Canada, $4.00 a year; United SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1929 A MEMORABLE OCCASION. The dedication of the new Masonic Temple last night was an occasion long to be remembered by those of the, Masonic fraternity who attended it. The presence 'of the highest officer of the Masonic order in the province of Ontario, and of other high- est officials,' lent a -color and impressiveness to the - occasion, and' endowed it with a solemnity which seems but nafural in such' ceremonies. The new Masonic Temple. on Centre street means more than a mere home for Masonry in the' city, more than a fnonument to the order which it typi- fies. To Oshawa it is a monument to the highest in local craftsmanship, a tribute to the skill of Oshawa workmen. All"who" have been privileged to inspect the building havel.marvelled at its beauty. It is many works of, art rolled into one, and the massive simplicity of its exterior gives only a faint sugges- tion of the beauty that is inside, The architect, the contractor and. theé'individual workmen who had a part in its comstrietion, are to be congratulated on the results tliey: fave achieved from their working with stone, wobd and glass. The occasion, too, was memorable for' the high and noble sentiments expressed: by the speakers at the banquet which, "followed the dedication ceremony. I'reemasonry stands on a plane by itself in the list: of fraternal organizations, and it has flourished be- cause of its High ideals, which appeal to the better side of human "fature, and because its idealism has taken practical form in useful and highminded citi- zenship. | + The Masonig:. fraternity of Oshawa now has a home of which it can well be proud, and it can be complimented; on bringing its plans and ideals to fruition in a lasting memorial. MUSICAL FESTIVALS A few days ago The Times had occasion to com- ment on they growing importance being attached to musical training in this community, particularly in the manner in which the public school children were being given an opportunity for training of this kind. Reports Jrom some sections of Western Ontario, however, seem. to 'show that Oshawa yet has a long way to go before reaching the standard which has been attained by some other cities of Ontario. This week, Guelph and Stratford have seen impres- sive musical festivals, lasting for several days, in which individual artists, choirs and groups of mu- sicians. have vied with each other in winning the coveted honors offered. These musical festivals are big events. The Perth County event, held at Strat- ford, attracted two thousand competitors, and that at Guelph, sponsored by Edward Johnson, the noted tenor, was a striking evidence of love for the vocal art, ) The holding of a musical festival is but one method of showing the. place which music occupies in the life of a community. It is safe' to say that in Osh- awa and the surrounding district there are musical artists of equal merit to those to be found in Perth: or Wellington or' Elgin or Renfrew, in which coun ties musical festivals are held annually. It but needs. the proper medium and the proper encouragement to be brought to the fore, and there could be no finer way of having this done than by the organization of a musical festival by those who have an intense in- terest in its study. THE PREMIER'S ANNOUNCEMENT For the last two or three years Premier Ferguson has been predicting drastic changes in the secondary education system of Ontario. Since he became min- ister of education, as well as premier, he has given close study to the affairs of his department, and while all of his ideas on the subject have not been popular, they have all had some merit. Speaking yesterday in London, Mr. Ferguson in- dicated that he has at last reached definite conclu- sions as to what the government's policy will be re- garding secondary and university education. The announcement was even more drastic than had been forecast in all his previous statements, for he now proposes to have the first year of "the university course taught in the collegiate institutes, and the first two years of high school and collegiate education taught in the public schools, while the age limit for compulsory primary education will be raised from fourteen to sixteen. These are far-reaching proposals, and they will meet with strong opposition. The idea behind them, of . course, is to prevent misfits from wasting time in a year of university work for which they are not fit- ted. And, in the Same way, children who are rot mentally suitéd for secondary education will find this out before they seach the age limit for school at- [ A and Northumberland, $3.00 practicable. " Platakoff's condition . tendance, and will not be so liable to waste their time in a useless effort to acquire a higher academic edu- cation, | That is one side of the question, but there are others. The question of cost will be one of the grounds of attack on the Ferguson plan. To provide the buildings, equipment and extra teachers to give an extra two years work in the public schools, and to add one year more to the collegiate institute course, will mean a heavy expenditure on the part of local boards 'of education, Most of the collegiate institutes, except where new buildings have but recently been erected, are now hard pressed to find