Dr. D. D. McDonald, Public School Inspector in Toronto, returned to the scenes of bis early studies on Mouday wheu he addressed the memers0fthe Women's Canadlan Club iu St. John's Parlsh Hall. Dr. McDonald received bis liigh school education bere in Bowmauville and be recalled several instances of bis high school life bere. Dr. McDonald is a director of the World Federat- ion of Educationists, and in that capacity bas attended the biennlal conferences of the organization iu Geneva, Dublin, Edlnburgh, and wll attend the meeting tbis year in Ox- f ord. Dr. McDouald spoke on the work of this federation, and lncluded. in bis address a delightful description of a trip to Hawaii f!or a regional conference of the organization. The Federation was reaily the outgrowtb of tbe Great War, the speaker sald, and it was conceived by tbe late Dr. Thomas of Wasb- ington, as a means of brluging about world peace by the co-operation of world educationists. The f irst and organization meeting was beld in San Francisco where the constitut- ion was drawnupu and this great movement for international goodwll and peace was started. Attalument o! sucb ideals are not easy. Dr. McDonald said, but in ed- ucation, the people of the nations bave a common ground on whlch te meet. On the youtb of today, he added, depends tbe progress of the world of tomorrow. and it was the bellef o! tbe federation that tbrough the teachers, who mould and direct the miuds of youth. and who are next in importance to, par- ents, much could be done towards securing a world wide peace. Througb tbe federation the child- ren of many nations are belng taugbt tbe ideals of international goodwfll. the work of the League of Nations, and the histories are belng changed te bring out the character of the great men of the past, rather than se mucb emphasis on the great bat- tles and wars. Dr. McDonald told of several of bis trips abroad for the conferences of the Federation and outllned the Dr. Donald D.
