G, Martin, the hew minister of public welfare for the province of Ontario, has intimated that plans are under way for the establishment of a school for girls, mo- delled on the lines of the Boys' Training School at Bowmanville. This is an interest- announcement, since it proves that of- ficial minds have given their unqualified ap- proval to the splendid work which is being done by Dr, C, E. Reaman at the Bowman- ville School, and that this work is worth ex- tending to girls as well as to boys. There is a great opportunity for someone ta branch out into new lines of education for any and all boys by instituting schools like that at Bowmanville, operated as private schools, with the consent and approval of the department of education. The boys at the Bowmanville school are given a type of training which any father might well envy for his bey, but the field, of course, is re- stricted to these who are eligible for admis- sion. The average boy attending public school has ne such opportunities presented te him, and even those boys who attend the private schools of Ontario, such as Ridley, . Trinity College Schools, and the like, do not have the valuable general training in veoca- tional work which is given at Bowmanville. There is a real idea in education in that thought. Both boys and girls would be given a splendid start in life, in the vocations which they wish to choose, by schools, which could be attended by the payment of fees of a moderate amount, schools with boarding facilities, and modelled on the curriculum . which has been devised and put into prac- \i tice so effectively by Dr. Reaman and his staff. One has only to visit the school and study the boys who attend it, to realize the splendid opportunity which is presented to them fo acquire an all-round training which will stand them in good stead in later life, a training far superior to them which is given to the average boy or girl who sticks te othe purely academic courses of public school, high school, and collegiate institute. SOLVING THE DOUKHOBOR PROBLEM In the last year or two, most of the news coming from the west regarding the doings of the Doukhobors has been of a disturbing nature, telling of their defiance of the laws of the Dominion and the provinces in which they were living. It is therefore somewhat of an agreeable surprise, although it bears out the oft-repeated contentions of The Times that the Doukhobors were not so black as they were painted, to read that the + Doukhobap school problem has been solved in British Columbia. Hon. Joshua Hinchcliffe, minister of edu- cation for that province, in a statement made a few days ago, said that except for a few radicals, the problem of school at- tendance in the Doukhobor colonies has vir- tually. been solved, His reports show that the communities of Doukliobors have adopt- ed | n education so enthusiastically that since the opening of the fall term their schools have been full, and in some cases will have to be enlarged. ' The minister does not tell how this change "of attitude was hy about, but jt | is cer- saaiuly splendid vement .on the part 2 ; deariment Much of the criticism ih was at the Doukhobors in the past was due to their refusal to accept the { odtes laws of their new country. With 'overcome, little more should £he be heard a of tn trouble among thege people, who hard-working and thrifty fr to c efect has been rectified, and the minister on of British Columbia, or whoever may have been responsible, is to be con- gratulated on converting the Doukhobors to the this country.

Now the premier has authorized the out of the increase in the tariff, be- cause of the price being raised to the con- sumer, and because there was no evidence that manufacturing was to be carried on in this coun le of will applaud the ac- tion of Mr. Bennett and his cabinet, not that they are anxious to have the glass industry deprived of the opportunity of development, but, because this action will serve as a warn- ing to all others who would exploit the con- sumers by taking an unfair advantage of the higher tariff. Mr, Bennett has shown ever since he assumed that office that he means business, and his latest demonstration , of this was not only very timely, but should have a deterrent effect on other lines of in- dustry which might feel tempted to increase the cost of their products because of the tar- iff changes. CANADA IS SOUND The splendid reception given by United States banking interests to the $100,000,000 Dominion of Canada loan which was put on the market the other day, and was quickly over-subscribed, gives a pretty fair idea of the high position which Canada occupies in the minds of the financial leaders of the con- tinent. They are quite convinced that Can- ada is financially sound, and that the wave of economic depression which is now passing away has not affected the financial stability of the country. They have faith in the future of Canada, these United States bank- ers, and they are prepared to show it by go- ing down into their money bags and digging up a cool hundred million dollars, not because of sentiment, but as a good business propo. sition. When the financial leaders of the United States have such faith in Canada, surely the people of this country can well afford to fol- low their example, and to take a bright view of the future. They should be convinced that it takes more than a period of depres. sion to set this country back in any perman. ent way. They should know that the re. sources of Canada to recover quickly from the effects of a slump are unparallelled by those of any other country in the world. Canadians need have no fear of the future, but it is rather paradoxical that the people of another country have to give them an oit- standing example of faith in the soundness of the country's economic and financial situa- tion. MISSED OPPORTUNITIES --. Premier Ferguson has not been slow in using his powers of observation in Great Britain, Already he has been checking up on the effect of some of his policies, and has found the results not so good. This is shown in a cablegram which he sent to the minister of agriculture, urging him to let the apple growers of Ontario know that they were missing golden opportunities of finding a profitable market for their fruit in Britain, He found that in Britain there was a large demand for Canadian apples, but that the supply was several thousand barrels short of the requirements. Naturally, this worried the premier. A few months age his government adopted a policy and appointed an official for the ex- press purpose of helping the apple-growers to market their crops in overseas markets. Now he has found that the markets are there, but the apple growers are not taking advantage of the machinery which they se! up for him. This seems a peculiar situation. Canadian farmers are all howling for markets for their produce, but here is an instance of a market ready to absorb thousands of barrels of Canadian fruit with the growers not suf- ficiently interested to take advantage of it. It looks as if the provincial agriculture needs to give wider publicity to the farmers as to the opportunities which are being opened up for them, since the farmers apparently are now aware of them.

