at elora two weeks ago a discussion on the ontario temperance act and the proposed plebiscite or referendum and the attitude of tho local press towards it disclosed the fact that there was a very otrong feeling among tho newspaper men that the act should bo retained and strengthened rather than that there should be any loosening of its provisions the newspaper men present freely expressed their intention of standing for tho act as the best measure available for controlling tho liquor traffic last week while in toronto the editor was in con versa tibn with a newspaper official who travels from end to end of tho province in the administration of the duties of his office and be stated very emphatically that the spirit found in the ei on meeting respecting tho on tario temperance act characterizes every pres3 meeting ho attends rn all parts of the province country weeklies vs city dailies i an observant and philosophical writer contrasts the respective characters of the city and country papers in this significant manner turning from the city newspapers to the rural weekly which comes to our home is like stepping from the slums of vile odors into an oldfashioned garden sweet with honey suckle and the scent of perennial flowers tho pages of tho big dailies are so full of murder thievery immorality the breaking up of homes by infidelity and selfishness thatthe better news is obscured one puts tho paper aside with a feeling of depression and heartache that the world is so full of such terrible nd unhappy things then picking up the papers that record the happenings of the smaller towns around us one gains renewed faith in life here are set forth only that which uplifts a community the activities of tho business men the church news the civic good accomplished by women the school j terns the happy social gatherings of the people the marriages births and deaths farmers items and all the thousand and ono daily occurrences that make up tho simple annals of the great common people who are the foundation of this broad country of ours scandals are seldom published in tho country newspapers but if it so happens that decency de mands it tho uglier details are omitted or are giveu a kindly touch that- is widely different from tho unfeeling publicity of the city press no wonder the offenders may be our neighbors or people we have rubbed elbows with all our lives they are real iiimaxlbeinga while to the greatdailies they are merely grains of a sort that are ground out hotly in their hewsmill educating kmgrantb to be good canadian phenomenal increase in the volume of im migration now reaching our shores presents a subject of immense importance to the thinking people of canada immigration is generally recognized as ono of our social problems but not everyone realizes that by immigration canada is building up a new national life in a normal family each child may be regarded as a problem but when the family is in- creased also by adoption an entirely new group of problems is introduced into the family circle the immigrant is an adopted citizen and brings with him among his effects a trunk full of new national responsibilities social workers are perhaps a little inclined to view immigration by its failures rather than by its triumphs tho individual of british or anglosaxon stock who makes good is promptly and easily absorbed into the fabric of canadian life contributes to tho taxes casts un intelligent vote and requires no specialized treatment tho social workers are hardly aware of- his arrival the im migrant who drifts into their purview is likely to be one who has some physical or intellectual handicap possibly only that of a foreign language which places him at a disadvantage in competition with those who can speak and read enfgliah but more often the failure of tho immigrant to make g is connected with some physical defect through which he becomes a public charge or a unit ti tho statistics of correc tional or remedial institutions unfortunately there ro no statistics of tho immigrants who succeed and become our leading citizens so that the recordof immigration as fourtd in tho reports of social work is apt to be somewhat pessimistic in iu outlook it n therefore peculiarly interesting to find in tho pro cccdings of the co n von t jon of the social service council of canada just published a suggestion for
