Boothville. ) Canada is to us the best and great- est country in the world. It. pleases us to hear of development and growth in other countries, but our first in tel-eats are and should be with our beloved Dominion. And our land in extent, resources. and beauty is one of which any peo- ple might be proud, Canada extends from the Atlantic to the L’acific and has an area of over three million six hundred thousand square miles. In this vast territory there are thousands of square miles whose resources are entirely un- known, thousands of square miles whose resources are only in the early stages of development. and thousands whose development but serves to show limitless resources. But this is not all we have to be proud of as Canadians. To .no other land in the world has there fallen such a dower of beauty as to our “Land of the Maple,” with its great chain of rivers and lakes, its vast prairies, its foot hill country. culmin- ating in its mountain ranges where “Our Queen of the Summers” and “Our Lady ot the Snows” combine forces to produce scene after scene of unsurpassed grandeurr It was my privilege during the va- cation to see something of our WeSt- ern Country. An American woman who had travelled extensively through the western part of the con- tinent, after describing the various places she had been, said “No route that I passed over afiorded as grand scenery as the Canadian Rockies, and a party of tourists, who had visited EurOpe, were in the same coach with me on that particular route and they made the remark that neither Switz- erland nor any other European coun try equalled Western Canada in na~ tural beauty. But though the extent, resources and beauty of a country may give space, scope and inspiration to its inhabitants. they (to not make a great, great nation. The North American Indians, at one time, had undisputed possession of this country, but they were never a great peOple. After all, the chief factor in a nation’s greatness is her sons and daughters. And what are some of the qualities which we wiehto possess and retain to further our Dominion‘e beet inter- ests ? The Roman nation was at its zenith when her people paid strictest atten- tion to the physical development of the body, when we find them habitu- ally engaging in athletic sports and paying strictest attention to the laws of cleanliness and heai’th. And we. though we do not wish to carve out Empire with the sword, want our citizens a strong, vigorous people, broad shouldered. full chested, mus- cular. erect, having bodies which are in themselves a preventive of dis- ease. HE TEACHERS RESPONSIBILI- TY AS A CANADIAN CITIZEN. Combined with bodily power and: closely dependent on it is another requisite, Mentul strength. Where the body of the people give attention to weigh carefully and understand the affairs of the school, province and nation; where their )udg ments are unbiased. broad, fair. clear and hon- ornble, there we prophecy universal ;proeperity. But of even greater value to the nation is Moral Strength. Take for example Martin Luther and we see what moral strength in one man has done for a country, has done for the; world. Then let us look once again at the Roman nation; we see her gradually lose her moral prestige, her people given over to intemper- ance, dishonesty, vice and self gratifi- cation in its many forms and natural- ly follows her physical, intellectual and national decline. Then twined and intertwined with Physical, Mental and Moral Strength must be the binding chain, Patriot- !sm,-â€"that fervid love of country.‘ which makes men ready to sacrifice pleasure, leisure. wealth and life it-l self if need be. that devotion which says not “What my Country does is Right,” but which does its part to make “My Country Ever Right,” that feeling which made Champlain labour so nnselfishly, with so little harm Department.

