He also is a capitalist, but about all he now gets is either below minimum wage or interest on his investment, if he does actually get either."

A second glance showed he was in his socks, and carried his boots over his shoulder. The police- men stopped to inquire whether anything was wrong, to discover ultimately that he was a mys- terious midnight marauder who had defied the police for 15 years. Taken to the police station, the pleasant oldman said he had com- mitted over 1.000 burglaries in the period. but took nothing but cash, as when he started out professionally 25 years ago. he took a watch, pawnecl it, and it led to his having to do a “stretch" of five to ten years- That was a lesson to him, he said, and he had stolen noth- ing but money since. He said he always wore 3 pair of socks and carried an extra pair of pants in case of accidents, iii During the past few months the Canadian Government has been conducting, in certain cen- tres in the United Kingdom, an intensive “Can- ada Calling” campaign, forcibly drawing the at- tention of consumers to the variety and merits of the Canadian food products available for their U50. As a result in some instances the sale of Canadian produce in the week in which the cam- paign was launched in their areas increased by from 2o to 10o per cent. in comparison with the corresponding week of the previous year.

I am, Sir. etc, SYLVANG. EDUCATION (Errors and Omissions} Sir,—I had hoped to conclude last. week my pat-t in the recent. discussion on education carried on in the columns of your paper. But. after due consideration of my own letters, together with criticisms and hints thrown out by New Teacher and also by another writer who signs himself "Another Earnest Citizen”, I feel that I should make some attemtpl. to correct. er- rors imd omissions in my letters. But. first let. me assure "Another Citizen" that. I am not a. woman, nevertheless I do not consider it uncomplimentary to be mistaken for one, sptnster or otherwise, in connection with ideas on educat- ion. Nor am I any too well edu- cated. for besides having a fair knowledge of the English language I know just. a little French. a little mathematics (not. at, all my first love, New Teacherxa little science and music, and last but not; least, as ln the case 01f Shakespeare and I presume. Bums. I know a little Latin and Greek; which speaks well for a. little Latlnamd Greek according to "Another Citizen”: but the “craven fear of being great" com/pets me to refuse la title at, present. And now in reference to errors and omissions, first, I think now, New Teacher, ln respect to that topic sentence that the rule ll that the topic sentence bears spe- cific reference to the subject. but 1t is not. absolutely necessary for lt to do so, at least. in appears - as in the case of that "pons uln- flat/nu. ortun" cited by you. Again 1n respect. mthe par-flaw- lldean geometry plays in 00111905- itlon. I admit that New Teacher has p. weed a reductlo ad absur- dum tn so far as my I-Hllmenw would seem to imply that geomet- rical rules apply to descriptions of free nature. Geotmet 3...: drawlns does, however. apply to d08- crlpti of a. hltectun and other forms of art; and I heartily agree with “Another Citizen" that CPS-W- ing, geometrical and freehand. should have a big place in out t public school curriculum. especially l as our boys and girls have a gift ‘for skilled mechanical work and other forms of art. Again, in reference w music. I do not. now think that Eucllcrs geometrical H1195 have anything to ,do with it; but. urlthmetlc and ualgabra have. In fact, now ! am _ inclined to think also. that. the ex- pression attributed to Sir Isaac Newwnmamely, "God ‘ izes , is not. strictly correct in reference .10 the heavenly bodies, for it is the highermnthetnatlcml perceive, that apply to astronomy, and hence to the music of the spheres. Let us. after the manner of New Teacher. leave the devout mathe- matician foramoment, and ‘ - plate that “spacious flrmament on lug ” with the noble poet.

Sir, m, OLD TEACHER. ._.Z_____€___ CHRISTIAN EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS Blow-In your issue of April 21st. 1937, I read with much mterest your editorial on the report or the annual meeting of the Board of Christian Education which was held recently 1n Toronto. They suggested that the outlook of the present age has a. trend toward too much that. ls secular and not enough that ls spiritual and they passed a resolution that “the time has now come to consider serious- ly. how belief in God can find its place in the life of our pu-bllc schools." Your editorial just. touched my pet hobby, which is the teaching of the knowledge 0f God and all that pertains to good morals, to our children in the ‘schools and the forming of good citizenship for the future. There is something infinitely more essential than the men teaching 01f geography and arith- metic because the pagans learn these. We need to teach the good sound moral principles which [nuke the low-abiding, honest citizen and this cannot exist without the knowledge of God. the Father of all latw and order. The chaos and havoc which the Communist. is W119i!!! everywhere today shows what the lock 0f God can accom- plish. The chlld of today will be the citizen of tomorrow so to spook. and early imprlons are lasting ones. The mind of the‘ child ts s. mould 1n which we can form the influences which will affect it for the rest of its lltfe. . However. one part of your edttm- lnJ reads like the irony of fate. It reminds me of the preacher who said: "Don’t do as I do, but do as I say.” ‘Phone organizations are urg- lng educatlonlota and provincial Qpvernmenta to take the matter up and have religion taught tn schools when we know that. from time ‘ ml. the general pub- lic have been doing everything tn their power to keep rtellglon out of the schools. Recently. one of our provinces even rescinded a lam which had been established to nld those very schools. in which the knowledge of God has always been taught. 1 B"! overfmved to read their resolu- tion that the time “bu now come" to teach God in the schools.

Potatoes nymnssuun. VII The potato has about 20 per cent. of carbohydrate content. It thus has a high caloric value of good quality, rendering it. a good source of heat and energy express- ed in terms of work. The potato. be- cause of the hish quality of its carbohydrate. protein and other contained properties, is very exten- sively used, in the form of’ baked potato tn combination with milk t; ulpbured fruits with some gr n leafy vegetables, in certain kidney‘ conditions, with very gratifying results. The potato contains a little fat. having a little less than one-fifth of one per cent. As fats take long- er to oxidize, they constitute the best. heat producing foods, there- fore they form a large part of the diet. of people living ln Artie regions. There are about 15 different kinds of fats in foods, some be- ing llquld as olive oil and cot'n oll and some being 1p the form of a solid as beef and mutton {at and cocoanut fat. Each kind of fat contain different kinds of fatty acids 1n their molecule. All these fats. except one, lino- lelc acid. are capable of synthesis within the body from sugar. Ani- mats, as the goose and pig can make fat from starch or sugar. Linolelc acid is essential in the food, as food devoid of it will not sustain life, tbereforeltlsindespen- stble in order to effect. normal nutrition and health. When fats are taken in the food and digested, they each are coh- verted into glycerine and fatty acids which unite with the alkaline substances in the intestinal juices and result in the formation of soaps, which are soluable in water and pass through the intestinal walls, where neutral fats are re- formed, and then pass into the thoracic duct and then into the blood. While the potato has quite a small amount of fat content, yet it contributes to the necessary supply of the indispensible linnleie acid, which is an unstable sub- stance and easily oxidized in the presence of air or oxygen. When potato is combined with milk. cream. butter, fat liver olls and meat; fats, in t/he diet, a sup. ply of this-esential ts assured. The potato has considerable inor- ganic or mineral content. n11 of which are essentiallylndespensible to protect against the develop- ment 0f a number of sci-called de- ficiency diseases.
