Then it was ankles, and when ankles pall. ed it was legs, and finally knees. Knees have gone out, and for a while it looked as if we were for once to have a costume to which the squeamish could not object. But the fashion makers, who must be in league with the wnmoral forces of the world, did not stay moral long. They have found a new "| way to shock the world, and they propose to put it into effect at onco, It isn't legs and it isn't shoulders which are to be exposed to the gaze of a breathless world, but--horror of horrors--ears! This is the ultimate, box-score limit. Or .at least we thought it wes until we read the next line. The next line says that the lobe of the naked ear will be colored a delicate pink. What is rouging of the knee compared to this brazen suggestion? If the forces of righteousness In this country have the vigor they ought to have, they will nip this ou:- rageous suggestion in the bud. We stood for knees, but surely we shail not have to stand for ears! TRUTH NEVER GROWS STALE 'Never be afraid," said Gl stone, 'to tell people what t al- ready know." Those who liave suc- ceeded In positions of leadership will accede to the little recogniZed fact that the highest truths will always bear unlimited telling. There are times when men with a talent genuine but unrecognized modestly refrain from speech under the impression that it night be termed "cant." They fail to realize that, in the first place, truth never grows stale, and, in the second place, that the medium througn which it is told, men's personalities, is never twice the same. The beau- ty of truth lies in iis recurring freshness. Repetition is a necessity, not a pitfall. If the theme upon which a man bases his teachings grows wearisome to himself or to those who hear him, then 'the pro- babfilities are that he has descended trivialities,. The basic truths, in- stead of growing stale, have the fa- culty of constantly opening new avenues of thought and reflection to those who consider them. Gladstone was an ardent exponent of this saying. His principles were simple, but a lifetime was not long enough for him to exhaust his exposition of them. That he was the greatest statesman of his time is ample testimony of the correct- ness of his policy. WEEK DAY RELIGIOUS INSTRUC- TIONS, There is a growing feeling every. where in Canada that something should be dane to instruct the chil- dren of the Public schools in Bible knowledge. It is generally admitted that the home and the church have' not performed this duty satisfactor- {ly and that something more, in the way of dally instruction, is desirea by the vast majority of the people in Ontario. With the Roman Catholic children thete is no difficulty in the matter of religious i on. The Separate schools are church schools, snd religious instruction forms par: of the dally curriculum. In the Pab- Hie school the problem is more com- plex and difficult. The Protestant denominations are not agreed to tha introduction of Bible study as part of the Public school studies, nor are they agreed that PubMe sehool tea- chers are in all respects properly equipped for this task. Besides, it is by no means certain that it would be easy to get legislation which would make this possible, even 'if it were desired. . But they are agreed on some | things. The Religious Bducation| '| Counell of Canada, representative of' all Protestant denominations, Jhave issued a statement which hag the unanimous endorsement of all the for religious instruction, and the parent has a right to ask that time shall be set apart for the religious | instruction of his child, during ths BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY A SAFE RETREAT:--De thou my strong -habitaticn, whereunto { may continually resort, {thou hast glven commandments to {my fortress.--Psalm 71: 8. BLUNDERS hours commonly devoted to educ2- | tional purposes. In support of thesa | principles, the council believes that ! it is primarily the responsibility cf | ous education of the young and that a system of instruction under church auspices should fofm part of 'he dally etudies of the Public school. How 1s this to be done? It !3 suggested that in any school district with the unanimous consent of the school board the Public school building might be used; otherwliss eome suitable building adjacent to the school should be acquired. The curriculum suggested is grad- ed Bible lessons to meet the needs of the various school ages. A dally programme Is suggested to cover forty-five minutes, which includes instruction in worship, the memori- zation of suitable hymns and pass- | ages of scripture, a drill period in which to learn new songs dnd new Bible passages, a lesson periol for definite . teaching and a few minutes for what is called expres- sional activities. It is urged that the whole lipstruction be in the hands of those who are competent both spiritually and intellectually to impart it effectively. It is argued in support of the scheme that no new law would be required, that provision has already been made for such Instruction in the school law of Ontario. Ths scheme is ambiticus, and we judge will meet with little opposition. What we fear, however, is that it may fall into hands too weak to make it effective and that to make it effective would require expert teach- ers specially equipped and peid to do this most necessary work. Before this can be accomplished. it will re- quire an intensive educational cam- paign on the part of the churches themselves. JEDUCATION IN MONEY TERMS, The late Dr. Lyman Abbett once told of the unusual way by which he came to attend college. His father, instead of letting the boy's going be [taken as a matter of course, put it up to him as a real issue. Lyman was given the choice of the cost of a college education plus the inter- est accrued at the end of four years, or the course itself. It was suggested that the boy might go into business with the money; but the relative advantages and difficulties of a professional career and of a business career were also mentigped. The boy asked for advice. He recelved none, but was told to think it over for two. or three days and decide for himaelf. At the end of that time, Lyman went to his father with his decision to take an education. The elder Mr. Abbott replied: "I am very glad. I think itis an excellent plan for a boy to go to college, but a very poor plan for a boy 'to be sent." If more boys were sent to school under such circumstances, there would probably be less enthusiasm than exists at present in missing classes, lectures and the like. "Throughout my college days I realised that I was spending my own good money for my education, and I determined to get my money's worth," said Abbott. The matter was viewed in the light of a business proposition, and the college educe- tion ° rose proportionately in the boy's esteem.
