A newspaper at the new price is still the cheapest article that can be purchased, to- day." Barrie's reduction in light and power rates this year is the op- posite of the experience of a num_ ber of Simcoe municipalities. A big increase has taken place in Midland, and the Argus refers to it as follows: "This week the local Light and Water Commis- sion is announcing a very heavy raise in rates for électric current for commercial, domestic and power purposes. The schedule, would appear to indicate that the increase in commercial rates alone has been about fifty per cent. with a substantial increase also to power users, The ad- vance as applied to the domestic xervice is not so marked. The reason given is a sharp increase in rates by the Hydro Commis- sion to overcome advanced costs. For some years this town has been enjoying the distinction of having an exceptionally low rate for light and power, but that now appears to be af 'an end for a time at least." In the University of Wisconsin Press Bulletin appcuy the fol- lowing paragraph: "More power to the real friends of few rourtry, press--now is the time to rally around your home papers and do everything possilie (> insure their weathering the present sit- uation. The community without a newspaper is no place in which fo live." Commenting on the foregoing, the 'Toronto Globe's writer on educational matters says: "There ix a great truth in this counsel. 'The teacher's work is closely linked up with the work of the newspaper: one cannot fail to influence the other, In many cases the teacher takes a real interest in the local paper. d from time to time makes niributions of news and arti. 'les and suggestions to the Editor On the other hand, the paper gives plenty of space to school news, and gladly chronicles any- 'hing of interest ta the pupils and their homes, Someti the! cher assumes a ilious| altitude to (he local or ane pf complete indifference, but this surely, is nat common, Teachers Verywhere should study their sponsibilities as citizens, ani one avenue for their community spirit is the promotion of the welfare of the hame pape . pecially at this lime when the struggle for + nee on account and the price of paper is so intense," Anyone at all conversant with conditions im the Royal Vietoria Hospital will readily admit that he Board is taking a correct anid Necessary step in moving towards: the establishment of a nurses! home er the month oof diane he 'total number of days for patients treated was over 1400, which is more than 100 days greater than in the biggest month of the influenza epidemic. This heavy business is not due to any epidemic, Tt is simply the. ve sult of the growing demand for hospital treatment, not a little of which is due to the excellent service furnished by this institu. tion. While the hospital was originally planned to take care of thirty, the number of patients last week was sixty and might have heen more had there been room, Asa result of this growth of business the accommodation for the nurses has been seriously encroached upon; their sitting room is seldom available for them, and their sleeping quarters have hean so crowded as to be and epdingly uncomfortable unhealthy, circumsjancos it is i them to get the physical rest and relaxation which are so necessary to keep them fit for-the arduous duties they: are called upgn to pegform. The growth of business nrekes it very desirable that the nursing staff should be increased yet this cannot be done until there is some place to put them. To build in 'these days of high prices means heavy costs, yet the need is so imperative that the proposed work*eannot long be de- layed, without setious danger of impairment to the health of the staff and deterjoration in the ef- fictency of the institution. This hospital has always heen noted for the high standard maintain- ed by its nursing staff.

The folly of this peasant is not unlike that of the person who for frivolous reasons sells his Victory Bonds which, by painstaking thrift and sacrifice, he acquired as protection for a rainy day.
