Part of this plan is laudable, tb my mind, for there is no better place than ¢he public schools to teach respect and obedience for laws. But it is unwise to create this amateur detective force. “Not long ago it was suggested that ministers should enlist as aids to the dry officers, but this plan met with a general rebuff from the clergy, who did not think that it was a part of their ministerial duties to spy on members of their congregation. They further refused to embarrass them- selves by creating the suspicion that in their visitations to homes of their Bizemionere they were also acting as jovernment agents.” . . HE THINKS WE'RE PATIENT. “I cannot help admiring you New Yorkers,” confessed George Wright of Toronto, who is at the Commodore. “In the subway rush you are trampled on, knocked about, but even when’ you lose your ‘hats or glasses, you soon forget it. My one complaint abdut your city is the discourtesy of the subway guards; that is the limit. In Toronto we are doing our best to overcome lack ‘of politeness on the part of the rail- way men. They are instructed on the subject, and made to re- alize that the person who pays his fare is a customer, who must be treated as such." FARTHEST FROM HOME.
