cleanup campaign it is estimated that g5 of the fires in canada could be prevented by the exercise of proper care in keeping all premises clean canadas lire loss totals 30- 000000 if this can be reduced to 10500000 experts believe possible people will be doing a noble and patriotic thing tn keeping their premises clear of litter of all kinds in addition to the elimination of a large percentage of the fire loss the improved appearances and better sanitary conditions will be most gratifying it is a satisfaction at least to have n minister of education who is alivo lo nil issues which beorupan the education of our youth hon dr cody spoko with much interest at the meeting of tho ontario library association on monday of last week and on wednesday he addressed tho trustees section of the ontario educational association on topics in which these organizations may do much to advance new and improved methods of education ho asked the trustees to realize afresh the power of education in moulding national life and pointed out that it is much easier to mould a child m its plastic stage than it is to remould the adult ha appealed to the trus tees to realize the great importance of proper edu cation for the children the balance of trade has now swung again so that it is becoming adverse to canada before tho war it was ugainst us by 300 million dollars annually owing to war orders it become a favorable balance by nearly half a billion dollars our war debt in the dominion however has mounted up to nearly 1500 000000 henceforth thcro must be a largely in creased volume of trade to pay our interest charges this is what exports will do but wo must sell as much of the produce of canadian fields in canadian cities towns and villages as possible it means we must import less especially in foodstuffs if e canadian cities and towns are to bo the canadian farmers best market then the farmer must loyally cooperate by buying thoso thiogs which are made by canadian industries and from canadian dealers in june 1017 tho goverflmentfrt ottawa passed an order incouncil which prohibits for the period of the war and for six months thereafter betting pool selling and bookmaking upon the race courses in the house of commons tho other day a member asked if it wui the intention of tho government to repeal this order sir thomas white in reply said that inasmuch as horse racing had been extended beyond the limits of what was contemplated by par liament when the act of 1912 was passed and that betting upon race courses had caused grave public offence the government is making enquiries with a view to the enactment of such legislation as may be deemed in the public interests it is sincerely to be hoped tho ban on race track gambling will bo con tinucd and that canada will never again permit the gambler and black legs from tho neighboring re public to throng here and ply their nefarious bejttmg games with shameless impugnity tho question who

report of tho deputy postmaster gen eral for the year ended march 31 1918 shows that on that date there were 12622 post offices in opera tioa tn canada of which 210 havo been opened dur ing the year the number of offices closed was 30g the reason for closing in nearly every case havintj been that the post office was rendered unnecessa owing to the establishment of rural and delivery routes- during the year 88 additional rural mail de livery routes have been established and the number of boxes increased by 8065 the intelligent teaching of agriculture in the schools was emphasized at the

dier or to a child met on tho street where war had devastated the region our saviour taught this duty when ho was here among men paul frequently ex horted the exercise of this virtue among those to whom jic ministered it is surely up to all of us to bury our selfish natures and act upon the principle which havo been so worthily emulated by our soldier heroes tho peace congress is arronging a uniform date for the celebration of the declaration of peace to become effective simultaneously the world over a clause has been drafted for insertion in the peace treaty fixing the dote for the transition to a state oj peace sixty days after the signing of the treaty if the treaty is signed about may is peace thus will become effective throughout the world on july 15 the purpose of this provision is to prevent confusion among the more than twenty belligerent nations which might fix different dates in their various rati fications according to present plan each nation will ratify the treaty according to its own uwi but all will unite in a common date which will become a universal day of peace a new note was struck at tho educational con vcntiou at toronto last week when it was emphasized that no teacher should be employed before attafning the age of twentyono years j munro b a of hamilton pointed out the fact that tho nation s chief builders were not its oxplorers
