Young and Vance A. Statia to Arthur R. Alloway, for- merly of the Oshawa Reformer. The Courier-Advocate is an amalgama- tion of the two old. established Tren- ton newspapers effected Jan. 1st of V thisayear. The Courier was founded in 1866- and the Advocate in 1879. `Trenton has a population of over. 6000 and` is strategically located on A judgment of interest to mun- icipalities was given this week by Judge O'Connell, who awarded the National Sanitarium Association $544 on` their claim of $787 against the City of Sault Ste. Marie for the ' maintenance of a patient. When the young man was admitted, his father became responsible but later notified the hospital that he would be unable to pay for the treatment of his son in addition `to providing for his wife and other children. 1 The hospital then notied the municipality, which has now been held liable for the maintenance. ` The main estimates of Provincial expenditure for the` year ending Oct. 31, 1924, presented to the Legislat- ure this week, show a total of $26.- ,090.778.04, an increase of approx- imately $2,700,000 over last year for the same purposes. Statutory. ex- penditures and supplementary estim- ates will very largely increase these gures. If something is not done to halt the growth of expenditures_ the people of Ontario'must soon be {pre- pared `to face direct 'tax`ation,for Provincial purposes. Further . attacks upon Premier` Drury `by Andrew Hicks, late U.F.O. Whip, have fallen -at. `People will not pay much attention. to the words of a man who has so little sense of honor as to discuss in public caucus proceedings which are always held to `be of a condential nature.

Young Payne became a clerk in a counting house, tried his hand at journalism, but afterwards, through the assistance of a novelist, he took a college course. His father having got into financial difficulties, Payne left college and went on the stage, of which work he made a great success for a` time.

Homework Sudbury -Star: A reasonable amount of homework never hurt any ` school child and allows the educa- tional system to extend its discipline in a small way into the home life of the pupil. As a means to promotion and helping a child get past the exams.,- it is too often abused. Ed- ucationalists realize the faults of the cramming system and many reforms have been installed recently with a view to doing away with this sense- less custom which consists. in effect, of regarding a child as a hollow auto- maton, `to be lled up with knowledge as quickly as possible under threats and cajolings and when pronounced duly full to be sent out to carry on the world's work. mam&&&&mam&&&! +5 AMONG "EXCHANGES 3} ENGLISH SPEAKING wo1u.n' `WILL MARK MAY su.

No more u`nique.personality ever` gured in Canadian journalism than the late John Ross Robertson, found- er and proprietor of the Toronto Tel- egram. A direct descendant of a chief of the Clan Robertson, dating back to the fourteenth century, he was beyond a doubt" Scotch in his ancestry and background, although born in Toronto. Like many another V Ontario lad. this one was educated in Upper Canada College and he never forgot his allegiance to this his alma mater. While a college student, young Robertson.` ever ac- "tive and studious, used his hours in learning the printingtrade, and setup an amateur plant in his - father's house, from which he issued a little college paper that was only a sign of what was to come. The old-time printing offices in Toronto were his haunts, helping to run the i ancient presses, set type and write i fered. locals or leaders as opportunity of- Naturally, he gradually ex- tended his journalistic interests through various modest publications, followed as city editor on more than one daily in succession, thus becom- ing all-round procient in the news- paper business, mechanically and ed- itorially.

ROBERT ALAIRD, 0.12. The Finance Minister of the Pres- ,' byterian` Church in Canada, other- wise officially known as the Church Treasurer, is Rev. Robert Laird, D!` 'D., a well-known minister and leader in thatdenomination. A man, who handles between one and two millions la year of church moneys, which ate 'in g8. peculiar sense trust funds`, with all the knowledge of banking and in- vestments called for in that connec- tion, must have abilities-beyond that of a clergyman in the ordinary ac-p g ceptance of the term, and these qual- ities Dr. Laird has shown he possess- es in marked` degree. After many years in the ministry, occupying im- portant charges in Ontario and the West, Dr. Laird was called to his one of the professorial staff, during which time hundreds of graduates passed through his classes in their preparation for the ministry and are today occupying inuential pulpits throughout the country. His ability led him to be asked to raise a big en- dowment for Queen's, to which he devoted some years and with` full success, helping to put this ne edu- `cational institution- on a sounder n- ancial basis. Later he was selected as the Treas_urer.of the entire Church. . which position he at present holds` and in which he has added to his" for- mer successes as a wise administrator of funds; a valuable member of- the General Board of the Church, and is still a virile and effective preacher. He comes of the best of the stock. that of the Lairds of Prince Edward Island. where the name is an out- standing one. .His father was a min- ister for many decades and his uncle. the Hon.
