w.oo Per Year. _ United Statesâ€"$3.50 Per uo e o e e . S e en e it There are many who have felt that while Adoiph Hitler and his associate gangsters are A pack of thorough brutes without heart or conâ€" science and deserving of nothing but contempt and hatred, the Italians on the other hand have > decided touch of the ridiculous overâ€"riding at times the thought of their viciousness. The conâ€" stant conceited exhibitionism of Mussolini has roused many a scornful smile in the world. Musâ€" solini has acted most of his time like a halfâ€"wit possessed of a certain low form of cunning and obsessed with a silly mania for posing and perâ€" forming. It is a fact that the glaring ingratitude and treachery of Italy to both Britain and France have earned for the Bootleg country contempt that is akin to fierce hatred. Yet even this doés not spare them from the ridicule heaped on the inefficient and inept gangster. It has been a loy to all the world to see the way the roving Italiaqu have been manhandled by little Greece. Ital march against Greece has not only been smpped â€"it has been turned.‘ And the ridiculous pOPS up at each turn. The spectacle of thouv of Italians dropping their weapons and fleeing from the Greeks is the touch of the ridiculous that all expect. Italy coveted, the town of Kastoria in Macedonian Greece. Attempt to take this town; l however, were foiled. So it can be said that the Italians could not take Kastorig. How their stomachs will turn when they have rto take their medicine from the Greeks in the tural raw and unpalatable form.! * 4 s The purpo’e of: "Education Week" is to rouse| thought ang interest and to inspire action in reâ€" gard to ec}f ation. In a letter from the Ontario Secondad' School Teachers‘ Federation, it is said: "Of course Canada‘s war efforts are rightfully cla.imwg the focus of attention and effort, On the ot,her hand we feel that Canadian citizens snould not forget the vital part played by our ‘schools in fostering and maintaining the ideals of democracy." This is very true. It might be addâ€" ed that there would have been no war of the presâ€" ent type had education of the right sort been uni-l versal. Canada, of course, could do little to make that universality of education, but Canada must bear the responsibility for its own treatment of education, and it is a certainty that had the right type of education been fully employed in Canada in the years since the last war, at least this counâ€" try would be better prepared to take its part in the conflict forted upon democracy in the world.| The blame for the form of education that left this\ and other countries in the condition that so greatâ€" ly favoured the dictators must not be placed upon the teachers, or even on the educational authoriâ€" ties. The people themselves must take their share of the fault. The p%ople believed what they wishâ€" ed to believeâ€"the lazy, comrortable pite the warnings that came to them from all| quarters. It may not be out of place to refer to a plan strongly sponsored a couple of years ago by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers‘ Federaâ€" tion and other similar organizations. This plan was for greater attention to physical training and health matters among the pupils in the secondary schools. The teachers emphasized the desirabiliâ€" ty of this from a commercial, industrial and busiâ€" ness standpoint. It was suggested that in a highâ€" ly competitive age if the youth of Canada were to hold its place among the nations of the world one of its greatest assets would be healthâ€"physiâ€" cal, as well as mental and moral. If the teachers did not stress the fact that healthy young men and women would be the better equipped to de-l fend themselves against aggression of the physiâ€" cal type, it was, no doubt, because the public was not in mood for that sort of argument. The majority of the people were determined to beâ€" lieve the unbelievable. They had to be educatedl in this particular. The teachers took the logical view that if they could induce the public to st.udy! and consider matters of this kind, the rest of the battle would be well on the way to being won. Even as it was, the able and earnest pleas of the teachers in regard to traln!ng. discipline and the best possible p.hyslcal health for the pupil.s of the mdary schools did not fieet with the general _ The Ontario Teachers‘. o‘ouncn and allied orâ€" ganizations have asked t.mt next week, Nov. 10th to Nov. 16th, be genera]y observed as "Education Week.‘" With "Newspapér Week" so recently obâ€" served, the newspapers of Ontario can scarcely do otherwise than lend‘their best efforts to seeing that "Education Waek” is duly noted, for the more education is prized and advanced, the better for the newspa,persâ€"«a-nd mdeed for every legitimate enterprise. _ ‘# * iyn yer es wer in oh. . ie . lc .

