Co-operation of Teacher to the Boy's Moral , Fibre--An Able Address By Judge Lindsey, of Denver, An address of very unusual interest and importance was that delivered in Toronto Guild Hall, before the Toron- to Teachers' Association, the other afternoon by Judge Ben B. Lindsey, of Denver, /whose weputation for the establishment of the juvenile courts of Denver has become continental. His success in the reclamation of juvenile offenders has, as is well known, been extraordinary. This is, perhaps, due to the fact stated by In- spector J. L. Hughes in introducing the speaker, that Judge Lindsey was the first man to adopt the cardinal principle of recognition of the rights of the child in the administration of justice. A Judge Lindsey said that he had ear ly found that he could not judge a case and stop at shat. No good had been done, and especially in cases of child offender, he wanted to see what the child had been before and what he became after his appearance in the courts. This had led him to a study of 'the environment of juvenile offenders, and to a recognition that it was this environment that was us- ually responsible for the offence. The work of the juvenile courts was thus arranged on the basis of a com- bination of the judge, the school teacher, and the probation officer to build up influences for good in the environment of the boy, and to strengthen all thé good that was in him. Good was to be found in the worst of them. There was no such thing as a bad boy--they were only misunderstood boys, and Judge Lind- sey adopted the principle of trusting them, believing in them and overcom- ing evil with . There had been plenty of laws for the proper treatment of juvenile erim- inals, but these had been ignored and forgotten. The only new legal enact ment secured had been a law defining delinquency and placing the responsi: bility upon parents, guardians, and others of the child's moral wellbeing. The right principle was to consider not what the boy had done, but what he was. In pursuance of this prin- ciple, boys A in charged with crime in Denver were not locked up nor accused of criminality. They were sent to detention schools:and put to work either at lessons or at some manual employment, exactly as they Judge and should normally be doing if ®t lib- erty. The boy was praised when he did well, was trusted, and carefully studied; his weak points were noted, and he was trained to develop resist- ance where it was needed. The results were, as most people knew, remark- able. Too much leniency, however, was dangerous, though not so dangerous as brutality. It was fatal to allow a boy to get off by a successful lie. The truth had to be got at, and they got at it, though sometimes it took weeks PUREST, STRONGEST, BEST. Cates oo Alam, Acoonts, Lime, Phcshtes, or uy lojariont, IEW GILLETT aves TYORONTO.ONY.

There | could be no justice without love, and ; it was his object not to reform boys, , but to teach them to reform them- selves. Similes.

Language Describes the Home. In no other language, according to the London Telegraph, is there a word expressing the ideas and associations which are aroused at the sound of the simple yet heart-touching word, "home." A Frenchman once translat- ed Cardinal Newman's hymn, "Lead, Kindly Light," and in his hands the beautiful line, "The night is dark, and I am far from home," became "La nuit est sombre, et je suis loin de mon foyer," the translator havi been obliged to use for home the h word which describes the greenroom * he Taha apd Spanish : e an sh "casa" the German "haus"--their' "heim" is foo general to have 'any particular value--and the Russian "doma," all refer to a building of some kind or other, and have none of the memories and associations that cluster round the precious British word. ! 21,518 Miles of Railroad. - Canada's railway mileage is 21,518, an increase of 917 over the year be- fore, according to the Railways and Canals annual report. were 21,- 353 miles of railroad in operation and 4,085 miles of siding.

Deputy Minister of Education Colqu- i houn On Canadian Papers. | A high tribute was paid to the'news- paper press of Canada by Mr. A. H. U. Colquhoun, Deputy Minister of Education, in his address before the Daughters of the Empire at the Cana- dian Institute in Toronto recently. Mr. Colquhoun's subject was 'The Press of the British Empire," and he said that he considered the Canadian press, for sincerity, earnestness, and unselfishness, to be easily in the first rank in the Empire. Canadian | press was frank in its expression of opinion, but intelligent in its opin- ions, and the speaker knew no coun- try where public opinion was so ac- curately reflected in its periodicals. Canadian papers were, perhaps, less | brilliantly written than those of Eng- | land, but they were nearer to the life | of the people. i the greatest difficulties of a Canadian newspaper. High import duties had to be paid on inks, presses, and type- setting machines, though there was no | justification of such a duty, as such machinery was not manufactured in | Oaneda. Moreover, the Canadian press had to compete with hundreds of United States periodicals. _ The great characteristic of the colon- ial, and especially of the Canadian press, was its free ussion of Im- | perial matters. Such freedom should | encouraged, and it would be found ! that the newspapers of Canada would be the most valuable and efficient agents for the cause of Imperial Fed- | eration. In Australia the populatiun was chiefly in the cities, thus producing wealthy and powerful newspapers. The tone of the great Australian dail- ies was very similar to that of the English ones; the problems were English problems transplanted--not new ones, as in Canada. They were | rather heavy papers; not so readable | as those of Canada. | Of the Bouth African papers little | was known in America, nor did they exert much influence outside the col- | ony, though they were often well writ- | ten and ably conducted. The press of Great Britain the | Speaker considered to be the ablest in the world, as it was the oldest. Of re- | cent years a certain amount of Ameri- can disregard of accuracy has been { introduced, and some Amegican vio- | lence of tone, but, on the whole, the | English press was likely to remain | dignified, able, and respectable. It was | one of the greatest influences which England was exerting upon the world. The cost of production was one of | A Woman of the Day. Lady Edgar, President of the Na- tional Council of Women of Canada, is the widow of the Hon. Sir James David r, KCM.G., PC, late Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada.

