CANADA WILL SHOW THEM 'HOW Ottawa, Jan. 12. When Canada celebrates the Diamond Jubilee of Confederation on July 1st next the whole world will stop, logk and listen, Premier King announces tonight that he had established an Interdepart- mental Committee to make prelimin- ary arrangements for a fitting cele- bration of the Dominion's sixtieth birthday. "Later on the Prime Minister hopes to organize a great national commit- tee along the lines of thé body which administered the Patriotic Fund dur- ing the war, so that all elements of the country may be represented in the working out of details of the pro- gram. Perhaps there will be a great pageant depicting the development of Canada from the days of the bold French adventurers who landed on the shores of the St. Lawrence in the sixteenth century, but more particu- larly will be depicted the days since 1867, when Canadian statesmen of both parties joined hands to establish the new Dominion. The Prince of Wales and Premier Baldwin will be in Ottawa for the celebration, unless unforeseen circum- stances prevent them, said Premier King. ---- i r-- INDIA NOW A CUSTOMER OF OSHAWA The Williams Piano Co, have just received an order from Calcutta.

I strange | country. on Education recent mbes the Dearborn Independent. It directly upon the subject of education considered as self-development Speaking of the man who is schooled but not truly. educated, this extract says: "He is called an educated man hé is supposed to have been trained to fill a productive place in the World; yet when he goes upon the sea, every illiterate sailor lad is his superior; when he - | goes into the forest, the untaught Indian or guide is a learned! sage in comparison; when he goes upon a farm, the tiller of the soil dwarfs him with his wide range of knowledge concerning heaven, and the three kingdoms of earth; when he goes into industry he finds himself ignorant of the oldest knowledge of man- kind; his education has turned him loose with everything yet to farm? and, in too many cases, lacking the knowledge how to earn." That paragraph is ceasing to describe the average student of the larger centres to- -day. There the hand and the mind are both being trained, and it is amazing what is being taught in the modern vocational "school. A couple of years ago the writer was in Buffalo and saw all vocational schools of that city. Some of those schools were verit- able palaces of learning and were fitted with the latest equipment of modern industry' in many lines. In one of these schools they had a room large enough to hold a fair sized house. In that room the students actually build the house; put in the plumbing, wire it for electric power, pgint it and decorate it. And when the house is completed it is torn down again, so that future students may build other houses. In that school they teach brick-laying, plastering, putty-coat, painting and decorating, and all the kindred trades. But the school which attracted my attentign most was the Peckham School, Originally this had been a frame warehouse. This the students turned into an admirable workshop, where cabinet making and other wood working were taught, together with painting, decorating, automobile repair, electric wiring and lathe work. This school was almost wholly attended by Polish children, who were not allowed to attend the ordinary Public Schools of the city from religious scruples. A fine thing about these vocational schools is the fact that the ordinary studies are made to fit in with the handcraft work done in the shops. Arithmetic teaches the measurement and cost of materials used in the articles that are made. Composi- tion includes letters arising out of the business transactions of the day; Geography locates the origin of raw materials, and teaches the productions and the needs of the people of various countries; history teaches national development in the Tour corners of the world; drawing teaches the hand to correctly pro- tray articles as they appear to the eye. InAdition to all this, there is given a wide vision of HieFature, music, and art. This phase of the subject is all important; The factors of modern life must not be overlooked. The average in- dustrial worker almost inevitably becomes more or less a machine, doing with wonderful skill some single mechanical pieces of work. At first this work is slowly performed and holds the interest of the worker but as the days and years slip by the 'hand gains amazing rapidity, and the mind is less occupied. No better illustration of this can be pointed out than the work of the girl: at the Eddy Match- Works, who could pack and cap ten small packages of matches in a minute. She seldom takes a match too many or too few to fill the little box. If you would look at those boxes you would see that they are filled tight. What accuracy and judgment is required. Try the job yourself and see how many you can fill in a minute. To the mind that has little to think about such tasks lose their interest and eventually be- come very monotonous. -Such minds crave excitement, and have {no relaxation but that if the more highly sensational amuse- ments. "Education should make a man at home in the world." It should fit him to be able to amuse himself so that his leisure time is not a burden 'only to be borne when shared by others; or when occupied in watching the play of others. "Self-expression" should find vent in pleasure. as well as in industrial production. Too many of our people are afraid to be alone. They cannot amuse themselves. They cannot play. They can only yell at the picked team, who represent them at baseball, hockey, football, etc. These young folk should be individually taught how to throw a ball and catch one, how to bat, and how to run, It is not enough that they should "root" for Babe Ruth or Bill Jones. One of the greatest needs of the day is that children should be taught how to play; and how to play fairly. They should be taught that good play is worthy of praise no matter who makes the play; and dishonest play is never excusable even to win for the home team. A Letter from "The Only Island." Prince Edward Island, January 14, 1927 Mr, s. Farmer, Port Perry, Dear Sir--I though perhaps, you and your readers would be interested in hearing Something about the country East from 'Montreal. When you, entrain ont of "Montreal you at least realize that you are in a different part of Canada. You hear a different lan- guage and you do not need to hear it to know it because hands, head and body are used as well as their tongues.to convey their meaning. They are altogether different to the people going out of Tol olotn. It is said to be, because their language is not so expressive as ours. Most of you have read of"Picturesque Quebec" with its roll- ing land dotted with timber, with an occasional mountain in view, creating a different landscape to that seen in our part of the Then there are more rivers, running faster, white- | washed house and barns built near together in rows along either side of the road or river, with magnificent churches set in high places; but while this plan of farm makes neighbors near, it also makes Jong * marrow farms sometimes running back two miles to 'make 0! undred acres.

The others who have occupied that position have been James Graham in 1879, William Jackson in 1916 and George Sweetmah i in 1926. MINISTERS FROM 1829 tq 1926 Before proceeding to set down a list of the preachers who have laboured on the Island it may be advisable to give a very brief outline of the history of the Methodist Church in Canada," The first Methodist Missionaries who came into Upper Can- ada came from the United States and since the church in that country had adopted an episcopalian form of government, the first Methodist Episcopal Church in Canada along with the Wesleyan 1824 the Methodists in Canada organized a separate conference and became independant. In 1833 the Canadian Conference united with the British Methodist body and since the church in that country had continued the Wesleyan form of government the Canadian church became Wesleyan. But some congregations preferred the episcopal form and so there continued to be Methodist Episcopal Church in Canada along with the Wesleyan until 1883 when these two bodies became one in the Methodist: Church which recently lost its identity in the United Church. = Thus in the list of preachers we have two branches until 1888, the year of the union after which there was only one denomina- tion, There should really be three branches until aioe but we | have no record of the ministers of the Bible Christian nor have we any records of the Christian Church. The Bible Christians were a branch from the Methodist tree.
