Let Us Lend To End If we are justly proud of the contribution our young men from hero arc making to the active service forces in this War, we can show our attitude n0 more effectively than by going "over the top" in the \\':ir Savings pledge campaign now under way. The purpose of this campaign -- to enlist an army of 2,000,000 Canadians who will pledge themselves to invest regularly in War Savings Certificates for the duration of the \Var —is not only to divert as much money as possible itto essential war expenditures, but to encourage systematic saving and thrift. Both objectives are of vital importance, and offer an outlet both for patriotic service and for safe and profitable investment. Canada must raise this money, and it is our ditty and privilege to subscribe to the utmost limit of ottr means. A dollar a week will purchase one $5.00 Ccrtiliczttc monthly, at 3 per cent litter- est compounded llilll-yfllfly, and larger amounts will realize corresponding returns. When we re- flect that evcrv ct-nt subscribed in this way goes to defeat the Nazi menace and restore world peace and security, can we hesitate a moment in pledging our fullest co-opcration and support? The Prime hliuistcr announces that further contingents arc ready to go overseas almost ini- mediately, including the Third Division IVIIIClI. is now in training in tauadn. These boys require sustenance and niuiutc-iiziiicc, and the War Savings Certificates arc just for that purpose.

His method of shorthand bcczuue vcry popular and was adopted for use bv the staff of Hansztrd. He began publishing the Phonetic Journal in 1842 and continued it till his death in 1807.

He agreed to mediate between Thailand and Indra-China, but grabbed Indo-Cltinifs rice crop in payment The Japanese plan calls for a practical monopoly, at least 80 per cent. of the rice crop being bought by Janapesc agents, assembled in Saigon. and thence shipped to Japan. The rctnnzlnts of the rice crop will then be sold to China. the Philippines and other possible buyers, but Japanese agents will gt-t first choice. This practical tuonopoly of rice opens for Japan a new rich ficld, as Indo-Cliina produces two or thrcc crops Yearly, and the rice will be sent to Japan both as food and as sced for next year's crop. Also the importation of stich qtiantities of rice will relieve the acute shortage within Japan itself. u n: w According to the January Monthly Letter of the Royal Batik, throughout Canada business conditions (luring i040 were profoundly affected by war conditions The transformation to war ec- onomy was effected without undue dislocation and barometers of business activity practically all recorded expansion during the year. There were few branches of industry where the increase in operations did not reach substantial proportions. Employment was at the ltighest point in history although Canada's war effort has not yet reached the peak of its activity. Merchants throughout the country reported retail sales considerably bet- ter than last year, many stores enjoying the most active Christmas season in ten years. Canada's foreign trade had r greater value in 1940 than in any year since 1928. Gains were reported over a wide range of commodities but the basic reason underlying the great advance was not far to seek —huge imports of essential war materials from May we appeal, On behalf of the workers who! are giving their services voluntarily in this cam-i‘ ihgflxtxiéd. some! in WlllClI we are all so vitally coitcernezl. l INITES BY TllE WAY i In the year "‘ C ' ‘ 3°» i940.

And most important of all, one must have the desire to read for the love of reading. long after school-days are over. Now, "Old Teacher's" method of “spell and say" probably dld teach children to recognize separate words and even sentences. Sooner or lat- er, any normal child learns that much. So dlc‘ the phonic method which has long been discarded as a method-lb is used only as an occa- sional aid b0 the teaching prozess. But whwt was startling ln his indict- ment of the phonic method was at. he dlct not approve of it be- cause "primary teachers, at, least, m the rural schools, have but little ai- tention to give to primary pupils" and so parents rnust teach the child reading and this ls only possible tf they can use the method by which they were taught! Alas, can this be indeed true! Why it. Ls in the Dri- mary grades that. the child must learn the habits and attitudes that: will serve him throughout his school-life, if not indeed his entire life!

But it is reading methods we are considering, ls it, not?
