THEF CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMANVILLE. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1926 PAGE TW V What About You? Have yeu noticed lately or pos- eibly for sanie tme that when you pick up a book or paper to read that yau blink, rub your eyes and then wonder just why it is that the type does not seeni as clear as it did?

And then wheu you hold it a littie farther away it seems ta be clearer. 0f course it is and this just imdicates a natural change in your eyes-a hardening af the lens and a graduai bass of focal power and then when you farce theni and overwork theni don't tbhey feel very tired in the niarning?

Tfhe f oreiga born ia Canada are net tbe oaly grcup that neecis instruction andi help ia learniag the prnciples and ideals that govera the conduct of the gooci citizen. Very propenly it la clawmedE by teachers that the fereiga bora cannot be thoroly Canadiaaized un-c tiI our native bora practise in theiri daily life andi conduct those pria-t ciples which are comrnonly under-c stood te be the distinguishing marksi of citizenship la this country. t We need oaly te read the policec court reports in the Toronto news-( papers as well as the reports of2 other criminal courts te, be fullyt coavinced that crime is rampant ins Toronto the Good as la ail otherf parts of this Dominion. The illiter- acy probiern among native bora Canadians le very seieus, andt we I regret te state te be candici that ig- 1 norance based on illiteracy, due la tura te inadequate scholing, racial and religieus prejudices andi intoler- ance ,poverty, dependency and al types of social inadequacies are cer-s tainly net lirited te immigrants.t The correction of these conditionsi le vory definitely a part of our na-i tional problem.i This Dominion is net alone witb this problem for wve rend that in the 1924 national electien in the Unitedi States, that owiag te indiff- ereace, illiteracy and other reasons, 30,000,000 citizeas faiied te vote, a large percentage of them being native bora. Truly, such aeglect of the highest privilege of citizen- ship by 50 per cent of tbe eligible voters le a meet seieus phase of that republic's probleme. Ia the biennial survey by the Bureau of Education, Washington, D. C., Sup- erviser Herlhy says: The flood of trashy novels, magazines, motion pictures andi plays that is poured eut annually te satisfy the low stand- ards of the public today deserves rnuch more attention from parente, educators and clergymen than le apparently given. Raising the gen- oral level cf appreciation is obvio)us- ly a part of our national probleni cf bettering eitizenship. A Jewish mother la an English class la Chicago well said: "Some ef' the things taught me la the Olci Woxald wbicb I waat my chilciren te preserve are respect for parente, the teacher, and olci age. The tradition for tborougbness and bonesty of purpose le aise one thati the people of the New World weuld do well te follow. The race 'for succe.ss may result la suberdinating religion, bigb moral standards, andi the fine arts. andi in considermngi material gain as the heigbt of achievemeat". Are net the standards of conduct and the appreciation of the nobler thiags of life as expresseti by this immigrent mother valuable contribu- tioný te America? We tbink so. Superviser Herlihy'e furtber comn-1 ,ment may weIl ho considereci byi Canadians la connection witb tbei problem of "the trangers within our gates" of whom there are many1 ail ever tbe Dominion la city, town and country. He says: The aim of any seund Amcrican- i7ation program is te promote an in- telligent, loyal, united citizenry. 1. The millions of immigrants wbo have corne te Arnerica in the past, and those wbo will continue te coe voluntarily la the future, have ser- vices to ronder and gifte te offer, if xve but understand their motives andi treat tbem fainly. The evolviag of American life and the rnising cf our standards of citizeasbip deinc)nd on the joint contributions of native grid foreiga bora working te gether in a spirit of friendiy uaderst.anding and cheerful cooperation. Amien- canization applies directîy to the immigrant, but the native American must sec to it that bis life exempli- fies the Americanism wbich woxish the' immigrant te emulate.U Those are very wise words. This report giveq wus orne surpris- îng information. Here le one itein: California has 231,671 aclult :ilions and 691,768 foreign borni illiterutes. I Maryland has, 30,634 andi 13,575 re-JI spectivcly. Massachu-etts 4,351 andi 135,720. Texas 166,061 ancd ii1'2,417. New York 1,011,120 ad 3S9,6i03. Pcrnýlvania 541,510 ndl the' Uanited Sae b 90Federal censu-s is: Native wite illiterates, 1,242,572; native negro illiterates, 1,842,161. It le sigaficant