The Christmas Supplement

Cliecrftillv at variance with thc war-news columns is ithe spirit of today} Christmas sup- plement of 77w (jitardian, The contrast should remind us that it is not primarily for “flag nor king nor emperor" that we are fighting, but “for a dream, born in a herdsman's shed, and Hold- ing fast to that ideal, we need have ito difficulty

for the secret Scriptures of the poor.”

iti reconciling our celebration of Christmas with unsvverving loyalty to the cause for which Can- ada ."nitl thc limpire are at war.

Tho special stories, verses atid illustrations in today's issue will, it is hoped, serve as a pre- lude to the eiijtrvment of the holiday season,

attd the atlvertiscmenis as a tiseftil guide to

Lhristtnzis shopping.

'l'lirre is another thing which the supplement calls to mind, namcl_v, thc needs of those less fortunate than ourselves, who, throttgh the medium of the Santa Pals, the Free Dispensary, the Salvation ;\l‘1l1_\', the Infirniaryg the hos- pitals, orphanages and other institutions, have bpccitll claims on our attention at this time.

“They Don't Like Maid."

“Tcaclters of liiiglisb," says a tnainlaiid ex-

cbrmge, "are beginning, at last, to recognize the}

fact that there inav be some youngsters in their classes \\ho do not like John Milton's poetry. The cotlccttstts of opinion among experts at- tending a recent meeting of the National Cotin- cil of TX-achcrs of English was substantially that .-ttult*nts' itidivitltial tastes should be given wine ccittsitlcrzttioii.."

llotibtlcss there arc not some only. btit many voungsiers. and teachers as well, who dislike .\lilton's poetry. The same objection will be found to apply to iihakespeares poetry, and \\'.-»rtl>\tortli's tioetry; atid to the whole galaxy of lYngli-lt poetry. Poetry — that is to say great pticlt'_\'—llils in every age been a drug on the market, for the simple reason that many people find it dull and unintelligible.

lint the “expert? attending the recent meet- ing of the National Council of Teachers of Eng- lish do not themselves profess to dislike Mil- ton's poetry. Tihe dislike exists in the uncritical minds of "some youngsters in the classroom"; and it is their "individual tastes" that should be considered. The obvious deduction from this is that there is no standard of literary judgment, no need of establishing any standard, and no reason why the National Council of Teachers of English should exist at all. jack is as good as his master.

The old-fashioned teacher of English though? otherwise. Ile conceived it to be his duty to fort/i his students’ tastes, not to pander to their crude likes and dislikes. That is how scholars were made. Putt we are in a new educational era, (“license they mean when they cry liberty") of which blindness to the distinction between great and mediocre literature is bttt a symptom. .\liltoii might well stand for a symbol. lle re- presents much that the titilitarian reformers would like to banish from the curricula. He is zitisterc and classical. lle requires “almost a solemn service 0f music before you ciitcr upon him." And if, as lilia says truly, “he brings his music", it is of that tincompromisiiig kind “to which who listens had need bring docile tbotights and jittrgcd t-ttrs."

lt will be recalled that, when the special ses- sion was held last September, Hon. Dr_ Manioi: gave a public tnidertaking to co-opcratc to the limit with the Government in such of its efforts as might be directed to the carrying out of Canada's war programme. Stibseqticntly it was derided at the Conservative caucus to “shut up shop” so far as active organization was con- cerned, and from then till the present time the headquarters of the National Conservative party it Ottawa have been closed. Now, according to advices from Ottawa, all this is to be changed. and {lCllVC work iii the direction of reorganiza- tion is to be tindertziken immediately by the Federal Conservative leaders.

'l‘wo reasons are given in explanation of this renewed activity in Opposition circles. One is that, while the Opposition has strictly observ- ed the political trticc auil has given the King l\linistry' its moral co-operation with respect to the country's war progranune, and while it has even refrained from criticisms of the Govern- ment 011 any point of public tioliev, there has been no cvitlcncc of a reciprocal spirit from the Administration itself. Mr. King has not only failed to keep thc Conservative leader inform- ed with respect to the war measures, btit has

old lines. M King has intimated that the need of an Opposition prevents him from undertaking to organize a war time Coalition Government. He has also announced that his Government is opposed to any extension of the statutory life of the present Parliament. These statements. taken together, mean that there must be an elec- tion within the next few months, and that it is to witness a keen rivalry as between the major political parties in their respective bids for of- fice. The expectation is that polling will take place in June or July at latest. The campaign, however, is going to be made as brief as pos-

, sible, and to this end an amendment of the elec-

tion law is said to be in contemplation, so as to make polling possible within four weeks of dis- solution. The outlook therefore is for an early and complete reversion to dynamic politics of the old-fashioned kind.

The regulation of the price of bacon in Bri- tain has its reflex in Canada necessitating more price control from Ottawa. The control will affect the price to be paid by Canadian con- sutners as well as the price the farmers re- ceive, while thc British consumers wilbbe prp- tected by the price set in Britain. Prices will

more per hog than in the other seasons. etisure a steady flow of bacon to the British market and to ensure also a fair price to farm- ers and consumers in this country an elaborate system 0f control is being planned by the fed- cral Department of agriculture. This scheme is made necessary by the tigrectiient between Bri- tain and (Ituiada whereby the former country will take nearly 5,000,000 potuids weekly and also in view of the fact that early in the new ycar the British people will be rationed oii bacon and similar footlstttffs.

But brace up, kld, you've a lot of nerve to carry on like t.hls—-tlilnk of the soldiers in the trenches." But. lier head ached with the cease- less cramming. and her heart was filled with fear of failure. Because Marv had fated once. and tf she failed this time, she knew 1t. would be a thousand times worse. Mary's folks lived on a farm ten miles from the nearest town. a. town of some 900 inhabitants. Her father's brother and his family llved Just. a half mile away. Her cousin Jane and she were the same age and had been friends un- til two years aizo.

She knew she would fall; her teacher knew it and so did tier parents and of course Jane and her parental And so weak and shaken she tried, and failed. Jane passed with high marks.
