ilndeed the youth who has sc- quired “the three Rfs" in our free schools, and goes on to study as he works, will certainly be more practical in respect to the work in which he is engaged than the ‘man whose theories have been develop ed in college. lit was remarked by Carlyle that "man perfects him- self more by work than by read- Ing." That statement is true. But whenwork is accompanied by read- ing then the greatest perfection may be attained.

lt is to be regretted that the sys- tem oi apprenticeship in all the

trades has been supplanted by "courses," in many oi which the

student never; or rarely, comes in- to personal touch with the teacher. The apprentice had the advantage oi constant intercourse with his muster or his foreman—-wlth one who had himself performed the work pncerning the doing oi which he gave instruction. He saw "points" in the course of hiswork to be particularly noted: and he had beside him the man-the living book-who could explain the points, and supply illustrations drawn from his own experiences. So he could obtain the information at first hand that would enable him to overcome difilcultles in his way and to "go ahead." 'Ii he were ‘oi the studious class and if his mind were oi the inventive charac- ter, he could, on the firm founda- tion built up by practical experi- ence proceed to the making of im- provsments and to the perfection of Processes. ‘The wonderful in- ventions of recent years in the fields of mechanics and electricity were the result oi practical experi- ence rather than oi theoretical in- struction. ‘Consequently the ami bitious youth who cannot anon?“ _ go to college need not despair oi success.

Notes By The Way

The Molghen Govenmnont was defeated In the lut general elec- tion on December 6, 1921. Th9 King Government was sworn in on December 29, 1901. The interval was 23 days.

The Drury Government in 0n- tnrio was defeated on June 25th, 1921. On July 7 following the poriiaits of IPremier Ferguson and his-colleagues of the new govern- ment were published in The Guar- dian. 'i‘he interval was 1:2 days. The Boll Government was defeat- ed here on Lluly '26 last. ilt is still holding on to oflice after an inter- vnl oi 28 days.

Comparisons are said to be adlous, but what we desire to call atten- tion to particularly is that the ex- amples to which we refer are con spicuous and they are recent. They are conspicuous because Ontario is thirty times and the ‘Dominion ov- er a ‘hundred times as populous and wealthy as iPrlnce Edward island. The examples are recent. as we have said. One occurred less than two months ago und the other considerably Ieas than two years ago. IMoreover they are the very latest examples that bear up on the point to which we wish to call attention.

And yet when ‘Premier Meighen was called to ac- count for his stewardship he got out in 23 days. He was quite ready for the transfer days sooner than that, but the incoming government was not quite ready. in the Imus- ier oi the Ontario Government both parties acted with commend- oble promptitude, notwithstanding the weighty and multifarious chur- acter oi the matters in hand. In both cases "there was an evident de- sire that public business should not bc needlessly delayed or continued under irresponsible hands.

SCRU-BBING THE TONGUE

There uras an item in the paper the other day which caused consid- erable amusement.

ilt was regarding a boy in New York State who swzuliowed a tlooth brush. it seems that ufetr cleaning his teeth the inner end of the ‘tongue looked as-ii‘ it needed n brushing also, and the boy in at- tempting to get at it let the brush slip dow ninto his stomach. It was re moved, ‘but only utter consider- able difficulty.

But the point In tthe matter was overlooked by many readers. That is that there can vbe a-n accumula- tion of waste mott-ter on the root of the tongue that is actually poison- ous to the system.

Many people with a bad odor t0 the breath which they blame on their teeth or stomach are able to remove the odor entirely ‘bl’ V1501" ous rubbing oi the root of the tongue with a tooth thrush.

Mouth washes are oi course bene- flclal at all time-s and particularly alter meals but when the “fur" coat gets on the tongue only a viiwrmls scraping or brushing W111 Tenwve 11-

0i‘ course it is severally aflcellled that the tongue Slmpll’ ‘reflects m“ condition oi the stomach and in- testine, and that a coittin-i! 011 the

ngu-e means sluggishncss down elow.

But the fact must not be over- looked that the actual deposit on the tongue is a menace to your‘ 5e11- cral health.

-So when you think of the boy W110 swallowed the brush don't forget just what he was trying to do when it happened.

Further, if you keep the brilsh away irom the roof of the nwuib there will not be the same ‘ten- doncy to "has" and perhaps lure your tooth brush.
