Most of these were slaves who acted as household servants. The slaves did the werk and the family enjoyed things. It was the Roman beMef that a slave had no soul. He was treated I"ke one of the lower animals by most of the masters. If he tried to run away, red hot irons were pres- sed against his face and he was marked forever. ing up and down so as to tramp out | the dirt.

It is said that a slave once broke a vase, and just because of that was hurled into a pond so he might "feed the fishes." Other Romans, I am glad to say, showed kindnees to their slaves. Freedom from slavery was granted to thousands. If you could go back to a large Roman household, you would be likely to find slaves who were tailors, carpenters, shoemakers, masons and bakers. Washing the clothes was a job the slaves must have hated. One ancient picturs shows four slaves stata is & sceie iu'8 Juudey durify standing or kneeling in tubs.

Supposing that in the early days, the best brains of Pennslyvania, like the Schwabs, and the Fricks, had joined a treck out of that state; it is safe to aver that the industrial development of the state would have been a different story. Perhaps it was with this thought in mind, that Mr. Beatty recently declared, "We would be wise to keep our gates open to Brain, as wll as Brawn." \ How much has Canada lost because of the Brain that has gone out of'her gates? How much more undeveloped is she use of that talent end genius which she has allowed to drift aw. At a dinner, one night, in New York, I saw Dr. George Stewart, and Prof. 8imon Newcombe, sitting together; one was president of the Ameri-| can Academy of Medicine, the other director of the American Observatory, | at Washington. Both came originally from a little village called Wallace, | in Nova Scotia. Beside me, at the dinner, a friend was thinking on how much these | two had contributed to the United States; I was thinking on what great service they had deprived their own country. Perhaps we can afford to give New York a couple of Broadway Traffic Cops, but can we, at this stage of our development, afford to give away a Simon Newcombe ? We haev been, for too long a time, in the business of exporting brains to the United States, and then putting up a tariff to prevent them coming home, - Newmitugt Gates and War Brid- HOLD OUR OWN, It's all right to talk about the United States as a lgrger field. That is merely a shallow attempt to palliate our own indinfrence to a vexing problem. Canada is in need of all the brains that she can produce for the next hundred years. After that, perhaps, she may be able to go back to the export business in that line. When our tariff making Is in the hands of those who think only In ierms of bone-meal, and plaster, it iz natural that our most precious and most needed product should escape attention. For ten years, as a rover in many portions of the world, I've seen the brains of Canada at work for other peoples, in railroal!az, in commerce. in diplomacy. Perhaps the strangest sight was on the Golden Horn, where I saw Buckman Pasha (a native of my home country), flying his flag as admiral of the Turkish navy. Everywhere I've heard others praise the work of my exiled compa- triots.. But I have always objected. "It would have been far better if Greatest virgin estate on earth, should be able to occupy even such ad- ventuhous souls as Buckman Pasha. Outsiders, who have not grasped the vision of this new nation may object to m¥ argument as narrow. To such I reply "There can be nothing | narrow in the faithful stewardship of half a continent." If we had faith in Canada, and in Canada's century (which most ] us have not), we could not view the loss of many of our best and ablest, except a national calamity. It is well and good for Sir Percy Girourard to build a railway to Soudan, for General John Stewart to build another on the Gold Coast, for Franklin Lane to serve in the cabinet of the United States, for Jacob Gould Schur- man to become American Ambassador to China, but what has Canada, as a growing nation lost because of this dissipation of her talent ? If' there is such a thing as patriotism, #t f§ the duty of every home, and of every school to instil in the hearts of its youth a sense of high privilege because they have been born in this century, and im this domin- { Senator Fry, in the American Senate, spoke of her as, joi. In one of the finest tributes ever pald to Britain, United States "an Empire worth dying for." ' The paramount duty for our homes and schools is to present Canada as a dominion worth living for. ENCOURAGE OUR OWN." Getting down from the realm of ideality, to the realm of practicality, if we are to benefit by the talents of all, we must afford adequate oppor- tunities for service. One reason why we have lost so heavily in the past, is because we have been remiss in this particalar. It's so much easier to find a place for an Ice-cart driver, than for a Simon Newcombe. . Genius can find its way in the dark. But genius cannot live on earth and board in heaven. It is taken for granted that youth desiring to serve must do its 'part toward the creation of its opportunity. But alas, too many have been knocking at the door, only to have the door banged in their faces; as @' case in point, a friend of mine, who was with me as a post-graduate student at Harvard, applied for a professorship of English in a Canadian university. He was a native born Canadian, a Ph.D. an author of a recognized treatise on Canadian literature. He had an ideal | to come back to Canada. But he was turned down, and the position went to an applicant from the old country, with the result that that young Canadian, in an American professorship at higher salary, is now probably lost to us.