We have all of as probably noticed in the difl'ereut places we have been a dif ference in the common standard physically. mentally and morally. Perhaps same of us have met with peOple whose beliefs were simpiy and solely a family legacy. whose ideas of truth and honesty were like that of the Spartan. not to be caught, whose virtue was of the order of those for whom “the sun writeth laws," whose patriotism was never sin the wav of their personal benefit iand to whom the flag was an item of .exuavagance. And where lies the best chance for bettering these con- ditions ? ”The child is father to the man;” the school makes the commun- ity, the communities the nation, and the teacher makes or nnmakes' the school. I do not mean to say that a teacher can mould a child to any- thing he wishes, but looking at our own eXperience we all know how much our teachers had to do with forming our ideals That a child may be mentally] Istrong. none of the powers of the; mind mus?- be neglected. for example,‘ it may be easier and quicker to write} out history notes for pupils than to .spend class time in leading them to lpick out the important points for themselves. In the first case, the child may be able to recite more his- ltory, but the teaching of a child to :do will not be lost on him in later years. The reading of Current Events as well as of History is of use in developing an interest in public afiairs. and the discussions of the same may be conducted so as to do much toward making achild, unbias ed, broad. and fair in his judgments. In what way can the teacher helpl the physical well being of the child ?* First in importance is the heating‘ and ventilating. Insisting on correct position in sitting and standing, and correct habits of breathing are of value to the child. Habits of neatness and cleanliness may be fostered. The present curriculum gives freedom to make the study of physiologv as practical as possible. that is to teach it in order that the child may intelli- gently care for the body. In short, the school should be so conducted that it may be a benefit rather than a hindrance to the physical stren th; so that the mind he not cultivate at the expense of bodily strength. Opportunities for cultivating Moral Strength are,numerous. One of the best things for this is, obedience, that is when the force compelling it is from within, not from without, when the child is led to realize it is, his duty to obey and yields obediencej on that account. Literature, bi- ography and history abound with examples of ready obedience, hero- ism, purity. bravery and truth. These have their moulding effects when the pupils attention is drawn |to them, for if our ideals are high lthey will surely tend to raise us. And another thing tending to make good citizens and to inculeate love of country, is a knowledge of the land wherein we dwell. The lady, whom I mentioned before, in Speaking of her visit to Yellowstone Park and the Grand Canyon of Colorada. said “Since I was a child at school it had been the dream of my life to see Our National Park and the Grand Canyon and I was not disappointed in their , beauty." Just then I experienced a {somewhat guilty feeling as to how much my pupils knew of Banfi Na-i tional Park although it is the largest‘ in the world and has been not in- appropriately called, “The Play- ground of the World.” After I got home I took an annotated time table and read up the description of the National Park. Then I found a further descriptson of it in the THE DURHAM CHRONICLE “Globe supptement” end I intend henceforth. that my pupils shall know we hme a National Park and also something: nbmr. 1c. And be. sides knowing of tile extent. resources and beauty of a century. a knowledge of the struggles and difficultiesof the hex-0e; wt!" helped make the nation what it is. is inepiring. And on par with n krmwtedge ofour heroes should be a knowledge of the flag it- self, the Cauculiau ensign as well as the Union Jack and something of the ensigns of our sister colonies. When! an interest is fair. in the flag. pleasure' Will be taken in knowing its history. Patriotic .songs and exercises in which the flag is used are enjoyed by the children and help to deveIOp .love of oo'fintry. On Empire Day we iheve a. special Opportunity for in- dulging our patriOtic fervor and it lies chiefly with the teachers how much patriotic fervor there is to in- dulge in the schoolâ€"our later day Icommunity. Aremark made by a girl of our neighboring country after she had been in Canada some time of “Why I always thought before Canadians were anxious to join with United States,” made me wonder if that were a common idea in that country. Is it possible that the great influx of Americans, who are so intensely pat riotic, can ever seriously taint our Canadian loyalty? Did the war of 1812 not effectually teach the United States that they could not make Can- adians fall in line with their ideas of freedom and that “A Southerner never shall place his heel on the men of the Northern Zone." The Canadian people and states- men of today have to deal with many questions of grave importance to the nation and the people and statesmen of the in me will have further questions to deal with. The nation entrusts to the teacher a vast responsibility in the training at her future citizens, to deal intelligentiy, loyally and righteously with these questions. It matters much to our