McLennan, a native of Ingersoll, Ontanlo, and a member of the teaching staff of Toronto Univer- has made two rather strong | charges against his own home prov- | tnee. In an address made a few days | sity, | doesn't a lamb's skin get awful tight! are ud . | 8 {ago, he said that the people of On when the poor thing is caught in the| | tario have little romance in their lives and have never felt that true love of the soil which must exist to make patriotism real. That was charge number one. The second as- tounding statement which he made was that the above sad state of affairs was due to the lack of scenery cap- able of stirring the imagination. Statements like sor McLennan has 'been living throughout the years of his life. Liv- ing in Toronto as he has been doing recently, he must surely be impressed with the intense patriotdsm of the people of that city, He could be for- given, of course, if he has Mved there for somie time, for having said that there oh Ontario no.ecenery cap- able of stirring the imagination, for in the big cities, like Toronto, 'here is little in the way of beautiful scenery. But to both his charges there are complete answers, answers which will show the great unfairness of them, and the grave reflection which they place on his native prev- ince and its people. § One need not go very far back in history to prove that the patriotism of the people of Ontarjo is very real. Apart altogether from the fact that the province was originally peopled largely by Britishers who were so in- tensely loyal that they left their homes in the United States rather than Mve under i foreign flag, and were known as the United Empire Loyalists, it is only necessary to point to the magnificent record of Ontario during the recent great war to prove that its patriotism is of the real kind. It may no" be of the flag-waving var- daty, but it is of the kind which ex- presses jteelf in sacrifice for the Em- pire of .which it forms an integral part, .No province in the whole Do: minjon gave so laviehly of its men during the war, The dozens of regi- ments which wen overseas from this province were made up of men who were patriots in the truest sense of the word, men whose patriotism im- pelled them to leave their happy homes and their loved ones to cross the ocean and to face on the battle fleld the most unprincipled enemy any army has ever had to face, Yet these men went willingly, impelled by a patriotism which was made known to the world by their sterling deeds of heroiem on the batslefield. And the women who were left at home were no less heroic in their patriotism. With brave, smiling eyes, they sent their husbands, their sons and: their sweethearts off to the bat- tle, because they were sufficiently patriotic to believe. that the Empire needed them, and it was their duty and privilege {0 go. In money, too, the patriotism wes shown, for every call made was met by a generosity which astounded even the most hope- ful. Ontario has never had so ua- founded a charge flung at her as the charge that her patriotism wes not real, and it is p charge which will be met with resentment all over-the The statement that Opn'ari> has®o Scenery to stir the imagization can only come from a man who does not kriow his own province. Apparently Professor McLennan has never visit- during the | | 8 sad outlook, indeed, for the futura these make the | casual reader wonder where Profes- | | We wed {ed Kingston and made tha* wonderful! |of water pouring over "he falls. If he had ever seen these two distinec- tive pieces of wonderful scenery, he would be stirred to the very depths of his imagination, providing that he | had any. And apparently - he has never visited the Muskoka Lakes, the Kawartha Lakes, the Georgian Bay THE GOOD SHEPHERD: | --The Lord is my 'sheph- jerd; I shall not want.

Some men go through life with their eye§ closed to what is to be seen around them, for, of a truth, there are none so blind as those who | will not see. We would like to place Prof. McLennan in that class, but from the statements made<in his ad- dress a few days ago, he is trying uard to qualify for it. in Lae ALONG LIFE'S DETOUR BY SAM HILL 5 tt "Der Tag." | Although the Turk in Europe | .Not get it in the neck | You bet the turk in old America |.
