"That's Telling Them"-

‘If we in this Province are to retain our Pro- vincial sovereignty it is no thanks to the Camp- bell Government, whicli was prepared to sell us body and soul for the price of judgeships and such other patronage. It is to the Province of Quebec and New Brunswick, not to forget Al- berta, we areindebted for the stand against Ot- tawa usurpation, or centralization, as they call it. \\'licn all over the world there has been a tendency to decentralization of government, our IYZIZI-I-IICIIHCII rulers at Ottawa and here con- sider it a fit and proper time to‘ force centraliza~ tioii upon us. Premier Duplessis, to use the expressive phrase of President Roosevelt, has not been asking Ottawa to keep hands off the provinces but “telling them."

“It is my duty to speak," he said. “I am speak- ing. I am in favour of dealing with tasks with an open mind. and I am cvcn in favour of going t0 school if it can have a good teacher. But we have nothing to learn from any government iii Ottami, and tlie sooner they learn it the bcttcr for them."

It was not Sir George Etienne Cartier, as claim-

1 ed by Mr. justice Duclis in an address at Bar-

bados recently, who said in Parliament that “the last gun fired in defense of the British Empire would be fired by a French-Canadian,” but Sir Etienne Pascal Tache when he was Prime Min- ister of United Canada before Confederation. It is better to have this placed on record less others fall into a like error. a w n- m “Social diseases" the mention of which in polite society not very long ago would have im- mediatcly elicited a “hush-luish", are now an every day topic. Necessity has made them so. In New York alone, for‘ instance, 9,000 in- fants are born dead, and another 4,000 at least are born infected with sypihlis each year. At least 90 per cent of these could be brought into the world free of disease if anti-treatment were applied in time. Then why shouldn't the peo- ple know this? This is where adult, as wcll as adolescent, education may prove effective and profitable. w m iv iii Is Mr. AIIICbCIIZIC King pr0~German?

EDUCATION AND THE COMMON PEOPLE

sIr,-'I'he ubftc dlscuwlon of the . schools In t e press 1s {proving of l real value. A matter o such ex- ceptions.‘ importance needs the at- tention of all who are competent to deal with It. Even those who feel they are not competent can help by stating their difficulties and their desires. Our educational autliorltlss, the supreme authority being the government cannot re- vfse the system effectlvely unless they have the intelligent and sym-

of tlie public. This being the case It Is fortunate that In addition to many amateur suggestions, such

fit to bring her expert knowledge to bear on the problem.

It is wcll that In the person of Mrs. Frank we have one flttcd both by the very finest profession- al training and by long experience in the teaching task to offer such viruablc aid In this discussion. flaring graduated. with the Mas- ter of Arts (M. A.) DGEYEB from Teachers Ccfilcge, Columbia Unt- vei-sity, N. Y.. whlch has the rep- utation of belng the best tmliilng school for teachers she is familiar with tlie theories and practices that have been tried out In the past. and with the lat- est researches as well. Afterward Sllf‘ hail eight years actual teach- iiin‘ lrxperlence ln both the elem- eiitaiy and the high schools of New York City, to test In ordin. ary lsraetlco the values of the most flrlvroved methods. and to observe tlie results In the lives of the pu- flils as they passed under her hands. Further her own genuine interest ln the work of teaching and 1n the developlng minds of children enables her to bring a weatli of tested knowledge t0 the SIIbjCCt under discussion, so vital to the public welfare, the most vital of all matters to any peop‘e.

After occupying so much space In the press as I have already done, I hope I may stlll- be allow- ed a further word—to remind our common people of the need of using their oivn best judgment on, thi: matter by pondering the con- tributions of both amateur and ex- pert. I ffnd one unfortunate de- feet In the usual specialist on this subject. It: Is a common falling In our educational EUIIIOTIIIBS,‘

in America, '

when he said: _

"They go in (to college) stlrks

And come out asses."

I iIiInk that to remove advanced subjects from our common schools would be n. very unwise step. After a student basses Grade VIII lie ls

l capable of taking on those sub- ljects such as Latin and Geometry and by studying those “mind trainers" as some of your corres- pondents call them, he studies other subjects more succcsslu 1y. A cross- word puzzle I5 a veiy iiuocl mind I trainer and I would suggest that l‘ such would beazlven to pupils oc- = caslonally. It Is not merely for mind training we study Lunn anu Geometry, etc. Ii ts that \ve may be

pathetic consent and co-operatioii uocd In English and arithmetic. The l

I language of the Latins, thy which , I mean all the IXJODIB, almost, of Southern Europe) Is one of the

structure m‘ monern English Is built. Willioul n knowledge of Lat- ln how are we to understand a common expression such as i anno Domini 193B or ex offieic. and i many other cxpreaions of Lalln origin. In Arithmetic how are \ve to l flame out tlie cost of painting a. cone. without knowing the relabcu of the cone to_the circle? One of your correspondents says that.‘ Latin and Geometry, etc., l SIIOILG be taken out of tlie common schools and left for the mlleges. I belle-re In the very opposite and say that, SIIKIUJIS do not slay long enough In the common school. 'I'Iiey

rusn off. at too early an age to .

colicclc; without the prepaiallcli ivIiIcIi would enable them to study with advantage and compete suc- cessfully with others. I cannot un- derstand why anyone should IlIiIIk that tlie tcaclici: in a college sliculd be more competent to teach Latin than tlie teacher In the common sc-Iiool. IbesuLs tell a different story, as tlie great majority ol successful men In all tlie Iiigli professions come from tlie common school.

