The scientific researches of mod- ern years have served to confirm the | opinion held by physicians for cen- i turies that rest is a great healer of disease: During sleep the I che the body recuperate from th€ che-| mical changes that have been going on during work 'or activity. | The person who has lost sleep sp- | pears haggard and worn and actually | suffers a loss of weight, representing | the actual wear and tear upon the! body. An did proverb said, concerning sleep, "Six hours for a man, seven! for a woman, an@ eight for a fool." | "According to Dr. Max Seham, thed need for sleep in various people | varies, and is modified in the same person by his age, tempérament and the climate, Girls, especially during growth, require more sleep than boys. People are likely to sleep longer in winter than in summer. An in-| vestigation of the health habits of 500 healthful children indicated that & child six "to eight years of age should sleep 12 hequrs; eight to 10 years, 11 1-2 hours; 10 to 11 years, 11 hours; 11 to 12 years, 10 1-2 hours; 12 to 13, 10 hours, and 13-to 15 years, 9 1-2 hours. Grown persons vary in the amouny of sleép for re- covery from fatigue. A successful man is not one who spends his time ir sleep, but it is a dangerous doctrine to apply this at- titude to the growing child, since re- search hat shown that insuffic'ent sleep and sleep of inadequate quality are responsible for mors absences from and failures in school than are other factors. . "The ate Presiden; Eliot, of Har- vard was supposed by many to be al- most, wholly occupied with problems of higher learning, but how keen his interesg in character development in the public schools was may be gath- ered from the following from his pen: ~ Student self-government or stu- dent participation in school or col- lege government conforms to three of the most fundamental principles o! education----principles too often] neglected, even by persons whose lives are devoted to educational ser- The first of these fundamental is that the real object in education, so far as the developmen; of character is concerned, fs to culti- vate in the child a capacity for self- control or self-government, not a ha- hit of submission to an overwhelm- .+ arbitrary, external power but a 'of obeying the dictates of hon- or and duty 'as enforced by active wil power within he child, second fundamental principle, to which properly conducted self- government seems to me to conform, As that in childhood and in youth ft is of the mont importance to ap- peal steadily, and. almost exclusive- ly, to motives Which will be opera- tive in AEter Me.

"The settled conception in the British mentality is that the inter- est of Great Britain, venerable an- cestor, the eye of the Empire, should be thé supreme objective, the first consideration of the Imperial con- eeption;"and that it ought to domin- ate everything else. The concep- tion of the Dominions, at all events that of Canada, is that; in the enjoy- ment of responsible Government, the | interest of our own country ought to be the first and dominating consid- eration. Every decision ought above everything else to take into accoun; the national point of view. 'Egoism, Say certain Britons.

Le Canada anticipates the necés- sity of resoriing to elevated rail- way lines in Montreal.

The tramways com- pany has aiready mgde an effort to. remedy the existing condition - of things by establishing a series of autobus services. But it is evident this will not permanently relieve the congestion.
