Arim. 1, 1931 T Summing It Up It ri‘iii:iiiietl for the RT. HON. ARTHUR M1i1i.iii,.\' to nialre the final comment on the United hiiigdom Trade Agreement bill in its passage through the Senate last week. “The Bill,” said Si:.\'.\'roii l\Ii:ic1i1~:t~:, “is a sufficient- ly faithful pliutograph of the measure of 1932 to warrant everyone in this House, of what- ever party, supporting it. There are a few chisellings here and there. There is just a little touching up around the eyes and mouth, but ii you stand six feet away you cannot tell this measure from the one passed in 1932; and we approve it with all the more alacrity because we staufl in the shadow of what might have been. lfi-r four years we stood and shivered under the threat of cancellation of treaties, of a new Governnient wiping them off the slate. . Having i.~.~'c:ipctl that fate, we are rejoiced at law, to inform himself, be/are spcukiiig, as to the eject of its provisioiis? And if, as Mr. Wright suggests, there should be “a la\v" against misinforming the public on matters of legislat- ion, what is the nature of the penalty the Bed- eque member would impose upon his leader for misinforming the House on the same matters? We do not suggest that the Premier wilfully “suppressed” the information as, to the danger of stultifying the prohibitory Dominion order- in-council. It may very well have been an over- sight on his part. But why complain of The Guardian's attitude, or of any criticism based on the fact that the bill as introduced, far from being a merely innocuous “consolidation” meas- ure, as he stated it to be, was charged wit_h dynamite so far as the law’s enforcement was concerned, and might very well have created a situation which would render eoiitintiancc oi' the j Prohibition Act impossible! f Editorial Note; 1 Robert Browning was born this date 181:.

Ot course we have always had bod roads ln the spring. but this spring ts the cup shea! of them all. Never s‘noe the country was taken from the Indians have our roads been in this oondltlon, travel by any kind of vehicle almost impass- able. Why it ls almost. impossible to even get around to bury the dead. Now we have men appointed by our Government that are called road mast/ers. I wonder do these men realize what they were ap- pointed for. It seems that for po- litical purposes, men are given those jobs, who don't. understand their work or do_n't care as long as they get 9. few dollars out od lt for themselves and their friends. How long do they think the travelling public ls going to stand for this condition of affairs? Now ninety per cent of the work done by our road masters last sum- mer would bave been much better if it had not been done at all, for the only road that any one can ‘ travel on at present ts the one that was not touched last. summer. This new Road Act that the Lib- eral Government put. in force in all wrong. Any man with one eye can see that when we had a. road master in every school district it was t/oo much territory, but to U0 and put one in every polling dis- trict ls still worse; and then to do away with the road supervisor was another mistake. There is no one now to look alter the work to see if it Ls right or wrong. M.r. Mclxityre claims he could not possibly spend any money ln the fall on the roads. I wonder does he know t.hl.s ls the month of April and next comes May. Time to flx the roads, and don't leave them until July like they were last year. It is up to him to see that the road master does his duties. Allhehastodotsdrlve over a district. He can tell what kind of a road master there ls ln that district. Do the road work in the spring before cropping and there would be no need of any pavement; rip- ping the road up ln the middle of the summer, and only half doing lt.-we have had enough oi that. Give our clay roads the attention they should get and what the people are demanding, and lf they don’t, get this, they won't have to go to Spain for a civil War; we will have lt right at home against the Government. Does the Govemment realize there is a. oertalri class of people that have to use those roads at all seasons of the year, such as our cream haulers, our mall men, whose contracts call for a passable road at al-1 seasons of the year. I wonder what they call a. pasable road? Mud, axle deep for nine months of the year. We want money .spent on our roads fiir more than we want a. National Park, which Mr. Camp- bell proposas to build but whlchii would be of little use to our com- mon people. 10 I nm Sir, et/c., TRAVELLER. A HOME INDUSTRY Str,-Much has been written late- ly about establishing ii. .canning factory in the province, and able arguments for and against lt: have been aired in the press. The consensus of opinion seems to be that it would be -difficult. to obtain a continuous supply of raw lon into open revolt. and wltfrlt a decided sweep of demand 101' the retum of prqhlibltlon. (6) The First National Safety Conference, held in Ottawa. as lc- ported by the Montreal Giwette, declares unless “driving under in- fluence of tnboxlcants, la regarded more seriously, the appalling toll of the highways ls more likely to lncreasethan decrease." (1) The Goderlch Sentinel, (Lib- eral). criticising the Hastings by- electlon, says,-"The Temperance Organizations in the riding, was against the Hepburn government, ia fiwtor which the Government will have to count on in many other rldlngs, unless lt makes con- cesdon to the temperanoe senti- ment." (9) In Ba.~1l¢a.liehaira.n.-C1ir1is- ton, Colousay, Domaine-in Guern- sey, Sanctuary and Sprlngwnter tumed to the Dry column in the re- cent. beer pleblsclts. Thus the revolt against increas- ed crlme and fatality, the d»oub‘ed up sale of fntoxtcants under the imaginary systeins of government control, in Canada as well as the United States and other countries. is raipfdly multiplying the demands for return to the Annex- prohibi- tion erinctrrnentii for relief from conditions wo wppnlling tp be tolerated even by many of former stoutest advocates of lvvérnment sale.

