"If 1 am asked what we are fight- ing for I reply in two sentences. In the first place to fulfil a solemn in- ternational obligation which, if it had been entered into between private persons in the ordinary con- cerns of life, would have been re- garded as an obligation not only of law but of hondr, which no self- respecting man 'could possibly have repudiated. 1 say, secondly, we are fighting to vindicate -the principle which, in these days when force, material force, sometimes seems to be the dominant influence and fac- tor in the development of mankind, we are fighting to vindicate the principle that small nationalities are not to be crushed, in deflance of in- ternational good faith, by the ar- bitrary will of a strong and over- mastering power. I do not believe any nation ever entered into a great controversy--and this is one of the greatest history will eyer know--- with a clearer conscience and strong- er conviction that it is fighting not for aggression, not for the mainten- ance even of its own selfish inter- est, but that it is fighting in defence of principles, the maintenance of which is _yital te, the civilization of the world."--Rt, Hon. H. H. As- qiith, in fhe House of Commons, August 6th, 1914, ---------- GERMAN-AMERICAN DIOTATION. One dislikes to think it, but the fact is pressed upon him that the Germans in the United States, and the German-Americans, are making studied efforts to create trouble be- tween the United States and Great Britain. The German Government, advised no doubt by its enemies in America, demand that the United States shall be much more vigorous with Great Britain than it has assumed to be. The German: Government, in other words, does not hesitate to insinuate that the Unijed States is more ami- able in the discussion of trade and treaty issues with Britain than it is with Germany. And there is a de- sign in this, It is to force the Unit- ed States if possible to modify its de- mands®in connestion with the Lusi- tania outrage. The answer of the American press, reflecting in advance of opinions of the Government, is that the United States is not accept- ing any advice from Germany in dip- lomatic affairs, and that President Wilson expects a reply to his 'last note which will be direct and satis- factory. Has Mr. Bryan anything to do with this intriguing of the Germans in the diplomatic conversations which have been carried on between the United States and Britain? The question has been suggestéd because of the fact that the head of the German- American Alliance in San Francisco is a Bryan man, and he has been in- sulting in his references to the Presi- dent. The activity of the German politicians everywhere indicates that they are turning the war into a po- litical issue. In the next national election the German-American vote will be cast against any one who ap- pears to favour the Allies in this Aght, Some of these, days the Wilson party will be compelled, in self-de- fen.e, to expose the new phase of German diplomacy and financial influence, and the. reckon- ing will be a serious one. 2 England faces cohseription.

P., made 'sa¢rifices when the re- signed their seats in order to serve Mr. Rogers and save the party. Mr. Rogers stayed on the job him- self, as chief engineer of the party Nor did he cease' his la- bours until the people destroyed his rejuvenated party and its plant. It is not likely that he can for many a day, if ever, recover his power in Manitoba. But he will receive credit for one thing--he played the game for all he was worth, and he played it until the end. ' FAULTY SCHOOL TRAINING. As a response, apparently, to the article; in the Whig upon manual training and household science, some one very kindly sends the editor a copy of the Regulations These the editor has seen and per: used several times, and he has per- used them again with strengthened convictions. Here is a pamphlet which the Education Department has published presumably as a guide to school boards, and it is not followed Sm-- nor enforced. It is declared, in the Introduction, that Manual Training and Household Science are regular subjects of a mod- ern public and high school general course, that they form a "mecessary part of the liberal education which every boy and girl should receive." It is declared, further that "they are cultural," and "they are also practi- cal." 'We quote: "The Manual Training and House- hold Science courses begin ' in the Kindergarten and are continued throughout all the forms of the pub- lic schools and the lower schools of the high and continuation schools, and the courses in the fifth forms and the lower schools are organized in accordance with local conditions. After the introductory courses in the lower forms of the public schools, courses in wood-working and wood- turning and the associated drawing, and in hand and machine sewing, cookery, and sanitation and hygiene are sufficient for the purposes of a liberal education. The forging and the machine-shop practice, with their associated drawing, which are now generally taken as the part of the Manual Training course, properly form a part of technical and indus- trial courses; but, except where com- prehensive technical or industrial courses have been established, these subjects are for the present permit- ted by the Department of Education as extensions of the Manual Training course and are included therein for the purpose of distributing the Leg- islat ve Grant." In this publication directions are given with regard to the accommoda- tion and equipment required for Manual Training and Household Seci- ence, and we confess that if these di- rections were carried out there would be some chance for effective instruction in these two departments of modern education. But they are not. The Educa- tion Department should guide the 'School Boards when they undertake to comply with the regulations, and permit of nothing which is inade- quate or unsuitable with regard to teaching and equipment. The Man- ual Training and Household science Departments of Kingston are surely such as the Education Departments can approve, and for two reasons: (1) When they were established the department did not see that they complied with regulations, and (2) in their supervision, There have been instructions, but what have they amounted to? A "grouch" or a "kick," but no definite instruction to School Boards as to the demands of the hour, 50 : tion that can lift the institutions of the ruts and to a plane where higher and better service may be ex- Household of 1912. | there has been nothing helpful since| EDITORIAL NOTES, War business first.
