JUNE 131h. 1935 An Editorial for Young People Speaking at the Convocation exercises of McMaster University in Hamilton, Dr. H. J. CodY, President of the University of Toronto, delivered a particuflarly appropriate address ta the graduates who were about to step out into "if e in the raw". Dr. Cody spoke on the material as well as cultural ide cf education. and stressed two important thinga. the spcaking af gocd English and the cultivation of good manners. In an effort ta acquire a super abundance of book knowledge the malter of good manners was quite often overlocked. Dr. Cody pointed out. It is un- fortunate that students do not always. wbile in- crcasing their store of knowledge also increase in re- finement. One sets the university student apart as a future leader in community life. s0 that il is a little disappointing 10 bear themn induleing in slang ta an incongruous degi-e., and also oct at times as though they rather despised the essentials cf good brecding. Manners are one of the most valuable possessions any young person can posseas. The samne of course applies to0 matured people, but for youtb, starting out along the raîber treacherous highway cf lhf e, îey are particularly valuable. They can be acquircd by anyone. outaide the realm of university students. They are the result of ight thinking and right act- ion. lb is impossible to be really ilI disposed toward a well mannered person. while ta the well mannered il is difficult to acquire intimate friendship with self- centred. conceited and intolerant pensons. The fîrst move towards better manners miuat be the ridding cf selfishness. Good manners aie a mat- ter of consideration. sympalhy and concession to others. If we are alwrays prejudiced towards oui-- selves, we cannot possibly be agrecable. If we are unwilling ta make allowances. aor ta put curselvesi out in the slightest degrec. we quickly place oui-sel- ves in the category of selfisb bores. 'Manners make the man' is the strnking phrase over the entrance of a noted Oxford University Col- lege. suggesting that in tbis phrase was summed up the whole purpose cf education. This is very truc for good manners must mean consideration for those who teacb. for aur own family. and for the honor af the institution wc are privilcged 10 attend.' Let us be cheerful. consîderate, belpful and polîte in our relaticnship t-o olhei's. and we shall be playing an important part, in making Canada a better nat- ion, and at the saine time, we shaîl not fal mb the danger of being vulgar, rude and illbred. Doctor Gives Cheap Advice About Measies We read in a c*y newspaper recently the rernai-ks of a well known Ontario doctor regardîng the meashes epidemic wbicb is s'aceping acroas Ontania. claiming thousands of vidtima. Measles is flot cansidei-ed a veny seriaus disca-se. and Ibis dactar suggested that as nearly everycne had tbem. il was just as %vell ta get tbem, and gel it over wilb. It is but a repitition of the o)ld belief that every cbild must go tbrougb a series cf cbildren's ailmenîs during their yautb. and you migbt juat as well stop woi-iying about the mal- ter and let il go aI that. For a medical practilioner ta make remai-ks of thi- nature is. we should sa-y, a slîght an the pro- fession be represents. Measîca, and any cîber child disease produces certain effects on the buman body, wbicb sap strengtb. Measles is usually acccmpanied by a fever, and un a feveisb state il becomes ex- tremely dangerous ta catch cold. If a cold is caught complications may set in and deatb may quite easily result fi-cm Ibeir effecta. We do nat prafesa ta have any particular know- ledge of medico science, but common sense tells us that bbc leszs disease a persan bas the better bis constitution is likely to be. Es'eiy effort sbould be made ta keep fi-romgclting the contagion and it seems to us that the medîcal profession sbauld aLso bend every effort tcwards the eradication cf Ihese cbild diseases wicb wieak a beavy tolun bealtb, and at the samne tîme coat the country millions of dollars annually un medical expenses. Showing Up the Late Corners The Carleton Place Canadian cammented recently upon the tardîness cf those atendîng Public meet- ings, and refeis ta an incident wbich happened in that town. Ib seems that an îllustrated lecture was being given in the towii hall, and afler gettîng staî't- cd the lecturci' was constantly interrupted by late- corners entei'ing the hall, as they staggered in the dark ta find their seats. Finally the lecturer halted bis remanks, and then brought the crimson ta bbe cbeeks of the offenders witb "We wîll proceed when those who have corne in late ai-e seated". Il mu.st have been a little embarassing ta those for whomn the remai-ka were intended for whom thcy fitted, but il sci-ved as a valuable lesson. 0f course The Statesmian bas remarked on Ihis subject an numei'ous occasions, but wbY not, it is pai-ticulai-lY deax la a newspapermani's beart.

It is an invari-able cuLstom of some people to partic- ularly caîl a meeting for 8 o'clock With bbc intention of geting things under wvay at 8.30. This is an en- couragement rather than a delcîrant. At the High Scbool an endeavour' bas been muade 10 sîart every meeting rigbu. on advertised lime.

A few such lessons would work odr. Put Out That Camp Fire The current effort being miade ta educat.e the public iin the importance and technique of building and disposing of camp f ires will strike a sympathetic note arnong many citizens. It is a good work. The automobile has transformed many a city- dweller into a camper. Governments, realizing this, have built roads that. tap scenic wonderlands and vu-gin forests. Forest sýervices have cleared traîls for the hikers. Toda3', as at no time before, the natural resources for recreation are open to t.he people's use. And abuse. The boy in a well-organized camp is not the chief offender. He is taught how to build and care for fires.

Religion and Honesty That dîshonesties 0f vaicus types and kindsh done more tao discredit and damage the Christ religion tban ai the unorîhodoxies that havee affllcted it would be a somewhat rea'cnable prop( lion.