A comprehensive definition might be summed up in the words, "training for life," this life being considered in more than its mere maâ€" terial parts, though these should by no means be ‘neglected. "Education Week" will be a success if each and every one takes a little more interest in schools and students and teachers, and gives of his best thought to the value and the possibihtles ‘of education. For over a year now the present disreputable war has. been arrogantly crowding everything else off the front page. The most sensational other gangsters have to take a back page while the gangster nations of Europe use up all the banner lines. The most revolting of everyday scandals has to make way for the most indecent of humiliâ€" ations in the history of the world. â€"The most astounding of oldâ€"time murders. is far, overâ€" shadowed by the stories of the wholesale butchery of the madmen overseas. There has been a popuâ€" lar belief that nothing could crowd the gangster warfare off the front page. That seemed to be one of the worst of the evils of the war. But this week saw the notorious war rudely consigned to an inside page. The United States presidental electlons did the trick. Canadians were so deâ€" Highted th'at their® only"regrét is that both dential candidates could not be elected. \ United States newspapers blossomed forth on Wednesâ€" day with all the headlines, all the prominence given to the presidential election. It was much the same in Canada. Even in Great Britain the tendency was much the same. And this was all fitting and proper. The presidential election reâ€" sults were actually of more world importance than the iimmediate progress of the war or the deâ€" tailing of the current bombing here or there or the losses or gains on this or that front. The news, good or ill, will be duplicated in a day or two and the momentary victories or reverses will have| little vital effect on the final issue. The presiâ€" dential election is of more vital moment to the final victory for democracy and freedom than any of the minor issues of the war. Canadians â€"alâ€" ways have taken a neighbourly interest in United States elections, but this time: the concern was much more than casual. It was feit that it was hot political parties that were being weighed but it was democracy itself that was on trial. It is true that popular favour in Canada, perhaps leanâ€" ed towards President Roosevelt. But that was simply because he was known and esteemed. He had been tried in the fire and found to be a friend to Canada, to the Empire. Many felt that he is the first president of the United States who has ‘boldly shown a genuine friendship for Canada. His reâ€"election delights the people of this counâ€" try. But had Mr. Willkie been elected, there would have been no regrets or depression in Canâ€" ada over the matter. It would have been believâ€" ed that the president of the great republic and the republic itself still remained good friends and good neighbours at a time in the world when good friends and good neighbours are beyond price. ‘The interest here was not between candidates or parties or policies. The difference in platforms and promisesâ€"of the two contending parties in the United States was so slight as not to be eviâ€" dent to Canadians. What Canadians were interâ€" ested in â€" what really thrilled them â€" was the! tspirit in which the United States electorate faced the situation. There is no question but that it was the most momentous election in the history Of the United States. The odd feature of the matter is that the country would be safe enough no matter which candidate became president. The issue, in other words, was not so much in the candidates or the parties, as in the attitude of the people. While Germany and Italy will not give the same headlines and prominence to the preâ€" sfdential election as was assured in the Empire |and its Dominions, the contest was followed by |the people of Hunland and the Bootleg country with the most anxious. attention. The Nazis have { not hesltated to say that democracies are ineffecâ€" ‘ tive and inert». The lie was given to that thought ‘when over 50,000,000 United States voters polled ._g Week"â€"that is the motive ot "Educ:t 9n w to start the people giving gremr study aPtule 6 est to th* vital value of edu¢ation and the rieed for its constant development and progit While the chief theme of, Educatton eek" ldst year centred round the thought of ph: s fical traifiaf ing and health developfnent in the this year the central theme of all activities of “Edu- cation Week" will be "Educationgyor Democracy in War and Peace." It is well remember that had the ideas suggeo{ed by the in regard to physical health ahd trainin@been in force years ago, Canada would have beenyin much better conâ€" dition to face the world of §0â€"day. ‘This is worth noting, not to deplore t.he fhortsightedness of the past, but to point the mo al that the teachers had the long wision in thelf advocacy in the past, so they deserve special | onsideration in the plans they bring forward ty day, even though they may appear unfamiliar. , For "Education week‘" to be properly observed, however, it is g9t necessary to discuss war, or peace, or dem Facy.
