Arthur Living Education Week Ont of ail the talk that today fis the air about a better world after the war, three things. generaily, stand out as of prime im- portance, Heaith. Education. and Equity for Agriculture. Attend to these with the at- tention each shouid have and we need not have any qualins about living ini a better worid. Iateiy we have had prononcements by leaders on ail three subjects. The thing to do is to so arouse Public Opinion that accomplishment shall follow blue prints. Dean J. G. Aithouse of the Ontario ('ollege of Edncation has recently tnrned the searchlight on our present educational svs- tem. He had these things to sa-, Forty years ago, only about 15 or 20 per cent of pupils attempted a high school course, the general public expecting secondary schools to prepare a selected few for leadership in the community through the iearned professions. To- day. conditions are vastly changed, particularly since the introduction of compulsory attendance laws. "'An intelligent programme for the future de- pends on three forms of co-operation from the the public - a clear statement as to what is ex- pected from the schoois, the willingness to pay for what is wanted; and a personal, sympa- thetic interest in the way every school is man- aged. "Every school reform is based upon the as- sumption that the teachers will be persons whose scholarship is sound and adequate; who are endowed with warm, magnetic personali- ties and a natural sympathy for children; per- sons with a profound knowledge of chiid psy- chology and a high degree of teaching skjll. "For such persons, how much are we willing to p ay? The last availabie figures show that the median salary for ail teachers is almost ex- actly hall the income regarded by the Ottawa authorities as the minimum subsistence income for a family. "Are citizens concerned with the fact that the salaries ordinarily paid to school teachers fail to attract into the profession a fair share of the out-standing young people ot the country?" Other school objectives demanding clarifica- tion are citizenship, character-building and so- cial effectiveness. And, parents must find time to evince more than a perfunctory interest in the school and thus make the school an integral part of the community." vý Apple Rationing Apples, apple juice. dried apples, apple sauce, ini fact any applie products wcre not placed on the ration coupon list. but apple butter came under the hainmer of the W.P. T.B. and a 24 oz. jar required 4 coupons. An indignant holusewife wrote a letter to The Toronto Globe and Mail eoniaining about this and others took up the plaint. The Statesman reporter ealled at a local store and sure enougli, there \vas a tagr on the jar of apple butter. -'4 coupons." But the verx' next day it ivas removed.

The trouble often is that know- ledge is withbeld until labot' makes il force- fuilly, knoxxn. The Statesman congratulates the Bow'manville employees attendant at the banquet. _V Power Over People's Minds We urge readers la read the penetrating address of Henry F. Janes, M.A., which ap- pears it our Rotary Club report. Many leaders today, inciuding George Drew, -John Bracken, Brooke Ciaxton, Gordon Graydon, have spoken, cbaileingiy, of late, to Mo- dernize our educational outiook and svstem. Thinkers like Mr. Janes gyo even further in the malter of cause, effect and cure. We are clecades behind in our educational setup. We hav'e paid far' 100 small salaries to tea- chers to make thieir jobs attractive. As a pertinent footîtote to Mr. Janes' ad- dî'ess xve append hereto "Nîne Rules For R-e- vohtion found at Dusseldorf, Germany, by Aliied Military Intelligence after Hitler started his Mind Maslery. The points il- luminate the facts presented by Mr. Janes: 1. Corrupt the young. Gelthtiemn interested in sex. Make them superficiai. Destroy their ruggedness. 2. Gel control of ail means of publicity and thereby gel people's ninds off their govern- ment by focusing their attention on alhletics, sexy books and pinys, and other Irivialilies. 3. Divide the people mbt hostile groups by constantiy harping on controversial malters of no importance. 4. Destroy the people's faith in their natural leaders by holding these latter up 10 ridicule, obloquy and contempt. 5. Always preach Irue Democracy, but seize power as fast and ruthlessly as possible. 6. By encouraging government extravagance, destroy ils credit, produce a fear of inflation with rising prices and general disconlent. 7. Foment unnecessnry strikes in vital indus- tries, encourage civil disorders and toster a lenient and soft altitude on the part of govern- ment towards these disarders. 8. By specious argument cause the breakdown of old moral virlues honesty. sobriety, contin- ence, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness. 9.

