The shock is due to the fact that this big business been developing slowly and is today one the hfe,lt business ventures in an individâ€" ‘s life. While the statements made may e been put forth in their most exaggerâ€" lif;t, it is true that all professional ve become so organized that they reguire their scouts to enroll those who show armw ability, as prospects when they are in &m.ry or secondary schools. Baseball has m doing this for years; football has been glng it to a limited extent; hockey has beâ€" e the great pastime requiring players u’i therefore, have perfected their system. It! certainly is something that s‘houl‘d be nsn the boy who went for athletics bought his own equipment, trained himself and was in‘it for the love of the sport. It was evident that this has all changed and the golden dAdhrtlis the allubr; ‘for ]sport chamloit;nshit;ls. ies are absolutely essential for the dfi:oumnt of a nation, they coâ€"ordinate all It! certainly is something that should be guarded against, so that a boy is not enslaved orbecome inflated with his athletic ability to the detriment of his schooling and business Jt is well that this matter has been forceâ€" fully drawn to the attention of the public, as fg a number of years there has been considâ€" le feeling against the signing up of these mnz boys to contracts. Those in the busiâ€" can not be blamed, because of the comâ€" m they have been forced to protect mselves for the future. Professional sport today is big business and puts a lot of money inscirculation. In the old days fifty od(‘l years Â¥hose men and women who a few years o .yrefi:d extensive plans for express subways, depressed roads and broad ays, certainly knew what they were about. They estimated the increased lation, the increased traffic and the inâ€" hazards of the old system. Today we ing more than ever the great need for arteries and a better method of handling fic.

The lights are an improvement on dling the traffic by manual labor. Keele ;Annette streets suffer during rush hours ‘during the daytime Jane and Bloor, Dunâ€" ‘and Bloor, Keele and Dundas all demand intion. Traffic regulations and the handâ€" : of traffic have been studied by our prts and they are endeavouring to bring force the latest and most improved }\ods used in the larger cities on this conâ€" mt. However, public opinion must face issue sooner or later and plans, such as gested by the planners two years ago must ut into effect in order to solve the great inted M a6 ”!M unen Ppvbane ho o BUSINESS VENTURES now thyself" is a very important phrase. more than an important phrase; it is rative to the success of the individual in How few people really know themselves hers see them.

The whole of our educational associates and environments calls for production, a rush and bustle day in day out. No time for quiet meditation, analysis, just that continual drive ifter day.

To meet this challenge he told of the amazing steps the Los Angeles Board of Education have taken and quoted a W&h from their statement of policy: "The ools of the democratic nations must, therefore, teach their future leaders the democratic point of view which is based on moral and spiritual concepts. We look to our educators to teach . . . the simple basic principles of (a) sound moral standards, (b) faith in God, (c) respect for human dignity."

A few days later a California school prinâ€" cipal spoke at a conference on "Education‘s part in this ideological age." "The function of education in an ideological age is to train men and women to step out of the classroom into the heart of the nation to answer its needs," he declared. One teacher brought four of her pupils as "visual aids." For the past six months she has been teaching 300 high school students each day not only the ideas of democracy, but how they can be apâ€" plied at home and school. A university professor described the vicious battle for control raging on his camâ€" pus, and then introduced two of his students, a former big league player and his wife. "My professor has given me an ideology, fighting spirit, and a reason why there should be a living democracy," said this student. He told how their class had found "a positive workâ€" ing basis" rather than being bogged down by "paralysis of analysis." When his wife, a first grade teacher, introduced the idea of absolute standards into the classroom, parâ€" ents called up to inquire what had caused ;heir children to behave so differently at ome. "I place economy among the first and most important virtues, and public debt as the greatest of dangers to be feared. To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our choice between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. . If we run into such debts, we must be taxed in our meat and drink, in our necessities and in our comforts, in our labors and in our amusements. If we can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy. The same prudence, which in private life would forbid our paying our money for unexplained projects, forbids it in the disposition of public money. We are endeavouring to reduce the government to the practice of rigid economy to avoid burdening the people and arming the magistrate with a patronage of money which might be used to corrupt the p’xciples of our government." ECONOMY AND DEBT There are a few great documents, which contain so much wisdom that they can bear endless repeating. Here is an example: The man who wrote this was not some reâ€" actionary believer in an old system of society. He was no enemy of the masses of the workers. He was not a great capitalist, tryâ€" ing to maintain special privilege, nor was he the heir of a great fortune trying to preserve it. He was the first of the great democrats of North America, a man whose name is commemorated and revered by all believers in human liberty. His is a name permanently linked in history with the struggle against oppression. _ â€" oo The words were written by Thomas Jefferson. Long hours of da{’li'ht mean more outdoor time for children. Motorists should pfl;o the youngsters phyir;’ on the streets ty of time to get out of their way. They should slow down before coming to any likelfilpot where children might be playint A child canâ€" not always leap to safety at the sound of a What a transformation in the last few days, what a wealth of beauty and loveliness in color has been produced by the rays of the sun and the warm zephyr breezes. What a magnificent display the magnolia trees have taken on, and as you see the beds of tulips, daffodils and all the other flowers backed by the green grass and trees, are they not beauâ€" tiful and an inspiration, and above all do they not tell the story of the resurrection; the story that God does reign and sends the gentle rain and the sunshine and the seasons of ~the year for the development of this beauty. We, in this community are surroundâ€" ed by such environment and inspiration. The Ontario Government has given new recognition to its obligation to aid in taking care of aged citizens of this province by unâ€" dertaking to pay municipalities oneâ€"half of the cost of maintenance of municipal homes for the aged, as well as to pay 50% of the cost of new construction on such homes. These measures should provide zsome relief for hardâ€"pressed municipalities which have found the homes an increasing financial burâ€" den in recent years. EARLY SUMMER BEAUTY EDITORIAL BRIEFS The Mt. Dennis Corps will be specially favoured ‘next Sunday with a visit from Colonel and Mrs. Salvation Army R. T. Spooner, principals of the Salvation Army Officers‘ Training College in Toronto, and a group of Cadetâ€"students.
