The editorial in the V.V. stales that many a* youth would benefit prtally by such a plan, while others would fiiu! it little more than a chance lo get away from accustom- ed restraints and the opportunity for enjoyment of the "beer and skittles" side of military training. * • « As the whole issue affects teeners directly, v.e thought it would be a good idea to stop a few of them on the street and get their reactions. From 16 <lifterent boys \vc got 16 different answers, but on the whole they favoured the idea. Kor some time now many of the schools have carried cadet training as part of their curriculum and the guys have found that they have benefited both physically and scientifically. War to- «lay is largely science against science. » • * Some of the answers we jotted «lown were: "I would like the' plan if there was a chance of making it a permanent work" â€" "This idea would only upset my education and ke a waste of time. By the time we have another war, the methods of fighting will be so changc-d that what we would learn would be of no use anyway."â€" "Soimds swell to me. i Bke the idea of being paid for n. holi- llay. Who knows, I might someday te a colonel?" â€" "Our country will kave to be belter prepared for the next war than they were for the last one. I think the idea s sound and good for any cost it would be to a country"â€" "I think young fellows of our age need training like that, es- pecially at our age. It would be a good start on building a good man." â€" "If temptations were placed in front of the boys like they were during the war, it would be tar more (urmful than good." We are in no position to say whether a country is doing right or wrong in such a plan. V\c do think however that a great rfeal of care should be taken in making rsch plans for 18-year-olds and that whoever is working on such a s\ stem should have all the pros and cons lined up before presenting such a plan for pubhc approval. * * * This is the first week of July and the hot weather is coming our way at hst.

Clarke When tlie teundations ot Ontario were being laid four generations ago, lew men had the time, the forc- thcught and the persistence to keep a record ot the daily happenings around them This hook is based on the Journals of William Bell, one in.in who had the persistence and made the time. The Rev \\illiain Bell was the first Presbyterian minister in the baeixwooiis of l)ntario. inland from flie St. Lawrence and the Great Lakes' waterfront. He arrived at Perth, the centre of the Ridcau settlements, in 1S17. cme year after the first tree for the settle- ment was cut. and he remain- ed until his death forty years later. He therefore saw tlic begin- nings of all sides of community life establi.sheil in Eastern Ontario. This gives his day-by-day, or sometimes less regular, notes an unusual his- toric freshness and value. A Man Austere, WILLIAM BELL, Parson and Pioneer...

No doubt you will ha\ e read the details in the papers sc this account will have tc dc with impressiiins rather than facts. W'e joined the motley throng around the platform in the afternoon to hear 'the addresses and to sec the celebrities of the W'l. world. It was very hot among the crowd and there were many who fc^nnd it too much for them. These in charge of the First Aid tent m the grounds said they were busy all the time, iliey even had some stretcher cases » • » ' During the afternoon the College kept up its reputation for serving generous and appetising refresh- ments.

I've come to the end of my space but not the end of ray story. Next week I will tell you cf a few amnsing sidehghts that you vvill never ;;et in ar.y newspaper write- ups. Job was a real, not a fictitious person, possibly antidating Jewish history. He was a wealthy and hon- ored prince heading a powerful clan, the family priest of a happy household. Job Was "perfect" â€" not sinless and upright, correct in conduct, con- scientious and consistent He feared God as a devout and devoted sub- ject. He shunned wickedness; he deteste<l moral depravity; he could do nothing that corrupted him or contaminated others. Helping every- body, he harmed nobody. Job's charity for the poor allowed none tc perish for want of clothing, for the fleece of his sheep warmed and covered them, His consideration for tiie orphan and the dependent kept him from lifting up his hand (or â- â€¢shaking his fist",) at them: rather than do such mischief Job would prefer that his arm be wrenched from the shoulder blade * • • Job fought a false faith in the great wealth he had won, for he never put his trust in gold. He al- lowed himself no fleeting joy over his riches or his rank, despising self- conceit. He engaged in no false worship, as kissing his hand in ador- ation to the heavenly bodies â€" the Sun or the Moon or the Stars. So Job remained "steadfast, un- movable, always abounding in the work of the Lord". A man "perfect and upright",' his name stood and surviveel the severest tests and thus became an example of suffering affliction, and cf patience.
