LAS WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1928 BACK TO SCHOOL "School has opened," For generations those words have stirred conflicting impulses in the chests of boys and girls throughout the world, No, not throughout the world either, for in many parts of the globe school never opens and education is unknown, But happily, throughout Canada those words, 'School has opened," are familiar to the ears of every boy and girl. To the majority of young Canadians, the words are not unwelcome, Youth is always ready for a change, After a summer with- out school, most youngsters are ready to give it another trial, The boy thinks of the fun he is going to have and of the new pranks he is going to play, The girl thinks of new surroundings, new acquaintances and the renewal of friendships of last year. Then to both it will be interesting to get acquaint ed with the new teacher and there are new books, new studies and interesting things to learn, Again there is the chance to get a new start and a determination to keep ahead or at least abreast of the rest of the class this year, But unfortunately, the call to the re-open- Ing of school is repulsive to some of the boys snd girls of Oshawa, as elsewhere, .Some feel that they have all the education that is necessary, One boy has as much schooling as his father had and "Dad" has gotten along pretty well, Another has a job that is paying quite well, so what's the use to waste time and lose money hy going to school. This girl sees no use to go to school any more so long as she doesn't have to work for a living, and another just doesn't want to go because she can't have the clothes and luxuries that other girls have, Maybe she has an opportunity to work for some money to provide at least the pretty clothes. Sad mistake all of you are making. Drop the nonsense and go back to school, If boys were no better educated than their fathers, the world could never advance, If many have succeeded without education, thou- sands have failed for lack of it. If you can hold a good job with little schooling, you can hold a better one and be of greater ser- vice to humanity with more. A little sacri- fice of pleasure now will be worth a fortune when you are older. School has opened. Go back to school. BOOKS WITHOUT NUMBER A recount of the world's library discloses approximately 2,000,000,000 books in its catalogue, In the 324 principal libraries of the world there are 90,000,000 volumes, while in the United States alone there are 98,000,000 books in public and private librar- jes, including those of colleges and univer- pities. Added to these are the millions of books in homes whose limited collections of books do not rise to the dignity of a library, yet in the aggregate constitute a vast li- brary. There are many duplications in these toe tals and the number of books not worth reading is probably as great, yet with these excluded the world's library is too extensive for even a bibliophile with nothing else to do but read to make much more than a dent fn it. As for the great majority of people, it is doubtful if they average twelve of the immortal books in a lifetime. Perhaps the average for popular fiction is higher. The man who sets out-to read the world's literature has a task impossible of comple- tion in a lifetime though he live to be a hun- dred. He may, however, in the span of years given the average man, explore the myster- ies and glory in the beauties of the books which are by common consent the most worth reading. Book selling dates back to about 1100, when it was originated by monasteries and universities, but the origin of bookmaking antedates the book-selling trade and the in- vention of printing by many centuries, BEAUTY FOR THE BEAST "Feed the brute" is an old and well-ac- cepted adage, and probably still stands the test of time as one of the first axioms of a happy home. But do not neglect beauty for the beast, It too hath charms to soothe the savage breast. The "love nest" whether large or small, in city or country should be a place of beau- ty. The home may be plain but it ought never be dingy, Whether filled with old things or new, it should be cozy and warm, It should minister always to the beauty-lov- ing side of human nature, Bring into the home the charm of the art- istic, not alone in fine pictures, draperies and furniture, but in the form of music, shaded lights and touches of individuality, And, speaking of light, we wonder how many happy 'homes have been wrecked by the presence of fiercely burning overhead fix- tures? The world in which we live is not most beautiful at high noon, but rather to- ward evening when the shadows lengthen, So beauty everywhere is created by sha- dows, i Today, as never before, furnishings of beauty for the home are available to every- one, Let the home-makers follow the lead of the designers of all this artistry, Dress up the home and keep it beautiful. ALL TRUTH IS SAFE All truth is safe and nothing else is safe; and he who keeps back the truth, or with- holds it from men, from motives of expedi- ency, 'is either a coward or a criminal, or both, --Max Muller, EDITORIAL NOTES The man with money to burn has a hot time, 4 When I don't know whether to fight or not, I always fight.--Nelson, The greater the obstacle the more glory in overcoming it.--Moliere, Your sole contribution to the things is yeweself.--Frank Crane. sum of A man gets into trouble marrying two wives, Some get into trouble marrying one, Search thy own heart; what paineth thee in others in thyself maybe.--J.

