XPerience--no pessimist should attempt to teach. Faith should see further than: the mere intel- tual development of the student. ' 'No two blades of grass are exactly alike. Given proper training, each student can be prepared to make his contribution to the social good. Standardized, he can most likely but add to the social Problems that already exist. . This development of the talent of the individual is the great adventure of, teaching -- Faraday, ' Michael Angelo, Napoleon, Pasteur --niay- sit~in those school seats in embryo.

'Do teachers, . and parents' realize the skills 'of mind and hand to be developed in order that 'any one of these manufacturing operations may be successfully performed?

People were led to believe that it was a war measure that was helping the cause, and everybody: accepted the - situation without protest, but now they know that § ycand general discontent is'growing. € Rural schools find the situation so intolerable 'that's some, are opening at ten and others at nine. thirty in the morning. = Sending children off to school in the early dawn and often in the dark, is unpleasant and dangerous.

The whole scheme was junked in 1928. Sears-Rocbuck, the big U.S, mail order house stag ted selling life insurance in 1934 through its mail order catalogue--of course at a lower price than agent-sold insurance. After pushing the business hard and offering the insurance to some 10 million customers and 40,000 employees, Sears-. 'Rosebuck" wrote "only $6.6 millions of new in- surance, The vice-president said; "this excursion into life underwriting looms large as exhibit A in support of ... the necessity for the agency system." Almost 35 years ago, Massachusetts started selling over-the-counter life insurance through savings 'banks. Sales were promoted by much publicity, several full-time field instructors push- ed the scheme, Employers were lined up to pro. mote sales among their staffs. Despite all this "drive for a third of a. century, and despite tho . inevitably lower cost insurance offered, this fund has only about 3%% of the total insurance in force in the whole state. H. W. Manning, president of the Canadian Life Insurance Officers' Association, emphasized in a New Year's Message the necessity of selling life insurance. He said: "The life insurance agent is the motive power of the business. - The fundamental soundness of the institution, the universal appeal of its service, its management and its administration, would all count for little were it not for the daily effort of those men and women who go. out and tell so effectively the story of 'life "insurance and its benefits to the individual . . The agency forces constitute one of the main assets of the business "and the nation," PES LJ] * * NOTES AND COMMENTS It is nice to find that Canada is growing up; -. but anybody who thinks we can get along' without Great Fritain and the other Dominions, had better remember ihat loyalty to Britain is really the cord that binds us tegather. ; : BE TEE Sa oir Anybody who fails to understand the great part Russia has played in the winning of the war, must be either wilfully blind or asleep.

The old song still holds good. . Hitler has forced us to become great fighters.

You'd never suspect that harness used to be re- paired and oiled there. Nor would you be able to see those patched windows that became an eyesore. It's all fixed up now in good style. E. L. Argue has moved in where Billy Web-' ster used to be. And I tell you it's an up-to-date grocery. This means that the Willard Store has been vacated. Bill Taylor is fix- ing it up for his restaurant. He has to move, too. Levinson has bought the block where he is located now, and Taylor has bought the Sweetman Block. There will be a number of changes in this shift around. But just now we'll have to keep guessing as to what they will be. The moves certainly stir up old memories. The days come back when Fred McIntyre and Ed. Dunk carried on a flourishing Drygoods business where the be. to $1.00 store now sells varieties. Then Harry Willard kept his excellent Grocery.
