Dcfence Industries, Ltd., at Ajax, are stili the outstanding op- partunity fan those wbo want ta serve in the front lines ai war industry.

The Ont aria Hospital at Wbifby is in urgent need af nurses' aides. Tbis is a scm i - professional occupation which is becaming ai increasing importance., There is a course ai lectures for bath male and female employees whicb is equivalent ta any home nursing course given anywhcrc, and, besides, this qual- ifies for the nursing cane ai the mentally ill. From the point ai view ai war effort, Anglo-Saxon people pride thcmselves that no matter what the exigencies ai the situation, the underprivileged are not neglected and more attention is being paid ta mental bealth now than at any time in the last fifty years. As a matter ai fact, in any year marc than hahf the people admit- ted during that yean arc discbarg- cd befone the year ends, and from 65 ta 75 per cent ai ail admissions are expected ta be dischanged. 50 that the rate ai curcs is as great as any gencral hospital. It is truly a work warthy ai the bcst effort ai any tbinking persan. In addition ta this, the remuner- atian is good; three wceks paid holidays eacb yean; excellent liv- ing accommodation is provided in the nurses' homes; recreational facilities are splendid; continuity ai employment is assured and those wha quaiify are eligible fan promotion when vacancies occur. Average education and a desire for a cancer ai this nature arc the only qualifications nccessary. The Selective Service Office in Oshawa wîi be only toa glad ta give funther information fa wo- men interested in cithen af the above appeals.

We give herewith composite views of authorities wbich were gathered frorm four daily papers in a single day's reading: A. E. O'Neill, Principal afi Osbawa Collegiate Institute, speaking at Peferboro said: "Pupils taday need a broad lib- eral educafion, tbey need ta know1 the science of good and evil, theJ philasophy of life and culture sub- jects to enhance vision. Schools must hold the ideal of first rate, for if their souls are neglected, their beritage is tbrown away.j The teachers are not alone at fault for they are battling other forces. Many boards are interest- ed only in examination resuits,i and the inspectars criticize feacb- ers for talking too much in class. But the teacher is good who can so stimulate a student, that be will carry on the subi ect out of scbool. "Who's wrong? The lot of us. We will not straighten ouf until we make more out of bistory, lit- erature, pbilasophy and religion. We get experts for mathemnatics and science, but anyone will do for the cultural subjects." Cecil F. Cannon, Ass't Chief In- spector, Dept. of Education, To- ronto, told the Ontario Education- al Association that trends in edu- cation included. .Improvements in behaviour of pupils, equality af apportunity, enlargement of local scbool areas, increased in- terest of citizens and the develop- ment of Christian ideals. "Wbile teachers' salaries had sbown a marked improvement, he said there was stili much ta be desired in this respect. The median salary for ail Canada was $751." Rev. T. W. Jones, Minister of Calvary United Church, Montreal, advised Higb School Graduafes, "A vital challenge faces ahl gradu- ates foday, since these are the days in which thousands of young men and women are shawixng their stuff and courage in the way they are responding ta the bigh caîl af sacrifice and valiant en- deavour. Let us ever remember that the challenge ta heraic enter- prise is still sounding and will continue ta sound, yes, even after victary is won, for the days of re- construction will caîl for a cour- age and sacrifice akin ta that be- ing sbown by the young men and women who are now in the armed services of their country." Rev. Dr. Malcolm Campbell,1 Chairman, Montreai Protestant1 Scbool Commission, stressed the value af a goad education: "Look where you will today; you will find that the men and women of superior education are fiiling the best positions. In fact, ta obtain a position at aIl, a good education is practically indispensable." Urg- Zion Mr. and Mrs. Refard Cameron and family attended the Golden Wedding of Mr. and Mrs. S. G.
