His act reflects essential greatness. He is =e~vi denoly a man of SCSISC. and dismant- ment in religious affairs, courage and candor as a man among men. of generous impulses, kindly disp09ition and discriminating mind, a..credit to his time and an honor to his town. Yours truly It would be acredit to any man born in Ireland, whether Catholic or Protestant, to march in a processibn in honor of St. Patrick on the 17th of March. That is a peculiarly gen- erous tribute to the honor of a gi'eat man and a great Christian mission- ary, one of' the greatest of all time. Shame upon our religious teachers that they should give us a prejudiced. View of Patrick, to whom all that is 'best in Protestantism was most dear. Out upon the hoary irreli- gious lie, fostered by Protestant and Catholic churches and bishops alike, that to hate and traduce the one was to serve and exalt the other. 1 The celebration of the victory at the Boyne, at this late day, can hardly be called generous. It is purely po- litical, whereas the 17th of March is essentially religious. When a child I was delighted with the big drum. the Orange flag, the regalia, etc., on the 12th of July, but I have put away childish things, and am grieved. to reflect that my pleasure was a pain to the little Catholic boy I played with, or to dear, honest, old Jerry Twomey, the village black- smith, whom every man loved. “What fools these mortals be !"' and a sense of heroism. 'It is not the Catholic in Mr. Mallon that de- nounces Guy Fawkes, it is the native; manliness and moral courage. which so few can see the need of today, and these qualities rise above loyalty to sectarian differences as far as heaven is above earth. Editor the Watchman-Warden Sir, â€"The greatest act I have seen chronicled in \our paper in many a day was that of Mr. Mallon in ap- pearing at an Orange celebration to applaud what in that organization is prompted by patriotism, justice, used to the roads of time. And the woman with the hard face and the brusque voice, she is a cfifierentheing when she lay aside her shell of mat- ‘terâ€"of-factness and revels in the love and. friendship or her own child or somebody else’s. What a. stale cold world this would be without the lit- tle children, and their wise eyes, their merry voices, their capers. ,and their young enthusiasm! vuv Uvuv v â€" . Provincial Inspector of Manual Training, reports that in the town of Cobourg a large class of public school teachers is conducted every Saturday by G. W. Mitchell, M.A., principal of the Collegiate Institute. Every teacher attending the claSS, which consists of 35 members, is most enthusiastic, some of them driving a distance of 12 miles. The public spirit of Mr. Mitchell, who not only conducts rhe class but also pro- vides the necessary tools and materâ€" ial, is worthy of all honor. In the town of Brockville a course simi,ar to that outlined in the new curriculum has been in successful opâ€" eration for more than 12 months. It consists of needlework, cardboard modelling, and clay modelling. In one class the girls are coâ€"operating in the making of a cover-lid to be presented to the hospital. Every child attending the public schools re- ceives at least two hours training in these subjects every week. Brockville deserves recognition as the pimeer town of the province to introduce a complete and wellâ€"organized course of manual training from the kinder- garten ‘ through the whole of the boy’s or girl’s public school life, and the Inspector, Mr. J. Connolly, to whom its introduction is maimly due, is being congratulated on the re- sults of his'labors. The work is un- dertaken by the grade teachers, and the results they have achieved go to show that it is entirely within their powers and capacity when undertak- en on right lines and after adequate preparation.