dominion that we as Canadian citiz- ens fully realize what it means to each of us, for SCHOOL LIBRARIESâ€"SELECTION OF BOOKS AND HOW TO USE THEM. ( By Miss Annie G. Clark. Louise.) The habit of reading good books has been the making of many men. We find in reading the biographies of successful men that much ot the in- spiration that spurred them on to success was, with many of them. re- ceived from some good literature read in youth or early manhood. The great intellects of the last century are those which have been nourished in childhood upon a few good books. It is very important that our pupils acquire the habit of reading. The minds of children. like their bodies, must be fed. If they are well led, they will grow strong and healthy. but if they are poorly fed they will become stunted and weak. How many children’s minds are improperly fed! But it is gratifying to know that many of our schools already have libraries and that many more are getting them with the pro- spect that the proper mental nourish- ment will eventually be supplied to all children. It has been generally supposed that as lar as social. intellectual and relig- ious advantages are concerned, the town is in advance of the country; but it may be fairly questioned whether there is any barrier to seri- ously hinder the full development of social and intellectual life in the country. Something should be done to quicken and lead out the intellect- ;ual life of the country. The first thing needed is a widening of the horizon and a larger outlook on hu- man interests. We know that in many parts of the country, reading is confined almost entirely to the Bible and the newspaper. and it is well if the Bible can hold its own in the competition. Why should the rural school library not step in and occupy a portion of the space now improperly filled by the newspaper, and if children acquire a habit of reading good books they will retain it in after life? The first problem is, how to secure the school library. I Will not state how the money is to be raised. but it 18 not hard to get a library when the teacher, pupils and parents all want it. The teacher should' try to so teach that the trustees, parents and pupils will see that a library is indis- pensable. The teacher has more to do with children’s reading than most teachers are. aware of. It is a high royfll privilege to be consulted about a child’s reading. and it is one that should never be abused. Therefore great care should be exercised in se- lecting the books for a school library. as money is often wasted in buyinK poor books. The companionship one chooses in life h a strong index of character. and the same thing is true in record to books. Never was there a wider range oi selection than st the Present time. The most dansfil'onfl species of literature is not alweyl the coarse and vile, but the selmlltiolltl trash that pictures vice in slowins but {also colors. These, and child- ren’s books of the most fascinatink type, flood the counters oi booksell- ,ers. Books of this kind, it :09!!! to no." "mph-on 010909;.

The children should be led to underscand that the heat and most permanent literature in thet which is Preserved for themin good books and lHat in periodicals and magazines. n1- ithough they. too, may have a place. How to use the library is another vital part of the library question. _ What will it profit a man if he have all the books in all the libraries and do non use them? Books of themselves avail nothing. It is in their use that We? accomplish good. One can not 80% Pupils to read by lecturing to themgn the importance of good read ing. In teaching literature, for in' stance. one might make suggestions of certain books that may be bearing upon the poem or character they are ‘ studying. Our aim in teaching liter- ature is to cultivate in our pupils a love for the beautiful, the true and the good; to fill their minds with noble aspirations and lofty ideals. But in order to accomplish these. it is necessary that the teacher should have due preparation for her work. Hence. we should give due time to reading ourselves in order to elimin. ate the commonplace and useless books and suggest the proper ones to our pupils. Much interest may be aroused in pupils by telling them lit- tle stories about the author they are studying and then refer them to books or poems written by the same author. All boys love power and admirei every exhibition of personal and na'! tional strength. They admire the heroes whose names are immortalized upon the pages of history, but many { of them may conceive the notion that‘ the wearing of a uniform. the carry- ing of a sword or a gun, the shedding of blood, and the acquisition of mili- tary renown are the only ways in which a boy may really distinguish himself in life But if such books as “Men who win.” by William L. Lay-r er, “The Life of David Livingstone,” and other biographies, were placed in the hands of boys they would be led to see that men may become “heroes” without going to war. if they only ‘will. and while it would be wrong to minimize the sacrifices and services got the army and navy, it might be wise to emphasize the victories of 'peace above the victories of war and to show them that the poet, the ar tiat, the inventor and the statesman may have a place almost as conspicu- one in the temple of fame as that oc copied by the victorious general or the successful admiral.
