The address delivered by W. M. Robb, | exchange teacher from Scotland at the | Oshawa Collegiate and Vocational Insti- * tute; to the Kiwanis Club the other day, . demonstrates better than anything else the value of the system of exchanging teachers. Mr. Robb gave a thoroughly interesting address, in which he made com- parisons between the educational system of Scotland and that of this country, as he has had the opportunity of observing it. He did not try to become dogmatic, but admitted at the outside that, with so brief an acquaintance with Canadian meth- ods, he could only give impressions. Yet these impressions were valuable, Mr. Robb's comments on Canada's edu- cational system were enlightening, since they showed how that system compares with that in effect in the mother country, which is admittdely ahead of Canada in education. ten lay too much stress on examinations, and spoke of the tense atmosphere which exists in Canadian schools at examination time. "In this, he will have the support of many Canadian educationists, and many parents as well, who believe that an examination, " on account of the nervous strain which it engenders, is not a fair test of the capabili- ties of a student. The summing up of the respective edu- 'cational systems of Canada, Great Britain 'and the United States, by Mr. Robb, tallies 'very closely with a comparison which we were given a few years ago by Dr. Francis \ Rolt-Wheeler, a noted United States edu- 'ecationist and writer of books for boys and ~ girls. He was not enamoured of the educa- 'tional systems of his own country, and his 'appraisal was as fowwols: "A child of 16 in the United States is only advanced as L far as a child of 14 in Canada and a child 'of 12 in Great Britain." While in different . words, this is about the same appraisal as | » was made by Mr. Robb. ' The outstanding thing about his address, however, was that it revealed the value of exchanging teachers between Canada and the old country. It is of mutual benefit to have new ideas and new thoughts brought to us from across the seas, and to have ideas taken back to the old country - iby the teachers Who come out here. Per- . {haps all the teachers who come from Scot- land in exchange are not so capable as Mr. bb has proven himself to be, for, in the few months he has been in Oshawa, he has i smade some fine contributions to the life of * £the community, and has conferred on it . "benefits which, we hope, will be paralleled | iby those conferred by Mr. McLeod, with t iwhom he has exchanged positions for a year, on the community from which he came in Scotand. A Wonderful Recovery Six months ago, Great Britain was in the throes of a financial crisis Which hreatened the economic life of the nation. 'A month ago, she surprised the world by paying, in gold, loans amounting to $250,- 000,000 received jointly from France and %he United States. This week she is again urprising the world by announcing that he intends to pay to United States banks ° further sum. of $150,000,000 in gold or s equivalent, as part payment on a loan $200,000,000 which does not mature ntil August 28 next. This is a remarkable achievement for a untry which was nearing the financial ocks of destruction. It provides convine- gr testimony that when the British people et their minds to the achievement of mething out of the ordinary, to the ac-: complishing of a difficult task, they usual- #ly succeed. It would have been considered smarkable for Britain to meet her obliga- Lions next August, when the loan actually alls due, but to pay off three-quarters of five months in advance of maturity is omewhat phenomenal. The world is being given a splendid monstration of the value of British uck and determination. Having set her use in order, and balancéd her budget, Britain is now clearing off her internation. obligations in short term loans as rapid- Such action is bound to ave a stabilizing influence on world econ- jomics generally, and particularly on the change rate for the pound sterling in United States. Britain may be off the He criticized the tendency to gold standard, but she is showing a won- derful recovery from the chaos with which her financial structure was threatened last fall, angd will, much sooner than the rest of the world anticipates, be in a posi- tion to demand a premium on her currency, instead of having to accept a discount, A Disturbing Report The most disturbing report which has pet emanated from Tokio, since the trouble with China began, is that which claims that 100,000 Russian troops are being con- .centrated in the vicinity of Vladivostock, near the border of Northern Manchuria. The report goes further, and says that an iodine factory in that city is now engaged in the manufacture of poison gas. It also adds that the fortifications on Vladivostock Harbor and Russian Island are being strengthened. If this report is true, it can only mean one thing. It means that Russia is making definite plans to interfere in the Sino- Japanese controversy in a big way, and that there is a veiled threat against Japan which means against the peace of the whole world. Russia would not be mobiliz- ing an army on the Manchurian border for nothing. She has been playing a waiting and watching game so far, while Japan has been doing as she liked in Manchuria, With large Russian interests -in Manchuria, which has been largely a sphere of Russian influence under a secret treaty signed with China, Russia is not likely to stand by idly while Japan gains control of that whole 'province, . There is the situation, and it is disturb- ing. The only hope for the maintenance of world-wide peace is that the Japanese sources of information may not have been correctly informed. It may be that the re- port is not in accordance with facts. We can recall that in 1915 there was a report that tens of thousands of Russian soldiers had landed at Aberdeen, Scotland, and rushed southward by train to take boat for France. This story was highly-colored. Many people declared they had seen the 'Russian troop trains, Yet there was not a word of truth in the whole report. It may be that the same thing has happened in connection with the supposed mobiliza- tion of Russians on the Manchurian border, and that time will explode the report as being simply the product of someone's imagination, Editorial Notes Ford has decided to bring out an eight- cylinder car. We wonder if he made this decision before the announcement was made that eight-cylinder cars were to be taxed $20 for a license fee in Ontario, With trade figures away down, customs returns are bound to suffer, so we can expect increases in other forms of taxation when the budget is brought down. The local dispute between the board of education and city council is growing more like the Sino-Japanese trouble every day. One day there is a report of a truce, but the next day the war breaks out again. ) Other Editor's Comments FERENT DE VALERA? (New York Evening Post) But the Dg Valera of today is not the De Valera of that stormy period. Ie may still rage against England and make a complete break in the relations between the Irish Free State and the British Em pire a cardinal point in his political program, but it 13 actually his moderation and peaceful accept- ance of the regime he once opposed so bitterly that have made possible his dramatic comeback, Iur- thermore, there is little doubt that if he gains the reins of power, responsibility will still further temper his zeal, and it will be by constitutional rather than forceful measures that he will attempt to modify the present relationship between. his country and England, For the tact is that Ircland now exercises so great a degree of freedom that such questions as the oath of allegiance arc largely of a theoretical or academic significance, England knows that it can have no hold over Ireland except in so far as Ire- land recognizes such a hold oi its own tree will, Through .the adoption of the. Statute of Westmin- ster the British Dominions are in every sense co- cqual partners with Lngland in the British Com- monwealth of Nations and even secession is to all intents and purposes an acknowledged right. Able to withdraw from the British Empire if it geally so desires, it is inevitable that Ireland today would hesitate to take a step which would profit her little. On practical grounds De Valera would find it difficult to carry out his campaign pledges, but, re- gardless ol such political uncertainties, we repeat that they are not a vital issue. When England can accept De Valera's victory with equanimity, it ig clear that what we once knew as the Irish prob- lem is a matter of history, BITS OF VERSE A COUNTRY CHURCH I think God seeks this house, serenely white, Wpon this hushed, em-bordered street as one With many niansions seeks, in calm delight, A boyhood cottage intimate with sun. I think God feels Himself the Owner here, Not just rich Host to some 'seli-seeking throng, But friend of village folk who want Him near And offer Him simplicity and song. No stained-glass windows hide the world from view, And it is well. The world is lovely there, Beyond clear panes, where branch-scrolled skies look through, And fields and hills, in morning hours of prayer. God spent Hig youth with ficld and hill and tree, And Christ grew up in rural Galilee, --Violet Alleyn Storey. Eve Care and | ye Strain | by C. HE. Tuek, Opt.