Space docs not permit. me to write in answer to Mr, Lewis‘ let- tier. He appears to be troubled with senility ta word which lie Intro- duces", on taking an expansive view of our sins and miseries). After misquotiniz about wine, he Introduc- es himself to Aristotle and Plato. then he noes on a little further and bassinet a hemlock. he Is re- miu led of Socrates. On he goes and I01" his subject. and begins to talk ut bloluierv, immorality. etc., and finaliy ends up with a Psalm- ody. What liiis all this to do wilt-h tlie school curriculum?

I notice ln the issue of the 25th a letter from Rulianiah Sclielnfeld Frank. She appears to think that,

both In the ggvernment-cgntrdled 1 scientific studies such as agricult-

schools and In the universities. It

ure. botany, music. nature studies,

and needs ofcur folk, farmers. fishermen, and wage. earners. Their Income Is Usually somewhat longer. 'I‘I'Ielr Interests,

think

much more successfully by knowing the language of the Latins. For ex- ample we have in botany such

both occupational and social, are' wllrds a5 Dolvllamqus, dfcotyledons,

necessarily different. Theb- place of residence, In an urban centre with Its conveniences and com- forts, and its quite different 11v- lng conditions, makes It. hard for them to enter with sympathy Into the needs of the rural‘ folk In par- ticular. They associate mostly with business, professional, and offlclal classes whose Incomes. Interests, outlook on life, have little tn com- mon wlth those of the average citizen. Most of these people ex- pect to send some If not: all of their children at; least to the higher grades of the High School course (ll and I2). If not on to thel university. For these and other reasons, our educational author- Itles are almost of necessity, In spite of the very best Intentions and even after serious effort to understand and appreciate, out of vital touch with the ilccds and conditions of the great majority of the eople whose children at- tend on y the common schods. Again It happens that. the oc- casional farmer who can afford the luxury of a university edu- cation for his child ls alivays In danger of unconsciously assuming the same attitude and of defend- Ing the study of subjects such as the foreign languages. partly be- cause they feud B 501-1; o; ex. cluslve dI-tlnctlon to the possessor.

- Swedenborg- Remembered,

(Moncton Transcript)

‘Emanuel Swedenborg was born at Stockholm, January 29, 1688, and his native country Is com- memorating the two hundred and flftletli anniversary of Ins birth by a special issue of stamps bearing his portrait. In some ways, swed enborg recalls the American Ben- jamin Franklin, eIgIitc-en years his junior. Ho was a many-sided gen- fus of great originality with scient- ffc inclinations and wllli mense curiosity to not at the why and wherefor of things.

Swcdenborgis father was abfshop

of the State (Protestant) church. The son was Vfflflllfited at the University of Upsirii and, after

four years of travel. was elven a position In the College of Mines by Carl XII, who became his friend. For hlm, Sivedeiiborir Invented a rolling machine to transport can- non OVPI‘ the mountains Io the slcge of Fietlerlcksliall.

FOODS MAY CAUSE STOMACH AND ABDOMINAL SIMPTUMS iRESEblBLlhU CANCER. ULCnNI GALLSTUNES

For a number of years Il. has been. known that certain Lods cause urticaria (lIlVeS) In some In- ldivlduals. Eating stra/wberrles was about. the first food noted as a. cause of hives because so nmny were afflicted at tlie strawberry season.

I To-day It ls known that. many of lour most. nourishing foods-mount.

An Individual mus afflicted Ls |sald to be “sensttlve or “a1lergic" b0 the articular food or foods blur. cause s In Irritation. Later it was found that. Instead

. of skill irrltatlons some foods caus- ed "Iiead colds" and even asthmatic symptoms.

' SLII later It vras found that. It Is certain foods that cause upsets of the stomach and III-bestlne. This was hard for some Indlvfduals to understand because they “Ilked" tlie food or foods tihat were found to be tlie cause of the stomach and intestinal disturbances. There.

lwcre szmc however who stated

that, “I like nipples, eggs, or let- tuce. but they don't like me."

It is only very recently, however. that many stomach and Intestinal disturbances such as chronic In- digestion, diarrhoea, constlpatlou. syniiptsms resembling apper-Idlcltls. .co2Ic, Inflammation of large In- testine (mucous colitis) were found to be due to sensltlveness to foods. Dr. W,H. Browning In New OI‘- leans Medical and Surgical Journal states that In addition to the usual "indigestion" symptoms In many cases of peptic ulcer (ulcer of the stomach and small Intes- t-ine) IIEZIIIIIg falls to take pkace because the patfen-t ls sensttlve t0 certain foods. In fact, tihe food to which an Individual Is sensitive may cause symptoms slmllur to ulcer, In that ain comes on from

[other forms of skin inflammation.

Another annoying ailment due to sensftlveness to certain foods Is eczema of the anus (lower open- 1m of the bowel). It ts not sur- prlstng that. eczema In this region falls to clear up, when It Is being caused by a food eaten regularly.

Instead of thinking that foods to which we are sensitive cause only skin ti-rltatlon, liead colds and asthma. we should remember that: those foods cause cases of stom- ach and Intestinal disturbances that are thought to be due to ulcer, cancer. gialf stones, appendi- cltls and other abdominal all- LPIIW
