DURHAM BHRUNIBLE WHITHBR ARE WE DRIFTINGT The world seems to be going at a fast clip and the Juvenile Court in Toronto shows an enormous amount of crime amongst youngsters. Each generation seems to be getting worse than its predecessor, and who or what is to blame for the sad condi- tion of affairs? An editorial in the last Saturday Night says that since the first of the year three hundred children have been before the Ju- venile Court in Toronto, spoken ot frequently as the City of Churches, and regarded a few years ago as the most moral city on the continent. The writer presumes that in other cities where such courts exist the showing would be similarly and equally bad. Quoting from the edit- orial in part is a sad revelation of the depravity to which children may sink. It says: Continuiig, the article says: “In connection with the deteriorating ef- fect of a certain class of movies, all too common, it is interesting to note that the gang of youthful desper- adoes who were referred to last week as having wrecked the interior of a Toronto residence, mainly through the use of a hose, received the ~ugâ€" gestion, according to the police, from a movie in which a stream of water from a tire hose demolished the inside of a dwelling.” The writer then goes on to attach blame on the parents, where, from lack of restraining influences the boys and girls are allowed to run wild. A public school oil‘icital adâ€" mits “a decided ditl'erencc" in the youth of to-day compared with those of twenty years ago. Children are great imitators and if.the parents disregard the laws, they need have no surprise if the children hreak the rules in like manner. be good. He, in company with three others, the eldest fourteen, had ten robberies scored against them. That the gang was thoroughly proficient is indicated by that in one haul no less than $600 worth of leather goods were stolen. No doubt these boys read the yellow Sunday supplements, and took in the movies with regu- larity. They would know all about the Katzenjammer Kids, Mrs. Jiggs’ thieving brother and the remainder of the “elevating“ pictures that in- stil the higher virtues in the minds of the youth of our gay.” -V v“ “One little boy, aged seven, recent- ly arrested in Montreal, told the court officials that it did not pay to it doesn't take an observant St‘fllifil‘l I oii’icial to see the growing disobedi-l once of the rising generation. Anyâ€"l one with his eyes Open can see that in too many cases the home‘ is ruled from the nursery instead of by the heads of the family. It is a sad condition of all’airs, but; it is only too true. We know instances Where it is utterly impossible for parents to carry on a conyersation with oth- er groom-ups from the interference of the children, who are “butting in” at eVery turn. In all cases it is a breach of etiquette and a lack of propriety liar any person, old or young, to interfere with persons en- gaged in conversation. How often grown-ups are guilty of the Offence, even in the presence of children Who are apt followers in the evils of the older ones. The conduct of the par- ents is often the cause of disobedi- ence and lawlessness by the child- ren. They escape the clutches of the law for a time. When steeped in crime and in the clutches of the law it is too late to reform them. You cannot reason with some of the children of toâ€"day and the problem of improving the rising generation is serious enough. The peeple of to- day, both old and young, are alto- gether too fast. Saturday Night, in concluding the editorial, inquires: “who will sit: down and teach these youngsters that. they must respect. authority even if their parents have failed in their duties? It is quite apparent that in our schools there is too much ‘culture,’ too many fads and not enough of strap. When the schools gave up the strap they throw away a valuable. asset, so far as the coming generation of men and women is concerned. In spite of the notion of the little Montreal lad, children must be taught that it does "pay to be good.’ Whither are we drifting? We may ask in all seriousness.” Do You Know That Too much salt. prevents bread from rising? Mint and peas cooked together are nice for roast lamb?

I do not contend’ that our Executive should go out to look for trouble, but I do say that they handle matters brought before them for attention, and if Durham gOt away with any- thing in 1921 and was not tripped up by some other competing club it is no reason Why they should again get away with something similar. You [will admit two wrongs do not make :a right. “You have in President R. J. Mo'orâ€"‘ head an energetic baseball worker, but he cannot be expected to do all the work, and a ball club cannot be run without attention. This officer deserves credit for the work he has done, but for any other officer of the club I cannot say the same. In 1921 every consideration was given the Durham Clubs, the'Juniors playing ofi‘ with Stratford in the finals, but did not make any report of the gate receipts or turn in the 3rd of receipts as required. After my return from the Canadian West I found no report and after asking several times got a report of the game with a large defi- cit shown thereon. Durhlam deposit or guarantee was not withheld even then to make up the league end of the gate, but was returned to the club as an aid in their financial troubles. In 1921 sworn affidavits were taken by the Association to cover birth certificate and save ex- pense; the rules as amended for 1922 would not permit this, and the as- sertion in your publication that players played with Durham last year and also in. the other league may be correct, but if the other league had a. constitution at that time it was then, and not in 1922, that Durham should have been sus- 1;)ended. To be brief about the Durâ€" ham suspension, I might say Durham have not as a. club carried out or livâ€" ed 11p to the N.\\".H.A. 1922 Constitu- tion and Rules and have in the esâ€" timation of the N.\\'.B.A. .ltlxecutive been justly suspended for their ac- tion in ignorii‘ig the rules. ed the “Reulne” League from the fact that my name is “Renbe” and I am acting as Secretary, to which otl’ice I was duly elected.

I lost the day'at home, handled the game, and later, on Durham Main Street. was asked what my charges were, if I remember right, by Mr. Town. I asked in turn how the club stood fi- nancially and was advised ‘very poor,’ and as Mr. Moorhead had kindly made me his guest, I said if this is the case, call it square.

We Were also told that the playing of Muir, Dow and.

GOT $10.00 EXTRA (Ghesley Enterprise.) If our memory serves us aright it was in 1904 that John MCGOOI, M. A., was appointed Public School In- Speutor for East Bruce as successor to the late \V. S. Clendenning, who had been asked by the County Coun- cil to'resign on account of his not being -a university graduate. Mr. McCool was teacher of English Lit- erature in. London Collegiate Instiâ€" tute when he received the appoint- ment of inspector some eighteen tute when he received the appoint- ment of inspector some eighteen years ago and he has been a live wire in his inspectoralt duties as: he was when teaching in» High and Pubâ€" lic schools. Mr. McCool is a“ specialâ€" ist in English and by his presenta- tion of Literature in the schools of East Bruce has greatly stimulated the advantages 0f being proficient in that important subject. Mr. McCo . is an old Paisley boy, and when he taught in the old Gore school of : Greenock and at Gill'ies Hill in Elder; slie, salaries were about one-third of what they are now.

But to make the most of these wonder- ful heritages, to realize the fullest amount of profit, they must be de- veloped.

Again, the provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have all the . vantages of the State of Maine, but comparatively little has been done to develop them. What this development may mean in a measure can. be expressed by the fact that Maine last year reaped a harvest of over $40,000,000 in tourist business. . . _ Our wonderful tourist terntory is undoubtedly one of our largest assets. and greatest heritages to be developed. :a‘nd in the Opinion of international travellers who have visited us.
