two prelates of the catholic church in america were called to the vatican a few days ago and con secrated aa cardinals by the pope when the recep tions to the visiting american churchman were plan ned the new cardinals astonished the people of rome by refusing to allow wine to be served at those affairs both cardinals haynes and mundelein took the position that since prohibition is the law of america they as american citizens could not violate that law even though they were in foreign territory where the law did not apply their action was a ootable example of display of moral courage it was a service to the prohibition cause since it v served to teach the people of italy and of other countries to respect the law of america there has been too much of a disposition abroad not to take prohibition in the united states seriously more than that it waft a fine lesson in obedience to law and an encour agement to law enforcement neither of the car dinals has been active in promoting prohibition but they show that they regard the question of law en forcement and respect for law as bigger than the prohibition question the protection of children from tho thirtieth report of tho

neighborhood news tdwn and country erin rights of democracy i have bad some letters addressed to me on this subject and this is an argument that has been nsed they sa w nocl l th rich man has bis wine cellar and his club he can go to bis wine cellar and club on sunday or he can go there at two in tho morning or at five or on any day or hour of tho day therefore say they we appeal to you as a labor member to prevent this sort of class legislation which is going to keep for the rich man his drink and deprive the poor man of bis it is a specious argument what does it mean it is an appeal to the rights of the- democracy we must differentiate the rights 4ha are of good report from the rights that are of evil report and wo say do not cling for five minutes to a right that is of no value if the right want to keep tho road open to their own loss that is their affair no democracy ought not to say because one class has such and such a right all classes ought to claim the r same right- it is no worth it let us see to it that the rights the democracy claims that tho rights the workingclasses claim are rights worth having and not rahts that come with disease and canker and vice in their train tho right to go wrong to go down togo astray well we will make a present qf these rights to anyone who wants them ramsay macdonald premier of england tbe old- system of learning by heart a fine old phrase which under the new methods in education has fallen largely into disuse is that of learning by heart half a century ago learning by heart was the chief feature of tho ordinary school course pupils learned their english and latin gram mars by heart they committed to memory whole pages of history and geography long lessons in natural philosophy and endless passages from the english classics above 811 they learned word for word chapters and sometimes books from the old and new testaments doutless in those days many a pupil with a facile memory slipped through his course or let it slip through him and gained little in mental fibre and power yet after alt there are few better possessions than something of the worlds jbest treasure of wisdom or beauty learned by heart one of our greatest naturalists was compelled in his boyhood to commit to memory the entire new testa ment and a large part at the old without that carjys training he would not have gained the clear and vigorous and beautiful style by means of which be has been able to open tho eyes of others to the wonders of nature there is no such model of style aa the old book of our fathers lucy larcom enjoy ing to her last days tho verses learnedjn her window- seat library in the mill madam willard finding de light in her eightieth year in tho treasures committed to memory in her girlhood whittier cheering sleep less nights with the rich stores ofnis memory 0ese and hundreds of others bear witness to the value of wisdom learned byjteart but it must be by heart the treasure must be ubetf and loved and cared for not put into storage and forgotten so used and loved tho words of the masters reveal deeper meanings as the years go by they become enriched jo us by a thousand associations daya of gladness or sorrow to which they nave ministered times of trouble or danger in- which they bavq atood us beacon lights they have become part of the very the will to safety- in a thoughtful address delivered before the re cent safety convention intoronto dr h j cody used a phrase thabwill linger in the minds of those who heard him that phrase was the will to safety we luive all heard of the will to power and dr codys desire was to persuade both management and men to think safety and achieve it the reports re ceived so far in 1924 by the workmens compensa tion board indicate that 18710 accidents were reported during the first four months of the year and that the total compensation awarded by the board in that period has been 207105800 this is a very large sum and with the constant desire of everyone in the country to reduce costs appears to offer a legitimate point of attack in the effort to reduce unnecessary expenses the safety movement is largely educational in its methods and if by in tensive work in our industries tho will to safety can bo developed there will be fewer accidents stand up for the colleges there has been considerable talk about the hazing exploits and some other misdemeanors in some of our provincial colleges this year and as a result some parents are rather averse to sending their sons and daughters to college pranks are som times played and other unseemly conduct occasionally breaks out in the exuberance of young peoples activities in college or elsewhere young people are extremely human even after they are registered in a college or university college faculties cannot always be police officers it is not necessary that they should be but no one who has attended any canadian college can believe that his alma mater is an unsafe place fr mttymif rn ttiff variety nf phyiral net intellectual interests abundantly engages youthful energy and does not leave much for dissipation to one student who passes the night in rioting are hun dreds who come in healthily tired from the athletic field or gymnasium read and study an hour or so and go to bed if a young man is not safe in college he is not safe anywhere even a block away from home the tone of college life ia distinctly high compared with most environments in which a young man might find himself the increasing number of poor men working their way through college estab lishes a tone of industry which tlnrfew ruffians and idlers are not numerous enough to dispel unfor tunately when a college man does misbehave his ill deed even if it be not grave enough 0 give notoriety to a young man not in college is printed in the newspapers which contrive to givb the name of the college a conspicuous place careful parents shake their heads and without reason conclude that the business life is more sobering than the life in college this unfair view is damaging to the whole system of higher education the endeavqr of which inour country is to invito youth and strength into educated life tho president of one of our colleges recently in conferring the doctors degree on a pro fessor who was also a great administrative officer attributed the professors power among the under graduates to
