Those who can really write poetry will thus have a chance to have it pub- lished and they will also be pald for it, instead of having to send it to the newspapers whose editors frankly do not know good poetry when-they see it." ---- Fergus News-Record. Commenting upon the last state. ment--that editors don't know good poetry when they see it -- onto Star says it can prove it, One of Its editorial writers sept a few lines of verse to the conker he "A Little of Everything". column 1 the Star's own editorial page, and in order that there should be no chance of favoritism on account of his iden. tity he had the lines typewritten and a strange name signed to them. They were never published. Well, joking aside, why should ed- ftors always know good poetry, any- way, or what the world might regard as good poetry? Ov, for that matter, why should they always know what is good prose? Often they have shown that they didn't know, Only recently the edi- tor of the Atlantic Monthly confess. ed he hal rejected the manuscript which made Hemingway famous.

While written specially for the "Review" and addressed to resi- dents of Minto Township particu- larly, we believe they will be found interesting to many of the readers of this paper because the problems of the farm folk of Minto Township are the same problems that i front rural people throughout th Province, In order to explain my interest in Denmark and the purpose of my visit to that wonderful little coun- try in the Summer of 1934, it will be necessary for me to disclose a little of my personal history. Thirty years ago I was a teacher of Science in London Collegiate In- stitute when I received an invitation to apply for the position of Profes- sor of Nature Study at the Macdon- ald Institute at Guelph. My appoint- ment to the work brought me into the service of the Ontario Agricul- tural College to help in bringing in- to effect the ideals of one of the greatest men, that this country, in my opinion, ever had, namely the late James W. Robertson. Though borfi and reared in Scotland he was a great Canadian and second only to Ryerson in his ambitions for the best sort of schools and the best sort of education for the country folk of Ontario and the other Cana- dian Provinces, There will be many old-timers in Harriston and Minto Township who will remember him as the manager of the Cotswold and other neighbor- ing cheese factories in the early 80's, ~ Why I Visited Denmark: "THE McDONALD MOVEMENT" (By Prof. S. B. McCready) . from 19056 to 19156. They were, 1 think, the best years of my school master's life, Though we had fail- ed, it was worth while, I have al- ways believed. The mistakes we made should serve as warnings for those who attempt the next advance, Believing that there was no poss- ible chance for progressive changes in rural educdtion in Ontario under our rigid educational system, I re- signed from the Government Ser- vice in 1915 to follow other educa- tional work, But I never ceased to dream about "Denmarking' Ontario's schools a bit, So, in 1934, nineteen years after withdrawing from the service of the Department of Educaton, 1 went to Denmark to try to find out if the devastating depression from which Ontario agriculture - suffers, could not be helped by copying some of the methods that proved successful for the Danes in like distress. I went. I saw. I leaned. I be- lieve that the only hope for the per- manent and successful re-éstablish- ment of Ontario agriculture is by co-operation and education, . This was Robertson's faith, In that saine faith I write these articles, Next week's article wiil be ahout Denmark and the Danes. or A © most other spheres self as a pauper and called on an ed- ftor with the manuscript of one ot the best stories he had ever written. The editor, not penetrating the dis- guise, glanced at the manuscript, and pronounced it of no worth and told Harte to leave. When the editor dis- covered his mistake, he was profuse in his apologies, but from that time forth Bret Harte never submitted a manuscript or spoke'to him again. It all illustrates how in the hatter of good writing, as in other things in life, judgments may be terribly arti. ficial, even nonsensical. Most of us are more interested in show than in substance; indeed we appear unable to find the substance unless the show is visible. Almost every great writer has been compelled to create an ap- petite for himself; and until that ap- petite js created editors and publish. ers are too apt to be eritical. The truth is that in literature, as in in life, success usually hangs by a slender thread. One thinks of Thomas Hobbes, one of England's most remarkable philoso- phers. He was an obscure thinker, who had been private secretary to Lord Bacon in his youth and all the indications were that he would die poor and virtually unknown But one day some of the clergy made thelr appearance at the palace of King Charles, Informed him there was an fireligious writer in the offing who should get his just deserts. Well, the King was not a scholar, nor much of a reader, though he was the wittiest man who ever sat on the throne of England, and as good natured as he was witty. But good natured as he was, he disliked the idea of persecu- ton, and especially the persecution of free speech. Accordingly, and al. though he had never heard of Thom- as Hobbes, he promptly bought all of the philosopher's works, ordered the greatest painter in Londen to paint his portrait, which ever after in the King's bedchamber, and set- tled a big pension on the man whom his own ancestors would have burned. 2So. we welcome this new venture of Canadian Authors.

