FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1927 YOUNG PEOPLE'S MANNERS One school in Oshawa has slarted a course in "good manners" and this gives point to the criticism that the young people of today are not as markedly well-behaved as were the young of previous generations, Such a charge falls a little flat when it is remembered that numbers of those critieis- ing were once young in that golden era, and as for their manners, they scom to have got- ten bravely over their earlier habits of courtesy, The instruction of the young in good man- ners is to be commended, but a great deal needs to be said about example, Among the points to be raised is courtesy to the young. One thing ins heted upon by no less a per- son that the Premier of the Province is that the young should touch their caps to their ," elders. But if this pracitce became general, 3, how many elders would reply to that saluta- tion in kind? Very few probably, until self-conceit itself realized that courtesy should never be a one- + gided affair, for in that event it becomes an #., expression of servility, t Ozhawa's school children will probably | ~s00n show the effects of their special instruc- t--tion, It becomes all who know its value to be on their guard so that these children will not be rebuffed in their efforts to show the 1® knowledge that's in them, and, more, not to be shown again that most of adult idealism i is tinctured with hypocricy, ® If a boy touches his cap to us, let us be 3 humble enough to reply in kind; if they break their ranks to let us through, let us not sail ¢ through like heaven had given us a sort of il railway limited's status on the sidewalks, but as people who have heen honored and "hoped t to be worthy of esteem, CENSOR NEEDED The fact that Canadian newspapers con- tinue to see, or fancy that they see, some- ithing of news value in the fact that the t Prince of Wales occasionally takes a header from his horse when hunting or otherwise , engaged in mounted sports has reached the ® point of nausea. # If there is any news value in these inci- edents at all, so long as the heir to the "Throne is not injured, it consists in the fact wthat some over-ardent democrats may be table to read into them a subtle condemna- 'tion of Royalty. Reputable people say that his royal high- 5 48 a good horseman, No one of any im- yrtance has yet come out with a state- ent that he isn't Yet, year after vear, season after season. the same old "Melton-Mobr ay" or "Inver- on-the-kFal" features as the nearest ay station to where this Empire's fu- ha 1 another tumble, nity can be traced 3 and its vaudeville stage from Will Rogers down- has raised roars from appreciatiye s about the Prince's equestrianship. , too, that have about as much horse as of the great horn rything Canadian newspapers could at least show D e to ban these "news" ms which are a disgrace to the profes- n of journalism and stain Canada's profes- ion of loyalty to the Throne with some- th close to Lyorocricy, LIVING FASTER, IF NOT LONGL. The recklessness of the people of this ag: fin gambling with their energy to meet the demands of the rapidly changing times and n their quest for wealth, self-gratifica- tion, thrills and s;ezdy living that is char- acteristic of this re jazz age constitu- tes one of the great problems of the day for Bethe medical profession and the public, : Nature has been generous in endowing us vith the energy to do the normal work and. enjoy the normal pleasures that are a part of life. But the high-pressure era seems to have come so suddenly, as time goes, that ------ the human race has not been able to adjust itself to meet its demands. As nature does not hurry in adapting it- self to changes, it would be manifestly im- possible for us safely to change the living habits of such a long span of time in a hun- dred or a thousand years, much less in a generation. Our forefathers were canny fellows. Or, perhaps, they do not deserve so much credit for their good health as the conditions un- der which they lived. They drank alcoholic liquors in amounts that not even the moon- shine addict of today could survive. They ate huge meals that would rapidly put most persons living today in the hands of a phy- sician, if not in the hands of the undertaker. But their mode of living balanced their in- temperate habits and appetites. They lived hardy lives in the open. They lived slowly. They walked. They rode horseback. They did har< manual labour, But all this doesn't explain why the nerves of modern man are more jumny and high- strung than those of his ancestors within three generations. The bad nerves of this generation ave blamed on the fast, exciting and dangerous life it is liviag, but the jazz life at its jazziest secms sedentary, safe and serene in comparison with that of the pion- eer days when one was either chasing or being chased by ferocious beasts and more ferocious Indians, and rectless settlers were ever on the move in search of new places to settle, EVOLUT.ON Of DENTISTRY Many of the ills of mankind meoy be traced directly to the to th.

Those whose task it is to care for them should have the most able and intensive training possible, The preparatory education of should be equivalent to that of Teaching and research in dental schools should be as effectual as the hest in a gooo university and dental teachers should be of the same high standard, Dentistry has just as definitely developed beyond the pull-for-every-pain stage as med- icine has passed the blood-letting stage, In other words, a good dentist knows more than just how to pull and fiil tee eth, A large part of modern dental practice is preventive treatment, dentists physicians.

