LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: If there are cases where too much home work is given to growing children, the remedy would appear to be to reduce the tasks thus'set for the hours after school. The abolition of all home work, on the other hand, would appear as most undesirable from all viewpoints, and almost certain to be of serious injury to the child. At the present time, indeed, it seems that more home work, rather than less, is what is truly needed. More home work by the parents, as well as by the pupils. Too much is left to the teachers and the school in the training of the children toâ€"day. What is urgently needed is a return to the educational spirit of years gone by when parents helped the school by insisting that home work be done. When the boy or girl of twenty or thirty years ago wished to ‘go to concert or show, or even to play outside, the first question asked was "Have you done your home work?" Is there a tendency toâ€"day when the youngster wants to go to a show »r to a dance to curse home work and suggest its abolishment? Home work has the advantage of keeping the child in touch with the school after the school hours are passed. Home work does more than simply keep the yoï¬ng- ster at lessons in the home. It links the school and the home. It gives parents the opportunity to assist, or at least to sympath.ize in the education of their children. There has been for some time too great a tendency on the part of the home to evade its duty in the education of the child. If teachers assist in this evasion of duty and privilege they are sowing seeds that will in the harvest time to come mean poor crops indeed for children, homes and teachers alike. Two gentlemen called at The Advance office last week to protest against the condemnation of the peddlers as voiced by The Advance. ‘These gentlemen claimed they did not annoy the good wives of the town, that they were never overâ€"insistent in trying to sell their wares, that they were invariably courteous, that they religiously avoided any misâ€" representation, ever gave their customers honest goods and the best of value, and that they were citizens of the town, supporting tht good causes of the community and paying taxes. The answer to them both was that if all they claimâ€" ed were true they were not peddlers in the accepted meaning of the word. They might be agents, representatives, or anything else, but peddlers never. One of these gentlemen did show one sign of the peddlerâ€" the trait to get something for nothing at the expense of others. He wanted free publicity to explain his case to the public. He wanted the chance to abuse the Kiwanis Club and the business men of the town for their recent campaign urging the people for their benefit to support business men in whom they had confidence, business men who paid taxes, supported local causes of all kinds, and made the town itself possible. The merchants paid for the presentation of their case as they pay for other things. They asked nothing else than a fair chance. Their message to the public in the "Buyâ€"atâ€"Home", campaign was not a cry for preference or privilege. Their slogans were:â€""Have faith in your local merchantsâ€"they can serve you best." "Keep prosperity upl and prices down by buying at home." "Investigate! Comâ€" pare prices and service! The merchants of Timmins ask you to put it right up to them, and they will prove to you that they can serve you better than any peddlers or outâ€"ofâ€" Timmins, Ont A group of educationalists gathered recently at Toronto seriously urged the abolition of home work for school childâ€" ren. It is discouraging to those who love children to see people who ought to know better advocating a move of this description. There was perhaps a time, many years ago, when the school pupil was overburdened with home work. Men and women of toâ€"day look back upon their own youth and recall the chores that had to be done before they startâ€" strength of the average child a quarter of a century ago was handicapped in any real way by the school work that fell to his or her lot? It is perfectly true that the people of toâ€"day desxrq that their children should have an easier time than their fathers and mothers, In the matter of education youngters of toâ€" day have few of the many hardships endured by all in the days gone by if education were to be achieved. There is grave danger at the moment, however, that injury may be done to children in the vain hope of making their path too easy. To assume all the normal burdens of life for a child would be to rob that child of its birthrightâ€"the right to grow strong through struggle and to achieve through effort. Fond parents may perhaps be excused in some measure for desiring to make a royal road to learning for their children, but teachers surely should know better. It is hard to believe that school pupils have too much home work these day. If so, how is it that children have time to roam the streets at night? How is it that so many childâ€" ren are bored because they find nothing to do when school is over? anything els One of the the trait to others. He public.

It will be a when judges may not speak their ininc they have good reason for this faith. The people do not wish to see the prerogatives of the bench turned over to any one else. The people also have confidence in the earnâ€" estness, the talent, the courage and the fearlessness of the Attorneyâ€"General. They wait his justification of this belief â€"or otherwise." It is only fair and proper to say that the Attorneyâ€"Genâ€" eral of Ontario has justified the trust held in him by those who have watched his record without prejudice or political bias. There were some who were inclined to think that the Attorneyâ€"General would find some excuse for sideâ€"stepping the issue. Others asked, "What can the Attorneyâ€"General do in such a case?" Both these groups are fully answered by his prompt action. As soon as the matter was drawn to his attention he started an investigation and as soon as the facts were fully before him there was effective action. The dignity and authority of the magistrate‘s court are upheld by the Attorneyâ€"General in a way that increases confidence in the administration of justice in Ontario. The case in which the Attorneyâ€"General has shown so prompt an attention and action has held the special interâ€" est of people in general because it dealt indirectly with the very right of British men to secure employment. The case was concerned with a charge of the selling of jobsâ€"an ofâ€" fenceeâ€"not only against the law, but very specially against the people at this particular time. > It should not be forâ€" gotten, however, that no matter how important the partiâ€" cular case might be, the principle upheld by the Attorneyâ€" General was still more vitalâ€"the principle that the courts should not be hampered or hindered by any outside causes. This is a principle that is vital to the safety and welfare of the people, more vital than may be generally realized. At the present time all over the province, all over the Dominâ€" ion, there are insidious attempts to control courts and judges. There is underhand effort in many quarters to imâ€" pose in Canada the same sorts of courts under infiuence and restraint as have cursed the country to the south. In Canâ€" ada the judges‘ courts, the magistrates‘ courts, have been free and untrammelled except by the laws they serve, and people in general have held the sincerest confidence in them. They have been worthy of all confidence and all should be alert to see that in no way are they brought under any subâ€" servience or lack of proper power and authority. More than most people realize the welfare and safety of all good citiâ€" zens rests not only in ccurts that are above reproach, but no less in courts that are free except so far as the law may bind them.
