THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1927 SCHOOL DAYS AND VACATION DAYS « Jume's passing marked the end of the school Low dg 8,000 Oshawa public 'school children. Their promotion to higher grades was almost without exception, and now the first week of the'summer vacation draws to its close. Almost an infinity of 'time seems to separate the jubilant youngsters from 'the sound of school bells that, in September, will again sum- mon -them to shoulder the task of self-im- provement, For a long time it has been generally accept- ed that normal children go 'to school with re- luetanee -and 'leave 'with ithe joy of prisoners released, Phere ware several things which in- dicate that such is not the case, Fine school buildings, teachers who 'regard their work as a lifetime-profession, and the practical elimina- tion of corporal punishment have robbed school days of some of their former terrors, whatever they may have lost in sentimental interest. "There is no denying that' many men would give oll. that they have in worldly. goods to be a cul- prit again before a stern bar of summary jus- tice such as ruled the Little Red School Houses of long ago. The very tone of public school bells seems td have changed with the years, Their sum- mons now is a song' of opportunity, not a' dole- ful eall to duty that, to children of former gen- cratiens, often seemed inexplicable, The Path of Knewledge has indeed been "made straight." In the schools as elsewhere perfection is merely an ideal, but education today offers more than ever before, 'It is an intriguing thought that pupils of the upper public school years know more of 'the world 'they live in than 'the wisest oi the an- tients. This is not comparing medern children 'with ancient statesmen and philosophers, Whatever their scientific ignorance they had in- igence--they knew how to think, iMPhinking is the end of study, When a child n use its reasoning faculties to its own ad- SD wee it is 'edueated--not before, vAnd when a man can think to the advantage of 'others as well as himself, he is civilized-- nbt before, i "STATESMEN juin Sop Fhere were giants in those days--in the days en Confederation was accomplished, To- day and to-morrow and :ll this year we give special honour to the Fathers of Confederation t dugh we forget, that probably there were Mdthers of Confederation, too.

The Ontario Reformer: estimates that the city lost $2,600 through that strange 'bit of municipal financing. But that was not all. The fire engine bought came from Chatham, and the Ontario Reformer says: "The boiler 'of the 'Chatham 'engine leaked the day it was tested and it has been:leaking ever since. But the worst feature of this most improvident transaction is that. the profits go into the 'pockets of the very men who were more determined to 'buy the engine ati any price" i} \ y A 'Local news for the week of Oct. 22, 1875, briefly record the expanaion of one factory and the loeation here of another. A party of royster- 'ing youths intruded upon a house near the sta- tion and were repélled by a "fowling piece." 'A report was current that one of the hoeodlums had died of his wounds, The Ontario Reformer 'pays its respects to «the Orillia "Packet" for suggesting a general dismemberment of Ontario County; in the in- térests of adjoining counties and also for the purpose 'of forming a new one, "We fancy that the inhabitants of this Coun- ty would have something to say about the mat- ter before we are sliced up and passed around in that fashion," is the pointed editorial sum- mary on the "Packet's' proposals... \ ORANGEVILLE AND TORONTO NOW IN SAME CLASS ' Though Ontario's various munficipalities are proud of Toronto, there is no denying that the Provincial capital's attitude towards its smal- 'ler brethren in some matters is often resented. Illustrating this was Toronto's reception of the news of a prisoner escaping from Orange- ville jail recently. Toronto, #0 put it badly, seemed to think that incident was something peculiar to a "hiek" : town, like radenoids 'to barber shop tenors. ig . However, Tdronto hewspapers of July 5, re- port the loss of a prisoner who had twiee:es- ¢aped 'from a Tennessee penitentiavy where he was serving a 20 year sentence for murder, This dangerous 'criminal, whose record was well known, managed to eseape from the Tor- onto city hall jail, The method he used was véry simple, given strength and desperation. The windows of the corridor along which he was proceeding to the cell block were open. On the inside they were covered by iron screens. It 'was the work of a moment for the Tennes- see murderer to snatch the screen from the wall, leap 'out and dash across 'the lawn to tieedom, Toronto's police force will receive enough home criticism without being rebuked by out- siders, It is, ineidentally, one of the most loyal and efficient police organizations in Canada. But their prisoner escaped just as the Orange- ville constables' prisoner did. The condition of being a "hick" town, then, must rest upon other points than holding pris- oners, if Toronto is to maintain its attitude of metropolitan superiority.

Barton, M, D. I am just wondering what thoughtful men and women are go- ing to think about this latest idea in' efficiency. As you know in early times man had to seek his food by hunting, later by tilling the ground, and still later by working at various occupa- tions which paid hm: money with 'which to purchase food. This exer- cising of the hody kept his heart, Tings, and various organs and tis- sues in a healthy condition. How- ever, with our present civilization there are so many occupations to say nothing of the professions, that require absolutely mo physieal work, that man is bound to go down hill physically 'unless something is done to counteract this, Accordingly, we have our ahtletic clubs, Y. M, C, A's, and similar or- ganizations, golf, tennis, and other clubs. In addition to this we have thousands of folks who 'take their morning exercise by radio, phonog- vaphic record, or in complete "deter- mined' silence.

He is actually giving a cash bo- nus to each of his employees who takes in an hour's exercise daily. Why? Because he believes that this daily exercise will increase efficiency and decrease the number of absences, on the part of persons who stay home when they have slight ailments. A person who gets enough exercise to keep him fit is happier, and more interested in his joh. Now this ex- ecutive is paying out his money ag an investment, and will mest as- suredly get a great return on his investment, To quote Gladstone again "Al time and money spent in training the body, pays a larger rate of In- terest than any other investment."

And it took Flossy May Durham only 17 years to satisfy herself that "cradle kleptomaniac ing" is highly unethical and unsue cessful in wedlock. Reference: Ed- ward W.
