Do our readers realize what is being done for the blind in Canada? At 36 Kîng-st., E., Toronto. is located head- quarlers of the Canadian National In stitote for the blind. E. F, Lambert is General Secretary. It is reported that ho Canada are 6,000 blind persins. How sad 10 think of so many being deprived of the sense of sighl!1 Here are some cf the lhings that are being done: Industrial Iraining and empioymentis being pmovided for the blind in centres estabîished in H-alifax, Toronto, Winnipeg and Van- couver. Useful batndicrafts and the read- ing and writing, of embossed characters are taught in the homes of those bind piiopie who for various reasons are un- able te rakte training aI eue of the egular centres. The produet of the homne- workers is bought and soîd. Persoual contact is establisbed with recently blioded persous, and with cases which are sometimes so old that they become new in a verv real sense. This womk ih doue by an experienced Field Agent, Books, magazines, and music in embossed types are circulaled free t0 the blind et Canada. The Instilute also arranges for the transcription of music for any of ils members at cost-price. "«He was always good te hbis men" was the Iribute paid bv a farm hand ai the funeral of bis old master. We atîended the tuneral of a Durham county farmer who owned 200 acres of land soute years ago and conversing with another farmer who for several years when a single man had worked for deceased paid the above tribute t0 bis good qualities of bead and' beart. The clergyman who officiated aI the obsequies said many complimentarv lbings about Ihis faîlbful and loyal mem- ber and officiai of bis cburch but wye have forgotten everv ore-of them. Only the- tribute of the ired -man bas lingered in our memory. We îhought such testîmQny was goider', for the man w ho was aiways good to bis wokmen was in the generai sense a good man. Hence, we agree witb the sacred writer that "A good naine 'fmom one's employees) is better than great riches.". Tbis leads us to say Ihal Ico many employers of labor fail 10 consîder seri- ousiy and svmpatbetically the workman's condition and viewpoint. We believe Ihal more than ever before large industri- ai concerns are of late vears giviug more consideration and attention to the wefare of their employees. Oniv îodav we read et a big Toronto dry goods firm present- ing every member et lis staff wlîh a $500 insurance policy as a Christmas present, Others are preparing lunch rooms, recre- 5h00n rooms, gyranusiums, club rooms, etc., for the exclusive use cf ibeir work- ing men and girls. While considering the conditions of the laboing classes and trying t0 accunt for the frigbtfui prevalence of industrial, strikes, corporation sîrîkes, sympathetîc strikes, and so on, we received an advance proot cf an article soon 10 ap- pear in Deutrborn Independent from wbicb we qucle a fevý questions that wil interest many readers: How much profil dûes a workman reap from bis da's labor? How mucb ougbt he 10 reap ? Does a «"good living" coe under the head of pro t, or is il properiv a part cf the cosl of producing a day's labor ? How far cao human energies be rneasurf d and human values standardî7ed in order that the cosl of a day's labir may be standardized ? We, hope' empioy ers in Bowmanville and elsewbere who read these questions wili give serions thougbt 10 what foliows in rcp'y, for a more than academic inter- est attaches 10 these questions for they are the real, even if unspoken, basis fer mnch cf the irritation and contusion, whîcb exists in the industrial world today. The workingman is beginning 10 undersland that he is in business, dis raw malerial is buman energy. 1115 product is a da 's work. Ail other business men seek a profit above* cost of production, why sbonid not be? The difficultv thus far bas been lu mnakiog cul the cost sheet. How much does il cost to produce a day's work ?-that is the question for which there seems 10 be no satisfactory basicanswer. t is doubîful if one employer in a tbousand ever gives. positive tbought 10 a workman'$ viewpoinl on wbal is invalved ini a day's work 10 hlm, aitho il la perhaps, possible accualy 10 deternine-albeît with consderable interference with the day's work isif-bow much energy the davy's work takes oul of a man. But il is flot aI ail possible to accuratejydetermine how much it will r(qiire 10 put back thaï energy îwo h bm against the next day's demands. Nom is it possible 10 determine bow much cf that expended energy vcu will neyer be able 10 put back at al- add the profit. Can we do that with men ? Ritherý, e'au men do that for teievs se that « eliing a day's work they avili bine asin teliligent an idea cf the cost of tha ay' work and the profit il ought 10 brîn,,g, as any manufacturer ought to0'have of bis produet?

EDITOR TALKS The Port Hope Times in the 80's of the Iqtb century was by long odds the best local newspaper, editorially speaking, in Ibis part of the Province. A decline set in after the death cf J. B. Trayes and for many vears lb was only a faint shadow of is former self. A former Bowman- ville publisher, Mr. James Gale, bas racently become editor and meebanical superintendent and the transformation is truljy wonder ful. Net for manvyeams bas as good an issue of The T imes ap- peared as ibal cf Dec. Ii wben a well balaneed sheet was publisbed witb fine pages containing intcresting local news, a splendid editorial page and the leading business bouses are well represented in the advertising columns with our old frien'ds, Norman E. Jennings and J. L. Westaway, boîb West Durham Oid Boys also occupying the preferred positions. We hope Ibis is the hegînning of better days for The Times. What an inspiration il sbould be from lime to ime 10 the hundreds cf young farmers and growing boys of 12 years and upwards in farm homes to read in The James Papers of the succescf tb* members cf the junior Farmers' Improve- meut Association at the varions competi- lions in which Ihev engage during tbe year. Sports are a necessary part of a boys' educalion but the usetul and practicai qualifications in life's sphere of activilies. wbetber in city, town or country, must net be. subordmnated by the realm cf sports and amusemeuts. Whaî a prîde and deligbt n ot .nly 10 the suc- ce>sful young men Ihemseîves but ta Ibeir parents, relatives, friends and neighbors 10 know of their progress and success wben they enter int competitions c-f a Provincial ebaracter and their naines are recorded among the winners. rhese tbougbts coursed îbrough our brain at we read the report cf the live stock judging aI Guelph Winter Fair whicb we pubaish bib tis issue. One of the most beneficial and belpful organizations for boys and young men is a weil couducted beys' cooference Fammers arc cucouraged by Government assistance in varions ways to ituprove byve stock. seeci grain, drainage etc , and women's institutes are similarly heiped te improve conditions in their bornes and surrouudings. The Drurv Govemnment mighî we]l take early action to encourage financiaily and olherwise the holding cf boys' conferences in conve-nient centres cf access. We are glad 10 Ieamn that a Boys' Conference will be held in Belleville under the direction cf the advisory comn- mittee for co-operation in boys' work January 30, 31, and February Ist. Ful partieulars ne the conference can be had by writing to Angus Buchananî, Boys' W'ork Secretarv, Y. M. C. A., Belleville, Ont, Durham county cornes in the îerritory covered bv Ibis conference, and we hope wilIIbe well represented alhbo the place cf meeting la somewbat distant. R. H.
