J r EVen :vith the decrease of 16.8 per cent in deaths, the grim fact stands out that every day during the nine months an average of one person was killed by motors in this pro- Vince. Killed 287; injured 5,761. It is time to do something more than to point out to drivers that they must be careful. Experience has shown that well written pleadings and essays are ineffective. This enriched school life is tremendously important for character and talent improvement It is especially import- ant in View of the shortening hours of labour and the in- creasing hours of leisure It is as important to know how to fill one’s leisure hours profitably as it is to know how 1x1) make hours of business profitable to one’s self or em- p oyer. But 6,136 is an appalling total to recbrd, with 257 deaths included. Something decidedly more stringent than present regulations is called fpr‘.‘ The government should take stronger measures and deal with the careless motorist in such a way as to bring home to him his responsibility. Fine and jail sentences seem to have no effect in reducing reckless driving. This paper again suggests that a red tag be ordered attached to» every car driven by a motorist who has been fined. â€"Orillia News-Letter. A DEATH A DAY NEEDS SOMETHING MORE THAN A SERMON There is a crumb of comfort in the bulletin of motor vehicles accidents issued on December 5, in that accidents have decreased 5.1 per cent in [the first nine months of this year as compared with the same period last year. ‘ A good education for every child is still a worthy ob- jective f0 us to place before us. This is and we believe the coming days will be to an increasing degree a day of keen competition in whatever line of endeavour we may be en- gaged. Men and women need all the education and the best education they can secure to equip themselves to take their places successfully in the life which they must face after their education period has ended. In these perplexing days of change and uncertainty a good education is more than ever we believe not only desirable but essential. There are some who overdo education and place al- together too much importance upon their own individual educational attainments. They look upon those Who have not had the same advantage of higher education as an in- ferior class. The only class that might be termed inferior is that class which will not be educated and thus place themselves in the position of becoming probably charitable charges. ---.... o v... The high school of this century has developed a school life in which many activities combine to build up a little world in itself. In addition to academic education, ath- letics, musical and dramatic performances, literary and ar- tistic efforts public speaking and numerous other activities, provide outlets for the talents and energies of boys and girls. These are supervised by the teachers and they are necessary because the well regulated, the keen enjoyable life has a place for all these activities which tend to make life happier. To hold one’s own in this fast moving world one must have a good knowledge of many subjects. In such times as these economies in public expenditure are essential but in our aim for economy we must not let the pendulum swing too far backwards to the point where education does not receive the attention which it should. . PRESENT DAY EDUCATION In the prosperous days of the recent past educational facilities in this country advanced by leaps and bounds. It became commonly accepted that nothing we could do was too good in the line of education for the rising generâ€" ation. It is possible that in the enthusiasm of that day needless frills were added but now that the dark days of economic depression are upon us there is everywhere a great outcry against the excessive cost of education. 1-.
