Can we remedy this situation? Yes. if we are independent enough to teach for true development in our pupils and not for examina- tions. When we find a. pupil grasp- lrlg the necessary work slowly let him take his time: sec that he does his best. encourage and approve; but above all see to it that he is happy. We know there are many parts of the curriculum that would be much better relegated to the waste basket. The wise teacher can see that they are so disposed oi in- stead of cumbering the memory oi the children with that which is quite unrelated to ilfe and merci- fully forgotten as soon as exam- inations are over. Some day, perhaps. we shall have a practical curriculum re- lated to the life of the child and a system oi grading which will depend upon some simple and prac- tical test of intelligence. Then pupils will be working happily dealing with ideas they understand and for which they can find direct and practical use. In the meantime let us relate the work as much as we can to the child's after life; let us try to stimulate his powers of observation. but over and above everything else, let us endeaavor to teach him the duty of being happy and of mak- ing others about him happy too. His reputation mber that pass exile, Lenin and Trotsky. ‘These captains of the Bolsheviki or “ma- jority men", abolished private pro- perty in land and capital and set up a communist system with the government seat at Moscow. Here came the elected representatives of the local and provincial sovlets to the All-Russian Congress. The constitution declared that "The Russian Socialist Federated Soviet Republic considers work the duty of every citizen of the Republic, and proclaims as its motto: ‘He shall not eat who does not work'." After a regime of five years the Bolsheviki discovered that they had to run the industries which they had nationalized. Many neces- sary manufactured articles could not be secured in government storcs and factories. Thus they were forced to swallow their communis- tic pride and to adopt a New Economic Policy, under which they employed foreign engineers to as- italists to develop their mines and oil wells. All went well, When Lenin died in i924, Joseph Stalin became Secretary-General and carried out the newly formulated programme. But dissension arose After weeks of debate the Soviet government exiled Trotsky and his associates. Today Trotsky. an exile ticism of his former country.

ECONOMIC Corn Laws imposed a slidiwg- scale of duties upon foreign grain brought into England. As the local price went down the duty in- creased. and vice versa.

Potato Famine in Ireland helped to bring about the ' Repeal of the Corn Laws by Sir Robert Peel (effect 1849) Removed all duties on imported grain. Mr. Editor: As a former teacher and School InspectorI am naturally interest- ed in things educational and fol- low with enjoyment the opinions expressed through the columns of the "Educational Horizon." I think you have chosen well in naming youivdepartment because “Horizon“ suggests the ability tc explore in all directions in seeking the true path of progress. I have found that motives play a very large part in the control oi children in school. If we can con- trol the child's will. we can con- trol his actions. We can control his will, if we control the desires which control his will. Since the motives to which the will has be- come accustomed to respond in childhood and youth will become M.B.A. _ If the verb expresses a continued action, such a sentence is rendered in French by the pre- sent lndicative and “depuis" thus: "I have been sick for a week" becomes Je auis malade de- pills huit jours. “They have been speaking English for many years." Ils parlent anglaia depua beaucoup d'ans. But this rule is not follow- ed if the action has been com- plcted: Je ne l‘ai pal vu depus iongfempe. ‘ » R.G.D.—The climate of a local- ity depends upon its latitude and altitude chiefly. though other fac- tors that modify to some extent the climate of a. place include: (ll the direction of prevailing winds; (2) the nearness to large bodies of water; (3) the proximity of large bodies of land; t4) thc presence of forest areas; (5) nearby ocean currents; f6) nearby mountain ranges; etc. Climate is thc average condition of the weather from year to year. ll Others Seeking G VICTORIAN ERA Results: England entered a per- iod oi prosperity.
