With the abolition of the apprentice system came the factory system. It has its divisions of labour, one de pending upon the other, and all de 'veloping a class. of workmen that cannot find profitable service oulside of its chosen syhere. The employers are looking for the help that produces a certain article or kind of goods quickly. They have not the time, and some have not the] inclination, to develop artizans.

And these addresses are not answering the purpose for which they were designed if they do not arouse a great public interest and set the peo- ple thinking. Here, at a noon-hour luncheon, business men congregate. They have an attractive menu laid be fore them, they discuss itsfeatures, and then, at ease, hear some one talk out {of 'a full heart and in a helpful way. Mr. Cahan's speech was a vision of the future into which he looked, and following which he sketches the fortunes of Canada. Col. Smith's speech was reminiscent, and one is the better usu- ally of 'a hali, a session of meditation, a contemplation of certain mile stones that have been passed, and a consider: ation of the lessons they suggest. There will be a lull in the work of the Canadian Club during the summer months. When the fall campaign is opened let us hope some one will be found who will deal with civic events and the necessity of making this a city beautiful. One reads in the papers of the millions that have been put into the savings bank, to earn there the paltry interest of three per cent, Money is worth more than that, and THE CLUB. it is for some one who knows to tell the peoffle how a higher rate may be earned, The Canadian Club has devoted it- self so far to the cultivation of Cana- dian ideals, Can it not lead in the crusade for civic improvements ?

The Canadian Club has awakened a genuine interest in many people. And this interest will spread when it be- comes apparent that the club is a popular medium through which men of advanced thought give expression fo their views. The aim of the club is not to theorize. Its motives are Ca- nadian, 'it is true, and its membership is confined to Canadians and British- ets, but its plans are cosmopolitan, and it can, and should, be the means of creating an active local as well as loyal sentiment in the community. on to often' seen. MORMONISM ---- The resignation of Mr. Woolf, as a member of the Alberta legislature, re calls the fact that he is a Mormon and represents the Mormons in Can- ada's North-West, The sect does not change very much on account of its location. In the United States it was polygamous, for many years openly and flagrantly so, because its people found in the Smith or Mormon Bible a justification of plural 'marriage. In Canada polygamy has not been practised. Not that the doctrine has disappeared from its creed, but that under the laws of Canada it is not tolerable, and the Mormons, in get ting a foothold in & new country, saw the wisdom of conforming to the will of the majority. At the same time the desire for many wives seems to have passed from the Mormons, or they held it in check, and have in all other respects been devoted in their faith, The resignation of Mr. Woolf sug- gests that the sect is chafing under re- straint. This man, a member of the local house, has been absent from the country a good deal. He has beed Town lols are in great demand, cs pecially these that are on the map somew here.

Vancouver Sun That the Methodist church is em: phatically in favor of a union of the ahree denominations which axé now seeking to secure a basis of cohsolida- tion is abundantly demonstrated by figures in the latest compilation made.

Hitherto the General Medical Coun cil have jealously guarded the road to medical honors, which could only be obtained by those who have passed through approved colleges. This has presented insuperable barriers to poot aspirants who lacked financial back- ng. Now, however, an agreement has heen reached by which the General Medical Council will accept students who have graduated in the London county council's science schools, When thesé schools have been approved as to their stafi "and uipment, training there will be ota part of the four years and nine months nécessary to pass the licensing body for the medical profession.