te note, tee, that the native iliiterate group represents 64 per cent of the total national illiteracy prebleni. The 3,000,000 citizens of the United BILLION MARK PASSED BY SUN LIFE It is seidoni that a financial in- stitution is able te mark the cern- pletion of its year with two such happy announcements as those made at the annual meeting of the Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada. At the meeting in question, Presi- dent Macaulay was able to announce that the assurance in force of the Sun Life Company is now consider- ably in excess of one billion dollars -a level neyer before reached by a Canadian company. The fifty-fifth annual report which appears ia another colurnn, reflects the Conipany's operations, and the comprehensive wvay in which it is expanding, flot only in Canada buti throughout the world. It bas be- corne net only one of the outstand- ing financial institutions of the Do- minion, but shares with one or two of the banks and transportation companies the honour of being one of Caaada's best knowa institutions abroad. Its ramifications now ex- tend ta forty-four countries and states, and its branches girdle the globe.1 The total net income for the yeari was nearly $70,000,000. Policyholders will chare in anoth-1 er increase in profits-the sixthý consecutive increaee of this kind. The inean învested assets of theý Company have earned during the year 6.41 per cent-a reqarkahle showing in view of the downward tendeaces in interest. One of the important factors in producing this gratifying resoît was an increase in the dividends paid by some of the corporations in which the Cornpanyi bas substantial stock holdings. The wise selection of investments, which bas marked tbe policy of the Company is also shown in the re- markabie increa-ze in the market value of its securities. The Company bas not only highiy efficient management, wîtb Mr T. B. Macaulay as president, but bas a very streng board of directors in- cluding somne of the leadiag fjoan-1 cial and industrial figures in tbe Do- minion. The board whicb bas hitiier- to consisted of twelve is being in- creased to fifteen. Altogether tbe report of the Sua Life, establîsbing new and remnark- able levels in business, makes very heartening reading for tbe people of Canada. States wbo are unable to read and write corstitute a challenge to American education. States contain- ing greatest number of illiterates are: Nortb Carolina 104,844 native whites, and 133,674 native negroes;l Kentucky 112.206 and 40,548; Ten- nessee 101,809 and 79,532; Alabama 65,394 and 210,690 and Virginiaý 70,475 and 122,322 respectively. The last Federal censuz shows that every1 state in the Union bas more than 10,000 foreign bora aduits and nat- ive illiterates! THE PENNY BANK Dear Editor,-Tbe last recards for Penny Bank deposits la Noveni- ber and December are: Cornwall average ........ 91 cents Paris average............ 70 cents Crowlaad average......... 53 cents Bowmanvilie average..47 cents Guelph average........... 47 cents Wellaad average.......... 47 cents I make this suggestion. Every man in Bowrnville wbo bas net an accouat la a regular bank should start depositng in the School Penny Bank ia the name of hie cbîld. Viena wben the arnouat becomes large eaough te seemn wortb while te de- pesit it ia a regular bank, and be- gin a systematic course la snving for a rainy day. Ma'ny people do net deposit in a regular bank. Be- cause their expeases durîng the week nearly equal the amount of their wages, they think the balance is net worth while, and often spead it unwisely instead of depositing it. Even 25 cents a week wiIl give a bank account of $13.00 a year. (4et the habit of tbrlft. Two brothers, 9 and il years old, began te seil papers in Toronto. They deposited their earnings in the Scheol Bank. Wben the elder one wvas sixteen they bnci over one hua- dred dollars saved. With this arnouat they bought a lot in one of the outer parts of the city. Whea tbey had a deed of tbeir lot one of tbe Build- ing Societies erected a double bouse on it for them andi took a morîgage for tbe full ameunt. The beys, rented their bouses. The district built up rapidiy. The boys got sit- uations, and eacb one began a bank account with bis weekly saviags ia a regular bank. The reat of the bouses more than paid the quarter- ly instalments on their bouses, la! aine years eacb boy owned a house and lot, and from their wage a bought another lot on which two new bouses bnci been built for which the rente had paid more than haif, the mertgage. With the rente of four bouses comiag la tbey soon had clear deecis for four bouses, and were progressing rapidly because of the habit of tbrift, learned by de- positing in the Penny Bank.
