P AGE TWO It has been definitely announced that it is proposed, at the next session of the Ontario legislature, to introduce a measure providing for an increase in the tax on gasoline, and a decrease in the fee for motor vehicle licenses. Since this decision is based on the policy of making those who use the roads most pay the most towards their con- struction and maintenance, little fault can be found with it. The money must be raised somehow to meet the heavy road expenditures, and it is only right that the motorist who is out on the highways driv- ing scores of miles daily should make a larger contribution towards these expenditures than the man who very rarely travels over the highways. ( , The weakest government is usually the one which has assumed a paternalistic attitude towards its people. Looking to the government and the smaller units of society for help has always had the effect of breaking down the morale of the individual, for many persons are not willing to acquire by their own effort what they can secure for nothing. Society is trying to improve its methods of educating and caring for. its individuals but it is not responsible for the minds and the emo- tions put into them by nature. It voluntarily does its share, but if the individuals get into trouble society has not neglected its duty. A children. Among the “letters from the people” in our last weeks issue was one from a correspondent drawing attention to the fact that many children are on the streets of the village late at night, “Is there no such a thing as a curfew law nowadays” he asks. In answer to the question we would point out that at the last session of the provincial legislature was passed the following important enactment to the Chil. dren's Protection Act: “No child shall loiter in any public place after nine o’clock in the evening, or be in any place of public resort or en:‘ t'ertainment after that hour, unless accompanied by his parent or guardian, or an adult appointed by the parent or guardian to accomp- any such child.” A parent who permits his child to violate this section of the act, shall for the first offence incur a penalty of $1.00; for a second offence $2.00, and for a third or any subsequent offence, $5.00 There is no need 10f a curfew law in any community. This act will cover any of the points necessary to restrict the hours of children on the streets. The onus is on all the parents to see that the new law is obeyed by the children. Many children lack at home the discipline and training that is necessary for the building of stable character, and if they are not taught helpful precepts for their early years by the schools and the churches, they are left to acquire the usually harmful knowledge that is picked up on the streets. Today the responsibility for the training of the youth seems to have been placed upon society, thereby making it possible for many parents to escape the obligations that are theirs by right and to a large extent are considered so by law. Organized society has made it possible for many parents to evade their duties in raising their In the early history of this countryâ€"in fact, up to within twoWK generationsâ€"parents appeared to feel a real responsibility for the dis- cipline and conduct of their children. Many modern parents seem to hold to the belief that the schools and society should take from them the obligation of child training. About forty years ago Manitoba's wheat field constituted the en- tire western grain crop and it r'equired twelve freight cars to move that first crop. This year Canada’s tWo great railways have been moving 80,000 cars to the prairies to handle the 1927 crop. By way of comparison the figures are very interesting. No feeling of satisfaction quite equals that of having done a diffi- cult job extremely well. ‘ as is men.
