In the days when the Greeks were in power? In the Roman period? Or at any time in the early dawn of history?" ' Answering his own questons Rev. Mr, Lews stated that he was glad that he was privileged to live in this age, the age when men's minds are broadening out, the age when sclen- titic developments follow each other in such rapid succession that it fis hard to keep track of them, in this age, the world is undergoing a great moral change, an age that he de- scribed as being an intellectual one. Old ideas are being relegated to the discard because they have outlived their usefulness, said the speaker, Touching on the situation in the Far East especially e time when little more than a wdek ago things 'had assumed a grave aspect, the speaker stated that he was glad to live in an age when men could show their strength in holding back the tow of war, The same situation, a few years ago, the speaker averred, !would have resulted in the streets being deluged with blood, We {should be thankful, he declared, le- cause we live in the Dominion of Canada which is today the home of | the most demoeratic and progres- sive people in the world.

The way it is now, the pub- lic are clamoring for coal, and the dealers, trying to comply with these wishes, must obtain it through the in- dependent coal companies (handled by the brokers) until the line company's coal is available, Mr. Fowlds then asked Mr, Trick-- Do you think that we are profiteer- ing? W. J. Trick then said to Mr. Fowlds, "You have admitted that you had re- ceived a certain percentage of line company's coal which you had bought at $8.60 at the mines, If you are sell ing this coal at $20 per ton, delivered in Oshawa, you are certainly profiteer- ing. Examined Books Mr, Johnston then produced certain figures, which he had obtained from an inspection of Mr. Fowlds" books, previous to the meeting, which show- ed that the average cost of line com- pany coal and independent coal at the mines was $13.20 per ton, to which must be added freight, brokerage and the cost of handling at this end. Mr. Dixon, in reply to the question as to how he was able to sell coal at a reduced figure, stated that he had been making customers take a ton of semi-anthracite coal with a ton of an- thracite, thus enabling him to give a lower price than the other local deal- ers. Mr. Sargent, when requested by the chairman to give his view, stated he was in exactly the same position as the other dealers, and that if the in- dependent coal were cut off, that 75 per cent, of the necessary coal supply for Oshawa would be affected, as at the present rate of cars coming through from the United States, only 25 per cent. of the supply was line companies' coal, the remaining 75 per cont. being purchased through the | brokers. | Mr. Henry, when asked the reason | as to the increased price, stated, that he thought it was due to the mines being idle after the recent strikes, and {that the mines were forced to put up | thelr prices to help take care of the {loss sustained owing to the strikes. Leave It To Council After much heated discussion on both sides, with little apparent re- sult, W. J. Trick decided to leave the matter over until the next council meeting, when he would make the mo- tion that the Fuel Controller be re- quested to set the price on coal in Gshawa, as he has done in other mun- icipalities. Mr. Morris stated that supposing the Fuel Controller did set the price, that it would only be Line Com- pany's Coal, as a basis, and that if Line €oal was not available, that the dealers would have to buy through the brokers as they are doing now. on the {tings Limited.

H. Pom- mer in a recent address. The speak- er has for fifteen years heen pro- fessor in the University of Missouri. "We need," he proceeded, "schools of music "to make professional music- fans of high standing, with the awakened interests which university associations awakens--schools of music which incidentally offer stu- dents of all divisions of the university frequent opportunities of coming under the spell of the great com-! posers. The trend of modern education is toward the training of the intellect at the expense of the emotions. Left! to themselves, the emotions turn to unspeakable jazz and lurid moving pictures for sustenance. This con- dition of affairs offers a serious im- pediment to the all-round develop- ment of students--an all-round development which can only be brought about by adding a systema- am tic training of the emotions to the already existing systematic training of the intellect. Music, the mother tongue of all humanity, and the love for which is inborn in every heart, offers the best means for the nourish- ment of that side of our nature which, as faith, triumphs where reason fails, Let no one for a moment think that the proper study of 'music is but a pleasing dalliance. Harmony, counterpoint, canon and fugue, form and orchestration are strict sciences, the complete mastery of which equips the composer for artistic utterance." As an {illustration of the fact that music is gradually' making its way into the colleges and universities, there is the report recently issued by the United States Government which shows that seventy-six colleges are accepting applied music for col- lege entrance credit, that 112 are giving credit for applied music and that 77 colleges are conferring the degree of Bachelor of Music.
