P. C. HILL Crossing 3 bridge before you come to’ it doe§f1’t make the toll any less when you do get to it. It is reported that a California frog with six legs is so jointed that it can hop in any direction. It should go in for politics. Last week was designated as “Prosperity Week” and an effort was made by a large commercial organization to down the feeling that “times are hard.” A Visitor in our office this week when speaking of the widespread depression suggested a cure and ventured the opinion that if “every working person would immediately spend $20. on necessities prosperity would return in the country.” We’re willing to start the procession if someone will lend us the $20. An American passing through the other day wanted to know why. we called them “by-elections” here in Ontario. Over the line he said they called them “buy-elections.” But We confess that we doubt the possibility of educat- ing the “road hogs” to be courteous. They seem to think that the world owes them a speedway and they are out to get it. And they do get it, at the expense of the other fel- low. Courtesy is an admirable thing. There is a lot of it on the highways, or motoring would be Wholly impossible. But not infrequently one wishes for a good stout car with a heavy bar projecting from the side to sweep the highways clean of “road hogs.” They never would be missed. What is to be done with the “road hog” is a difficult question. He is considered by motorists everywhere the worst pest of streets and highways. Every time you turn a corner you must be on your guard lest you meet him on your right of way. He is a thief against whom you can protect yourself only by constant caution. He makes mot- oring a labor instead of a recreation. If he could be elimi- nated from traffic the highways would automatically be- come more safe. It may be true that there were even “road hogs” in the early days but they did not constitute the same danger as they do to day with their high powered motor cars. ROAD HOGS ON THE HIGHWAY Every motorist who observes the rules of the road and exercises ,‘Care, caution and common sense” in driving has a natural feeling of indignation when every now and then on every highway that universal enemy of safety the “road hog” is encountered. Most drivers to day are capable of handling a car and accidents are largely caused either by reckless driving, a momentary lapse of attention, or care- lessness of some sort or other. The road hog, the driver who cacts as if he (or she) owns the whole road is the cause of many accidents which could and should be. avoided, if we could but have a return to the good old fashioned “road courtesy" that existed in the days of the horse drawn ve~ hicle.

Factory and include all Taxes In everyday intercourse, most of us have suffered at some time or another, 3 as "a result of hasty words, and unkind ,gossip. Once drop the stone in the The printed word, maybe these move the world the most. The great poets, the folk songs, the patriotic airs, have been exceedingly influential. Rousâ€" seau’s “Social Contract,” with it’s fa- mous opening, “Man is born free, but is everywhere in chains,” contributed an immense impetus to the French Revolution. Books, newspapers, mag- azines, are now within the reach of all. Some even serve unworthy purposes, reports of outrage and violence, to say nothing of all the shameless stories of divorce court proceedings. Consider Oratory. What a wonder‘ ful influence the orator has enjoyed all through the ages, from the pane- gyric of Pericles to Lincoln’s speech at Gettysburg, or the orations of Ci- cero and Demosthenes to those wond- erful remarks of Lord Moyihan utter- ed in Toronto recently. And because speech is so great and powerful it is beset with many snares. Like water and fire, it may do good, again it might do harm. How easy to use just sentences, and high sounding phrases. “Liberty.” “Equality,” “Hon- our,” “Justice,” “Brotherhood.” What splendid symbols. Yet when flung hither and thither, carelessly, how cheap they become. How easy it is to stir up the base feelings of a mobp or play down to a cultured cynicism. Once having let the words go forth,| how difficult to repair the damage they may do. A violent speech by an agitator in a dockyard may mean idleness, hunger, and suffering for thousands of homes. A single unwise word in an Indian Assembly may lead to the murder of hundreds of innocent men. The orator, political and other- wise, will do well to lay to heart these facts. 