They may not promise so' extrava- gantly but they are likely to carry out such promises as they make. They usually do good work and they could do better work if Can- adians patronized them more generally than they do. When Canadian money goes to United States correspondence schools, it is to be ex- pected that the latter will be able to advertise more largely and to offer more courses than can Canadian schools, Canadian correspond- ence schools have cause for exactly the same complaint as is made by Canadian magazi lack of home patronage. In Oshawa there are many opportunities for adult education, Our Board of Education offers night classes in matriculation subjects and in technical, vocational and commercial subjects, The University of Toronto provides Oshawa with evening classes in university subjects, For $4.00 SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1927 everyone who is ambitious there is an oppor- tunity, Now is the time to decide that, next Official announcement through the columns of The Oshawa Daily Times that the Boys - Training School at Bowmanville will shortly be enlarged to accommodate 200 pupils, more than twice its present enrollment, will be of special interest to many throughout the Province that have watched the experiment there with keen A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT interest. The Bowmanville Boys Training School is the world's first scientific effort to deal with boys who, largely throdgh wrong environment, take the first wrong steps on the road that ldads to ultimate criminality, The cardinal principle, the school's very corner stone, was that it should not be a '"reformatory" in any It was equally insisted upon that its instruction should fit boys coming to it both for good citizenship as a service to society, and for good craftsmanship as a service to way. themselves, Immediate plans for an enlargement that will more than double the school's size suggest that both these ideals have met with remark- All the more so when it is re- membered that the first 18 pupils were en- rolled for experimental work in August 1925. Dr, Reaman and his staff is to be warmly congratulated; and the province at large can now do more than hope that the iniquitious reformatory system's days are numbered, able success, Those who are *on a diet" or have been ad- vised to go on one may be interested, if not in- structed, by the conclusions of the medical cor- respondent of the London Times who has been looking into the subject, dieting often does more harm than good, since it usually consists of omission of what the sys- tem has been accustomed to, and his advice is that the foods you like are likely to be those that will do you most good. argues that what we do not want to eat will ABOUT DIETS AND DIETING never do us any good, He reminds us that the records are full of discredited and discarded diets. diabetic theory of withholding sugars and starchy foods is trembling in the balance. is a debatable point whether there is an excess or a failure to assimilate properly. therefore danger of starving rather than im- proving, and he notes that most diets in the last analysis are modifications of starvation, which he argues would be akin to changing the fuel of an engine instead of righting it, with the likely result of its running worse. Having got this far, he boldly charges that many cases of rapid loss of health have been traced directly to dieting, which he brands as "a mixture of prejudice and pseudo-science." Yet he thinks we eat too much. But ceasing to overeat is safer and very different from radical changes in diet which may not only lessen the nourishment but lower the defensive power of the system. diets," he concludes, "look ill, look anxious, as though their minds are not at ease, as if they were engaged in a risky experiment, and their apprehensions are justified." Even the prisoners are studying these days. A newspaper report says that nine inmates of Kingston Penitentiary wrote on junior and honour matriculation examinations last month, and we noticed an advertisement for a teacher in an Ontario penal institution the other day. Ambitious people in all walks of life are com- ing to see how necessary education is for ad- vancement and for happiness. mind, it is realized, is probably just as neces- sary and just as pleasureable as is exercise of the body. The demand for adult education is «ne of the distinguishing characteristics of the twentieth century. Universities, technical, and commercial schools are offering ADULT EDUCATION evening courses for adults. Correspondence schools located in the United States, some of them with branches in Canada, are offering all sorts of fancy courses for home study and are making lavish promises. of fnese may be good; some are fair; and some Canadians should remember that schools in our own are doubtful. there are ccrrespondence His belief is that Conversely he Even the anti- There is "Most men on strict Exercise of the high schools, September or October, you will begin to im- prove your educational standing, DOG The correspondent of an eastern newspaper who seriously advocated the extermination of the dog because he believed it a "parasite that is dangerous, disgusting, useless and costly," started something he won't finish, Perhaps some of the things he says about the dog are true and perhans the dog is an economic non- essential, but nevertheless the dog as a species will survive its traducers, The bond of friendship between man and canine is of too great antiquity and too deeply involved in sentiment to be broken by the preachments of economists, by the warnings of the health officer, by reform legislation, or by a combination of the three, There is no doubt that the dog represents economic waste, that his uses are few and unnecessary, and that they create unsanitary conditions where not properly cared for. Great damage is also caused among livestock by dogs, and rabies cause the death of adults and children annual- ly. And yet the public feels that the compan- ionship of a dog more than compensates man for these, Gradually the homeless dog will be put out of the way through the enforcement of dog- licensing laws. Dog taxes also have a tendency to curtail the ownership of dogs by families of insufficient means properly to feed and restrain them, Dogs of these two classes are chiefly responsible for the loss of livestock and the re- sultant movement for the extermination of the dog. A man's home is his castle and his dog is the defender of that castle, whether it be lap dog or mastiff, The tyranny of law and reform may scrap the Bill of Rights, but there is little danger of its destroying the sanctity of the heme and the "most loyal friend man has in the world"--his dog. EDITORIAL NOTES Gossip is like yeast, You put in a little and the works start. { It Fortunately, a book that improves your mind seldom makes you as dull as the author. The millennium will be here soon after all uplifting begins where charity does, Some of these divorce suits being pressed should have been sent to the cleaners first, Not all .of a community's junk is in the alleys, Some of it is parked on Main street. It is well to encourage others to do their best, but a man who starts to do his worst wants to be let alone. The ego needs curbing. When a man gets on his feet too easily, his head has a swell time. You never get the full meaning of efficiency until you observe a small boy placing himself around ice cream cones. Bit of Verse A TRAGIC STORY There lived a sage in days of yore, And he a handsome pigtail wore; But wondered much, and sorrowed more, Because it hung behind him. He mused upon this curious case, And swore he'd change the pigtail's place, And have it hanging in his face, Not dangling there behind. ; LY And though his efforts never slack, And though he twist, and twirl, and tack, ¥ Alas! still faithful to his back, A The pigtail hangs behind him. x --William Makepeace Thackeray.

