y" . I nu (AINtortoo Chronicle tl nuwi'v v“. - The need of settlers to people the un- occupied areas is self evident and accounts for the increased attention being given to, immi- gration. NEW rival of warmer weather an increasing number 1 of automobiles are to be seen on the highways ', and indications point to an even more extend- _ ed use of the automobile than last year. This fact again directs attention to the automobile menace from careless and reckless drivers, many of whom have a mania for speed. Within the past few years the statistics of fatalities only too plainly evidence the constant need of care both on the part of the automobile driver and the pedestrian if accidents are to be reduced to a minimum. The experience of one American insurance combany shows that dur- ing 1925 there were 2,724 fatalities among policyholders, the death rate having increased by 50 per cent since 1920 and was in 1925 seven times the rad of 1911. Automobile fatalities had grown from 7 per cent of the total arrident deaths to the alarming propor- “WWII-M ultimatum!” ing 1925 there were 2,724 Ian policyholders, the death rate has by 50 per cent since 1920 and seven times the rad of 1911 fatalities had grown from 7 IN total accident deaths to the ala tion of 25 per cent. in 1925. now/mum um Canada's experience, although less un- favorable, is such as to impress upon every motorist the need of constant vigilance. Within the next month or two the highways will again be crowded with cars and if accidents are to be avoided or reduced to the minimum every care will have to be exercised by those using the roadways of the county and province. "Safety First" should be the guiding motto of motor- ists generally. A little extra precaution will oftentimes save lives which otherwise would be sacrificed. as prospective new buyers are waiting to see whether reduced tariffs will mean reduced prices. It is also believed that the stamp tax will be abolished, that stamps on all cheques payable to the Receiver General will be elimin- ated and that there will be a reduction in the stamp tax on bills and notes and a re-adjust-) ment of the super-tax on incomes with a View to making it more equitable. The tax reductions made by the United States government during the past year or two have caused “an increased demand for lower taxation in Canada which the government evi- dently intends to meet in some measure. h With the opening of spring and the ar- , Ema BEING ovum UP I TKRDUGH mscovxmr or I NEW WHEAT l THE MENACE OF INCREASED AUTOMOBILE TRAFFIC The incalculabie losses sustsined by Great Britain and her Dominions as s result of the wsr is vividly brought home to those who have visited the British War cemeteries.

It is pointed out that the Cadet Corps I reach only a small percentage of boys, that practically no provision is made for physical education of girls under this scheme, and that, it is expensive considering the number of pupils reached, averaging about $5.00 per ‘cadet owing to the expenditures required for equipment and instructors" salaries. It is further urged that the Cadet Corps syllabus includes elements of little or no value from the standpoint of maintaining the ohysieal health of children and that elements which are of l great value both for the child and as a means of fostering permanent health habits in adult life are not taught; also that the scheme will never have the endorsation of the public as a whole since it is objected to by some parents 1 in every community, the children of such par- ents being therefore deprived of physical training. . While declaring their belief that it is most important that the course in physical educa- tion should be taken by all who are capable of doing so, it is emphasized by the _organiza-} tion that the Departments of Education have courses outlined in physical education in which Ahe undesirable features of cadet work are eliminated but which will include health activi- ties in accordance with present-day ideas; alsol that the allotment set aside for cadet training' by the Department of National Defence which, according to the present Minister of National Defence, is intended for physical training, be utilized for that purpose and not for militar- istic training, and that the grants be turned over over to the Provincial Departments of Education to administer. - ' .-. ., "in" Alum.

Consideration could well be given to the various points stressed in the resolu- ition of the United Farmers. In connection' with the demand that Mr. D. M. Kennedy, the Progressive representzh‘ tive in Peace River riding, resign owing to the conviction of a deputy returning officer for violations of the Elections Act, it is pointed' out that Mr.’ Kennedy could not resign even if he desired to do so, a protest having been lodged and until this protest is decided he cannot legally relinquish his seat in Parlia- ment. The progress of Canada's foreign trade 13 well illustrated in the increase of nearly a quarter billion dollars in the Dominion's ex-' ports for the year ending in February. Farm products were responsible for the greatest part of the increase in exports. By far the largest increase in purchases made from Canada was“ by the United Kingdom, the figures showing In advance from $393,923,201 to ',ri'l'2,'i'ii'i,'oi'sir, The development of young and promising industries in Canada goes on space. The manu- facture of artificial silk is one of them. A com- pany has just been organized which is to erect a $7,200,000 plant at Drummondville, Quebec, for the manufacture of artifieiaP silk from pvood pulp and other commodities. Europe is now entering upon a period of commercial and industrial progress undisturb- ed by international complications which in- creases the possibilities for export trade in which Canada will naturally share, Europe be- ing our great market. New ways of conserving and making use of what was formerly considered waste ma- terial are coming to light from time to time. The making of paper from straw which now goes to waste on the prairies is seriously en- gaging the attention of westerners. It is also reported that ink can be tsken out of the print- led newspaper without destroying the fthre.

It was an audience ot miueationitrttt in the largest sense ot the word. In , it were teachers. professors, clergy- / men, parents, trustees and rate- :' payers, members of the Ontario I Educational Association, gathered; ' together in annual convention for - the purpose ot attacking old irrote _ lems, anticipating new, and, in gen- eral, working toward a better spirit ot education and a more" thorough s technique. - Says Cost ls Excessive. Say: Cost Is Excessive. I Premier Ferguson httid that he was more deeply concerned about about educational conditions in rur- al parts than in any other section. They were going to see it some means could not be tound whereby) rural pupils would get an education with greater efficiency at much re. duced cost. He had made a sus- gestion and had asked mral people and trustees to discuss it and make alternative suggestions It they would. \‘ In .tr,000 one-momed schools scattered over the tanning districts , of Ontario, 7 had on attendance ot l pupil n day, while in "more than 700 lever than 10 attended. The cost to educnte these pupils in the 700 schools was about three times on an average, ot the whole Prov- ince. In the small school there who not only the high cost, but there was not much elicient educstion. The teacher could not be thrilled with her opportunity dsy stter dar.