BUILDERS DRIVE PEGS FOR FUTURE CORNERSTONES The Moscow Agreements Are the most constructive internation- al achievement of the past 25 years. force. This war could neyer have hap- pened but for the disunited stale r ea1i ze how close the freet.~ world came compiete defent' and long dîsas-i-ýý ter. ot those nations1 of the worid peace. The Axis: bid for mol mastery was thee ever made in all history. Not tîli this war is over, and tee whole bold, will we al only the short range trute. The longer range tact is that Germany, Ilaly and Japan com- bined neyer did constitule mare than a amail fraction of total world power. 'îhey oniy became a threat, and world peril, because four-fit ths of the human family retused till 100 late ta combine constructiveiy ta keep the peace. That hs Why The Four-Square declaration from Moscow really marks the first maves toward a great human structure. Il wouid be a mistake ta caîl il the actuai laying of the four cornerstanes of the coming parliament of man. But il is aI least like the driving in of those builders' stakes which mark the spots where the corner- stones can be well and truly laid. The four-square argeement meets many of the requirements of the only kind of warld body which is now buildable. 1 It is hased on righteousness- a determination ta achieve and keep the peace on a basis of decency and justice. It is based on equality of rights as between the nations. For it is ta be open la ail sovereign na- tions, providing only that teey demonstrate their wiliingness 10 abide by international law and 10 heip keep tee pence. Il is based on the realties of power. That is, il is ta be backed by ail the physical power of l members of the cammunity of nations. Il is not ta be buill on the quicksands of the fally which imagines that lawbreaking can be ended by mere platitudes or fine- saunding words. But It hs On Two Other grounds thal this achievement seems ta me the most hopeful of ail the pnst quarter century. Ever since 1917 there has been an open or secret struggle being waged as between the Saviet on the one hand and the capitalistic democracies an the other. Oniy a blind fool or plain liar could pretend thal the hostility worked oniy one way. The moves and counter-maves neyer stapped - not only between the two world wars but even during this war ilseif. Cynics will say: Better wail awhile before we conclude that the tussie is over yet. They may be right. But aI ieast the principals which had been waging the open or secret struggle in the pasl now say they are go- ing b ltry ta work tagether as part of a real team. Moreover they have togelher laken the first steps. Above AUI The Signlng of the future death warrant of racial ar- rogance. C h i n a becames the Asialiecocrnerstone of the Four Square plan. Il may be a long lime bef are the effects of this change are tully feit. But as teey came they wiil be infinitely more world changing than ail the rest combined. The white man's rule is dying now in Asia and Africa in ail ils hideousness. For instance, in India where gross inadequacy of the system the white man upheld TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Nov. 7, 1918 There was $25,000 subscribed to the Viclary Loan by local Goodyear employees at Bowmnn- ville, in less than seven haurs' canvass and citizens were arous- ed 10 hear the fnctary whistle blawing nI 3 p.m. Applications wili be received by John Lyle, Town Clerk, for the position of Night Policeman for Bowmanville.

TWO GOOD ROADS TO WORLD PEACE The Moscow Conference Has sketched the rough oullines of the world organization which will aI- tempt 10 keep the peace when this war ends. One immediate effecl of this was ta induce th1e United States Senate ta make ils own declaration on the same subject conform with the Moscaw words. Thus il is clear that there is as yet 10 be no pooiing of sovereign- ty. There is flot yet to be the yielding by the nations af the power 10, deciare war and 10 make peace. This will be a minor dis- appaintment ta, peopie, like my- self, wha believe that there neyer can or will be completely solid and permanent peace belween the nations until thase nations sur- render the legal 'right" ta make attncks on others. What is 10 came out of this war is a second League of Nations, 10 be called a "Community." But il is ta be composed cf "free and sovereign" nations, who are 10 enjoy Iheoretical equality of rights. Il wauld be easy ta shoot this declaration ful cf hales-nnd ta show that future pence could lenk awny through any one of many of them. But that wouid be un- fair ta minimize an historic for- ward step. There Are Two Distinctiy Dl!- ferent approaches 10, the ideai cf the parliament of man. Bote ronds shouid be followed. One is whnt might be cnlled the extensive. That is ta extend ta the whole wide world an organ- ization ta attempt ta keep the pence. To do this il is possible ta, unite ail those nations only on those things which lhey ail have in cammon. The chief interest which al allied and neutral nations now share is 10 prevent future inter- national aggression. Sa long as the worid is divided intc nations as far apart on funda- mentais as are the democracies, the Savietý and the dictalorships of Portugal, Spain and the Argen- tine-just so long there wiil be no possibility of building any reni worid parliament with actuai authorfty ta gavern international affairs. But mennwhiie we have ta try ta, gel alang as best we can, an what common meeting ground we have. But There Il Also The Intensive rond towards worid gavernment. That is by aclual federation or marriage between nations which are niready enough alike in al their wnys cf hf e 10 pool their f utures. Now, once again, the honry aid idea of British Empire federation is being discussed. It is a blind alley, ns il was when il was rejeet- ed in Laurier's day. That is, il would aggravate same probiems. Il would, for instance, make Can- ada marally responsibie for such things as the current famine in India without giving Canadians any effective voice in changing the conditions which made il pos- sible. A far more hopeful approach toward hnrmonized humanity is by outrighl immediate federation of some groups cf nations which already are close together in spirit. The lime is not far ahend when there will be that common citizen- ship between ail the peopies of the United States, Canada, Bni- tain, Ausîralia, New Zeainnd and South Africa. That federation mighl include the Dutch, the French, and the Scandinavians. Or Ihese latter may all find themseives as units in the finaiiy-inevitnbie United States of Eurape. The acid test for good or bad of ahl these lhings is whelher they unite humanity for pence or tend ta divide humanity mbt rival blocs which mean more war. wortey, Hampton, shingled the S.S. room and repnired the church ..Everett Waiters' Jersey caw, astrny for several days, was found near Maple Grave none the worse.

This brings the total lite insurance invest- ments in fighling dollars since the war began to over 775 million dollars - an average of nearly $200 for every insured persan in the Dominion. "As in every other war boan," H. W. Manning, President of the Canadian Lite Insurance Officers Association, said, "lite insurance companies, expressing the will of their millions of policyholders in Canada, again led ail business groups in subscriptions to the record loan that has just been s0 successfuliy put over the top. "In the two Victory Loans this year," Mr. Manning continued, "these companies have invesled 335 million dollars, a sum that wiil exceed their total premium income from their policyholders during the whole of 1943 by more than 16 per cent. Reverting to the total of over 775 million dollars of war boan invesîments by the lite com- panies, Mr. Manning concluded, "This huge sumn of people's sav- ings has had a three-fold and vital significance in Canadian affairs.
