W. JAMES, EDrrot EDUCATION FOR LIVING Training is essential ta enable a child ta become a well-adjusted member cf saciety. Our universal Public School is ideal for this moat important training. as it is a significant achievement of our de- mocratic culture. Schools are devices and teachers are instr~uments designed ta in- duct the growing child into this immense n'oulding beritage, where he may realize that he bas sometbing ta contribute ta democracy. Teachers can only impart wbat they themselves possess. The class is the re- fiection cf what tbey are. Variaus factors are essentiai for an effective society group - unseifishness, dlean thinking and liv- inr;, honesty and consideration cf others. The teaching cf such attitudes is just as vital as any subject on the curriculum. How then shahl the teacher develop these without being dictatorial? We ail realize tbat one cf God's greatest gifts is con- Zscience. Oidren in the habit-forming years are endowed with this guide. How can teachers aid children to listen to the dictates cf conscience?

THE REAL PROBLEM IN BRITAIN The recent election in Britain pro- duced a great loscf seats in Parliament for the Socialist Party, but still left Prime Minister Attlee with a small majority - -toc smail ta justify expectation that an- other election can be avoided for long. In discussing what bappened li Bn- tain, a great many peole argue that the advanced "welf arc state' ideas cf the Gov- ernment were flot an issue li the election. They point eut that the Canservative Party made it very clean that they in- 7tended to keep open ail the present "wel- fare state" plans, whule, cf course,, the Socialist Party bas no intention cf stop- ;ping any cf them. * This is perfectly truc, and it is act- ualiy the trouble with Bitain at present. Neithen Party was willing ta face the real issue, and, as a result, neithen Party was able ta, gain full support from the nation. Wbat Bitain is facing, as wc sec it, *is the consequences cf an attempt ta cx- pand "welf are state" activities toc rapidly. Even with the enormncus gifts from the *United States, Britain is net able ta keep up the present payment cf subsidies ta mnake food sefm ta be cbeap, the present great expenditures on "free" bealtb scr- vices, and all the rest cf its "welf are state" activities. In addition, it bas been becoming very clear li Bitain that any -more of this "wclfare state" business means more queuing up, more forms ta fill out, more interference by the Gcvcnn- ment li the daily life cf the individual. * Sa, what really bappened in thiq elec- tion was that the people cf Bitain, liking the "welfare sýate" as evenyone likes its, .2 pleasant results, fcund themnsclves disiik- ;ing the uxipleasant consequences ta such an extent that they returned almost exact-' * ly as many Members.'of Parliament cp- Yfaveur cf it.

Stunlblinf about after years in a chair. "Look!" he cried, III can WALK!" A littie girl who'd been blind since birth Got an answering smile fram me When she smiled through her tears from her hospital bed: "Oh, thank God! I can SEE!" "Now I can live," cried another chap, Just back fr'om the stratosphere .. 'I was deaf for years but that airpiane ride Made a dream came true - I can HEAR!" Yet how many folks do we meet each day Unhappy as they can be Despite the fact that a generous God Lets them WALK and 1{EAR and SEE! -Nick Kenny COURTESY AT ALL TIMES It *is not aiways easy ta be courteaus and polite ta al anc cornes in contact with in a day. Yet, caurtesy is anc of the greatest virtues to be *cuitivated and bas great effect on the individuals anc meets day by day. How easy it is ta turn away the anger by a sweet gentie courteous reply or statement. How effective it is ta turn aside some malicous action of an individuai by a courteous action instead of the usual retaliation. These are the things that one should study; these are the things that shouid be taught in every ciass room and in the home. Be courteous under ail circumstances and conditions. This means when the irritating nag- ging often arouses the angry word; this means when the questianing boy or girl interrupts the reading, or the game at home. This means when the angry motor- ist rubs or crumples your fexnder; this means when the individuai who is under strain cails you ail sorts of names. On ahl these occasions turn aside the individual with a light courteous answer. This is the highest deveiopment that man can achieve. It means an abýlute contrai of the tangue arid the mentality. It means a careful checking of language that al will understand. Is it worth while? It certainly is. If courtesy could be taught in the home, in the schooi, in the work- shop, in the office and on the streets, there would be a definite relationship es- tablished among ail and it would be a bappier worid ta live in. CHEERFUL PROSPECT Tbree pieces of recent news go far to explain why Canadians have been enjoy- ing sucb bigb post-war prosperity, why they were bardly affected by the mid-i949 American recession, and whythey may, have confidence for the future. One was the third anniversary Feb. 13 cf the finding of ail at Leduc, near Edmonton. This highlighted the fact that in three short years Canada bas passed from being a desperately oil-bungry coun- try ta anc that can look forward ta being self -supplying. It bighiighted the fact that money is being poured into western ail at the rate cf $150,QD,000 or more a year and that this money is percolating througbi the in- dustry and payrolis of the entire country. Another piece of news was a summary o mining expenditures prepared by the Canadian Metal Mining Association, This says that.producing metal mines (not in- cluding iran) spent $151,00,000 ycarly with other Canadian industries for mater- jais and supplies, or nearly 30 cents out of every dollar they earn. This is by producing mines alone and outsîde of money spent to bring mines into production. For instance, it is estimated that $150,000,000 wiii be spent in materials in the next few years in developing iran and titanium mines. A third item which probably gives the best assurance of ail that good times' will continue was an estimate by the Domin- ion bureau cf statistics that more money cause your memben, out of syrn- aid age pension pragnam fer pathy for many of his constituents citizens which wil onable la who are suffcning in a similar ta set a definite figure ta bi mauner, has succcedod in obtain- the amount ûp ta $100 or $12 ing a high quality head cold com- month in their pension derna plete* with a rare throat, a nase on thein companies.

The 'upper cias hock ta the West End cf Landau, and the lower ta the Eat End, whule the middle clars, I suppose, floek somewhere in between. The dis- tinctions between these classes are-or were-manetai'y. The woalthy'were at anc end and the poor at the other, with the more or less well-to-da in the mniddle. The wealthy would, cf course, claim they were eultured, and the well-to-do that they wero respect- able and educatod. The poor didn't make any dlaim at ail. They jurt lived or existed and for the mort part wcre quite happy in their own way. It has been said that every Englishman laves a lord, and that is or was truc generally. The English people, as I knew them, did net regard thc different grad- es cf socicty as unnatural., They wore rather proud cf their anis- tocracy and they liked ta have in their midrt romeone with a titie ta look up ta, especially if ho were a self-made man.
