6 BRITISH WHIG YEAR. "ND and Semi-weekly by WHIG PUBLISHING LIMITED, KINGSTON, ONT. PA . Editor a Managing-Direet, a A. Gull # TELEPHONE Office . CANADA DOES WELL, The Canadian dollar at a premium in New York is a thing of cheering significance. In November of last year the same situation arose, be- cause of purely financial operations which had the effect of creating a favorable ba'ance for us in the inter- national clearing house. In this in- stance, however, the higher value of our currency has been due to trade conditions. The United States has been buying more from us than here- tofore. For the twelve months ended June 30th, it is estimated that our exports to the American republic exceeded a billion dollars, or $16,- 000,000 more than for the preced- ing year. That should be a matter for deep satisfaction. American bankers interested in the buying and selling of Canadian exchange recognize two other fac- tors in our favor. One is the splen- a! did condition of our grain crop, and the other is the rapidly increasing | demand for Canadian dollars by | tourists. This latter has but recent- ly come into the equation. | thousands of cars are crossing the TE -- Tens 0 THE DAILY BRIT like the United States, eating up| | that balance by paying invisible ex- change. We pay some exchange of that nature; but, happly, ninety per cent of our war debt Interest goes to our own people. They took Do- | minion bonds to the extent of nearly [two billions during the war years, land in so doing made it perfectly clear that for all time to come we shall not need to do any financing abroad. That was a tremendously important discovery. It revealed another of the - invisible factors which.are operating in our national life--our growing domestic wealth |in the hands of the common people. | | 1 | | DR. ELIOT ON COLLEGES. | It will be universally conceded | [that the long 'experience of Charles W. Eliot, President Emeri- | tus of Harvard University, qualifies | him to speak authoritatively about the relationship of a college training | to success in life. He has a thought- ful article in the last issue of Col- lier's, which he sums up as follows: "The experience of all fairly | Dr.|, Quantity is increased but usually | at the expense of quality." In short, Dr. Rusby has nothing good to say about alcohol. Yet an- thorities, as has just been said, are far .apart on the subject. Not long ago a professor of Johns Hopkins University announced that his in-| vestigation of 4,000 cases had war- | ranted the judgment that alcohol, used in moderation, lengthened life; and immediately thereafter the Met- | ropolitan Life Insurance Company! issued a carefully prepared state- | ment, based on the records of sev- eral large insurance organizations, which was directly to the contrary. Between these conflicting opinions ! the course of safety would seem to be plainly indicated. French-Canadian Press Comment Sg T . Standardized Teaching.

Dr. Eliot realizes, however, that it is impracticable for many young men to take a university course. | Lack of means, or domestic consider- -ations, may stand in the way. He | therefore has something to say about the modern high school. He em- phiasizes the improvement which has | occurred during the past twenty | years in schools, of that class, and | gives it as his judgment that a boy | or girl who has taken full advantage | of the training to be had from such | | institutions will be fairly equipped. | The same thing could be said of our | Collegiate Institutes and other ad-| vanced schools in Canada. They are giving their pupils a broad educa- tion up to a certain point. At that point the university comes in. Noth- ing can take its place. THE ALCOHOL ARGUMENT. Scientists cannot agree about alcohol.

THE INVISIBLE FACTORS. One must look below the surface before taking trade figures as the final proof of national prosperity. For fully a century Great Britain has imported more than she export- ed; yet under precisely those con- ditions, which seemed so adverse, she grew op@ilent and strong. The United States, on the other hand, has for many years had a favorable balance of trade, in the sense that exports have exceeded imports. is the fact. The reason is that a| | child above the average to-day is! | sacrificed for the loafer, the back- ward and the indolent. Markets for Farmers. i Le Soleil (Quebec): Hitherto our | farming population, scattered over | an immense territory, was in many | ways too far distant {rom the great | centres of population to be guaran- | teed stable and remunerative mar- kets; but the multiplication of in- | dustries will inevitably result in the | growth of new urban centres in| which the farmers will find advant- ageous markets at their very doors. | | The British Flag. L'Bvenement (Quebec): The prov- | ince of Quebgc has no quarrel with | the actual status of the country. Its | particular rights and privileges are | by the Union Jack than they would be by a Canadian | constitution. In more than one in- | stance we have been refused justice | by the Canadian authorities, and re- | course to an Imperial tribunal has | redressed our wrongs. The French- | Canadian nationality has had more than one occasion to serve the Brit- ish flag. It will probably have no | reason to regret that that flag will | not at present be changed. -- English and French. Le Droit (Ottawa): One can never | make a gpod English-Canadian out | of a French-Canadian, or a good French-Canadian out of an English- Canadian. The phenomenon describ- ed in physics as endosmosis and exos- mosis is not a fitting experiment with peoples called to inhabit the same country.

The secret of our power should encourage competition be- tween Latin genius and Anglo-Saxon | genius, working for the same ends; | though on different lines, than that | | we should weaken the energies of | each by transplantations which are always unsatisfactory. By James W, Barton, M.D. The New Nurse. Some folks have complained, and perhaps not without reason, that some of our graduate nurses are so well trained in the hospital, that t are helpless when they get out into the home of the sick patient. That they need so much "waiting | on" themselves that they keep the household, including the patient, in a "flustered" condition all the time they are there, Now although the "safety" of the patient is of first importance, all these other details may have a bear- ing on the outcome of the case. It is for this reason that the "practi- cal" nurse is often engaged by the family, and even by the physician | ------------ | ily and patient as never before, be-| | curious, but when we are alone in|vear {the woods, we too become as they | Black--who was afterwards knight- IBBY'S WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 1925, -- y THE MEN'S AND YOUNG MEN'S SUIT STORE CLEARING SALE il <= OtFine Quality Suits All High Grade Tailoring Fabrics are fine quality English Tweeds, fancy Worsteds and Cheviots, Scarcely two suits alike in this lot--about 200 Suits to choose from, Ranging in price $35.00, $37.50 regularly.
