The other delegate remarked--"This fact has also impressed me, and I have come to the conelusion that there is something lacking with our educational Systems of the Provinces of Canada when they do not fit the men and "women to take a more active part inthe government of our country. The greater part of the Canadian born in Manitoba came from Old Ontario like myself, and I know my early schooling did not fit me for citizenship." This should be a challenge to all patriotic atizens of the Do- It is a modefn error to suppose that education exists for the welfare of the individual. The money that maintains the school is contributed by the citizens generally and not merely by the parents of the children deriving the benefit, and should therefore be expended for the purposé of producing good citizens. Schools have been established for the sake of the community and the race. Even if adults have no children of their own to train, they cannot escape the responsibility of maintaifiing the institution that has for its object the training of the youth for citizenship.

Port Perry in favor of Hydro ._ Tuesday evening's Hydro meet- Ing was an unqualified success. Mr. Parker, the Hydro engineer, gave a very clear explanation of the conditions under which Port Perry can secure light and power. .One feature brought out in the discussion was that the minimum charge may be reduced by the Council to $2.00 domestic and $3.00 commercial. Another item was that supplied by Mr. Figary, who, together with Mr. Smallman, has been ving into the records of the plant. He finds that the cost of operation of our E. L. & W.-W. in 1921 was $7464.99. The revenue was $7595.00. This cost of operation does not include annual debenture, and payment and interest. The whole requir ed revenue in order to put the. local plant on a solvent basis would pe $9634.99. In the estimated revenue o 1921 no credit was given fo street lighting, no. account ap pearing on the books for thi item. Granting that the street ligh: ing charge will take care of th ference betwee. $7595.00 ar. $9634.99, the fact still remain that we are at present doir approximately a ten thousan dollar basiness for which w aave a six hour service anc pump the water for the tow . No provision is being wade f depreciation of the plant, and w dre in constant danger of find- ing that the whole affair is re; - dered useless because of son: breakage.
