THE MATTER WITH KINGSTON. Some persons who ask, What is the : matter with Kingston ? Why does it | tective in its character, and he justi- not boom ? might get some food for thought in a study of the conditions in other cities, There d everything, and the Industrial Bureau of Winnipeg, in a late report, gives (evidence of ite usefulness. Its mem- bership is made up of representatives of different bodies, and its resources are the liberal contributions of those, supplemented by the grants of thé The org itself. It has offices, and officers and committecs, and a definite programme of action. Its aim is to entice manu- facturers to the city, to add to the population, and it claims 'to have nc purpose to the fullest 6 The population of the oity during the existence of the bureau has grown from 79,975 to 111,717; the bank de posits have incromsed, in the last year alone, by thirty-five per oent.; investments on capital account have run high into the millions; the city has become great in its activities, its resotirees, its trade, and plans are being laid for an even more wonder: ful development in the future. It will astonish our industrial com- mittee, with its learn that the butlget of the Winnipeg Industrial Bureau, for 1907-08, is $25,- 11000. And this covers rental, salaries, transportation, entertainment, and ad- || vertising. The use of printers' ink in | newspapers, magazines, || advertising calls for an expenditure ili of $15,000. Such a waste; some one {| may be ready to exclaim. Not at all. Advertising pays, and this is the ex- perience 'of every city which indulges in it.

The Catholic Register is impelled by recent experiences to advocate the use of the higher or secondary schools by the Catholic scholars. Our contem- porary is delighted with the splendid standing of the scholars in the en. trance examinations, a standing which d to any city or distriot in the province. The Catholic schools have been greatly teaching force. Of that there evidence of the higher standing' which is taken by the pupils of the separate improved in their Encouraged by this ter does not see why the Catholic pro ple should content themselves with the education which is granted in the pri- "Time and custom," says our contempory, "have somchow magnified and misinterpreted the 'en- trance' as the point where school life closes, instead of regarding it in ite true sense as the trance to knowledge, really is. All before is but a prepara the understanding of things that make for effectiveness in the race of life. For years there has been talk of a Catholic high school for Toronto. If every child whoso right it now is to attend a high school asserts that right by presenting itself for the tuition the high = schoal affords, accommodation for so doing must and will be pro- vided.
