account for the choice of words notice of a change in the master and servant act has teen received by magistrates throughout the pro vince and the amendment will make quite a difference in actions for non payment of wages under the law as amended any action of this kind may be brought before the police magistrate provided the sum does not amount to more than 100 previously it had to go to the divi sion court and the change has been made with the idea of speeding up the wheels of justice and giving op- poitunity tor immediate action in cases of that kind a critic recently pointed out that the reason for the much advertised misconduct of modern youth isnt owing to the war or to prohibition or nonprohibition or to the movies or the decline of religion or any of the thousand and one causes usually cited it is because the mothers of the rising generation have contrac ted the habit of joining organiza tions for the welfare of the commun ity and have been neglecting their homes their

comment on the edu cational situation which we repub lish because it meets in exactly with the sentiments of this paperand we feel sure with the great majority of our readers there is a popular wave of protest against the increased costs of education going over the land the fads and frills that have been added to the courses of the various schools and colleges in the last decade and the vast amounts of money that has been spent in cost ly school buildings are now the cause of maintenance and interest charges that are being sorely felt by people whom depression has af fected which means practically every body in 1901 the cost of elemen tary and secondary education in the whole of canada was 11750000 in 1913 it was 37000656 in 1921 the cost had jumped to 1091s1000 in making protest against this in crease of expenditure it does not mean that one is opposed to giving every young man and young woman in the land a liberal education but it does mean that people have grown tired of seeing all manner of inspections imposed upon the schools and the school children of the super iorities that have been added to the curriculums and of the extravagant school buildings that have been erected in the land if one had the figures for all the costly school structures that have been erected in ontario in the last ten years the total might be a surprise as would certainly be the annual inter est charges on debentures young sters from average homes can be inspired in much less costly build ings and those from modest homes would be delighted with mor inex pensive surroundings charged