accommodation" for their stu- dents. What the situation will be like when they are required to provide for a course of another year can readily be understood. According to Premier Ferguson, the legisiation to put his ideas into effect is to be introduced at the next session of the legislature. That is a long way ahead, but he will need all the time between now and then to convince a great many of the people of Ontario that the changes are necessary or justified. A WORTH WHILE VENTURE In these days when so much of the magazine liter- ature réad by the people of Canada comes from the United States, and gives them a wrong perspective of the part played .by Canadians in the, great war, it is pleasing to be able to welcome a newcomer to the field of magazine: journalism in the formr of "Canadian War Stories." This little magazine, which "is published in Chatham by W. C. LeMarsh, has just 'sent 'out its second issue, and it is of such merit as to be given the highest commendation, The publisher of the magazine has evidently found a wide circle of Canadian writers willing to co-oper- ate with him in producing a purely Canadian maga- 'zine devoted to telling the story of the wartime achievements of Canadians. The list of writers con- tains an imposing list of ex-service men who are famed in the field of journalism, and their contribu- tions to "Canadian War Stories," as well as being entertaining accounts of incidents in the war, strike a high note of literary excellence. : "Canadian War Storics" appears to be assured of a future, since it occupies a place in the magazine field that has been sadly neglected, and at the same time performs a service to Canada by stressing the achievements of her own sons in the greatest war of all time. EDITORIAL NOTES Daylight saving has started in many communities, but it has not encouraged summer to show its face. A night trip on the highway reveals the surprising fact that a great many motorists are aware that there is a law against glaring headlights, The people of Ontario who have been suffering from storms and floods can find consolation in the fact that they are not yet in the tornado area, There should be a triple motto for the Empire shopping 'week.

"PAY AS YOU GO" (Renfrew Mercury) Debentures in connection with waterworks is- sued by the town of Brockville 39 years ago have just been finally retired. Debentures to the value of $100,000 were issued and redeemed, but in pay- ing them the town paid a great deal more in in- terest, this having run up to $153,060. So it stated in a press despatch from Brockville, which with that experience before it will in the coming years probably hesitate about "debenturing' small amounts and piling on interest charges.

MITCHELL, in the Chatelaine, A BEE That Bovy Pours By James W. Barton, M.D. INFLUENCE OF MIND OVER MIND 'When you think about the treat- ment of an ailment of the body you naturally have medicine in mind, but what about the treatment of an ail- ment of the mind? Although some drugs arc used when extreme necessity arises, the treatment of mental ailments, that is in the carly stages, is by the usc of the doctor's mind on that of the patient. \ This is what is known as psycho- therapy which -is. not a hard word when you remember that "psycho" means treatment, Now mental specialists differ in the way they go about the treatment, but it is usually by one of three or four methods, The first is what is called the edu- cational method takes complete command of things and undertakes to educate the mind of the patient. This is often called the Dubois method. He goes into the whole matter with the patient, teaches him enough anatemy, and physiology, to know what his mind should do normally, also some pathology, which is what a condition is. called when it is not normal, that is diseased. He "enlightens" the patient in every way possible and persuades him to take the proper view point about his complaints. This means of course that the patient must have a certain degree of inteligence and that the doctor must give the case. the necessary amount of time. The second method is known as the suggestive method which may even include hypnotism, Certain suggestions are made to the patient that will help him to "get above" his symptoms or depressions, The physician attempts to streng- then his will power, to keep him busy with thoughts about other mat- ters than his ailment. A third method is the "analytical" method, or psycho analysis as you so often see it called. This takes in dreams, and slips of the tongue. The patient is allowed to talk about anything and every- thing that comes into his mind and the doctor notes the subjects he talks about, and what is more im- portant the subjects he avoids. By bringing the avoided subject or subjects to. the light, the doctor can often show that it is really not so important as the patient thinks it is Also that his ideas about it are all wrong, what the right ideas are, and so forth. Now you can readily see that per- sons who are' just beginning to have mental ailments need careful treat. ment and it is the trained specialist, who knows how to appreciate the matter, who should get the best re- sults, However the family physician who really knows the family and all its affairs financially and every other way can often get results in a short tune.

