It is greatly u; be desired that the relationships between Ofci France and Canada, which lhtlliflt‘: New France, should be upon a happy reciprocal basis- lspcciciliy iu the matter of trade snd commerce. But any agreement made must be fulr to both partici- pants, which the old fiance-Can- ldlBfi trcnty, made by the Liberals, certainly was not. i4 PERTINENT QUERY A New Brun wick exchange, in- flepr-fidfllt in Iiolitles, raises the fol- bWlPg pcr‘ 1*, tiuory: ables, the political speakers sud writers in Wpflsiticn have shown themselve; supporters of the Eznpire first and partisans after. These have certainly not generally declared the conference -s failure. "But there have appeared both writers and speakers who have taken it upon themselves to make this assertion of" absolute failure and one would be interested to know why. These people do not content themselves with saying that things might. have been better; they pos- ltively deny that the assembled leading statesmen of the Empire achieved anything at all worth any- thing st ell. They mostly convey the impression that tiny-sometimes they clone-could have settled she whole Affair. What they imply is rcrely- weakened by modctfiy. sfidom, if over, an they people of whom the‘ would has taken any note and perhaps that is the explanation o! their outcrop; the cry of mediocrit- les wounded in their egotism, But if this is not accept/ed, and in view oflthe general attitude of politicians of ell parties that, no matter how far it fails short of the ideal, the conference was s very long way from being a failure, it is necemury to ask who Ls inciting these people, what is urging them to do it?" BIG TRAFFIC PROBLEM One of the questions which ma! come up for discussion st the Dominion-Provincial Conference st Ottawa. in January is the control of highway competition with the steam railways. It is suggested that some agreement might be reached between the Dominion and Provinces as in jurisdiction in the matter of tnicks and busscs engaged in inter-provin- cial traffic. Prominent railway offlolals have told the Duff Commisszon that the railways were prepared to establish their own highway services to ll limited extent. That, in fact, they would be compelled to do l0 1f th?! were to preserve the business left to them now by the‘ trucks and buses, and some of the ‘provincial govern- ments, notably Quebec, have already offered the railways the exclusive right to operate motors on highways parallel to rulway lines. ilifhethcr or not the railways decide finally w engage in this service the remvw ai of unfair competition would 81W them an even chance cf holding their present traffic.

All the countries in ‘which the Canadian dollar is ct a. premium are non-gold standard while all the countries in which the dollar is at a discount are gold standard with the excepiionof Italy and Austria.

Where .t is at a dis- count the rate ranges from 110 in Austria w 116 in the United States where the discount is heav est, ex- cept in Cecelia-Slovakia, where it is fractionally more.

M.D. nuucrs n: srsucn You will likely be surprised f0 learn that nearly one in every hundred children of school age has defects in speech. Unfortunately children do not outgrow these defects, and habits o‘! speech which are formed in early childhood are very difficult t0 alter later in life. Dr. Baruch Bilvermm, Mental Hygiene Institute, Montreal, tells us that most of the speech defeclz aside from those caused by some definite disease of the central nervous system. can be gelieruiiy classified into three groups, known as delayed speech, 1 sping, and stut- tering. Of these defects stuttering is the most common, and interferes mm with the happiness and ability of the patient. There are s number of moor-lea as to the cause of stuttering, but naturally the treatment interests us most. _ The senersl rules of hniene must be observed, because stuttering is apt to so affect the individual that he avoids people, avoids outdoor exercise, and lives within himself so much, that his whole physical makeup suffers. Dr. silverman remwds adults and teachers that they (an help to devel- op normal speech, and prevent de- fects in children under their cake.

The above simple rules should be worth much to parents and teach- ers, who are caring for children with speech defects.

THE OWN GUARDIAN Reflections On Bacon ___._. (John Beresfold, in The wectewr) It pleases me to think that one of the wisest men who ever lived was nsmed Bacon, sud connected his name with the animal which provide; that fragrant and essen- tial article of diet.

It has taken strong hold in Europe. This short and picturesque method of teaching history is not confined in secular subjects, but is being widely adopted to set forth the epi- sodes connected with the great re- ligious festivals. What has greater claim than the Christmas scene? Pictorial iu-t has long been busy with this fnspirlting motif. The famous intings depicting the Nativity scene are almost countless, and copies of them are found in Christian homes the world over. Music and poetry and rltualist sym- bols are requisltioned to celebrate the great event referred to by Shakespeare, who, in "Hamlet," the most spiritual of his plays, puts into the lips of Marcellus the well- kncwn lines- “Bome say that ever ‘gainst that season comes Whereixrour Saviourb birth is celebrated, The bird of dawning slngeth all night long, .And then, they say, no spirit can walk abroad The nights are whnlcsome; then no planets strike, No fnli-v twin-s: no witch hnth bowl-r to charm so bellows-d and so gracious is the llmc." And, provided the dramatic pres- entation of the Christmas scene be properly done, not llghtsomely, in- deed, nor as a mere matter of poa- sing entertainment; but in keeping with the sublime simplicity, apt moderation and nbounciing joy of this great festival, no reasonable objection can be raised to a dra- ing. - . ."

The performance of miracle or mystery plays is alluded to by William Fitz- stephen, the biographer of Thomas a. Becket, plainly showing that such representations were in vogue in the early part of the twelfth oeu- tury, and were quite common in- Londcn, and probably also in the provinces. During the thirteenth century they became an established custom as is shown by the Angio- French poem, “Manuel do Peche," usually ascribed to Bishopflroes- ctetc, in which there is s detslled account of the authors of miracle plays, the subjects treated, and the circumstances under which they were performed. In the latter part of the fourteenth century, the chor- lstcrs and scholars of St. Paul's Cathedral petitioned Richard II to prohibit certain persons from act- ing the "history of the Old and the monasteries were the chosen audit,- orlums of such exhibitions. Three collections of th plays, known as the Townley, Cove ry and Chester acts, were produced respectively during the reigns of Henry VI, Henry V11 and Queen Elizabeth, in all containing ninety-six pieces, and of the Chester collection there sre five that treat of the various incl- dents connected with the Ch- tmas story as told in the gospels. ‘There arc good groimds for the atelie- ment that from near the time of the Normsn Conquest down to the Reformation period, the diamstlsed version of scriptursi scenes served much the same purpose ss docs the Pictorial Bible of the present day. ‘mat some coarseness snd huffoon- ery were elements mixed in the Bacomn? for our later years it takes only a few ufinutee now and e few dollars each month to make abso- ~ Iutely sure of financial independence in the sunset of your life.
