It i8 commonly assumed that as relations are born to one and friends are of one's own mak- ing, there is a premium on friends. The un- iortunate part abeut this is that, while people are not responsible for their relatives, they, they are responsible for their friends, a res- ponsibility that is often unbearable. Friends are supposed to be people to whom one may turn for help in time of need, and vet, a true friend is never supposed to impose uypon his friends. Often "friends indeed" strike from their lists of friends those "friends in need" a" Though not always available in a crisis, friends are exceedingly conscientious about the minor functions of their office. They repeat to us unflattering things others say behind our hacks and make us the butt of jokes, criticisms and admonitions. Friends are, so to speak, acquaintances which have "taken." Or perhaps it is more correct to say that friendships represent a survival of the fittest, for few persons can long survive the punishment friendship imposes. There are some things that can be sajd for friendship and friends. One nced not live in deadly fear of insulting them, nor must one terever be striving to make an impression up- on them. And at all times one feels free to im- pose upon them. A friend in need may be a friend indeed, but the worst sort of enemy is the friend who has turned against you. ESSAY COMPETITIONS English composition, so teachers tell us, is cne of the most difficult subjects to teach in school. It is easy enough to locate and mark the errors in spelling and punctuation, but to judge the value of a pupil's writing is a diffi- cult task indeed. And it is not easy to get boys and girls interested in written essays. Such work is rather a dull and dreary opera- tion, often reserved for Friday afternoons. To write well one must wish to write, have some- thing to say, and be anxious to say it. Further- more, subjects for essays are by no means easy to find. : For all these reasons, one would suppose that teachers would eagerly seize the oppor- tunity to get their pupils to participate in the various essay competitions which are put for- ward, especially this year, but also every year. Here the spirit of emulation comes in, The pu- pils are interested in seeing how their work .ompares with the work of those in other schools. Then there are prizes, money prizes, for those who win. Besides, from the teach- or's standpoint, there is the opportunity to get the opinion of an outsider on the value of a supil's essay. The Ontario Safety League and the Ontario Motor League, working in co-operation, an- nounced an essay competition last April. Six hundred dollars was the amount offered in prizes. Two pupils received $10 each; four, $5 each; eight, $3 each; ten, $2 each; and 516 pupils received a prize of one dollar each. The list of prize-winners has just been sent out. in this list are to be found the names of pupils irom Barrie, Belleville, Bowmanville, Brant- ford, Cainsville, Chatham, Campbellford, Co- balt, Cobourg, Collingwood, Dunnville, Fort William, Galt, Guelph, Haileybury, Hamilton, Hespeler, Kitchener, Lion's Head, London, Merriton, Niagara Falls, North Bay, Orillia, Ottawa, Owen Sound, Paris, Pembroke, Peter- boro, Port; Arthur, Port Colborhe, Port Dal- housie, Porquis Junction, 'Scarbore Bluffs, St. Catharines, St. Thomas, . Sault Ste. Marie, Swansea, Toronto, Walkerville, Welland, 'Wind- sor. wo oapi, Certainly, this is a fine distribution of places large and small. In vain we searched the list to find the name of our own City. Surely it cannot be that Oshawa pupils competed and did not win a single, solitary prize! We are forced to the melancholy conclusion that ne pupils from this city were sufficiently inter- ested to send in an essay. If the pupils did not compete, it must have been because their "cher in Oshawa who could sée the walue of having his or her pupils write on "Highway Safety?" Were the teachers forbidden to en- courage the boys and girls to compete? There is much good and no harm done by these essay competitions. Why was Oshawa not represen- ted in this ope?