What's Border Between Friends (From Detroit Free Press) Executives of the lzaak Walton League of America are endeavoring to obtain official sanction in Wash ington and Ottawa for a proposal whereby Quetico provincial park, Ontario, and Superior National for- est, Minnesota, would become an in- ternational, Canadian-American re- creation area, as well as a monu- ment to the pioneer-settlers whose adventuring filled this entire region with 'rich memories of Courage and heroism. Before a project of this kind can be realized, it will be necessary, of course, for the governments of the United States and Canada to give their approval, then to devise a for- mal treaty setting up a joint com- | mission to take charge of the uni- | fied area, etc. And presumably, be- fore anything else can be done, Ot- tawa must come to an understand- ing with the government of Ontario province, to which Quetico belongs. These matters, however, may be left to diplomacy to arrange. For the present, the fact of an idea of this sort being on foot under theauspices of a Fe3DONS ible American organiza- tion (doubt'ess not without support and encouragement from the Cana- dian side) is highly significant. Where else on this globe do we find two neighbor nations in a mood as much as to contemplate a joint recreational enferprise? Nowhere, because nowhere else are two ma- tions equally determined to let no mere political boundary line interfere needlessly with their common wel- fare and friendship. To mention only Europe--there the political frontier is to popular mind a forbidding sym- bol of latent racial or economic en- mity, to be tampered with only at the risk of war and for this reason European peoples respect their neighbors' boundaries chiefly under the compulsion of fear. Which means, unfortunately, that this re. spect may diminish in proportion as fear ccases to restrain aggressive spirits. By a test lasting a hundred years and more, the United States and Ca- nada have demonstrated that a dif- ferent conception of international boundary lines is possible--and mu tually beneficial as well. As a result, while Europeans might look upon the Walton league suggestions as preposterous, Americans and Cana- dians are able to accept it as almost a matter of course. What Others Say DOUBLE OPERATION (Hamilton Spectator) George Young underwent two op erations a few weeks ago, having his tonsils and his manager re ntoved.

Great Britain, fighting for civilization for years, while the United States gathered the profits and enriched herself from the war, somewhat na- turally lost some of her foreign markets; but, from all accounts, | these she is rapidly regaining or sub- stituting others therefore, CHANGE IN CHINA (Stephen Gwynn in the Forinightly Review) How many Englishmen who know the East really believe that it will be good for China or possible for China to become organized after the fashion of a Western country? All the business men know that Chinese business men would prefer to go on the old lines; they prob- ably judge that the yast masses of Chinese peasant folk want only to be let alone. But they forget to con- sider that revolutions are made by minorities, generally by very small minorities, of the total population, AIR SUPREM/CY (General Niessel in the Paris Revue des Deux Mondes) We often hear it said that our air fleet is the strongest in the world, and this is literally true as far as our military air force is concerned. But our rivals are well train- ed; some of them are technically just as advanced as we are, and some are richer than we in money, products, technical re- sources and in population. Germany and the United States have defin- itely gone ahead of us in commer- cial aviation; Britain may lead wus tomorrow with her line to India, and London | Rossin with hers to the Far East. A HELPING HAND Russia, instead of being driven back upon herself and forced into the position of a permanent Ish- maclite, or compelled to make wun- desirable alliances with those who are indifferent to the maintenance | of peace, should be brought when- | ever and wherever it may be . pos- sible into contact with the normal world. Her decision to send repre- sentatives to the Disarmament Con- ference at Geneva makes an oppor- tunity for establishing better, be- ause safer, relations. The Soviet 1as changed much already. It will hange more, but it had better be lielped to do so. SADDEST CASE (New York World) "So, my good man, you are in traitened circumstances?" "Straightened! Madam, twins I'd be parallel."

DEATHS FROM FALLS (Thr.it Magazine) It has been computed that fatali- ..es in the United States due direct- ly to falls, averaze about 14,000 per year, Tuhs, in the last eight years, more persons have lost their lives from this cause than from all the wars in which the United States has ever been engaged, It is a growing practice among transportation lines to place cons spicuously such signs as "Watch Your Step" and it would seem that a wider distribution of these warn- ings might result in the prevention of many distressing accidents, Falls and accidents, like fires, | generally result from small acts of carelessness or oversight. Even temporary recklessness or a mo- ment's thoughtfulness has cost many a life. WHAT TO DO FOR CANCER (New York Sun) . A campaign to teach the public what to do for cancer began last evening in New York City. It will last for two weeks. Its reiterated message will be "See the doctor)" The man or the woman who thinks he or she has a cancer should see the doctor; the man or the woman who does not think he or she has a cancer should see the doctor. This means that everybody regardless of the apparent state of his or her health, should have a complete phy- sical examination at frequent -inter- vals--at least once a year. If the cancer campaign impresses on the public the necessity for phys- ical examinations by competent doc- tors it will accomplish its object and there will be a gratifying recession in the business of the unprincipled quacks who fatten on the fears and suffering of the deluded, Crisp Comment A man who has sailed round the world 30 times recently got married, Evidently he was tired of having a girl in every port--Ottawa Journal.
