The Medicine Bat News of Feb- ruary 8, eays that Mr. B. F. Souch, Phm. B., of that city, (who is by the way a West Durhamn boy, son of Mr. andi Mme. Samuel E. Soucb, now of Stettler, Sask.,) bas just returneti fr»om Edmonton, Alta., where ho ad- dressod the Convention of the Pro- vincial Scha.ol Trustees' Association on Defective Eyesighlt in Relation ta, Ratardatian in school progrese of chiltiren. Bore are a tew paragraphe tram bis opening remarks ta the Conven- tion: Defectivo vision la undoubtedly -one of the chiot causas of retard&- tion in aur scha ais, andi atde greatly ta thbe cost cf educatiion. Eacb yoar that a pupli is rtarded-that is, kept in the sae grade two years in- steati cf one-the cost of educatios, is incroaseti $72, based on the aver- age par capita cost in Alberta. Be-. sides the increaseti cost, the child is humiliateti Und discauragati, and it oten means a yoar cut off the education aof the chilti. The greaitar the number of ratardeti putpils the greatar numbar of young mon and wamen Who are Iturnad ont inade- qnately equippeti mentally ta make their way in the warld. Later la lita thasa atten bacoma a charge up- an thoir relatives or upon the com- snnnity. The scba.al trusteep of Alberta are rosponsible ta a large extenit for the education cf overy chilti in the province betweeil six and fourtéen years of age. The Dopartsnent cf Eduication prescribes the course of study but the trustees have ta fin- ance the onterprise by providing buildings, equipment and "alries for the toachars. Tharetoare, it le suroly the duty of the school trustees ta, remove, as far as possible, every- thing that handicaps the chilti in maldng progrees in echool. Wa use aur eyes for near work under modern conditions a great deal more than people did a ganora- tion or so ago.

The letter we publisb this week f rom Rev. Samuel Gorlay Brown of Mon- treal, apipoals very strongly ta us as we are positive it will ta vory many other Daringianians at 'hoîme or away tram the Homeland of Dur- ham. We have mare in store for the public yet. We take the liber- ty of using a paragraph tramn a par- sonal latter ta the editor sent by Mr. Brown, in which he wrikes: If we could only get aur yaung people ta see that there were oppor- tunities at home that will compare favorably with those abroad, it would help to salve the problem of the rural districts end some of the smaller towns, as well as dissipate the nerva-racking restlassnesof the rising gerieratian. STANDARD BANK SHOWS FIVE MILLIONS INCREASE An increase over the proviens year of fivo millions in deposits and an impravement of $85,000 in net earn- inge are outstanding features of the 51st annual statemant of the Stand-I ard Bank of Canada which bas just been publisheti. The total deposits now 9tand at $68,432,044.19, as compared with $63,432,377.46 at last statamant. Net aarnings amounted ta $773.823.- 56.

Cash on band and in the Central Gold Reserves is $10,619,667.75 or nearly 14% of the Bank's liabilities ta the ptiblic, while the total as- sets immedately available stand at $41,468,854 or slightly more than 52% of the liabilities ta the pub- lic. Commercial Loans have in- creased by $2,200,000 which would indicate that the Bank je a.ble ta em- 9ploy its funds to adivantaga. On thbe whole, the figures indicate that the year 1925 bas bean a gaod year fýor business generally, that the Standard Bank has enjoyati its ful share of prevailing prasperity, and *bas bean able ta attract itself a con- siderable volume of new andi profit- *able business.
