l4 Reactionary Leader

J. S. Woodsworth, Labor member of the House of Commons for win- nipeg North Centre, uttered a vital criticism when he characterised Mr.

King's opposition to the vote for vocational education as re- actionary and. behind the spirit of the times. The Liberal leader's professed objection to this nleasure is not that aid to technical instruc- tion lacks merit, but thut the B. N. A. Act made education a charge on the Provinces, nnd that consequently it is "a vicious practice" to vote Federal money to train young Cu- nadians for skilled vocations, iuclud lng agriculture. ,

merit was "doomed to defeat":

Because "it promised economy but created new offices, increased salar- ies, and increased the cost of admin- istration in public offices.

Because it failed to "effectually present our claims at Ottawa.”

Because it "violated the principles cf responsible government by Orders- in-Council."

Because it committed the Province "to vast expenditures amounting to $875,000 in five years” for highway improvement under the Dominion Highways Act.

Because it "did little or nothing to promote the great basic industry o! Agriculture." '

Because, "with a. revenue greater Y than the Liberals enjoyed" it “only t gave about $30,000 towards increas- HIE,’ the teachers‘ salaries."

Because it "failed so miserably in J operating the Prohibiton Act that it ,shirked the responsibility and threw i it on the shoulders of a Commission.”

Because the Public Accounm (pre- pared and certified to by Mr. John Anderson, Provincial Auditor) were “incomplete, inaccurate and mislead- ing and did not set forth the true condition of our finances."

Because it placed laws on the Sta.- tute books "allowing them to become a dead bu...»

Because it increased the expendit- ure at Falconwood.

Here are charges, brought by the Liberal press against the Arsenault Government. which apply with much greater force today against the Lea. The Lea Government promised economy, and increased the cost of administration in public of- flces; it promised effectually to pre- sent our claims at Ottawa, and failed miserably therein; it violated the principles of responsible government by Orders-in-Council; ' it committed the Province to vast expenditures for highway work, borrowing the money to do so and spending nearly as much in One year as-the Arsenault Government, under the Dominion Highways Act, proposed to expend in five years; it did nothing to imp/le- mcnt its promise regardng the pro- motion of fruit. growing, dismissed the fruit expert then employed, and discontinued many of the agricul- tural short courses instituted by the Stewart Government. With a rev- enue much greater than the revenue received by any previous Government, it gave nothing “towards increasing teachers‘ salaries." It repudiated its prohibition promises and “passed the buck" to the Prohibition Commission. Its Public Accounts, (prepared by the same Auditor who prepared the Ac- counts under the Arsenault Govern- ment) were shown conclusively to be "incomplete, inacccuraie and mis- leading." Moreover it placed many laws on the Statute Books, including a. number of supposedly important Prohibition amendments-and allow- ed them to "become a dead letter." It also increased the expenditure at Falconwood by several thousand dol- lars annually over that of the Stew- iirt Government.

Judged by the standards which the Liberal press professed to apply to the Arsenault Government in 1919, the Lea Government has indeed shown um it is "doomed to defeat."

- I B) [elm W. Barton. MD. WHAT ABOUT YOUR VACATION?

During the month of June I al- ways like to say something about summer vacations.

Fortunately in most countries-now the need of a. vacation, for a. change, i: a0 well recognized that everybody tries to manage for it.

I think, generally speaking, that it is unwise for any health writer to advise his readers just how to spend their vacations ,and yet there is one rule that 1 think I can advise and that readers can follow safely. ‘Ti-lat is that during your vacation “you do wlnf. you want to do." That you try and follow in so far as is possible, those longing! of what you have been thinking or planning during the rest of the year.

One of the things that used to bother me somewhat, was to see young people, young men and women, go on a. vacation, be out- doors swimming and boating all day, and then dance until the hour when the hotel lights were turned ofl’. Where this was kept; up for the en- tire two weeks, some of these young folks went back to their work more tired and worn out than when they started on their vacation. And yet as I think of it, they did what they wanted most to do, and the fulfill- ment of that desire, was perhaps of more benefit to them the rest of the year than if they had rested the en- tire two weeks.

The sugestion I make to patients or friends ls that they simply rest and relax the first two or three days, keeping outdoors all the time; then for about ten days they lay out a plan of what they'd like to do, walk- ing, swimming or boating till one hour before lunch time, getting an hours rest before lunch. After lunch, sitting around for an hour then spending the afternon again at what they like best, swimming, golfing, fishing, walking-until an hour be- fore the evening meal, then a rest of an hour before they eat. After the evening meal another period of rest- ing, dozing in s. chair, but not lying‘ down. The evening to be spent ac- cording to the means at hand for their enjgyment. Then-the last cou- ple o.’ days spent resting entirely again.

Qt course the ideal vacation, where possible, is foreach of us to try and be as free in mind and body as when we were youngsters. You know, all a young animal does is to eat and sleep, but to this we must add exercise if we are to use up or burn up the large amount of food that the outdoor air has made us eat.

We can't enjoy a vacation or get a real benefit from it if we continue to think. worry. and elm as w. do dur- ing the rest of the year. That is why trying to turn the years backward, and thinking ourselves carefree youngsters again, will give us the right. point of view for a vacation.

merit, some of the. greatest writers in the world have sadly missed the mark. The Ellzabethans wrote hundreds of plays. Henslowe, who acted as marketing agent for these effusions, tells us in his diary ‘that one dress for the leading lady on the stage cost more than was paid for the dramatic manuscript itself. Shakespeare received five pounds for his "Hamlet"; Milton a similar sum for “Paradise Lost,’ and Fanny Burney the same rate of pay for "Evelina." Dryden made very little money by his plays, although they were popular enough at that day; but his translation of Virgil, pub- llshed by Tonson, brought Dryden twelve hundred pounds. Pope re- ceived more than five thousand pounds for his translation of Homer, which assuredly is a. good deal more money than Virgle and Homer com- blned ever got for original texts.

Can the same be said of Mrs. Radcliffe, who was given as much money for the writ- ing of "The Italian" and “The Mysteries of Udolpho," two books which might after a long search be found upon two-penny stall. We can much better understand why l Fielding found himself better off by ' some seventeen hundred pounds lifter his romances of "Tom Jones" l and "Amelia" had gone to the press. ' But again, all calculations are thrown ‘I out of gear by learning that old George Crabbe took from Murray I three thousand pounds as pay for his poems. He certainly had no reasca‘ to complain o.’ cracked, panes and straw rags. Tom Moore pocketed ‘a like. sum for "halls.
