A. James & Bons, owners and publishers. The Canadian Stateaman 18 a member of the Canadian Weekly Newpapers Association, also the Clasa '*A" Weeklies of Canada. SUBSCRIPTION RATES Anywhere in Canada, $2.00 a year; In the United Statss, $2.50 a year, payable in advance. Single copies, 5 cents. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1934 New Moderator la Noted Preacher Bowmanville was favored with a visit at the BaY of Quinte Conference here last year from Rev. Dr. Richard Roberts of Toronto, who ha.s been chosen as the new Moderator of the United Churcli of Can- ada, and there are many who heard him here at that time. He is looked upon as one of the out- standing men in thie United Church. For a number of years he has been pastor of Sherbourne Street Church in Toronto, which houses one of the largest and most influential congregations in that city. Dr. Roberts is a Welshman, thie son of a Welsh clergyman, and received his theological education in the University of Wales and at Liverpool, England, later going to London, and in 1917 was invited to New York, where aie became pastor of thie Churcai of the Pilgrirn. He went to Montreal f ive years later and in 1927 came to Toronto. Thie new Moderator was one of those active in the promotion of churcai union in Canada. Although a busy man, thie leader and spiritual adviser o! a large congregation. Dr. Roberts has found time to write many books, the most of them dealing with religious subjects. He visited the Far East in 1932 to study thie needs of the Church in China and Japan. He is a man of tested ability and under ais guidance thie United Churcai of Canada wil no doubt make pro- gress. 0f fer Shares of Bank of Canada Shares o! thie Bank o! Canada to the amount o! $5,000,000. are offered for public subscription by Hon. Edgar N. Rhodes, Minister of Finance. The shares are of $5000 each and are off ered at par. Not more than 50 shares may be held by any one person and only perscns who are British subjects ordinarily resident in Canada or Canadian corporations controil- ed in Canada, may own stock. These provisions will ensure a wide-spread interest in aIl parts o! Canada in the sale of the stock of an institution to which Parliament has entrusted wide powers and respon- sibilities affecting the financial and economic welfare of Canada. The Bank is authorized to psy cumulative divi- dends from its profits, after provision for expenses, depreciation. etc., at thie rate of 4!/2 per cent per annum, payable haîf - yearly, which is considered to be an attractive return in comparison with ruling interest rates on high grade securit:es. Surplus profits are to be applied to the rest fund o! the Bank or paid into thie Consolidated Revenue Fund as provided by the Bank of Canada Act. New Minister Partial to Music Those who have for years been advocating that greater attention be paid to the teaching of music in the schools cf Ontario will rejoice at thie fact that they have a strong ally in the Hon. Dr. Simpson, Ontario Minister of Education. Speaking at the Can- adian National Exhibition on Music Day, Dr. Simp- son said:- "In accordance with the general plan of broadening the system 0of education, and recognizing the value of music-f or every child has the right to have music taught to him-it is our intention to prcmote the teaching of music in the schools in every possible way. To deprive a child off a knowledge o! music, is to deprive hum of one of the most worth- while things of life' I con-sider that music - in spite o! the opinion of some people that it is a 'frill"- is absolutely essential in our curriculum and that the public school is the logical place where this should aie started." Coming from the head o! the educational depart- ment of the province. this statement indicates that music-one of the essentials to mind-training-is to come into its own in the schools at last. Durham County has been particularly fortunate in having as Inspector. Col. E. E. Snider of Port Hope, who was among the first in Ontario to intro- duce music to rural schools. The wonderful work that has been accomplished is seen by taie keen competit- ion and brilliant performances of the youth of thie County at the Annual Durham Music Festival. It is to be hoped that those few schools in Darlington Township which have thrown up the opportunity of having a musical education, wiIl see taie f olly of their decisions and again have music taugait in every school in taie Tow.