When phe surveys the field of so- cial effort and endeavor which has opened wp in Canada in "connection with the war, ome cannot. but be powerfully fmpressed with its com- prehensiveness. The response to the many calls necessitated by the spe cial circumstances of. this time of national stress and testing has been both wide and wise. Those calls have beé¢n of infinite variety, and of al- most infinite number, and, on the whole, the response with which they have met has not been fmadequate to their urgency.

Where the young mother, for instance, wants to start again and is willing to. keep her child with her and look after it, I think there ought to be some scheme for removing her to a neighborhood where ber story is not known and where she, therefore, will not he an outcast. Unless immorality is to be publicly condoned the girl could never have a fair chance in her own neighborhood. I think she might also be allowed to take the prefix Mrs. instead of Migs, both for the child's and her own sake, but I would not allow her to call herself by the father's name. It seems to me that our duty is to discourage fmmorality in every pos- sible way, but to be as Tair as pos- sible to the children who are its vie- tims.

The Toronto branch alone has raised in cash $133,766.80 to date without including what has been given by Toronto citizens for the Unlveraity In addition, that branch has been the collection of Canadian hospital bases in France, 4 correspondent narrates the follow- ing interesting discovery. Seated at the head of the table was a child of five, dredsed from head to foot in authentic Canadian uniform. While his brother orderlies had abandoned thelr headgear during the meal, this little soldier had proudly kept on his miniature forage cap. Ft was not difficult to see that he was a pet. The men said that he was the base's goods of all kinds, and of enormous number and total value, for the use of the sick and wounded soldiers. The executive, however, Mr. J. J. Gibson, the treasurer of the Toronto branch, told a newspaper repregenta- tive, do not claim much credit for the work in connection with these goods. That credit belongs to thé patriotic women of Toronto, who, in numerous organizations, meet and sew and make just such articles as are useful, and send largely to the Women's Patriotic League; packs and forwards them. The Canadian Red Cross Assocla- tion has its own commissioner in London. The total sum raised in cash by the society, inclusive of that raised by the Toronto branch, amounts to $600,000. And it has shipped fourteen thousand cases of supplies, containing over two million garments, beSides surgical supplies. 4 Very admirable, 00, 1s the work |¢ carried on by the Toronto Women's Patriotic League. In addition to the forwarding of goods for the Red Cross Association, the work done by the league is largely industrial, in the sense that it gives employment to those affected hy depression con- sequent on the war. From the city grant of $3,600 and by means of do- nations and pr ds of sale at Its workroom the league has raised a sum of over $20,000, which has gone to various beneficent ohjec:s of the kind indicated, nearly $13,000 having been disbursed on account of wages and material, A great amount | of employment has been given 10 seamstresses and others, and 'some- thing of a specialty las been 1 of the making of cheap dolls, a large quantity of which hsve been pur chased by a Toronto firm.

At present {it would seem- that little can be done in tha. direction, as ocean rates on such commodities as timber are very high, and insuranc¢ is almost prohibitive, in certain quarters. The report in question indicates what an immense natural resource the province pes- sesses in its timber. Almost at the outset the chief forester says: "The market problem confronting | minimum the lumber industry and the Govern- | | ment's'efforts to assist in solving it, | to Under the act a local town plan- ping board must be appointed in every urban and rural municipality, and a town plaiming controller has to be appointed for the whole pro- vince. No street can hereafter be laid out, or any subdivision made unless the plans are approved by this board. Within three years every board must either prepare a town |i planning scheme or a sét of town planning bylaws with the following requirements: 1. The distance between buildings be not less than 60 feet and up | are dealt with -in the following re- | to 100 feet on opposite sides of exist- | port.

The lumber Industry, which was in a weak condition fol | lowing the inflation of a year ago, | was brought to.a dead halt. The ef- | fects are now felt in every commun- | ity throughout the province by every class of the population, for this fn- | dustry furnished our greatest export | product, met the adverse balance of [4rade In every community, and pro- | vided settlers with a market for both | their labor and their produce. In | the majority of the_ villages and | towns in the province prosperity will return quickest through revival in the lumber business. There is no lack of lumber to cut; there is ne lack of mills to cut it. It is the mar ket that must be sought, both Cawada east of the Rockies and in the United States from the Missiasip- pi Valley eastward, in Australia and the Orjent, and to a certain extent in Europe, An aggressive campalgn for the capture of these markets is now under way in the Northwestern States, lumber manufacturers and the Federal Government pushing it together. 1 cannot too strongly urge that the most important duty of the Forest Branch at the present time is to assist in extending the markets for British Columbla's for- est preducts. If the present oppor- tunity is lost the lumber industry of this province will have a long uphill | fight in establishing its position." | The report continues: "From the | earliest day the ploneer industry of British Columbia has been the manu- facture of forest products. Of all the resources with which the pro- vince is endowed, the forest, because of its. quantity, high quality, varied usefulness, and accessibility to many Waterways and transportation routes, has been the resource from which the population of most districts first sought their livelihood. The faet that agricultural development in many sections of the province has waited upon thé market for labor and for. produce provided hy the lumber industry has done much to make our forest industries promin- ent. "A province so noted for its for- ests has naturally sttracted workers and investors who have received their training in other forest re- gions, and who are eager to take part in the development of the last Important stand of commercial tim- ber in Canada. It is not surprising, with these considerations in mind, to find that British Columbia led all the 'provinces in Canada in lum- ber production in 1913, and that the manufacture of forest products was the province's most important source of wealth." ---------------- Ontario Model Schools. and Sturgeon Falls prepare students for teaching in the English-French Pub- lic and Separate schools, while the burpose of the others is to prepare teachers for teaching in the districts and the poor parts of the counties, which, on account of their remote- | Ing streets, both In respect of new buildings and reconstructed balld- ings, and to be not less than 80 feet on. new main thoroughfares, whatever. the width of the street. 2.