Hon. R. B. Bennett, leader of the op- position in the House of Commons together with Hon, G. Howard Fer- guson, Premier of Ontario, were the chief speakers, Important legislation is being con- sidered by the Ontario Government for introduction at the next session of the legislature, Mr, Ferguson, told the convention. Mr. Ferguson's long discussed change in the educational system of the province will be laid before the House and if the finances of the province continue as favorable as they are at present there will be a reduction in the automobile license ee and in other taxation. He refer- red particularly to the amusement tax and indicated it would likely be el- iminated. Mr. Ferguson said his educational policy involved "a complete reorgan- ization of the educational system of the province and will be a reform comparable to those introduced half a century ago by Dr. Egerton Ryer- son." The first two years of the uni- versity course will be transferred to the high schools and the first two years of the high: school course to the primary school, It is in line with his policy of bringing education 10 the people, he asserted, It will enable, he pointed out, the farmer of the back concession to give his children the benefit of more ad- vanced education without sending them away from home, where rish of failure and detachment from home ties is heavy. Similarly is will enable students to receive their first years of what is now university education near home. They will be less expense to parents during the years ™ when failures are the heaviest. He denicd the contention that the plan would in- volve a great increase in the cost of education to the provincg. Mr, Bennett assailed the fiscal po- licy of the Liberal government at Ot- tawa and contended they were pay- ing too much attention to avoiding annoying the United States and too little attention to the welfare of Can- ada, Referring o the proposed in- crease in the tariff of the Uniteu States, affecting farm products, the Conservative leader declared Canada could take no objection to it. It was being brought about because Con- gress was legislating for the benefit of the people of the United States, He urged that Canada should fol- low the example of the country to the south and impose a tariff for the benefit of Canada. "Unless we have a government in Canada," he said, "whose concern is for the Canadian people the government has failed, Our business is not reprisals or re- criminations but the development of Canada, the giving of employment to Canadians, and keeping our people in this country." Mr, Bennett quoted from a speech of Premier King dealing with the United States tariff policy in which Mr. King had said the policy of his government was to deal with prob- lems as they should arise in the light of conditions. He contended it was the duty of a government to look to the future and make preparations, TODAY"S LIST OF AUTO ACCIDENT 5 WESTERNER INJURED Toronto, May 11.--A few hours af- ter he had arrived in the city from Saskatchewan, Wladyslaws Pheonk, aged 45, was run down at Queen street and Palm¢.s.on avenue by a motor car.

Ohina, Tientsin, is to have a new hospital. | DUST PROOF ENGINE FOR AEROPLANES Blower Device Invented by Com. Karl Smith San Diego, Calif., May 11, -- A stream of water from a garden hose recently was directed for half an hour at the carburetors of a running airplane engine without causing one mis-fire. Between the nozzle of the hose and the carburetors there was a small device called a cleaner- blower, invented by Com. Karl Smith. It is designed to protect intern- al combustion engines from balk- ing or going dead from dust or water drifting into their carbure- tors, It is intended primarily lor airplanes, The device is installed beneath the motor on a plane, and in the blast of air from the propeller. Its mouth is covered by a coarse screen to stop stones or to break up waves that may be thrown up by pontoons. Inside the blower are vanes that set the air blast to whirling. The water, caught in this powerful whirlwind, flattens against the sides of the blower and runs out of an opening in the rear. Dust con- centrates in the direction of an- other 'opening that passes it out into the air. There are no mov- ing parts. The inventor claims that the blower does not lessen horsepow- er, and that experiments indicate it increases motor efficiency. It can be installed on autos and Diesel engines. Believed to be a relic of a war- time air raid, a shell exploded in a garden at Poplar, England, re- cently, severely injuring a boy who was playing with it, RADIAL AND SEDAN CRASH, TWO.
