[bursts either of virtue or vice but by the general mharacteristics, the tastes, the amusements, the ipleasures. The person who takes pleasure in the suf- lferings of fellow-creatures, be they brute or human,l l is but little removed from the savage; the community? lor the nation of which this is tne dominant charac-l g teristic is in the same category. ' l The person who derives his or her chief delighti from low amusement, from selfish satisfaction, is ‘cssentiallyvulgar and ignorant; where this is gen- Ierally true of the community or the nation it indi- icates, to put it mildly, a low order of intelligence. iAnd so, communities, well as individuals, are ijudged by their habit of thought as indicated by Itheir general relation to the things that really mat- jter, the things that build up character, that are the ‘measure of the progress from primitive savagery to, Twentieth Century enlightenment. . It will be found a wholesale exercise to occas-j lOlilllly “examine ourselves” as to the tendency of, our tastes, to ascertain if we can, whether as indi-' viduals or communities we are drifting (lownwardl .01‘ struggling Lipward. It will be observed the drift is always downward, the struggle always upvuard. How is it with us in our various communities in this l highly favored province of Prince Edward Island? In liriaterial things we are exceptionally favored; we lare burdened neither with poverty nor riches; in the struggle for existence we have so‘ far conquered that .wc have some leisure for the enjoyment of spare ‘hours. How do we employ these hours? “Look ziround,” Physical pleasure 11liStlf1tO(l;A_ amusement .whieh gratifies only, at least, our curiosity or our uinimziilsm. these we have in abundance. As to intel- Jgctuul l)l(3;1$[11‘(}$, the pursuit of happiness along the higher levels, it must be ailmitted we fall short.

SOM l‘) DISA STICKS l f a l l _..___ f “Disaster has overtaken thousands of war mar- iriages,” says a London paper. “Cold official figures lshow that 1918, the most recent year recorded, was the most prolific season in divorces for half a cen- ,tury. This is one of the remarkable facts contained §in the annual report of the Registrar-General. An- llother is that though there were only 554 divorces be itween 1876 and 1880, those in 1918 totalled 2,222. {Figures rose steadily every year until the war, when la sudden Jump from 1,154 cases in 1913 to 1,712 in .1914 took place.
