He asked the audience to keep in mind a few appalling facts which constitute as many reasons for the existence of the League. 1. The great war is responsible for the slaughter of ten million virile, strong, picked men. This should raise the question whether there is not some better way of settling disputes among nations. ! 2. Out of the battlefield there came twenty million more young men who were the flower and - picked manhood of the world, broken in limb, body, mind and spirit, many of these are still with us, in our hospitals, homes and on our streets. 8. Out of that war came famine, pestilence, epi- demics and ills inmimerable, which always follow the wake of a war. Peace Conference. _ Representatives of the nations came together in Paris 1919, to see if there is any better method §| of settling international disputes than by the orthodox method of war that has been followed for the past six thousand years. That committee worked for nearly three months, and brought in a proposal which resulted in 'the Covenant of the League of Nations. At first there were only twelve nations that ratified that Covenant and offered themselves as an organization of the League of Nations: but before the year had pass- ed, forty four nations had signed the Covenant .Jand now fifty five out of a total of sixty one nations of the world have signed its articles and taken its obligations. Germany, United States, Russia, Afghanistan, Turkey and Mexico have not joined the League yet. ; This, said Sir George, is a wonderful achieve- ment. This is the most outstanding fact of the world to-day. Think, said Sir George, of fifty five nations deciding not to go to war to settle their difficulties" until they have exhausted every pos- sible method of peaceful settlement. Go back far enough in history and tradition and you come to the time when the only way of settling national or tribal disputes was by brute force. It has taken thousands of years to reach the higher plane, when the disputes between different groups within the nation and between individuals are set- tled by peaceful methods, by conference, by arbi- tration, by the laws and the courts and the | Judges that preside ih those Courts.. We have only to lift this method upto a nigher plane and settle our international disputes by the same method. Is it the outcome of commonsense that when Serbia and Austria got into a dispute about a bit of territory in the Balkans, that in order to settle that dispute, the whole world, in the end, should be brought to a state of war, and 10,000,- 000 men slaughtered, and 20,000,000 men made casualties? Was not that absurd? And is it of Nations and the Public ~~ Schools The Rt. Honorable Sir George E. Foster, G.C.M.G. (reprinted from the Canadian School Board. Journal) not possible that humanity has come to the point in nationhood to settle its disputes by peaceful means, and that humanity is able if it wishes, to come to the same method of settling its disputes in international matters? Faith in the League of Nations Bringing thé matter home to Canadians, Sir George referred to the $2,500,000,000 public debt in Canada of which amount $2,000,000,000 is chargeable to the war. Then we lost 60,000 of our people. Do we want a repetition of this? asked Sir George. The destructive enginry of war which will be available for the next war is infinitely greater and more deadly. Besides if we have another war, it will not be carried on by the clash of armies on some battlefield. Modern weapons of warfare -are available for striking a deadly blow at the heart of the nation, in city, |' town, hamlet and peaceful rural settlements. The Profit Lies . - . in the Finish T PAYS to market cattle with the proper degree of finish. A quality product always commands a premium and is readily saleable at a profitable price, If you have stock which needs a little more time for finishing, and the feed is scarce, see the local -manager of the Standard Bank. It is a simple matter to ar- range a loan to carry the stock until a favorable market warrants a pro- fitable sale. STANDARD BANK dite EE Present civilization will be destroyed. Such a catastrophe can be avoided only by men and women in every country standing at the back of the League of Nations and declaring for an earnest, honest, development of sentiment against the idea of war and in-favour of a peacemaking League. Sir George -Foster described briefly the con- stitution of the Council of the League and the Assembly and then pleaded with the large au- dience to bring the achievement of the League before the youth of the nation through the public schools. "Let these children know" said the speaker "what the four years of war have im- posed on humanity ; let them see that another war would be a thousand times worse, and then give them a chance to weigh.thé two and see which they will vote for. Give authority to sanction the telling of the existence, aims, and methods of the League in the schools. The teachers will be glad to take the matter up." Mr. George Anson Aylesworth, of Newburgh, moved a vote of thanks to Rt. Hon. Sir George E. Foster. The motion was seconded in séveral places and carried by a standing vote and loud and continued applause. .Sir George responded. by suggesting that many of those present join the League and thus be in receipt of the monthly publications. At this moment the President observed Mrs. R. B. Thomas, Secretary of the Toronto Branch of the League in the audience and asked her to explain the conditions of membership. Mrs. Thomas in a few brief remarks explained the different grades of membership in any branch of the League of Nations, pointing out that for the sum of $1.00, a person may receive the monthly Bulletin of the League of Nations, and thus keep in touch with the progress of this great movement. There was a gratifying response to her appeal, and it is hoped that those who had the privilege of hearing Mr. Foster will carry the influence of his impres- sive 'address home to their respective commun- ities. t e t C t vs NOTICE TO CREDITORS ; mankind. to Christ.

