best citizens since knowledge is largely ex perience rather than mere information it follows that a good part of the knowledge that makes good citizens must come from actual work for civic order cleanliness and beauty what we learn from working on our own responsibility we never forget th natural place for the child to get that kind of educa tion in is of course the home the old household chores that modern improvements lz made no longer necessary are inadequately replaced by work in the school athletic field at the school carpenters bench and in the school course in domestic science those things are all good but they fail to inspire in the child the sense of reality and the sense of pro prietorship that are necessary for the best educational results to supply that need some

able to estimate fairly accurately their revenue from the legislature for the- year 192526 the senate has again taken the opportunity of showing the people of canada how much at variance they are with the public opinion they slayed the bill of the house of commons intended to curb the evil of race track gambling and they mutilated the home bank bill reducing the relief intended for un fortunate
