The idea of interesting the school children in public events, and of working them into all the relief schemes of the day, incident upon the war, is good. But to be effective it must be followed up. Some time ago it was proposed to make up local scrap books and send them to the boys at the front for their happiness and enlightenment; and the School Board spent considerable money in buying paper and paste. How many books have been made up the Whig does not know, But it does know that a large part of the stock js to the good and without prospect .of its use. This does not speak well for those who were. behind the move- ment. They should not have wea- ried so soon in well doing. The greater proposition, which was dis- cussed at the Board of Education last evening, Bignires the greater ef- fort in order to make it a success. FEEDING THE CHILDREN, The Toronto School Board propos- to feed the children of poor people. A kitchen will be fitted up in one of "the public schools as an experiment, and if the expected success is scored other kitchens will be established in other schools. The subject is one upon which there is a marked diver- sity of opinion. There are many people whose appearances indicate that they are not sufficiently or judi- ciously fed. It may be that the food they are given is not as mutri- tious as it ought to be, and that if people knew more about it they would byy and cook with greater care. However, that is a question quite apart from the one under con- sideration. The plan of, giving meals or lunch- eons in the schools is not generally approved. It i approved in Lon- don, England, where the local Boards found no 'alternative but to feed the children of. the masses. There is. a need of it in New York where dis- tance from school makes it impos- sible for the small children to travel between the school and the home for the mid-day meal. There is a nec- essity for it in every populous centre for local and domestic reasons. There is always, of course, the delicacy of distinguishing between the poor and the well-to-do. The children of some parents, like the parents themselves, will suffer the pangs of hunger before they will reveal their real condition. This brompts. the thought of giving. soups and light foods to everyone and of offering them in larger, quantities where they .are the chief contribu- tions' to the health of the scholar. The proposition is worthy of all the attantion that has been put upon it. The sympathy of the teacher goes out to the children when it is sus. pected that their food is not suffi- 'elent or missing at home, and she rejoices 'whién steps are" taken ays. tematically to confer a great social benefit upon the deserving ones. THE RATE OF INTEREST. A natural corollary of the big war loans, the inevitable' result which some financiers predicted. bas been the rise in the rate of interest. When the Canadian Government, in its extremity, 1s willing to pay 5 per cent. upon its New York loan, and the British and French Governments are willing to pay § per cent. upon their ten ypar loan, the municipal- ty and the individual are bound to pay dearly for their banking accom- modation. : The rate of interest is a daromet- .er of the times. It tells of the gen- - 7 | eral conditions and of the general { outlook. It measures the faith { the money lenders. It marks | prosperity which comes and goes | with remarkable regularity. The | period of good times cannot be fix- ed. Tt depends upon passing events. | Men predicted the war. They felt that something had to come of the elaborate preparations which the Germans were making for conquest or defense. They referred to all this as the German menace, though deubted by some, waz in-| tensely real. | The declaration of war had hard-!| ly been made when the money mar-! { ket tightened, and it has heen tight- {ening ever sincd. There was a lull! {in this process for ma while. It seem- ed as If the fears of the peopie as to the financial effects were not to be fully realized.. That was before! the plethoric nioney bags of the war J nations became empty. With - the floating of the first great loan, th rate 'of interest, which had , been | tending downward, took a turn up- ward. Mark the effect. Province ot 'Ontario bonds have been selling to] vield 5 per cent. Province of Sas-| katochewan bends have been selling! to yield 53% per cent. City of To~ ronto and City of Ottawa debentures of the whieh, 0! have been selling to yield 53 per cent. There has been. no approach to this rate in one's. rececllection, | and without apother great war it may not be reached again. And the end is not yet. smaller municipality has not 'been heard from. It niust have money, ! not to carry on great improvements | but necessary improvements, under local laws, and calling for considerable expenditure. There is usually about 1 per.cent. of a diff- erence between the rate of interest] paid by the provincial metropol's| and a city of a twentieth or a fo-- tieth its size. Wait until the clamor | for financial relief sets in and thew! see the rate of interest soar. It has been 6 per cent. in Ontario within | a year; it may be higher soon, with| a still higher rate as one gres the! farther west and reaches the towns and cities there.