Then you can put up the lawn mower and just sit and look at the grass and laugh. Males are sensitive things, and it must hurt a rooster's vanity to see a lot of pub- licity to an egg laying contest. It would be interesting to have a commis- sion pass on the mental condition of some of those chaps who get up those so-called "intelligence tests." g It takes a great deal of boldness, mixed with a vast deal of caution, to acquire a great fortune; but then it takes ten times as much wit to keep it after you have got it as it took to make it.--Mayer A.

When 1 had pitched my tent the lady caretaker came over to us politely told us to take the tables back to the park as tourists were supposed to have their own equip- ment. Not to light ahy fires and be sure to be out of the camp in 24 hours. 1 was lucky to have my Coleman stove along and and altho I was all unpacked and prepared for a stay I packed everything and left the grounds. I was fairly dis- gusted with such a reception. 1 think the writer of that article should visit a few tourists camps and he would see what a camp really is. He doesn't need to go far-- Whitby has an ideal one and so all along the line from coast to coast Why in Western Canada a town with perhaps 4 or § thousand can boast a first class camp. Kitchen, tables, stoves, washroom and toilets handy, not a mile away, and believe me | know a camp on the highway will appeal every time. When a tour- ist is thinking of pitching camp he is tired and doesn't feel like riding miles out of his way perhaps in the half dark looking for a camp. Who | could direct him from the track down to your camp? You have no signs and oh such a road is a dis grace to a city with a population it has. When I was there two years ago the lady caretaker was quite put out when 1 told her to give a tourist 24 hours was no way to encourage business for Oshawa, she said Osh awa didn't want it. . Of course no doubt took it upon herself to air her views of Oshawa's wants Ih closing, if Oshawa is thinking of tourist's camp, make a real one and charge so much a night, have travelled oyer forty thousand mile since 1925, and me its al ways to a pay camp we head for if there is one in the locality, truly, A Tourist From Afar he believe Yours TECHNICAL SCHOOL SERVICE FOR CAMP BORDEN PERSONEL. To the Editor: Dear Sir.--The Bont spirit of good will --he and Whitby that has conic about through their freindly co-operation inomoving to secure the Camp Borden is too precious a ual achievement to permit « ment until the object origin is attained. Entent tween Oshaw 1 location « which w The only obstacle in the wa is the provision of technical service for the personnel of Borden cstablished at \Whith Every other condition is f perfection, The letter from .the Depu ister of Defence, Mr. G. J. Desh addressed to the Whithy autl dated July 12th, 1928, specifies tl physical and oth requirements for this national school of aviation. The educational advantage looked for are specifically mentioned as fol lows :-- "The - existence in the neighbor hood of educational estahl a university, collegiate institute, nical school--these to pro tramming of tht personnel force." With the lake shore houlevar alized as a certain incident of mp Borden's move to Whitby, Toront University, the largest under British flag and the first world to have an aeronautical partment, will be well within an-hour's run over a pavement a hundred feet wide, which should Ie its minimum width to Whithy and Oshawa, Every automobile no made in Canada is guaranteed make a mile a minute or better. With the lifting of the speed limit such a roadway would make practicable, Camp Borden cadets and the youth of the personnel of the establishment in Whitby could attend the university in Toronto, The Whitby high school with its new gymnasium and added class rooms for agriculture and farm me- chanics can admirably take of the secondary school work The Ontario Ladics' College for. the girls of the personnel is also a merit Whitby possesses educationally. For technical school service the writer had in mind the wonderful schools of this kind that Toronto hoasts but the plan to establish a large and complete technical school in Oshawa would be far better in so far as meet- ing the needs of Camp Borden Whitby are concerned. My proposal is that