It is a. disgrace to send to the pub- lic school children that have been made the victims at blows and bra. tality at home and expect the teacher to do the hardest of all work. the in. stilling of education, without re- course to the only kind of persuasion that the child is accustomed to obey. This newspaper, with pleasure, will always share in the prosecution of any teacher or of any human being guilty of striking a helpless child if efiective prosecution can possibly be brought about. But we do tell par. ents they should be frank with them- selves, and honest to the teachers. Every human being has the same rights in this world. It is an out- rage according to our law for a man to strike another equal to him in strength. It is an infinitely greater outrage for any human being to Strike a weak child that is defence- less. If you cannot control one chxld without brutality. how can you ex- pect apublic school teacher to con- trol forty or fifty children by kind- ness? Remember that we do not excuse under any circumstances the striking of a child by a teacher. If you say, " I have a boy that I can only control by whipping him.” or “ I have a girl that must be whip- ped once in a while,” how have you a right to say, “I will not allow a teacher to touch my child. 2’” We emphasize this point: Control your children by kindness and intelli~ gence. You have no right. to send children otherwise controlled to the public schools. I‘hink what a task you put before tha teachers, when you expect. them to control so many children who at home are too often directed in opposi- tion to the teacher’s wishes and even encouraged to disobey the teacher. How many children are ruined by contradictory orders from father and mother. How impossible it is in a family to bring up the children properly if the father adopts one method and the mother another. Let them send to the teachers children that are accustomed to be controlled in that manner. Realize that the father is a teach- er’s partner in education, and that the mother is the teacher’s ally. Fathers and mothers demand that in school their children shall be con- trolled by moral persuasion, appeals to their better nature by intelligence. Fathers and mothers in America demand. properly. that a teacher shall not strike a child. They should send to the teacher children that do not require blows. Remember that the most intelli- gent. conscientious. devoted teacher can see all of his work made unless by overpetting of a child or foolish severity with a. child. The first thing for you fathers and mothers is to see to it that you do not send Spoiled children to the schools. 1 H5.“ m Don’r. fail to pity the public school teacher who is eXpected to control, by kindness and intelligence exclus- ively, a dozen or more spoiled child- Fathers and mothers know what an atrocious thing a. Spoiled child is. You pity the father and mother that must control one spoiled child. Interest allowed onzdeposits from date of deposit to date of withdrawal, and paid four times a year. The matter is most serious. The teacher cannot possibly do his best work and give the best results unless the parents co-Operate with him in- telligently. Let us consider what the duty of parents is, and what the teachers have a right to expect. No red tape with usâ€"â€"never was any. There is far too much readiness to listen to the stories of children ex- cnsing their own poor work with criticism of teachers. Standard Bankof Banada DURHAM BRANCH We demand on behalf of the future generation, on behalf of the school children and the school teachers of to day, that mothers and fathers coo operate willingly and intelligently in the work that the school teachers have to do.

