He further adds that all things being normal there should be steady progress of pupils through the public school grades and he considers that approximately ninetyâ€"five per cent. of the children may be considered mentalâ€" ly capable of ‘benefitting by public school inâ€" struction up to the fourth grade. If there is any lack of normal progress he states that the principal should assume the responsibility for determining the cause. ‘‘The old idea thatâ€"it would react unfavorâ€" ably upon the pupil physically or upon his nervâ€" ous system is virtually without foundation. There is, on the other hand, a real value in the selfâ€"discipline to which a pupil must subject himself to make good in the face of a handicap. Life is full of just such situations and the development of a disposition to work in order to excel, to do his best even against odds, to ‘play the game‘â€"this is a lesson greater than any subject on the curriculum." According to an old belief the double proâ€" motion system under which pupils "skip" a grade in the scKools was detrimental to the pupil‘s progress. Public School Inspector Prueter, of Kitchener, does not hold this view. Commenting on the matter he says in a recent According to the figures of Sanitary Inspector Clarke, communicable diseases in Waterloo, with the exception of whooping cough, were unknown throughout the winter months. This is in strong contrast to the simâ€" ilar period last year when chickenpox and scarâ€" let fever were prevalent.

What a ridiculous idea that.

The coliapse of the grain market has drawn the attention of wide awake business men in every line. Farming has repeatedly been referâ€" red to as the basic industry of Caâ€" nada, and there are those who claim that the general depression in busiâ€" ness is largely due to the holding back of Canada‘s wheat.
