“3/.- .x»' PAG‘ ’- The National Council of Women of < Canada was Organized on October 26, ‘ 1893â€"the second in the chain of Na- tional Councils, in thirty-seven countries, that tOgether form the great international Councilâ€"a ver- itable Women’s League of Nations. These Councils are federations of Societies and associations of woâ€" men, organized nationally, joined together to work for the further- ance of the Golden Rule. - At the first annual meeting, which was held in Ottawa, April 1894, eight Local Councils and three na- tionally organized societies were re- presented, «while at the last annual meeting in Vancouver fifty-six Lo- cal Councils and twelve nationallf organized societies were on the rol , the membership being approximate- ly 450,000. From the beginning the need, es- pecially of work for the introduc- tion of Manual Training in the schools, for Women Factory Inspec- tors and Women Police Matrons (there were none in Canada at that time, for Associated Charities, and for a better and more interesting History of Canada for use in the schools appealed strongly to the Confedenli on and After-- Sixty Years of Progress 11161111) ”Cl: \V 111; y. ”D “ -_-,_ work for the sameâ€"a promise that has been faithfully kept. _-_ “ [‘n‘1nn“ “as UCUH uuuuou "u, -- The work 01' the National Council is chiefly carried on by means of Standing Committees. The first Committee so appointed was that on “Laws for the better protection of Women and Children,” and during these years through the work of this Committee. the need of many changes in existing laws. and of the addition of most desirable laws, has been pressed upon the Dominion and Provincial Parliaments.

They have to do with good citizen- ship. the conservation of natural resources. the suppression of ob- jectionable printed matter and films. the promotion of tine and applied arts. education. equal moral stand- ard. good housekeeping and good housing, immigration and coloniza- tion. Two urgent, forms in particular that for many years the Council has striven to bring about are the se- questration of feeble-minded wo- men of child-bearing age. and for the prohibition of the imprisonment ] of the insane in jails. 1 While in a measure success has at- tended these et’lorts. yet much has yet to be done in the way of the needed education of public opinion. While every Local Council throughout Canada joined all other women of Canada in strenuous work for the soldiers during the late war. the National Council as a whole sent gifts of furs to the soldiers in Italy who were fighting on the high mountains and who suffered bitter- ly from the cold. Mention must be made of the fact that the inauguration of the. Victor- ian Order of Nurses. of the intro- duction of supervised playgrounds. and of the adoption of mother’s pensions all ol'iginatei’l‘ with the Na- tional Council of Women of Canada. "What is to be the work of the National Council?" the first Pres- ident. was once asked. “Chiefly mothering". was her reply. and surely her words were prophetic. T HE- ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN OF CANADA No more significant event in the wi scientific and intellectual develop- sia ment of Canada has taken place w since (lont‘ec‘leration than the crea- m tion of the Royal Society in 1881 at. pi the suggestion of the then Governor sc General the Marquis of Lorne. at- terwards the Duke of Argyll. Lord in Lorne realized. as perhaps most pi Canadians were unable to at that it time. the value that such an organ- ir ization would be. to the country in bi stimulating public interest in 0 science and literature and particu- larly in the application of scientific f( methods tn the develotiment 0f the country‘s tremendous natural reâ€" sources: in Serving as a meeting place for the scientists and writers (1 of Canada: and in helping: to break 5 down the walls of prejudice between i' English and French Canada. ' The Society was modelled partly on the Royal Society of London. a purely scientific body. and partly on the French Academy. the intel- lectual centre of France. It was di- vided into four sections: French lit- erature. history, political science, etc.; English literature. history. political science. etc.; mathematical chemical and physical sciences. and geological sciences. Since then a fifth section has been established devoted to biological sciences. Like the famous societies on which it was modelled the Royal Society has a limited membership. ranging be- tween t‘orty and fifty in each sec- tion. As vacancies occur Canadians who have earned distinction in any branch of science or literature ar elected to fill them. To mention only a few of the men who have won this coveted distinc- tion since, 1861 will make it clear how closely the Royal Society has been associated with the scientific and intellectual life of the Domin-t ion. The first president was Sir William Dawson. the famous geoloâ€" gist and head of McGill University. d it is interesting to note that his an almost equally famous son. Dr. George M. Dawson filled the same office about ten years later. Dr. Dawson was for many years director of the Geological Survey of Canada“. at r residents of the Among -1 _-ek...£ Qin 11211501 Wilson. tion since, 1861 will ma how closely the Royal been associated with t] and ixitellee‘tuql life of l'en'ié of the Daniel Wilson. 2, Archbishop Frechette the famous Frenchâ€"Cana- dian poet, Sir James Lemoine, Benâ€" jamm Sulte, the historian, Dr. W.