M. F. Mass. Over 90 percent of these op-' erations were for gall stones. Irom 1914 to 1922 the deaths resulting | therefrom were nearly 8 in one hun- dred; in 1922 it was about bY per- cent, in 1923 it was 4% percent; in 1924 33 percent, and in 1925 less than 2 percent. | Registered ful?

Dr. Fallon states death rate in 1925 that tient, so that when he reached the operating room he had just that much better chance to come through safely. This preliminary preparation in- cludes the use of the dye which shows up the position and condition of the gall bladder, and thus the ! surgeon knows ahead of time just about what to expect when he op- erates. This as you can see is worlh wuch to patient and surgeon, and | lessens the danger arising from un- | foreseen conditions in the region of the gall bladder. Also an X-ray meal which shows the position of the intestine in re- | lation to gall bladde, because some- times the intestine has fibrous | bands or adhesions which interfere with its movements. Sometimes also an old appendix condition will cause these adhesions of the intestine, and the appendix will be shown at a higher position, than normal, that is up near the gall bladder. Thus | the surgeon has a fair idea of what he is likély to find when he oper- ates. 'Also by diet exercise, and other measures the patient cam be put into his best possible condition hefore the operation. Thus by team work on the part of the patient, the physician, and the surgeon, his chances of recovery nave been increased four fold the last few years.

A hundred feet above ' street level on the topmost floor of a huge power plant which generates energy to drive five thousand elee- tric motors and provides heat and light for sixty-seven lhundred em- ployees, stands a four-cylinder "T" motor. Without this little automobile engine the great power house and the enormous industry it energizes would be powerless to resume operations, The power house is the most modern in the Dominion, one of the most efficient and up-to-date plants in the world, and though it can develop energy sufficient to convert raw materials into auto- mobiles at the rate of hundreds per day and provide light and warmth for the many thousands of men who tend the wonderful ma- chines employed in the manufac- turing processes, it becomes, if shut down, a Samson shorn of his locks, Ta meet the situation which would arise in case of a shut-down ever being necessary, an absolute- ly reliable power source was necessary, so this was provided in the form of a Model "T" motor, The power house burns pul- verized coal and with its three great furnaces develops a total energy of 15,000 kilowatts. The coal, brought by boat to the docks at Ford, Ont.,, on the Canadian side of the Detroit River; is scoup- ed up in five-ton quantities by a huge ganuy crane and transferred LINDBERGH'S TOUR National will be three- Charles July 16. aviation result of the months aerial tour of ol.
