THURSDAY, JULY l9th. 1934 The Light of Publicity Too Much Being steady readers of ail Toronto newspapers we could flot help but notice that the Globe and the Mail and Empire have for the past few weeks been devoid of the advertising of a prominent Toronto depart- mnebtal store. While neither newspaper has made edlitorial comment on the fact. newspapermen tliroughout Ontario will have their suspicions as to the reason. Not very long ago ihe Stevens Committee at Ott- awa, investigating this company brought out some starting facts about price spreads and other un- favorable features of the Company's way of conduct- ing business. Both Mail and Empire and Globe reporied f ully the evidence given before the Commission. and boili have been dropped f rom the advertising of this com- paýny. It may be only coincident. but until people are informed. otherwtse the public cannot be blamed for looking ai the matter in this light. 0f course the company cannot do without advertising-that would be disastrous. So the advertising is now confmned to the eve:ning papers. Not knowing the real reason why these iwo news- papers have lost this advert.ising we are api to notice the coincident referred to. If the truth be in ihis' fact, then we can assure the Mail and Empire and The Globe, that they ca~n lose nothing by playing the game with the public. If ihey are martyrs, because they have published the iruth, neither paper has any reason to be ashamed if it has losi advertising pat-- ronage, but standing by the code of eihics of the fourth estate. It is also further proof that adver- tising eolumns do not dictate or govern the news or editorial policy o! a newspaper. Nature Takes a Hand Not so long ago, when crops were large and demand fimail, some o! aour "«wise men" conceived the brilliant idea-it seemned brillant ta tbem at the trne, o! geit- ing ail the food-producing couniries lined up in an agreemenita restrici acreage and limit production. The agreement neyer did go througb to include aIl. thougli some odd spectacles were witnesed-Brazil- ians ihrowlng surplus coffee inta the sea, cation growers in the United States ploughing their crops inta, the ground, baby pigs being killed and chopped up to be used for fertilizer. (That last the sihUiest o! aIl. For why pile fertilizer on and, ta make it grow more. when the cry was ta reduce production?> We have not been hearing so much about crop re- strictions o! hale; and for a very good reason. Nature bas been taking a hand in the game. The shortage in last year's grain cropa is common knowledge: and for this year the Dominion Bureau o! Statistics reports thai crops will be short in prac- tically every wheat-growlng country. The combinatian o! heavy winter-killng, early drougbt and grass- hoppers bas cut wheat production away belaw normal. There are many slgns to indicate that before many months bave gone we shahl be paying top price for wheat, flour and bread. Thie good old law o! supply and demand will be warking as ht always does. In days o! aId there was a wheat controîher in Egypi, one Joseph by name. In the years o! plenty he siored the wheat, and in the years af famine which followed he was able to feed ihose wbo had not bis vision =~d wha, perbaps.-tbough it is not recorded- had formed crop-reduction pools. Who knows but ere long we may be wishing we bad such another. It is, perbaps, fortunate thai the restriction agreements have not gone further than the rudimentary stage. Schools for Children Perbaps, after al, education is mot laring so badly. Out of the refining fires o! recent years,-says the New York Herald 'Tribune, tbere may be emerglng a sounder gauge o! values, a richer purposefulness, a more determined effort ta, pravide cilidren wîtb in- fluences and envircnment better suited ta modern needs. The idea o! "new"~ or "progressive" education has won a place in the scboals o! boa many cilles and lands ta be considered eitber new or progressive in the orginal use o! these termas. Yet the facitbat a great scha-ol systemn sucb as that af New York City now joins in seeklng ta 'debermine wbat may be doue tû adapi aur elementary schools to the varying need.s and abilities o! the children' is likely ta sirengîhen the enlire educational f iber. Accordmng ta Dr. Harold G. Campbell, superiuteu- dent o! scbools, it means ih.at approximately 1,100,- 000 more children are going ta be allowed, evelu en- courage ta develop their individual abilities withiu their graups. As much as possible, their school work will be planned to develop and supplemeni their na- tive iuterests and special needs. Each cbild will be siudied by the teýchers and guided int a richer and broader expressionu a! bis individu aity-no t larced ta conlorm lao some pattern o! an earlier and dif- ferent time. In other words, the New York Ciy schools will endeavor ta each children rather than subjecis. A comrmlllee o! educatars appointed by Dr. Campbell will recommend changes lu the cirriculum ta Lrieig about t:,is change, which already has been made in some schoal eystprms. This ducs not mean, as many crIies o! the uew education beieve, Ibat children merely bave their awnj way. Thai is ual "progressive education'" correctly lnterpreted. Tt does mean that thase in charge o! the schools believe that the chihd jruuately aud instinct- lvely wants lu h'arn. aid that each child bas gifts and abililies that. if discovcred aud developed, will enrichbobth the child and the world. Itl means, ta,,, thai the 1choal, and iin final analY.SiS the ieacher, muLiSt evaluate that which is socially and lndividually a orth passi»ng alaug ta ithe next gen- .eration, and mnust .