Whithy unite with Oshawa in favor of the Do minion Government's making up the twenty thousand dollars, or more, if necessary, to assure a great tech- nical school for Oshawa. The rcason for this decision is that if Camp Borden is located at Whithy care now it means a saving of fifty times | the twenty thousand dollars through ability to secure at present large residential properties available in the upper part of the town homes for the. staff officers and cadets as against spending more than a million dollars in providing this accommodation adjacent to the flight field. Transportation between the residences up town and the flight field is today ready to usc in the railway the town built at an csti- mated cost to the municipality in stock subscriptions and bonuscs of once hundred and fifty thousand dol- lars. This same railway service be- tween the upper part of the town and Camp Borden on its lake front very casily may be extended over the Canadian National main line tracks and the Oshawa Railway so as to enable students from Whitby to attend the Oshawa technical school. My proposal is that the Oshawa Board of Education invite the co- operation of the Whitby Town Coun- cil in its further efforts to assure Camp Borden's location at Whitby to include approval of the necessary additional grant from the Dominion Government towards the establish- as ment of a technical school in Osh- | awa that will so provide the required technical school service for the Camp Borden personnel living iin Whitby. ' i fa r, then drop off like human flies, at| prices | | In this way Whitby, without cost to | herself, may completely solve the problem of absolutely fulfilling the educational requirements for Camp Borden. When one reviews the history of the present year's activities in avia- tion as they affect Oshawa and Whitby, the splendid response of the authorities of the former to the ap- peals of the latter for aid and as- sistance in attaining the boom to both Camp Borden it is agreed will prove there should be no hesitancy on the part of either place to help the other to the Junit. Furthermore, it is worth while to look into the future and try to vis- nalize what such a \nion--not or- ganic but simply co-operative action along helpful lines--a real Boune Entente,--between the more than thirty-five thousand souls making up the citizenship of Oshawa and Whit- by and their immediately surround- ing suburban communities in the two tewnships of Whitby and East Whithy, might accomplish for their mutual welfare. F. Howard Annes. TECHNICAL SCHOOL Editor Oshawa Daily Times, Dear Sir: T am compelled once | more to ask the favor for space in | your valuable and progressive pa- | per, in support of the above. I congratulate you most heartily for your recent editorials, particu- | larly of Aug. 16 and 27. Also that worthy and respected citizen and { manufacturer, Mr. J. D. Storie for his | particularly fitting remarks, and those of other citizens expressing | thelr views. Mr. Dditor, T ask you one favor: Turn up the copy, or let one of your scribes--and look at page 1 of the Oshawa Reformer, Nov, 24, 1021. Just seven years--I have it in front of me, and for general benefit let me quote this phrase of Dr, Mer- chant, head of the Provincial Edu- catio Department, when he ad- + Oshawa Board of Educa- years ago: nal drezsed tl tion ¢ *y ven in the Department of Educa- | tion are absolutely assured that there i n opening here for a vocational school for instruction in industrial, inical, commercial and home-mak- " tec ing subjects After a complete investigation at | that time by the chief provineial ex- pert, what better and stronger seed could he have sown in the minds of the Education Board ?--Why did that eed not § ninate and bear fruit? | 11d the Board of today lack the | same mental fertility to produce re- | sults with all the fertilizer you and others have attempted to seratch in, | then the responsibility rests with | them. This is the last year the Fed- | eral Government makes grants to- wards technical schools to aid the | provinees, amounting to 50 per cent | rr one-half the 'cost, Personally T| think it the thing that could have happened. The best peptomizer | or fertilizer to hasten up growth, | construetion and completion It means to Oshawa a gift of $100,000 in cash alone.