The tranSactions of the Society, which now fill over fifty volumes, contain valuable papers on every branch of science and literature in Canada, and these alone, as they are. found in all the great libraries of the civilized world, are of immense importance to the country because they are tangible proof that Canada ranks high, not merely in her area and natural resources, but also in the intellectual calibre of the men she has produced. Besides this. the Royal Society has taken a leading part in bringing about the estab- lishment of such important Cana- dian institutions as the Public Arâ€" chives of Canada, the "National Museum, the Research Council, the National Gallery, the Ethnological Survey, the Board of Geographic Names and the Biological Board, and has also been instrumental in carrying through such events as the Quebec Tercentenary and the Cabot Celebration. Altogether it would be hard to overestimate the real valun to the Dominion of such an organ- . ization as the Royal Society. I THE ST. LAWRENCE-â€" .l A NATIONAL HIGHWAY In a recent. record of river traffic there appeared the news that a trans-atlantic steamship of 19.000! tons had arrived at Montreal. This press item certainly created no sensation. Yet economists read it with an interest which should be shared by every Canadian who desires the advancement of his home-land. This simple fact of aship of 19.000 tons entering Montreal har- bour without difficulty is indeed a striking illustration pf the import- -- n Inna ”Ll-Inlllfil lll‘.LVLL‘QLA\â€"'-- U ance w ich our St. Lawrence has acquired in maritime trade, and a most satisfactory result of the labor expended upon making this river a real national highway. Not long go the channel of the St. Lawrence was only ten feet deep in certain places. The first statis- tics dealing with the improvement of this waterway, published in 1851. would have led no one to suppose that the St. Lawrence channel would ever be deepened to 30 feet. Today this channel is being cut to 35 feet. Very soon ships of still greater tonnage will be bringing their cargoes directly to Montreal. ft u.

Mr. Smith has many qualities which should bespeak suc- cess in his new field, long and prac-, tical experience in the newspaper arena, heaps of energy, and a genial personality. There are many here who will extend congratulations on his good fortune in securing so de- sirable a position, and trust it may be the stepping-stone to greater achievements.

It has more murders per week than any other city in the United States; it continues unashamedly to canry on its Great Lakes water diversion V steal; it applauds Big Bill Thomp- 0 son, its mayor, every time he twists V the British Lion’s tail, which is a,â€" bout once a day, and now to V “sweeten” its record it has given t itself over to an orgy of pop bottles hurling at the umpires who officiat- ed in Monday’s baseball game be- tween the Chicago Cubs and the New York Giants, which the Giants ‘ won. Even the Chicago newspaper writers themselves are frank and honest enough to admit that the de- cisions objected to were eminently fair and just, but what is fairness or justice to a bunch of rowdies who live in a murderâ€"aâ€"d'ay city where lawlessness is rampant and where justice is not? Just the same that sort of conduct at big league baseball games is not the kind that is calculated to ap- peal to right thinking people or to stimulate further interest in base-' . ball itself. When peeple go to a game of baseball they go to see the game and to encourage the Sport. so long as it is sport. When rowdy- ism or rough house tactics become rampant at these games the chances are that public support will be withdrawn by way of protest, as it y should be. That is what killed la- crosse in Canadaâ€"Walkerton Teles- cepe. p Cancelling Drivers’ Licenses I'pwards of a thousand motor li- censes have been cancelled so far this year in an effort to make the highways safe. This announcement comes from Premier Ferguson, who further adds that he is determined to do his utmost to put a stop to reckless driving and the trail of «leath and injury it leaves in its wake. Fines, it appears from the premier’s remarks, do no good. They are paid and the pitiless loss of hu- man lit‘e goes on. So now magis- trates have been instructed ‘to can- eel more and more drivers’ licenses and thus rule off the highway those who persist in taking a chance. But fast driving is not the only evil. The glaring headlight is ju51 as bad and when the cost is summed up it may be found that these. coupled with a dirty windshield do 'not. fall far behind furious driving as the cause of the numerous acci- dents which are recorded daily in the .press of the provinceâ€"Bruce Herald and Times. The Anglican Synod, in session at. Kingston, is not in favor of granting the privilege of the church’s mar- riage service to those who have been divorced, while the partner still lives. ‘ That may not be a very vigorous' obstacle to those who seek re-mar- riage, but it. is something, and it’s about as far as any church can go. because it means a refusal to recog- nize divorcees as proper persons to marry again. Canada had 608 divorces in 1926, an increase of ten per cent. over previous year, and ten times as imany as were granted in 1913.

Our prommity to United States may have some- thing to do with our attitude to- ward the matter.