ýeek souud ways o! enlisling in be'lalf o! this racial heritage the chihd's native tl- ent% and natural de.,:re ta grow. hi means that th(, child bi-sel! fiýndsî educatian irrestistible, because 1;e sees is value. Il means ibat he submlts ta certain dls, thal he may not ike be- cause he understaflds tbe need o! tbem. Ti sends hlm along bis path o! life,, not po&sessed o! a mere pack- age o! acquired facis--or perhaps a discouraglng col- lection of arbitrary nonpassinv, grades-but enriched by a usable sense of values, an abilily ta tb.luk for nîmseuf, a connidence tflat ne bas someting to give the world, and a genius love of leamneg. It is faith in tbis sort of thing thal lias captured the superin- tendent of the New York City schools and macle hlm hune up a vasi and ppwerful organization with the ideals of thinkers like Joh:,i Dewey and schcols that give exprcssion 10 these ideals. Making Better Times The Bowmra.nxile plant of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company has taken a commendable slep te- wards creating better uinies for ils workers, and, in- cidenthy, for the town o! Bowmanville. It is announe- ed thal wages ni the plant have been increased by 1212 per cent. that hours of labor have been cut down, and the iiumber'of men employed increased accordingly. These are three steps whuch would be welcomnec by the employees of many industries today, sine thcy are the steps required to decrease unemphoy- ment and enable more men to earn a living wage. It is understocd that tbis action applies flot only tc the Bowmanville plant, but to practicalhy the whole of the companys employees. The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company has set a splendid example to other industries, and it wouhd be encouraging to find that example adopted in a much more general way.- Oshawa Daily Times. Harmony Not Discord Wanted Great power has been attributed 10 the press of the day. It is a fact ihat the press does formulate optnion.s and conducts campaigns that sweep men off their feet. A strong, sane press is a great boon ta any communiiy. A questionable press, ready to lend isel! to zossip, hearsay, questionable reading, and contin- usualhy stirring up strif e, is most dangerous and detri- mental. In Ontario there hms been a change of gov- ernme.nt. The people have expressed a view. Since the election there lias been a continual exaggeration of %aords and talk. In some o! the daily papers, especiahly tiue Toronto evening p-aper.3, there ha.s beeh a ten- dency t suir Up feelings. There have been staiements made and attributed to leaders and memnbers that have been used for beading Ues, but are only en- larged imaginations o! the writers. 'This sort of tbing is flot h t he best interest of the community. What is needed today is harmiony. If the people of Ontario wili gel do%*n to work and support these measures that are for the best interest of the people, there will be some progress made. Ontario must go ahead. If the newly elected government does flot measure up, thrn the people will have to express its voice, but give them a chance and do not kill tbemn by a lot of emaîl paper headlines. Create harmony. and not discord, by moulding public opinion through a true portrayal o! those whiy are doing alI tbey can bo give a definite leadership. Into The Sunlight It is true, as Charles F. Kettering .never hoses an opportunity to remind us, "the world is flot yet f in- ished." Even the commonest o! physical phenomena such as the sun's rays are but imperfectly under- stood. TMe recent discovery o! element No. 93 brings possibilities o! furiher discoveries that would have i.iflated the imagination o! a medieval aichemisi 10 the bursting point. But lagging, as research men admit their knowledge o! the physical universe to be far in their train plod the social scientisîs. We mor- taIs. with scars o! our hast great war hardly healed and memories o! a five-year depression still vivid. must admit thai we know pitifully little about organ- izing our lives s0 thai aIl may e'ijoy a well-fed, shel- tered, happy existence. Il is here that such groups a! men as Rotary have a rich opportunity. Il social conditions are in a state o! flux. so much the greater is the challenge to men of goodwill and understanding to take a hand i:n adapting or rebullding that wllich has collapsed under pressure. Every change opens its new vistas for the serving o! human needs, The future is not dark: it is a perpetual dawn. - Rotarian Magazine. Mail Order Book No Longer Golden The searching lnvestigating cominmittee headed by the Hon. Harry Stevetus continues making investigat- ions into large companies tbat have accumulated fortunes ai the apparent expeuse o! employees. On- tario papers refer to T. Eaion Co. and Robert Simp- son Co. as parasite mail order bouses. People wba have religiously referred ta their mail order catalogues musi now realize ihat these catalogues are no longer goldein or sacred ta, the housebolder, for the investi- gation shows that these companies bave sohd goods thai yielded 100 per cent. spread over manulacturing cosîs. Tbe manufacturers bave been diciated uo by the mail order mnen as ta, whal they would pay for the goods and the goods were manufacuured accord- iugly at the expe.nse o! the employees. Time and trne again Tbe Echo and tbe retail merchants and deaiers o! the district have conducted publicity campaigns educating People on the worth o! local stores ta the disýtrict in place o! buylng from such mail order houses. The investigations going c.n merely bear out the statements then made, ibal the merchaudise of- lered for sale was ual comparable, dollar for dollar, with the merchand:se offered by the Soutb Essex s-ores. The mail order bouses bave undoubtedly done their pari in a magnanimaus ma.nner towards brînging about depression and trials and tribulations for many people in Cauadla.-Amherstburg Echo. Editorial Notes Twenty years ugo on Augusl 4th. the Briti.sh Em- pire entered the World War and Bowmanville and district sent ils full quota o! men 1,0 aid in tbe pre- servation o! British ideuls o! democracy. We are api to forget tua soon the pari these men phayed in the maintenance o! ail ibai is dear ta a f reedom loviug people. A kiudly way ta remember their services is ta patronize the Legion Street Dance in Bowmian- ville on July l9th, and thus aid them in caring for their owu need.y und baille scarred members. The secrelury c! the Cilizens' Service Association of Canada, which assists discbarged prsouers ta- wards a better kiud o! 111e, writes: "Since 1929, the date o! the inceplian o! ibis association, until the end a! 1932. ihere was a decrease in crime convic- tions in Ontario of 40 per ceut. Iu 1933 there was a aigger decrea.se briuging crime convictions dawn ta the level o! 1914, the lowest level in the histary o! the province. We are meeting witb wouderlul suc- cess lu aur work.
