Dillick, Duke-st.. just opposite CVanning1 THE EDITOR TALKS There is altogether too littie at- tention given te debating in the var- ious organizations for young people. Epworth Leagues, Fanmers and Wom- en's Institutes, Canadian Clubs, Men's Brotherhoods and many othe: societies would find debatîng an at- tractive, profitable and educative pastime. Referring to the Inter- Collegiate debate at Whitby on Feb- ruary 3, The Gazette-Chronicle ha this sensible editorial comment: De- ba ing is a phaseof school life thal should be encouraged and expanded it develops the thinking faculties tE Pan unusual degree, trains the pupil to reason out matters to a legical con- clusion, to speak wvell, to think coolý and clearly while facing an audience, and to view matters from a broad and impartial slandpoint. We believE that debates between the classes of the High School would be of muci advantage to the pupils, and would Lbear directly on their improvement in the subjects studied. Few if any activities are so beneficial, froni an academic viewpoint, as debating. There shonld be more of it, flot only in the sehools, but in social anc churcli erganizations. Probably very few of our readers ever give a thought of the task thai faces us almost every week and at times several times a week to write or edit the obituaries that are pull- lished in this journal. To assemble leading facts about a man or wom- an's whole if e and character is often a very difficult undertaking, unless their friends are so thonghtful, as many are, as to provide us with such information at the very earliest pos- sible moment. For instance, we gave a very complete sketch of Sen- ator Beith's life and work whic-h, al- tho we knew hlm intimately, 'and his friends suppiied such information as we asked for, was no ordinary taskas wehave not often gone s0 mînutely into the details of a per- son's history and particulars of, his deatýh and burial. An unusualiy large number of obituaries-eight in ail-appeared in our last issue, en- tailing more or less workon the edi- tors. We caîl attention to this mat- ter to let people know that we must be given the information by friends or we cannot write very complete obituaries, for wbile we may know the party intimately there are dates and facts, particulars of the funer- ai, and so forth, that must be fur- nished. We do not care to publish obituaries a mohtb after the death of the subject, se aiways furnish the usual particulars promptly. We shared the honor on Frîday, February 3 witb a young legal gentle- man of Oshawa and the editor and puiýlisher of Wbitby of being asked to judge at the Inter-Coliegiate de- bate bietwen two students' of Osh- awa- Collegiate Institute on the affirmative sîde against two from WhitbyCollegiate on the negative side.. It was no easy task, believe us, for the four addresses were al of a very high character and well delivered. We eall attention to the debate here because we desire to pay a just tnibute to the students whose efforts would compare most favorabiy with those of men of long experience and higher education. Thousands of people have paid substantial admis- sion fEýes to hear lectures containing Less information and of a more rneagre educational value. When girlsand boys in their middle teens ian prepare such able and instructive addresses and stand counageously be- fore a large audience and in a clear, ipressive and intelligent manner deliver theni with commendabie or- atorical effeet they bring a distinctive honor to theniseives and to their teachens and schools. We were vry preud of these young students and we are very sure their teachers, schoolmates. relatives and friends who heard theni wene proud of theni too. The addresses were worthy of the largest hall in Whitby and the, presence cf ail of its citizens. Osh- awa students won the decision by a very narrow margin, se that the final contest cornesoff in Bowmanvilie at adate to be fixed when we hope our ,itizens will turn out in large nuni- bers to hear what two students of oun High Sehool can do against Osh- awa's intellectual orators.

THE CANADA LANDED AND NATIONAL INVESTMENT CO'S. SUCCESSFUL YEAR. References to'Dr. John Hoskin, K. C., For M.any Years Its President. Mr. W. B.* Couch of this tewn at- tended the annual meeting of The Canada Landed and National Invest- ment Ce., Limited, at the offices of' the Company, 23 Toronto-st., on Feb-ý sruary 8. The Directers said in their -report for 1921, we record with re- Sgret the death of Dr. John Heekin who bad been connected witb the Company since 1871 and became its President in 1912. is many years of service were singnlarly valuable. The President, Mr.__D.,. E. Thom- son, K. C3., LL. D., in moving the adoption of the. report spoke in part as follows: Gentlemen,-The dominant feeling common te ail of ns to-day donbtless is that the keen regret for the jpassing of my predecessor. Dr. Hoskin was a man of many fmuitfula.ctivities, but it is saf e te rsay that none of the other enterprises 1witb whicb he was connected appeal- ed more strongly than did the Can- ada Landed & National Investment Company te his interest and bis pride. The aft'airs of this Company always received bis careful attention. êHe gloried in its prudent management and in its continned success. The report 1 have the honor te move the adoption of to-day certainly affords evidence that Dr. Heskin's pride in the Company was jnstified. The eminently satisfactory resuit of the year's operations has been achieved in, the face of some dis- couraging conditions. High interest rates prevailed in Scotland throngb- eut the year. The scarcity of ap- plications in Canada for mortgage boans continued until near the close of the year. Moreover, the serions faîl in price of the preducts of agri- cul ture materially interfered with the fammer's'ability te pay. The fact that, netwiýtbstanding this condition, our collections have been quite satis- factory is the best evidence that our business bas been most carefully se- lected. Considerable progress bjas been made, especially during the -latter part of tbe year, toward resteration of the world's normal financial con- dition. There is, however, still mucb te be accomplished, and in harmony wi b the prudent policy of the past the Directors have transferred the surplus earnings te the credit of the Reserve Fund. The transfer of bhe substantial suni of $95,000 brings that fund up te $1,450,000, heing equal te 120% of the paid-up capi- tal. Mm. F. W. Harcourt, on. rising te second tbe motion, said: "We ail ap- preciate, and I myseif am grateful te yen, Mr. President, for your kind references te yonr predecessor. Some furty years have rolled by since I first entered the law office of Dr. Hos- kmn and I am stili bere. Mm. Spence had been With bum over fifty years, Mr. Loveys over forty years. We bad -a conference after Dr. Hoskin's deatb and we failed te remember any oc- casion on wbich he had said an unkind word te any of ns. He was a strong pemsonality, had great courage, keen foresigbt, sound judgment and was eminently a just man. Tbongb ai- ways looking after bis own interests, he neyer was unfair te others, and sncb n'as his reputatien that no one wonld refuse te, accept bis word. I amn always filled witb admiration, tempered witb a certain.,ameunt of ieaiousy, wben our President takes his pen in band. Everything he writes is elequent without fiamboy- sncy and comprebensive witbont be- ing tedions. He, in bis address te you, has said everything he should say and nothing that he sbeuld net say and bas said it gracefully. It is a ýmarvel te me, taking into consideratien the cruel wasteof hie, property, labor and tume that hias HIGH SCHOOLS DEBATE Bowmanviîle Students Pitted Agaiast Oshawa.

A fine piano accustoms the impressionable ear of youth to tone perfect- ion,while a poor piano deadens, the fine percep- tions. As a furnishing for the home, the Do- minion is a masterpiece of the cabinet-maker's art. Its perfection of form appeals no less than its perfection of tone. The Dominion tradition is to make the finest possible piano and seil it at the lowest possible price and upon the easiest possible terms. And for this reason, the Dominion. can be purchased at a price which probably will surprise you by its moderation and upon terms that will relievb the purchase of inconvenience. F. J.
