PAGE TWO I pray Almighty God that the words I write in this house may be pure and honestâ€"that they be dictated by no personal spite, un- worthy motive or unjust greed for gain; that they may tell the truth as far as men. Jack Miner, the Kingsville Naturalist who has a great love for the birds and also for human beings, especially the children, diverted his attention from the wild geese long enough to say a few pertinent things about the wild motorists, a short time ago, and suggested that if speed is to continue to be the ruling motive in the minds of auto- mobile owners â€" and there seems to be no let-up to the paceâ€" the government of this country should consider seriously the construction of footpaths, especially in school districts, for the benefit of pedes- trians. “Uncle Jack” was widely quoted for his very sensible remarks. Newspapers supported him whole-heartedly, but the agitation died down, probably because there are more motorists than pedestrians’ and the children are taking the same long chances on the heavily-tra- veled highways. 3 TheuSt. 'lv‘homas Times-Journal renews the discussion, l and after pointing out the difficulties which motorists experience in seeing ped- estrians, and strongly supporting the idea of building footpaths, it says : - “People are prohibited from walking on the railroad tracks on ac- count of the danger, yet they are forced to accept the dangers of _the highways or else take to the ditch. Yet in some ways it would be safer to take to the railroad track, were they permitted. It is easier to avoid a train that has to stick to the rails, than to escape dais com- ing and going, all the time on both s'des of the road. Yes, footpaths at the sides are badly needed, and everyone admits they should be provided. The time to make a start is long in coming.” The hardest thing to get done is something which everybody thinks should be done, but which nobody in particular proposes to do. The matter of expense is a serious stumbling block to the proposal to construct side footpaths along all pavements, but the government could very reasonably and beneficially make a start by providi g these “safety paths” for children in the vicinity of schools situati‘a- long provincial highways, and then gradually extend the syste as finances permit. The rights of the pedestrian seem to be entirely overlooked in most instances in this motor age. We build pavements for cars, signs to warn drivers of dangerous turns and perilous intersections, and we issue attractive booklets inviting them to come to this country and en- couraging them to monopolize the roads, while we practically say to the pedestrian “Look Out! Watch your step! Keep out of‘ the way there!"â€"â€"all the time making it harder and harder for him to follow the advice. It is a fine thing to encourage the tourist‘trade, and to provide such facilities that visitors will be encouraged to come‘,‘ but there is a danger of making the question of transportation a very oneâ€"sided af- fair. The pedestrian also has rights, and they should be respected and protected. EARNING AN EDUCATION In these days the all-absorbing ambition of most parents is to give their sons and daughters a flying start along the road to success. How often the remark is passed, “I hope my boy will never have to go through the hard times his dad has had to contend With!” The great- est desire of most fathers is to give their boys the best education they are willing to receive, to set them up in business, or give them a favorable start should they desire to enter one of the professions; and with the conscientious parent, no sacrifice it too great, no hours of work too long, no task too difficult to enable them to live up to the job they have set before them. All of this is most praiseâ€"worthey, but cannot indulgence be prac- ticed to such an extent that it becomes a hindrance rather than a help to the child? Is the spoonâ€"fed child always the one who makes the greatest success in life? Listen to the remarks of a prominent educationist on this same subject. Dean Scott H. Goodnight of the University of Wisconsin, is the speaker, and he says: Established 1878 AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT RICHMOND HILL THE LIBERAL PRINTING C0., LTD. J.

Many youths whose father provides them with ample spending money. are so busy having a good time in their college days that they have little time left for acquiring knowledge and an edu- cation. Naturally it depends upon the boy. A young man is fortunate in having a father who is able to pay for his education, providing he is duly appreciative of his good fortune, but as far as protecting children from the necessity of looking out for themselves, of neglecting to make them appreciative of the value of money, and of failing to im- press upon them the realization that life is one round of steady and earnest work for the person who succeeds, the system is all wrong. The parent is laboring under adelusion when he protects his boy from the “hard knocks” of life, and the boy himself is gaining a wrong im- pression of what it means to live, and get the most out of an existence We appreciate most, what we work for, and the harder we work the more appreciative we are. This applies to students acguiring an edu- cation, the same as it does to the man at his bench, in his office, or be- hind his counter, who knows the nobility of toil through the fruits of his labors.
