Sliter And J. M. Root Give Addresses on Boys' Work. The Kingston Rotary Club will give its support to the Big Brother Movement. A resolution to this ef- fect was passed at the club's noon- day luncheon on Friday, in the British-American hotel. The plan of work is that each member of the club will take under his charge a boy who is in need of a big broth- er, and give him all the assistance possible to make his way In the world. Friday's luncheon was given over to the boys' work committee, and the members had the privilege of listening to two splendid addresses along the line of work in keeping with this committee. The speakers were Mr. E. O. Sifter, principal of the Kingston Collegiate Institute, and Mr. J. M. Root, principal of the Model School. Rotarian H. E. Pense presided at the luncheon, and the first speaker was Mr. Root, who was introduced by. Rotarian A. D.

"DONT LET THIS BE YOUR EXPERIENCE. Consult us in time. able address, in which he referred to the great need for more educa- tion, pointing out that many child- ren had the desire to give up their studies. He said that it had been estimated that it casts $2,000 to raise a boy and give him a common school education. At this rate there must be some millions of dollars expended and there was one thing certain, and that was that the city bad the material. The boys' work committee of the club could do a great deal in helping the boys and girls, and the speaker felt that the sympathy of the public was also needed in this most important un- dertaking. y Great Business Proposition. "One of the greatest business propositions is that of turning out! good men and women", said Mr. Root, "and there is need for every man to do his part to help the boys and girls." Speaking on the conditions in general in Ontario, Mr. Root stated that there are serious problem. to face. The problem is so great that it has taken up the time and the best energy of some of the best men who have lived in the presnt time as well as the past. The speaker dwelt on a most im- portant point in regard to the life of a boy or girl--that of environ- ment, and declared that in dealing leon, and in addition to the fine ad- with the matter there had been 'too much talk and so little done" The sg Speaker proceeded, in a ers) interesting manner, to deal with the education of the boy or girl under | the headings of the home, the school and the street. He spoke of the poor homes and the better homes, and statéd that every child entering the school for the first time carried six years of home life into the school. ® The speaker emphasized the great need for play for the children. It was often the case that there was not suffictent accommodation for play, and as a result the children were not given a proper chance. There should be ample playgrounds at every school, and if such was not the case, the necessary accommo- dation should 'be provided for else- where. Then again, the children should have ample to play with; they should be provided with all the necessary things to play. The speak- er advocated suitable places for games for the children, Including civic rinks. "Give the children something to do", added Mr. Root, "it is work that they need. They also need leadership. You know that some- times they get more education on the street than they do in the schools. The speaker very strong- ly endorsed special classes for sub- normal children. Responsibility of Teacher. In a most inspiring address, Principal Sliter dealt with the re- sponsibility of the teacher. Mr. Sliter pointed out that the teacher was but one cog in the wheel, and that he must have the home, the press, and the entire community, working with him. '"Then if wa are working on the right line, and the right ideals", added the speaker, "we will get wheré we should get". Principal Sliter remarked that children had to get their education some place; if they did not get it in 'schobl they would secure it on the street or some other place. "And 13 1s up to us as citizens and parents to see that they get what we want them to get", added the speaker. "It does not matter so much what they teach so long as they are headed the right way. The curriculum and methods aie but sec- ondary. The ideals are the whole thing. Get your ideals clear on the question of education and stand dy wrong methods of teaching. There was urgent need for Worthy teach- | damaged their grain. It is said that important part in the education of the boys and girls, and every effort should be made to see that the pub- lic. schools are aM right. "If the public schools are all right, the high schools will be all right," add- ed the speaker, Rotarian H. E Pense tendered a vote of thanks to Messrs. Root and Sliter, for their address and the members of the club showed their appreciation with most enthusiastic applause. Passed Resolution. Rotarian Harry Breathwaite re- ferred to the splendid addresses and stated that it was quite evident that there was a "man's job" for every member of the club. 'There is one thing we can all give to this import- ant work," he added, "and that is our personality.' Rotarian Breathwaite then moved the resolution endorsing the Big Brother Movement, which was ad- opted, after it had been seconded by Rotarian Roy Ward. Rotarian Dr. H. E. Day said the members of the club should feel their responsibility in the work among the boys and should also take an active interest in public affairs. Rotarian J. W. Litton said the helping of others was the greatest work to be accomplished in Rotary, | and he was ready to do his part. Rotarian Leman A. Guild paid a warm tribute to the speakers of the day and remarked that there was a great work to he done. During the luncheon Rotarian | Guild introduced Mr. Franklin L.| Campbell, who is in the city to make | a survey for the Hockenbury System, { Incorporated, for the proposed new hotel. Mr. Campbell addressed the club briefly, pointing out the methods to be used in making the survey and also passed around a list of ques- tions for th¢ members to answer, | which woud provide him with use- information in the carrying out of his survey. The club had an exceptionally good attendance at Friday's lunch-! dresses, the members had a "'Sing- Song" that calls for special men- tion. It was indeed a treat to hear the members render the various | numbers in the Rotary Song Book. | Rotarians "Jack" Litton a Harry Breathwaite, by special re- quest, sang "The Isle of Man" and | put it over in great style. Guests | at the luncheon included "Jack" | Derry, J. W. Geabold, Franklin L.! Campbell, Dr. P. G. C. Campbell and | W. J. C. Allen. i HIS JAW FRACTURED | BY A PITCHED BALL | Accident Occurs to Maribank | Player in Game With | Tamworth Team.

