The second mousse is from Mr. M. W. Batty. KC., who is President ot the Canadian Paeitie Railway, and also President ot the Bor Scouts Assad:- tion. He says: "it is gratifying to think that so the a movement as that ot the Boy Scout. has captured the lmaglnalon ot the youth of the world and become so truly international. For Canada it to peculiarly tttted, an the oampcratt which it teaches is so well suited to our geographical conditions. Nothing could be better than its gospel ot salt- reliance, trtsit-respect, untrotiitslttgetrtr, and the pledge to help others whatever it may cost; moreover, it appeals to the boy, " he gets a lot ot tun out of this process ot developing the spirit ot true sportsmanship. The qualities' inculcated are the qualities of the good citizen and one is not surprised that another name for a good citizen in ‘a good Scout'." _ Space will not permit us this week to contlnuo our "Camp Hints" very fully, but we will content ourselves with reminding all Lone Scout Camp- ers that "A Scout's duty is to be use- ful and to help others." Here are a few ot the things which" last year's Boy Scout Campers did as their "Good Turns": Cat and burned all weeds on camp property, repaired nearby road, cleaned refuse from near- try tteld, put up signs " dangerous places on road. built protecting fence around plot ot young trees, built a stairway leading to beach, built a fire- place tor neighboring campers. helped newly arrived cottage" to get settled, took neighbors' mail to and from post trmctr, erected small bridge for farmer, made rustic seats tor a farmer. helped farmer dip sheep. assisted short- handed farmer with chores and crops, found lust cattle. made winter wood- pile tor farmer who loaned camp site. helped at country church garden party, eat weeds and tidied up around coun- try church. made rustic seats tor country churchyard. made seats near a bus stop. put out bush fires, guarded timber limits against tire, gathered firewood tor future campers.

We tend to swing too swiftly trom optimism to pessimism declared Sir Arthur Salter. formerly director or the League ot Nations’ Economic and Finance Section, speaking at the luncheon ot Columbia Alumni. We swing trom complacency to panic. It is Just those who, in 1929, said that we were in a new economic on. that there would be no more depres- sions, who are now in the blackeat ot pessimism. In 1929 there were needed people to any. “Steady! Things are not al- ways going to be so good." Amt now people are needed who will any. “Sieidy! Things will not alwan be so bad as they are now." This tendency is also true of the world political situation. It la those who in times ot calm so about car ing, "War is unthinkable." that lay in times ot danger that war is inevi- table, Iupport policies that bring It nearer and press their countries to precipitate action. Only recently there has been much mischievous talk of the possibility ot immediate and Imminent war. This is not true, but such talk cro- ates situations and exaggeratee. un- important ones.

By 1200 every educated men was expected to know three languages ---Entrlish, French and Latin. Eng- lish was the common speech, French the language ot polite life and litera- ture, Latin the scholar', tongue. in the thirteenth century, Robert ot Gloucester wrote in English a Rhym- ed Chronicle on Britain. Professor Lounabury gives us some lines ot it, in modern English: "Por unless a man knows French, he is little thought of, But low men keep to English and to their own speech." From 1272. when Edward I was crowned, to the close ot the tttteertth century, French was used in public! acts. . . . I In the fourteenth century. tor a. scholar to write in English took a degree of courage which may easily be underrated now. But this coup. age on the part at two great writ- ers did much to shape the first liter. ary English, In spite ot the scorn ot scholars who lacked insight into the vast pos- sibilities of English and still used French and Latin. Wycllt and Chau- cer came forward as the fathers of English llterature. Wyclit tttslid his English translation ot the Scrlp- tures in 1380. and it is to him that we owe much ot the simplicity and force and pecullar beauty ot later trattsltstiotta ot the Bible. What Wyclit did for the language and literature ot religion, Chaucer did tor poetry and letters. Before this, no one dreamed ot the power and beauty latent in the English language. . . .
