To occupy Spare Time In conclusion let us consider an ar- gument very often heard in opposition to this training. We did not have those things thirty years ago. The person who makes statements of this kind is not doing much thinking. Through the invention and development of ma- chinery and business met eds .a. man can produce today in eigli `hours the same results that would require twelve to fourteen hours thirty years ago`.

HIGHWAYS bb v EAR---' SaysHor1V.Henry ; To` Consider `Banie-CQ11ingwood Road V Among First. Addressing the Collingwood Board of `Trade last week the Hon.~ G; '8. Henry, Minister of Highways. stated that no additional mileage would be added to the Provincial Highway Sys- ` term `in `.i`9'26.w but when the system is _ lingwood would be . among the first considered. In his. introductory re- marks, Mr. Henry said he didn't in- tend to make rash promises.

Whilef. some laws were not very well observed| `he believed therewere no traftic laws I `but what should-be observed. They had` required a fairly restricted speed limit but their officers were not very par- ticular. a_bout the excessoi. a mile or two. Frequently when the "charge read! 26 miles the driver was actually going 30 or 35 miles an hour. some would eli- minate. the speed limit. He did. not agree with this view and uted a case in which a Marmon car left far in the rear an officer on a motorcycle -going 65 miles an hour. He also spoke of other minor but important require- ments such as two headlights.-a bril- liancy of not more than 21 candle power. the proper focus. He believed that `a shield wiper of some kind ought to be required and suggested as his own idea that one strong headlight on the right side with a dim one on the left would be an improvement.` He .9... u as: his oninion that certainl 1'1-!URSl`5AY. rizskuanv 25., 11926. -local and were contributing towards left Would be an improvement. nu . gave it as his opinion that certain . garages would be licensed to check up ; on the lights. . ` Highway Ideas 'Revolutionized During the last 20 or 25 years the ` ideas of highways had been revolu- tionized. In former days roads were built to serve the local community with the idea ot.not more than half a day's Journey. Now a jaunt of 50 or 75 miles after supper was a common thing. `and today people are travelling by motor from Winnipeg to Florida and Califor- . nia. This in itselt. not to speak of trucks and buses, was creating pro- blems. In Ontario he felt that the sit- uation was being taken care or fairly well. We had probably a greater mile- age of good roads for the area covered than any-`place on the continent. The province recognized its responsibility to take care of traffic, that was not the cost or 50,0 0 miles of road. Every municipality in the province.` excepting those which still held` to the old custom . ' of statute "labor, was receiving help. Townships spending . $7 themselves were given $3 by the province. Counties: were assisted on a fifty-fifty basis and] up to the present the provincial auth- orities-had accepted the program ot the county without question. In the future \ this policy would not be followed. but u... nrn2'rn.m would be examined care- uua puny; vvuuu. V the program would fully. Generally speaking the counties had too much mileage with the result that roads most necessary had not re- ceived the attention they deserved. In this respect Simcoe was one of the_ greatest sinners and \ the mileage should be reduced one half. They were recommending a reductionin the whole rovince of about 25 or 80 per cent. on etween two on three hundred miles and h_e predicted a vast-improvement. There were 1800 miles in the provincial system towards the cost of which /the province contributed 80 per cent. Up to 1920 the province had assumed the re- sponsibility for about four or five hun- 'dred miles. During Mr. Biggs"term of office this had been increased to over 1800 miles. Not all of this had been graded, and on about half some form of pavement had been built. NOW open FOR Busmnss AT MICKLE. DYMENTS 0.1-I? $TA.NDa '?WF9RD ST- Illpvllaavn w v-- ..___.-...

Then, again, there is a fault which; lies in the parents. They discourage" rather than encourage a. training inl this line of music. because they are; atrz-Lid that it will occupy too much of{` the boy's or girl's time and they may; not have suffidient time for recreation. which. I think is a mistake. Another impression is that it is for older men," that it requires strong physique to play a. wind instrument. This is an error. for, with the scientific and modern method_s a. boy or even a. girl from 103 to 15 years of age can learn to play as well as older people. ` Speaking of the asset in future life. in nu nnnsmer what instrumental mu- . t START!

So if for no other reason, then, instrumental music is of value if it accomplishes no more than the occupation of time. or the consumption of leisure. If we study the lives of criminals we will find invar- iablyi they spent their boyhood days in idleness. -"A ___- _.........1.. +1..` Iliynu nf 1-ho mnqf m luleucaa. If we search the lives of_the most succesful men and women we will find in their childhood d'ays they had to hustle from morning to_ night. Mothers, do not forget that occupation of time is a` builder of character. Playing in a` band or orchestra is different from playing alone; it re- ~ quires concentration. alertness, prompt- ness, carefulness and real thought- fulness. Organization music trains the r,. yes and every function of the body. We `must -be quick and accurate . when reading music, the pupil must think in rhythm and the mind must be alert. Ban_d and orchestra playing will` develop_ team `work among` students, {I and has no equal in bringing aboutti common group feeling. Value of Team Work . . Then -again-team work--the greata est asset` in any ,life. You must agree with me; no matter what kind of work he or she may enter, thevprogress is largely governed by hoyv well they get along with those with whom they are working. Theymay be equipped tech- nically beyond a fault, but if unable.to co.-operate, failure will result. due to lack, of_ team work. Through their training in band or orchestra this is ' acquired unconsciously and retained i all through life. ` I am willing to admit there are ex- fceptions to the rule;. but, remember, I am speaking of men who haveqbeen trained when boys, under proper tui- 6|:-in , Lruuu tion.