Government regulations regarding the but--we have to be content with will give for the type of school PORT PERRY BRANCH--H. G. Hutcheson, Manager J Branches also at Blackstock, Little Britain; Nestleton Station, Sunderland J T, Na Composite High and Public School at Brighton. A delegation of school trustees visited Brighton on Thursday see the combined High School and Public School This type of school is not approved by the Department of Rdacarion; but has been permitted, and has some advantages to offer. It should be distinctly understood that while there are many building of schools, yet We can do as we like, the grants which the Government or schools erected. * The whole matter becomes a question in arithmetic. For here is no compulsion about the matter, instance if it costs an extra $5,000 to secure a grant that in ten years will net $2,000 the n it would like poor policy to spend the xtra money, unless that for which the $5,000 is spent is essential o the efficiency of the school. If on the other hand the invest- ment-is made up in grants and is essential to the welfare of the hildren, then the money should be spent. It is this problem of erecting a school for the most reason- able sum posible and at the same time conforming with the de- mands of the Department of Education sufficiently well to be able o earn the largest possible annual grants. Not only are the im- mediate Government grants to be, considered but the efficiency and attractiveness of thé school must be kept in mind. A good High School with an efficient teaching staff will at- ract county pupils, every one of whom is paid for by the County ® _ persons 'uf. Whose claim © IE .

Port Perry, Ont. rrr YY erie, INDUCTION SERVICES On Friday evening of last week an interesting ceremony was conducted | at the Church of the Ascension, Port _ Perry, when Rev. S. C. Jarrett, was _inducted as Rector of the Church. A ve a small amount for investment, call | large congregation was present to witness the ceremony; and to take ~ part in the reception which followed. - The preacher was Rev. Dr. Seager, vost 'and Vice Chancellor of urged Canadians to look at matters 'internationally; to catch the spirit of the League of Nations, the Lacarno pact, the Treaty of Versailles, and every other agreement which recog- nized the principle of world unity. In this addréss and in the later one at the réception, Dr. Seager lifted the mission of the Church from any petti- ness and inspired his hearers with the vision which Christ gave when he said "Our Father." The induction ceremony was con- ducted by Venerable Archdeacon Davidson, of Peterboro. The Mandate was read by the Rural Dean, Rev. Mr. Clark of Scarboro Bluffs, and Rev. Mr. Taylor of Uxbridge read the license. The visiting clergy were the Revs. Messrs. Wright and Langford of Whitby, and Rev. Mr, Robinson, of Markham. Letters were received | from Rev. Mr. Allen, of Brampton; Rev. C.- P. Muirhead, of Willowdale; } Rev. Mr. Noble of Thornhill; and Rev. Mr. Fletcher, of Whitby. - 'The Reception was held in the | Parish - Hall; the ladies having pre- pared refreshments and suitably de- corated the hall. Brief addresses of welcome were made by the Rector, Rev. 8S. C. Jarrett, Mr. H. G. Hutche- son, and Major R. Smith. Mr, Jarrett has been very success- ful in his work both in Port Perry and Brooklin and the future holds promise of fuller development of the Christian work under his leadership.

MacGregor's slaughter house, John Dowson received very painful burns on his face. He in company with Merlin Hooey, were rendering fat. The pot overheated, and when the lid was raised to put in water, the mass blazed up. The result was dis- astrous. The flames spread and in the fight to save things Dowson's face was burned, but fortunately the burns are not deep. Merlin made record time on a trip to town, se- and returned in time to put out the 'fire. The boys did well to save the pro- perty. We hope John soon recovers from his painful injuries. - * * * Dowson family is out of luck," for on the same day when John was burned, David's pony stumbled and in the fall 'of its rider.

This being the case we should make our school of such a character that the largest number of County pupils can be secured. Every County pupil will be a means of helping to pay off the capital cost. Because of this condition every effort should be made to have the new school erected at the earliest possible date, so that there will be no tendency for County pupils to leave Port Perry and attend High School in neighboring towns. Loss of County pupils will be a real loss of mohey to Port Perry. The Board of Education realize this fact and is making all possible speed, consistent with good sense. There is necessarily a great mass of detail to be considered, and even after the Board and the teaching staff have been satisfied, the Department of Education at Tdronto have to give their assent. Then the money hy-law..must be submitted to the Council and can be passed by that body, or may be submitted to the property holders and their wives for approval. ' From time to time as the matter progresses the public will be informed ; but at present in spite of much negotiation there is nothing really definite decided upon.
