PATRIOTISM AND THE SCHOOLS At first glance readers of the elder genera- tion may have felt an inclination to quarrel with 'Principal T. W. McLean's presidential address' at' the Teacher's Institute Convention- in Port Perry on Friday. Mr. McLean's sub- ject was patriotism, and he stressed the im- portance of that subject's being taught and 'well taught in the schools. A generation ago even it was believed by most that patriotism, like religion, was largely + product of home growth. But the late swift years which brought man's first universal test of patriotism in the years: 1914-18 have demon- strated, though perhaps with.a different mean- ing, that Edith Cavell was right in saying that "Patriotism is not 'enough.": That is to say, the old patriotism which, too often, was merely selfishness given a parade: head-dress and arm- ed with extraordinary jurisdiction. The schools, without sensing it clearly per- haps, are already warning the earth that the day of tribal wars is past. No modern nation will ever again take up the gauge of battle on the same terms that the British Empire en- tered the Great War on August 4, 1914. That is to say, the epoch of the volunteer has ended. War will henceforth mean to nations what it did to city states of the ancient world. From oldest to youngest, from the richest and most powerful to the poorest and most abject, every- one will be engaged in one way or another. To meet this new condition is truly the task of the schools. To prevent, if possible, the re- currence of conflict knowing to what unimag- ined horrors such a step would lead. But if, as of old, this nation, this Empire, or this civi- lization should find itself beleagured by un- parleying hatred, then it must be ready to fight with that despenate unanimity which history shows has never lost except when the spirit of it was evoked too-late. Carthage was utterly disarmed by Rome be- fore the order eame for its destruction. The Carthaginians, who were not patriots, accepted that edict for disarmament in the self-deceiv- ing hope that Rome meant well. But when realization came, that unarmed city closed its. gates and kept fate itself at bay for months. The women of - the city gave their hair to make ropes for war machines; the gutter pipes of the city, the metal which adorned or made their worshipped images, was: melted and recast to make weapons of war, ! But unity came too late. If the same spirit had animated. the Carthaginians a year earlier, archaeologists today might be delving in the juins of a forgotten village that would have been believed to have borne the name of Rome. | MUSIC AND CRIME That musicians are 'rarely criminals was asserted by Dr. F. J. Horwood, of the Toronto Conservatory of Music, in addressing the Dur- ham-Northumberland Teacher's Institute at Port Hope on Thursday. It is to be presumed that Dr. Horwood was thereby referring only to criminality which brings jail penalties and not to that sort which the more notorious jazz composers represent. The 'musician's bent towards the better sort of life is, of course, insensibly influenced by his love of harmony, but there is something more. - All 'men, in degrees, love musical har- mony unless they are deformed in their senses. The underlying fact is that musicians have a hobby, and one of the few that can become a passion without involving destruction, The ' three hobbies which make for good citizenship are music, gardens, and fishing. In these, except indirectly, competition which is 'the mother of jealousy, hate, an drevenge does not intrude. 'A true fisherman regards fish with very little emotion, being merely a more or less fixed point in a personal universe which re- gards such cometary intrusions as other fisher- men with either wonder or temporary annoy- | ance but, like the solar universe, 'does not even | think of doing anything particular about it. Gardening is merely music on a different | port of instrument. It has its ballad lovers who - edompose wonlarful liftle'masterpieces cf senti- TORR WE REN « "OTR in a i 3 ment, in phlox, coreopsis, and sweet peas. The classicists are the rose growers; the modern- ists, not the futurists, are those who produce such wonders as may be seen at gladioli shows. Musicians and gardeners are rarely érim- inals, and fishermen must also-be given a badge of conformity .to good citizenship. Unlike: the. 'former two, he doesn't create anything, but it amounts to the same thing. - The gardener plants a seed and up comes a purple iris. The fisherman plants a worm and up comes a fish, BEST DRESSED Since the women of Canada and the United States became the best customers of Paris hat and gown cesigners the world of fashion has conceded them to he the best dressed women of all countries. This naturally pleased Miss and, Mrs. North America and of course made their husbands and fathers quite proud of their wo- men folk. = * One might have seen, however, that the men folks always felt a little hurt and neglected be- cause no foreign fashion expert chanced to dis- cover that Mr. North America was the best dressed man. Of course the women dress bet- ter here than elsewhere, but do not the men cut a pretty figure as fashion plates too? At last there has come forth a European authority on the sartorial art who is bold and honest enough to admit that Jack Canuck and Uncle Sam rank foremost as fastidious and im- maculate customers of the person, And this most gratifying news was hardly cold before it was discovered that the propor- tion of men with straight creases in their trou- sers is appreciably greater than the proportion of women with straight seams in their hose. Now that it is decided that this is the best dressed country in the world, irrespective of sex, the two sexes can probably come to some amicable agreement as to which is the better dressed. sex. If the weaker sex eventually gets the deci- sion it will be because the contest is judged on the basis of the feminine definition of style, which is frequent and radical change, strict observance of the rule to wear summer clothes in winter and vice versa, and imitating nature to the extent permitted by law. A GRAIN EMPIRE Half a century ago Sit Wilfred Laurier spoke of Canada as the "granary of the empire," and made himself the butt of the flippant who re- garded the Canadian West as a barren wilder- ness. Today Canada exports anpually a half billion dollars worth of grain and flour, fulfilling that prophecy of fifty years ago. In fact, one sus- pects the granary is larger than anticipated by Sir 'Wilfred. : Settlers who knew little or nothing of farm- ing have made a success of taking up land in the Canadian wheat belt. Thousands of vet- erans of the World war have been given land grants. That scldier settlement has produced a con- siderable erop of failures is admitted. What is not generally realized is that the successes form just as large a part of the general number as do successes among the farming public, and that today mong the successful are men who have akon ing part in Canadian agricul- ture. \ Difficult reclamation work and loneliness of the women folk explain most failures among the soldier-farmers. However, every year thousands of them--17,281 in 1926--meet their obligations to the government. These' obliga- tions total $4,000,000 a year. | Canada has a large investment of faith and cash in her soldiér settlers, who are conquering the land just as, years ago, they defeated the enemy.

Lr So Far Coty B Ns Deaths Occur = (Ald Chatham, Oct. 17.--There are about seventy cases of cholera infantum in | the Chatham district, the majority of | which are Belgian children, said Dr. T. L. McRitchie, M.O.H. for Chat- | ham, this evening, following interviews | with physicians in the city. One phy- sician reported forty cases in Dover Township, practically all in the Belgian colony. There are scarcely any cases in the city, he said, most of the cases reported are in Chatham and Dover Townships. Following an inquiry from Dr, Bell, of the Provincial Health De- partment, Toteonto, tonight, Dr. Me- Aitchie secured reports from the local physicians. I "The situation is not alarming," i said Dr, MeRitchie. "The majority of 'cases 'gre among the foreigners' chil- dren, particularly the Belgians, and are due largely to improper feeding. There are no serious cases among the native children and, with the exception of the foreigners, there are no morc cases than ordinarily for this time of the year. "There have been a 'few deaths but, according to the reports I received tonight, very few of the cases arc cerious. The foreigners come to this country and give their babies food ! that is improper for this climate. Few | of them seek. advice as to the proper feeding of babies. Some of the phy- sicians in the city reported no cases at all, I.do not believe the situation is alarming."