Why teach girls Latin? All it does for them is fo render it unnecessary to look up some words in the dictionary. As for French, they never use it at all. This tea- cher, who lives near a fair-sized town, is com- mencing, in ¢o-operation with a doctor's wife, a campaign for a "practical" education for girls--dressmaking, home nursing, millinery, cooking, etc. The poor girl is not only ignor- .ant, but is not even aware of the changes that have taken place in education in the past two decades. If this teacher only realized it, her cam- paign for a practical education was won years ago. In the technical and commercial schools girls can secure instruction in all the subjects this teacher demands. That type of education has been thoroughly developed in Ontario and is filling a real need. But it does not fulfil the whole purpose of education. Not all the girls of today arc seeking the so- called practical education. The woman teacher mentjoned takes no account of the necessity for what is called "liberal" education. In this category come Latin and French, in spite of all that is said against them, have important uses. A knowledge of Latin is of great advantage in acquiring a proper knowledge of English. In fact, what has been said of England is equally true of English. "What does he know of England who only England knows?" He who only knows English does not fully know his own language; he must know one or two other languages. In spite of what the racial and sectarian agi- tators say, it would be well if all Canadians could speak French as well as English. Knowl- edge of another language is a valuable asset. The purpose of education is not merely to en- able boys and girls to make a living--it is equally important that they be equipped to make a life. "A man's life consisteth not in the abundance of things that he possesseth." Literature and art and music and the ability to enjoy them, make life more pleasurable, as well as more useful. In this country facilities for a liberal education are just as necessary as arc the opportunities for a practical educa- tion. i", EDITORIAL NOTES It takes only the other one to start a fight. All things come too late to the fellow who waits. Hay is all right, but make ice cream while the sun shines. Another excellent training in the art of dip- lomacy is a daughter sixteen years old. There are periodicals that will enable you to keep up with everything except expenses. The upper and lower classes are the two that can eat in public without feeling self-conscious. Men needn't despair. They can get dignified and say swimming is a woman's game anyway. This is the time of year when the prospec- tive bride begins casting about for half a dozen plain bridesmaids. The man who has the reputation of being a confirmed bachelor may be waiting for a woman he can afford to support. | A BIT OF VERSE A COMMON MAN I would not covet wealth or fame, Nor some great deed that would proclaim Me far above my fellow-man In life's rough race where others ran. I'd be content to earn my bread With fearless step, upliffed head, To cringe to none, nor bend the knee In servile, mock humility. But I would live that folks could see No guile or veiled hypocrisy, My life a book where all might scan An independent, common man. --R. J..W, teachers were indifferent.

Mr. Reeves' address followed. 'Such services were held 'benefit of the living," for the explained the "for the dead were gone." A decorations ser- vice should serve to remind the living, especially the young who in their health and strength are prone to for- get that' they must go thé way of all tlesh some day. Coming of gray hairs and infirmities of age, reminded of this fact, but the young should learn from such services to "Remember Thy Creator in the Days of Thy Youth." When it was remembered that inter- ments had been made for years there, and when the number of graves were considered, it was truly a "City of the Dead." Pioneers of the country were interred there and this fact should stir up a good deal of appreciation in the breasts of those living to enjoy the iruits of their hard labors in the hew- ing out of homes and the clearing of he land after long voyages across the hroad ocean, from their homeland. In this connection, Rev. Mr. Reeves opined that during the Confederation | celebration, the memory of the pion- sers should be honored as well as the nemory and achievements of the Fathers of Confederation. It was a splendid idea, Mr. Reeves believed, for Lodges, soldiers and other organiza- ions to pay honor to departed bro- thers by such services. Rev. Recves old of a mother from Western Can- ida who though frail and past the hree score years and ten, travelled icross the country and over the oceail o the grave of her soldier son in France. She was determined to see hat grave. "Though friends have gone and we may partially forget them, there are times when they are vividly | don, taph on a stone, tenderly placing the finest of summer's bloom on well ten- ded graves, or pondering in retrospec- tion, and not a few teardrops were dropped in the silence of the beautifu: Sabbath afternoon, Throughout the cemetery the graves of those whose memory was being honored were res- plendent with wreaths, flowers and bright Union Jacks. Loads of flowers were taken through the quiet gates yesterday and deposited in profusion about the "City of the Dead." Many who had never seen in the cemetery before walked through the mausol=s1m and wandered about the place viewing the many fine monuments. Traffic became very much congested but was relieved with despatch by two highway officers who remained on duty at thé cemetery gates during the after- noon.

He was released. on bail. Aldsworth, driving a Packard lim- ousire was returning from Toronto and at stop 8 on the Kingston road drove head-on into a' west bouna taxi driven by Waller Purgie of Tos ronto, with Kenneth White, of Mok ronto, passenger. In' the impact White was driven through the 'glass partition separating the driver's seat from the body of the car, and sustained severe cuts about the head and neck. Purgie and Aldsworth, though badly jolted were not in- lured. It is alleged that Aldsworth driv- ing at a terrific rate of speed was one side of Purgie whe {he observed the car approaching him on the wrong side of the road drew 1. | almost entirely off the pavement in an unsuccessful attempt to avoid the crash.