PROKIBITIONI .n COMPOSITION AND OTHER SCHOOL STUDIES Str,-When reformers who advo- cate the teaching of more Ensllah composition tn our public schools protest that a. proposition ln Euc- ltd’s Geometry does not afford |. pupil lnsplratlon and material for a good composition. we entirely agree with them. We have never said that lt does so. There is in fact no formal device for inspiring and preparing pupils oo write B004 composition. A child learns to write composition in a natural manner. as he learns to speak his mother tongue, namely by ixnltatlon; and ln the early stages ot I. pupl.l’s ed- ucation, lt is not wise even to sug- gest: to htm is formal method of writing composition. The aim of the teacher in these early stages should be to assist the pupil to 1164111-U0 fluency and ease, and consequently pleasure in writing is composition- preferably a story--as a whole without too much attention to for- mal rules. . But then oomes n time in the Pu- pll's ltfe, say ln Grade B or 9, when the teacher should show the pupil that all well-written compositions must comply with certain well-de- flned rules of order and loglc; for lnstimce, a. composition must have a subject or title that applies no the composition as a whole; lt must begin with a topic sentence with speclfie reference to the sub- ject as a whole; lt must naturally fall into several subdivisions known as parusruphs. and each paragraph must have a subordinate subject. that ls a topic sentence of its own, and treat only of this subject; every sentence must bear a logical sequence to one gone before lt. and every paragraph to one gone be- fore lt. In short there must be unity Of tlwllsht. B-nd continuity of thought throughout the whofe com- position. And finally the compo- sitlrm must have a consistent; oon- cluslon. Now it should be clear to every- one who has mastered even one book of Euclid. especially ln the old Chambers edition, that Euclld’s methods of dlvldlng n. proposition into four parts namely, general -¢flUYl¢lHfi°l1. Particular enunclatlon. demonstration and conclusion, ls precisely the method of writing n. sood composition. This is exactly tnie of that class of composition that wecall exposition but it ig 315° CDMDBPD-lively true of nanutlon and description:-compositions in all three classes fall into four sub- divisions as follows:-General sub- material, and then there is they trouble of flndlng a market. < What surprises me is that no one mentions an old lndustry that could be revived with almost. no expe'nse.i, I refer to brewing. _ | Here we have ine raw material, of the best quaffy fn abundance* and the work could be carried onl all through the year. ' Moreover we would not have to search for ti. market. That is al-i ready established as is proved byi the number of Black Horse cart- ons to be seen around the roads? If M.r. l-lemmlng is determined toi have his cnnnery what is to pre-, vent his canning the beer? It tastes just as good out of is can and tsl caster to transport when you go on a fishing trip. Since the Piiblle Accounts have been published we see plainly that the govemment has felled tn its objective, balancing the budget. Here is the remedy. The already over-taxed farmers will not have to submit to further taxation. On the contrary \they will have ii. cash mavizot. for it product that can be 1lellvf~rr‘d any day of the year, and itnni: of the profits to the fzovem- ment! Not. only will the budget be balanced but money will be aval‘- able to pave the roads, build the Irrlghton, West Rlvcr bridges and thiés relieve thc unemployment stt- llH itll). I am, Sir. etc., EASTERN TRAVELLEB NEARING THE PRWIPICE. Slr,_As s. wamlng' to those in govern-ment. tn the lure towards opening the flood gates of the liquor traffic, may I cite ,the following fact.s:- (1) In 21 States, ln 1936 ‘blee- tlens, 18 voted dry as against only 3 wets. - (2) An attempt to repeal the State Prohibition Law in Okla- homa, March 1937, was defeated by it plurality of 123,000. dry votes. (3) That state Wide Pi-ohtbltton ' ls now ln force l.n Alabama, Georgie. Kansas. M‘ssisstpl. North Carlotna. Oklahoma and Terinesse. (4)‘Out. of 350 elections In the Unltied States. under their Nalonal Local Option Low, 204 voted Dry. lgfllnst 46 Wet. (5) That the vast increase of road murders and other truffle disasters since repeal of the Vol- stead Act, due to drink. has i hidden treasures. , brought the lenders of public opin- .lect or title, corresponding to the general enunclatlon of Euclid; topic Htntefwa corresponding to the par- ticular enunclatton; argument, my-_ ration or description corresponding to the demonstration; and the con- clusion to the conclusion of Euclid-. And lt is unnecessary to any that no subject whatever requires and lnslsls on logic or continuity of thought as Euclid propositions do. For reasons which we have just €XlJ1t1lt1ed. it should, we think. be clear that while geometry doe; not provide stimulating material for 3, good composition, it does neverthe- less provide an excellent instrument of criticism. To this instrument t.he_ subject of drawing should be added. for it so well exemplifies the pi-in- clpln of proportion. especlaly wlt.h reference to descriptive composit- ion. If to these two subjectsgram- mar ts added. the instrument of criticism is complete.
