THE EDUCATION PROBLEM

item for education alone now ap-

Without taking up the dc- tailed figures the present outlay for public schools is about ten times greater than it was twenty years ago and the question is, are the children of today receiving ten times better education than those of twenty years An interesting sidcligilt is thrown on the subject by returns rc- cently issued by the Labor Bureau. According to these returns we arc told that of the one million uneln- ployed in the country, one-half, or 500,000 of these, are males, who have never learned a trade. Moreover, it is stated that of the thousands who have applied for positions in stores and offices the great majority arc so backward in writing,

Great Britain is supposed to have the most thorough system of educa- tion in the world, yet these condi- tions exist there, as they do in every other country, our own province in- cluded. ‘ .

The question being asked by the British taxpayers ls, is the country receiving value for the money spent on education? This is the question of the ages, asked in every country that spends money. on public educa- tion. The answer is that the coun-

Notes by the Way

HEN the CanlilTan Pacific Rail-

in the curly eighties of last century that undertaking was strongly con- damned by leading statesmen of the Opposition of that time, including Hon. Edward Blake. Their attitude toward this notable railway project was endorsed by London Truth, an extract from which was reproduced the other day by the Liberal Star of Toronto. We reproduce it here:- ‘Thc Pacific Railway is never likely to yield a single cent of in- terest on the money that may be sunk in it. . Once Canada is fahiy committed to this new rail- way. I see nothing before it but bankruptcy. While the money is being spent all will go well enough, perhaps, but in the end the Dom- illion will have to go into liquida- tion . The Dominion is, in short, a fraud all through, and is destined to burst up like any other fraud." This nlakcs funny reading in the light of Canada's Jubilee celebration

‘ENEMIES. WITHIN THE non!

In war time » there are troops known as shock troops. Their job is to do the hard things.

In attack they frequently storm

,the enemy's cities, forts and are supposed‘ to take them or die in the attempt. l Someone has been likening the yserious diseases of past years, the plague, typhoid fever, small pox, ‘diphtheria, cholera, and the like, to ithese shock troops, and we have been ablc to throw them back be- ‘cause in civilized countries thecc diseases are now all under control. ,1 However these enemies of the ibody are from without. There are enemies from within which have not been put under control as yet, and their warfare, though not so fierce as the shock troops mention- ed above, are serious, as they are 'in the body all the time, lying in wait as it were, to do damage.

These enemies are the organisms that develop in the intestine due to constipation. They are in bad teeth and infected gums, In the sinuses adjoining the nose. In ton- sils that have ceased to be filters,
