'The futile results of the widespread search oh ho ia ae had caused most people 'to give up hope y would ever be found alive, so that, avhen the mews came, it brought about the inevitable yeaction, an outpouring of expressions of pleasure at the remarkable escape which these eight men have had fram death. The full story of tha MeAlpine gh when it is tol, will be another eple of adventure In the north. lahd, Following the trail of the explorer by that newest of transportation methods, the airplane, they ve penetrated far into the morihern wilds reach: in a few days places whieh, by the eld metheds, took menths to reach, They have new nails all aver the map of northern Canada, and theirs has been the type of adventure that is more commonly found in fiction than in truth, Pa In spite of the fact that the radio report says that the party are safe and well, the eight weeks they spent cut off from eivi must have that, suspense : | ¢ and Mody. That they have come all 'safely speaks well, not alone for their physical strength, 'but for their morale, for their qualities of mind which. 'enabled them to stand the terpific strain of iselation in the northern wastes, "The discovery of Col, MeAlpine and his colleagues aaeans a great relief to the minds of many intimately "assnoiated with them, and that feeling of relief and thankfulness will be shared by the whole dominion, NO NEED TO BE DISCOURAGED \ SC 6 women candidates who contested seats ! "the provinelal election need not feel : th their effort, There may be a diss ¢ position On the part of women to feel that it is al Caest a | task 10 try tu secure the election of +. sae of thle number 10 the Ontario legislature, but + that can hardly be taken as tht meaning of the tes Coutts of last Wednesday, © It was net the fact that they wee ween that "vaused*the defeat of these three women in Toronto , port, of course, was RR pe They wers beaten simply because they were not offi- celal Conservative candidatasnnd ran in Torentg, Of course, they should have known better, Bo long as Taranto vemalne ae it Is, It Is hopeless for & Liberal, male or female to think that he or she has # ghost of a chance of being elected to the legislature, Now, IF they had been Conservatives, and had been selected as official candidates, bearing the seal of approval of the party organization, they would have heen all right, and would have had no trouble In rolling up & nies majority, Bo these women, after all, need not feel that' they have disgraced the cause of thelr vex, The worst that ean be said about them is that they used poor Judgment in selecting the constituencies in which they chose to neck elestlon, ' RADIO RUMORS IET------------ The people of Britain were greatly shocked on Sunday when they heard & sadlo mnnouncer in Paris studio hrosdeast the startling information that King George had died from pi attack, The res wite false, but it was some time before the sentradistion sould he given out over the alr, And in that time, it had spread like wild fire by telephong and " people passing on the news tq each other, until the whole eountry 'was in a ferment of anxiety, y Tt in interesting. to note that this rumor was sent out on a Bunday, the day of the week an which no newspapers are published, se that the people had no means of definitely checking its sceurasy, It has been very notiseable, in the past, that many sensa~ tional rumors have bes started by radie broadessts on Sunday, keeping people in suspense until they were exploded by the appgerance of the Monday newspapers, This in highly significant, Tt points to the fact that newspapers play & very important part in keep- ing the public fully informed as to what is going on in the world, Had the rumor of the king's death heen true, the newspapers would very quickly have found means of informing the people about it, But the day being Sunday, and no newspapers being avails able, the way was clear for the rumer-mongers to do their deadly work, One would almost believe that the moral of this is to take radio rumers with the pro, verhial arain of salt unless they are absolutely cons firmed in the columns of the newspapers, GOING TOO FAR The hoard of edweation in Kingston must have been hard put to it to find a subject for discussion at its meeting the other night, for its report shows that a propess! was put forward for consideration that compulsery baths be administered to school ehils dren when desmd necessary. Tan't that a subject for a first class controversy? Fortunately for the peace of mind of the members, and the teachers in the schools as well, the board decided that this would he going too far, and agreed that the home was the best place wherein the pupils could have their baths, One ean readily imagine the roar of protest which would have gone up had this suggestion been adopted, As a rule, hoards of education are supposed to have Jurisdiction over the children for five days of the week, this pried ending on Friday evening, And one could hardly blame peaple if they objected strongly to any board of education taking unto itself the dus ties of the Saturday night tub, one of the mast firmly established traditions of countries where baths are looked upon as part of the routine of life; Perhaps the school nurse who suggested the plan had a great idea for making a practical application of the wiaxim that cleanliness is next to Godliness, but she will have to walt a while before she ean find any board of education daring enough to put that subject on the sehoal curriculum, THE INFLUENCE OF A TEACHER An interesting story appeared in the newspapers # day or two ago regarding the death in Hamilton on Saturday of James W. Conner, a well-known On+ tari educationist, at the age of ninety years, Mr, Connor had a notable career as a teacher, and was for thirty years principal of the high schoo! at Bers lin, now Kitchener, But the most interesting point mentioned was the fact that among his pupils he had numbered such eminent Canadians as Premier King, Hon, W, D, Euler, the late Professor Toews, and the late Rev, Byron Stauffer, One can readily understand the pride which this old veteran of the teaching profession must have felt in the success of his former pupils, He must have folt, and he had every right to feel, that he had made some contribution to these outstanding lives which have meant so much to Canada, For there oan be no doubt of the influence which is shed over youthful minds and characters hy the guidance and training of the teachers of youthful days, To see pupils and students rise to positions of emis nence far beyond anything which they themselves have been able to achieve is one of the rewards come to those who spend their lives in the tea profession, In the training of young people, they give something of themselves, transmit thelr own ideals and characteristics to the pupily and thus contribute to the makeup of the men or women whieh are pped in later years: It in this influence, whieh is a potent factor for good which makes teaching ewmnt for samething and which, in the evens tide of life, enables many teachers to point with pride to men and women high in public life and say "These were my pupils."