TI regard as the "missing link" ir present blind alley educational m The young people get so | at | the end of the chain, as 80 many | handy or unskilled men; one of my | arguments hes been, "Technical and 1 ial tuition for workers, the/ dation of industrial progress." | How many of Oshawa's citizens during the last T years of procras- tination have gone astray from their current calling like sheep that are | | lost? And why? For the lack of opportunity in Oshawa to learn or | acquire that particular knowledge or gkill which alone can adequately make them truly skilled--practical | or technical men. Most truly and aptly put by Mr. J. | PD. Storie in his reference to "execus tive." "Such men do not just hap- pen. They are the product of speci- alized instruction 'in the classroom, the work-shop, and the laboratdty." No truer words even uttered om the subject, well worth repeating. | Also equally fine and perfectly true are his words, "Its value to men in the community, and in their own » | homes. Toronto has for years given their | school. Look up the marvellous | number of little and varied indus- tries that' have grown in Toronto the last T or 10 years. I have done it from the the list of Canadian | manufacturers. Technical end industrial training | sets the first seed for incubating. our | industries from those passed through our ordinary schools. Enquire of Great Britain or Germany if you doubt it or go over the line to the States, who today are importing the vast majority of our industrial exe- cutives and keep our boys hopping on the tune, till theysdrop off like flies, in the "blind alley system." One more quotation from Dr. Merchant's report of 7 years ago. It holds good today and reads: "If a technical school were built on high school grounds, it would haye to be a separate building." These remarks appear to support the present location but calls for a distinct and separate building, which I distinctly favor, and also the loca- tion provided space or grounds avail- able are large enough. In conclusion, every citizen and parent with any pride, love or am- bition, should use every effort to fur- ther the project, forgetting their own selfishness but thinking more of the benefit that will accrue to their chil- dren and their children's children; | by getting out of the rur and on the { real road to progress, for themselves | and this great and greater Oshawa. | And push for progress--leave the ruts. | Yours progressively, ~ S.

(New York Herald Tribune) That depends upon where you are, o | for in the six countries which keep national standards there is found to be a maximum difference of a ten- thousandth of a volt. The difference between the United States and Eng- land is one one hundred thousandth of a volt. As the maximum differ- ence would result in a difference of one cent on every eleetrie bill of $100 the error can hardly be consid- ered serious. The report was made by Pr. G. W. Vinal, of the United States Bureau of Standards. A $40 ALIMONY CHECK (New York Evening World) A strange gpincidence occurred at one of the mYdtown hotels recently. A letter came addressed to a woman guest and when she opened it she discovered a $40 alimony check. Now, this particular woman has a husband she gets along with very well, so she hastened down to the mail elerk with the check. The mail clerk promptly discov- 'ered another women guest with the same name and rushed the alimony check up to her--thinking, quite na- turally, she was waiting for it. But the second woman also has a perfectly satisfactory husband and waved the alimony check away. And so the mystery continues. AND NATIONAL PARKS New York Times) The Canadians have "beat us to it." They have decided to keep auto- mobiles out of Glacier National Park 80 that the region may not be defiled by dust, noise and gasoline fumes. Even hot-dog stands have been ban ned, The park is to be a sanctuary for mortals seeking peace and quiet. Had such a plan been projected by our own park service it would have been condemned as undemocratic and un-American, But the idea is sound +... Experience in the Yosemite park has shown that where a small region, like the floor of the valley, is particularly popular it becomes s0 overrun that it is almost urban- ized. The Canadian experiment de- serves the serious consideration of Americans, MOTORS ( THE AMERICAN MENACE (Ottawa Droit) Mr. Hoover has promised the farmers of his country tariff protec- tion for their farm products as high as that which is at present enjoyed by other American industries This would not, in Mr. Hoover's opinion, have any cffect on the move- ment of farm products "from the United States to Canada. Mr. Hoover is strangely deceived in his judg- ment, He who has always taught the of commodities, how can he suppose that Canada, being unable any longer to sell products to the United States, would still continue to provision herself from the same country? This would mean a great drain of cash, and all great economists know very well that com- ial relations which are not ba- ed on the exchange of natural pro- ducts are superficial and cannot last long free exchange POOR DANCE MUSIC (By Anthony Quindle, in London Daily Mail) Summer dancing, which is stenu- | ous enough on these August nights, is being further spoiled by the rather thoughtless behavior of the dance bands. In the majority of ballrooms they either play too fast, at, say 60 bars to the rhinute, or too slow, at something under 40. The consequence of this high speed and dead.slow regime is that it is impossible to dance an ordin- ary foxtrot as it-should be danced, and difficult to dance the Blues (or its amateur equivalent) without tipping over, MEMBERS : NEW YORK STOCK EXCHAN CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE WINNIPEG GRAIN EXCHANGE NEW YORK CURB MARKET (Ass'te) OFFICES AT: -- TORONTO, ONT.
