For some time she has been 0 na rampage against the “warlike” na- ture of our schoolâ€"hooks. which tell of the glorious pasr. of the British Empire and her Colonies, the deeds of valor ot’ her sons 0n the field of battle and elsewhere. and other litâ€" erature which can do nothing worse than make patriots of our rising gen- eration. who must grow up with a pride in their country’s past and a hope for her future. Miss. Macphail does not make it Very plain in just which way she would supplant our educational sys- tem. especially in the elimination of the "warlike“ spirit in our readers. She has no constructive criticism. All her utterances we have heard of or listened to are of the “tear-down” class, with no sound suggestions for; the, replacement with something bet- ter of that which she would destroy. Her latest utterance comes from Washington. the l'niteil States capt- tal. where she was a delegate to a woman's ronyentien. l'nder the heading, "Agnes the I’caceahle,“ The. Montreal Star says : PAGE FOU R DURHAM CHRONICLE “'l‘lwro' is. for vxamplo. tho caso of Miss Agros Marphail. M.

So far as we know. there is no one in Canada who is in favor of war. and our lady representative} can claim no monopoly as an advoâ€"i rate of pi‘ftt'i‘. She. merely makes more noise. that's all. A canvass of the riding she represents would. we imagine. produce very few “war lords." and. as a representative of a peaceful people, the lady from Cey- lon is wasting her time running around Canada and the United States insinuating that the Dominion of Canada is fosterim: a war spirit in her school hooks. .

Let us see what. happeqs }n the remain- Eng three weeks of the short-range forecast. Even the wise men at the observatory in Toronto seldom at- tempt to predict the weather for more than twenty-dour hours in advance. and even at that they some- times fail in their guess. PLANT TREES NOW What about planting a few trees and leavmg them as a monument to those who follow after? We have advocated this every year for twen- ty-seven years. and still only a small percentage seems to think it worth while to make an effort in the way of heautifyjng the town. A A _-_ -‘I- ":fvhivs is avg-odd time to get to work and if only one tree grows out. of THOSE WEATHER PROPHETS be worth the effort. , We planted three last year. and two of them are budding out. now. Had everyone. in town done the same the place would soon have an imâ€" proved appearance. But why talk about such things? The peeple don’t. care. [ I_,'nfortunately. Mr. Camel-”s efforts at the Memorial Park grounds last year were not. a success. but' the luck may be better this year. By the way. the park belongs to the town and we think the Council would be justified in making a small grant. towards its upkeep. We throw this out as a hint and leave it. to Mr. Calder and the Couneil to press the suggestion.

Tl‘he Institutes could lhl'll g about better eoâ€"Operation be-; tween home and school in many lines.