Lady | Edgar has contributed from time to time articles on historical subjects to inagasings and journals. Her first book, "Ten Years of Upper Canada in Peace and War," won the praise of the late Mr. Gladstone as the best book he had ever read on Canada. Her next production, "The Life of Gen- eral Brock," appeared in the "Makers of Canada Series," in 1905, and has been favorably reviewed in the Eng- lish and Canadian press.

He was admirably ualified Bhysieals and socially for is kind of life. He didn't know that he had a stomach; was ready to oat anything and to sleep anywhere. These were strong Raints in his favor; for in our hospitable country, if a visitor does not eat a Benjamin's por- tion, the woman of the house suspects t he does not like the food, and that he is pining for the dainties of the city. He would talk farm, fish, or horse with the people as readily as polities or religion. He made himself, or rather be really felt, equally at home in the fisherman's cabin or the log house of new set- tler, as with the substantial farmer or well-to-do merchant; would kiss the women, remember all about the last sickness of the baby, share the jokes and thoughts of the men, and be po- pular with all alike. In those days when there were few roads in the Province, or when bridle paths were dignified with the ngme of roads; when the fishermen and farmers along the coast did their business with Hali- fax by semi-annual visits in their boats and smacks; when the postman carried Her Majesty's mail to Anna- polis in a queer little gig that could accommodate one passenger; when the mail to Pictou and the Gulf of St. Lawrence was stowed away in one of | the great-coat pockets of a sturdy pedestrian who kept the other pocket free for the partridges he shot on the way, we ean fancy what an event in almost any part of the Province the appearance of Joe Howe must have n. He oame along fresh, hearty, full of sunlight, brimming over with news, fresh from contact with the | great people in Halifax--and yet one | of themselves, hailing them, Tom and | Jack, and as happy with them 'as if in the king's palace. "Joe Howe came to our house last night," bragged a little girl as she skipped along to school next morning, "he kissed mam- ma and kissed me too." The famil- iarity was seldom rebuked, for his heartiness was contagious. He was as full of jokes as a peddler, and had as few, airs.--~From Principal Grant's Sketch. Practical Forestry. The Canadian Dairymen is pressing strongly upon the Ontario Govern- ment the need of a forestry policy for the older counties, It says: "Recent trips thtough considerable sections of Hastings, Northumberland and Nor- folk Counties, in each of which dairy- ing is the main agricultural pursuit, revealed the fact that hundreds and hundreds of acres of land, fit only for wood lots, have been cleared of all timber and brush and now are prac. tically useless for any other pur hv Much of this land is composed vegetation has been destroyed by the fierce heat of summer "and lack of moisture. Winds blow the sand from these hills, and in some cases make nearby roads almost impassable. In other cases the timber has been re. moved from the low, swamp lands, ing yp and hundreds of farmers suffer from the effects." The Dairyman urges the Govern- ment to adopt the suggestion of Dr. Judson Clark, the forestry expert, to lend. municipalities any money that might be required to purchase such or fifteen years the timber would be able to refund the loan with interest. In Germany, where this policy has beqn carried out, the revenue derived from some of the municipal forest is sufficient to meet the local taxes and leave a small borius for each rate- payer. Boys Outnumber Girls. When one gets down to cold-blood. ed statistics, many old beliefs perish. There is the general belief that there are more women than men in this The census knocks out this there were at that time £751,708 maintained is shown by the fact that there were 66,- 464 male children under one year of age and 65,116 female children of the same age. Another persistent belief was that the execass of girls would be found in the older and more settled parts of the country; and the excess of boys on the frontiers of sattlement. The facts are the reverse of this, as the following figures of population under one year will show :-- Male. Female.

This is not just the time of the year for hunting stories, but here is one from The Hanover Post that all good sportsmen will read with pleasure. The story is told of Mr. Ralph Brunt: "Sitting on a log near a bay out West several years ago, he chanced to notice six fine taal coming along in a straight line, one after another. They were coming straight for him. Quick as a flash Ralph raised his gun, and with up~rring aim, fired at the foremost bird. The teal getting the benefit of the full charge dropped dead, and the other five coming up behind it at tremendous speed, were | unable to /swerve or dodge; and the terrific impact against the dead body of their Jeader broke the necks of all five birds. The thing happened so quickly that Ralph eouldn't eredit it till he saw the six dead birds in a heap. Local sportsmen declare that Type-talk never does half justice to high-grade goods.
