All that is finest and best is derived through Christian home life, Work er, read together, listen to- r and play together, Mr, mpson advised, Enjoy recrea- tion as a family, he suggested and finally, stressing the value of "to getherness," he sald, "Worship to ther: the family altar must be in home, where people share their finest experiences as a group." Social attitudes and habits which | tion are formed early in life stay with the child when he goes out into the community or the world, Spirit. ual qualities are the greatest asset in life, The home and the school are the prim environments where these qualities are built into the child, he declared.

In that year there was an average of 48 pupils in the standard, he sald, 36. The present average are both overcrowded, A school on Roxborough Avenue would therefore relieve congestion in the east side of the city, Schools, Mr, McEwen declared, need more space, He would like to sep a kinderg: class in every public school, at least six in the whole city, instead of one, He men. tioned the educational value of handicraft and films, At present there is no space for projection rooms but he expressed the hope that provision for such will be made, The building program of the Board of Education amounts to $42,000 a year, he said. Of this amount, the city is responsible for $27,000 and an average home-owner is saxed about $3.00 Dealing with overcrowding at the OC.V.I, he remarked that the building has accommodation for from 400 to 600 and can handle 800. The present attendance of 1, however, has created a problem which Principal A. B. O'Nelll 1s handling well, Another secondary school, built in the south end of the city, would be very helpful, but that, he said, was merely a sugges- Mr. Davies, a former member of the staff of the O.C.VI, after de- fining education, pointed out that scientific education has pr mush more than has social or reli- glous education, both of which are essential in life, After the two addresses, many questions were asked by the audi. ence and answered by Mr, MoBwen, Mrs. Thompson thanked the speak- ers on behalf of the Association, Lunch was served by a commit tee convened by Mrs, Henry Shefs field and Mrs, Roy Bagg, Mrs. J, E, Crouch was pianist for evening Many Fathers Present On Parents' Night Ritson Road Home and School Association held its meeting on Monday night this week instead of next week in order to come within Bducation Week.

Some adults complain. ed that their sight was affected af- ter being there for the meeting. Mr, BE F. Farrow emphasized the need of immediate repairs to some plaster work in the school which was badly cracked and likely to fall.

The present drive of women out of employment does not make the dismised women homemakers, it only makes them exiles in their own country, as the German Jews were under nazism, It is no mere coinci- dence that the most militaristic and brutalized people of the world are those who allow women little voice in political, business and so- cial relationships, said 'Miss Man- gan, Farmers' wives, doctors' wives, hotelkeepers' wives, as well as those women who help run their huse bands' businesses, are earning their own llving without anyone object- i to it, sald the speaker. "It is only when they come out of their homes the subject becomes cortro- versial. Surveys have shown that 11 out of 18 wage-tarning women have dependents," she said, Referring to the National War Labor Board, and the nine provine cial boards which came into being at the same time and which repres- erited the unions and the employers, Miss Mangan reminded that there were no women on any of them, 'War labor boards did not set wa= ges, their function was to approve or disapprove a wage already set while keeping wages within a range above which no employer could go, she said, Since in a democracy the govern. ment follows public opinion and does not lead it, women should be conscious of the danger of low Wa= ges for women, or of dismissal of women because of their sex and voice their Jotsts, she. od 5a ual wa or equal Ww Just. and econbmically sound policy Social - Notices IRE raws Announcements $1.00 Rosalie" of Engagement The wedding will take place at the ENGAGEMENT Mr. and Mrs, George Reynolds, R.