ýnship. One who loves the finer things of if e, seldom are le! t without anything to do in their leisure time, when they have had a musical train- ing. modern education. To provide training in the arch- i itecture o! living Is flot commonly deemed a !unc- t tion of the schools. Yet a knowledge of design in t life and appreciation of the values of taie materials a that enter Into the construction of lîfe is of funda- d mental importance."p It was important, the DePutY Minister polnted out, w that in the mind should be developed an under- standing of these f acts, of thie nature o!fumn f1 itself and an appreciation of thie latent powers of the individual. It is important that the sehools should provide an apportunity to learn these things There is perhaps no other channel, flot; excepting thie church, where so notable a contribution to the wel- f are of the community at large can aie made. Put Ban on Divorce Court News Attorney General Arthur Roebuck is considering placement of a ban on thie publication of actions for divorce. He is not in this way endeavouring to, muzzle the press, but rather to urge upon themn to refrain from continuaily featuring the seamy side of if e. te the obvious detriment of young people. There will be no need for tais action o! the Attorney Gen- eral if the metropolitan newspapers would use a little discretion in the matter. A divorce proceeding may be reported without citing individual circumstances of immorality. The British law makes it unlawful to publisai judicial proceedings involving indecent material calculated ta injure public morals. Taie un- fortunate part of taie whole niatter is that names o! innocent people are dragged tairouga taie mire for no0 rea.son at ail. An instance o! tais is seen in a current cas in Taranto, where taie Prince of Wales ismentioned because aie happened te aedne with one o! taie co-respondents some years ago. Why taie heir to taie British throne's name sliould ever have been lntroduced at ail is beyond us. It is just that same desire for sensational publicity which we denounced editariaily only a week ago. Choose the Lesser of Two Evils From some unknown source taie Almonte Gazette istates that Premier Hepburn, may abolisa taie Count- ies Councils. If there i.s any trutai in taie statement taie IPremier lias our support. We have previously des- cribed taie Counties Council as "Taie antiquated fi! tai wheel o! the Municipal Apple Cart." r1e have notI caianged our mind in this regard under present con- ditions but we do beileve, tlat taie Counties Councils could become more use! ul and efficient taian thieir present rubber stamp operations by taie abolition o! taie Provincial Legislature. With about ten million people te govern and a dozen governments te do taie work, tliings do seem a little overdone, witai caunty, and municipal gov- ernments additional to taiese. When taie time comes, and we believe it inevitably will, taie Counties Coun- cils can do ail taie work thiat is now being done by taie Provincial Governments, but under taie direct supervision o! taie Federal Government. Tliere is no reason why taie Counties cannot control taieir own road work out-side o! taie hlghway systems. There is no reason why they cannot care for their own educational institutions under direct orders f rom a Federal Department o! Education. Canada will always be a country o! numerous forms o! governiments which overlap in their functions and add to taie tax rate. Af ter ail there is no reason why one prov ince shauld tax for one thing and another flot. If tiiere is ever to be equality in taxation, there must be central contraI, and taiere can neyer be tais under aur present system,. However with- a Provincial government thiere us no need for a County Council but this latter body could be made to carry out a very important work at very little cost if taie expensive provincial governments were !inally abolisaied. Bargain Hunters Pay Dearly A celebrated speaker f rom taie Maritime Provinces, in an address recentlY, condemnned taie modemn age as being "bargain hunters." We can remember an- other speaker who frequently brought into his re- marks the fact tliat every bargain is purchased. at taie expense o! someone. Just how mucai misery and trouble today can be traced directly te taie mad seramble te get something for little or nathing cannot be estimated. There is one thing. aiowever, that should be remembered and that ia taiat taie big stores who forced down work- men's wages should flot bear ail taie blame. Taie cus- tomer who was always on taie lookout for cheaper goods also contributed ais aliare to taie trouble, for aie created taie incentive ta taie stores ta drive doçwn prices. Hawever, it is not always taie storekeeper, manu- facturer or manu!acturer's employees who pay for taie privilege o! giving a bargain to taie ultimate con- sumer. Sometimes and freqeuntly it is taie consumer himself who pays dearly for ais bargain. In a factory recently we were shown an article wliicai was being made, and taie foreman saiowed us how it could be well and strongly made or else slapped together for a cheap price and taie difference could only be f ound by taking taie article te pieces, and even taien taie ordinary purchiaser migait not know why taiere was a difference. In tais case taie bargain hunter would psy for ais bargain. Taie most expensive bargain we have heard a! recetly is taie case o! illian Rsnfe-ta!
