cent discount a radio listed at 80 he sold it at 10 per cent less than the list price what per cent of the cost was his profit the pupil who answered 20 per cent was given a perfect mark in actual business a more correct answer would probably bo that the merchant lost 20 per cent of ms selling price which is the way pro fits and losses should be figured on the deal after charging overhead advertising wages rent installa tion etc it is most unfair to boys and girls to send them out into the world with a completely false and inadequate idea of what constitutes profit even some leading members of the house of commons special committee on price spreads and mass buying have not unlearned their school lessons in that respect take another example perhaps less serious b a merchant imported 1 ton of goods valued at 4500 on these he paid a specific duty of cent a pound and an ad valorem duty of 33 13 per cent what was the total duty the required answer is 1510 but every importer knows that on the shipment there would be paid to the government not only tho 1500 customs duty but 1 or 3 per cent special duty plus 6 per cent sales tax both on the duty paid value and the total sum would under certain circumstances be greatly increased by dumping duties fixed valuations and exchange differentials the 1510 duty about 33 13 per cent would on many shipments mount to somewhere

that the first reduction in governmental expendi tures is a reduction of 2000 in the salaries of his cabinet ministers including himself this indicates to the people of ontario that he was sincere in his pledge that he in tended to reduce provincial expendi tures by starting at the top the last prime minister to reduce ministerial salaries from their former standards was premier e c drury when he was at the head of the illfated ufo labor coalition government ho reduced his own salary from 12000 to 9000 and his ministers had to be satisfied with less money than their predecessors his fate at the hands of the electors at the next general election how ever made it appear as if his effort at economy in that direction was not altogether appreciated the conservatives on the other hand when they came into power increased the salaries again back to the standard of 12000 for the prime minister and 10000 for tho other cabinet members this sample of their extravagance- was largely duo to their clown fall at the last election when money was free and easy to earn by everybody tho people did not pay much attention to these details but today it is a different proposition too many people are in need and hard pressed to pass theso matters by unnoticed for this reason tho conservatives turned their coats and got behind hepburn for a cleanup the orange order is waiting with no small

settlement but a continuous submission ot their demands and that public school supporters ot this province cannot toj soon become sensible of this fact mr carrie jsaid declaring that separate schools had received unfair preference in provincial school grants mr carrie said take ontario county for in stance the public school grant was reduced from 50000 in 1930 to 2s000 in 1923 in simcoo county the grant was reduced from 84000 in 1930 to 46000 in 1933 in peel county tho reduction was from 30- 000 in 1930 to 21000 in 1933 absolutely every county in on tario had tho public school grants slashed from 1930 to the extent of about 600000 about 25 per cent ever the threeyear period what happened to the separate school grants were they similarly de creased they were raised from 360000 in 1930 to 535000 in 1933 the basis for such grants is sup posed to be attendance by pupils and qualifications of teachers the sepa rate schools attendance increased less than five per cent in the three- year period in 1933 less than five per cent of the public school teachers had lower certificates than second class while 30 per cent of the sepa rate school teachers were below that standard questions qualifications in fact about 25 per cent of the teachers in the separate schools ought not to be teaching because of lack of qualifications many public school children are in training for school

rule sees headlines in the newspapers telling of un fortunate young people losing their lives on the lakes and rivers of tho province either by reasou ot care lessness or because they could not swim the present is therefore a good time to reiterate the warning that no person should venture into deep water without being able to swim it is safo to predict that there will be many drownings this summer just because of the lack of that quali fication tho most effective way by which this toll can be reduced is by cur young people learning to swim as early as possible and making themselves