S-------------------- Princess Alexandra Bridal Attendant London, Nov, 6--(AP) -- Nine. year-old Princess Alexandra of Kent, yesterday was a bridesmaid for the second time in a month, She took part in the wedding of Miss Myra, Wernher, younger 'daughter of Sir Harold and Lady Wernher, and Maj, David Butter, Her page was her little brother Michael, resplendent in Stuart tar- tan kilt and red buckled shoes, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret, who had acted with Prin- cess Alexandra as bridesmaids at the Mountbatten wedding recently, also attended the Wernher-Butter wedding at St. Margaret's, West- minster, along with Queen Mary, the Duchess of Kent and Viscount and Lady Mountbatten. Auxiliary Nurse Has Come to Stay munity, but she must get off on the right footing," declared Miss Ethel Lane of Westminster (DVA) Hos~ pital, London, yesterday. addressing the special meeting the nursing section of the St. John Ambulance district conference the Royal York Hotel, Margaret hy perintendent-in-chief was gues speaker, and Mrs, Thomas W. Gil- mour presided, "If the auxiliary nurse knows her Job, if she is properly trained and is Tady a willing to take orders from doctor, as both graduates and auxiliaries must, she 1s well as theory, and this 'she can get only in hospitals," re In London the St. John nurses have been most fortunate in the splendid co-operation between hos- pitals, doctors, graduate and auxi- lary nurses, sald Miss Lane, But some other places are not so happy ~-hospitals and professional nurses do not take kindly to the ides of an auxiliary nurse around, and there is | ad consideration friction, This friction is often based on fear of graduates, and sometimes even the inatron who does not un- derstand the auxiliary nurses' quali- fications and limitations, that there will be an infringement on their territory, she said. "But today when the graduate nurse does most of the jobs that used to be dune by internes and Junior doctors she has not time to do the routine jobs which may be done just as well by an auxiliary," she pointed out. On the other hand, the auxiliary nurse has her qualifications and must not be treated as a domestic or given mon- otonous jobs like making dressings all day long, she stressed. "We are not trying to train girls to take obstetrical cases--we are simply trying to train them to be of some use in an emergency, to be of intelligent assistance to a doctor, should they be called upon," declar- ed Mrs. A, J. Bromley, lady corps officer for Toronto, speaking of the new course iu maternal and chila hygiene to be undertaken this year. St. John Ambulance Brigade in England is "tremendously strong," and has won an enviable reputa. tion on the merits of its public ser- vice over a period of years, sald Miss MacLaren, "We must win the same position here," she said. Reputation of St. John Ambu- lance had been greatly enhanced by St. John Ambulance Head Tells Of F orward Step in England Attempts in Canada fo train and register auxiliary nurses are in line with the new system adopted in England two years ago, according to Miss Margaret MacLaren, recently returned from overseas service, As lady superintendent-in-chief of the St. John Ambulance Brigade for the Dominion, she is in Toronto for the first time in her new offi- cial capacity for the first district | lectures, the Sonilernes in session at the Royal ork. The new system of training aux- {liaries was considered by Miss Mac~ Laren a "most forward step" which should prove a factor in solving the nurse shortage problem for patients who can do with non-professional aursing care. Two-year Course In Britain the course is two years, which people here consider lengthy. The training generally is given at Another project will be the de- velopment of the cadet movement for boys and girls from 11 to 17, who would learn simple nursing, assist in day nurseries and do minor jobs in hospitals before going on to more advanced trainihg. the work of the Canadians over- seas who had served in many coun- tries with great credit to the Do- minion, "It was a grand thing to have had them over there, and now we hope they will carry on in Can- a. Speaking of the cadet movement, which is one of the programy to be developed in Canada, she said, that in Britain between 1039 and, now the cadet strength had been in- creased from 6000 to 30,000, "If they could do this in wartime Brit- ain surely we can do the same in Canada's peacetime." On motion of Mrs. Willis O"Con- nor, Ottawa, seconded by Mrs, Nor man Gianelli, Toronto, & recomse mendation went forward from the meeting to the provincial board that a lady superintendent for On tario be appointed immediately to fill this vacancy. Ontario is one of the few provinces not having a lady superintendent, it was pointed out. | World Must Seek "Peace For Keeps" New York, Nov. 5--(AP)---Mrs, Wellington Koo, wife of the Chine ese ambassador to the United Sta~ tes, said today at the opening of the 23rd annual women's inter- national exposition of arts and in- dustries that "peace for keeps" must be the objective of tne would. "It may be safely said," she de- clared, "that women of other lands will look to the women of America to continue to win the peace as we have won the war." 3 Mrs, Koo described the United Nations as "the realization of man- kd for a better and happier world."
