This provision is entirely just. And while some buoyantly healthy teachers may oe- casionally stay away when not very ill, such are probably a most insignificant minority, And as to "aching teeth" and "sore toes' being ciied as flimsy pretexts for reporting sick, Trustee Garbuit may be in the happy position of not being seriously acquain.ed with either complaint, The only job that azrees with an earnestly aching tooth is wholesale murder in orphan asylums; and a sore toe can turn an angel of sweetness and light into one of those teachers that figure on the comic valentines, Oshawa's teaching staff, both collegiate and public, is one of the city's most valuable assets, Their service, devotion, and ability needs no further witness than the fact that 80 little is heard from them except monthly reports of attendance toat aie prooaniy un- equalled anywhere else in Ontario, A blanket charge in a matier affecting their incegrity cannot be passed without, at east, a mild rebuke, EDITORIAL NOTES The business of book selling is about due for a revolution, Either cheaper books or rented books can solve the problem of magazine and moving picture competition, Impatience is no less a vice than g virtue, It is the former ven it lacks rhythm, the latter when it moves steadfastly towards a No road, mo street--no "fother side the way" -- No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease, No comfortable feel, in any member,-- No shade, no shine--no butterflies, no bees-- No fruit, no flowers, no leaves,--NOVEM- BER.

"And that's the clutch?* "That's the clutch, darling" he sald, jamming on his 'brakes to avoid a fast approaching lorry. "But what on earth is this?" she inqured, at the same time giving the accelérator a vigorous push with her oot, "This, dear," he said in a soft, cel- estial 'voice, "is heaven" And pick- ing up a harp he flew away. BRITISH PRESTIGE (London Times) Great Britain without committing herself to any further guarantees such as these involved in the mori- bund Protocol proposals, is now in a position to take diplomatic action with every considerable effect if at any point the European situation should again become -acute, Not for a long time has British prestige abroad stood as high as it is today, That is an asset which the present Government has carefully built up and which it has taken great care to dissipate by any form of extravag- ance, There has been no departure from the policy of patient effort on the basis of real achievement, SUPER-SENSITIVENESS (0, O, Mcintyre) Thousands go through life with minor physical disfigurement that cause them unnecessary anguish, A novelist has become a recluse in Eur- ope because of a slight facial blem- ish that would not receive a passing glance, A playwright will rarely ap- pear in public because the tip end of a finger was shot away, the accident. al discharge of a shotgun when a boy.

Yet it has long been a matter of extreme sen- sitiveness and kept him from the public, THE VICTIM TURNED (The Outlook) Torrey, the famous revivalist, was holding a large evangelical mission in Albert Hall, London, He was speaking about the number of peo- ple who either had gone or would go to hell, and, com 3 down to gascs, added: "I am soiry to say that a near relative of my own--my aunt, in fact--died impenitent and has cer- tainly gone to hell" This style of oratory, says the Manchester Guardian proved little to the taste of a young man in the congregation, who rose and made for the door, Whereupon Torrey marked him down in the usual style of revivalist, and improved the occasion with, "Yes, and there is a young man who will cer- tainly go to hell, too! He proceeded to enlarge on this suggestion as the young man made his way slowly to the door, apparently unmoyed, When the victim reached the door, he turned around and addressed the re- vivalist for the first time: *"Ta-ta, I'm off! Any message for auntie? Or shall I just tell her you'll sce her ater?"

The desire to be well dressed is healthy. Doctors approve of it on medical and hy- gienic grounds. The modern gurl looks well, is well, and shows taste in her dress. This keener and more artistic taste for dress is one gain that the world today shows over the world and attractive. The typist is as taste- fully attired as the duches.. It is sheer nonsense to talk about scandalous extravagance. This new taste for good clothes is, on the con- trary one of the most commendable features of the age.
