If she epent $20,000 or $30,000 a year on her wardrobe, she would have less to spend on other things, so she is content with modest $8,000. She gives many details whiéh would be useful to those of our lady readers who are desirous of keeping thelr expenditure down, to $8,000 a ! preciate the value of frank ours.

TRAINING FOR’ CITIZENSHIP IN THE YEARS OF CHILDHOOD (St. Marys’ Journal-Argus) We Tr conaiderable to-day bout “training for citizenship,” and it is well we do. Are we making any progress along this line? We might well ask. The word “citizenship” May mean a great deal or very Little, and it depends upon each one -how much and what he is going to put into the term. It is quite evident to everyone that the principles of cit- izenship should be instilled. during youthful years. The first place the thild must recelve them is the home. It Is there it must learn its relations to other human beings, and the laws, written and unwritten, that govern it. From the home the child goes to school and here It should be taught a wider application of the laws governing the Individual {n its relations to others, Here-might be asked the question, are our schools preparing the material they re moulding for successful citizen-4 ship? This is a question every teach- er might ask himself. The duty of every the ts re- lationship to others in the school, the community, the country and ear, but the exigencies of space and fear of making a fasle step on familar ground forbid our entering into these particulare. In one respect, at least, she Is like her poorer sist-, ers: “Many of my boots and shoes go on-for several seasons.'” This article is apparently one of a, series showing how a may spend an income of a quarter of a, million a year “with strict soonemy, | great generosity and charming phil-| osophy."’ It will be interesting to| | learn what she does with the other | $242,000, which seems to afford a) falrly wide margin for expenditure! {t ; on generosity and philosophy. She) may be a lady bountiful or a patro- | hess of art. sclence and literature, perhaps indirectly responsible for the deluge of books which make life a! burden to the reviewer.

THA NEW-NATIONAL PRINCIPLE (Montreal Witness) oh and let live. We suggest that this be the recognized spirit of the New National Policy. In other words let us replace the fallacy of privilege cf the few by the principle of Live and Let Live. And when discussing the regime of #rotection, whose death knell {8 now sounding, let it be referred to as The Old National Fallacy, Nothing like calling a spade a spkde. And let us culfivate the New National Principle which is de- veloping under the Robb Budget by - Then let Canada's basic industry is going to have a bet- ter chance in future. If every farm- er knowing of vacant land would let some friend knowevof It, and more especially some friend in the old land, there would soon be a rush of new settlers such as Canada has hever known. And the thora farm- ers there are in the country the sur- be that their rights will be respected. The systematic) lowering of duties till privilege {a| cut out of the calculation will re-| sult in cheaper living. This will in turn make the country more attract- ive to mechanics, among others, who will work for lower wages. Factor- fea will, therefore, be able to com- ‘plete both at home and abroad with rlages and a higher birthrate still further augmenting the populatiof with the best of all citizens, the native born. Surely Canada will find both peace and prosperity in the de- velopment of the New Nationa! Prin-| ¢ Let Live. And on that basis the Witness can be count- ed on the fight for the rights-of the Manufacturer even as.under the pro- tectionist. fallacy it champions cause of .the oppressed farmer. But it will never see much sense in bol- stering exotic enterprises, which can only be aclimatized, at the expense of our basic industries. We have taken. a good step in the right direc- Hon but. what Canada needs is a ruly national, rational, comprehen- sive.and falr-play policy based . on The New National Principle of Live and Let Liye.

CHURCH UNION BALKED Montreal Witness) Although its impoasible position of seeking the ald of the civil pow- er to forbid the proposed church union altogether Is ignored and con- demned by the réport of the parlia- t the it m 2 opr has, nevertheless, registered a temp- orary triumph In getting the commit- tee, and presumably Parllament. {t- self, to vote union for two years at all events, and under certain tingencles forever, such heing the purport of the bill as now amended. The French, wlth one exception, vot- ed en blo¢ as usual following ~ pre- sumably some instruction, and Was by thelr vote hat these churches were denjed their request, How will Liberalism hold up {ts head before the country after knif- ing the wish of the churches In this fashion? It is no doubt counted on that Parliament will adopt the re- port of the committee, as Its strong desire !s to escape debate upon ft, though in that escape it may be dia- appointed. The action recommended is preposteroyg, as It is based on the assumption that Parliament can either unite Christian bodies or for- bid them to unite. The parliamentar- fang are not‘to be blamed for that assumption, as, under the bill, it would appear that the churches act- ually went to Parliament to get leave to obey thelr Master, by uniting and to obtain jts seal on what they were to believe. It was the avowed and un- compromising alm and purpose of the opposition, to get union forbidden; ‘and it has measurably had its way. The representatives of opposition made it plain that what they sought was noth less than a legislative Injunction Xorhidding these Christ- fan bodieé to unite. That would be, as any intelligent member of Parlia- ment might have seen, a return to the religidus despotism of the Stuarts, against which Scottish Pres- byterianigm,) with its emblem of the burning bush that was not consum- ed by persecution, is a monument of protest. It was an attempt to de- termine by law what churches of Christ might or might not do in the furtherance of Christ’s Kingdom, no injury. to Manners or morals being alleged, : WHAT A PLAY GROUND MEANS TO COMMUNITY (Canadian School Board Journal) “Playgrounds are a waste of mon- ey’’ some people argue, “If children must, play, let them find their own amusements, for they never seem to be at lossewhen they have to shift for, themeelyes in that respect."’ IA answer let me draw your attention to England's experience shortly after the. war started. en, owing conditions, gome schools and all Playgrounds »were neglected, ‘child- ren were turned loose in the streets, or put-to hard work and expenses for schools and playgrounds were reduced. As a result during the year 1915 juvenile delinquency thrdugh- out England showed an average in- crease of 34 per cent. In the. city of ‘ chester the increase was 56 per cent.
