc
oranded by a. mark of failure. On
the contrary. the thought of all con-
cerned will be centered upon helping
him to succeed up to the highest
possible standard of which he himself
is capable. The teacher will seek
» to discover what talents the individ-
ual pupll possesses and to guide each
ln developing his capacity.
ACCIDENTALS.
The "unloaded" gun has killed
more people than the one that was
f known io be loaded. automobile ac-
cidents on straight roads are surpris-
ingly frequent. Fatalities from ani-
; mais that have been believed to be
l quiet and harmless are by no means
1 uncommon. It is those parts of ma-
; chinery supposed to be “safe" and
‘consequently left unguarded that
cause accidents and fatalities. In
fact, it is the unexpected that gen-
eraliy happens. Accidents are never
expected. But they have an uncanny
way of cropping up when we have
been luiled into false security. There
is always tile unknown quantity to
be reckoned with. The moral is ob-
vious but of little use. If we knew
certain things were going to happen.
we could prevent them. There is,
however, a. margin of-caution which
all wise men and women observe, To
the young and inexperienced this
margin is a very narrow one, but
years and experience usually tend to
widen it. Caution pushed to an ex-
treme on one side may lead to dan-
ger on the other. "I will carry my

When Mussolini appoinied a com-

called the fifteen Solons, but they
did their work fairly well. They
feared that putting the state on a
basis of trade guilds or corporations

ment a purely economic affair. This
was the trouble with the old social-

GETTING SOME SUN DAILY
When the weather is li bit cold it
seems a natural thing to remain in-
'dool-s. and yet aside from the value
of pure fresh air there is one other
great gift of which you and I seem
not fully aware.
I often think, as mentioned before,
that the natives of far distant shores
showed a reverence that reflects
upon us, when they worshippedtheir
only known god, the sun.
Why did they worship the sun?
Because they realized that their life
on earth was dependent upon the
sun.
And now‘Dr. Chas. Mayo calls at-
tention to the fact that it was not
until 1750 that the first light in msd-
lcal treatment was recorded by Rus-
sell, who was stimulated to its use
by watching the self-treatment of
animals. Finsen in 1893, Berhad in
1902. and Rollier in 1904, brought the
use of the sun's rays to the atten-
tion of the civilized world, and yet all
these thousands of years the sun has
beamed down upon us., ~
It is really only at _the percent time
.hat mari is beginning to take advan-
tage of these rays.
And as man is above the animal
he leams much about the different
rays of the sun, the heat waves, the
radio waves. the violet, ultra violet,
x-ray and radlurn waves.
He knows that these rays have
uses. and is learning what some of
thwe uses are. '

volution as minutely as a chemist
studies the reaction of chemical com-
binations in the laboratory. If there
has already been a striking resem-

very good reason is that the engineers
of the uprising in Russia worked ac-

CANADA AS A WORLD TRADER
Q. Where does Canada stand as
a. World Trader?
A. Canada has the largest per
capita railway mileage in the world.
Canada occupies second place among
the world’s greatest per capita ex-
porters. Canada occupies fifth place
amfmg the world's greatest traders
in foreign markets. Canada, with
only one-twelfth the population of
the United States, does over one-
fourth as much world trade. Can-
ada’s export of Canada products in-
creased between slx and seven fold
(from 196 to 1,349 millions) between
1902 and 1928, while total trade in-
creased from 406 millions to 2 billion
584 millions.

At Madam Tussaud’s
(J. B. Priestley in the London Satur-
day Review)
Last Saturday afternoon I visited
Madame Tussaud-and hardly re-
»cognized her. My recollections of the
old place are of a dingy building, a
place with a mournful railway wait-
ing-room atmosphere and not many
patrons. The new building is very
Bay, and, what is more astonishing,
it is‘well patronized. There was a
crowd of us last Saturday afternoon.
and I for one could only catch a.
Bllmpse of the heads of the present
Royal Family, so dense was the loyal
throng in front of this group. When
I first entered the Grand Hail, I saw
there, all round the room-two sets of
people staring at one another. The
only difference was that the set low-
er down, with their backs towards
me, made little movements, turned
their heads and nudged one another.
whereas the other sei: kept perfectly
still. his first crazy glimpse was ens-
liy ulo best thing the exhibition had
to offer tae. For when I say that I
hardly recognized Madame and that
she is now quite gay, I refer only to
the actual building .and its decora-
tions (though I might also include
the five girls in black-and-white who
form a rather desperate little or-
chestra), and not to the exhibits.
These are just the same, except that
perhaps the new bright building
makes them look all the more cur-
ious.
There is something sinister about
wax. No wonder wax figures play
such a notable' part in black magic.
It is the ideal medium for the effi-
gies of murderers. The actual crafts-
manship in this image-making is very
good, but it is given a sinister twist
by the evil substance. I have no
doubt whatever that M. Tussaud and
his assistants have a genuine admir-

them by making these efiigies. Nev-
ertheless I could _ understand a
stranger who insisted that there is
deadly satire behind this show of iig-
ures in the Grand Hall. Here are all