Proposals in the bill include a min- jmum insurance of 6000 pounds for powered aircraft up to 5000 pounds in weight, and up to 25,000 pounds for planes of 25,000 pounds and over. The intermediate figures would be at the rate of 100 pounds per each 100 pounds weight. Balloons would be rated at a maximum of 5000, air- ships at 25,000 and glides at 1,000.

Wilkinson, only woman member of the 1936 Calgary City Council. She was elected Social Credit candidate in the civic elections November 20. A trained nurse who operates a physio-therapy clinic, Mrs. Wilk- inson is a strong opponent of pres- ent methods of relief. "I believe ev- ery person is entitled to employ- ment," she said. "If that is not pos- sible, they should not be subjected to the humiliation they have to en- dure at present, : "I shall make every effort to have greater dignity maintained in the administration of relief." Born in Ireland, Mrs. Wilkinson has lived in Canada for 20 years.

"At that time he represented a firm of British Cheese Importers. Afterwards he became the first Dominion Dairy Commissioner and in that capacity put Canadian Cheese "on the map." He was a man of the highest ideals and a very lovely gentleman. 1 was very proud to be his disciple. Knowing the needs of country life as he did, and sensing the inade- quacy of our school system to meet those needs, he conceived the idea of establishing a new sort of Coun- try Teachers' Training School at Guelph in association with the Agri- cultural College where he had been in the at one time an instructor Dairy Department. Sir William Macdonald, the mil- lionaire _sohacco manufacturer of Montreal furnished Prof. Robertson with the necessary funds and the School was named the Macdonald Institute. This experiment in mak- ing school more natural and vital, sought to sbring about a reform in country life education. It aimed to offset the town and university trend towards professional and white-col- lar jobs which has always character- ized our school system by substitut- ing handicrafts, homemaking and nature studies : for the academic bookishness required by our exact- ing .examinatioh system. My first duty was to take charge of an interprovincial class of about fifty teachers representing Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Ed- ward Island, Quebec and Ontario, I do not need to.say it was a. thrilling experience. 1 felt that we were hav- ing a hand in breaking down pro- vincial prejudices. That work ceas- ed after three years Junfortunately. Wouldn't it be a great thing for Can- ada if there could still be some sort of national meetinglground for coun- try teachers -- say at the Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa? A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE As most of you know this so-call- | ed "Macdonald Movement" for bet- "er rural education failed. The job i has still got to be done. Perhaps Robertson was ahead of the times? Conditions were not ripe for a for- ward movement, And there is no doubt mistakes were made. It was made too dependent on. consolida- tion for one thing. But I have never "ceased to believe in Robertson's ideas and idesls ---- and some day they will be accepted by. Ontario country folk. So I prophesy. Those of us who had a hand in that "Macdonald Movement thirty years ago heard a great deal of Den- | mark. That land of the Vikings was "| held before us as an ideal for Cana- ' dian schoolmasters to emulate, The wonderful accomplishments in. co- operation amongst Danish farmers were, we were told, due largely to their system of rural schools, The "Macdonald Movement" and Den- mark were parts of the same idea. What Denmark had done, we could do, we foolishly thought. In 1914, just at the time of the out- break of the Great War, we had i the Ontario School Inspectors at Guelph for a week to be instructed by Dr, Fouht about the Danish sys. tem. But nothing came of if. I sup- so the War prevented anything Pp done and besides educational yeforms can not be jnitiated by School Inspectors, That was about the "last kick" of the Macdonald Movement for yural school advancement. 1 had a little land in the adven'ure for ten yeurs, > Lm ang Peacemakers That Make War Frank H. Simonds in Current History 'Not long ago I was asked by a friend of mine, high - in the official circles of ome of the best. known of American peace socleties for a crit. icism of the activities of her associa. tion, In brief, my response must be that not alone her association but also the domestic peace movement as a whole has become the gravest peril to peace the United States has to deal with in the present hour of the world crisis, ..In a word, if thera is danger that we shall become involved in war, be it in Asia, Africa or Europe--and {in my judgment the danger exists--the reason is to be discovered not in the machinations of the militarists but in the performances of the pacifists, It is not the munition makers, the inter. national bankers or the war monger. ing admirals and generals who are today pushing towards participation in other people's wars, but those peacemakers whose aim it is to prev- ent war, The explanation of this paradox, discoverable in Great Britain as well as in the United States, is very simple as the professional peace-makers in both countries still remain convinced that there is some peaceful way to prevent war even in the present hour when the rulers of at least three great powers have adopted war not merely as the chief instrument of na. tienal policy, but also as the _sole '| means of assuring personal and nat- fonal survival, Alike in the Japanese action in Manohuria., the German in Austria \ DIXIE gives you a long tin cool smoke. ...