Make it your solemn duty to lighten the burden of the men and the women in the public schools, upon whom you depend for your children’s welfare. Impress upon them especially the fact that good men and successful men have always been eager in child- hood to show gratitude for the work that the teachers do. For your children’s sake especially. and for the teacher’s sake as well, put yourself in the teacher’s place Impress upon vour child the great. noble work that the teacher does. Tell the child how often it has hap. pened that men successful in this world haye owed their success en. tireiy to their school teacher. The school teacher is not the father or the mother of the children sitting on the benches. Yet we ask of the teacher a devocion greater than that of any other public servant. We demand that he eive every ounce of his ability, of his interest, to children that will not thank him, whose suc 0053 he will not live to see or share, exhausting his vitality in return for extremely poor pay. Fathers and mothers, be conscien tious partners of the teachers. Instinct compels us to make great sacrifices to the children of our body. Nature attends to that, the human race would die without it. You ask of the teacher a devotion that. can only be given as a result of the highest possible moral character. Remember that the work of school teachers is the noblest and the hard. est work in the world. Remember that it is infinitely the most import- ant work in the world. Never try to influence the child against the teacher under any condi- tions. You hurt your own child in- finitely more than you hurt the teacher when you encourage the child to rebel against necessary'discipline Don’t laugh at your child when it tells of the “ smart things ” that it does at school to bother the teacher or to bother other pupils. Find out for yourseEf, without en- couraging the child to disobedience by liSteuing too eagerly to its Story. Then. if you find that your child has Spoken absolutely truthfully, take such steps as you may please. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Investigate these things if you will. But investigate them for your- selves, remembering the teadency of childhood to exaggeration. Don’t be made foolish to the fact {has it is your own child that talks. Do not neglect this. Never encourage achild to speak dierespectfully of a teacher. Never encourage a child to put blame upon a teacher. There are defiective teach- ers. of course. And it does happen that the Child may bring to its father or mother truthful tales of shortcom- ings on the teacher’s part. Fall Term Opens Sept. Ath The mother slaving day in and day out that her daughters may have what she could not have. that her sons may have for their education the money that she ought to spend on herself. is the rule, not the ex- ception. But too indulgent or mis- taken aflection ruins the child. The sight of 1 {other working him- self to death for the sake of his {ami- ly is so common in the United States that it excites no comment. Nowhere in the world is purenul love more highly developed then in America. Nowhere are greater sec- rifices made for the coming genera- tion. T“ w. - “Lame, C‘m‘ Oxford may truthfully lay claim to priority in point of 339. both as a university and as concerning its indi- vidual colleges. although both took rise in the same centuries, the 12th and 13th. From the standpoint of historic interest and architectural and natural beauty, lovers of each university can point to some special world-renowned example of the charm of each. “That sweet city with her dreaming Spires" which has inspired so many poets is acknowledged to be perhaps the most beautiful in England. 01' some say in Europe. The High street of Oxford is uneQuaned by anything which Cam- bridge can show. The magnificent university buildings. the beauties of Magdalen with its splendid tower, the imposing range of Christ Church, are m the most striking featum of: Oxford’s concrete side of existence? Against these Cambridge boasts the m at King's College Chapel, the The question of which university has produced the greatest number of noted men is one which admits of endless argument. It is. however. tolerainy certain that in law. in letters and in the church, Oxford has the pre-emin- ence; in mathematics and science Cam- bridge bears away the bell; in di- plomacy and the service of the state the palm is fairly divided. l It is not our intention, however, to embroil ourselves in any conflict such as that which gave. rise to such shafts '. of wit 'as those just quoted. We will t content ourselves with a few notes on the striking differences between the sister universities, avoiding controver- sial matters so far as is possible. Classics or Sciences? 0 1 First and foremost, of course, comes i the point of classics and mathematics; and the fact that, whilst at Oxford the best classic of his year is the holder . [of the highest honor Oxford can give, fiat Cambridge the senior wrangler, as i;head of the mathematical tripos, is the ifirst among his peers, is resp insible for l l l l i o l l I l UUWU‘ P) a great number of pnillts of difference. '. Oxford. possessing the best classical ‘lschools in the world. is naturally the lhead and front hf classical learning. -lHence, in the first place. a good deal ‘of rivalry between Cambridge and Ox- g ford classical scholars: secondly, oni the whole, a more literary tendency in Oxford life, and also a stronger lean- ling towards conservatism as regards old methods and ideals. In one im- portant reSpect, however, Oxford has proved herself much more receptive of new ideas, and the result has been !a great improvementâ€"in many ways. gThe system of inter-collegiate lectures ‘has been very largely adopted at Ox- ford. whereas, at Cambridge, although it has been introduced to a certain ex- -tent, it is not nearly so firmly estab- lished as at the sister university. By this system, nearly all honor lectures lgiven by college tutors and lecturers lat-e Open to all members of the uni- versity, the college tutor being recog- nized by the university as a teacher in his special faculty. The result is, the greater accessibility of the learn- ing of the university, a. breaking down of excessive college “clique,” and a more organized and united policy. Rhodcs’ Scholars and Ladies. The will of the late Mr. Cecil Rhodes has also given Oxford the honor of leading the way as a centre of learn- ing for the British realms across the sea. The Rhodes' students, being, as they are bound t» be. the pick of the [colonies of America and of Germany. {and being also by the condition of {their election gifted with the facul- ties of will and c‘mmand, as well as of study. are certain to have a strong influence upon the social and intellec- tual life of (.ixfurd. As regards the higher education of women, Cam- bridge is of course the centre, prob- ably caving to the fact that. women are as a rule more attracted by the exact sciences than by classical teaching. At Oxford, on the other hand, there is not the same amount of friction be. tween men and women students as at Cambridge. Possibly it is that the women students keep more to them- selves, and again the question of granting degrees to women has not yet been flung into the Oxford arena, where it is quite possible that it might arouse a disturbance quite as lively as that which Cambridge witnessed four or five years ago. 1 horse, For Tories own no argument but force; With equal care to Cambridge books he sent, For Whigs admit no tome but argu- ment." and light blue on the towpath in mod- ern days, is the counterpart of that iwhich in more stormy times found {vent in deeper matters. The famous epigram by Joseph Trapp is perhaps one or the neatest literary monuments of the ancient argument, “King George, observing with judic- ious eyes The state or both his universities, To Oxford sent a tr00p of horse; and why? That learned body wanted loyalty. To Cambridge books he sent, as well discerning How much that loyal body wantch learning.” 1 The retort of Cambridge is only less apt than the attack, and is not so well known as it deserves to be. “The King to Oxford sent a. tr00p or! There is little doubt but that, so long as Cam' and Isis flow, the rival merits of England’s two great univer- sities will continue to afford matter for much-heated discussion to the loyal partisans of both.

He brought home from the city in the evening a huge tin box of Egyptian cigarettes, a hookah and a jar of Turk- ish tobacco. “I never enjoyed smoking as I’ve done lately,” he explained. “I can’t keep a cigar out of my mouth.” “No, I haven‘t noticed it,” she-an- swered faintly. And at dusk he brought home a cost 1y meerschaum pipe and a pound of Cavendish and, shutting himself up in the library, smoked like a forest fire until bedtime. “Hadn’t .we better change the coffee?

Usually after din~ ner he smoked once, but that night he smoked all the evening. The atmos- phere was thick. Unfortunately it arrived before she was up. Elmer opened it, smiled to himself, sealed it up again and said nothing. To be sure Elmer smoked only three or four cigars a day. Still, why should he smoke at all? She didn‘t.
