"__ In the course of an address to the teachers of Manitoba a few s ago on the subject of teachers‘ salaries, Dr. J. T. M. Anderâ€" n cited recent advertisements that had come under his observaâ€" An iceâ€"cream maker was offered a salary of $2,000; a barâ€" , $1,560, and a teacher, $900, all on the same page of one news: r. Why, he asked also, does the superintendent of an insane ylum receive two or three times the salary of the principal of a ormal School? He might add that many men pay chauffeurs more to care for their automobiles than the teachers of their childâ€" ren are paid for training their minds and developing their characâ€" CEF. Dr. Anderson gives three prineipal reasons for these condiâ€" tions. The first is that the public generally has taken small inâ€" terest in educationâ€"a condition, however, which is gradually beâ€" ing corrected. The second is that entrance to the profession has been too easyâ€"another condition which is gradually being corâ€" rected, but which nevertheless must exist for some time, so long as there is a great demand for teachers than can be met by those permanently engaged in teaching as a profession. The third is that teachers have been disposed to accept without protest the condi tions that have existed, with the result that the public has come to regard them as docile creatures underbidding each other for posiâ€" tions and getting fuil value for their services. ' s Teachers themselves can do a great deal to improve these con ditions ; in fact, the remedy is almost entirely in their own hands iP;rents must be made to realize what the duties of a school teach er are, and what service an efficient teacher is capable of rendering Teachers must train and develop themselves for leadership, espec ially in the rural communities The teacher who makes a commun ity realize the essential nature of the service rendered in the schools will create respect for the profession, and with greater re spect fair compensation will come naturally. ’ When parents realize that teachers have a higher duty tc perform than simply teach their children to read, write and calâ€" ealateâ€"that in the influence they may exert in other directions they may, and should be, character builders and nation builders in the largest sense, they will be willing to pay salaries that will strengthen and stabilize the nrofession by attracting to and reâ€" taining in it the country‘s best and brightest men and women. The other day in a certain Chicago hospital a young man volâ€"4 unteered to have his arm strapped to a little child‘s, and to let thcf healthy blood of his veins flow into hers. The operation saved | the child‘s life. 5 ; Such an act is heroic, in its place. { ¢ But need we of Waterloo be foolishly heroic? Are Toronto and Hamilton like frail infants on hospital cots périshing for blood? Need we open our veins to them as freely as the Chicago youth did to the little child in the hospital? Just think that query over before vou mail off your nex{ money order, or before you make an outâ€"c~ town shopping tripâ€" Have you ever stopped to think that ( h time you shop, out of town, each time you send off your hard earned cash to pay someâ€" body else‘s profits in some other city, you are stabbing your town in the back? | â€" w s P Cnah o azia> A quickening of it bilities of export trade *mission.

Where it circulates lustily there is health, strength, wellâ€"being and long life. But when it is drained off, lassitude, teehleness, misery and death result. You can no more separate your own wellâ€"being from that of Waterloo as a whole that you can cut off your arm and expect that it will continue to function usefully all by itself, Your prosperity is Waterloo‘s and Waterloo‘s is yours. Waterloo‘s prosperity depends upon the continued flaw â€" of good money through its commercial arteries. Waterloo‘s prosâ€" perity depends upon its industrial soundness. its realty values, the stability of its merchants, the resources of its banks, the circulatâ€" ing wealth of its inhabitants. Your future, the health and hapâ€" piness of your children, are linked indissolubly with the prosperity of the town you live in.

Ayearst, the chief license inspector, who has been susâ€" pended, to have led an honorable life, and to have been a zealous and pubâ€" lic faithful servant. I thought it betâ€" ter to make this statement now at the ‘(")ncluulon of the investigation rathâ€" er than later, in order that Mr. Ayearst might receive the benefit of its publication. The ultimate tribunal, of course, is the public, and they will be the final judges. As for me, I have no hesitation in affirming the correct ness of my judgment. "It is borrifying to me that anyone should suggest that a man of Mr. Ayearst‘s character should come here and commit perjury and get olhel‘u‘ to commit perjury, rather than conâ€" fess a fault. ‘ Committed Two Indiscretions. "Although an honorable man, Mr. Ayearst committed two indiscretions. When the money was offered to him by Solomon he should have refused to have had anything further to do with it. Moreover, I deem it very unwise and likely to lead to suspicion for a superior officer to borrow money from his subordinate. "I think it is disproven that any agreement was ever entered into beâ€" tween Mr. Ayearst and Hinch and Solomon to share in the money which the latter received from the Duncan Detective Agency. It is esâ€" tablished to my satisfaction that Mr Ayears: never entertained any hope xf sharing in the money and I find that there never was any agreement thst he should share. I also find it was contemplated by Hinch and Soloâ€" mon to give Mr. Ayearst oneâ€"third of the money and Hinch was probabiy under _ the impression continuously Solomon may have had his own rea son for not undeceiving Hinch. 1 find that an offer was rade to Mr. Ayearst «and that he refused to take any part of the money. "I entirely discredit the evidence of Duncan as to the manner in which he said he employed Solomon and Hinch. "I think that it was a prudent thing for Ayearst to allow men to work‘ with Duncan‘s agency. . It enabled them to allow his men to locate men in illicit liquor business through conâ€" ductors on trains.â€" There is nothing singular in allowing his men to do this work. "I accept the statement of Solomon that the money was intended to be kept together. The money was deâ€" posited with an agreement with Mr. Ayearst with a clear understanding. "There is nothing in the statement that the fees were deposited for Ayearst‘s benefit. Ayearst told them he would not take the money and rractically made a present of it to Solomon and Hinch. It is suggested that Solomon got his â€" share. .

