The same {night be said of IWVV. “uâ€" ~___ present. Listening to the contestants in these events one is reminded of the annual recitation at the Sun- day school concert. We believe these speeches so- ~ called are supposed to have been composed by the entrant, but we have heard juveniles delivering ad- dresses and using words of which we are sure they easily remedied. We would suggest that some four or five subjects be chosen early in the season and all scholars informed they would be called on to deliver ' an address upon one of thEm. These addresses should 1 be given without notes, or very few, and the pupil ‘ should not know upon which subject he was to orate until the time came for the contest. This may seem like a hard task for Public school pupils, but the sub- jects need not be too hard. This method would mean the pupil entering the public speaking contest would have to study up in all the subjects chosen, and when his turn came he would have to deliver his address from what he actu- knew of his subject rather than read it from a manuscript. It might mean that the spectators would not be quite so well entertained, but the con- testant would by this method receive the benefit of having learned something of four or five subjectsâ€"- an army of recitationists. some of the otner exnwua. .

Some municipali- ties have passed bylaws against it, while. we have seen in the press opinions expressed that the bylaw could not be enforced. It is to be hoped it can. It is illegal to play baseball, hockey, or any other similar games on Sunday. It is also illegal to run theatres, skating rinks, ar amusement parks in this country on the Lord’s Day. Why, then, should pygmy golf be seen in the press opinions expre could not be enforced. It is to is illegal to play baseball, hockey, games on Sunday. It is also i114 skating rinks, ar amusement p: on the Lord’s Day. Why, then, s immune? .. The stopping of the game on Sunday brings an- | other matter to the fore. If it is to be illegal to play ' miniature golf on Sunday, why should the regular game be allowed? If it is wrong to play one, we should think it is wrong to play the other. A couple ' uths were brought be- fore a magistrate because they had indulged in a game of baseball on Sunday. Not a regular game but one of the sandlot variety, with a couple of pick- up teams, and no spectators. It was a game in which a few of the street children chose up sides. We had a wholesome respect for the magistrate on the bench when he refused to convict them, stating that he would not fine street urchins for engaging in a friendly game of baseball so long as millionaire grown-ups were permitted to golf on Sunday. a summer, Wishes to ' try to visit relatives? "J 'v v -w- Midget golf has given us a new game but from the present outlook it has raised a legal question that shduld have been settled long ago. THOSE WEATHER PROPHETS In one of our last week’s exchanges we read the following: “The long distance weather prognostica- tors have started to give out their predictions for next winter and the first one heard from predicts a mild winter.” Aren’t pe0ple funny? To date we have never met anyone who believed it possible to predict the wea- ther for a month, a week, or a day, in advance. But everybody reads the prOphesies, puts them away and compares them as the seasons pass. We' know the average newspaper editor does not , believe in weather predictions so far as their accuracy is concerned, but they all publish them. Why?

It was the belief of some economists not so long ago that the gold standard should be replaced by another standard and that of a bushel of wheat was we- gested. At that time wheat was a com- modity which varied in price only slightly. Today it wheat was the standard of exchange, the economics of this world would be more upset than it is on account of the wide fluctuations in its value.