7 Therseiare'thFdaygofiworagfid an abundance of words. Last summâ€" er found us in the throes of a general election, and still there echoes in our ears millions of words. Last spring the Naval Conference, now the Imperâ€" ial Conference, words and more words. ‘What a mass of parley. I under- istand that modern history is not as ’attractive to the young as that of an earlier age. The reason is not hard to find. It used to be action, fights, adventures, and people did things. Now it is just words, treaties, negoti- ations, leagues of Nations. EYES and EARS THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO Richmond Hill WORDS f The teachers then visited the new >Star Building on King Street, where they were guests of The Star. Com- petent guides conducted the party through the entire plant and explain- ed all the processes through which a paper passes before it is delivered on the_door step. I A most interesting address was lgiven by Miss Irene Atcheson, of Se- lcord School on “The schools of Brit- Vish Columbia." Miss E. B. Tate in the President’s address on Friday morning referred to the general trend of education to- ward technical training, and in a very able manner brought out the princip- le of “Helping the Child” through the manual arts. L Inspector W.W.A. Trench, B.A., then spoke to the teachers, his ad- .dress was entitled “Observation.” He thanked the teachers of the inspect- orate for their loyal support and coâ€" operation, complimented them on their efficient work. but drew their attention to any weaknesses which he had noted during his visits. His crit- icisms were kindly and constructive and much benefit was derived from his remarks. Mr. Trench left an important thought with his teachers for he said, “With the introduction of machinery our people must become more Versatile and be able to fit themselves into the ever changing economic conditions. The teachers of our schools are in a position to influâ€" ence the child of to-day along these lines, and in so doing bring about a more favourable employment situat- ion. After a short discussion on the new “Month by month course of Study” recently issued to all schools in the country, through the inspectors, the teachers took part in group discus- sions. Programmes were arranged of special interest to teachers of the various grades. Many local teachers took part in these programmes. Mr. H. J. Hunter, Principal of Duke of York school gave a paper, “Methods in Geography in Fourth Class.” Sup- plementary reading for Second Class was discussed by Miss B; Harron, of Willowdale school. Miss Vigras, of Lansing in the First Class section took her tonic “Other Methods of obtain- ing Expressive Reading." . Miss Jackson, of Newtonbrook, taught a lesson in nature study" for the same section. Judge H. S. Mott, of the Toronto Juvenile Court gave the teachers a real treat in his address, “A teacher’s Viewpoint.” The speaker in a. most convincing and interesting manner showed how every subject taught in the schools should be related to the child’s instincts. He further pointed out that all the teacher’s problems of discipline could be traced to some inagqral expression of instinct. I On Thursday, October 9th, the meet/- ing was opened with Devotional Exerâ€" ‘cises, conducted by the Rev. W. G. Sun- ter, Church of the Resurrection, Woodbine Avenue. Miss E. B. Tate, Principal of Newtonbrook School oc- cupied the chair. Following the reading of the minutes and other bus- ness agenda, some excellent class singing was rendered by the pupils of William Burgess School, East York under the very able direction of Mr. Robert Eggaford. The convention was a decided suc- cess and many were heard to remark, “One of the best we have had in years.” This is no doubt due to the efforts of the very able executive pre- sided over by Miss Tate of Newtom brook. The officers elected for the icm‘ning‘ _schoql year are as follows;â€" While our children have been enjoy- ing two days holiday, the teachers of Division 5 of the York County Teach- ers Institute have been in convention at the Toronto Normal School. ,,,,. _.-._v‘,. a» u.- AVIAVWD,â€" Hon-President, Tnspectnr W.

Oh so many words. Of course, not all words must be solemn or instructiVe, we must leave room for words that are refreshing {and entertaining. There are words |that brighten, and polish, and cheer. Like a dust cloth, it will not keep out the cold, but it will polish and cheer things up. If we were never to open our mouths other than to utter some- thing weighty and instructive, what terrible prigs we could be. There is a big place for the jest, and for the half hour talk that sparkles and re- freshes. At no period in the history of civilization have words possessed a greater power, or exercised a. great- er influence. In no generation has education been so wide or the means \of communication so numerous or so swift. At no period has man’s re- ‘sponsibility for words been so grave. These are not only the days of Oraâ€" tory, or the Press, but of the grama- phone, the radio, the talkie. Perhaps we can realize how it is that in time of national stress a'censorship has to be applied. water nothing can stop the eddies and lripples. There are friendships once 'true and fast which can never be quite the same again because of some idle hasty Word once spoken, never forâ€" gotten even long after it has been forâ€" given. Elsie Ess) York County Teachers Hold Convention Fall wheat is looking fairly well throughout the whole province, ac- cording to reports received, and the fine weather of October enabled the farmers in the southwestern penin- sula to do late sowing. Many farm- ers report the poorest crop of turnips in years, While sugar beets Will yield about the same as in other seasons. Considerable stocker cattle are being purchased, due to large yields of grains and low prices offered for same. There are indications of a good supply of Canadian seed corn for 19- 31. Dairy cattle are in keen demand in the restricted T.B. Free areas, and many outside buyers are invading these districts for accredited cattle.
