While the suspicious ones are wondering what is going to be done, the great bulk of the people will be acting and "doing their bit" in- dividually and collectively. Afterwards Parliament can talk it all over; and make the actions legal or illegal as it pleases. One of the finest things that could be done to cement the bonds of friendship with Britain, and enable Canadians to get a true vision of the great questions that daily come before us would be to discourage bitter partyism, and discuss matters upon their merits. At present, the doings of the Imperial Conference have not been placed before us with the proper explanation of each ginning to jockey for position and are appealing ip some cases to race prejudice in order to gain a following. number of tragedies have been "supposed" as a result of the Imperial Conference decisions. As to the probability of the elected representatives abusing the privilege of greater self-gov- ernment, that is a matter for the people to decide if ever,it is attempted. We have not returned in any sense to irresponsible government. And this is further true--the French people will not be robbed of any of their privileges unless there is greater evidence of "race suicide" than appears at present. There is but little value setting up the straw man as to our responsibility in case Britain should undertake a war against a foreign country in which war we had no part in the making. Every emergency of the future will have to be met at the time; but people need not be frightened that we shall desert Britain, even if she were a bit wrong in the matter. In the first place we wouldn't believe she was wrong, and in the next place we couldn't desert the old Mother Country, anyway. It wouldn't pay us for that matter. We fully understand our need of British protection if danger should arise. . We have no bumptious notions about our ability to protect oursélves against any first class power; but we, like any youngster that is coming of age, would like to feel that we are liberty to run our own affairs. This should not be done, of course, to the detriment of Great Britain, and if anyone wants o sfart a row in this country, let him propose some treaty or eh that would harm Britain. He will soon find out about our loyalty then. The Imperial Conference should and doubtless does, bring to light many plans for co-operation between the Dominions, all of which will strengthen the unity of the Empire. That is the greatest value of these conferences, and there appears to have been the greatest harmony and good feeling at the latest of these. This is the year for the celebration of the Diamond Jubilee of Confederation, and it would be more than unfortunate if the occasion were marred by aspersions of disloyalty where no dis- loyalty is meant. The proper attitude for the elector at present is to wait for further information, and not jump at conclusions. We cannot do anything for the time being anyway: 000 Short ie on Education. The greatest difficulty 'that faces the educationist is to make means of education fit the requirements of the in- dividual student. Infact it cannot be done with any degree of satisfaction, because each individual human being is different from his fellows.

The main thing to be. remembered is ¢his--education : development of the individual, and there are more individuals in the world than our own particular children; and what may seem useless to our children may be the very thing to develop the very best in our neighbor's children.

F. G. Weir Continued from previous weeks, LAKESIDE BEACH i This spot is now well known for a great many visitors ; far and near come to this place during the summer mon tha. Bh There is here a good place for bathing and easy access to the fishing grounds. The grassy slope with western aspect makes a very pleasant spot for picnicing. To the south of Lakeside Beach is (Pettitt's Point, This place also is getting to be widely known for at times there are as many as fifty guests at the boarding-house kept by Mrs. Stephen= son. The scenery around the point is very fine, the view from the balcony of the house exceptionally so. There are here for the convenience of the tourist a good shore; easy access to the fishing grounds, and plenty of boats. The western aspect, the elevation; and the gentle slope down to the shore all combine to make this an excellent spot to enjoy the sunset and all the peculiar charm of summer evenings by the water. There are other places on the Island where one may get boats and find camping ground. The tourist coming down the Centre Road, if not wholly taken up with the business of # will see on his left, when he gets about three miles down the. land Middleton Collin' 8 sign announcing boats for hire, One may also find camp sites and boats for hire at Mr. A. Black's on the side of the hill as you come onto the Island from Port Perry. Besides the tourists who own a cottage or come to board for a few weeks there are some such as Mr. R. D. Hughes and Mz. A. R. Wilson, of Toronto, who have become owners of property on a large scale and have thus amore extensive interests in the Island. We have already said something about Seven-Mile Island and what Mr. and Mrs. Wilson have done there. Mr. Hughes about a year or so ago bought a farm on the west side of the Island about two miles from the head. He has improved the ap- pearance of the place a great deal and has named it "Humewood Farm." = Mr. Hughes has also built a fine cottage on the lake shore. Mardella Farm Mardella Farm is situated on the east side of the Island on + what was formerly known as the Pine Point Road. It overlooks the lake from a high elevation and affords an excellent view of the eastern arm of Scugog Lake. The name "Mardella" was given of Mrs, Marshall from whom part of the farina was pr~ and putting the two together formed the TREES iginal name "Mardella". This farm has become widely. known on account oe qualities of fhe pure-bred cattle raised here. The fame. Graham's herd has gone abroad to all parts of Canada result that he has received orders from as far away. couver and has shipped to points as far east as Nova as far west as Saskatchewan. ; Mardella Farm has been written up by some of leadleading papers.