Yet we as a people and a government have no grounds for rotest against this Canadian action, t simply gives us a dose of our own medicine, It is one more reminder that we cannot expect to go on for- ever trying to shut out foreign goods without provoking others to demon- strate that two can play at this game, For the present, certainly, it looks as if our Lady of the Snows were tyrning a rather cold shoulder to the nited States. ---- HE ADVERTISED (St, Catharines Standard) One local merchant witheut count- ing Saturday sales, reported his best week in many months, on Friday last.

Barton, M.D. HOW POSITION OF BODY AF- + FECTS THE HEART In examining recfuits for overseas service we often came across a ner- vous - individual whose heart rate would be 100 beats or more to the minute, instead of the usual 72 or 76. Now a rapid heart is one of the first symptoms in goitre trouble and also in tuberculosis, and naturally we were on the look out for these conditions. However, the recruit was asked to sit down or to lie down on a couch for a few minutes while we went on with the examination of others, In most instances we would find that the heart had dropped from 100 beats to 84 or even 80. The recruit was asked to do a little exercise like slow jogging or stationary running for 50 steps, the heart rate was tak- en, and after two minutes rest, was taken again. If the heart did not beat too rapidly after the exercise and was back to its normal rate in two minutes, the recruit was accept- ed as far as his heart was concerned. However, if after lying down a few minutes the heart rate did not be- come slower, sve went further into our tests for thyroid or even tuber- culosis Why? Because where there is just ner- voysness to contend with, the lying down position will slow down the heart very considerably, whereas in thyroid trouble it has very little af- fect, in slowing down, and sometimes none at all, Drs. Dell "Acqua, and Ascher, Berlin, made careful tests of 137 per- sons with thyroid trouble and 73 nervous individuals. In all these persons the pulse rate was tested in the standing, and in the lying down position. The tests were made several times, and every- thing that might interfere with the tests--excitement, emotion and so forth--were removed in so far as was possible. In most persons with thyreid trouble the pulse was "slightly" more rapid when they were standing; than when they were lying down, in others the rate was the same in either position, and in others it was even increased when the person was lying down. However in nervous patients the pulse was much more rapid when they were standing than when they were lying down, In none of these did the pulse remain the same in both positions. The average increase when stand- ing in thyroid cases was about § beats, whereas in nervous cases it was 25 beats. I am not a great believer | in having you try to "examine" yourself, but this slowing down of the heart when you sit or lie down will remove any worry you may have about thyroid trouble.

This like the other, may be constant or at. certain periods: It is never wise to neglect any of these symptoms however, they are nature's means of warning you of impending danger and if you do not heed the warning you alone must suffer. Is your vision for distance and near as keen now as it once was? If not how long has it been worse or becoming so? What were the circumstances that brought this to your notice? Has the failure been gradual? Is vision getting worse or improv. ing? When reading, do you pick up line after line readily? Does the type or figures blur and get mixed up?
