As a consequence y ool houses stand vacant and n of school age are at home or streets deprived of. the train- to fit them for citizen- c trustees chile upon the ing ship, The widespread exodus from the teaching profession imto industrial and commercial pursuits which offer more attractive pay and’ equally liberal working conditions is the cause. nece: Definite stands must be taken by all from the school dis- trict trustees to the national adminis- traton, having charge of educational matters, to correct the situation at any cost in dollars and ts, in so vital a matter to the welfare of the nation. The issue cannot be overestimated. The need for co-operation and assist- ance in physical and moral growth, fron} the individual standpoint, is in- significant as compared to that required for mental development by all but ,ex- ceptional persons. public authorities, the greatest wisdom and best advice, possegged by the cabinet officer; and the knowledge that the American peo- ple expect and demand the higheat de- sree of efficiency ever attained in his respective department of the govern- ment. eo Can anyone imaging any one thing that would inspire greater confidence in our government at Washington than the fact that the eonstituton forbids the wppointment of a one-horse country edi- tor to the important place of secretary of the navy, that a quarter horse-power rural lawyer could not become post- master genera}, that an adyocate of un- preparedness and a sympathizer with conscientious objectors would be deemed the ideal secretary of war, that a dis- tinguished zooligist is fitted by training and experente to be the secretary of commerce? On the sde it may be mentioned that there is a wealth of splendid talent in the country. The present one has not but we are sure the next administra tion will employ some of it.

G., chief justice of Canada, who celebrates his seventy-fifth birthday today, has had a long and distinguished career in the! blic service. A native of Prince Ed-| rd Island, he began to take an active, interest in public affairs soon after be- ing called to the bar, while still in his; early twenties. In 1877, having already attained high standing in his chosen} profession, he was employed as one of| the British counsel before the Interna- tional Fisheries commission, which met at Halifax in what year. . Subsequently he served on severai other important commissicns for the settlement of differ- ences betweep Canada and the United} States. Meanwhile he was gaining prominence in politics, serving in tha jlegislative assembly and becoming pre jmier of Prince Edward Ysland, leader of the Liberal party in the Maritime ; provinces, and, In 1896, entering the |federal government as minister of ma- rine and fisheries under the Laurier ad- Since 1901 he has been a All stores will close one hour earlier (7.a. m.} and close one hour earlier (5 p. m.) on week aye ex- cepting Saturday, when the stores will open at .™m. and close at 8 p.m. This schedule will start Wednes- day morning, May 5, and continue to September 1, or until the closesof the Twilight League.

Ps From the standpoint of the! mass, what is there to be gained foont intense industrial activity and great production unless it really contributes to the wel- fare of the nation? It is of little u: of good will among men and nation’s is accompanied by mutual service and progress. Serious as is the abandonment of the teaching profession, it may be regarded as & less menace than the facts concern- ing school attendance.

Ta which we desire only to add—It sure does! SE APDED CHARMS. The more that comes to light about the treaty of Versailles the more thank- ful the: American people should be to the United States senate that it was not approved. How it happened that Lioyd George and Clemenceau did not succeed in getting the previgion in the treaty is not chargeable ta the astute: ness of Wilson, because the paint would be no more objectionable than many others that did get into the treaty. It now leaks out that England and France proposed, as an article in the treaty that the war debts of the principal al- lied -4nd’ associated, powers be pooled and that all the powers who were en- gaged in the contest become jointly Hable. ‘The scheme failed at the time because the American members of the commis: in school where it belongs.
