For the better schools convention to be held in

Charlottetown next Tuesday preparation has been made which assures a large attendanc and more than passing interest. An invitation has been’ extended to every co-operative organization in the province, to every school board, to the clergy and teachers and, in short -to every one who is or who ought to be 'in-‘ terested in the welfare of our people and of the pro- vince. The promoters of the convention are the heads of our various organizations, the Dairymen, the Pro- vincial Farmers’ Institute, the Canadian Farm Pro- ducts, the Womens’ Institutes, the Social Service League and the Teachers Association.

That there \vill be a large attendance from every

part of the province is already assured; that the ser- iousness of the school situation will be laid bare is also assured and it is hoped steps will be taken to

effect a radical change in conditions which all agree `

are heading for a crisis.

No other question now before our people so im-

_peratively demands earnest consideration and in- formed und judicious treatment as that of our pub-

Llberals have been jubllating on

an imaginary affinity between the farmers with themselves. R. W. E. Burnside, President of the U. 5'. O. is the probable candidate to ippose Hon, VV. L. McKenzie King nt the next election to demon- tratc this close frlendsiiip?

We must learn to put first things first and nothing can take pre- ~ cedence over the intellectual guidance of the boys and girls who, a few years hence, \vill be the men and women of the province. the makers or unmakers of its laws, the leaders and the followers of its thought.

' These matters will be discussed at the forth

coming convention by some of our ablest education- ists, by representatives of the rural schools, by men of vision and judgment who realize that we have too long trodden a road that filled with menance. The' reinedy lies, not in conventions or newspaper com- ment or resolutions-although these will do their part iii-arousing the people-but in the homes and in

'the hearts of the people who have, in pursuit of mean

er material thiiigs, lhonghtlessly permitted this downward drift in the things that really matter.

g We trust there will be a large attendance at

this convention and a revival of interest in our schools and in our future.

The Bell Government is determined to make

hay while the stin shines. The future, proverbially uncertain at any time, is even more so at present and they are going to “go it" while the going' is good. The session, which is to give _them their lfirstiself- earned pocket money, is _called for April 6th. They will be called home to begin potato planting not lat- er than May 6th and probably earlier. 'This Will give them just about four weeks in which to expatiate on the debts and deficits they claim to have inherited from thc late government and to make such provis- ion as their united wisdom may dccidc_upon for the future salvation of the Liberal Partv, and, incidental- l_v, to discuss the ali'airs ofthe province. l<`our weeks of five days each-for legislators need Saturday to visit their families over thc week-end, and sometimes lVlond;_i_v to get back-will give them barely twenty four five hour days of active service. At $200 thc session, this will mean ten dollars a day or at the rate of alittle over ilS3,00() a year which, in the lan- guage of the turf`, “going some for youngsters un- der a year old.”

We have no doubt they will find the twentv

t_la_vs long enough and the pay short enough for the Job before them and if they show as much Wis_dom in their legislative duties as in providing themselves with a good da_v`s pa_v at the outset, the session may not be an unproductive one. '

The Montreal Star of recent date says it is pro-I

posed to enact a new bye law iii that city making it an offence punishable b_v a fine not exceeding $40 and costs or two months imprisonment for anyoneto smoke, light matches, oil lamps or candles, in gar- ages orother places where gasoline is kept. No doubt this is considered a necessary law when a city like Montreal proposes to enact it. Charlottetown should have some law of this nature and the public might form themselves into a committee f`or safety, anti have it enforced. So while we await the pleasure of the powers that be to make some such law, why not let us begin now to see that smoking, matches, etc., are prohibited in garages or where gasoline is kept. Let the garage owners and sellers of gasoline get to-

This collection is now the property oi' Mr` Huntington.

The London Book Ring

Ilia next sensational coup was

niatle in London. Mr. Smith said on his return that there existed an Engllsli clique ol’ book huycri-i coni- ntlttrd to the task of keeping pri ces doivn, anti agreeing :ulnong lliomsclves not to bid extruvagnntly ztgaint each other. I-Io declared that tho only lntlopcniient buyer in Idngltiiitl was Qnrtritcli who bought on coniirilssloti for the llrltish Museum. Tile clique sought to have Smith become a member, but he declined and proceeded to bln whatever he felt like. In three weol-ta" lbuyltig he ,spent half si nilllloii dollars and was rarely if ever oiitblddon. Indeed, to be out- bid was no common experience of George D. Smlthls. it was allways asaunind that he had millions bc- Iilnd lilin, and that if he wanted a thing he would get it. He made .1 notable stroke in England when he bought for $1,000,000 the library

lien in Wall Street. llcre his cus-i tomers would certainly not be mon who could not afford to huy a book if it took_thclr fancy. and it was here that Smith became ac- quainted with Huntington. He was able to convince this connoisseur that ho knew the values ol' books and received many commissions to

oct for him. Similar ortlers came tn him from other millionaires In search ofa hobby, who were giving the book-collecting business a whirl utter having got past the more obvious and perhaps excit- ing diversions. The first great sale with which his name was connec- ted was that of the Hoe library in 1911-1.2.It was then that he bought

belonging to the Duke of Devon- shire. Later he sold it to iMr. Huntington at ii profit of $500,000. This bears out our theory that Stmlth made more money out ofl books than any author with per- haps the oxceptlon of Harold Hell Wright, who wn, probably not ills equal as a writer. The gem of tho Devonshire collection was the "Hamlet" quorto of 1603, and In the judgment of Mr. Snilth this was and is the most valuable book in the world. There are. so far an known, hut two copies In existence. We believe that Messrs Shaken- poare. Chaucer, at al have been vastly entertained by the snflds

spirit of_the times.

THE REASON WHY

Why Can We Think of 0nIy'0nc ...Thing at a Time? `

If you are asking the question

intelligently, you must know that to think means to concciitratmiind in that sense we can only think of one thing at ii time, because, it takes all of that part ol' the grain which is used for thinking for just one thing. To give close attention to an-y one subject nit-mis to turn the entire gbriiin lorc_e practical- ly iii one direction. To let other filings pass through the inintl tit the same time niuw apqenr not to interfere with the one thought, bitt they tio. and our conclusions siif~ fer accordingly.

You can be doing sclnlctlilng ivltli

one part of your -hotly, while en- gagetl ln thinking of one thing but only such things as are more or less mechanical as the result of habit, such ns walking or moving the arms-things which thc parts have dono so often that aictul at- tention by the hritin is not nh- soiutely es.~ien\lal.