The result has been that the frequent rains have in the far west it is fairly safe to do stooking on a large scale, but here the rains at this time are more frequent.

AIA APN A Ht PAIL HUMOR AND MERCY, ARE LIKEWISE USED -- By Justice Lennox Who Is A Very Entertaining Jurist on Bench. Justice Lennox is a presiding judge who proves that humor as well as mercy can season jistice. The fre- quent ripple of laughter that went round the court room at the assizes here this week could wel be ex- cused. THe first case was a suit for damages arising out of an automo- bile collision on the highway near the city. The plaintiff had just been married and his counsel was ques- tioning him about the contents of his car. He had shown that it con- tained his bride, his mother-in-law and a collection of wedding pres- ents from silverware to preserves. "Everything that was valuable," commented His Lordship. Counsel asked the plaintiff what the garage did for his car when he took it to them after the accident. "No man could tell," was the sly dig which the judge, who drives a Ford, gave the garagemen. _ The plaintiff's witnesses main- tained throughout that their car was travelling at 22 miles an hour. The case took a day and a half and His Lordship made reference to its slowness several times, once re- marking, "Well, we're not travelling 22 miles an hour this morning." There was much amusement over a claim by the plaintiff that the de- fendant tried to kiss lis bride's mother after the accident. Later | have the plaintiff's lawyer was question- ing his client regarding the state of mind of the defendant after the ac- cident. "Was the defendant frantie?" he ed "Didn't he try to kiss the mother- in-law?" was His Lordship's re- mark that brought a call for order from the sheriff. Kingston's Fine Patronage. 'The people of the city of Kingston splendidly at the fair, proportion, the outside at- tendance has been small. It was city crowds that filled the grand stands at night. Many farmers did not come to the fair at all owing to the fine weather. They were behind in their harvesting and took advantage of the bright, warm weather to work all week.

Hamilton, Sept. 17.-- (To the Edi- tor): The Dominion Bureau of Sta- tistics for the year ending July, 1924, show Canada's exports to have been $1,079,048,297, and our im- porfs to have been $228,546,284 less, "which is a wonderful showing, rever equalled in our history, for with, only slight exception, ofir bal- ance of trade has always bcen the other way about. Having attained this idea! which Canada has been struggling for ever since Confederation, one would have thought we would he revelling in good times and budy employment, instead of facing the most serious unemployment conditions we have known-in recent years. In analysing we find our exports of forest products, such as lum' logs, pulp-wood, ete., to have n $118,544,000, an increase of $38,- 000,000. Our grain and grain products to- tal $400,013,000, an increase ex- port of $40,000,000 over last year. Our export of metals amounted to $134,143,000, which is double our average. And so on with the most of our natural products. | So it seems the greater our ex- ports of these products, the 'ess em- ployment we have at home, which brings us face to face with the Is- sue, of requiring our matural pro- duets to be converted into finished merchandise, before leavicg this country, thereby distributing half a billion dollars in labor, etc., in our own. country before export is per- mitted, or impose an export duty equivalint to that sum to provide for unemployment if we prefer that vay of doing it. Why not face the issue squarely, and impose an embargo against the export of our natural products until Canadian labor has converted them into finished products. Or impose an export duty on same, equivalent to the employment results if we pre- fer idleness and relief to sound em- ployment and the up-building' of our industrial opportunities, and making Canada and her people what they ought to be, the most prosperous and contented country on earth.
