GAMBLING A good deal of comment is made from time to time on tlie prevalence of the gambling apirit in the Province of Ontario, and the encouragement given to it by authorities, who legal- ize race meets, in all parts of the Province, conditional on their shar- ing the r^ce'pts. For example, To- ronto has three race tracks, where gambling goes on for weeks at a time every summer, and hundreds of thousands of dollars are bet, by all kinds of conditions of men and wo- men. It is no longer contended that these meets are held solely for the purpose of promoting the breeding of good horses, and on the tracks the bookmakers and their gambling patrons have it pretty much their own way. It is evident, from the exper- ience of older countries, that it is necessary to curb the gambling spirit, especially among the young, if wrong-doinjt is not to be promoted through the apency of the race track. This was demonstrated at a confer- ence of head teachers of English ^ of Gilbert Plains are the guests of building of the Spencer bridge, and schools held in Liverpool last week, y^^f sister, Mrs. Wm.