He desired to possess himself | of much wealth. So he invested of his income in enterprises of a specu- lative character, and he lost heavily. Of late he has been immersed in debt and trouble. He endured it for a time. Then; after discussing the situation with his creditors, he faced his congregation. and confessed his eryorg and indiscretion. He poured out his soul in this fashion: ! "Ofteh I have loved my - books more than the poor! I have loved position and office and honor, and sometimes 1 have thought of my own interest, when every drop of my blood and every ounce of my strength and cvery thought of my mind belonged to our schools, to the sick, to the friendless, to the poor, and to the boys and girls, with their eager and hungry minds. "Often I have taken honors when I should have chosen solitude and dwelt apart and listened to the Voice vt God and tried to be a 'true pro- thet of God to you. For several years I have had a growing ccnvie tion that a minister -has no right to make money, and does his best work without it: : "If, therefore, there is anywhere in this. wide land a noble boy: who has done me the honor to read my books or sermons, or to listen to my lectures, and who has come to cher ish a secular idea of the Christian ministry, let me say to him that 1 deplore my own influence, that my deepest thought is that .theré are home missionaries and foreign miss- ionaries -and social settlers and neighborhood visitors whose shoe latchets I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. .

Foot ball-and hockéy can take a rest. The colors of the 21st Regiment, presented in Kingston, will remain in the care of Sir George Perley in London while the men are at the front, It is well to know where these colors are.

Will he return to England? try wants him will cheerfully let him go. Anthony Comstock was not known to many outside of New York city. But in all America his name will be remembered as that of a man who was clean of heart and hand, and who spent his life in the defence of decency. Vice without him, or a competent successor, will menace the morals of New York. The war was expected to kill the churches. It was by some accept- ed as an evidence that Christianity had failed of its purpose and mission But the churches are better attended than they have been in a century. There is a larger interest in the pub- lic worship. There is a larger faith in the God of battles, and He is not the God of the German kulturist.

Sir Robert Borden ought to insist that General Hughes shall cease to talk nonsense and buckle down to work. There are great problems, awaiting solution in the Militia De- partment. Sir Sam should be on the job instead of on the rampage. | KINGSTON EVENTS 25 YEARS ACO Henry Folger purchased ' 150 thoroughbred sheep to-day, to stock his Carleton Island farm. Ten cents was the price offered on the Frontgnac Cheese Board to-day, but there were no 'sales. The Birchall murder case is now on at Woodstock and is attracting much attention. The daily reports in the Whig are eagerly looked for- ward to. io Y Sleepytime Tales THE RABBIT'S NIGHTMARE. Once upon a time a little brown rabbit lay down under a tree to have a nap. He went sound asleep and dreamed, oh such a dream. He dreamed that all the rabbits had shed their feet and new ones had grown in their places. He was se- lected to take all the old ones and go to the big fox to sell them. He didn't think much of that, but, as rabbit's feet are supposed to bring good luck he knew the fox 'would be glad to get so many all at once. * Off he started with the feet in a big bag over his shoulder and he soon came to where the fox lived. Rap-a-tap he went on the door. It was very faint at first but the next time he got more courageous and it was quite.a loud knock. Then the fox said: "Come in brother Rabbit. knew it was you, all the time." The rabbit gat down in a chair quite near the door so as to be ready to run if the fox looked cross, but he didn't, he just smiled. Some way the rabbit didn't like that smile, his mouth looked A so big and his tongue so red, and he remembered what he had heard about him and that he was cruel and deceitful. He told the fox what he had to sell and asked him if he wanted to buy the feet. The fox said yes and started for the rabbit, just as poor bunny was opening the bag to take out the feet. The fox made a grab at the rabbit but only caught hold of his little tail and that even slipped out of his cruel paw. Out flew the rabbit and the fox after him. Hound and round the house they flew until the rabbit felt his breath giving out, so he dropped the bag and, as the fox stopped to pick it up, the scared rab- bit got away and ran home as fast as he could. Then he woke up and rubbed his eyes to see if the fox was stiH chas- ing him. When he realized it was only a dream he laughed so hard that all the rabbits came running to see what was the matter and when he told them about. his dream they laughed too. The rabbit, however, said it was too real for comfort and he hoped he would never have such a dream again.
