We haxe known for a long time that the home was ceasing to be any good for most of the purposes for which it used to be considered important and useftil. We are born in hospitals, we are educated in schools, our social Yife is cafried on in hotels and clubs, | we die in hospitals again, and we are buried from an undejptakers' establish- ment. Thus are sca¥iered most of the activities which -formerly made the Rome important and kept it busy. The lastest blow to that time-honored in- stitution has' been delivered by the British Parliament, which has decid: ed that the home is not the proper place for doing home-work. "When- ever practicable preparation on the school premises should be substituted - for homework," says the resolution, which was adopted by the British leg- islators recently. Their decision has been greeted by three cheers by ev- ery schoo! boy and every school girl in a'l parts of the British Empire; but there seems to us to be some mis- understanding about it all. Noth'ng is sald about reducing the hours of the schopl-day now devoted to actual teaching. If any "preparation" is to be done at all, therefore, it will evi- dently have to be in time additional to the time already spent in the school building, Is it intended that the chil- dren shall come fo school earlier, or that they shall stay there longer, or that they shall come hack again in the evening? If the legislators had had the courage to say something about this in their resolution, instead of saying nothing ahout anything except "the abolition of homework thev would "have evoked far less enthusiasm among the voters of the future. But it 1s the habit of legislators "always to be very definite about the things that will make them popular ($25 a month, for example) and completely indefinite. or completely silent about anything which will have the oppos- ite effect. We do not believe that the school children of today are seriously over- worked, either in Great Britain or in Canada. We do not believe that they can acquire anything even resembling an education with a reasonable am- ount of "preparation," and we de not e why the taxpayers should have to pay -a large body of public servants not merely to teach and examine the children during their instruction hours but also to invigilate them during the * preparation period. However, we rea- lize that the average modern home, with three bridge tables in the front parlor, a radio {n the pack parlor, a motor car in the garagh, and two mov- ing pictures just around the corner, is a plade in which the preparing of lessons is becoming increasingly dif- ficult. Besides, there is the distress- ing fact that children themselves do not like preparation. They no longer object to schoo! itsell; modern 3neth- - ods have made it a place of ugreeable entertainment rather than of difficult work. But preparation consists of ac- tually learning things, or writing things, or figuring things. It cannot be done without work, and the<child- ren do not like it. They will not like it any better.'when it is carried on at thn school premises. So the next glep will presumabbly be to abolish-it al- together.-----Torento Saturday Night. Like Japanese Farm House For our restaurant of the week, we would like to mention Jisaku or Tsukiji. We have heen there on sev- eral occasions but never knew until this week that they had threo nice Japanese rooms. fixed up in Japanese country style with all the gadgets to make them look like the farm house of Tohoku. While we usually abhor Japanese eating houses during the Winter because of the bad heating system, this one particularly appealed to our taste and comfort. A large charcoai fireplace in the centre of the room, over which is suspended a pot of hot chicken soup called Mizutaki, which is supposed to have originated in the province of Hakata. It's a thick chicken soup and you add whatever amount of shoyu pou like and eat it with rice. Of course, a bottie of Sake wouldn't do you any harm in this cold Tokyo weather. If you don't like chicken, there are any number of fine fish dishes. © Some rooms, not the farmer's kind; are directly over a huge pond full of black and red carps about two feet long and if you clap your hands they'll come right under the room. If you clap too loud, the maid will bring you a bill.' How to get there? Just tell the Police Station (Buijo Keisatsu). It's right across from it--Japan Times (Tokyo).

What "bout dat offer from Kingston, suh?" A cablegram on the table from the administration of Jamica had asked Foster to accept an official post as medico-legal adviser in the Indies. Foster had nqt answered it." "Guess yo' know dat Cap'n Swathlin' 'as come back, doc. Missy Barron takin' de trip on de Meridian fo' her health. Guess dey'll be wed one day soon, suh. Hey?" * Foster remained silent. He knew Captain Swathling had returned. Neither that nor the high official-post was troubling him. He had already sent his congratulations and best wishes to the captain and Maud. These things had passed from his thoughts; and-when théy passed Elsie Monteith had filled them. After his explosion of anger there had come upon him a kind of relapse, a heunting terror that he had injur- el the idol he worshipped. He recol- lected the scene when Hughes had tried to disfigure her with vitriol. As she had stepped in front of him the gust of her dress had aroused his emotion, She had smiled to him when he and One-eye saved her; and her smile had been invincible, contain- ing a charm that. had made him stag- ger. Her blonde hair, which had be- come darker since _he had first met her, seemed to light up with a, and became a halo.
