an attempt to actentuate the use end power of the printed word gutenburgs bible is one of the most distinctive and certainly one of the earliest pieces of printed materlal ever created with- great skill and effort the inventor worked with the single pieces of wood or metal to create in print the most important book ofill time the importance of the printed wbrdcan never be fully understood it is

iu v since the hope commission report on educa tion has been handed down little has been heard of it except the criticism that came so soon after the details wore given tbt it is doubtful if they were well considered criticisms the public will await with interest this session of the on- trio legislature and note what recognition is tekenof the report a- report that requited over five years to make and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars- is surely too valuable a document to bo filed and forgotten it is quite evident that the gov ernment of six years ago deemed it advisable to make such a comprehensive review of ontarios educational system or the commission would never have been authorized sihco its appointment the department of education has sidetracked every issue it was not able to solve until the report was presented ontario still needs some modernization of its educational plans as every member- of any school board iritheprovince will vouch well we have tho report and if the present ministerof education is too busy to give it atten tion it would at least be advisable to appoint a man who can give if the attention required too lopsided our export trade is getting far too lopsided warns the financial post which points out that except to the united states and latin america everywhere else pur shipments are falling down seriously comments the post we are glad to be selling so much of our surplus producttonto the united states but if anything happens to uncle sams booming pros perity even temporarily then our foreign trade is certainly going to suffer and when it suffers that means everybody in canada feels the jinch we are getting all of our export eggs into cne basket while we dont want to takeany of these eggs out of that particular basket what we really need for our future prosperity is still more eggs and many- more baskets we cant sit back and rest easy about this foreign trade business until we have recaptured a good deal of our lost markets in
