W. JAMES, Editor V'ot Enough Knowledge of Achievernents of Pioneers Speaklzing at the Bowmanville Rotary Club, F' 'y, J. Alex Edmnison, K.C., a high authorlty on the youth movement and penal reform in Cý-:iac!a, brought out a very important point in re'aticn to the education of youth today. He f cirnd in hs personal contacts amnong rural p-o'Dlic schools that f ew pupils had any know- le ewhatever of the names and achievements o' carlier students and pioneers who had gone c-ta vin farne in many spheres of endeavor. T' -'r old schoolz, stili standing, had no records c.' t1air contributions to national development, n,) niaques or pictures placed Io honour their er-*nent names and work. In contrast, Mr. Edmnison told that It was the general practice in similar districts of the 1J'tad States ta erect memorials and preserve the history of native sons and daughters as a rreans of inspiring community pride and of qivlng students something to aim at, somnething to stimulate their ambitions in choosing careers. Fcaders who give their attention to the short ripnort of Mr. Edmison's address ln this issue of The Statesman, will recognize the truth and tl"i value of what ha had ta say. It qoes right to the root of an important element in circum- veriting the tide of juvenile dellnquency. That is te stimulate ambition, Somne years ago the editor of The Statesman becarne impressed with this very feature brought out by Mr. Edmison. It may be recalled that in an address before the Advertising & Sales Club In Toronto he quoted the naines and açhieve- monts of many prominent men who went out f rom Durham County schools ta win high places in Canada in their respective spheres. The talk mret with such enthusiasinl that we later publish- ed it under the titIs, "Country Boys Make Gocd." It reccivad wide circulation and copies were sent f0 every school in the county. It in hoped it $9 still used in these achools for we have evidence that many pupils were lnspired frorn its con- tents. Vie go along entirely wlth Mr. Edmison when he suggests that achools make a serlous atternpt ta gather and preserve the histories of noted and successful students and in cases of unusual distinction to erect plaques and por- traits in the schools. There is nothing like high personal examples when it comes to fanning the smark of ambition and gcod citizenship arnong the youth of today who have no many distrca::fonýs to claim theîr attention. We trust tih;s lec.on will flot be lost among the School Boards of the ceunty. Dividing Up the Cake Every group in Canada, and aIse a great many individuals, are engaged in arguing that the Government should do something to see that their income is increased because the cost of living has risen. The first question which arises is by what standard incarnes are to be related ta prices. Is ; t ta be aissurred that the situation was perfect at the outbreak of war, when the Government first began its experiments wlth wages and prices? if se, it will scan ha discovered that the great majarity of Canadiana have had in- carne increases since then which have outrun the increases in the coat of living, se that the brcad principle that the cost of living and in- c-cmes should ha related would. if put into ef- fect today, produce more wage decreases than Increases. In the second place, aIl this discussion seemns ta leave out the fact that the income of the Canadian people dos not consist of money. Mcney Is an extremely useful thlng, as mont of us know, but only for the purpose of pur- chasing qooda and services. Once that idea is accepted, It becomes qulte evident that the incarne of the Canadlan people Is really the goods and services available for them ta use.

We suggesf you compare its proposais with any other opposition Excessive or capriclous discipline produced bad effects, said Prof. Rex. Knight, of the Chair of Psychology in Aberdeen University, at the summer school of the Scottish Council for Health Education hold at Stratbpeff or. ,"But, in viaw oi the nonsense talked by iaddists, it i. time that a professianal psychologist said a few plain words about discipline in home and school," ha added. "A few accentric schoolmasters and amateur educatienists loudly assert that child- ran should bave no discipline at ail, but should be given absolute freedom ta devalop as they will." "On the contrary," declared Proiessor Knight, "cbildrcn need a stable framework in which ta livo their lives, and this can b. pro- vided only by discipline consistently enforced. Where there is no discipline, there is no order, ne sense ai security, and no justice. Cbildren have ne need for absolute freedom, and have fia desire for it. They do not want ta lie saddled with the intolerable burden oi filling every unoccupied heur and sattling every moral pro- blem by their own unaided efforts." The doctrine ai ne discipline and absolute freedom is bath false and pernicious. Children naed and appreciate the influence cf adults on their thought and behavicur. In the absence oi such influence, and ai the control and discipline which it entails they cannot ba happy or make the most ai their abilities or acquire the senti- ments thaf distinguish the civilized adultf from the creature ai instinct. Rinks and Recreation Promnoted By Live Towns From Sunderland, Ont., popu- lation 75 0, ta High River, Alta., population 1764, is a stretch of 2000 miles within which a score or more af small tawns are pres- cntly building Memarial Rinks and Recreation Centres, and ticy are putting thcmn across with pub- lic entiusiasm and community funds. In Ontario the people are fortunate for the Ontario govern- ment cantributes grants in aid of Memnorial Centres. Bowman- ville's new Memorial Rink and Recreation Centre qualifies for thus goe-rnent grant.

Believe It or Not Profits Lower Than People Think The Canadian Chamber of Commerce at its Convention in Vancouver last week was scratc-- its. collective head wondering how it is going ta persuade the public that business doesn't make the profits that people think it makes. For instance, as Walter E. El- liott cf Toronto, told the Cham- ber, public opinions poils show that the average persan thinks that business and industrial concerns make about-32 cents on each dol- lar af sales. That's just the aver- age opinion - individual guesses run fromn five cents ta 90.
