place for the camp is there without doubt a location quite as convenient and with more surrounding attractions than is offered in most muni cipalities but nothing has yet been done cither to provide any facilities for visiting tourists or to direct them to tho site numbers o canadian towns no larger than acton have found a wellequipped local motor camp to bo spjendid investment not only ffom the income brought to local business men- grocers and garage men but olio from the adver tising value it promoted some one ma say of course thattoronto turned downa plan toareate a similar camp the other day that may be partly true tho scheme as suggested by one alderman was for a camp on the sunnysidc embankment whore for several reasons it would have been objectionable with the site already provided and comparatively speaking away from the used streets the situation here is entirely different thorc is a good deal of idle talk too about socalled tincan tourists and while this is also partly applicable it is truo again that nowadays a great many responsible and well-to- do people are touring in motors and using local motor camps tho council would do well to mako some small expenditure jn adding to tho equipment of the park site and failing any official action the local goragemen us suggested a few weeks ago in these same columns might take the matter up from a merely selfish business standpoint if from no other a present mom noruey thursday morning july 24 1024 editorial truth in history a writer in liberty the new american weekly his been making some little study of the histories in use in the public and high schools in that country and comes out with some startling statements of x what ho found for instance george washington did not enter the revolution because he was a patriot jffcbut because ho was disgruntled over the refusal of tho british to give him an army commission it wunt slavery which caused the civil war- but the tariff which favored northern grafters america didnt win at bunker hill where british pluck finally triumphed over handicaps the boston tea party r was the work of a bunch of drunken rowdies and as a last example our fancied security in the world war was due only to the protecting shield of englands fleet these things aro remarkable enough put in this way in a popular journal with a million or more circulation all over the united states but think of what it must mean to have them studied tyid taken as fact by hundreds of thousands of school children the writer not only quotes the books and utfaorsbut in some cases gives page and paragraph that there is absolutely no possibility of his state ments being overdrawn taken by and large it is decidedly refreshing to think that at last united school children are being fed some historical vfactswhich will bear tho stress of investigation liour canadian histories also have been vastly im proved during the last generation and no longer mt quite the some exaggeration and absolute ilsrepresentation especially in regard to military iaflers which used to characterize them it is very rubious patriotism which has to be instilled and ilstered up by lies to put the most charitable explanation on the matter is to presumo that the earlier historianswere neither so well informed nor felt the call to be so careful as later writers to whom jtbe actual movements of the people are of greater interest than mere battles and national victories by fttbe sword t summer travelling wc saw a mother and father travelling the other day with two children who both father and mother and children were having anythingbut a happy time the children wcro tired they had nothing to do tho novelty of the journey and passing scenery had worn off and fretfulness was apparent they were commanded to sit still and behave a mandate which was about as wise as if it had been offered to a spirited monkeyi a few days later a little mother was seen travelling along with five and all of the five appeared tobtf under twelve in this case there was a favorite toy or two a picture book some crayons and blank paper and in consequence the demeanor of the children was very different this leads naturally to a suggestion when you take the children travelling take something to help them pass the time for a while they can be interested in the horses and cows in the passing fields and in counting the red barns or tho telegraph poles but it must be remembered that their interests are shifting many a child has put in a day of purgatory in a motor car sitting while the grownups were luxuriating in views of field and forest and town uncomfortably with legs too short to reach tho floor of the car and inexpressibly bored a scribbler and a box of cheap colored crayons are a blessing in such cases since most children love to express themselves in drawing and they can make a fairly respectable attempt at it even in a moving motor car editorial notes am a imukuio i alitor dingy and
