MUSIC TEACHING IN THE SCHOOLS . ~~ The teaching of music has now become an accepted part of education in all 'pro- gressive communities. In many places, this has even passed beyond the mere elementary stage which deals with the teaching of simple songs to the children. This is the case in Oshawa, where, under the supervi- sion of Lowig Richer, the 'director of music in the schools, a splendid work is being ac- complished. There are many parents, however, who have yet to be convinced that this is worth while, that it will bring the results which -are desired, This is, perhaps, especially true .in connection with the new class me- thod of piano tuition that is being under- _ taken here. Many people are hard to con- "Vince that this method is effective, For that reason, the demonstration which ig to be given in the Rotary Hall next Mon. , day evening, of the class method of piano @ }estuition, is of more than passing "interest. + Pemonstration is worth far more than ar- gument, and those who are not convinced of the value of this method, have an oppor- tunity of seeing it in actual operation, and judging of the splendid things which have i "peert accomplished in that line. In view of the faet that the -method is now being es- tablished in the schools of Oshawa, it is to |: be hoped that there will be a large atend- ance at.the Rotary Hall on Monday evening at seven o'clock for the demonstration. THE NATIONAL THEATRE The Montreal Star, commenting on a statement by Sir John Martin Harvey that he was encouraged to think that a move- ment for the establishment of a national theatre was well under way in Canada, throws cold water on the scheme. It takes the view that Sir John must have been mis- informed if he understood that a movement was being undertaken to establish a na- tional theatre under government subsidy, j and goes on to say that such a scheme would be highly undesirable. ho Star, of course, is right in this con- tention, but that does not place the estab- lishment of a national theatre movement in fYCanada well within the bounds of accom: piishment. In' fact, the groundwork has already been 'done in many communities, Oshawa being one of the number. ~The Little Theatre, as we have it in Osh- awa on a small scale, is nothing more or less than the Canadian national theatre, formed for the purpose of encouraging Canadian dramatists and players to develop their tal- ents along lines truly Canadian in their char- acteristics. + The easy road to a national theatre in Canada is by the fostering of . Little Theatre groups in every community, and hy giving them whole-hearted support, Ld 'that they will be able to stand on their feet, financially as well as in a dramatic gensé, When a movement of that kind is .~on-a successful basis, then Canada will have a national theatre movement which will give + wfullvexpression to Canadian ideas and ideals, scale Without the reed of any . govemment subsidy. THE LC. USE OF, LAWLESSNESS Aria Chet Draper of the Toronto: Police de- partment placed his finger at the root of the of lawlessness in the United States n he the ewman Club of the Univisity of Toronto recently.

In Atlantic City, a few months ago, similar conditions prevailed because, it was discovered, the elected heads of the various civic departments were working hand in hand with lawbreakers, and were engaged in a disgraceful system of graft. In the lat- ter case, it needed but an awakening of the right-minded people of the community to clean up conditions, but the point is that they could never have existed at all had it not been for the political machinery which controlled the law courts. This is one respect in which, as General Draper has suggested, Canada is far ahead of the United States, for this country has every reason to be proud of the freedom of its courts and its law enforcement systems from the machinations of politics. THE PUBLIC MUST BE CONSIDERED , FIRST The- conference of the provinces of Can- ada on laws for the regulating of stock marketing methods and stock brokers is over, and it is announced that it has reach- ed certain conclusions which will be imple- mented by legislation. This legislation, it is stated, will be made uniform throughout all the provinces which have agreed upon it, and will, it is believed, have the effect of con- Other Editor's C omments EAT MORE POTATOES (London Daily Sketch) As the result of a consultation with the Ministry 'of "Agriculture English potato growers have decid- ed to launch a publicity campaign to popularise their products, We are to be urged to "Eaf more potatoes," just as we have been inm- plored to consume. vast | quantities of fruit and to stay ourselves with flagons of milk. And why not? [Ihe potato is an admirable article of food and its largely increased consump- tion would be of immense benefit to British agriculture, It is 400 years since Raleigh brought the potato and tobocea to England. But while our consumption of the latter--thanks to the huge advertising campaigns and highly ef- ficient organization of the tobacco industry--has grown to an extent that Sir Walter could not have dim- ly imagined, the potato has been allowed to languish in obscurity, EAT, DRINK AND BE MERRY (Forest Standard) There are too many mortgage sales in the papers these days to give a healthful look to the country. much automobile