Credulous writers have spread this legend at home and abroad. There {8 no dark mystery about ~the unknown marcher .exeept his rea- son for: wearing the civilian hat and coat over his white clothes, and the probable explanation {s that he bor- rowed them at the last moment be- cause of the rain. The name of the marcher is. Con- atantin, Golovan, and he is a school teacher in the Rumanian village of Drago-slavele, in the district of Mus. cel. M. Golovan is a member of the highest order of <Milhai Viteazul" (Michael the Brave), which was crea. ted in 1916 and corresponds to - our Victoria Cross. Four foreign kings, of whom only one remains alive, were - during the war awarded this distinct fon--King George of England; King Albert of Belgium, King Alexander of Yugo-Slavia and King Victor Emman. uel 'of - Italy. ; : M. Golovan came to the funeral of King George as a member of the de- - legation of- this Order, which. com- prised also a Rumanian general and two. colonels..

In Oct- -ober 1916, under fierce enemy fire he succeeded in cutting an Austrian bed wire entanglement and led a storming party to the capture of an important ridge position. By this deed he not only gained the highest military order of his country but. a claim-to- be one of those to represent Rumania at the funeral of the King of _England. Also he has inspired. a Fleet Street legend that will be diffi. cult to kill as that of the Russian © army passing through England in the trains during-the war. - Voice of Consciene Reaches To Japan From the National.

While written specially for the "Review" and addressed to-residents of Minto Township particularly, we believe they will be found interestifg to many of the readers of this paper because the problems of the tarm folk of Minto Township are the same problems that confront. rural people throughout the province.

This devotion to education was strongly urged by John Knox at the Reforma. tion and fs inwoven In the Scottish character. Every parish had its school and doniinie. Scotland led England in popular education by over 200 years. Y Education js a good servant but a hard master. The "Scottish Tradit- ion" In spreading knowledge widely has over-emphasized 'the personal of scholastic = attainment. Success at school and university meant preferment, position, = prizes, and. getting on in life. So the schools have betoiile [nstruments for breed- ing "rugged individualism" and the "acquisitive spirit." Its philosophy is --every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost; to the victor be: ong the spoils; to him endowed with zifts, let all-the less gifted pay toll. It is the compelling spirit of Big Business and "Capitalism.
