They were suggested by Mr. Grahaw following Premier Bennetl's pref- erence offer and were not in any sense alternative proposals, as he was careful to explain, but repre- sented supplementary suggestions while the preference proposals are being carefully studied by British departmental experts.

(By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Cornwall, Oct. 16.--Immediate steps to secure the universal use of history text books on Canadian origin in all public schools are urged in the report of a special committee of the Ontario Associ- ated Boards of Trade and Cham- bers of Commerce presented at the opening of the annual conven- tion of his body here today. The committee has been studying the question of history text books during the past year and finds that "'In some' school systems in Canada the only history text book is one written and published in the United States and that apart from isolated statements which are unfaif and misleading with re- spect to Canada and the empire; the emphasis is naturally on the United States'. It is further suggested that the Department of Education of On- tario should have prepared a ser- ies of booklets giving an account of the lqgal history of each county and authorize their use. in the gechools as supplements to the courses in Canadian history. The idea is that by promoting an in- terest in and a knowledge of the child's own locality and the ro- mance of its history a keener in- terest in general Canadian history and a greater love of country would be stimulated. The report of another special committee finds the adoption of universal compulsory - public lia- bility automobile insurance is not advisable.