would explain a lot | of them. Overproduction of tobacco! is another; too much help in the! fields while the boss burns up 'gaso- line is another, and lastly, the gen- eral slump in the prices of farm pro- ducts. Remedy the first three rea- sons and the last one would not have such a serious aspect. In other vords, we are giving no thought as A future financial conditions, or how they will affect the home. A sort of "eat, drink and be merry, for tomor- row we die," attitude seems to be} trolling stock dealings and transactions in a much more satisfactory manner than has been possible heretofore. | In framing the new legislation, there is one idea which should ever be kept in the i here badminton is a regular Sunday {lic confi forefront, and that is that the interests of the speculating and investing public must | be given first consideration. A great many of the people who have suffered most from the illegal dealings of brokers and promoters in the past have been people with no know- ledge of stock market ramifications, people who, in reality, need to be protected against themselves; against their own folly. The | new legislation must be framed in such a | way as to make it impossible for such people to be victimized by a smooth-tongued high pressure salesman whose only interest is in parting the prospective investor and his or | her money. ! Stock exchanges may need regulation, the methods of brokers may have to be placed under more careful supervision, and stock salesmen may have to be regulated more severely. These things may all be neces- sary, but the greatest essential is some kind of a law that will give absolute protection to the public, so that théy can take part in stock investments and speculations with the assurance that they will not be swindled out | of their money. | HUMANIZING THE SUBMARINE i | | | | | | | The delegates to the naval conference who | were in favor of abolition of submarines have almost given up hope of being able to secure that move towards naval reduction. | The opposition of France and Italy to the | p.an is believed to be too strong to be over- | come. All five nations, however, are agreed | htat there should be some effort to restrict | the use of the submarine in time of war, so | that innocent men, women and children may not be subjected to attack, as was the case in the last war. | This talk of humanizing submarine war- | fare is very nice in theory. It sounds ideal- istic, and, if it could be followed out, it would remove much of the objection to the under- sea boat. Unfortunately, wars are not carried on in | an idealistic spirit. Nations are apt, when at war, to break rules whenever it is ex- | pedient for them to do so, and whenever this would again be the ruling factors, and rules | proven in the last war, in which many types | of warfare which were entirely contrary to | international law were adopted. In the case of another war, it is likely that expediency | would again be the ruling factors, and rules and regulations would go by the baord in the efforts of the contending forces to de- | feat their enemies.

(St. Broadcasting English Thomas "Tiwmes-Journal) Radio announcers and speakers carry a heavy responsibility when they speak over thé air, because the public is apt to regard their pronunciation as authentic, partic- ularly in thk case of announcers. Some horrible pronunciations come over the air on this gide of the At- lantic, the worst of which is turné ing "u" into "vo.". This is particu- larly noticeable in the case of the word "studio," which so many an nouncers call "stoodio," England has its fifty-soven dif- ferent varieties, because there is no part of the world where the English language is so foully murdered. There are county mannerisms which identify a man's origin in any part of the globe; there is the terrible "Oxford" affectation, and there is "Cockney," which turns "know" in- to "now," and so on all along the line. The British Broadcasting Com- pany has formed a committee to go into the question of pronunciation, with the view of standardizing English speech. It includes such Too | hard put to| the y| eminent men as Sir Robert Bridges the "Poet Laureate," Dernara shaw and Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson, and they have begun thelr work by issuing a list of sev- enty words, on the pronunciation of which they agree, The commitice hits hard at the Londoner, which is a good start. Incidentally they would pronounce 'address" with the accent on the second syllable--a-dress," not "'add- ress," which {8 a common fault here, too. Radio i# one of the greatest edu- cational factors in the world. It is as important, if not more so, to have correct pronunciation over the radio, as it is at school. People are more apt to pay attention to pronunciation when they grow up than they do when they are chil- dren, They are constantly meet- ing new words, having got past the rudimentary stage, and they are listening to authoritative speakers upon whose style, as well as facts, they have a right to believe they ran rely. Standardization of pronunciation is one of the most valuable things the broadcasting stations can give attention to. to parents, brothers, and sisters and sweethearts, as Christmas pres- ents, I received more than $1,000 {to distribute in this way and had to write 137 letters.