Surely Mr. McKay did not apâ€" preciate the gravity of his statement when he tried to impress upon me that perjuty was committed."

McLachlan, who was called as a writing expert, of two samples of writing by George Wilton, one taken before his arrest, and the other taken after arrest, as having been written by the same person,. who signed the name of Lawrence Near to a transfer of a $109 Victory Bond, and also enâ€" dorsed a cheque made to the order of Lawrence Near at Kitchener, was the turning point in the preliminary hearâ€" ing against Wilton in the Police Court this morning. Wilton was committed for trial on three charges, the first of wtealing a Victory Bond for £100 and some money from â€"â€"Lawrence Near, the second of forgery and the third of obtaining $98 at Kitchener by _ falke pretences. He pleaded not guilty on all charges, and elected to be tried by a jury. The man who purchased the bond at Kitchener. and the teller who cashed the cheque would not! swear that the accused was the man with whom they had dealings. Last “January a sum of money disappeared from the pocket of H. J. Near, Duffer in Street.

"Keep faith with the Mennonites" is the gist of the opinion in Mennoâ€" nite circles throughout the County as a result of the recent Dominion leg: istation affecting the migration . of Mennonites from the United States and other countries to Canada. A number of prominent Mennonites and Mennonite descendants interviewed by the writers are of the opinion . that the Governiment is committing an act of injustice in discriminating against the members of their congregations because of a religious tenat. They point out that one of the boasts of the: free people of the North American continent is that religious liberty is one of the foundation stones of the deâ€" mocracy under which the continent has developed and . prospered. For that reason they maintain that it ill becomes the Government of Canada to pass immigration laws which so diâ€" }recuy discriminate the people of the Mennonite sect. One prominent merchant speaking to The writer stated that when â€" the Mennonites came to this country they 1id â€"so on the understanding that _ the fovernment would respect one of the nain tenmats of their religion which was that a Mennonite should never sear arms. Under this condition he :tated the Mennonite brethern flockâ€" »d to Waterloo County from Pennsylâ€" vania and their history here is one to which their descendants can look back with pride. They were thrifty, indusâ€" rious and frugal. They lived lawâ€" ‘biding lives and because of their honâ€" sty they never put to the Governm@nt o court expense on their account. The labor of the Mennonites was argely instrumental in the building ip of the excellent reputation of Watâ€" rloo County. The merchant declar ‘d that they more than kept their igreement with the Government to be vorthy citizens and he felt that it is ow up to the Government to keep aith with the Mennonites. He stated hat the agreement in connection with â€"xemption from bearing arms dated ‘rom the éarliest days of the Mennoâ€" rites in Canada. It was not a coveâ€" rant entered int6 by trickery because he Mennonites féareg such a war as was started in 1914 and wished to ave their sons from the terror of its battlefields. He declared that it was i covenant entered into with the Govâ€" irnment because of religious belief. The Government was free to reject the â€" Mennonite immigrants over a hundred years ago, but it accepted the Mennonites on their own terms and thould now be fair enough to stand by the terms of the original agreement. Another of _ Kitchener‘s leading business men who is _ a _ decendant from »Mennonite forefathers declared ‘his morning that he was opposed tc the action of the Government in pen ilizing a class of people because . of their religious beliefs. . He stated ‘hat he had no doubt but that there were a number of young men who had. irifted away fronm the old Mennonite ‘ongregation and who were adhering o others sects when the war _ broke ut and who when they â€" heard of ‘onscription .coming on immediately ceverted fo the old congregations for he purpose of avoiding conscription These he stated were imposters . but he declared the Mennonites should iot be reflected wpon and _ penalized ecause of the actions of these slack ts. He stated that in his opinion ‘the fairest way for the â€" Government to proceed in the matter would be to keep faith with the Old Mennonites ind to legislate so that all new Men wonites coming into the country would "e required to accept the laws of th ‘ountry as they are and | waive al" rights or claims on military _ exemp rion when entering Canada. This h «tated would be a fairer measure thar restricting their immigration. Judging from certainâ€" intimations made to the writer by the various mea interviewed, the nmt'}er is to re ceive serious _ consideration at the congregation meetings of the Mennon ites of Canada and it is expected that i strong delegation will wait on the Government to obtain redress. $,000 WORKERS IN TORONTO GO ON STRIKE Toronto. _ April â€" 30.â€"A â€" situation, which is fraught with danger to the industrial life of Toronto has been precipitated on the city with the «trike which went into effect this evâ€" ening at 5 o‘clock, _ affecting> 6.000 workmen and 225 factories _ of the metal trades industry.
