FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1981 DEPRESSION AND EDUCATION It is somewhat paradoxical that the de- pression which was made it necessary for public bodies to exercise the most rigid econs 'omies in their expenditures should, at the same time, have prevented the board of edu- cation making as large a reducation in its ~ estimates as most citizens would have liked . tosee. Yet this, according to Dr. F. J. Done- _ van, chairman cf the board, is exactly what has happened. : 3 It is not difficult to follow the line of "thought suggested by this assertion. When "times are good and work is plentiful, it is . not difficult for boys and girls to find em- . ployment, so they leave school as early as they can legally do so, and go to work. In | times of depression, however, it is hard for . them to find employment, so, rather than "waste their time these boys and girls gon- "tinue their education, remain at school long- er than they would normally do, and thus . afd to the numbers of students to be educat- The same reason of depression is respon- gible, too, for the increased attendance at for young men and women, * finding themselves handicapped in the labor . market, go to these classes to fit themselves for better positions, for which there is a greater field. : These are, in some respects, healthy con- _ ditions, since they add to the period of edu- sation of our young people. But, at the same | _gime, they add to the problems of the board The attendance at the collegi- ate and 'ocational institute, for instance, is 160 greater than last year, in spite of the . decrease in population, while the enrollment at the evening classes is 250 more than last year. This means more teachers and added educational costs, which cannot be avoided, and which have prevented the board of edu- on making as great a reduction as had been hoped for. Thus the very conditions which makes lower taxes imperative has, in this case operated to prevent them being made lower. NEWSPAPERS THE BACKBONE The testimony of Harry Ireland, advertis- ing manager of the General Motors of Can- ada, Limited, as to the place which news- ~ paper advertising occupies in merchandising, is worthy of attention. Pointing out that * the company was carrying on the most ag- P sive sales campaign in its history, with a view to bettering business conditions, Mr. freland says that nearly all known types of advertising, including radio, motion pictures, and magazine advertising are being used, e adds: at, newspaper continues to form the backbone of oUF SANpaigns po for the continue to do so.

Newspaper adver- ; Tn now acknowledged to be the run- mate of business development, and those who would secure their full share of the busi- ness which is available at the present time, , do better than adopt the policy of 'the General Motors of Canada. FOREIGN TEXTBOOKS IN SCHOOLS Considerable progress has ben made dur- ng og past wi or two in banning foreign ks from Canadian Schools, The Can- adian Chamber of Commerce hag devoted much attention to the subject and the con- sequent publicity has had excellait rosults.

In British Columbia the minister of Ed- uaction has played a leading role in banning foreign textbooks from the schools. He be- lieves that young Canadians should be | taught something of "heir own country and of the great empire of which it forms a part, and he is acting accordingly. Doubtless On- tario's minister of education believes like- wise and will see 'o it that Canadian and British literature is given the front place in all schools. EDITORIAL NOTES One can be sure that the Liberals will see that the MacDonald government is not de- feated until the Electoral Reform Bill is passed. After that, anything is liable to happen. Ferguson is being missed already. Very little is being heard of the Grenville election campaign. The man who threw grape-fruit at Rudy Vallee and missed deserves to be punished-- for having missed. A French mother of sixteen children has been made a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. There are plenty of women down in Quebec province who could qualify for hon- ors on that basis. Other Editors' Comment i THE FIRST BUSINESS MAN ndon News-Chronicle) The Prince of Wales' keen interest in the South American trade has lng been known; but his invita- tion, published today, to the ex-Master Cutler and the President of the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce to come to London and talk about it with him pri- vately must be without parallel. The proposed con- ference is by no means a formating, for the Prince must have collected a good deal of first-hand inform. ation on the Argentine himself, and is, no doubt, ready and cager'for more, There was once a Prince of Wales who liked to be called the First Gentleman of Europe. Our own Prince is in a fair way to win the title of the First Business Man--gquite us honour able, much harder to earn, and far more useful. DOWN WITH UGLINESS (Toronto Globe) The Bell Telephone Company was justified in mak ing something of a ceremony of the removal from Yonge streets of its last telephone pole, It has set a good example to other public services in this respect. Toronto has lagged somewhat behind other centres in this matter of strict beautification. . Recently considerable headway has been made in Toronto itself, The new uptown store of the T. Eaton Company owes some of it beauty to the elim- ination of unsightly poles and wires. Even the over- head stay-wires which hold the power lines of ihe street car system have been fixed directly to the building.

Trinidad is using less Canadian flour than formerly; at least, less tlour (by 4,600 bags) was import- ed from the Dominion in 1930 than in 1929, The Canadian Trade Commissioner to the British West Indies, Lester S, Glass, in an inter. view with The Trinidad Guardian, says he thinks Trinidad house: wives are abandoning the use of tlour as a luxury, But one Trinidad baker rays that his importation of Canadian flour in the past year was In- creased by nearly 100 per cent.

Economy fis given by the government as the reason for this move. A new 6,000 ton cruiser however will replace the olsolete Brishane. The move is said to be the re- sult of conversations between the British Admirality and Premier James Scullin during his recent visit to England, Apparently the changing hands of the submarime involves an un- dertaking of which Australia will roplace them with the latest type of the Leander class cruiser as soon as finances permit. The change does not effect the recent Navy Treaty, because the Em. pire's naval ships are treated as a unit, and, accordingly, the sub. marines are merely being trans- erred, The agreement will give Aus tralit four up-to-date over-water craft, which will provide good cilities for training, It is point ol out that submarines are extrem. 1 expensive to operate, and the nowest type of cruiser has all. round advantages to Australia, Meanwhile the giving up of the submarines will save Australia yma thoueands of pounds, It is not desclosed what the British Government fs paving Australia for them, Presumably Great Brit. ain fs purchasing them instead of building new oues under the 1930 estimates, One of the features of 'Jane's Fighting Ships, 1930," is a plan of tht Leander class which class, says the editor, 'represents a retitn to ganity in cruiser design, compared with tho overgrown and over Jun. ned 10,000 Treaty type (H.

BELGIAN ORDER 1S TRIUNPH FOR BRITISH CRAFT Orders for British "Planes by Belgian Government Will Total $1,500,000 l.ondon.--Facts which came to light within the last few days em- phasize the achievement of a Dri tish company in obtaining from the Belgian government the largest on der for service aeroplanes placed in Great Britain by a foreign power since the war. The struggle among ajreraft constructors of several na tions for contracts worth more than $1,600,000 belongs to the high romance of business, When tho British representa- tives "Firefly" single.seator fight. er and "Fox" two.seater, reached the Belgian testing ground, the de- cision to buy from I'rance and Czecho-Slovakia was already taken, and the contracts awaited the sig- nature by the responsible govern. ment officials, © These documents were torn up after the British ma. chines had flown in demonstration before Belgian air officers and tech- nical experts, The "Firefly" galned the day by exhibiting a range of speed and rocket-like rate of climb which far surpassed any other competing aeroplane. In the hands of the Belgian air officers, the machine was put through every conceivable manoeuvrve, including flight up- side down over the entire length of the aerodrome, showinz ease and swiftness of control that sure prised and delighted the pilots, The "Fox", powered like the "Firefly" with the Rolls-Rovee "I type motor of about 600 horse power. was equally outstanding in fierce competition, Belgium is now assured of fly.
